FIRST TIME HEARING Dream Theater - Another Day REACTION

[@nedrini1055]

This song was written by the guitarist John Petrucci, who wrote it about his father, who was diagnosed with cancer

[@tristramcoffin926]

My dad was buried this week and a teared up listening to this again

@@tristramcoffin926 I’m so sorry for your loss.

[@RobertThurman-c2w]

Forsaken,Pull me under, metropolis pt.1, under a glass moon, un the presence of my enemies. On and on. Deep dive this band. Their catalog is amazing.

[@R777-RLM]

Excellent suggestions. People keep suggesting ballads; even though he always says he's not into them.

[@foxyjp100]

Good suggestions to start with songs from Images and Words but I would have to pick Home Just love that track.

[@nedrini1055]

Every member of this band a virtuoso at their instruments

[@brycejackson9232]

This is one of their ballads. Dream Theater has been producing music for a long time and pull me under is a good song to start with.

[@GCOE63]

YES!!!! You finally got to Dream Theater! Pull Me Under is a great song to do! You need to do a deep dive into this band.

[@lawrencedavis4406]

This is one of DT's ballads...a better example of their more prog-metal tracks is "Pull Me Under"...

[@ricksmith5277]

"As I Am" is a major kick ass song and the guitar and drums in that song are something to behold!

[@mikepollock6235]

This is my go to, aside from Pull Me Under, when suggesting DT tunes. I am also partial to the entire Octovarium album, and think Never Enough or Sacrificed Sons are great introductions to their music.

[@nicoletripp2257]

“Pull me Under”. Best song…Heavy Rock…Outstanding.These guys are such great musicians.

[@ezed3902]

This is the first song I heard from them. Saw them at garden state ampitheater.

[@nancysmith8626]

My introduction to them and I immediately bought the album after hearing it. It didn't disappoint!

[@dianemadigan3252]

Pull Me Under was their only radio hit!

[@Zone_Ranger]

If you do “Pull me Under”, don't do the [official video] version since it is a cut version. The full song is 8+ minutes long

[@nicoletripp2257]

8 min is best….James Lebrie hitting that phrase acappella “watch the sparrow falling” for a few seconds on 2nd verse is just awesome. His voice is so crisp

[@brianshertzer1327]

Pull me under. This was a big hit for them and has an edgy sound mixed with great progressions. Kudos!

[@mr33wmg]

"Pull Me Under" is a MUST HEAR!!!

[@cyradus]

Wow, they look like babies in this video. What is this, like 30 years ago? "Surrounded" is a really good expression of their prog rock.

[@seansavage4766]

surrounded has always been a favorite from this time. but man, we have to send J a rocker

[@ACWraith]

Dream Theater is a progressive metal band. This song is a ballad.

[@maestrojon]

Images & Words, still my favorite album from Dream Theater. This is the main ballad off this album. You guys will love everything off of it, I think. That is Jay Beckenstein from the group Spyro Gyra on the soprano saxophone. They recorded this album at his studio and he appeared as a guest on this song. Pull Me Under was their biggest hit off this album, and I think is still the biggest hit they've ever had, despite being a band still touring with a huge cult following. I would love to see your reaction to Metropolis Pt. 1.

[@nancysmith8626]

Pull Me Under was definitely their one big radio hit from this album. But the whole thing is fantastic.

[@HollowGolem]

Yeah, this record is my favorite, too. "Surrounded," "Metropolis Part I," "Glass Moon," "Pull Me Under" are all so great.

[@joelhammond4162]

I saw them live for this tour and it was incredible. They weren’t that big yet, so it was a small club, but it was such a great way to see these master musicians. Loved it! ❤ 🔥 🤘

[@MrChoobsabre]

Still one of my favorite albums period

[@Alix777.]

of course it has to be the ballad lol

[@Lemons66]

You've struck gold with this band! More please.....Pull Me Under!

[@kpihep]

I just came running when I read Dream Theater 🔥 next song: Metropolis I!

[@leatheredlife4861]

Well... I don't think, this would be a good idea 😆

[@uncle4996]

@@leatheredlife4861why not?

