Old Composer Reacts to Dream Theater Pale Blue Dot Reaction & Breakdown
Dream Theater Reactions
You need to react to âThe Count of Tuscanyâ from them. That song literally has everything and you as a composer will go nuts with it.
Yeaah boii
Yeah, I completely agree. Composition, execution, production, just awesome!
Yeap! I agree... Also "A change of seasons"
Octavarium is better xd
as much as I want to see him do all of the above, I want him to do some of the less elaborate classics first, like Take the Time or Space Dye Vest, something more accessible, something different than what he and most people might expect.
also, the Count of Tuscany can come across as a bit too cheesy at times
Octavarium, change of seasons, count of Tuscany.
These 3 are like my top dream theater long songs ever.
Geebz, do these, please.
as much as I want to see him do them, I want him to do some of the less elaborate classics first, like Take the Time or Space Dye Vest, something more accessible.
@@dodgrblu yeah that is also a good point. I'd love seeing stuff from dramatic turn of events, my favorite dream theater album personally.
I love Octavarium, coming from a "casual" DT fan.
My 3 favorite words that start with A on this channel:
Aloha!
arpeggiation!
AHHHLRIGHT!
Ya forgot howzit!
AWWWRIGHT!* You misspelled it.
Dream Theater: Octavarium is a PERFECT Song for you. you said once it's hard to Balance Orchestras with Metal Bands, and THIS IS THE PERFECT BALANCE. it's 20 Minutes, but WELL WORTH IT!!
absolutely, we need to push for Octavarium. It would blow his mind
Yes, couldn't agree more!
Not my favorite song from them, but the live score performance is everything that Geebz would live in a performance. Here is the link:
czcams.com/video/TkHG4jnnrlA/video.html
The whole album âOctivariumâ is perfectly constructed.
Bruh, Epica's been doing symphonic metal for 20 years. Its not just one song, its their entire discography. If you are looking for the best blend of orchestra and metal, look no further.
Talking about a mix between orchestra and metal, don't forget to mention Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL SONG!
Dream Theater has a song called In the Presence of My Enemies Parts 1 & 2. Some kind souls have combined the tracks into one for CZcams videos. I highly, highly recommend that one. Killer joint by an amazing band.
Yes, dark master!!!
You would love The Count of Tuscany by Dream Theater. My favorite song of all time. From the Portnoy-era. Do the studio version.
I bet the production of Octavarium is about to crush Geebz's mind c:
Also, I'd love to see the Misunderstood reaction. Such a uniquely done piece of work
Yes please.
Pffff...every song from Train of thought is better.
@@tydendurler9574 Train of Thought is probably my favorite album from them, but The Count of Tuscany is out of this world epic!
I once had the good fortune to sit in a front row seat just a few feet away from John Myung (John Bassplayer) for a 3 hour Dream Theater show. You are 100% correct about him. For 3 hours he played a perfect show (as far as I could tell), and hardly ever moved from his spot on stage. He was as focused as I have ever seen any musician, ever.
Oh, and the other 4 guys also played a perfect show, not a single note out of place. That show was the greatest musical experience I've ever had.
Dream Theater - Octavarium. From 20th Anniversary live Concert "SCORE". The best song of the best concert
Thank you for giving credits to John Myung! He's truly monster on his own lane
Octavarium, dude. You NEED to do a vid on DT's "Octavarium"... I mean, it'll be a LONG vid, like this one, but you'll be blown right away.
I appreciate you for doing these. If you'd be doing the new trendy stuff, you'd be getting a lot more views for sure. It's quite sad that real musicians never get much exposure and recognition. Even Dream Theater themselves only have hundreds of thousands of views, while other channels that repost their music get literally millions. Heartbreaking
A Change Of Seasons, Octavarium, In The Presence Of Enemies Pt. 1 & 2, The Count Of Tuscany, Illumination Theory.
Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain live. Pretty sure you'd enjoy it.
Learning to Live, or anything off the Images & Words album
Yeap!.. its proggy..
yes, that last few minutes is magic, one of the best songs ever made. It takes quite a few listens to really absorb though
@@alonglkr3216 Learning to Live is all in 4/4
@@user-gj6qn4fj1g nope! Its not in 4/4đđ
Infact there only 4 measures of 4/4 in the entire songđ€Ł
Check the Time Signatures
www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/dream-theater-learning-to-live-tab-s30467t0
@@user-gj6qn4fj1g how dumb you should be to say Learning to Live is all 4/4? From the intro of the song it is already not 4/4
You should go for ''Learning To Live'' from their 'Images and Words' album (1992)
Crazy that you should post this today. I was at this gig and it was exactly a year ago today!
