When JM speaks you listen.

[@Tonatiuth]

Glad to hear Myung speaking and to know that along with mangini they have have a Lot of music on their brains still ready to find the correct time to use them

[@TheHp90s]

Quello che hai detto é una bella cosa

[@DavidOakesMusic]

I love how when he is talking the noise floor noticeably jumps up cause they've had to compress the shit out of his microphone :-D

[@OlexandrIgnatov]

John Myung starting to show some signs of aging and finally looks about 25 now.

[@bp6837]

He IS 25.

[@eventideelysium]

Now Myung won't speak for another 20 years. He used up all of his energy for that ultimate move.

[@antonioecheverria2727]

lmao true 😂

[@MagnifiedPorcealin]

Lol!

[@jamespurcer3730]

Introvert.

[@DropToon]

LOL

[@sammathis]

Mike Mangini seems like an incredibly likeable guy.

[@Jin.Yoon.]

With only 2 songs, this album is already worth to be praised and I already love it!

[@jeremythornton433]

I can't wait to hear the new music live!

[@zynosgd9982]

it sounds like someone trying to parody Dream Theater. They've lost their sound

[@fluntimes]

Having just heard the entire album today, I can happily confirm the rest of the songs are amazing. There's so much content in them and some unexpected twists. I'm trying to compare AVFTTOTW to previous albums but I can't, which is a good thing imo.

[@zoomzoom3950]

I can honestly say, DT never disappoints me and always exceeds my expectations. IMO

[@Psyggie]

Agreed. I love literally every album, I think they're all uniquely genius and extremely entertaining and satisfying to listen to over and over.

[@elmergarcia5648]

I CAN"T wait for October 22th

[@FacePallm94]

I’m so excited for this album!

[@michaelradu4313]

View From The Top is DEFINITELY their best "Mangini" album. Plus, the production is fantastic for a change. SWEET sounding album.

[@meowtherainbowx4163]

I love the creative headspace they’re in. I hope that as I refine my playing and writing abilities, I find myself with other musicians who are on the same wavelength like these guys are. They seem to quickly agree on things, not out of indifference but like-mindedness and appreciation. That sounds like heaven, so it’s no wonder why the musical result sounds so heavenly as well.

Shout out to JR and Elon! Can’t wait for the new album!

[@Gorbyrev]

Go Roie! Great interview and yes we are excited to hear the new stuff. Guaranteed that any new DT album will be on regular rotation all that year and sometimes the only album that's on rotation. Each one is an epic.

[@scottchappell3193]

I cant wait for this one

[@jeremythornton433]

I love how James comes up with lyrics. These videos are amazing! Almost as amazing as this band is!

[@marcelonanjari]

Thank you! I know this is going to be amazing.

Me too✌🔥

[@deepenwadhwa4027]

Same here! Please, come back here for this tour!

[@JeffPalmer83]

My favorite part was how you could audibly hear the mic gain level increase during the JM responses because he was so quiet 😆 Jokes aside, great interview!

[@a7x538]

I'm a fan from Indonesia, I can't wait for this album to be released...🙏🙏

[@justinkirk9007]

[@bahritkharakor9257]

Wow..great interview..love it! And can't wait for the album to be released....🙂

[@enthos38]

Hey DT! An 8 hour concert extravaganza when we can finally see you in person might be cool! 👍🙂

[@DistantEarlyWarning]

Cannot wait for this album to be released! Hope you guys reschedule tour dates soon. Also, the drop of Mike's phone killed me lmao!

[@difusor9047]

The album sounds amazing!!!

[@geralddrums]

Sehr sehr cool, dass es hier immer weitere Alben gibt!!! :-)

[@Zuroth]

I'm really looking forward to hear whatever setlist they put together for these new tour!

[@sambaxter3304]

the production is so brilliant the second round of that opening riff the guitar is lowered a tad and the synth is loudened love the subtle spacey texture that comes in. mad

[@tristanroblind]

This has been so fun! I am so excited for next week! Cannot wait for the new album! Much love to you all!

[@YuTuboTuTubas]

You guys are awesome. So music skilled. Talkin about metrics snd tempo. True professors...personally as a former drummer I love to learn every single thing Mike has to say. Great great drmmer and awesome he knows such felow giants like Tool's Danny C.

[@kimxe20]

3:23 the moment we've been waiting for, the voice is unleashed

[@bozziovai]

i just love these 5 people. james. john and john. jordan and mangini. such an inspiration. thank you.

[@IKARIANOFFICIAL]

As a James myself, I approve of all those J names in DT! Lol....

[@bozziovai]

@@IKARIANOFFICIAL is it safe to alter DTs name to 5JM haha

[@yeeshanmalik8353]

Man i love mike . You can't get nicer than that

[@user-fw1ij8ru1h]

Can't wait

[@sameermohamed8590]

Mike Mangini's phone drops on the floor@10:47. Hope his screen survived that fall!

