Dream Theater (The Count of Tuscany) Kel-n-Rich FIRST REACTION

[@prog1962]

For me the most amazing song ever made i think i'm not the only one.This song realy hits your heart

[@rankest2390]

Agree brother

[@Mdefoy83]

That song and in the name of god 👌

[@Pej88]

Simplemente una obra de arte. Una mezcla de Metal, Jazz, Sinfónico, melódico, ambiental, etc.

[@andyparkinson7829]

You are my brother, pal and DT are musical legends !

[@Tw6n]

Amen!

[@yuceliko5459]

21:00 the moment you realize commenting on dream theater is pointless and all you can do is enjoy their divine music

[@Sleepwokkr]

I'm not usually very big on reaction videos... But I have to say that you guys are a genuine joy to watch. I have been a Dream theater fan since 1992, and it's almost like hearing this song for the first time all over again...when I watch the emotions on your faces. Dream theater really are an absolute treasure that I have bee in love with for 27 years now... And to see your faces express so much feeling and soul when listening to this song. I actually teared up a couple times when you guys did, even though I have heard this song countless times. That was fun....Feel free to do some more. 😉

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

I’m speechless again....unreal. I’m usually pretty snappy and swift on my feet, however...your kind and thoughtful comments mixed with your own personal story quickly reminds me why Kel-n-I have chosen to do this with you all. This experience seems to bring out the best in people. Thank you for being an A-class ambassador for this. We are inspired ✨✨✨⚡️🌪🔥🙏🏽❤️

[@TheGiarcC]

I absolutely agree..Watching these two is like watching my friends when we were discovering the music...so good guys!

[@sandyferati6625]

I agree with this comment 100%, except I only discovered DT 3.5 years ago, and I barely can listen to any other band. I love watching you guys because it is rare to find someone who enjoys them like I do. This older rocker mama's girlfriend aren't into metal much :)

[@calibadgerdude6082]

I must have listened to this song 2-300 times (not an exaggeration, this is by far the most played song in my library) and I have the exact same feeling you guys did every. Single. Time. It’s a masterpiece.

[@scarinflictor]

Brock O'Meles yep! Agreed!

[@CoolAsianGuy]

those numbers are on a week or a month?

[@ilovetacos6092]

This song is in my top 3 favorite songs of all time. It ticks every single box for me when I’m listening to it. Wholly satisfying in every way. And it gets better every single time I listen to it, which is very often.

[@Pej88]

Es muy emotiva

[@scarinflictor]

The Count of Tuscany is unbelievable! One of my all time favorites! What a masterpiece!

[@scarinflictor]

Could y’all somehow list songs you haven’t heard or albums y’all aren’t familiar with and I’d love to give and we could give recommendations. ;) #DT4life

[@scarinflictor]

New subscriber btw! You guys rock!!🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Marifet124]

I want to hear this song for the first time again..

[@pandomeglio]

Great song! I live in Tuscany, near that area they talk about in the text. Every time I pass from there with the car I think of Petrucci and the others ..... This song added magic to an already wonderful place!

[@senio79]

Quanto hai ragione...

[@bugmaster11]

No other song has given me goosebumps every single friggin time I listen to it! Such an epic masterpiece!! 1🤘

[@raphaelbhz]

One of my fav songs ever

[@DanielCorrea86]

You guys are so cute.. love it!!!!

[@psychodelian]

THIS is probably my favorite Dream Theater epic

[@juanfranciscopinedof.4912]

You guys are awesome....every time kel crys...I cry with her....

[@lilymercado6388]

you guys are awesome! so much love in there!

[@thebard1337]

I so appreciated the genuine and raw emotional reactions to this song....thank you...it was a pleasure to anticipate certain parts of the songs and see them get noticed by both of you. It brought a smile to my face many times and felt like I was "introducing" you to the song in a way. I always get emotional during the later middle part of the song with Petrucci's "solo". I saw them play this song live during this album tour and that moment of the song during the show was a moment I don't think I'll ever forget....

[@Brandon-zn8rf]

Dream Theater - In The Name of God (Live at Budokan)! Best outro improv solo EVER!

[@beatnaf8429]

OMG what a Masterpiece!!!!! ✌️

[@jeremybradder8112]

Speechless, makes me cry every time. Truly an amazing piece of music.

