Imagine Petrucci coming to your house through the chimney

[@Marifet124]

Easy to imagine 🤣

[@staalejonko]

He'd be stuck in my home though

[@percyrobles8897]

He's literally Santa.

[@Heiteinah]

His arms so bulky he'd be stuck midway.

[@Marifet124]

@@Heiteinah no. He would destroy the chimney and fireplace and land on his feet with a coal covered face without effort.

yooooooo. thats a good idea

Woah a Dream Theater Christmas song? I'm all in for this!!

[@pineapplepeanuts]

This isn't a total surprise - the members of DT have done Christmas music before - but this is still surreal to hear! Congrats to the band for having the stones to try this and should be interesting to hear what Christmas carols sound like in multiple time signatures.

[@mateachenkual1529]

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎄🎄

[@rinowicaksono3003]

better than any astonishing songs

[@bbora_sixstring]

Plot twist: Petrucci become Santa by dyeing his beard white, uses Labrie's forklift as his sleigh and brings signature majesties for everyone on eve.

[@stevencooper1103]

The only way I'd ever get one, lol.

[@MrChrisRP]

Hate to break the news to you, but Santa is fake, all the same as the fake ball Earth. It's actually the same lie. Hope you can find a way to grow up. The previous sentence is not for you but if you like it, it can be. :)

[@henrypuga7833]

AWESOME!!!

[@damonfibraio5667]

I didn't want this song to end. Now I want a whole Christmas album from dream Theater. Awesome stuff, guys. And for a good cause, too. I paid for this and I'm going to crank this up for the holidays. And if anybody doesn't like this, you have no soul.

Dream Theater with Portnoy covered Dark Side Of The Moon..... Now they are covering Jingle Bells 😂😂😂😂

[@adrianciel2154]

Finally drums with no triggering and samples...again after DT album...it suits dream theaters sound so well...

[@silentbasilisk3080]

To be fair, the samples are perfect on the original I&W, which as an audio engineer, I can use. I play Another Day to set the room EQ. It's such a tight record, and I've heard it front to back dozens of times, so I know what it's supposed to sound like.

[@adrianciel2154]

@@silentbasilisk3080 Yeah I like it too, but it was quite sign of the times then...that clean sound of the 90ties...they want it for two last records and I dont think it made the Images and Words feeling :)

DT: Yes we all survived so we need to do something...

[@nufayer]

Sounds like they recorded this from their home, means pretty rough recording without much post processing in studio... Excited!

[@Newspin]

Since they have been actively writing and recording their next album for quite some time now I doubt your first statement.

[@nufayer]

@@Newspin actually i didn't have a look on there briefing video where they talk about this track before posting this comment...So I might be wrong

[@Cody_Wan_Kenobi]

They recorded it in their studio. Nothing about this clip sounds rough.

[@GeraltOfLibya]

I would say that james's voice is too overproduced for that (not complaining about the production tho)
