Dream Theater Causes Pure Climax [Dream Theater - The Glass Prison REACTION!]

[@weabooreacts9853]

I loved this...

[@TheBlackQueen]

This is the first of 5 songs in Mike Portnoy's 12 Step Suite which deals with the 12 steps in Alcoholics Anonymous, which he had gone through just a few years prior. The Glass Prison This Dying Soul The Root Of All Evil Repentance The Shattered Fortress All are from different albums but they continue the suite and often feature some similar melodies between each other to connect it all together. I'd highly recommend listening to the rest of the suite!

Jajjaqur Paso ? Te cerraron El canal?

[@jima6545]

Definitely worth a full album reaction

[@Psyggie]

Ah yes! In case no one explained. This is the first song of several consecutive songs called the 12 Step Suite. The original drummer, Mike Portnoy, suffered from alcoholism and these songs are about his personal experience with it in going through the 12 step program. POWERUL emotional stuff and insanely top notch musicianship! The songs are .. The Mirror The Glass Prison This Dying Soul The Root of All Evil Repentance The Shattered Fortress.

6:51 one of my favorite transitions ever

[@leddygee1896]

I've literally listened to this song thousands of times, and It still floors me!!

[@alanalanis2257]

I've seen Dream Theater about 20 times since 1993. I met the band three times. Every single time it was an out of body experience!!

[@Psyggie]

I became a fan in 2000! Seen them live 13 times. Love all of their work with both drummers, and yes, every show is out of body! Saw them in Austin a few months ago first time since the pandemic. That was special getting to see Count of Tuscany live for my first time!

[@alanalanis2257]

@@Psyggie Actually, I saw them for the last time in Austin back in 2019. I just don't want to take a chance with covid. I was sad that I wouldn't be seeing them because I would always see them when they come to Austin and San Antonio.

[@Marco-n9l]

What was your fav tour? Mine was 2002

[@zdoggzero6595]

My favorite dream theater song, pure raw power start to finish

[@kevinhummel6901]

Pure, raw power on all levels. The fact that you can tune into any of the 5 of them and take something moving out it is the best part. The lyrics are inspirational. One of my 3 favorite DT songs(along with Scarred and ACOS).

[@dalenewberry4610]

Damn I forgot how fucking good this song is 🤘😆🤘

[@erklarvideosmathe2416]

12:25 It was that moment that we knew he was DONE

[@dalenewberry4610]

Man this is a brutal song. Love this band.

[@alanalanis2257]

They recently won a Grammy for best metal performance with their song called The Alien from their latest album. Please check out that song as well as their latest 20 minute epic called A View From the Top of the World. These are beyond legendary epics.

[@darrenlucas7362]

Should’ve won that back 2 decades ago

[@alanalanis2257]

@@darrenlucas7362 I agree!! No one comes close to DTs musical genius.

[@darrenlucas7362]

@@alanalanis2257 yes sir. Shame not more people realize it.

[@Brandonmtlhd]

Yeah, this song is a great example of the fact that while DT has a lot of prog influences, they are also fundamentally a metal band. Petrucci used his 7 string on this one for extra beefiness!

[@noneofyourbusiness3288]

Which is why the genre is called prog-metal xD

[@alistairleventhal3662]

The minute of silence at the end was brilliant

[@Bagmanovich]

'The Twelve Steps' is the greatest prog metal concept ever. Five albums over nine years. Absolutely awesome. Weaboo needs to run through the rest of the suite...

[@robertchristian9361]

Welcome to the world of Dream Theater. I’ve been a fan since the start. A speechless reaction is perfect. Illumination Theory should be next in my opinion. When you were reacting and suddenly you realized that they pulled you in….. Um that’s DT

[@alanalanis2257]

Best reaction ever!!!! Literally speechless!!😱

[@forentertainment3259]

If you ever do see them live, you absolutely gotta remember earplugs, they’re loud as shit

[@jeffwombold9167]

Welcome to Dream Theater. Your reaction at the end is exactly how I feel when I try to catch a guitar part by them. Incredible..

