Dream Theater - Barstool Warrior live Bratislava Incheba Expo Arena 30.10.2024

James sounds very good here and Mike is playing it much better now!

[@DTArchive]

5:30 Same crap as usual from James

[@gianfrixmg]

​@@DTArchiveHe sounds pretty much in tune on that part tbh. His tone and technique may be debatable, but he sounds a bit more "stable" than recent years and much better than videos from last year's Dreamsonic tour. You can't expect 1992 level performances from him anymore.

[@DTArchive]

@@gianfrixmg He's flat all throughout that passage. No one is expecting him to rise to his stature in the early 90s, but I don't see any basis for claiming he sounds "very good" either. If he got better just recently, it would only be a trivial improvement, and not enough to justify his place in the band after the last 10 years of doggerel.

[@gianfrixmg]

@@DTArchive If you mean "flat" as in pitch, not that much. If you mean "flat" as in tone, you may be right but that's how he approaches high notes now. I know you had/have kind of a personal dislike towards JLB and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise if you don't like how he sings now. I'm just saying I was expecting much worse this year considering the "Evening With" format they are doing again this tour and the disastrous singing of last year. If there's one song I'm not liking how he sings now is Metropolis. This one is good.

​@@DTArchive wtf!!! The guy is getting older. What dont you people understand..

[@OddVenture7]

So much emotional on the solo... the melody 😭❤️❤️❤️

[@Oyhus]

It's so great to hear that James is singing better! Fantastic upload :)

[@leandrocse]

I was one that complained a lot, now I really should admit that it's good, great that my concert it will be later in November

[@gianfrixmg]

@@Oyhus He seems on a roll. He sounded quite good in Milan and Rome too. The only blunder seemed to be London. Let's hope he can last the whole tour!

[@robertomckelligan6867]

A great performance!!

[@talobassprog]

whens is the alien by portnoy ? XD

[@davidgradinaru7313]

Maybe he is still learning it

[@captaindeadeye788]

James has apparently said he doesn't like singing the song that much and that's why they didn't bother with it for this tour, but I hope we get to see portnoy try to tackle it in the future

[@OddVenture7]

Nice❤

[@sahilplaysguitar2784]

Is that only me who heard sudden slowdown of song around 2:30?

[@Pleva_Peter]

Hey @Fred concerts - do you have more videos from DT´s show in Bratislava? I would like to see them all. If you don´t want to upload them on YT you can upload somewhere else and I can dowload them! Amazing quality, for me it´s like be back in Incheba. I was in 1st row 1-2m on your left.. /,,/ Ahoj, máš nejaké ďalšie videá z tohto koncertu? Rád by som videl všetko čo si natočil. Možno by si mohol poslať odkaz na stiahnutie. Tiež som bol v prvej rade asi tak 1-2m po tvojej ľavej strane. Toto video ma vrátilo nazad do Incheby.. /,,/

[@sensitivity7207]

I was crossing my fingers for James and he finally sounds good ;)

[@vaughanjagger396]

Are you sure??

[@sensitivity7207]

@ yes I am and I am glad that people who has to complain - just like you are not a part of my life.

[@vaughanjagger396]

Why does MP need 2 drum kits? Just asking for a friend

[@pacechcz]

so that everyone notice

[@r.a.fiallos234]

For the same reason Mangini uses a huge square frame with octobans and cymbals way up high-they go to 11!

[@ishikanura5420]

because that is their characteristic and their need to use their type of drum kit

[@hardiansyahnotosaputro5408]

I don't like DT with Mangini sounds, the fill in an accent was like arcade game, to much snare, drum trigger and E-drums sounds, i like the natural accent fill in at DT songs like Portnoy did, he used fill in with synchronized accent sounds of stacks, splash, hihat , tom, china and octoban

[@sebat.s]

Wkwkwk of course fix , you are nothing knowledge about drum... I'm drummer, and I know who the real Goat broh 😂

[@allghilliedup21]

You can actually hear the bass properly! Hurrah!!!

[@tannerlevendoski5237]

still waiting for MP to play a MM song just like the record, dont think he can..

[@JK-zo4px]

Na und ?

[@roguerecordmusic]

@@JK-zo4px so what? People were all over Mangini if he changed anything. So why not the same expiation for MP?

[@tylerbailey9329]

Portnoy literally never plays anything like the record. He's very transparent about this.

[@zunus]

Maybe it's because he's not trying to play it like the actual record. He is playing it in his own style. Just like Mangini played various classical parts in his own style, which is fine. No need to make unnecessary comparisons.

[@harvester_of_sorrow96]

@@roguerecordmusic Portnoy improvises a lot, also with his own songs. He has been doing this since forever, it's his favorable style to play like he feels in the moment. Nothing wrong with that.

[@JoseAlves-ig1jx]

Labrie cantando melhor, mas ainda semitona em algumas frases

[@DakemNggitar]

Snare sound, mp = tash .. mm = desh

[@rafihardiyanto1828]

Lebih renyah dan krispi

[@sebat.s]

Tapi lebih ceroboh... Harusnya Portnoy men tuning drum set... Mangini yg eksekusi

[@safeemaarif9802]

Mr Portnoy is so prog
