It does sound like Bohemian Rhaposdy a little bit! Also, if you listen to the guitar solo of Wither part of it sounds like Bohemian Rhapsody's solo. It's weird how these things happen in music.
the song talks about how the record companies werent letting DT enough freedom to do their own music. the reference to cobain and hoon are the examples of promising talents who flopped because the companies disagreed with them. DT doesnt want that to happen to them.
The big machines take care of you Until you kill yourself And then the sales go through the roof Calculated, formulated Feed my head with simple thoughts And let me breathe instead of being taught All bottled up and tearing at the seams I'm bored Just let me breathe
I love how right after "dead and buried" they go into Progressive mode, ripping out a adorable little section in 5. It's like they're saying, "I'll see your stardom and raise you an odd meter, and throw in some 7-string riffage that'll groove you in ways no heroin addict ever could"
Hmm is there a connection to this song and "Take the time?" In Take the Time he says"Close your eyes you'll find all you need in your mind" in this song he says "Close your mind you'll find all your need with your eyes"
@shwangomatic I NEVER said they weren't great musicians, because they were. They were unbelievably amazing musicians and Cobain was a genius at writing lyrics.
I like panic attack by dream theater , you go there and you see all the nasty comments they put about not having it on rock band 2 and having it on rock band 2..
Probably worst Dream Theater song to date. And the fact that it recklessly mentions Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain makes it worse. I mean, I get it about Cobain. The guy everyone loves to hate. It doesn't surprise me, even though I love Nirvana. But Hoon...? It breaks my heart.
omg. the part at 2:51 that nickelback stole is the best part of this song. I guess it's a good part to steal! When labrie sings AAAANNGGGGEEERRR! that's the shit!
this is the most intelligent song from a lyrical point of view just because its criticizing everything thats wrong with the musical industry that nobody recognizes....
I don't care about what DT fans tell about this album, anyhow form several LP's with Rudess all DT sounds the same ... this album as well as Images and Awake has a certain groove ... Derek and Moore loved very much the melody instead of technique
I don't care about what DT fans tell about this album, anyhow form several LP's with Rudess all DT sounds the same ... this album as well as Images and Awake has a certain groove ... Derek and Moore loved very much the melody instead of technique ...
this song isn't criticizing shannon hoon and kurt cobain. it IS criticizing the music industry/labels though. the song is called "just let me breathe", it's about the crushing pressure that artists are under from the labels to keep putting out material and keep touring. it destroys lives, like cobain and hoon - and the labels know that when they drive these artists to death the sales are only going to go up. they use up artists like Cobain and Hoon, throw them away, and rake in the dough
This song it's hypocritical, how you criticize the big labels when you're in one?, Why you critic the business that you help to made?, it's bullshit, the only difference of this band and others with more presence in TV it's that their songs are 20 minutes longer. And i know, "how dare you?, they're gods", no, they are not gods, it's just a medium band with long songs, boring sound that the metalheads defends just for the technique,well music it more than technique,Noon and Cobain knew it.DTdon't
I would take the time to learn to type what I want to say before I say it. You're already going to be biased against because you're on this band's video criticizing them so they would only think you moronic if you can't say what you're trying to say. It doesn't help your side at all is what I'm saying. Feel free to have your own opinion, I'm just telling you what would be best.