[@chilliflakes7691]

Well said Kel.. "Aliens and Angels of music"

[@frankalfar]

I'm so jealous of Kels musical heart connection w you Rich!!!I had a long long time ago such a connection but alas we were separated by life . This is what I feel as I watch the two of you. Thank You❤✌by the way I've been waiting for two reactions. 1. Yes:Awaken 2. The Count of Tuscany. After seeing Kels reaction to Close to the Edge, I just knew it.

[@robertyetter7370]

Loved this vid & your reaction😀 DT 4 LIFE

[@edar1283]

You guys are the best!

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

That means a lot to us. We are all ‘souls on board’. Thank you for stopping in and hanging out!!!!🙏🏽😊👊🤘

[@adrianvivas4953]

Master peace! Hi from Argentina!

[@Bryan-T]

This is a great song. My favorite part is the end when The Count speaks and the music is soaring. It's hard to not get emotional.

[@robertsimmons3336]

Soo glad you did this song! I have been waiting for you to do this one!!! Another one of the same cd is The Best of Times. A song written for Mike Portnoy's father who passed away about the same time mine did. Talk about some heart felt lead guitar!! These 2 are in my top 4 Dream Theater songs quite possibly 1+2!!

[@sky173]

Great reaction. Brought me to tears the first time also. Thanks for sharing.

[@dafe2602]

You two are awesome .... A big thank from Germany and go on ....

[@JustinOhio]

9:50 That's not the "bridge", that's the chorus. The bridge would be the instrumental section followed by the soft part and guitar swells in the middle (after that 2nd chorus.)

[@cornela1]

That part when it all comes back at the outtro is one of my favorite moments in music. So profoundly beautiful

[@nexuslang]

You guys are officially ready to react to "The Glass Prison" ;) But seriously, I know you guys love the "soaring" quality of some of DT's songs, so I strongly advise you to check out "Voices", which is from the "Awake!" album. It's LaBrie at his best, and the band sounds so tight! For their thrashier, grittier side, listen to "Honor Thy Father" (or, basically, most of the songs on their "Train of Thought" album).

[@nexuslang]

@@fp7026 but have they reacted to them online? As long as they're already taking the DT journey, they might as well go into their masterpiece concept albums/songs, including "Six Degrees", "Scenes froim a Memory", "Images and Words", "A Change of Seasons"... Not to mention that they asked for recommendations/favorites!

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Ok! Provocative. We like that. Voices would only be a first react if it was LIVE since we both have listened a lot to Awake. It goes on the list. Definitely! I’ve saved Train....awesome. Never touched it.

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

@Martín Perazzo ....great suggestions. Kel has not heard SCENES! I’ve been saving that one for her. That will be off the hook!!!! COSeason as well! Oct also! Hehehe.

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Martín Perazzo...I haven’t heard 80% of SDOTurb. Can’t wait.

[@psychodelian]

@@Kel.N.RichReactions avoid the 2nd cd...unless you liked The Astonishing

[@mgriffis38]

I just discovered this today and came here first after to see what your reaction was if there was one. So happy to see you did. This is great

[@calibadgerdude6082]

The riffage in this song is insane. Not just because it’s super fast, but because it is almost CONSTANTLY changing. It rarely repeats a phrase more than twice before switching to a different pattern, all while seemingly random polyrhythmic stuff is happening in the background with the drums. And they make it sound so effortless. In my opinion, this is DT at the very peak of their game. Such a shame this is the last album Portnoy recorded with them. No shade on Mangini, he’s a fantastic drummer and has found his own niche within the band, but nobody can play with the passion and power that Portnoy could. There was always a kind of carefree exuberance to his playing that balanced out the technicality and prevented it from sounding sterile.

[@DbladeMedic]

This this right here. I dont want to start up a debate between portnoy and mangini. But in my opinion this is why i like portnoy more not to say mangini is bad hes not i love his drumming too but mangini sounds like a drum machine his playing is way to technical and perfect. Portnoy sounds like he is the soul of the band when he drums

[@jima6545]

Portnoy has a sound. Like Peart, Rich, Moon, and Baker. They just SOUND different.

[@andyparkinson7829]

It's wonderful to see comments from people who think about music and especially DT exactly the same way as me. Best band on the planet for the last 30 years !

[@IREMEMBERNOW]

This reaction never gets old. This is my favorite song of all time.. just everything about it is perfect.the best outro I’ve ever heard.great job guys!

[@XDDiegao]

Best reaction video i’ve ever seen. You guys show an inspiring passion for music in your videos. Thank you for that

[@zildjian4life433]

possibly...my all time favorite DT song. EPIC! Written by guitarist John Petrucci, about an experience he had on a trip to Tuscany.

