In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm returning to the music of Dream Theater to celebrate the return of Mike Portnoy to the band. I ran a poll on KZbin recently, and In The Name of God was the one chosen by our KZbin fans. So, I'm listening to this one for the first time...and it's a powerful and provacative song. I hope you enjoy the ride!

Rule of thumb with DT: usually when you hear a double lead guitar track during an instrumental section is actually a guitar/keyboard unison.

Fun fact 8:35. If you listen closely you can hear morse code being tapped. The translation is "eat my ass and balls" a reference to an in-joke from the Live Scenes From a Memory DVD commentary. When releasing ToT they told fans there was a secret. Someone jokingly said "something is probably in morse code". The discovery wasn't made until MONTHS after the release of the album.

I'm really sad to see that many people who don't like DT usually have the idea that "it's just a band of virtuoso musicians who play complicated music". Man, it's much more than that, the lyrics are fantastic, the emotion that these guys manage to convey in their sound is unparalleled, it's not just about technique. That's why it's one of my favorite bands.

I think DT's lyrics can be a little hokey when it comes to the more fictional/storytelling type of stuff imo. (Even Met 2 is a little cheesy at parts), But this album, Six Degrees, Awake, I&W and even DToE have some beautiful and carfeully crafted commentaries and lyircal concepts that have real meaning to them.

"Doing things in the name of god should ony be reserved for breaking cycles of violence, not starting them". I've never been religious but that was some powerful and moving stuff. I've felt the same way but never heard it put quite so elgantly and poingantly as that. Religion has always had the capacity for beatiful acts of kindness, generosity and humanity. It is just a shame that it is so rarely seen throughout history and in the modern day.

As a recommendation, there's this Japanese band that covered Dream Theatre's Dance of Eternity, except they replaced Jordan's keyboard with a violin, and it works so well, they're called Unlucky Morpheus.

I remember when I first heard this song, the theme was intellectual and philosophical in nature, because I lived in a peaceful country. Now, the unthinkable has happened : it's become real... now we have beheadings, car attacks, throat slit, knife attacks, murders, and massacres like the Bataclan attack, all in the name of their god. These people hate us, and there's no fixing it. It's tragic. If you can kill in the name of a peaceful book like the Bible, imagine what you can do in the name of a hate filled book... I also think that faith is part of the human experience, and if you take away traditional religions, people will create new beliefs to be militant about. New religions. Like ecology for example, some people are peaceful about it, some people become part of a death cult that wants the destruction of mankind, just like with the old religions. Some people always find a reason to hate humanity and to be violent.

What I do have a problem with, is those who use it as a way to hold power over people for their own gains/ego. Marillion put a modern twist on it with "The new kings" if religion doesn't work then try money!

This is one of my absolute favorite Dream Theater songs. It's powerful both musically and lyrically. Really glad you caught the Battle Hymn of the Republic. It's mixed pretty low but is such an awesome choice in that finale. When the transition to the main theme comes back at 13:10, it's like a mix of anguish of those who suffer from these acts (the lead melody line) and epic grandeur in the minds of the people doing these things (the powerful chords and open soundscape behind the melody). Thanks for listening to it.

As a religious man, that line does following faith lead us to violence also hit me hard. I often ponder the philosophical questions and it all spirals down to subjective doctrines vs objective personal god and vice versa, subjective personal god vs objective doctrines. I love the way DT uses octave in the first song “as I am” and last song of the album, hinting that full circle? It’s good to hear the song especially hearing so many warfares now days.

Shame it's not the live version but I'm glad you decided to check out this fantastic epic. Loving that copy of Terminal Velocity in the background.

This album is a complete masterpiece. Best DT album and top 20 albums in Metal history in my opinion! It's even more incredible when you know that it was made in just 3 weeks, but these geniuses were in their prime!

I don't know why this album grabs my attention and every DT album after it doesn't, but that's what happens. So many catchy riffs and memorable hooks on this record. I think the riff at 3:52 is one of the coolest DT moments.

You need to watch the Live at Budokan version. They actually show images of Jim Jones and all the 900 plus committed suicide there, Branch Davidians, Warren Jeffs, and the cult that committed suicide in 1997 when Hale Bopp comet came through. It was the encore and was 15 minutes of magnificence.

Still watching this, but wanted to confirm that John's guitar is tuned down to C standard for this track. In the interest of completion, for each track on the album: As I Am - C Standard This Dying Soul - Standard tuning, but on a 7-string Endless Sacrifice - D Standard Honor Thy Father - C Standard Vacant - N/A Stream of Consciousness - Eb Standard In the Name of God - C Standard Also, a fun fact on the making of the album is that that final F that Jordan plays in this track he plays with his nose, lol. You get to see that on the behind the scenes, making-of documentary.

I didn't really gave this album a chance after hearing this is too heavy, but I gave it a shot about two weeks ago, and I instantly regretted not giving it a chance earlier...😢😢😢...the lyrics might not relate..but god, the music and melody just hits me in every way possible, like it decrypts all the complicated feelings inside of me...

Doug, you've heard enough metal by now to where you should recognize Phrygian major when you hear it lol
@shanebilowitz7261
@shanebilowitz7261 10 ай бұрын
I think the reason why you keep hearing it as the dominant of Fmi is because you're still thinking of functional harmony. This is a mainly modal piece. For example, if a piece was in mixolydian, it would be weird to say "man, they're just hanging out on the dominant the whole time. When is it going to resolve back to the one?" Phygian major is also called Phrygian dominant because it's the 5th mode if harmonic minor. (That's where the augmented second comes from between the b2 and the major 3rd). So it's like the parallel mode of C mixolydian, in relation to F major/minor.
