Lesson: • Mike Portnoy - The Gla... - Hudba
If Geddy and Alex were to go back on the Rush tour, Mike Portnoy would be a great fit! RIP Neil🥁
We kinda need to see this, don't we.
Yes he would but nobody could replace Neil.
@@barrygerenski6259 Well, nobody can replace Chris Squire, but it was great seeing Geddy playing with Yes... Nobody can replace George Harrison, but boy was the Concert For George great fun😉
A perfect fit
@@barrygerenski6259 cept portnoy!!!
Welcome back MP WE F-KING MISSED YOU
FACTS
This man was heart and soul of this band!
👍👍👍
Fuck you mangani rules its all about smooth robot drumming. Just one fix. I hate....... Only joking porntoy is a beast and big fan. What a riff
The camel in the engine room.
I don't think so ...
DT is DT - Portnoy played a significant part in that, but that's discrediting all the other members. Get over it haha.
ALEGREM-SE, ELE TÁ DE VOLTA 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Portnoy is outstanding.
Fuck you he shit worst drummer ever. Only joking its alaskas fools day gnah gnah gnah ha! Hi is amazing
Hi mike
Be happy, the King is back :D
This is their best song to me. Love the riffs, the drumming, the vocals, the bass, the keys, just a banger.
Nothing like watching the master playing his art.
One of the most creative drummers in the world rhythmically, you just have to break down the outro section to see that there are so many layers of the right sound being correct, it just fits (at 12:56)! Many drummers may be better technically but none are better when it comes to writing what drum sounds are best for the song at hand. Makes it very interesting to the listener!
+Jet Anderson now you my friend understand the true essence of drumming, fucktard drummers are always talking shit about technical prowess
+Jet Anderson I agree completely. The Mangini vs Portnoy debate is always about the wrong thing. Portnoy arranged the songs with JP. Now JP arranges them by himself. You can hear the difference in the last 3 albums.
+Jet Anderson Yea his parts are awesome. It's a shame he can't hold a steady tempo though. He speeds up songs allllllll the time.
+Gary H yeah but Portnoy is responsible for some of the cheesiest vocal lines ever. (a nightmare to remember, prophets of war, the dark eternal night.....m' just sayin')
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I feel The Reverend from Avenged Sevenfold was the same way. He was never super technical, but his parts just fit perfectly.
One of the best DT songs
The best IMO. My favourite at least.
I am a Guitar-Player, but watching this, makes me wanna play Drums so badly :D
Yes, but when you are a drummer this will make you want to quit.
@@TobiaTesan or get better and BUY a TAMA like i did!!!
@@TobiaTesan nah bro, thats why u practice and practice till you learn his songs
Whatta Phenomenon ....Whatta Phenomenon!
This intro is one of my absolute favorites. I wish I could put the first minute and half on loop. I could listen to that for an hour.
i LOVE the great debate!!!
All I can say is, "WOW"!!! Mike Portnoy. Amazing.
That drum kit; man, having to be the person to unpack it, set it up, then take it down, and repack it all over again. That's a HUGE job. Then don't forget the sound check on the entire kit all over again to get it right. His snares always have this crisp solid sound.
Don't forget having change heads after every few shows lol! I hope whoever was breaking down and setting up Mikes kits while with DT was getting paid good.
+Tyne Perez i ve spoken with a guy from music store in cologne. he was one of the guys that helped setting up the set when DT was in Cologne. He said that they change the cymbals and heads after every few concerts because he is hammering on it like thor :D
IIDRX wouldn't that cost more than the money he makes from playing
he gets everything sponsored by sabian and tama.
Antón Ojeda Even if Portnoy had to pay for them, which he doesn’t, he could certainly afford them.
Mike Portnoy was the leader of the band, that personality is important when carrying out a trade.
miss THIS DT!!!
Man...
What a Bass
I remember being 12 and air drumming the shit out of this song in my bedroom
This is Mike Portnoy on his max expression! Awesome
I miss Mike. I really do. Love Mangini, but I miss Mike.A lot.
I would have loved to see Marco Minneman get this gig
But Mangini is Mike
I'm so glad he's back!
It's about time LTE make a new album
There it is, bro. Enjoy
8:08 LOLOLOLOLOOL
The God of drums.
+João Mauricio
Not the GOD of Drums! Perhaps a disciple! Bonham, Peart? Shall I keep going?
Fawn Lebowitz portnoy trumps bonham objectively and I prefer portnoy to peart but I still love peart he is a beast
@@wiggy009 This is true
@@jumbleothia The Rev
@@theguyof360mp is better
I did NOT have an appreciation for that song until now. AMAZING. 20 year DT and Portnoy fan blown away. Thanks for posting!