I was at their concert slightly earlier đ February 2nd. Extremely glad I got to see them before this whole thing
More studio Dream Theater please!!
Octavarium
Bro I heard what u said under ur breathe u have confirmed what I believed u be đđ„ but we all do to so we love you big hawaii man octavarium is a great dream theater masterpiece too
John Bass Player Myung haha, when he is given room to shine, it's brilliant
TOOL - ROSETTA STONED
Dude this song perfecly summarizes what makes me absolutely love Mike Manginis drumming! His years of berklee teaching are really showing in the solo section!
Yep, this is Mangini at his best. The problem with Mangini in DT is that there is not enough of shit like this piece!
11'12" - It's the starting point where there's nothing to be said anymore . Your body language says it all. These guys own prog. There is nothing else we can do or say about it. Oh, and it's John Myung his name ;)
DT, in a nutshell: ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Dream Theater - most amazing talented musicians for each of the instrumentalists by FAR! Top of their game every one of them. There is no comparison. They were inspired by Rush (my 1st entry into music in the early 80s who I love and got me into guitar because of them) and then they became the pioneers and inspiration for so so many prog/metal/djent bands that followed in their footsteps. So glad they finally made it into the Hall of Fame! Hard to believe its now going on 40 years theyve been around (just like Rush was). Never can get tired of them. Petrucci is a Guitar God and looks like one :) but yes John MYUNG on Bass is insane and he never talks (thats the inside joke) and is so timid / soft spoken in person but WOW does he SHRED on those bass strings. And then you have Mike Mangini on drums who was once the worlds FASTEST drummer on the planet. Look it up
SCENES FROM A MEMORY, the whole thing. Maybe too much for a reaction video., but worth the listen.
I hope you continue your delve into dream theater. they have a lot of music but you will not be disappointed.
DT's - Octavarium, the pinnacle of the metal prog genre
Yeah...just that the record sounds like ass, listening to it right now.
Images & Words and Awake is where it's at.
@@tydendurler9574 6:00 and Space Dye Vest
You should react to:
Dream theater - Octavarium
Pyramid theorem - Beyond the exosphere
Haken - Nocturnal conspiracy
Like so he sees this
GEEBZ NOTICE ME!!!!
this please
for haken im dying to see him do 1985 or Atlas Stone + Cockroach King
Metropolis part 1: the miracle and the sleeper. Labrieâs vocals coming in near the end of the font is powerful and also subdues the craziness of the solos. Great song!
Yes! Thank you for doing this!â€ïž
Dream Theater - In the Name of God!
Absolute masterpiece!
The newest album was a nice surprise, good to hear them writing together. đ€đ»âđ»
I love listening to you break down music, especially Dream Theater. Thank you for giving kudos to John MYUNG, one of the greatest bass players ever. "Third Eye Purple Level" is my favorite phrase. I'm not the first to suggest The Count of Tuscany, but i'd love to see your reaction to that masterpiece. Peace.
Complication for the sake of innovation... that matters...
because they try hard for the impossible so as to the impact of his musical electrification to be effective inevitably to our ears, mind, soul, spirit, brain .... Thank you dream theater for this dreamy miracle... We owe you.
DT are the MASTERS!đ€đ»
How did I miss this one? Just seen it and clicked and I hadn't watched it yet. I need more Dream Theater in my life
Death - Flesh and the Power it Holds
Awesome decomposition of the song. Here are some DT recommendations: 1. Glass Prison 2. A Nightmare to Remember 3. The Shattered Fortress 4. Count of Tuscany 5. Repentance - Studio versions please đ Aloha!
Gojira just came out with an amazing new track called born for one thing for their upcoming album, you should take a listen
My career-spanning recommendations for the almighty DT, whittled down to 3 choices for the best of both worlds (composition and production):
Learning to Live, Lines in the Sand, Blind Faith
Definitely check out glass prison and if you want a nice long song go for octivarium or change of seasons
You'd love their live performance of "Instrumedley". Theirs a different cam on every musician and they zoom in on different members at opportune moments
Oh for sure
I am so stoked that you did Pale Blue Dot. I don't think The album Distance Over Time gets its due respect. I've been listening to DT for over 30 yrs and Distance Over Time is as bad ass as anything in the DT catalog. If you ever have the time Octavarium is the most complete progressive song ever composed, it's long though. Rock on man.