[@leatheredlife4861]

@@uncle4996 Because it is a song for musicians, for prog lovers, for people who enjoy complex and confusing instrumental explosions... of course it is great, but I don't think it is something for people, who prefer normal songstructures. If you bring new people closer to this band, you should start with other songs, which are "easier" to listen to.

[@mikepollock6235]

@@leatheredlife4861 bingo; Metropolis is such a common suggestion for newbies but it's just so difficult to absorb if your palate for this kind of music isn't refined. It's more confusing than anything else, and while it's still one of my favorites of theirs, I think there's gobs of great DT songs that can introduce the uninitiated while not overwhelming or deterring them from continuing the journey.

[@keithcarper8809]

Thats a soprano sax, Amber. Same shape as a clarinet. All amazing musicians here. Prog Metal 👍 ☮💚🎶

[@chrisriley8749]

Probably the most musically gifted band I know!

[@kimxe20]

These guys are virtuoso in their own musical instruments

[@JuanRiojas-j4g]

Can’t believe you’re doing Dream Theater. This is Rush meets Metallica.

[@R777-RLM]

Not this song.

[@nedrini1055]

I’ve always referred to Dream Theater as rush on steroids

[@QuintessenceDubman]

Rush, Yes and the intensity of Metallica, but without Metallica's punk mentality and from the 80s.😅

[@richardcucci8864]

This is not the normal Dream Theater music. This song is NOT progressive. Ballad as you can tell. This is VERY early Dream Theater (DT) 1992. In 1999, they switched keyboard players. The new keyboard player is Jordan Rudess. He went to Juilliard School of Music at age 8. Yes, he's a prodigy. That's when they went full on Prog Metal. They have so many great songs and albums. I will make a suggestion. They did a live album at Luna Park not too long ago. You should react to Metropolis Pt. 1. Live Funny thing is, Metropolis Pt. 1, is from the same album Another Day is. This song is progressive metal at its finest. Another suggestion would be from their sixth studio album, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. First song on the Album is Glass Prison. Absolutely phenomenal song. Check it out guys 😁

[@gargano.13]

Mike Portnoy (the drummer) always said Neil Peart is one of his biggest influences growing up. He's also played for several collaborations who've done tributes to Rush. Also....the other instrument you're hearing is an soprano saxophone....similar to the one Kenny G plays.

[@stevemitchell2839]

Finally dream theater. They have been a band since 85. They are getting ready to tour for their 40th anniversary

[@Abimelech75]

I was a senior in high school when their Images and Words album came out. I skipped school to go buy it at our local mall. Pull Me Under should definitely be the next song you listen to.

[@955080]

“Pull me under” is the song!

[@zeer0squared]

"Take the Time" and "Pull Me Under" got a LOT of MTV play in the day so, it's a lot of people's favorite ones. This is one of their slowest songs, but still elegant.

[@VandelayKavorka]

My all time favorite band along with Fates Warning, Savatage, Devin Townsend. Good heavy songs from Dream Theater "Pull Me Under" "Enemy Inside" "As I Am" "At Wit's End"

[@RichardsDaddy]

YES! So glad you’ve discovered them. Try “Endless Sacrifice” next.

[@CMcIntire]

I've had one of their cd's for nearly 25 years. Scenes from a memory. Absolute gold.

[@jamesgoldman6942]

Fantastic - Thank you -Two of Dream Theaters GREATEST are On The Back Of Angels ( Grammy Nomination ) great video too and the Live Scenes From NY version The Spirit Carries On. These guys are so great. Thanks for playing and giving us your insights of their songs.

FINALLY!!!!! This is my favorite Dream Theater song. Thank you thank you thank you fo reacting to this!

[@Damkohler11]

Massive Dream Theater fan here...there are sooo many songs to explore, really hope you go down that rabbit hole. This song is their slower, softer side, but they have heavy stuff as well. Every musician in this band is phenomenal.