Welcome home Mike!!! You are unique
Fun Fact:
The weekend before entering the studio to start work on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, John Petrucci and Portnoy saw Pantera perform at the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City. This provided a great influence on the band. Portnoy described this particular track Glass Prison as musically "this total Pantera-meets-Megadeth, relentless ball of energy."
Best song ever
Can’t wait to see them again.
8:19 "Open my aaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyysssssssss...................."
Radityo Ardi lol, I kind of liked it
@Reghardt van Rensburg 🤣🤣🤣
xD
@Reghardt van Rensburg 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The fact that this outro leads directly into this dying sould blows my mind
Allthough one of the most "complicated", one of the most MUSICAL drummers I know !
+matthieu poupard I think he's pretty damn "complicated". Just look at the beginning of "the The Presence of Enemies Pt 1".
+Thomas MacGillavry yes, Mike plays complicated stuff BUT still he's an amazingly groovy and musical drummer
09:48 spay my hand man!! He puts his stuck down to get his hand sprayed
i never understand why he need to being sprayed on his hands
@@radioinstitutocampechano9020 He is not using tapers on the sticks in this one, yet. Some drummers' hands can be irritated in long performances.
i love the changes in rhythm of the hi-hat at 7:14 and 7:24 while still remaining on the same bass and guitar riff...very creative
the wonderful world of metric modulation
while also singing... he has more than a single brain
Jose Martinez please explain
😊😊😊 complex rhythm
That's part of his magic... Just a little part
05:10 beautiful fail
So awesome watching Mike play! One of my favorite DT songs. Such talent!
9:20. That fucking bass line.
The Goat
I really love this guy..
Mike Portnoy, Master Drummer! The closing parts of this song is extremely complicated and shows that even the great ones also do make mistakes, though barely noticeable! Towards the end, at 12:19 to 12:23, he fumbles through that rather simple fill (for him, of course) but still manages to get through it somehow and keep the time and the beat! And at 12:26, he gives the camera a look like 'Phew, that was a close one!' Really funny but absolutely professional! Being Human, the great Mike Portnoy!
I think he either missed like a 6 stroke roll or done the whole fill too quickly, lol. Easily done ;) kept it all smooth though!
Very well noticed my friend.
actually, when he looks back he is advising to his assistant to put liquid in his hands.
hi
dream theater with out mike portion this body without a soul!
best of the best. (to me 😊)
this my favorite from DT
Yevhen M-Me 2 definitely!!!🤘🏻
Astonishing ability and creativity 🤘🏼🍺
Wait, astonishing is the other drummer, right? 🤔
I love this song so much
I had the luck to hear, to see live in Italy the true Dream Theater in 2002 and 2005. In 2002 I heard "The Glass Prison" for the first time, with Mike Portnoy at drums.
No need to say that who plays drums now in Dream Theater can't transmit such of feeling, of energy, to me...
I would be lucky if I watch any live performance of DT on venue! Wow. A 13-minute song! 👏🏻 not gonna get tired!
JUST MIKE PORTNOY!!!
Kerrrrreeeeeeeeeen. Dah!!!!
This is Dream Theater!!!
This was...
@@alexciserit is again! He's back!
Mike ,Mike ,what a monster!!!!
Dream Theater, AMAZING PROFESSIONAL AND NEXT LEVEL BAND!
Absolute master of his craft, simply amazing!
That snare sound
I have fell in love with this part (5:43) its so f-ing cool
❤
I was tuning James out, but of course at 4:05 someone stepped on the cats tail and woke him up lmao.
El Diablo lmao! OMG shut up lol
Oh man. I can't even say. Labrie is an anchor to DT
Amazing video! Thanks!!!!!!!
Not going to compare drummers. Portnoy is a showman. He's the flash. Can't help but think I missed the boat not seeing these guys in the way back machine.
I miss Mike Portnoy in Dream Theater. He is an outstanding musician!! This song is killer. Still a favourite tune of theirs thanks to level of musicality in these guys. Phenomenal song. Bloody magical band. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Loved this video! All the best!!
Portnoy has more soul than mangini. For me, Mangini is a drum magician while Portnoy is a Drum god with a rockstar attitude. Portnoy is more entaining to watch. 😊
Yeah, sure...
mangini is faster, more Polyrhythmic by far. prob has better time and tempo.. but overall is a boring sounding drummer.. so i agree with you. Portnoy just is fun and has a way better sound overall.
Mangini is a monster but Portnoy is a true entertainer!! Love both Mikes though 😁
Also charismatic...