[@camcswain1]

just going back to watch some of your earlier videos. Definitely has some "snuggle" moments, doesn't it? lol. Good stuff

[@joshh4071]

Love your reactions. I would recommend In the Presence of Enemies parts 1 and 2 from Dream Theater

[@BrandonThomas-q6p]

One of my favorite songs of all time! Hope you guys are doing well.

[@alanalanis2257]

Hey Rich and Kel!! I just saw your reaction to The Count of Tuscany again. I'm missing your reactions. I hope to hear from y'all soon. Positive vibes from San Antonio TX!! 😊

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Hey pal! So good to hear from you. Much love!!!! KnR ❤️🫶

[@alanalanis2257]

​@@Kel.N.RichReactionsJust wondering... Will you and Kel be doing more video reactions soon? 🙏😊

[@christidwell3902]

you guys are amazing - an honest and deep visceral response to art. I remember the way i felt the first time I saw paintings by the artist Cezanne, the first time I saw London from the top of the Shard .... life is about moments, taking a second to share a moment with those that mean the most to us, when we can do that and experience art together for the first time ... it's even more special. Please keep sharing - I enjoy your genuine and personal interpretations of Dream Theater's art. Music connects us, on so many levels and in turn, helps all of us to grow together. Your unspoken heartfelt moments illustrate and tell a story for all of us to incorporate into our own library of life's moments ..... and that sharing helps us all to learn and appreciate things on so many different levels. Many thanks for everything that you do. You guys are great!

[@alejandromartinez3514]

This song brings tears to me eyes

[@sustenuto]

Your reaction was as genuine as mine.. it messes with your heart, it takes you to a big trip, it's just unbelieve

[@kennysoriginalmusicchannel5916]

Great reaction! I cried watching this with you. I've heard it before but it is so breathtaking and beautiful!

[@alanalanis2257]

I don't know why many people don't get Dream Theater. I've been I fan ever since I heard Pull Me Under back in 1992. I don't care if it's Portnoy or Mangini on drums (although I do miss DT's chemistry with him). I don't care if it's Rudess, Sherinian, or Moore on keyboards. Their music is just so awe inspiring and epically intense. Now I'm almost 46 and DT's music still makes me feel like when I was 20. With that said, could you please do me the honor and react to one of my all time favorites: Octavarium (both live and studio versions). Also if you want to see them in their full instrumental glory please react to Acid Rain Live in LA (with guest bass player Tony Levin of King Crimson). They did a side project called Liquid Tension Experiment and produced two amazing instrumental albums. Acid Rain is from one of those albums. Thank you so much for your reactions!!!

[@theaterofsouls]

true...

[@CMCguitars1]

I can try to explain. To me they have music that is absolutely brilliant, like this song, then other songs that just fall flat or come off as cheesy, sometimes on the same album. This song is pure genius though.

[@johndyda5673]

I'm 64 now and think DT are the most underrated band of all time. I play guitar but Petrucci is just unbelievable and all members past or present are just top notch!

[@jonmoffat1]

It's because people generally aren't educated on music and how it works. They prefer simple 3 minute songs that are instantly gratifying instead of a piece of music with substance that you can really appreciate and even learn from.

[@jima6545]

No offense Mangini. You are a fantastic drummer. Your style is different. DT just ain't the same. The new material you own

[@jima6545]

Yep me too. One of their masterpieces. And it gets better everytime you listen to it.

[@bradkamphues9813]

Can never get enough of DT

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

You got that right Brad!!!!

[@l.hbravo8828]

10 years listening dream theater great band

[@nickh1933]

I am glad I am not the only one who is reduced to tears by the end of this song.. incredible songwriting that transcends all popular music as well as classic music. Brilliant and virtuosic.

[@5leeefa]

“Every song is a cuddling song with you” ❤️

[@brunogiovannini2180]

Masterpiece! True masterpiece by DT! Thanks for the reaction!

[@guillertxt]

Me alegra que disfruten a estos tremendos musicos. Por lo menos a mi me dan ganas de vivir cada dia como si fuera el último. Saludos desde Argentina. Aguante Dream Theater!!!!!!!

[@alanalanis2257]

The greatest musicians the world has ever seen or heard!!!

[@liquidshadows79]

One of my favorite DT songs. You guys are awesome.

[@gabrieleepifani8882]

I remember the first time I listened to this song (2009) I started crying in the same time!