[@williamreiser3118]

Understatement, I've seen the band live 4 times I've met the band 2 times, a progressive metal dream come true to see them with queensryche same night. Both bands played a half hours set together on stage james lebrie sang queensryche songs Geoff Tate sang the dream theater songs incredible

[@jasonzimmerman363]

You may as well listen to the greatest piece of music ever created….Dance of Eternity! You won’t believe what this band can do until you listen and watch that video. I met John Myung and Mike Portnoy while working at FedEx. Very nice guys and hope the reunion goes well!

[@tmr626]

These guy's remind me of the band Giant. They have a terrific rock ballad named "I'll See You In My Dreams."

[@gerardcote8391]

John Myung one of the best Bassists ever. Dream Therater right out of Boston Mass, these guys went to Berkeley College of Music but dropped out to form this band.

[@GSDFanatic1]

They went to Berkeley, but they're from Long Island, NY except for LaBrie who's Canadian.

[@FortCasimirhoney]

I am pretty sure Dream Theater was created in a lab somewhere. They are a musical CLINIC. The musical technical prowess is unmatched.

[@dh2392]

The wind instrument here is a soprano saxophone. Those and the Alto sax are straight like flutes and clarinets. This particular solo was played by Jay Beckenstein of the jazz group Spyro Gyra.

[@nedrini1055]

Oh my God! I don’t know if this is your first time experiencing Dream Theater but you’re in for a treat. They are my favorite band of all time and I can’t wait to see your reaction to this.

[@TheVenge]

Sorry for the double post -- but I had to add: you should also consider "On the Backs of Angels" -- quintessential Dream Theater sound, and between that and "Barstool Warrior" I think it's them at their best. So many good ones in the last decade, but get ready for long songs; DT orchestrates their music to the 9s.

[@dotwarner3609]

FINALLY!!! OMG I have been waiting so long for you to hear this band. Buckle up, Pull Me Under, Metropolis, Take The Time, Waiting for sleep. This album is one of the best ever composed! HAVE FUN!! THAT IS JUST THEIR FIRST ALBUM!!

[@chopps75]

Okay, yes... this is one of their slower songs, and it's from their first album. A better example of their music, from their first album, would be "Pull Me Under" or "Metropolis pt I" either of those would give a much better idea of what the band is about at full speed.

[@ChrisCleek]

2nd album actually. the 1st is called When dream and day unite.

[@MrChoobsabre]

​@@ChrisCleeklove both albums. I can understand why some people don't funk with WDaDU but man it's just such raw Dream Theater. And then there's even the Majesty demos which have some great material

[@mangerinegirl]

I’m so excited you guys are checking out Dream Theater!!! This is definitely one of their more mellow songs. Pull Me Under is a great one, and Learning to Live. Anything from the Awake album also. These guys always take me on a journey.

[@nancysmith8626]

Learning to Live is one of my favorites from that album - just an incredible song!

[@bryanm7953]

This will become one of their favorite bands if they continue listening.

[@nancysmith8626]

Dream Theater had their incredible moment in the sun with their 1992 album Images and Words. I highly recommend setting aside some time and listening to it from start to finish, as it is somewhat of a "concept album." I wore this record out back in the day. Their songs are so rich and complex, it's unreal at times. Ironically one of the best songs on that album is "Wait for Sleep," barely over two minutes long but simply gorgeous.

[@Kalenrath]

For me Dark Eternal Night, Rite of Passage, and Misunderstood are better examples of what Dream Theater is

[@SugahShy]

The woodwind instrument you're hearing is a saxophone. It looks more like a clarinet, but it is a saxophone.

[@ianmitnick8245]

"On the Backs Of Angels" was GRAMMY Nominated by Dream Theater - a great song, and "Bridges In The Sky" is a beautiful Dream Theater song, and "Outcry" and "Home" are very impressive Dream Theater songs - the band formed at Berklee College Of Music in Boston and I myself also went to the music school myself as a drummer and music student - so all Dream Theater songs are impressive!!

[@leomagitz2321]

Dream Theater are an awesome band. I am so happy you gave a reaction to this song. They have so many amazing songs in their catalog, some really rock!!

