Planet X Rehearsal - March 2010

[@felipealbertoarancibiavene6131]

Virgil Donati, Doug Shreeve, Derek Sherinian and Tony McAlpine, please reunite and play Planet X songs again. We really miss you.

[@basslobster]

Doug Shreeve is total beast. Love his growly sound.

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

I freaking love Snuff. One of my favorite Planet X songs.

Man, I just can't stop watching the Alien Hip Hop section, when Doug starts playing around with the ostinato. What a great add to the lineup.

[@PachankaDunk]

it is very difficult nowadays to find musicians who are willing to do music for the pleasure of overcoming their limits and not just to overcome some extra cash

[@FrancescoPirrone]

It is very difficult to earn money making music.

[@DoktorDamage]

@@FrancescoPirrone Especially this kind, which not many can relate to because it's not "simple" LOL. This is wayyy above most in society LOL. I love this stuff, and I am a simple rock guitar player. It inspires me to get better.

[@FrancescoPirrone]

@@DoktorDamage I love this music too, Markus.

[@MundoMundanoTV]

@@DoktorDamage im 24. I have played guitar for almost 15 or 16 years. I am way above average in my guuitar playing, mostly because of practising 4 or 5 hours a day.... and im sitting looking at this guy play bass and i dont get a fucking clue of whats going on. I love it

[@マシュードーラン]

@@FrancescoPirrone I’d pay to see the original lineup play together again. As would many people I’m more than sure

[@マシュードーラン]

Planet X really needs to come back. I’ve been listening since the first album and if somehow Virgil, Tony and Derek can come back together for one more album I could die happy! I don’t think you guys realize just how much people out there love what you did together and how much we cherish the material we’ve been gifted. Don’t keep us waiting in vain

[@yuminca]

Sounds good Doug!! You are awesome~!! :)

[@0118981]

sheer unobtainable genius, nice one guys!

[@topcturvee1]

TOTAL AWESOMENESS !! Thanks for posting !! Love these guys !!!!!!

[@jimhaglund597]

vitruoso level over 9000!

[@seppesai]

the greatest planet X video i've seen! it makes me hallucinate with the idea of a DVD *O* Virgil you're the best

[@CostasKletsides]

Nothing I can say... Just a huge thanks to Virgil and the mighty Planet X!

[@jeffperry5793]

great cool down.....awesome!! thanks

[@GEORGEPANAMADRUMS]

Hey Virgil you have a very stunning Pearl drumkit.. love it! and great inspiration as always! Thank you for posting this video! cheers!!! :)

[@MindstormRecords]

Virgil just operates on a completely different level than any other drummer on the planet and for that he's the best, he's the Victor Wooten of drummers

[@sgguru3191]

Great! Nice and tight. Can't wait for the tour.

[@Manmadrum]

Thanks Virgil, you're the best ;)

[@LeslieWolf71]

amazing! these guys are simly magicians!

[@claudinhomendonca2329]

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Overwhelming musicianship !

[@FrankTdrumz]

FANTASTIC!

[@lexiebabasek]

omg, you guys are so fantastic... We're still waiting for your new stuff! Each album is a cosmic jewel, each composition is encarboned in my brain synapses)) Your version of metal fusion has got the most SOUL to it! And hey, you've got to team up with Holdsworth again!

[@TheJkirsch]

virgil donati is outstanding! i met him at a clinic in portsmouth like 7 years ago and he was very down to earth and helpful. not to mention an amazing technician, thumbs up!

[@BilletMetalCraft]

Unbelievable! I listen to Planet X all the time and I just can't believe that there are musicians this talented. Just listening to them is a mental workout. Virgil makes me want to pick up some drumsticks and give up all at once.

[@corisbriollo]

WOWWW , sin palabras. lo max entre lo max. THE BEST......

[@mpb68]

Looking good Doug!

[@jsgovind]

insane jam!

[@loucaballero2762]

Great Stuff!!!