[@bunis_legal]

I heard this song many times, but with you guys it soooo great!!!! Thanks you! Reaction realy live and nice!!!! 😍

[@aquamarin6]

You guys are amazing , this is my most favorite dream theater song )

[@VulgrimOfficial]

Dream Theater... the Gods of Music. There is no better Band out there!!!!.❤❤

[@Pej88]

Dream Theater es una de las mejores bandas dela historia de la música. Es más, creo que yo particularmente la pondría en primer lugar. Me gustaba mucho más con Mike Portnoy pero aún así con Mangini tiene hermosas canciones. Es una banda que es de otro planeta, es como Rush pero potenciado.

[@POUSA1]

Immersed...Love this song!!

[@ericgrimm4526]

Johnny P said that this really happened people!!! Put that into your Pipe! Best song ever!

[@andyparkinson7829]

That moment, after the first few listens, when everything fits into place and you 'get it'. That, for me, was one of the most satisfying feelings and one of the strongest musical emotions, I have ever felt. Brilliant.

[@jamestaylor8986]

Petrucci: I was almost cannibalized, guess I’ll write an epic song about it. These guys can write great songs about getting out of bed in the morning.

[@marinhrabric6162]

Definitely. Look at wither

[@GoskitarDTV]

WE ALL KNEW!!! This is the one, the best song ever. And this is why: This song can take away any pain you are feeling inside. The melody, the lyrics and the transitions are so interpretable as an enormous life-changing decision you are about to take. This is something we all feel when we have problems (in fact we all have). If you are in that situation, you will cry, because this song heals it ! You can tell by their reactions at the end of the song, they freeze, just because the song ended!! The end of bad times.

[@TheDang11c]

DT songs are played with heart and soul, I'm glad to see that there's still people in touch with their emotions, greetings guys you're awesome!!

[@balticstain7150]

Hi guys try and get a clip of them live WOW fabulous love your reaction is FABULOUS , Progressive metal bands around one of the best bands around..... They are are the one of the best for progressive metal bands around , where as ' Night Wish ' is symphonic band Brilliant and emotional where are those damm tissues again

[@aryazamiri]

Mangini has been in the band since On the Backs of Angles album onward, prior to that it is the legendary Mike Portnoy on the drums.;)

[@ChrisChris-jg7fj]

I'm a huge reaction video. But I can't believe dream theater reaction video, not many people's like or understand it. But seeing your reaction is amazing, it's like what I react when 1st hear this song. Thx a lot for this😀

[@fendi-bull8167]

I remember listen to the continuum section while I was asleep, as soon as it ends? I woke up fresh under "hypnosis".

[@manuelluispereira1139]

One 9f my fav dream theatre songs very epic. Great musicianship great lyrics. Love this song.

[@derekpetersen7571]

We have no words either this song touches your soul and brings a tear to you eye

[@dirtpile]

the instrumentals are out of this world! There is an instrumentals only disc with this set - check it out some time.

[@freddydrums]

Es simplemente hermosa. Entiendo que se hayan quedado sin palabras. Definitivamente la primera vez que escuché esta hermosura de canción sentí una conexión muy grande con ella. Simplemente mi canción favorita y la que quisiera escuchar cuando me case o cuando muera...

[@silverbrahmapaolino9528]

Questo brano è semplicemente un’opera d’arte assoluta!

[@ericminnick5295]

A truly amazing DT song, I really love seeing Kel's Rockgasms...a sign of pure joy to what your hearing, the volume swell section of John's solo was great, for more check out some live versions of this song, one has John going into the "go to sleep" lulaby just before the acoustic entry, just amazing....

[@barbershop5418]

Best reaction ever!!! Can’t believe you guys hadn’t heard this masterpiece yet. Definitely one of DT’s greatest works. Listen to the entire album, as it never got enough credit. There are great covers on the album as well. You guys are great. Keep it up.🤟🏻

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Absoultely @Barbershop 5. We are really just touching the surface even after 750 videos and over 900 songs. So much to explore with y'awl.

[@davidandronicomusic]

love this, you guys are great!

[@nedrini1387]

Hey guys. New subscriber here. I absolutely love watching the way you guys react to dream theater. Kel you react the same way in the same parts that I love

[@oldboygamer9985]

Came back here to revel in the irony. Kel described them as Alien Angels of Music. Well Dream Theater just won their first Grammy for their song “The Alien”. There, I’ve reveled, carry on.

