[@Tonatiuth]

I just cant understand the amount of data stored in Myung's memory, I mean, at least Jordan has his tablet but Myung only has his memory and he effortlessly plays like a god. He and Petrucci are far beyond our reality

[@rod-abreu]

That's mostly mechanical memory that comes into place when you play a lot, and rehearse a lot, and DT jam and rehearse a lot together before the gigs. Real memory just needs to be accessed when/if you commit a mistake and need to recover fastly, but in this case, the impressive part is that DT basically do not commit mistakes while playing, they are monsters.

[@user-ox4zl1in4l]

Applicature Memory (memory of hands)

[@jamestom2510]

And doesnt that Yamaha Sound amazing....... Not sure if goign the musicman was a good idea, Man this bass is in the pocket

[@UnclePhil1112]

Really goes to show you, muscle memory is a real thing

[@thomas_the_cat]

its muscle memory.... i do gigs part-time (1-3 times a year) but almost never misses to play at home for at least 30-minutes daily, and i can probably play a couple of albums worth of songs by memory... so what more for a professional full-time musician who doesn't have to do a 9-5 job and can just work on their skills and techniques all-day 😅

[@air9music]

As a bassist I have to say Myung's right hand technique is quite incredible in its efficiency. You wouldn't know he's playing and plucking strings if saw his 3 right hand fingers in isolation, it's so effortless and relaxed.

[@DigitalStains]

Yeah it's a joy to watch him play

[@fifrenzyguy341]

Lyrics by John Myung

[@luliches]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Love it.

[@MsFrostitute]

He did the lyrics to Breaking All Illusions

[@guzbh]

+fifrenzyguy341 he sings better than better than labrie

[@kwnelson23]

N. ,m.

[@prasetyoyulanda1710]

He wrote Metropolis pt. 1: the Miracle and Sleeper

[@superduperkoolman123]

I have recently come to the conclusion that John Myung is a long haired Buddha, having reached enlightenment at a young age, he now has a transcendental understanding of the universe and its inner workings far beyond what any human in the material world can comprehend. Myung knows that spoken words have little meaning in the spiritual realm, and only lead to bickering any hatred amongst the many creeds of life in the universe, so he prefers silence, opting instead to spread his message of perfect (shredding) harmony, beauty, and understanding through his bass playing.

[@johanjimenez3094]

Damn. That's more words than Myung ever spoke in his life.

[@viv30406]

Wow, come to think of it over the years, that might just be true! Anyway, so long as he's composing, we're all happy! :D

Well Idk if you looked into them more, but this is just a mashup of some of their songs, and aĺl their songs rock, to me at least =)

[@kingkongmalunggay]

@neo taurus dont be like that to that person. this was my first DT track I have ever listened as well back in 2008. months later, i was bingeing to their songs and later listened to every individual instrumental featured in this great piece. we discover dream theater in different ways.

[@Xianpaul0523]

I want more bass volume on every DT songs.

[@dermeister1957]

Came here to see ONLY Myung playing. All the band was playing too ... Wasn't disappointed !

[@markwilkinson508]

He's a class act. Quiet, understated, dignified, super talented and let's his music do all the talking. It's a shame there aren't more like him in this world.

[@glazedgamer7661]

I remember first getting this album and being sent into a transcendental state of WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!

[@aurelgabach1]

Having a 12-minute video focused only on one of the greatest bass player ever is just amazing. Thank you for this video!

[@shalis16]

Amazing how relaxed every member is. Especially Myung. While doing those awesome bass melodies and technical stuff he kinda stares at his instrument, tosses his hair back, watches the other guys play... Such a nice atmosphere there on stage. Love it

[@occhy_sizzle]

Awesome....He is the greatest bassist ever.....I've been loving his bass play for over 20 years. He is the man.

[@thewarofterror6278]

Better than Geddy Lee?

[@nicholasvinen]

Quite different styles.

[@ceedee9186]

That Yamaha Bass sounds absolutely amazing. Such underrated basses

[@Marlon2112]

His tone was better those days compared to his Music Man sound, which I don't like at all.

[@teachmehowto2658]

the amount of memorisation involved in this song is overwhelming

[@BenoitBricafiori]

I really love Myung, because he's always concentrate only into his music and we can see that just before his AMAZING bass solo at 4:28 that he's entering in a full state of concentration, it's what I call Majesty. *-*

[@yangerjamir0906]

Or YtseJam even.

[@SKRGamingChannel]

he is the coolest bassist ever!!

[@vornamen-mode3650]

Unbelievable high level of progressive music.

[@ironwolg]

haha I love how chill myung is during all of this

[@wiggy009]

Perry D he used to headbang alot before and whip his hair around

[@LifeOfCraig]

I can't help but imagine all of Dream Theatres songs as Final Fantasy battle themes.

[@zefonbass77]

John Myung is a complete Bass Player!! Speed technique fingering etc... This guy has limits to what he can do with that bass!! Rock on Myung!!!

[@bentarpey8666]

He's such a reserved player for a bass player in a technicall prog metal band and i mean that in a compliment. Like for their whole career I've always wanted to hear more Myung feature moments because I feel like he could do something explosive. But watching this he just perfectly nails everything, doesn't need to have the spotlight moments. What a player.

[@DreamfactoryZero]

They really should turn his mixes up.

[@TheVersatileWalrus]

+McGangBang Is it just me or is it like that on some of their albums?

[@pupperemeritus9189]

john myung's bass needs more punchy mids and highs. he just gets buried in the mix

[@jonnielsen4445]

It's gotten a lot lower since portnoy left as well. Definitely need to crank up that bass

[@RickReasonnz]

Falling Into Infinity has been stuck in my car for a while now, have to say that is my fav DT studio mix, Myung is definitely audible there.