A good song from current Dream Theater. Octavarium will not disappoint. Count of Tuscany is also a good choice. Please revisit more Dream Theater. Both a musical journey.
Really appreciate what you're doing with this channel, Geebs, and glad to see your Sub numbers rise so quickly! Since discovering modern Prog several years ago, it is what has claimed the biggest portion of my music listening time and musical soul space! There's just something extremely enjoyable about the mix of technical ability, combined with enough space and complex song structure that really works for me. Melody is also very important to me and DT's songs The Best Of Times and Barstool Warrior both have all these traits on display...would enjoy your response to either of them! Safe surfin!
I love your videos, your insight and appreciation and of course the great positive energy you project!
Thank you so much!
Your breakdown of tracks is great....thank u. đ
I'm really hoping for some Cult of Luna soon. Finland, Owlwood, Eternal Kingdom, Vicarious Redemption or The Silent Man would be my top picks. And if we go down that road, Neurosis and AmenRa anwait.
Oooh man there's a lot of Live performance of DT that i want you to react to it.. let me start with THE SHATTERED FORTRESS LIVE AT THE BOSTON OPERA HOUSE
yeah! that feeling you get when you go: oh wait! this is live! crazy! their new drummer is impeccable! and i got the giggles like you when i hea crazy stuff like that... or anything a bit out there! aaaright!
Hey Geebz, the first time I saw DT, I also saw the band Spocks Beard. If you never heard of them check them out, they are like a little Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, & CS&N all rolled into one. One of my favorite songs from them is from the album V called The Great Nothing. Please give them a try. BTW love what you do, keep it up and keep up the good work for the kids. Peace Larry.
React to Octavarium (the song) whenever you can. It's pretty long, but that's what makes it a monster of a song and for me their best song to date.
Your reactions are such a breath of fresh air please keep them up.
Dream Theater - A Nightmare to Remember
The track is about a specific event in John Petrucci's life. I think it would be great to hear your decomposition.
All right!
Dang Dream Theater and Loathe in one day I'm loving it!
Idk if its on the list already, but i wanted to offer Native Construct's Chromatic Aberration to your queue! It's absolutely incredible
Thanks for all the amazing content!
You should really checkout âThe Brain Danceâ by Animals as Leaders for something really different đ
You were thinking of Flying in a Blue Dream by Satch! Great video as always, keep it up my man
Please react to older songs by Dream Theater
Wow..great reaction..love it!
GiBi, your face while listening to such complex music is priceless. đ
*snorts .. *laughs at self .. "oh my god drugs are bad" lmao love it
And thank you for praising LaBrie! He's really underrated, most of DT fans really dislike him when in fact he really ties everything together
James Labrie is amazinggâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
@@attilahun8541 He is!! â€ïž Glad I'm not alone against the LaBrie hate bandwagon đ
@@iulia.bianca.b haha you are not alone đ€đœ he is the voice of DT! I cant think anyone could be replaced him .. i also think same about Mike Mangini.. he deserves so much love and respect.. but fanboys never stop.. talking bullsh*t even on his channel..he is a monster and one of the best with M.Portnoy ..i love M.Portnoy too and he is the best ( my opinion), but people forgetting that He left the band.. no one kicked him.. and now Mr.Mangini is a part of our family and also he is an amazing personâ€ïž.he is doing AMAZING JOB! Killing it!đ€đœđ everyone must see him in LIVE at least once!
@@attilahun8541 Saw them live for the first time last year, after being a fan for over 14 years. Mangini sounded really good, did justice to Scenes From A Memory. I also love Portnoy, but I agree, HE wanted out, and Mangini is an amazing addition to the band. People's loyalties sometimes cloud their judgments.
Octavarium, In the name of god, breaking all illusions
As others also recomended, "Count of Tuscany" is a nice song, "Octavarium" is brilliant and I personally also like "A Nightmare to Remember" a lot. It's like a short story in a song (which is true for a lot of their music.
Doug Helvering did a reaction to Octavarium a while ago and as a composer he was like a kid on a joyride. He goes a bit deeper musically and the song made him very happy :D
Please react to Leprous - Aquired Taste (Live at Rockefeller Music Hall).đ€đ»
Yes!! It reminded me of Flying In a Blue Dream by Joe Satriani as well!!
If you wanna hear some more god-tier musicians, check out a progressive power/speed metal band called Eternity's End... some of the FILTHIEST keyboarding and some of the NASTIEST solos you'll ever hear!! These guys are MONSTERS in their craft!! Instantly the best power metal band I've ever heard.
