Pretender - James Labrie

[kiko00kornejo]

tired to see dream theater pics!!! hey!!! you suck!!! this is a jame's proyect!! so give him some credit ok?? this is not dream theater !!! so were is marco??? I insist give them some credit!!!

[oremococ]

Marco rules!!!!!!!!! \m/

[wlaycook]

This is great. Why is it that all of the DT members' solo projects have been consistently better than anything the band itself has put out in the last 5 years?

[brittneystevenson]

Thumbs up if you knew this song without the help of Gunkata.

[sivilsantos]

Nossa a musica é muito boa, mas o cara que postou o video é um mané porque essa musica não é do Dream theater!!

[MrGuitarMadness95]

mOTHERFUCKER! 

[lu5tic]

are you dumb? this isnt john petrucci playing .. it's marco sfogli , its NOT dream theatre,  MARCO SFOGLI > GUITAR

[idangin2007]

Why didn't you purchased Video Edit Magic?!?! ;)

I really like this song :)

[OliverMazur]

Marco Sfogli is an astounding guitarist...damn. makes me wanna buy a 7-string

[AdamDallas]

LOL at petrucci at the end photo!

[AdamDallas]

@AdamDallas 2 Before end sorry!

[matthieu71]

It's james labrie band man, not dream theater, think to show sfogli pictures next time for example ;)

[Sirist10]

joder mike mangini + james labrie = awesome

[Xonipher]

Unlike most people, this song brought me to Gunkata. 

[P0kGuide]

never watched a 360p clip sounded this well

[Fluffypopcicle]

1:48 rofl at the dethklok t-shirt.

[xDrakengardx]

God bless Marco Sfogli :P

[081908009999]

now THIS is music ! amirite?

[jackmarsilva]

My preferred song from this album...

[Verixus113]

I can't help but epic headbang to the intro for this.

[hereg2007]

awsome solo!

[NaXoth]

The Gunkata video from Equilibrium BROUGHT ME HERE :)

[bakkersyx]

marco kick petruccis ass ..but both are great jajaja

[jvbalai]

correct me if im wrong but the pictures dont do justice to the guitarist in this project .

Its Marco Sfogli who is playing the guitar.

He is even as good as John Petruccci .

That said. Go Marco go You kick as !!!!!

[ginjeeimano]

nice pic collection man..i have a same video like you..but for TDOE (:

[rafauleciaelcarpio]

can you put a marco sfogli foto?

[JustaEropeanGuy]

fav part 2:46

[ZrazorRozenstrauch]

I loop this song whenever I play Call of Duty.

[stevanroth]

Vocals don't work.

[Hunkyfish20]

love the harmonic bit at the end

[MoonknightX9]

Can't believe I'm listening to dream theater OO kindoff .

[TheJhOnNy1992]

divine guitar solo O.<!!

[PavleDiBari8]

This is a very good song. Hope to listen to the new album soon..

[blitzkriegmeric]

It's not dream theater you mother fucker idiot cock sucker It is only james labrie marco sfogli (guitar) and different guys on the other instruments

[wallytalivan]

this song is in Drop C right?

[ayekantufe27]

@wallytalivan no. is a seven string guitar ( one additional string on B )

[kevintje82onboard]

Cool, i always knew JLB didnt need Dream Theater to be good. James: if they keep bugging you, pls tell them to F*ck off and go solo

[Coldmystery]

@kevintje82onboard I think for a time they needed each other, I would be sad if JLB went solo and DT went instrumental but I believe both could.

[kevintje82onboard]

@Coldmystery haha, didnt mean or hope both ways, just as a reaction to all the ridiculous JLB critisism wich goes on lately

[BurzumiyaMusic]

I might just be picky, but that guitar solo sounded weird, maybe because it is not that Petrucci tone...

[88stockmj]

@BurzumiyaMusic isn't it marco sfogli? Its a pretty sick sounding one imo..

[Trumavarium]

This is not Dream Theater. ^^ This is James LaBrie's "band".

[ComfortablyNumbed]

What's with the petrucci fanboy-ism?

He doesn't even play on this song

[BillyJimmyBobbyTimmy]

@ComfortablyNumbed Anytime is a good time to be a Petrucci fan! Hell I think Marco even uses his guitars sometimes lol.

[MaxBGuitar]

Marco Sfogli!

[pathetik]

Does anyone know who player drums in this song? Is it Portnoy?

[gnrcr]

I downloaded "Never Enough" by DT, and instead got this !!!!! I actually enjoyed it, then I got the Octavarium album, and it all became a mess, lol.

[AlexZamora1234]

haha lol me to

[celedeox54]

saame haha limewire ftw XD

[fightfirewithfire333]

you got this song instead?! you lucky s.o.b i cant find it at ALL!!

[MulletMan3108]

@gnrcr that is the EXACT same thing that happened to me- off of limewire yeah?

