Jordan uses a footswitch to change sounds

[@felipecampos3045]

check out instrumedley by dream theater live from budokan, you guys will understand how crazy jordan is

[@musikbyjh]

Awesome, thanks for the suggesting, @felipecampos3045!!! We needed this to kick off our Dream Theater reaction adventure!!! Appreciate you. - jillian

[@alonglkr3216]

would be an awesome journey into dream theater to go through with ya'll @@musikbyjh

[@rebeccarose7405]

That was so much fun, and my Prog loving heart was taken away! I'd love to see more like this! ❤🎶

[@jhawkkw87]

Jordan is a piano virtuoso genius. His skill was noticed young as he was accepted into one of the top music schools in the country (Juilliard) at the age of 9! He started as a classically trained pianist and made the transition into prog later down the road. Fun fact, he actually did a Band Aid commercial back in 1971 at the age of 14 where they show him playing Edvard Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4uph4R4nshkm80.

[@musikbyjh]

Amazingly talented and gifted. We have an upcoming Dream Theater reaction coming you will like (we hope!).

[@cynthiamiller483]

I love piano and I have to say WoW!!! I’ve been subscribed for a while now and highly recommend this channel!!! Jeremy and Jillian are metal lovers, but they are also open to so many genres. Hit the subscribe button and the bell…you don’t want to miss a thing. I’m such a fan and will continue to watch your channel for as long as I’m able. Loved this today. I’m up for more! 🎶 Cyd

[@musikbyjh]

Awesome! Thank you for believing in us and helping spread the word about our channel, Cyd!!! ❤️

[@anelkaortega6734]

to be honest, i do not believe someone is FAN of Animals As Readers but NEVER heard of Jordan Rudess..

[@musikbyjh]

All good, friend! One of the reasons we love this channel is all the new music we've been introduced to and can then introduce others too. We have a Dream Theater reaction coming soon - think you'll like this!!

[@jaymacdonnell4730]

The piano and choir patches almost make it sound like a Steve Vai song

[@jaysasak]

Love the video & since you're already down the rabbit hole, guess now you guys have to react to Dream Theater songs.

[@musikbyjh]

💯!!

[@Zealdave2223]

That was fantastic and he has brilliant skills, in fact that's Rainman level. 🤯🤯

[@musikbyjh]

Absolutely....totally blew our minds. THANK YOU for watching and the comment!! Glad you are here,

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

That song actually sounded a bit like Dream Theater to my layman's ears, it suited him very well, and he put his own flavour to it. That was cool, I love Dream Theater! Speaking of prog and Dream Theater, have you heard Ayreon? It's a project by Arjen Anthony Lucassen, he writes proggy metal operas, inviting different artists and members of other bands. He has a song called The Day That the World Breaks Down, featuring 11 singers (if I remember correctly), and James LaBrie of Dream Theater is one of them, he is actually the first to appear in the song. The MV is a fun watch, where he introduces all the singers, and writes some trivia about the song, the story, and the instruments used.

[@musikbyjh]

Hey friend!!! You are so right on that...I think Animals as Leaders was likely very influenced by Dream Theater. We don't know that with certainty, but seems that way. Nope, we haven't heard of Ayreon (as far as I know?!). Appreciate the suugestion for "The Day The World Breaks Down"...sounds like a FUN video!!!

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

@@musikbyjh Yes, it felt very proggy. I think so too, though I have to admit, I don't know anything about Animals as Leaders, other than that it's a cool name for a band! Yes, it's a very entertaining video, it even has a little surprise thrown in at the end. If I understand it correctly, Arjen himself is a bit shy, and isn't on stage very often, I think he even said that he didn't think his music would ever be played live, but I am glad he was wrong. He seems to be into sci-fi, his "metal operas" seem to often have that theme. He has another project, called Star One.

[@musikbyjh]

@@Pascal-the-Rascal the cool and unique thing about Animals as Leaders is, its a 3 piece. Two 8-String Guitar players, and a drummer. Matter of fact, their main guitarist/songwriter, Tosin Abasi, made John Petrucci say "that's wild!" when showing him a few techniques. I highly reccomend checking Animals as Leaders out. Also, they're strictly instrumental.

[@galleryvideolucu7185]

Jordan is music professor

[@rtrooperw8115]

If you’re a musician and don’t know who Jordan Rudess or Dream Theater is, something is not right. Just saying….

[@musikbyjh]

So...anyone who says they're a musician should know every musician that is talented and has been in a big band, even when they were never remotely interested in that band? Got it. Makes sense. 🙄