[@dickvanaarle5854]

JP says "drum fill with the big pop...." and the phone drops on the ground. Pure Magic.

[@MK-oz2lf]

rock n roll lol

[@ajadimebag1084]

Honestly dream theatre fans are music lover.. Only good musicians who understand music love them.. They have the most die hard fans... I geranty I fill sad for those people who don't know dream theatre... I fill sorry for those people.. Their life is incomplete.. If u love music n u don't know who they are.!! U r wasting ur time... ! Go now n check out their songs .. U will understand wt I'm trying to say..! Good luck.love dream theatre.. Fan John petrucci for life.

[@vince300100]

"Only good musicians who understand music love them.." I'm a very low level guitar player and i'm an hardcore fan of them. You don't have to be a good musician to appreciate good music.

[@mattywoo3649]

Really cool how this albums note or next key choices are used not like any other DT album like each one has a placed and moved around before moving to the next.

[@jmseva]

This DT is so overwhelming unique, they r like superheroes with individual powers.

[@darrylmcneill6729]

John myung an exuberant man

[@christurp7881]

Already Shared 🤘🔥🤘

[@LeftHandShred2]

The sound of JR opening the water bottle was louder than JMs voice.

[@demonhalo67]

The material on the last album DOT gave me alot of confidence in the increasing cohension in DT with Mangini. I still don't think the songwriting is close to the stuff they did in the 90's but that was 25 years ago. Progressive bands don't play the same album over and over again and nor would we want them to. Looking forward to the drop.

[@jeremythornton433]

I'm looking forward to this new one and seeing them live again. It has to be really hard to come up with new ideas after all this time and so I understand why the want to revisit old ideas and see what they can do to update them. Great band!

[@MAntos-xw6iu]

I think its an alien clone, Myung never talks.

[@christopherscottbrown1473]

So beyond excited for this album ‼️

[@StokBrod]

the fact that James was inspired by Joe Rogan and Elon Musk for the alien is just so cool and funny

[@s3k1m]

I'm one of those fans that always look forward to new DT material. It's amazing that their music is still relevant at this point of their career.

[@user-cv9jh8ey9p]

사랑해요😍

[@leeDs718]

loving these mature, well-thought out questions and topics.

[@zoedoesmusic4520]

only bested by myungs answers

[@mrnobody1231]

I've been listening to the alien everyday for exactly 2 months now but i never really paid attention to the lyric and one day i decided to google the lyric and at that time i thought to myself "wow i think this song is about elon musk, haha don't be silly, that's impossible" but then i was right 2:00

[@ajadimebag1084]

This people are the coolest band I ever seen.. Can't wait to see them live... Biggest fan frm nagaland.. I'm sure John solo will blow.. U r my inspiration John petruci... My only wish is to kiss ur feet.

[@clockmaker1]

I know it should come out on October 22nd. But can you release it tomorrow? We will die of anticipation!!!

[@danlc95]

The 22nd?! I'm in the studio that day, recording Mangini inspired drumming!! Wow!

[@JakobHeld]

10:46 Aha Aha... We finally found the thief from Krik Hammetts phone!

[@eduardoluiz4561]

Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Javisebas26]

Like number 376, can't wait for October 22nd.... I think we'll pretty much have a great epic from our favorite band and I know these riffs, and beats and odd-time signatures will definitely have a great impact in our lives

Dude mangini's drums are just so good like the sound is so clear and nice.

[@CalvinHodge]

i have a feeling you will enjoy the epic. specifically the timestamp 14:11 in the song. i think andy sneap and i have the same favorite part

[@AtomizedSound]

The best drum mix so far post 2010 DT

[@jeremythornton433]

@@AtomizedSound I have to agree with you!

[@yuricoutinho233]

Every single one of them is a monster musician, but I can only imagine what it is to have Jordan Rudess in your band..!

8:50 LaBrie seems really excited.

[@m.thephilosopher]

I never thought that a Dream Theater album would bore me as much as the new one. For years, always the same melodies. This is so sad for me because I really wanted to like the new album and listen to it every day, but unfortunately it is not so !

[@ultranemesys5908]

Pink Floyd - Rush - Iron Maiden - Metallica - Dream Theater. That's It.

[@professorofrhetoric1152]

I think they’re wearing the same shoes.

[@sullytool]

I love this band. Next to Tool, Metallica, And Rush. The musical journey these men take you on is just astounding. I have a fond appreciation of their musicianship and the detail they bring to every album. And the emotion. I will admit i have cried listening to some of their songs. I have just grown to appreciate just how talented they really are. It's the one band whether i didn't like everthing on every record, I still look forward to new music from them every time they release an album. This is a band that should be in the Rock N Roll hall of fame along with Portnoy.
