Dream Theater - Hollow Years (REACTION) with my wife

[@aaronherbison7316]

You just witnessed one of the greatest solos from one of the greatest guitarists on the planet

[@AttilaHun-p9e]

One of the best guitar solo ever.... and he plays this live.. amazing... many players can play fast.but all noise and random notes...but John Petrucci is one of a few rare guitar player that can make anyone cry while playing lighting fast... such a Legend

[@twoja5stara]

Dream Theater -The Best Of Times, best emocional song ever

[@Santiago_Aguilar]

Yes, they should react to this one 100% the studio version is just fantastic! You guys will love it

[@Djcimofficial]

I also agree with this song choice

[@andrewforrest9980]

Joh Petrucci lays down one of the greatest guitar solos you could ever hope to hear. The emotion of the song just pours out in the solo. Stupendous talent, and one of the best live solos ever.

[@stevenlemons2602]

"when you know what you are doing. you know what you are doing." Perfect for dream theater

[@KyleS.1987]

I absolutely love their Budokan DVD. The whole band was just killing it that night.

[@mark.castellani]

Would be interesting a dive into the more “metal” side of Dream Theater. Songs like The Glass Prison, Endless Sacrifice, Panic Attack, In The presence of enemies…but the best thing to do is listen to the full concept album “Metropolis pt2: Scenes From a Memory”. A timeless masterpiece.

[@moonchildah]

Never have I seen a better comment on youtube

[@Starrz88]

All of these songs are great choices. I would also add Pull Me Under

[@lolowylol]

And the another Awesome song - Lie 😎

[@rodneyhearne3405]

Such a delight to see you both enjoying your exposure to Dream Theater. Each member is a world class musician, and they are very diverse in their musical compositions. They sit comfortably in the prog metal genre. That voice you love is the singer James LaBrie and he does have a beautiful sensitive voice. Ironically, many people in the metal world are not fond of it because he is not the stereotypical vocal styling for meta. Without a doubt over the last 25 years DT is the band I have seen in concert the most and I really love their work. Thank you for enjoying and sharing your reactions!

[@MechMonstrosity]

Whoever is recommending these songs to you is doing an incredible job. I hate when people recommend the hard-core progressive stuff right off the bat. These songs you've reacted to by DT were all amazing introductory songs to the band. Love the reaction, keep it up you guys!

[@MetalMann-de3xi]

This is one of my favorite live performances from Dream Theater. James Labrie did a pretty good job, Petrucci nailed that solo, and the one thing that usually goes underappreciated in this is Jordan Rudess's lick to close the song out.

[@rtrooperw8115]

More DT!!! Breaking All Illusions!!!!

[@nexuslang]

John Petrucci is indeed "the guy"! I've seen them 8-9 times, and each time I've situated myself to the right of the stage, in front of John. I get a good vantage point of the other band members because you can't miss Jordan's antics or Mike's (both Portnoy and Mangini) craziness on drums, or John Myung's sheer dominance of the 6-string bass. But Petrucci's always front & center in my book - no other guitar player alive comes close. Oh, they're coming to Madrid on Nov. 17th for their 40th anniversary tour, and even though I live near Barcelona (700 km away), nothing on this earth can make me miss their reunion with Portnoy after 13 years being separated from the band!!!

[@moonwoman]

Such a great song, I had the pleasure of meeting the singer, James LaBrie a few years back. He's a lovely down to earth guy. Each band member is spectacular.

[@gregcormier2379]

James Labrie is the singers name. You are correct he does emote the lyrics which fits with music brilliantly.

[@johansjoberg8388]

They also have long epic songs (20 min plus) that include both soft melodic parts and heavy metal parts, with a little more rawer vocals. The mix is perfect!!! The best two examples are according to me: -A change of seasons - Illumination Theory

[@marcilesko1058]

Amaizing Song, amaizing band! Thank You!

[@pabloc1935]

I wish I was you to discover again their discography… cant wait for more DT reactions from you!! Greetings from Spain (yes the beggining has spanish vibes but spanish guitar sounds way different to this one)

[@ryant3600]

I have this concert on DVD and Blue Ray, and I've watched this performance probably at least 50 times or more and I've seen them play this live and every time that solo hits, my eyes water.. So good..

[@oranggila1342]

Dream theater - the best of times

[@YouPrem-uz7xv]

Next The Best Of Time Dream Theater🙏🙏

[@jhosientaruc]

I love your reaction so natural

[@ahmadrizky843]

More dream Theater 🔥

[@dlwitt]

Absolutely love this DT song. As an avid musician and lover of music, my two favorite bands of all time are Dream Theatre and Tool. Sheer talent and just hit the soul differently

[@thelastdisease]

I love that Dream Theater's music touches you guys the same way it does for me. Their live performances are truly spectacular. I can't wait to see your reactions to more of their songs. I would love to see what you think of some of DT's harder pieces like As I Am, Forsaken, or Peruvian Skies.

[@jcfmfd]

You should react to Dream theater - Count of Tuscany.... the ending of this song is simply EPIC

[@markjurysabatinorusso-db2xl]

Thanks!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you for your support!

