My Favorite Songs: Dream Theater - The Dance of Eternity

[@observer4916]

First song I learned on drums. It's a nice little warm up beat to play before the real stuff like Enter Sandman, Seven Nation Army etc.

[@78moonie]

lol I know what you mean. those quarter notes in seven nation just overwhelm me after awhile.

[@giveitarub7215]

I play this song on drums at 2x speed to warm up Then I really sweat afterwards when i tear up The Hardest Button to Button, can only play that at .5x though, fast ass song :/

[@luhgeekerr516]

the real stuff...enter sandman...seven nation army...dude I don't even play drums and I can play those songs XD try him Sawyer by rush or hot for teacher by van Halen if you want "real" stuff XD

[@Gregathan501]

Akhin What makes you say that?

[@Akhin]

This song doesn't have 105 different time signatures. Just look at a tab or something.

[@Gregathan501]

Akhin Just finished doing so.. I counted 107 time signature changes- admittedly I'm not the best at reading music so i might be off by a few. It is definitely over 100 though :) We might be miscommunicating- theres over 100 time signature changes, but it only uses like 5 different time signatures.

[@ZUGZUGGERING]

*Ø no it doesn't. Time signatures aren't relative to your opinion

[@Idonotsa49]

Ethan Smith But it can be written different ways, maybe one person writes alternating bars of 2/4 and 3/4 instead of 5/4, so it does depend on interpretation

[@dylanthibodeau6758]

xfritz5375 not necessarily, it would be be more likely that if the phrase fits into 5/4 it would be written in 5/4. Counting in the alternating 2/4 3/4 bars would be more work for the musician instead of just counting in 5/4, if the musical phrase works with it

There's a famous old old jazz piece called "Blue Rondo a la Turk" that you should listen to if you like this piece. A lot of progressive music like this was influenced by it.

[@VikSun14618]

Well prog is inspired by Jazz. Jazz at its peak was popluar for its unpredictability. Prog is just a more extreme version of it.

[@sourceeee]

5:43 this part is beautiful and is something I’ve never heard been replicated or done similarly by other bands to my knowledge, as well as most areas of this song. The drumming is bombastic, technical but not overbearing and it’s unpredictable in a good way. The arpeggios melding with the drums have a very rich, jazz like quality and the way the keyboards flutter up octaves while the guitar and bass hold down the central part of the groove. It changes keys so rapidly but also has a tonal renter to it, it’s hard to describe

[@sylviaowega3839]

Progress metal songs are always the best. Many melodic and progressive metal bands have the most beautiful and intricate pieces

[@thecompletedluigitwat4827]

THIS SONG SHOULD PLAY IN WESTWORLD

[@gesie0504]

I lost count of my Reps while listening to this Magnificent Masterpiece. ♥ 💪🏻 😎

[@ArtificialDjDAGX]

Sounds like something straight out of "Castlevania: Harmony of Despair" a couple of times.

[@msbatwoman9474]

Just came here to show my appreciation bc i randomly was recommended this song and band. Fucking awesome music! And the comments make the whole experience even better!

[@loquendobk]

Nunca escuché algo tan genial como esto

[@willphippsmedia9091]

I'm not really into heavy metal, I'm a pianist but I fucking love dream theater because Jordan rugess has managed to incorporate keyboards into it and I love it so much!

[@chiefdog6909]

New to dream theatre. This is amazing, its like beethoven but in metal form. Any more masterpieces like this by dream theatre?

[@yesandno6834]

if you like instrumental song, try the 'instrumedley' by them. Or if you want, maybe listen to the entire of this album. Metropolis Pt. 2 : Scenes from a memory. There are a lot of instrumental songs by them though

[@lucacutillidrums]

the alien in their new album is a freaking masterpiece, Awaken The Master is too

[@d.n.3652]

Ever listen to YYZ by Rush?

[@starkiller3098]

Now this is art.

[@nickpaternostro2900]

Just played this song at a talent show at a fair near where I live. I got beat out by a sucky beat boxer who kept messing up and taking breaks, a horrible dancer who just rolled around on the floor, and someone literally saying the Gettysburg Address from remembering it incorrectly. She won by dressing up like Lincoln and she said the Gettysburg Address. Incorrectly. Literally. Shows how cultured people are. lol

[@NikiWonoto26]

Life isn't fair...all because of the hopeless creature / beings / species called Humans...

[@nickpaternostro2900]

Niki Wonoto Seriously, I played the entire thing. No joke. And that shit happened.

[@BarronBrothersFilms]

Man, that sounds like the worst thing in the world. Is there a video of your performance?

[@nickpaternostro2900]

BarronBrothersFilms It is from a really shitty angle and you can't see it...sorry dude. But, you do have my word that I played the entire thing. Did not mess up once. Literally, some girl dressed up like Abraham Lincoln and incorrectly stated the Gettysburg Address incorrectly from memory. She skipped half of it and she still won money for it. Some kid who beatboxed kept messing up, taking breaks, and drinking water. He also overstayed his welcome on stage and was up there for 25 minutes. He ALSO won money. Yet, I play "The Dance of Eternity" cover to cover, and I don't get anything.

[@nickpaternostro2900]

BarronBrothersFilms Not really upset I didn't get anything. I'm just dumbfounded.

[@kartikmishra1041]

That Jazz in the middle gave a shock 😁😂😂😂

[@Muzykjunkie]

4:04-4:11 is shapeless. It's like there's no time at all

[@nehirgunes]

This is beyond, beyond. I am not sure if my body can handle this.

[@lylesargent4863]

Jeez this song changes time signature almost as much a a woman changes her emotions...

[@andylopez0731]

Oh my God I laughed at that

[@christiangasior4244]

If only the music had some of that emotion. This song is as emotional as a sociopath is empathetic.

[@poopyjoe7883]

Christian Gasior if a song is even the least bit technical, somebody will always complain about it being emotionless...

[@Nelcj_99]

hahaHahhahhaHAaH loolz

[@coachmchism]

Lyle Sargent haaa WWWWW !

[@ChristianoMDSilva]

The best duet of John Myung and James La Brie. Phenomenal!