Albert Einstein dijo, “ Quienquiera que emprenda la tarea de erigirse como juez en el campo de la verdad y el conocimiento naufragará ante la risa de los dioses.”
@marianofreddi ¿Entonces tienes que lanzarme una frase de Einstein para contestarme?, ¿que alguien mas tiene que opinar por ti?, ¿que no tienes un criterio propio como para decir claramente algo en lugar de hablar metafóricamente para darte aires de listo?, Cualquiera puede hacerlo. Personne n'est un écrivain pour avoir choisi de faire certaines choses, mais par la façon dont vous le dites. Por Jean-Paul Sartre.
@Beast6Of6Bass6 por que, el punto es que no puedes criticar algo en lo que estas tan hundido, un carnicero no puede hablar sobre vegetarianismo a mi punto de ver y dream theater no puede (al menos no de una manera creible) hablar sobre un sistema que ellos mismos fomentan al estar metidos en el, la banda que quiere quedarse fuera de eso, lo hace, hay cientos de bandas exitosas que se quedan en indies y no insultan a otro musicos que no les agradan y mucho menos componen canciones sobre ellos...
@Beast6Of6Bass6 y por si eso no fuera poco, se les ocurre insultar a gente que si ha hecho contribuciones importantes a la música. Espero que dream theater algún día haga un álbum la décima parte de lo bueno e influyente que uno de Nirvana. Y ni te molestes en contestarme que ya dije todo lo que tenia que decir y si quieres seguir echando bronca puedes seguir en otro lado donde tu intolerancia no sea un problema. Am I clear?
Pienso que si no les gusta la banda o la canción no comenten eso solo demuestra lo inmaduros que son en lugar de criticar deberían aprender ha respetar es claro que no entienden la música de dt igual esta música no es para cualquier idiota que por lo general es un músico fracasado
dt es excelente para mi los mejores del mundo saludos =)
This album is probably my least or second least favorite of theirs, as it is for most everyone, but I think this song is really good. It has great energy and portrays the emotion Dream Theater felt then. Gets me fired up every time I listen to it.
You're right, Hoon is nowhere near a mediocre musician, he was a great musical mind. I'm so sick of people criticizing other music just because they lack heaviness or speed. Blind Melon was great in there own right, just like Dream Theater is a great band for what they do. I'm so sick of "metalheads" they're so ignorant.
@SpaceDyeDream This is probably the worst album Dream Theater ever made, precisely because the record companies pushed for them to produce more of a 'mainstream' sound, and even hired a songwriter(Desmond Child) to re-write a couple of the songs, specifically "You Not Me."
Instead of mainstream success, they got just the opposite; the album was their biggest critical and commercial flop.
It's not a 'BAD' album, it's just a bad Dream Theater album.
An album that had to grow on me when it debuted, but when it did, it became an amazing album - but, saying that, this was a Song that HIT ME right away with a few others, and the way the "industry" almost broke up the band in the making of this album and the lyrical comments of the song are priceless :D Great stuff! -MAVIII