[@prograven4844]

wow sweet jam

[@Bowl01986]

magic!

[@slrnoise]

that drum set is gorgeous

[@PoSscar]

amazing how he makes this crazy stuff sound pocket-y

[@freakydrummerpro]

i can see this video over and over again :D i think planet X must record a live DVD pretty soon !

[@jaimezarate6380]

increible! miel honey!

[@TTveit87]

this is so tight and complex!

[@xiauww]

Love This SO Much :)

[@runningfromcomfort]

Purely godly

[@germanprog]

insane!

[@jerryboone1093]

Beyond BAD ASS

[@drumschoolstickaround]

Wow!

[@rodrigozirpoli5027]

Wow! I didn’t know that Steven Wilson was the Planet X’s bass player! Well done!

[@melkduarte_]

He was one of those who played

[@LOLOKAKASOSO]

this is called talent

[@kami0320kou]

Sharp!!

[@Meteorotaki]

well, can't wait to see them on the european tour

[@xevastra]

im glad too actually...

[@TheFerdrumxbox]

yeeaaa AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

[@gezielsantanna]

comcordo com vcs ele é espacial

[@fenixdeejay]

@hubertous That's the point, When Derek went out with his solo album "Planet X", he wanted to show a vision "beyond this planet" could understand, i gets really deep into a space enviromental thing, that's why it has to be weird, you don't even have to understand it, just feel it! it's a whole new experience you won't listen to in your whole life ever again!

[@FrankDeCoster-FrakkeZeroOne]

f**kin awesome !!!

[@Niteblub]

Doug look's like a mix of an Elf Alien warrior!

[@bindoy]

Jordan Rudess to Virgil Donati: "I can tell you eat these stuff for lunch"

[@マシュードーラン]

Correction for Jordan* Jordan Rudess to an alien: “I can tell you’re not from this planet”

[@Matt_Holcomb]

@Guitareben smooth jazzy feel with lots of good time sig changes an very good doubles is the best i can discribe it

[@dougmorato]

Does anyone believe humankind will be able to understand such music before 2100???? These guys are aliens 👽👽👽

[@madderbass]

Man, the bass player makes it look so easy!

[@ricaard]

@DavidPartay Some people can only hear soul in a pentatonic scale, or only in a 7th chord, or only at a certain tempo...and only in 4/4 time...they can accept nothing else as having heart, because that's all they know, or are conditioned to relate to. It's okay, others can show it to them later, or someone else can get it...

[@stalehvrenna7]

This is the best fucken band on the face of this planet

[@TheJombur]

They thawed out the bass player from a block of ice that floated down from the arctic ice shelf.

[@Chrime71]

looking at time signatures guys come from beyond the Olympus of deep space 😀

[@bindoy]

this guy is the real all-time drummer

[@Jono_]

mind asplode. that was crazy technical! Five stars! or I guess now its 1 Thumb up....

[@adriangel143]

thanks!...I'm really struggling to count this...or at least trying to hear the first beat of each time signatures

[@santyrush]

Amazing music.. The music that I wanted to play.. 😂

[@jonsilence]

Apparently this monster of a bassist Doug Shreeve is no longer playing :(

[@AlexandarShmex]

That is a real shame if true. Do you know why?

[@jonsilence]

@@AlexandarShmex: He apparently just decided to walk away from it all :(

[@HjalmarGuitarMaster]

This jam has got plenty of soul in it!:D It ain't a Jeff Beck solo but Jeff isn't the only one around who's got soul.

[@allmetaliswelcome]

@DonatiStudent i checked out the music and it sounds like you guys are using ezdrummer for drums...

[@adriangel143]

I have a question...The number after x, for example 9/16 x 3...does x 3 means repeat 9/16 3 times?

[@jameskirkbydrums]

yep :)

[@Sid-uc5ms]

@@jameskirkbydrums 7 years too late unfortunately

[@bokajon]

This is called practice.