[@FloridaDude1969]

"Pull me under" started it all. Glad you finally got to Dream theater. Great band and unique sound.

[@Pickles0607]

Went to a concert at Pier 6 Pavillion in Baltimore in July 2003 , Dream Theater and Queensryche, awesome show

[@clintonstapleton161]

What a rabbit hole you just jumped into! Dream Theater is AMAZING! Another album I had on repeat in the early 90’s. Keep looking into this band!

[@theinspiredgardener6434]

I took my teenage son and a few friends to see DT back in the 90’s, awesome concert. I remember the lead singer left the stage while somebody was playing in the spotlight, he missed his cue a few times, finally the drummer, who was clearly pissed off threw his drumstick at him off stage and he suddenly came back out 🤣

[@jasonkadlec3929]

Dream Theater is your favorite band's favorite band.

[@carlstawicki1915]

Is this your first Dream theater reaction? Pull Me Under is more indicative of their style and was the first DT song for a lot of us when we first found them.

[@datisalaee4693]

Totally agree 👍 The song that hooked me was "Wait for Sleep" but Pull Me Under is the one that Everybody remembers the most from the Images & Words album.

[@MisterWondrous]

Cool that they were able to recruit Fabio, with his blowing hair and all!

[@Helferstay]

Pull Me Under, the day music changed for me!

[@robbrennan9229]

The Dance of Eternity is a must!

[@pacard33]

Really great choice-- a masterful song by some really talented musicians. By the way, that's a soprano saxophone that is making that glorious sound. Just a terrific song.

[@victor4truth]

This is a mellow song by Dream Theater.

[@retired4365]

Drums can be tuned. Bonham (drummer Led Zeppelin) tuned his down to get the big sound when he beat the crap out of them.

[@TogonzoMedia]

This album features triggers on the snare, which annoyed the fuck out of Mike Portnoy, but he was in no position to argue with Ertegun ...

[@scottvanhille5688]

Happy Mother's Day Amber! Jordan, your day to shine will be next month. Nice song.

[@VoatGOAT]

The drummer is Mike Portnoy. He plays Tama Starclassic drums, one of the finest drum brands in the world. He uses clear heads on the toms, producing a balance of attack and resonance and tunes in the higher ranges.

[@AndarilhoMarco]

From Dream Theater one of my favourites is Space Dye Vest, from their "Awake" album. And my favourite album from them is "A Change of Season". It's worth checking them out.

[@markpyle3710]

They Have Heavier Songs, Like Pull Me Under, Glass Prison, Constant Motion, As I Am, Dark Eternal Night....So Many GREAT Songs. Some of the Most Talent on one Stage you will ever see. I Have been suggesting Dream theater for a Year Now. I Hope you get into some their heavier stuff.

[@danhurley2274]

Thanx for this great track from Dream Theater!!! They are a progressive metal band based in New York City. This is a ballad from them as they are usually heavier. I have seen them live many times both as Dream Theater and in some solo outings as well. They have been around since 1985 (then known as Majesty), and have 15 studio albums. This track is from their 2nd album Images And Words. They are finishing up a new album and expect to tour the world soon. If they play anywhere near you, go see them!! They are amazing live!

[@bubbaq2019]

Dream Theater is the most underrated band with the biggest sound out there. First song i ever heard from them in the late 90's was "Pull Me Under" and i have been hooked since. SO much talent in this band from every position. If you ever want a Theatrical journey listen to the ablum "Scenes from a Memory", the whole album tells a story about a love triangle, murder, and how a Psychiatrist pulls the memories from the person involved. IT IS AWESOME!

[@chriso6719]

The ballad from their 1992 2nd album, Images and Words. The first record with James LaBrie on vocals. Mike Portnoy on drums , John Petrucci on guitar, bassist John Myung, and original keyboardist Kevin Moore. Derek Sherinian replaced Kevin, followed by Jordan Rudess who remains today. Mike Mangini played drums for a number of years, with Mike recently returning. "Pull Me Under" , also from this album, is their biggest song, the only one I remember getting radio play. If you do decide to check that song out, please use the studio version, the 8 minute one. The music video is the radio edit at 4 minutes and change.