[darchitecht]

it's Marco Sfogli on guitar, not Petrucci

[celedeox54]

wow i never knew it was marco on guitar ...that explains why it soounds so good lol

[Metalpupett]

1:03 Jajaja

Btw, this is a Kick ass Song!!!

[MANTRUE69]

I Like The Riffs Of This Album...

[rickymp4]

I love this song, but did not know that was not the DT, but I found the guitar with more weight ... very good work of this Labrie ...

[Ratbeenobokuto]

Good song, glad it's on here. But how come you put up DT pictures? Don't get me wrong, they're one of my favorite bands ever, but it might give people who don't actually know the impression that it's John Petrucci playing rather than Marco Sfogli.

[umustdv81]

The guitar solo is the best part of this song.

[c4crookedrider]

Where do I find this and download it for free?

[gorkanshveil]

wait, is this dream theater? if it is, what album? :S

[leonel1993]

@gorkanshveil

No, it is from one of James Labrie solo albums.

[R0ADKILL2864]

It's off of James Labrie's 3rd solo album Elements Of Persuasion

[elkrloevh]

this song is of James Labrie of the album Elements of Persuasion

[6sodom6boy6]

0:01 to 5:34 = AWESOME

[faccdcazz]

no petrucci..but Marco Sfoglia..

[nyqn2]

めっちゃかっこいい！！！！！！

[Faizerino]

I only went to listen to this song because this was inserted in an epic Gunkata vid.

[lunar05]

Yep same here it was a good song put to Equilibrium.

[brudda985]

Watched the same vid. Awesome.

[jxvwp]

@Faizerino

Same here.

[smilesmilesmilehead]

@Faizerino Agreed.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@Faizerino

i only came because of marco sfogli and his awesome guitar solo that he posted.

[DUTCHMASTER67]

@Faizerino same here lol

[SaiChester]

hmm... i dont really like this song a lot... still, james rocks

[Jhey172]

Yeah..I don't like this song that much either...But The Solo is Awesome

[newfrontiers]

Not quite the best vocal performance I've ever heard from LaBrie- that would be his work with Ayreon on "The Human Equation"- but not bad either. And that riff is amazing!

[elenarolo]

gran temazo, un gran trallazo, gran voz

[BlashyrkhPwns]

of cource it's not Dream Theater

omg.....

I just asked if Petrucci and Portnoy are still in Dream Theater.

OMG YOU PEOPLE

[MrTamaMan]

0:53 is cool! except thats not what rudess looks like... is that moores?

[KazeReload]

No it's Rudess, he used to have long haircut and this strange haircut xD he looked so ugly.. check the old live performances like erotomania

[consciousnessjam]

you people UNDERSTAND that it's not dream theater, it's James LaBrie's solo project, toxickissduo is right, that's the line up.

[BlashyrkhPwns]

Mike Portnoy and John Petruci are not anymore in the band??

sh1t.... I'm a little lost,if someone is willing give me an answer :D

[toxickissduo]

Elements of Persuasion is such an amazing album!!

[Lifterstriker]

isnt the band basically dream theater? or are there any other musicians that arent in dream theater that are in this?

[toxickissduo]

James Labrie - Vocals

Matt Guillory - Keyboard/Piano/Add. Guitars

Marco Sfogli - Guitars

Bryan Beller - Bass

Mike Mangini - Drums

[Lifterstriker]

o so no John Petrucci? aw

[Gothxha]

And no Mike Portnoy. :>

[DrVelvetProductions]

Some douchefuck keeps titling numerous LaBrie songs on file sharing sites with Dream Theater song's titles.

This happened to me with:

The Root of All Evil (Crucify)

Panic Attack (Undecided)

Never Enough (Pretender)

[metalgirl2]

that happened to me years ago and I never got around to finding the REAL song until now :P

[Gurudorn]

maybe you're a douchefuck for downloading them, too?

[DudeHuge]

Don't be a hypocrite faggot

[davesempai]

i wonder if he bought his copy of Video Edit Magic?

[MetalMilovid]

I always thought this was "Never enough". Good to know it's LaBrie's!!!

[Hayacafrita]

Yeah, it's a pitty to admit that though he's DT's voices he's always been eclipsed by the band... wish they gave him more room in DT's music.

[mynameistheman12345]

This is fucking awesome.

[xnexenx]

and it's not a sing of dream theater

this song is from james labrie's solo album

[xnexenx]

no all guitars were played by marco sfogli

[Robotzoid]

is it john petrucci the solo?

[xXHechizoXx]

ooooooooooo00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o­00o0o0o0o! jajaja, nice song,

[8888sam]

he has such a annoying voice!!!!!

[balukaaaa91]

first, try to write properly, than start being an asshole...

[FunkMasterGodOfRock2]

I agree with you on half the point but fuck! Must you attack spelling like every other idiot on youtube that can't comprehend wit?!

[thecrzyazndrummer912]

looks like you need some help yourself my friend.

[8fingerfrenzy]

then why are you listening?