[@cunjoz]

every single channel that reacts to DT, they always react differently, more genuinely, more authentically, and you guys are no exception.

[@rtrooperw8115]

James is an amazing singer!🙏🏻

[@psionic6126]

You deserve a sub guys, you felt it right? That's the magic of DT. Once they touched your heart and soul, you can't ignore them right? This band is so outstanding. Different from anything else, like you can't really out them into a specifc category. They make music for the sake of it and nothing else. No attitude, no BS from those guys.

[@onomatopie1]

John Petrucci got guitar lessons from Steve Vai... apparently, it worked out quite well;)

[@AttilaHun-p9e]

Sorry but when was he Steve Vai's student?? R u joking? Lol.

[@onomatopie1]

@@AttilaHun-p9e hm... come to think of it, don't know how I came up with that;) would have been awesome though;) my bad....

[@marcoserranopalacios9845]

Bands that transcend, are those that sound better live and dream theater is not an exception.. legendary!!

[@Michael.h.a]

This is one my favorite songs, specially this version, thanks. Next song is... The best Of times by Dream Theater, Please.

[@andykereztury1450]

John Petrucci : Guitar God!

[@pitpistol]

I've seen them Live and it sounds like hearing a super audio cd 🤯

[@jakemaattanen]

Singer introduced him: Mr. John Petrucci. That solo isn’t in the studio version. It’s like the whole mood of the song shifts in the second part and something bad happens. A bit, a small bit, like a motorcycle crash in the middle of the Bat out of Hell solo.

[@Chris.Antoine]

The moment you realize that most of the live solos are improvised 🤯

[@peterswelt8272]

Welcome to the journey with Dream Theater, with a great pool of surprises.

[@beshuro]

It's John Petrucci on guitar and important thing about Dream Theater is that they are perfect live. Please do react to Under A Glass Moon (Score Live) and Octavarium

[@johansjoberg8388]

At this point you have only chosen ballads from Dream Theater (and their ballads are so good). They do have a lot of very heavy songs as well. Try one of those songs next time for a change. Example of some of their best heavy songs: - Caught in a Web - Honor Thy Father - Under a Glass Moon - The Glass Prison - Enemy Inside - Fall into the Light - The Alien - The Shattered Fortress - As I am - Endless Sacrifice - Peruvian Skies ... just for mentioning a few Keep up the good work!!! Loving your Dream Theater reactions!!! More Dream Theater, more!!!😊 /Johan from Sweden

[@amirpeyman3109]

Hahahaha saw what you did not including metropolis and dance of eternity as regular reaction songs 😉

[@filo72sf17]

And.... they are always flawless, since ever

[@johnnorman7180]

If you liked that intro part you should check out "An evening with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess" it is an album with just the guitar player and Keyboardist.

[@calibadgerdude6082]

I’m glad you’re loving the softer side of DT, which often gets ignored because their harder songs are iconic, but their ballads are just as good! Some say this isn’t the “real” dream theater, but they have at least one or two ballad type songs on each album, so this is just as “real”. That being said, it would be great to see you experience some of their harder offerings as well. A good blend before you get into their truly epic prog masterpieces would be songs like Home, Dying Soul, Misunderstood, On the Backs of Angels, In The Name of God, or Solitary Shell. A lot of people are going to be asking for Dance of Eternity, Octavarium, Count of Tuscany, Glass Prison, Change of Seasons, etc, and don’t get me wrong they’re all fantastic epic songs, but be aware that they are very long compositions and very intricate in their story telling and music so they represent a significant investment of time and effort to delve into. It is a worthwhile deep dive, but be ready for it. XD

[@felipecampos3045]

Now you guys need to listen to instrumedley live at budokan next 🤟😉

[@JavierPereiraCanovacas]

Nadie toca mas bonito que John Petrucci

[@-LOST-eb5xz]

I think the two of you should dedicate the next month with reacting to Dream Theater only. They certainly have enough songs plus I can tell you’re fans just after hearing 3.

[@taluckderriam5929]

Guys next time check out Under a glass moon live score 2006 by Dream Theater or if you really want to see how instrumentally insane these guys are, then check out Dance of Eternity live at the Boston Opera House. The guy on the guitar is John Petrucci. One of the most technical modern guitarist out there if not the best. Not just John Petrucci everyone here is a living legend!

[@ReneChabot-pd4lq]

Please try Anathama, Flying live

[@gothexs1]

I suggest Illumination theory live,for your Dream Theater Journey

[@marcinzych645]

Cześć Dominika, Hi Andrei! :) Wasze dotychczasowe reakcje na piosenki Dream Theater nie maja sobie równych na KZbin, a uwierzcie mi widzialem chyba wszystkie :) Przede wszystkim przemawia przez was milosc do artyzmu, do twórczości pełnej emocji. Jest jeden święty graal związany z muzyką Dream Theater, "Scenes from New York, Metropolis 2000" Gdy obejrzycie ten koncert szczeki Andrei nie da sie juz podnieść z podłogi :) Trzymam za was kciuki. Pozdrowienia z Polski :)

[@Woodgate8]

The best. Petrucci is the one. 🎸

I'm so excited to see you both enjoy my all time favourite Progressive Metal band. I think it's time for another emotional song but with more power. The song "Sacrificed Sons" Live. Dream Theater frontman James LaBrie wrote the lyric to "Sacrificed Sons," which is a reflection on the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City. At the beginning you hear clips from news coverage of the event. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2mbZYOPdsuin9ksi=lw_6JZ_AbPWsXRpY

[@hendrapablo9802]

Guitar sound makw me cry..

