Wife Reacts To Dream Theater!! - Breaking All Illusions (Breaking The Fourth Wall Reaction!)

[@OutLoudStudios]

More Dream Theater, Rush And Iron Maiden next week as well as some new bands! We've got a lot of great suggestions and are working hard to film, edit and keep the content flow consistent. Thanks to all the subscribers and to all who have commented with suggestions, tips, and just general thoughts. We appreciate the support very much!

[@Brandon-zn8rf]

It’s already been mentioned, but it’s worth repeating: Dream Theater - Hollow Years (Live at Budokan) John Petrucci goes OFF on an improvised solo that is blistering and beautiful!

[@stanflahaut1893]

She would like "Solitary Shell" for the music and the autism message

[@fatredditmod]

From the reaction I can say one thing, she is a keeper. She clearly is not interested, but doesn't show any of it and is willing to do it for you.

[@OLDM4N-DE]

That we can agree on. She is clearly doing it for him. Herself there is no real interest in this music, and the complexity (and sometimes 20x listening to it) before you know whats really going on. But she is missing the musical appreciation for music like this.

[@prathamdangi3388]

@@OLDM4N-DE it's okay dude ... I love dream theater but you can't expect someone to be a newbie in metal and completely understand Dream theater .. she'll cope up asap ... Hope you understand what I say mate 🤘🏻

[@SwedeSpeeder]

I'm old enough that my kids are these guys age. I can assure you of a few things. 1. This dude hit the friggin' lottery. 2. If he's good to her and stays good to her, she will be the best friggin' wife anyone could ever hope for, and those are in very short supply these days. 3. If they have kids, those kids are gonna have the best GD Mom they could have ever hoped for as well. This girl is evidence that being wonderful isn't hard work. Bet on it.

[@wolfedan3]

Yeah well DT is the greatest band that ever existed and I will never get tired of them.

[@SwedeSpeeder]

Petrucci - Most beautiful guitars solos on Earth. Full stop. And he's the most humble guy on that same Earth. To be this good and to be meek about it? That alone is worth its weight in gold.

[@Keith-Bear]

Dream Theater is my all time fav band. Been following them since the early 90’s as a young teenager. I love ur guys honest reviews and appreciate yas. U also have to take into account James Labrie (Kevin James Labrie) ruptured his vocal cords in the 90’s. Mans also in his 50’s. He has one of the most beautiful and powerful males voices I have ever heard. Range is out of this world especially before injury. All great voices age with time but he’s still killing it! 🤘🏻

[@wjadragon6782]

Best way for newbie to prog to listen is when relaxed, alone, turn the lights down, put on your best headphones and just let the music do it's thing.

[@camboman1441]

One of their best songs

[@martinharrison7536]

Fall into the light is another must hear for a great introduction of how great they can be.Also off their newest album , Distance Over Time

[@douglasborgstrom2023]

I never get bored listening to DT. Their brilliance of using vocal melody throughout the musical interludes is transcendental. Listen closer to what each player is doing. They compliment each other, build dynamics together, and create entire movements based on the lyrics and vocal parts. They are amazing. A musicians band who take the best ideas from all your favorite bands and different musical influences to create the most epic sounds ever heard on the planet.

[@PaulieAPS]

Yes, keep doing DT please! Just subscribed to ya cause their my favorite band. Maybe do Endless Sacrifice @ Budokan next!

[@OutLoudStudios]

We'll get there. Slowly cycling through a lot of DT. Thanks for the sub!

[@LearnToRefine]

I definitely heard that RUSH - "Between The Wheels" part that you mentioned. Also, when the vocals start, it reminds me of Porcupine Tree - "anesthetize".

[@jaysasak]

DT: Hollow Years Live at Budokan please, the guitar solos are amazing

[@willyoctavianus]

This. Among other riffs and solo and performances from DT, I do agree that this one is arguably outperform others. Technique, of course no doubt and no need discussing it. But the emotional is just...

[@alanalanis2257]

Show her The Shattered Fortress live by Dream Theater. That will totally amaze her.

[@jhawkkw87]

You should do Finally Free from the same concert (Breaking the 4th Wall) since it's a much more melodic song, plus adds a full orchestra and background choir which makes for a truly amazing experience. You might also want to show her something from the Live in Tokyo DVD. Though it's from 1993, it's from before James destroyed his vocal cords due to the infamous food poisoning incident in 1994 and he sounds amazing in that concert. James in general has a hard time singing songs from Images and Words or Awake live because they were written when his voice was a lot better stronger and he could hit the really high notes with minimal effort.

