Mark Vandenberg hahaha how many weeks this guy spends on making it you should have understood...

[@Vandelay-2000]

Don't be fooled; a million dollars worth of gear and studio equipment does not make you a great musician. This kid is amazing.

[@vladymartinez1232]

Yeah so sad im a great musician and my equipment is cheap😂😂😂

[@chakwylde]

Certainly got the talent and amazing cover but definitely helped by financial backing for all the equipment and to pay for the studio time and filming. What 15 year old kid can afford that... Not jealous at all... lol

Thanks man!! Super cool to meet you too🤘

I really can't find words after that. Owen, welcome to Planet Earth. Don't know what planet you are from, but we need you here. You have just redeemed so much with your musicality. You have given me much hope for the future of brilliant musicianship down here. You are an explosive talent. Wow. Just wow.

[@MysteryD]

[@yosephyohantoro6123]

I want to be like this kid when I grow up.

[@jelleepit]

I sweat just watching this. The amount of work that has gone into this is nuts but the unbelievable commitment and hours of hard practice to get to this level on all these instruments in crazy. Just the skill on one of them is a huge accomplishment but to nail 4 of them is monumental and what's more it is practically note perfect. Total and utter respect. The record industry should be ashamed of itself that it is so crap considering the talent that is out there like this.

[@michaell.445]

Can even one of Dream Theaters' members cover the other three like THAT? Omg man... Dude if they find this out. If they see this...they're probably going to give you something. If you have your own music recorded throw it at me I'll buy it.

[@ALBundy73]

sell your music man i buy it too

Each member are a master at what they do. They will obviously suck at each other's part although they basically write music for each other.

[@adszulc]

I am over 40 years old and for the very first time in my life I've seen impossible coming possible. I seriously cried when I watched the finale. Your talent and taste of music is beyond what I could have ever imagined. I'm lost for words...

You didn't just perform a perfect cover of a Dream Theater song, playing all the instruments perfectly, you did it TWICE! That was astonishing man. Keep rocking, the world needs to know you. Have you met the band already? If not, COME ON, JOHN! LOOK AT THIS GUY HERE!

[@thesentry3497]

I grew up listening to Dream Theater. I don't know if every reader knows this but every musician in Dream Theater is considered amongst the most talented in their respective instrument and or field. They are all legends. This dude just played every one of their parts.

[@lamkin9188]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how amazing the production on this track is too?

[@juancristobalec]

I rarely comment on videos, but this is just .... I cannot even find the words. Kid, you are a fucking genius, another level, you deserve a standing ovation

[@rloasby]

Holy shit dude, every note is so spot on, you captured every nuance, especially Portnoys original drum parts! Well done

This is truly special. An authentic, once-in-a-generation musical polymath.

[@helgijonsson3537]

The only problem this kid will face in his musical career is to form a band where he can't easily outperform every single member. Absolutely outstanding work!

[@Misanthrope84]

What the fuck did I just watch? I'm still trying to comprehend whether or not it's the same lad playing all those instruments.

Half-steps are pitch intervals aka a minor 2nd. When it comes to timing, it would be beat, measure, bar. Just sayin, don't hate me for it...lol