Yes but if we are going to say which one is better i´d say is mike
Around this years he needed lubrication on his hands for grip (they got super dry). He then changed his sticks to having grip tape even his signature sticks. Little mistake @12:21 but nothing major. But seeing DT after Mangini (playing with a click) you can hear how the band was always trying to hold back the tempo but Portnoy was always going forward. You can see DT videos from like 2003 until he left that there was always a little fight between them on songs with the tempo.
How Petrucci could let this man go is beyond me.
Working Man Portnoy was the one who wanted to take a break from the band. Petrucci and the rest of the band respected the fans too much to agree to his demands. It was Portnoy's own fault he is out of the band. Mangini has proven an excellent replacement for the extremely big shoes that needed filling.
Who is at fault is questionable. The fact is Petrucci gave the order to let him go. These guys have been musical friends and band mates for a very long time. How one can let such an accomplished drummer go who more than helped make Dream Theater who they are go so easily is a bit unusual don't you think?. They all have been very busy with their own projects. Its not like Portnoy was the only one. Couldn't something have been worked out? As far as Mangini ... Im sure hes a great guy, Have nothing against him but HARDLY the replacement for Mike Portnoy. It is simply not Dream Theater any more sry.
Working Man The more fucked up thing is, he tried to join back! But dream theater sent Mike Portnoy too their lawyers! Wtf dream theater
He asked for a 5-year break.
As they had already recruited Mangini. Should Portnoy have tried a comeback a few weeks earlier.. well, no, he would have probably left some years later.
The 12 steps,? If he's gotten better once he kicked his habit. Kick Drum YOUR own habit!. Fantastic!
Mr Portnoy memang nggak tergantikan... 👍
Beautyful drumming harmony
Volve portnoy !!!!!! Gracias por tanto!!!!!!!!
My fav song...
This has everything on it; every flavor, every genre there was related to rock x metal (the nu metal era specifically because (I remember it quite fondly) of the dj scratches section) even classical together with electronic and synth: 🚀🧠🤯💓
Prog indeed!
777
I think this drummer has more fans than any other drummer in history!! (Oh, maybe besides Lars)😁
I love him
WE MISS YOU!
DT fan
Prodigy !
A beast
12:36 No problem in putting some magic dust on your hands 👌🏼😎
I like this song
I can't believe dude stuffed from alcoholism,he can rock the shit out of drums? Unreal!!!????
Mike may not be the most technically capable drummer, but few surpasses him when it comes to composing and arrangements.
He's not?
No he's not, he's pretty limited in terms of techniques, but the important thing is he knows when and how to use them.
@@XiyuYang tell me what techniques he can´t domine? ...many tell "polyrhythm"
12:15 - How about I just fix my glasses for a sec? :D
it's correct pause in the song by the way
Yes people for gods sakes its censored because this is from a educational dvd. Also I like he drops a stick and switches out two like no big deal
This audience dont deserve DT to play for them. They are so passive.
Honestly, after Portnoy left DT, the atmosphere of DT had changed a lot. Portnoy's style is more melodic and has groove. Portnoy Era esp. 1999-2009 was so Proggy and badass, the DT period I love the most, Drums are real. While the current DT is less for me since 2013 when Drums are worse than Images and Words. Although I also love Mangini.
Mangini depends on speed but Portnoy depends on melodies.
I think Portnoy is far more interesting to listen to than Mangini
no debate...this is great...
We miss you MP
In 2021 still a favorite song. Saw them live and Mike threw a drum stick to the crowd and played with one stick then signaled for it to be tossed back, caught it and continued playing.
ah yes, best piece of the kit
glasses
Man is a machine, the energy flowing out of him is unrivaled by any drummer out there. Mangini is a phenominal drummer of course no one can deny this but you have to agree DT isn't the same without Portnoy.
Need back to Dream Theater! :(
At their best!
i miss that Drum set in the actual Shattered Fortress tour. :(
good times
The way he beats up his drumset is just satisfying
Is it possible to get back the times in order to send Labrie off and put Halford on stage? Am I asking too much?
6:51 really sounds like my grandma yelling at me ...
the fact that he took a micro second to correct his glasses tells it all.........
cmon guyyyss, replace with new voc 😭😭😭😭😭. He just make a song sick😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
12:18 fail... kkkk
Mr. Mike Portnoy
meu espelho. . minha influência
LENDA
Errou, mas errou bonito kkkk
Dream Theatre music sounds like they imitate other bands styles and mash it all together. The beginning of this song sounds Megadeth inspired.
On of my favourite and had influenced me about drummer could be singing either.
12:19 👌🏻