Yes! Necromancer or Beyond the Gates of Salvation
We want more dream theater :)
5:52 I believe you mean Satriani's Flying in a Blue Dream? Because I totally got the same vibes from the "1st movement" so to speak
Ah yes, that's what I meant - thank you Mosh!
@@KeyOfGeebz Glad I can help đ keep it up! Love your videos
Love this song...
Would you please react to anything by the band Thank You Scientist?
Great band, great request
Blood On The Radio would be a great reaction video from him.
Wow the amount of (quality) content you release is amazing
Dream Theater's Octavarium is one of my favorite songs of all time. Worth every second of the 24 minutes!
If it must be shorter: Learning to Live, Misunderstood (that guitar solo would make your head spin once you learn how they achieved it), Metropolis Part 1...
I've seen these few songs recommended a couple times, I'm just here to echo that sentiment. The Count Of Tuscany, Octavarium, and Learning To Live are songs you should react to as well. Although the only live performance I can think of is for Octavarium.
Nothing says linear like a 9/8 Dream Theater song! lol
Here's some fun ones for when you're bored:
- Frost* - Dear Dead Days (Experiments in Mass Appeal)
- Ayreon - The Day That the World Breaks Down (The Source)
- Ayreon - Trauma (The Human Equation)
- Caligula's Horse - Salt (Rise Radiant)
And a real spicy one if you ever want a long, long video -- The Odyssey by Symphony X (it's a 24 minute-long song)
Keep up the good work! Hopefully these amazing bands/songs are all new to you :)
Solid band and musicians, maybe do more from liquid tension experiment?
Right on man, I just listened to 3 minute warning. I had to pick my jaw up off the ground, just amazing.
spawn of possession - apparition
You trying tokill ole boy? Lol
A nightmare to remember and home from the same concert are must listens
Disturbed - The Light or Vengeful One
Puscifer - Green Valley or Apocalyptical
Tool - Invincible
Lines in the sand - DT
Jimmie's Chicken Shack - Fallin' Out
Please do a video on that track. Have a cool one.
I'm gonna keep suggesting these because I know you'll love them
Bloodborne- Laurence's theme
Bloodborne- Ludwig's theme
Berserk 1997- Guts' theme
Incredible feedback on DT from you. I can't wait for you to check out more from them. The Count of Tuscany and The Glass Prison need to be up there on your list.
Check out Mike Mangini's YT channel on your own time to watch his explanation of all his meter changes for this song. Mindblowingly exceptional. Enjoying it! Stay well!
Also, just subbed!
the ministry of lost souls is another amazing DT song, i'd really recommend that one if you do more reactions to them
John myung is possibly the best bass player ever but you should check angra, their bass player felipe andreoli skill and chops are out of this world. Try wind's of destination live
You meant to say Joe Satriani - "Flying in a Blue Dream" with the spoken stuff in the beginning :P
more DT, more DT, more DT.... ;) Mahalo....
Yes...this video is back on again...I love DT, started me on the prog train
Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons
You should react to Muse's 3 part Exogenesis symphony!
Bent knee- bone rage (live at big nice studio) (I'm seriously addicted to this Band)
bent knee are very underrated!!
@@CameronClarkeOG yeah for how amazing they are
Itâd be cool to see what youâd have to say about Within the Ruinsâ song âDominationâ. Always interested in hearing your observations. Blessings, my dude. đ€đ» Also: still here! And I wonât stop commenting this until you finally do it! đ
I'd love to see you react to Cardiacs one day. If you like Oingo Boingo you'll loooove them.
Keep up the great work, really enjoying your content as always
Maybe try some Dream Theater that kind of focuses more on the song structure and less on the technicality. The last album "Distance Over Time" had some of their most melodic tracks in years. "At Wit's End" is great example of that, the guitar is so beautiful at the end of the song that it gives me goosebumps.
I'd recommend Illumination Theory but tbh any of DT's older epics are great too.
Awesome stuff! You really HAVE to do Octavarium now, it is the pinaccle of DT compositionally for me and this piece pales in comparison... đ like what I did there?
can't wait for some more Dt on your channel :)
Try Dredg - The canyon behind her, or, Bug Eyes
đźđźđźđź
This is live and from last year so the singer is not at his best of you go back to some of the older albums you really hear him shine
ELDER. Dead roots stirring
PUSCIFER. Potions.
Thank you. I am still here
You should listen to Ministry of lost souls (Dream Theater)
For those who don't know. "Pale blue dot" is our planet Earth.