[@daleonov]

Petrucci from 90s, Petrucci from 2000s and Petrucci from now - looks like three different persons.

[@iAlberto923]

He was very lanky back in the 90's, then he became Goku, and nowadays he became the Hulk.

[@TheProxy2]

Internët more like that god of rock in guitar hero 3

[@santobias3901]

The only same person is John Myung

[@vratyasvakyas6022]

I remember him rocking the hot topic pants in the early 2000s after he cut his hair

[@AcidicBiaxident]

Dream Theater's keyboardist from the early 90s, from the late 90s, and from now - also looks like three different persons.

[@jamesrockford2626]

these guys sound better live than on any record

[@toastednoodle1996]

i come back to watch this almost weekly and it blows me away every time, the man is a master at what he does

[@amulyashekhar4696]

John Myung is honestly the most mindblowing bassist I have discovered in metal so far. Different class to everyone.

[@glazedgamer7661]

Dude..... Les Claypool? I'd say he is just as awesome

[@soportetecnicohigoversomas3451]

GlazedGamer yeah, Les claypool is like a god

[@amulyashekhar2999]

Yes, Les Claypool has all the same chops but Myung plays bass on 4-minute tracks as well as 40-minute tracks. Primus's body of work can't even hold a candle to Dream Theater's.

[@glazedgamer7661]

Amulya Shekhar Are you kidding me? Primus is massive, Dream theatre is fucking fantastic, dont get me wrong, but when it comes to success, primus has them trounced. primus is probably the most influential underground metal act out there. Primus hold at least three braziers to DT's candle.

[@soportetecnicohigoversomas3451]

exactly Les claypool is a god, no one can fight with him except steve digiorgio

[@timfarrell6968]

Good lord. That's amazing bass playing. John Entwistle would be proud.

[@Revenant4k]

It continues into Trial of Tears though

[@charlesblanchet3152]

I love this band!!!!

[@PowerDaso]

There's a rumor that Myung doesn't talk too often because his voice is more amazing than his bass playing, and if he spoke too often the enviroment and movement of plate tectonics would go wild.

[@vandalistan]

yep, they practice a lot. we could see that in their documentaries. obviously, that practice shape their techniques. but in my opinion their music is not just about techniques. they have this special artistic vision, soul, taste or whatever it's called in making music.

[@clairebarwick2869]

No doubt many, many hours of rehearsal, awesome band.

[@jessagonzaga]

john myung is very very very FANTASTIC AND COOL!

[@jjjb9098]

I was at a live DT show in fall 09, and one of the things that struck me most about Myung was his unbelievable stamina and strength! Most of DT's stuff is fast tempo'd and often complex. John M. put on his usual perfect performance for nearly two hours!

[@prodbytdash4013]

This is unbelievable. This is music is trans-dimensional.

[@chefjimmie1]

Myung is a machine. They all are. Flawless. Effortless. John makes it look easy. As does Mike. Perfection. That's what this is. The top of the top. That's what they are. They all set a new high for their instruments. And together, they bounce their gifts off of each other bringing out their best. Their notes ringing together into one perfectly divided and perfectly tonal progression of sound. Pure elation for our sound sense. Near perfection on earth. That's what this is.

[@ec2683]

It's meditative to watch Myung play like this. Totally relaxed, in the pocket, and playing totally effortlessly. Stunning.

[@daiql7524]

I love his bass sound

[@raimesey]

7:50 is a level of epicness Dream Theater have failed to match since it was first written!!!

[@JohnSmith-wd9rc]

Geese, what an artist on the bass. Phenomenal!

[@charliecraig6873]

I always wonder if Myung is a robot that Dream theatre build to play bass for them, How on earth can he play all this with perfect timing, perfect technique and doing it so effortlessly. (without even changing his facial expression!)

Thank you for this. It seems that most videos of the band intentionally avoid showing John Myung, as if there's no bass. He is amazing to watch.

[@flowerDance2112]

Lol. xD You should listen to Tool and Red hot chilli Peppers. [they have amazing bassist] Also, in my opinion, the bassist of tool is better than John Myung. P.S. I love anime

[@anjiet]

Sometime I just wonder how can they remember so long riffs, let's not forget that most of their song is more than 6 mins!

[@scottmartin6594]

I don't know if anyone has ever picked up on it but the bass line at the end of This Dying Soul cuts through a bit and gosh is it fricken incredible!

[@conorguinan5927]

I wonder how myung felt when liquid tension experiment came on

[@sirborges]

Probably he felt nothing since he was working with his own side projects: Platypus and The Jelly Jam. They recorded Liquid Tension to strees out all the frustration they were having during the proccess of recording Falling into Infinity and seeing the producers trying to make Dream Theater a more comercial band. I believe two albuns were a cry of mixed anger and relieve for them. Also, because of LTE, some yeras later, they got RUdess.

[@felphero]

4:21 oh man you clearly can see that part is overdubbed, profissinaly recorded presentations are always a bunch of lies

[@Dreamsyn]

He literally doesn't play (misses) a note in the video, are you gonna sue him for that? such overdub. mate, go listen to them live and then tell me how much they overdub stuff. He's played that bass solo so many times (even in representations/lessons) that he can ace it with his eyes closed. Other than that, they're all humans, they all make mistakes, so overdubbing minor mistakes is never bad. Those minor mistakes do not impact the show at all, trust me - I can assure you of that since I've seen them live myself.

If we were talking about anyone but Myung, I would be freaking out just as much as you probably.