[@edho758]

She's absolutely cute and definitely will digest the Images and Words album in a heartbeat. My favorite album

[@tobyb4304]

Gotta check out something from the "score" concert. Probably one of Labrie's best performances imo! Sacrificed sons( w/orchestra)/metropolis (w/orchestra)/spirit carries on (for a different vibe)

[@OutLoudStudios]

We are going to do The Spirit Carries On soon!

[@rafaelmorales3448]

Absolutelly agreed!!!

[@julioan94]

Sacrificed Sons is surely the highlight of than concert imo

[@fy1755]

Love this band so much

[@fy1755]

This bands music makes my spirit carry on gives me a rite of passage takes me out of my glass prison to a new metropolis love them

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Awesome reaction video Have a good day.

DREAM THEATER - THE GLASS PRISON

[@mr198221]

That may blow her doors off, lol.

[@theprog2426]

One of the best songs ever!!

[@HammondChamberlain]

This really goes to the point that MP made years ago.. At their shows you have Dream Theater Fans and their wives and girl friends.

[@lowdz68]

So many great riffs in this song.

[@ikhsanfahrizal2557]

Try watch illumination theory

[@sllk4104]

The live version please

[@otavio_beline]

That live version... Oh my gosh

[@Moskal91]

My first dt song I ever lsitneed too learned Liek half of it and did the solo too

[@DekkarJr]

I can't get over how wild and crazy it is that Mike Mangini the drummer has like 20 more drums and cymbals on scafolding ABOVE his drums ahahha

[@cakrant]

*Next, Dream Theater - Illumination Theory (live Boston Opera House).. with orchestra and choir.. 21 minutes totally masterpiece.. it will blown your mind !*

[@wadiielmoussaoui6913]

8:17 Disco Theater! DT fucking rules!

[@lifesabeach2597]

The Change of Seasons live 2008 video is 25 minutes long but worth every second

[@gpiercemusic2003]

Please do a change of seasons live from 2000 it’s worth it.

[@OutLoudStudios]

Soon. Lots of requests for that!

[@OutLoudStudios]

Kept it Simple for Kimmy and we reacted to "Lie"! Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5SWYpKcqdWeoNE More DT to come! Thank you all for the comments and song suggestions.

[@dewapd1169]

Dream Theater - The Looking Glass.

[@briandavis4916]

Illumination Theory from the same show. Buckle up and hold for the ride if you can handle it.

[@Gavrev]

This song feels a lot like a sequel to Trial of Tears.. a wonderful piece of music.

[@TimO-wt9sz]

Awww bud I’ve been trying to I can’t do it either.im with the wife lol.def talented but as soon as he opens hi mouth I’m lost all over again.and yup the hand speed phhht he knows it lol.

[@ericminnick5295]

I get the "not liking James's vocals" live and I'll admit I've seen them live 2 times (the Astonishing & Distance Over Time) and James can be quite pitchy which as a former live sound engineer I know can be a thing for vocalists, it's a constant power (volume) struggle for band members who want & need to hear themselves and the others, old school monitors that I grew up with were very limiting and was always a compromise for all to hear, now days with In Ear Monitors it's an individual mix for each according to their needs (John P. does not have James's mic in his in ear mix because of potential for feedback while James walks around the stage) another thing this last tour I noticed James did better (less pitch problems) and had heard that the band did short mini tours if you will of 3 to 5 weeks with time off to rest the vocal chords and also for band members to have family time as well as pitching guitars and strings etc... but yes James can be pitchy you just have to take the bad with the good and enjoy this awesome band.

[@ooo_Kim_Chi_ooo]

I saw them during their first two albums with Mangini and saw them during the Awake tour and James was flawless all times but he has bad nights. The fact he can even sing after his vocal cord damage is amazing.

[@rtrooperw8115]

LaBrie is one of the greatest, no doubt!!!🙏🏻♥️🤟🏻

[@sllk4104]

I'm subscribing for dream theater content.

[@smangko]

At first I didn't like James LaBrie's voice too but it would be a waste if I stopped listening to Dream Theater just because of his voice. Then I learn to accept that he's the voice of Dream Theater.

[@mr198221]

He IS THE voice of DT.

[@elBanananas]

You should react to Illutmination Theory from the same concert, I know it's long but so so so good.

[@prinzvaliumii.7776]

She: They are very talented. Thinking for herself: I don't like it :)

[@Zitronenparty]

Would love to hear your thoughts on "Harlequin Forest" by Opeth :)

[@AnnWahlquist]

Thats exactly why its not realy fair.... .. She should listen to James labrie from the 90's... He was a BEAST... Those high distorted notes... My god ... James isnt what he used to be....