[GatorMortis]

never mind metal or not metal

this song is just great :D

[dmnxCGi]

nice, 3:05 that's andy timmons' lick right there

[pekisi]

This song rocks...

as LTE do to..

this songs remembers me to starcraft...

amazing game

[NemesisMLT89]

I agree with TheKillerAngel

James LaBrie isn't really known in the metal scene. He's just known in the Prog spectrum of metal

[pheonixms777]

love this song BALLSY RIFF!!!

[VincentVangoria]

I love this song... Dream Theater should cover James' music sometimes!

[Hayacafrita]

That would be against Portnoy's overcontrol homeostasis

[FoxtronInk]

This song is not from Dream Theater guys!!!! Wrong Information.....

This is JAmes LaBrie with his own band!!not dream theater......Missinformation is not good .

[FunkMasterGodOfRock2]

Why is the drummer immitating Mad Mike then? James' doing?

[kingofloss86]

I loved the picture with the ayreon staff.

The human eqation is killer, by the way!

[TheKillerAngel]

He's not a "very famous celebrity." His band is well known among the metal community but that hardly makes him a celebrity.

[Ktulu88]

For me he is a celebrity... lol

[Lureahawk]

All i can say if you cant find the song cuz you cant find the title then just down it from youtube.

[Lureahawk]

I lookt up the lyrics on the net and all i can find is "JAMES LABRIE - PRETENDER" I found no other group with there lyrics online that where from this song.

[HammerOfPink]

I can tell the difference, when it's Dream Theater and when it's not. I would've sensed something fishy if I had ever gotten the "false" Octavarium. But I didn't.

Both are great though. :)

[nuebom]

when my friend gave me this song, the title said: "never enough - dream theater - octavarium"

thanks for revealing the truth... jejejeje

[Lureahawk]

WRONG, this is the start of the "Never enough" song:

"I never wanted to become someone like him so secure. Content to live each day just like the last. I was sure I knew that."

[thedonpetrucci]

That is actually how the title song "ocvtavarium" begins.

[joeldoer]

same thing happened to me, now i finally know the truth

[Kimeilos]

Time to start buying your albums! :o

[SRNF]

good singing fuckin amazing singing i should say

[vampirobrm]

omggg this song remember me the 2005, great song!!!

[Octavarium1984]

This is solo album from James Labrie. However there was leaked Dream Theater album (Octavarium) on torrents but it was actually Labrie`s elements of persuasion. There were only 8 songs chosen to fit Octavarium and renamed. People thought it is Octavarium since they heard James voice.

[mattpaull2]

this is not dream theater

[adcleon]

John Petrucci play's the guitar in this song?

[StaFershka]

no, it's an italian named marco sfolgi

[LOSKAU]

thank you so very very much

i thought this song was played by dream theater

[viperkicka]

hey if you like this song look up Gunkata

its awesome

[Tatukis]

This song is from "elemets of persuation" of James LaBrie.

[ian316497]

i had that same problem

i downloaded what i thought was octavarium n i got this album, try find another site to get it from

[entershikari21]

well i finally bought it lol. though i dont understand why they've been labelled with those names..never mind, i finally found the songs i wanted lol

[YtseJammer69]

Its because songs from this album were incorrectly named on the internet and limewire as songs from Dream Theater's "Octavarium".

the leaked version of Octavarium was actually Drained by JLB.

[FoxtronInk]

Buy music from stores, this way you won't get slammed and you help the artist...if you download music the artist only gets a very small percentage of the sale.

[entershikari21]

can i ask what has this got to do with DT? cos when i downloaded "never enough" from DT, it was this song..and it also happened with "the root of all evil". i mean, i like the songs, but now i don't know the real name! any help¿

[VulpeRenard]

That explains why so many Youtube videos incorrectly label this song as Never Enough.

[FoxtronInk]

Of course....ignorant people states things withour research or fundamentals....tooo bad but you are right!!!!

[elvish85]

fuckin love the song, not so much the vid

so i just play it and play games lol

[LadyDuoMaxwell]

Awesome song!

[FoxtronInk]

so what  who cares?

[xnexenx]

I don't understand why did you put dt's pictures??? this song is from james' album

[SANTELMO2008]

Yeah los vi las dos veces que han estado en Colombia.

[katrinaylonen]

I really LIKE this song!

I listen it everyday!!! :P

LaBrie is my idol in music!

Go, James!!!

[FoxtronInk]

yousuck!!!!

[Denitrifikat]

I think this song has the gratest solo on the CD...this and 'Crucify'...and 'Slightly Out of Reach'. 0(^.^ )0 0( '.')0

[Emanusmell]

Why show a bunch of pictures of dream theater?

Its just the singer and someone using petrruci's model.

[lafree]

This song is not by Dream Theater! This is from James LaBrie's solo album 'Elements of Persuasion'

[rojosj]

thanks man! i need that information

[lafree]

You're welcome! lol