[@noahculp9900]

YES. Please listen to the rest of the album. It's fantastic.

[@bradsteed6833]

This be the first song in the Twelve Steps Suite MP wrote about his addiction recovery. Now you must do the whole thing.

[@JorgeCanela]

You're asking how they create stuff like this? Easy. Each one of the instrumentalists in the band are world class players (and world class musicians as well) and they spend their days practicing their instruments and experimenting with a shit load of different concepts (on an instrumental, compositional and production level). Then they get together and sum all those skills and concepts. That creates all the freaky shit you hear (which after some time becomes less and less freaky, because of habit).

[@thepetruccinator6318]

So glad that you enjoyed this one! I remember your reaction to Awake from back in the day, wish that was still up on KZbin. If you’re interested in more DT I would recommend literally any of their songs.

[@ryanwall6149]

Dude i remember seeing your Pink Floyd animals reaction when i was in high school, haven’t seen a vid in a while but now im done with college and you reacted to my favorite song by my favorite band, crazy!

[@Capsicle2099]

Yes! The Glass Prison is a wonderful song, one of my favorites from DT, off my favorite album by DT. You gotta take some time and regroup before you listen to another Dream Theater song though.

[@michaelstechishin8254]

Best reaction I've ever seen to this song 😂

[@BlindSniperz]

You must see them live. Absolutely astonishing band \m/

[@cunjoz]

heh astonishing heh

[@SpeedWarrior93]

I've seen them twice. Astonishing Tour and Distance Over Time Tour

[@fredlong6984]

What a great reaction !! You should give Panic Attack a try next .. although not on the same album

[@princesssweepzzt5502]

1 Video a day is honestly a lot! Don't feel like you have to push yourself to do more, your videos are always awesome Weeby!

[@lancekidwell5729]

Lol you had me at “fuck no”.

[@panthrino4647]

"chocklat nipple"......bruh, lol

[@ernestoalvarez7030]

Great reaction. thanks.

[@JCGoKingsGo]

If you like these guys for their musical abilities, check out their side project Liquid Tension Experiment - specifically Acid Rain live

[@lparksession]

Pretty sure you heard this back in the day, I’m glad you forgot lol it really is like life changing. You can’t go back. Innocence faded. Btw check out Innocence Faded, it’s got one of the greatest guitar solo endings ever.

[@Brandonmtlhd]

I thought I was the only one that had it in my head that he did an album reaction to 6 degrees. But it's been awhile, so some repeats are bound to happen.

[@bryanthompson8814]

Great video. They are awesome live. I saw them in 2019 and this past March. Phenomenal!

[@rtrooperw8115]

So glad to see you back and doing DT!🙏🏻🤙🏻

[@RareHarmony]

A VERY deep rabbit hole. Please do more. :)

[@Michael.h.a]

Bro you need more Dream Theater, Octavarium is the next master piece for your ears.

[@ejRecording]

He’s done a ton of DT

[@dalenewberry4610]

In fact Dream Theater is the last band I saw ha ha ha just this past February

[@マシュードーラン]

I can’t believe you haven’t reacted to this yet! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@le7516]

Weaboo, you are awesome!! Don't succumb to the pressure!! If people don't like it then can go somewhere else!! Rock on!!

[@newyorksbeerreviews1280]

I feel like we are hearing this in mono because there are parts of singing left out. I know they play around with the panning of their instruments and vocals. Other than that, love the review and I always loved DT!

[@rumasai]

I don't know if you've done it at this point, but I would love it if you reacted to Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. It's one of my favorite pieces of music ever. Edit: after a second listen, yes, this song is from the album Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. It's a two disc album, and the second disc of the album is the concept half of the album, and where the the namesake comes from. It's eight songs, but one complete piece of music, and lasts 42 minutes. I can't praise it enough, and I hope you check it out.