[@MarcVanLaere-zr5im]

3 bands. Dream Theater, Rush, Marillion ❤👍🤘

[@emsinelo]

More dream theater, please 😊

[@OrangeMonkey2112]

The album this is from was different from h thier previous stuff. This is one of my very favorite Dream Theater songs.

[@qiqinsquad5767]

Nice reaction, really,,you guys need to react one of their greatest song, Octavarium ( live score - 2006 ) , it will be awesome

[@diegoalbertolopezsilva2619]

The ministry of Lost Souls. Dream Theater. 🙏🏼

[@nikospantelis6492]

Since i have seen which dream theater songs you like, i suggest you listen to these next Breaking all illusions Barstool warrior Lines in the sand Through her eyes The best of times Blind faith Surrender to reason Sleeping giant I am pretty sure you will love all of them. And then there are their most crazy, heavy and longer songs, like Metropolis pt1 The glass prison A change of seasons Lie Home Octavarium In the name of God And many many more Welcome to Dream Theater fanclub!

[@antoniocarlin5026]

3 DT songs and 3 ballads? jajajaja... You need react to The Dance of Eternity.

[@markjurysabatinorusso-db2xl]

I would like to make a suggestion for your reaction ,since you find James LaBrie ,vocalist for Dream Theater soulful ,and very feeling of every word he sings ( which I agree with) He has a few solo releases ,and side projects ,that are very good listens , but one in particular is with "FRAMESHIFT" ,BY Henning Pauly ,off the "UNWEAVING THE RAINBOW " release ,and the song "LA MER",a concept album which Henning wrote specifically for James' vocal ability,that deals with DNA and genetics. Its truly worth the listen. Thank you, Mark.

[@aaronherbison7316]

Guitarist is John Petrucci

[@OrangeMonkey2112]

This was a great album. Different from their other albums, but amazing still

[@harragrew]

Your reactions ❤ "The Best Of Times" next, please!

[@hiufernando7340]

Next "Through her eyes" from Dream Theater

[@blackchanel6690]

Bahkan ini versi terbaik dari pada album studio.aku merasa sangat emosional mendengar lagu ini.terlebih di part solo jhon petrucci

[@sarcasmoassholio4208]

Guys, DT is top notch. Try reacting to Devin Townsend - Death Of Music live at Royal Albert Hall. His vocal abilities will knock your mama out lol...

[@markjurysabatinorusso-db2xl]

Ive just contributed to your "thanks" page . Would like to be a Patreon. I have quite a few suggestions that Id love to hear your reactions to. I am a recording musician from New York ,and California ,and I find your reacts very insightful ,and from the heart.

[@moonchildah]

Enough ballads already. Do one of the epics next. Love your reactions. 🫶🤘

[@AttilaHun-p9e]

9:38 he is the God * 🤭😎 Guys if you liked this song you should absolutely watch THROUGH HER EYES LIVE SCENES FROM NEW YORK .. you will love it trust me !BUT dont forget to react live NY version.. Search as THROUGH HER EYES LIVE SCENES FROM NEW YORK..

[@fifi23o5]

Only 1% of people know their music and almost all of them are big fans. In absolute nombets they are not that big, but in relative, they are the kings. You won't find the audience more loyal than theirs! Never and nowhere! DT don't have a very large audience, but they have the most loyal audience ever.

[@Jeraumina]

Je vous conseille : The count of toscany, un chef d oeuvre a ecouter, j imagine que les fans de DT vous l'offriront, mais c'est un long morceau !

[@cristianfernandez1812]

Recommend Dream theater " Endless sacrifice" live Budokan the best performance...desde Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🐍🇦🇷🐍🐍🐍🐍🇦🇷🇦🇷🐍🇦🇷🐍🐍🇦🇷🐍🇦🇷

[@masasigometalsirenoman9389]

Pls react to (the Best of times) dream theater

[@filo72sf17]

John Petrucci, one of the best on Earth

[@captainmorgan1978]

THIS, friends, THIS is how you introduce people to Dream Theater! NOT Octavarium, NOT Dance of Eternity...NO!!!!! STOP DOING IT!!!!!...Start with choices such as these...

[@captainmorgan1978]

Next do Once in a Livetime mid section :) Or To Live Forever Tokyo!

Guys these songs are amazing but they are no very representative of DT's catalog. You should listen to songs like metropolis pt 1 or take the time to start with them.

[@tomcruisejerawatan7377]

Van halen _ dreams 😊please

[@ace2guitar]

John Petrucci

[@51nw]

OMG! There are TONS of epic dream theater songs yet all these saps keep recommending all these slow girl ballads. Pick a few on your own and listen to the REAL dream theater.

[@jhosientaruc]

I love your reaction so natural
