Dream Theater - Honor Thy Father (Live in Chicago -- August 12, 2005)

[@celeumacolorada]

This was an underrated song on a perfect album.

[@catuab4]

I agree! 🇵🇪🇲🇨🇵🇱🇱🇻🇵🇱🇲🇨🇵🇪🇵🇪🇲🇨🇲🇨🇱🇻

[@joaquinlezcano2372]

How can it be underrated if it's widely regarded as Mike Portnoy's finest hour?

[@devarmont87]

Da fuk are you on about?? Just because you think it was underrated doesn't mean it was. Most my theatre friends agree this was there best song on the album.

4:45 The reason they go black there is so you don't see that it's Myung doing the "Don't cross the crooked step" vocal.

Hahaha!

[@Zero-lv7xe]

Thnx for that man... appreciate it

[@oldrocknroll1]

Its weird listening to James sing in this all intense, then listen to a song like Beneath the Surface... His vocal range is amazing!

[@josie1776]

Both amazing songs.

What I like about this video: 0:00 Porntoy drum insanity 5:57 Myung Swag 6:17 Rudess having a epiphany while playing 7:37 Petrucci... Well being Petrucci 8:53 Yeah modafuka!

[@staceycross3684]

Lmfaooooooo just watched ruddess have the epiphany

[@adorno_gang37]

He's like "ohh i get it, the notes get higher if you go more to the right"

[@McSmijens1]

The best part of 8:53 is that it's actually not cringey. It's both funny and badass xD

[@klausesteinworth9776]

I'm surprised the whole band didn't drop down on the ground laughing uncontrollably at 8:53

[@mamesushi136]

The epiphany one had me laughing out loud.

[@NikiWonoto26]

one of DT songs that is really cool for headbanging from beginning until the end!! yeaaah motherfuckaaaa!!!

[@diaphanoux]

Still can't believe they did this album in only two weeks or so... Majesty!!!

Makes a mistake as well. It's not something we usually see

This was my first favourite song from DT. When I started to listen to them back in 2006/2007

[@danieldany8520silva]

0:55 epic moment!!!!!!

[@myturbulance]

Once I saw this comment, I checked, Myung's tuning is way different from Petrucci. He don't even move his hand on guitar board. :D

[@ryanslater674]

Wow this is one of the songs by dream theater i havent really listened to. but wow ive listened to it every day now for 4 days and every day it gets better to me. amazing song, i love the cross the crooked step part! and the end MUTHAFUCKAAA

[@tommisabre666]

Forgot how awesome this song is!

[@violetcarlson]

4:41-4:47 --> complicated unison intro for saying "don't cross the crooked step". awsomeness

[@theaterdreamer]

I watched the Images and Words Live in Tokyo show the other night. There's the one scene where they're out looking at a condoms poster. "What about John Myung?" "He's the chef!" That was, what, 1992? He looks exactly the same now as he did 22 years ago.

[@ALITLLEREMIX]

dont get surprised, john myung will probably look like this for ever

[@julioluiz]

I come from the future and he still looks exactly the same in 2019.

[@knotchbass]

One of my favorites from the masters Dream Theater. Come back to Houston please........................

[@mokacortes532]

Octavarium was the best tour DT had in my opinion, 1 song from every album in chronological order and each show had a different setlist. So epic.

[@sapatalanac]

Pure skill!!!

[@dariocp87]

the most heavy song of this guys! awesome!

[@josie1776]

More than Panic Attack? These two form a hard match when we talk about heaviness.

[@RazorEd11]

Petrucci's tone here is so mighty, Mesa roadkings I believe. SO GOOD.

[@shawnfox1100]

Petrucci > Anyone with a guitar in their hand

[@theaterdreamer]

Petrucci is an incredible guitarist, no doubt, but when you're as good as Steve Morse, or Joe Satriani, or Adrian Vandenberg, it really comes down to personal preference. I don't say that one of these guys is better than another. They're all incredible, and I'm thankful that we can hear all of them play.

[@shawnfox1100]

True. Petrucci is my preference.