[@mangerinegirl]

Wait Mike Mangini who was with Extreme for an album? I didn’t know he was ever part of this band! So cool!

[@chriso6719]

@@mangerinegirl Yep , he was in DT from 2010 - 2023.

[@mangerinegirl]

@@chriso6719 Wow that’s a long stretch. What a fantastic drummer. I met the guy once, he was really sweet, such a nice guy.

[@nexuslang]

@@mangerinegirl Portnoy left the band in 2010 because he said he needed a 1-2 year "break" but the other band members decided to go on. They did auditions for the new drummer (all documented on KZbin) and chose Mangini from among 4 elite drummers. Portnoy's shoes were/are hard to fill, and Mangini's been criticized by DT diehards because his playing's too "robotic", but those same die-hards are missing Mangini and giving him (belated) due credit after Portnoy decided to rejoin early this year. DT fans are a fickle bunch...

[@76JStucki]

Every single song on this album is a masterpiece

[@danjmcs]

The album this is from, "Images and Words" was my big push back into more modern prog in the early 90s... so good... definitely a classic prog album, start to finish... love these guys!

[@rmproute66]

Also, Dream Theater also has looooong songs. On their album “Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence”, the 2nd disc from the album is one long song consisting of the Overture and its accompanying Movements (structured like a Classical Piece).

[@philphilips9248]

LOVE that you are listening to Dream Theater - so much to absorb from these artists! On the lighter side, I love 'Take Away My Pain' from Falling Into Infinity. For full on prog, I love 'Metropolis Pt ' from Images and Words.

[@foofan312]

Fatal Tragedy! It's got everything. Absolute gem of a track that does a great job of showing what Dream Theater is about.

[@sebastianschilling7337]

Guys, I can’t thank you enough for doing this band, and this particular song which is one of my favorites from them. A good one to check out next, from this same album (Images and Words - 1992) is “Pull Me Under”, considered by many to be their greatest hit. This guys have been making music since the 80s, and in their influences you can hear a bit of Rush, Yes, King Crimson, Queensryche, Pink Floyd, Metallica and Iron Maiden, to name a few. Great choice!!! ❤

[@deannabarnett2947]

I was searching your videos & I absolutely could not believe that you don't have at least 1 video on The Eagles !! Wow . Hotel California, Heartache tonight, DESPERADO!! This is a must hear band honestly.

[@timwendt1935]

Eagles do not allow it. It's unfortunate.

[@kenneycurlee9730]

Very much a ballad from DT. This is from 92 and they look quite a bit different now. Definitely not a hair band. The guitarist John Petrucci wrote this after his dad's cancer diagnosis. There's a follow on to this song from a few years later called Take Away My Pain that was written after his passing.

[@SneharthoDey]

You won't be able to handle a lot of their songs, they are masters of playing with time signatures.

[@cmw4539]

Amber, That’s a soprano saxophone, played by Jay of Spyro Gyra fame. Next? Pull Me Under The bass player Myung is great plays a bass with than just four strings and he plays it like a regular guitar, just amazing

[@julianortiz4151]