[@qoxohifo]

ahhh when is the new album out

[@gringochucha]

Musicians' musicians.

[@mmaier2112]

I'm still annoyed that I didn't find out about Virgil's recent clinic here in Indianapolis until after the fact. He KILLS in clinic! I think the last time I saw him was 98, back before he was really well-known. Virgil, you rule!

[@ridersofdeath]

DAT BASSS

[@sasix79]

virgil dear, would you like a place in dream theater?

[@victor706103]

Alien bass line!!!

[@j2112c]

I would like to see what their version of Smoke on the Water would sound like.

[@jsgovind]

@GonzoDrummer27 i feel like quitting bass! xD

[@jameskirkbydrums]

i know you may not remember virgil, and i know i a bit late to the party, but do you know what snare it was you were using? it looks like a brass one with tube lugs but im not sure. thanks :)

[@handler803]

DT made one hell of a mistake when they chose Mangini over Donati. To be honest, here are my top 3 could have been DT drummers. 1) Virgil Donati 2) Blake Richardson 3) Terry Bozzio

[@TheFacelessTwo]

You gotta love how chipmunk Virgil cheered at 03:41 :)

[@libernull]

@TheJombur what's that supposed to mean?

[@stalehvrenna7]

@Slipstream0001 I know planet x are the shit. They are making an album it should be out soon

[@drummermikerocks1]

whats the song at 0:20?

[@Cutteray]

awesome job \m/ you were the best from dreamtheater audition.. but its great you did not join them cos then it will be like a colorful bird locked in a plan cage

[@affablegiraffable]

@irwin3036able I think the styles were just too different. I could never see DT writing something like kingdom of dreams, even though they could definitely play something like that.

[@pr192001]

I just don't see how Dream Theater Passed him up or Marco for that matter

[@flanzashreddah]

I don't see where second-nature could possibly come from when the music is this complicated, years n years I suppose.

[@antibulletdodger101]

is this a garage band?

[@Guitareben]

According to Mike Mangini, DT is very much about the music.

[@hubertous]

Interesting but I can't listen to it longer than 5 minutes, sorry:) Too many time changes make this really weird.

[@Canonall]

His talent is bigger than those drums

[@davidpardy]

@skinnymoo Well it could simply be that these guys have and feel soul in a different way to that of which you're accustomed. It's not soulless at all to me. Especially when you understand these musicians have poured their lives and SOULS into their instruments. It's not just a physical thing.

[@rmsolympic1]

@Niteblub more like long haired brave from planet pandora

[@affablegiraffable]

that was siick

[@roki92]

in my opinion this is great... really tallented people, but it seems that they try to play difficult stuff just to show off... i mean, haven´t they got a normal 4/4 song in their repertory? It sometimes sounds not musically, only some mathematical things....

[@SeanStephensen]

@irwin3036able virgil is my favorite drummer, but he's to virgil for dream theater. He tore it up, but he didn't fit the style. So I'm glad DT didn't take him. And no way blake would've left BTBAM.

[@MaestroReggi]

@irwin3036able Thomas Lang forever ;)

[@85Aheadstix]

Hahaha, im sure BOzzio could could telepathically play the drums, hes that good.

[@xevastra]

haters = frustrated ignorants... sad but people like those exist.

[@xevastra]

Virgil is BEYOND DT , thats why they didnt chose him. even petrucci made a HUGE efort to recognize that Virgil was an animal. DT got stuck and they only want to make money to keep feeding and i dont judge them but DT isnt about music anymore.

[@yakovenkoanatoly]

Jednou někdo řekl, že jazzrock je těžce nestravitelný pro posluchače. To platí dodnes a jsem za to rád. Virgilova hudba není pro posluchače, trpící žaludečními problémy, chachacha !!

[@xevastra]

then Mike is a bit lost ( with all respect )

[@jono5428]

3 bars of 9/16