@DegraDeadlock (@xXSTFDXx) yes, DT plays only fast, when they think, that this would underline the atmosphere right.... and usually they think right^^
@DerMax1990 pretty much all of 6 degrees and Train of thought are 7 string, and a few songs off awake and images are 7 string if you're looking for more
listen real close to JP at 4:29-4:34. nothing earth shatteringly complex, just some simple interval work there on his way to the octave. it's very few notes played but it's done so well with the feedback.
@DegraDeadlock This is where people misunderstand dream theater. They don't play fast for the sake of playing fast, like blind guardian or children of bodom or even dragonforce. They play fast because they can, and they don't do it everytime - they do it when the time is right. This is music at its best.
@xXSTFDXx I think he was agreeing with you, but just saying that its okay to listen to music thats not as complex... I think Id hafta agree with him there. If I only listened to bands that were as talented muscially as Dream Theater Id only have 5 artists on my iTunes instead of 105... or 104 rather, since I'm deleting Metallica in like two minutes.
@blavaburnulots My itunes consists almost entirely progressive metal, with bands near the same magnitude as Dream Theater. I can't listen to anything else. Progressive metal is the pinnacle of music. But yeah, I only have 14 artists in my itunes, 12 are progressive metal bands. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Except with more awesome progressive metal bands of course.
@Virus940 I don't mind simplicity in music. I have artists ranging from The Kinks, to Spock's Beard. Dream Theater to Megadeth (and all the side projects and solo careers of the various members of both bands). A friend of mine listens to Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold obsessively, and despite how much I hate both bands, one or two songs have grown on me. All of my favorites are prog bands, but theres more out there. I guess thats the point of my long winded message.
@Virus940 I know this is a bit late. But, out of curiosity, what are the bands in your iTunes? I may be tempted to look some of them up, if they are as you say.
@blavaburnulots BTBAM, Protest the Hero, Periphery, Cynic, Fuge, Keith Merrow, Tesseract, Orbs, Dream Theater of course, Meshuggah (they're very much an acquired taste). Those are all the prog bands I listen to. Then I have a few songs from All That Remains and As I Lay Dying.
@Virus940 I'll look into them then thanks. Though I already have listened to BTBAM before and can say I probably will not like them. But, if you like prog bands of the same magnitude (or close to it) as DT and can tolerate some more mellow music, then you should look into Gentle Giant or Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. I'm also surprised that Transatlantic is not on that list.
@Virus940 I would say the same, but there are times when heavier music manages to only annoy me and I switch over to more mellow stuff, and the same goes vice versa when mellow stuff annoys me. My listening pattern is random and my iTunes library very diverse.
@Virus940 O_o we are all that remains.... finish a song... we are all that remains... start a song... we are all that remains... finish a song... we are all that remains. Me- yeah i heard you the first fucking time jesus christ! Them live, not good... got to say.
@ZenithXUrizen I've never heard them live. I don't really care either, I'm not a huge fan of them. I just listen to a few of their songs once in a while.
@xXSTFDXx Eh, I see your point and agree with it to an extent but you really can't bundle these guys in with BG, CoB or DF - they're completely different bands. Power metal is pretty difficult to compare to progressive metal in the grand scheme of things.
Maybe something like Symphony X would be a better comparison (a nice middle ground between the genres).
@xXSTFDXx true. I just like to tell people to listen to vacant, space-dye vest, goodnight kiss etc. and tell me again that dream theater just play as fast as they can a bunch all the time. And I wouldn't put it like "they play fast because they can" I'd put it more like they "play fast when it is necessary to create a certain vibe just like they play slow, melodically or, percussively etc. to create different feelings" They are well rounded performers/composers.
@xXSTFDXx Did you just say Blind Guardian plays fast for the sake of playing fast? I just saw them last night and they had one of the best slower groves I have heard. Besides the fact that Andre, the lead guitarist, was playing rather slow solos compared to most other solos.... These people...
@hide21998 There's a difference between between playing fast -only- and playing fast - for the sake of playing fast-. Don't get me wrong dude, I absolutely love CoB, for example, but I still am able to admit that they do play for the sake of playing fast a lot of the times. Then again, I don't see any problem at all with playing fast just for the hell of it, I love fast-paced metal. It's just that people for some reason use it against dream theater. Like they're to blame for being so skilled.
@DegraDeadlock he was drunk as hell when he said that haha. but petrucci was a sport about and said "me better than Alexi laiho?" "that guy can play while drunk!"
@ackohler There are people who would say the same about lady gaga and akon. I'm sorry my man, but compared to DT and many other bands, yes, hoon is a mediocre musician. Compared to 50 cent he is a genius.
@xXSTFDXx only a dumb fuck would compare two whole different genres (metal and rap - 50 cent). you can't compare two people from two different genres. it's un-fuckin heard of
@xXSTFDXx i respect what you are saying and agree accept with your claim of 'mediocre' musicians...I am a life long theater fan so dont mistake POV as spam or hate..but if music is based on who is a better skilled musician than i suppose your comment is right...Its clear the 2 you mention could never put together anything half as complex/incredible as theater do but that doesnt make them mediocre. ...to make things short its the image being criticized..when the image is bigger than the musician
Somebody should do a dubstep remix of this superb opus.

listen real close to JP at 4:29-4:34. nothing earth shatteringly complex, just some simple interval work there on his way to the octave. it's very few notes played but it's done so well with the feedback.
resonance!

@DegraDeadlock This is where people misunderstand dream theater. They don't play fast for the sake of playing fast, like blind guardian or children of bodom or even dragonforce. They play fast because they can, and they don't do it everytime - they do it when the time is right. This is music at its best.

@xXSTFDXx I think he was agreeing with you, but just saying that its okay to listen to music thats not as complex... I think Id hafta agree with him there. If I only listened to bands that were as talented muscially as Dream Theater Id only have 5 artists on my iTunes instead of 105... or 104 rather, since I'm deleting Metallica in like two minutes.