[@OutLoudStudios]

We reacted to the studio version of Take The Time and we had a blast doing it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWenZKNsmLKMoac

[@Eccentrics]

You guys need to check out the live in Tokyo version of this track.

[@feralkitty9378]

Best post-Portnoy Dream Theater album hands down.

[@Bulletlover5757]

Let her do react to take the time live in japan.....im sure this time her mind will definetly blown away by labrie's vocal

[@Bulletlover5757]

N if u react this song im really gonna subscribe ur's channel

[@TUBBYMAXX]

Nice reaction !! Yes... you do need to be a Dream Theater to appreciate this amazing talent for sure. May I suggest "Awakening" by Unleash The Archers..... another highly talented band.... cross between prog and power. Give it a shot !! Hope to see your reaction to it . Cheers!!!!

Circus maximus - burn after reading

[@mr198221]

4:32, then don't listen to the rapping part in 'The path that divides,' lol

[@johnpetrucci4329]

Yeahh more dream theater live

[@philipturner6279]

[@vortexlucas9671]

A change of season by dream theater please

[@OutLoudStudios]

Eventually! The most requested by far

[@Feel777]

Try The Spirit Carries On, either Live from NY 2000 or Score.

[@OutLoudStudios]

Going to do the score version soon is the plan!

[@murgo2564]

if you love Dream Theater's bass sounds, try to hear "6:00" from Awake album because i think it has catchiest bass lines.

[@mikemischievous2091]

What type of voice does your wife like? Who is her favorite singer?

[@gamesandguitars354]

You need to make her listen to The Best of Times by Dream Theater !!!

[@geoffreyacedo827]

It’s funny you say that at 2 min in the lyrics start and that quite a bit in. In the presence of enemies pt 1 they go like 5 min 14 seconds before James starts. Such a fan. Have the LTE albums and John’s solo albums. I can listen to this style of music and never hear James sing and be happy 👍

[@alanalanis2257]

She might enjoy the studio recordings better than live.

[@OutLoudStudios]

We will have another one up tomorrow! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@alanalanis2257]

@@OutLoudStudios Try Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence or Distance Over Time.

[@rtwbikerider]

That’s true love there. Tim, you owe the Mrs. your participation in one of her activities now. At the risk of prolonging the torture, DT’s The Spirit Carries On from their Score concert DVD might get a positive reaction. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3Omf3-wna2Mj9E Thanks for reacting to Breaking All Illusions, though.

[@OutLoudStudios]

I like that song and I think she will too. We'll check it out!

[@bunnihilator]

Hello my friends, there are more accessable songs from DT, this song at first was very hard to grasp, some songs feel like all over the place, but that's not true for every DT songs there are a lot more bound, but some at the instrumental parts are just more "crazy" than others. If you want her to get into DT you have to pick more simple songs for her which are more cohesive. But the best experiences frm DT are these conplex epics, some times very crazy but really original and genious pieces. JamesLaBrie's voice fits perfectly for DT, of course he's older but if you listen to studio album is perfect fit for DT, his vocals are interesting, DT couldn't be only instrumental, the vocals takes it to a whole new dimension. At live the instrumentals are really loud so i imagine that, beside getting older, its hard to sometimes keep the pitch but overall his vocals are fine. Don't mind some haters who only prefer rock with growl voices. James has always been the perfect fit for DT i cannot imagine any other personality for it. He has that dreamy voice that fits dream theater.

[@astrophotonics9470]

They were heavily influenced by Rush, so no surprise you'll hear interludes sounding like Rush.

[@nadilsabag3084]

Please reacts to dream theater the root of all evil live score and dream theater learning to live live 1993 or studio version

[@balticstain7150]

Hiya what about some. Night Wish. Symphonic metal band... ghost love score....

you're trying to make your wife like dream theater lol !!!!!!

[@robertmunroe9635]

dude you have to react to Haken - The Architect

[@jonasjonas9830]

Do you know how damn hard that intro riff is?

[@AnnWahlquist]

Have her listen to a change of season and tell her what the song is about. ... If she's not a fan after that she'll never will ..😉

[@mr198221]

Why the live version, though. The studio one really hits you.

[@charlesnelson5744]

you really need to do a mater portnoy reacting to as i am,or the new album?

Great video, if you want better vocals he sings great on Under a glass moon live at Score.

[@sayanghosh4538]

Plz react on shattered fortress of Dream Theater from breaking the fourth wall live....❤

[@natet.8419]

This music is complex. There is no single DT song that you can listen to just ONE time, and get the entire experience of it. Have her listen to this song (or any DT song) again, and again, and one more time for good measure. That way, she can experience what they are really about. \m/ o_o

[@dhaudio8897]

This dying soul - get the harder side of dream theater.