[@theaterdreamer]

I can't argue with you there. I have every DT album and his LTE stuff on my phone. I can't tell you how many hundreds of hours I've spent listening to him, either on CD/mp3, in concert on DVD/Blu Ray, or in person. Petrucci is one of my five biggest musical influences, along with Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes, Brian May and Joe Satriani.

[@shawnfox1100]

Nice list, gotta love Satch

[@Muglinnor]

Lil' Wayne > Petrucci

[@ismaelquezada8979]

Amazing!!! That's what a drum should sound like 👍

[@rjohnsonh]

What a masterpiece!

[@6393dude]

my favorite from this album

[@TinoSchulz1990]

Portnoy once mentioned that he was responsible for the cutting of the video-sequences and that he was limited to the footage they got from that gig. It must have been a pain to not even have enough footage to show Rudess during his solo parts 😀 (Ok, there are some, but you can clearly see that the videographers had no idea or supervisor at that time 😀)

[@fawwazputra2839]

Man, Petrucci looks badass on this video. Both on the performance and the hair

[@rostifardian]

Fawwaz Putra He's even got 90's raver pants on! haha. Remember Jyncos?

[@mostafahossaintuhin]

We're taught unconditional love That blood is thicker than water That a parent's world would revolve Always around their son or their daughter You pretended I was your own And even believed that you loved me But were always threatened by some Invisible blood line that only you could see You took advantage of an outreached hand And twisted it to meet your every need ''Gimme time to re-charge my batteries, I'll see her when she's older and I'll bounce her on my knee'' Well listen to me you ungrateful fool Here comes a dose of reality You'll go to your grave a sad and lonely man The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan On and on and on and on it goes It's so easy to run away with nothing in tow How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the nerve to blame this mess on me Never in my life have I seen someone So ignorant to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree I tried your 4 bill therapy I tried to make amends But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet Don't you see respect is not a one way street Blaming everyone for all that you've done wrong I'll get my peace of mind when you hear this song On and on and on and on it goes And with every passing day true colors show How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the balls to blame this mess on me Never in my life have I seen someone Oblivious to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree Watch where you walk Don't you dare cross the crooked step Watch the way you talk Don't cross the crooked step ["This is a regret that you make"] ["We're still connected"] ["This is a regret that you make-"] ["I want my family back"] ["-and there's something you take"] ["You can't have it. I'm sorry for you, but it's too late"] ["Mistakes like this You don't make"] ["Can't you see anything except in terms of how it affects you?"] ["You make some And they'll get to you"] ["You don't love anybody"] ["I gave you money, I gave you a car, I took you in-"] ["It's not OK, son"] ["-but don't that mean something?"] ["A little"] ["Do I admire people too much?"] ["No You should do better"] ["That disappoints you"] ["God damn regrets!"] ["You deserve to die alone for what you've done!!"] ["GOD DAMN REGRETS!"] ["Don't deny it"] ["You cocksucker, I know you're here."] ["Don't deny it"] ["I want you to know I hate your fucking guts."] ["The biggest regret in my life"] ["I wish you'd fucking die."] ["I've let my love go"] ["I'm your blood I'm your family"] ["Is that you?"] ["You're not my family, not anymore"] ["The fucking regrets!"] ["When your own flesh and blood renounces you..."] ["What did I do?"] ["...you have no choice but to renounce them."] ["WHAT DID I DO?!"] On and on and on and on it goes Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, cold How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the balls to blame this shit on me Never in my life have I seen someone So fucking blind to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree

Great video and everyone sounds great! The only thing I don't like is when LaBrie says "Don't cross the crooked step!" It's my favorite part on the album, but here it sounds weird.

[@McDiddy9999]

@bleh151 He didn't miss a note, the keyboard note just misplaced itself due to The Wizards shredding

[@MAGAMAN]

I love the parts where Labrie and Portnoy are singing and both of them are trying to hit the right pitch and failing.

LOL true

[@josie1776]

Not true. LaBrie is totally right pitched. He is singing the backing vocals. The lead on the chorus is being sing by Portnoy.