@blavaburnulots My itunes consists almost entirely progressive metal, with bands near the same magnitude as Dream Theater. I can't listen to anything else. Progressive metal is the pinnacle of music. But yeah, I only have 14 artists in my itunes, 12 are progressive metal bands. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Except with more awesome progressive metal bands of course.

@Virus940 I don't mind simplicity in music. I have artists ranging from The Kinks, to Spock's Beard. Dream Theater to Megadeth (and all the side projects and solo careers of the various members of both bands). A friend of mine listens to Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold obsessively, and despite how much I hate both bands, one or two songs have grown on me. All of my favorites are prog bands, but theres more out there. I guess thats the point of my long winded message.

@Virus940 I know this is a bit late. But, out of curiosity, what are the bands in your iTunes? I may be tempted to look some of them up, if they are as you say.
blavaburnulots 1 year ago
@blavaburnulots BTBAM, Protest the Hero, Periphery, Cynic, Fuge, Keith Merrow, Tesseract, Orbs, Dream Theater of course, Meshuggah (they're very much an acquired taste). Those are all the prog bands I listen to. Then I have a few songs from All That Remains and As I Lay Dying.
Virus940 1 year ago
@Virus940 I'll look into them then thanks. Though I already have listened to BTBAM before and can say I probably will not like them. But, if you like prog bands of the same magnitude (or close to it) as DT and can tolerate some more mellow music, then you should look into Gentle Giant or Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. I'm also surprised that Transatlantic is not on that list.
blavaburnulots 1 year ago
@blavaburnulots Yeah I like some mellow stuff. But I prefer things a little heavier.
Virus940 1 year ago
@Virus940 I would say the same, but there are times when heavier music manages to only annoy me and I switch over to more mellow stuff, and the same goes vice versa when mellow stuff annoys me. My listening pattern is random and my iTunes library very diverse.

@ZenithXUrizen I've never heard them live. I don't really care either, I'm not a huge fan of them. I just listen to a few of their songs once in a while.

@xXSTFDXx Eh, I see your point and agree with it to an extent but you really can't bundle these guys in with BG, CoB or DF - they're completely different bands. Power metal is pretty difficult to compare to progressive metal in the grand scheme of things.
Maybe something like Symphony X would be a better comparison (a nice middle ground between the genres).

@xXSTFDXx true. I just like to tell people to listen to vacant, space-dye vest, goodnight kiss etc. and tell me again that dream theater just play as fast as they can a bunch all the time. And I wouldn't put it like "they play fast because they can" I'd put it more like they "play fast when it is necessary to create a certain vibe just like they play slow, melodically or, percussively etc. to create different feelings" They are well rounded performers/composers.

@xXSTFDXx Did you just say Blind Guardian plays fast for the sake of playing fast? I just saw them last night and they had one of the best slower groves I have heard. Besides the fact that Andre, the lead guitarist, was playing rather slow solos compared to most other solos.... These people...

@hide21998 There's a difference between between playing fast -only- and playing fast - for the sake of playing fast-. Don't get me wrong dude, I absolutely love CoB, for example, but I still am able to admit that they do play for the sake of playing fast a lot of the times. Then again, I don't see any problem at all with playing fast just for the hell of it, I love fast-paced metal. It's just that people for some reason use it against dream theater. Like they're to blame for being so skilled.

@ackohler There are people who would say the same about lady gaga and akon. I'm sorry my man, but compared to DT and many other bands, yes, hoon is a mediocre musician. Compared to 50 cent he is a genius.

@xXSTFDXx only a dumb fuck would compare two whole different genres (metal and rap - 50 cent). you can't compare two people from two different genres. it's un-fuckin heard of

@xXSTFDXx i respect what you are saying and agree accept with your claim of 'mediocre' musicians...I am a life long theater fan so dont mistake POV as spam or hate..but if music is based on who is a better skilled musician than i suppose your comment is right...Its clear the 2 you mention could never put together anything half as complex/incredible as theater do but that doesnt make them mediocre. ...to make things short its the image being criticized..when the image is bigger than the musician