[@vmstars]

Yes guys. They are from other world. The first time I heard this song I thought that it was impossible to do so emotional and beautiful song

[@jamesbennett2254]

Phenomenal absolutely love this song, The space like guitar work is beyond beautiful I’m amazed by this band almost overwhelmed

[@jeffwood2956]

OMG, how did I not see this til now... Your reaction at the end of the song was the same as mine...I couldn't speak the first time I heard that. EVERY song on that album is a true story

[@ominuit]

I have chills listening to this song since day 1, and I've listen it hundreds of times. The middle break keyboard/guitar all the way to the end part is the most incredible deep music feeling I've ever experienced. I love them since Awake and till the end.

[@gabrieleepifani8882]

one of my favourite DT songs! It's a masterpiece!

[@bermudaguitar]

Awesome, one of my most fave from Black Clouds album. It still gives me goosebumps up to now. Oh by the way, Another song that is so part of my heart and soul is THE BEST OF TIMES. My father died 2012 and this song reminds me of him everytime, you should do that song too :) Thank you :)

[@abhisek-chatterjee]

"Every song is a cuddling song with you." You are lucky,Rich!

[@rsalp]

Love your reaction guys, I get the same everytime I hear this.

[@hardtruthsoldier]

What a wonderful reaction to my all time favorite DT song, that accustic part at the end bring often tears in my eyes, bought that album when i had real dark times...and the lyrics fitted so much. "Could this be the end? Is this the way I die? Sitting here alone No one by my side I don't understand I don't feel that I deserve this What did I do wrong? I just don't understand" Thank you for sharing that reaction with us...you guys ROCK!!!

[@svonavja]

I was fortunate enough to watch them play this live in Columbus Ohio in 2010. Excellent song My #1 DT song.

[@zirconiumarthiritis7409]

LISTEN TOO DREAM THEATERS "THROUGH HER EYES" SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG PEACE

[@korylinn2251]

Zirconium Arthiritis a whole album reaction to Metropolis, Pt 2 would be so fantastic It’s hard to pick just one song from that album - the whole thing together is such a great story

[@littmus32ify]

My reaction was exactly yours after hearing this song the first time. Last song on the CD cranked up in the car driving the back mountain roads of Arizona. I couldn't see the road I was bawling so hard! 😭😭😭 Lol

[@doplinger1]

You’ve convinced me - I need to check out Dream Theater. I’m about the age of your older brother so I did get to experience a lot of original classic rock, but all I had to draw on was MY older brother (by one year). Even at that he exposed me to a lot of stuff I may not have ever heard without him. We grew up in a town where really the only radio was top 40 or easy listening,, so no deep tracks or album rock until much later on. I’m still waiting to see Kel react to some Supertramp!!

[@Lesk26]

I've been listening to it at least once a month since it came out, and it's the greatest song in the history of music.

[@jamesbennett2254]

Brilliant reaction, this is the most perfect song I’ve ever heard it breaks my heart every time in the most beautiful way, it’s heavenly

[@zaio15_DarioMannu_DM-DrumCover]

U guys are lovely... absolutely lovely. What a True reaction... DT are full of soul, heart... a simple complexity. LOVE U guys! from Milan, Italy

[@tankanstein5125]

i mean how much better can it really get ... from beginning to end..

[@anambivalentenemy]

For many many DT fans (including me),A Change of Seasons is their best song yet. Good luck listening to it (23'07"..)

[@Takealookatmychannelhere]

Count is one of the top of top DT tracks :)

[@reklawnehpets]

You would very much enjoy Dream theater - the ministry of lost souls :)

[@danielpuskar7609]

Yee

[@rafaelmorales3448]

I have followed you very closely and normally do not comment, but this song deserves my subscription and my thanks for giving the chance to these masterpieces to be listened to. By the way, I love DT. You do a very good job, and I feel you almost enjoy this music like me

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

THANK YOU @Rafael Morales!!! We are doing our very best to bring our best to you. We are starting some new things tonight so be sure to let us know what you think!!! Ok? Rich

Love youŕ channel, you 2 are so cool and look good together. Probably best musicians on the planet. Great reaction to a great DT song. If you wish more of the same OCTAVARIUM!!!!!!!! Keep it real guys 🤘🤘

[@BigIsk52]

Very enjoyable sharing this wonderful song w both of you. One of my favorites. I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest Lines In the Sand from Dream Theater, but a great song that holds special meaning to me. Peace.
