The idea behind the project is to collaborate online to record these covers.

Although some good friends of mine form the core of the project, the band won't necessarily be the same for every song. We will have guests from around the world participating, mostly on vocals though, at our discretion.

How does it work?

Each guy in the band records their parts (audio tracks and video) at home or at a local studio and sends them to me.

I then put the audio together and mix it. This has been a great exercise for me (mixing). I learn the concept behind the sound of my favorite albums and try a whole bunch of cool techniques attempting to replicate it closely.

I AB my mix with the original song but don't get too crazy about it. It's difficult to get the sound exactly right due to a number of variables. When I get it close enough I stop comparing the two and just get it to sound good (hopefully) from there.

When the final stereo audio track is done I take it to a video editing software and sync everyone's videos to it. After a bit of editing and level/color correction it's ready for YouTube. :)

[Sam Portnoy]

I think the vocalist is better than Labrie....

[BeningDread22]

This cover is better than the original song. Very good job

[JaflooganVonStroodle]

This man[vocalist] is exactly what Dream Theater's SHOULD sound like. I never liked LaBrie -- he always seemed off in his sound, this dude is perfect.

[Giuseppe Taccogna]

chi sono i 124 pazzi che non hanno messo mi piace???? semplicemente perfetta!!!

[DrTacoPHD665]

I absolutely love the bass solo at 5:56

[Marco Marinelli]

Ladies and gentlemen I give you the next Dream Theater's singer!!

[Tanzid Sultan]

As a matter of fact, I do. You must be some kind of ignorant fucking douchebag. I've come across several obdurate sorry-ass motherfuckers like you in the past!

[jpcastro3135]

wow,amazing.

[Sam Portnoy]

ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER

DO YOU SPEAK IT

[Tanzid Sultan]

[aspasiz]

I am speechless