[@nicollasduque8498]

this solo hurts so much

[@ivanp-jc-is-the-king]

I think she just doesn't like this type of music and probably you won't find many song that she would enjoy it. I have friends that just aren't able to get this music because 99% of music is classic songs which lasts 5-6 minutes, in progressive metal you have to accept that there are not classic refrains, it is more like instumental composition with vocals in between.

[@ricatnapit4023]

Next octavarium please

[@gopagopa8825]

LP Versions of dream theater's songs for your wife.... Better. She needs to learn the dream theater's world....

[@OutLoudStudios]

We will be posting the reaction to "Lie" tomorrow!

Have you guy's notice that the audio and video does not sync in the video you're watching..!?.... Look at manginis drumming in the slow sections ... It doesnt Sync AT ALL...

[@flairsede2794]

I know James voice might not be the best voice but who knows without james their music might be change into different genre also n so thats how Dreamthreater was made.

[@filomenagentile3809]

Lei è una croce….🫣

[@mercyprasmo9669]

I don't think u guys really "Progressive Rock" because Dreamtheater is all about that!

[@oldmanjimh3165]

If vocals with great musicians are your thing, you'll find this unlike anything you've heard. Jinjer and their song "Pisces". Don't preview.

[@Knarf14]

Most none musicians dont get it but shes trying

[@sudeephembrom325]

Actually after the accident james is not able to sing like before.....you should definetly check imagea and words

[@boki1693]

I am not critiquing your wife or anyone else in any way but I just don't understand why so many people don't like James' voice. I mean I hear this all the time but I have never had a problem with it and actually like it. I have to laugh though. Either your wife is a complete angel or your newlyweds. If I tried to get my wife to sit down and listen/watch, fill in the blank, of something she didn't care for that much it would not be a pleasant experience at all. If it's because your newlyweds, get her to listen to as much Dream Theater as you can now because this will not last. LOL. Just messing with you.

[@OutLoudStudios]

Well, we are fairly newlyweds but my wife is also amazing. The main thing though is she really likes a lot of rock and metal so she's willing to give any new music a shot. Also, I like James as well. Admittedly it took me some time but now he's just the voice of DT.

[@AnnWahlquist]

If you realy wanted to blow her mind, why show her the new stuff??! ... Show her the old stuff... Like scenes from new york or score ... Or maybe When Dream and Day Reunite...😉😉

[@OLDM4N-DE]

Getting bored because the song is longer than regular stuff ? Hmm, not really showing great musical interest in things. And in that case, DT might not make much sense, because if you cannot fully appreciate DT for how awesome they are, i dont think that further listening to it would make sense. If one is bored because a song is too long, that person is not into it enough to appreciate. And thats something you really need to do when you listen to bands like DT.

[@kevindobson9732]

Can you please react to Bif Naked song called Sick Please

[@krytoderp6920]

im a fan of DT but not James voice man sounded like drunk man try to sing hahaha

[@ashleyjpbanks666]

I don't think she gives a shit about Dream Theater mate. 1% of the world has heard of Dream Theater, 10% of those like Dream Theater and 1% of those are women. Trying to find a female fan of Dream Theater is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

[@nikelodeon6852]

First off stop pausing so much second don't lay it on so thick. Let her watch without looking to see her reaction every few seconds. No one who's a fan of the band is a fan because of the singer. Everyone just waits for the instrumentals. If you're waiting for the vocals to get interested in the song this is totally the wrong band for you.

[@OutLoudStudios]

Thanks for the advice. Our next video is a studio version so there's no distractions. We did still pause and talk a bit but I think a lot of people want that in a reaction. We do love hearing opinions on how to be more appealing with our content. Thank you for the comment!

[@coreyyates3385]

She's like can we please just listen to beyonce?

[@leddygee1896]

I've been a DT fan for over 30 years, James is definitely the weakest link in the chain. If I'd had my wish, they should have kept Portnoy, and gotten rid of James...

[@ethanbruley8858]

Portnoy decided to leave and James is lucky to still be singing so take what you can get

[@clhallos]

All the hate on James makes these reactions to DT impossible to watch... James is great... Mangini sounds like a robot ,bash on him for a while !

[@rickheicksen6584]

TOOL

[@syimang]

hmm..that' strange. She'e bored until the vocals comes in. Clearly DT is not for you guys. Most DT fans will want to hear instrumental from them. That's the uniqueness of DT. They are one of the most respectable, skilled, professional musicians around.

[@i-DH]

Dream Theater isn’t everybody’s cup of tea & apparently she’s lost in the complexity of DT’s songs & that’s why she’s lost, bored & unappreciative of DT.