This is one of my personal favorite Dream Theater songs. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it back in 1992 with the release of their major label debut album, Images And Words. They had a breakout hit, still their only one to this very day even though they have an amazing catalog. The song was called “Pull Me Under” and it’s been a staple in their live shows ever since. It’s quite a bit heavier than this song here, but Dream Theater are masters at Creating music that uses so many different styles, though they are primarily a Heavy Metal band, and yes they are very progressive. They have some of the most complex and intricate pieces of just about any band. Like you heard, every member is a master at their instrument. Their drummer, Mike Portnoy was absolutely influenced by Neil Peart from Rush and he’s does a little bit of everything. Their guitarist, John Petrucci is absolutely one of the best out there, bar none. The keyboard player on this song, Kevin Moore, is no longer in the band, but he was integral to their early direction and success. He was replaced by a couple of other keyboardists over the years, but Jordan Rudess has been their current Keyboard player since 1998. Not enough good things can be said about their bass player, John Myung, who’s just incredible. He’s like Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) on steroids. Definitely one of my favorite bands. Their catalog is deep… both in number of songs/albums and themes/topics. They also tend to write very long songs. There may not be too many songs you can do on your channel unless you’re OK with 30 minute reaction videos, which I wouldn’t be against. Their music is amazing and you’ll definitely enjoy almost everything you hear by them. You should definitely checkout their biggest song “Pull Me Under” but if you can, don’t do the official video because it’s not the full song and even the bad themselves don’t like the video, but it helped launch their career as one of the best loved Progressive Metal bands. Try the album cut. They also have videos for a few other songs, but again they tend to get chopped up because the songs tend to be long and didn’t conform to the old MTV video length standards.

[@BillsSabresVids]

This is one of their more straight forward songs in terms of arrangement. You have to check out Pull Me Under, Metropolis, Take The Time, Fatal Tragedy and Dance of Eternity. These guys are legends. All world class musicians. Their debut album came out in 1989, they broke through with 1992's Images and Words album. Every song is worth a listen.

[@newgen85]

I love The Glass Prison and Under A Glass Moon. Dream Theater is several songs that are 20+ minutes long FOR ONE SONG!!!! These guys are amazing!!!! They formed Dream Theater in the late 1980s so they have been around awhile. They have a new album coming out late 2024 to early 2025.

[@brianwitter3271]

Yes, Pull Me Under on KNAC was when I knew there was a new band I needed to check out, but it was Metropolis Pt1 that confirmed I had a new favorite band. The edgier version of Rush comment is fair. Growing up I loved Rush, but they always left me hungry for a band that brought the progression with the energy and aggression of metal. Dream Theater is the band I was waiting for.

[@jamesmorrison7692]

Dream Theater is an awesome band. This song comes off the album Images and Words, which is one of the best albums ever put out by any band. If you are going to react to more Dream Theater, you must, must do Pull Me Under. That is their signature song, and one of my favorite songs ever. Pull me Under....a must reaction!

There isn't a bad Dream Theater recommendation out there. Their catalogue is consistently incredible. Pull Me Under is definitely amazing as many have suggested.

[@NmDPlm31]

DT? Nice! But I agree with others here….Pull Me Under for sure is where you should go next. It’s from the same album as this track was, and it is their most well-known, biggest hit. In fact, they have an album called Greatest Hit (…and 21 other pretty cool songs). It’ll give you your rock fix.

[@markwilhelm168]

Dream Theater is a band of musician's musicians! They only ever had one radio hit( Pull me Under) from their first album (Images and Words) but every musician that heard them back then, now waits anxiously for every coming album. I must have listened to Images and words 1000 times.

Take the Time is a great song that captures the essence of Dream Theater. Jorden loves bass, I want you the notice the 6 string bass

OMG, it is about time you guys did Dream Theater; I have been suggesting them to you guys for lord knows how long now. While "Another Day" is a good song, it is definitely one of their slower/softer songs; you guys have to do "Pull Me Under" and "Surrounded". You guys will LOVE this band, I know you will; they are Jay's type of late 80's early 90's music, and for Amber they have amazing instruments. These guys are incredible musicians, Amber will love them; especially after she listens to "Pull Me Under" and "Surrounded", then she'll be hooked!!!!

[@stevechappell580]

This is off their second album, Images & Words (great album), but was released in 1993 (I think). Their drummer, Portnoy, idolized Neil Peart (he has departed the band). Finally, the pianist separated from the band following their next album (Awake) and is now a Psychologist somewhere in the Mid West. Oh, I forgot to mention, the band originated from the Berklee School of Music in Boston. If you want something harder, Pull Me Under (mentioned by someone else below) was the song that hit the radio and probably is on the harder side of the band - I haven't really followed them since Awake.

[@timhutchinson8485]

The saxophone solo was by Jay Beckenstein from the band Spyro Gyra.
