‘JUST BE A GOOD HUMAN’ Shirts and More, Enter Promo Code ‘Jamel’ jamel-aka-jamal-youtube-store.creator-spring.com

this whole album (Scenes From a Memory Pt.2) is a MASTERPIECE. I highly reccommend listening to it all the way through (multiple times)

"Man, that was insane!" 🤣 That pretty much sums up the entire song. For non musicians, this song is crazy. For us musicians in the know, this song is INSANE. You have no idea how many hours of practice it takes to get this proficient at your instrument. Thousands of hours and YEARS of study. These guys are the real deal. Great reaction as usual, Jamel! 👌

If RUSH and YES had a baby… you have to keep up on these Dream Theater reactions.

One of my favorite live bands. Perfectionists is what Dream Theater is all about.

The most notes in a RU-vid video must go to dream theater.

They just dropped a new album on Friday, its great...Answering the Call/Awaken the Master/A view from the top of the world are incredible songs

Every player in this band is a virtuoso on their instrument. You could do watch-alongs on their concerts all day long…..

Thank you Jamel..Dream Theater is my favourite progressive metal band. These boys are true masters. And keep em reactions coming. Love them... (Cheers from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬)

128 different time signature changes. Amazing song. I've always loved this band

In 1992, Dream Theater had the track 'Metropolis Pt. 1'... In 1999, they decided to make 'Metropolis Pt. 2' an entire concept album titled 'Scenes from a memory'... based on the theme of Pt. 1. "Dance of eternity" is an instrumental that fused a number of themes from the 'Metropolis' saga (the 2nd track intro of the album and 'Dance of eternity' share the same one as 'Metropolis Pt. 1') It is literally 1 of their most technically challenging tracks to pull off live. When drummer Mike Mangini auditioned for Dream Theater in 2010, he had to play "Dance of eternity"... here u see him play it in concert🤘🤘🔥 "Breaking the 4th wall" was this concert DVD recorded in 2014 on that tour, when Dream Theater played Berkeley, where 3 of their founding members formed Majesty at music school back in the 80's... They performed that show w/ the Berkeley School of Music orchestra⚡🔥

LOVE this band, special props to the bass player. ..all are AMAZING! #!!!!!!

If you continue doing complete album reactions, the next album you should react to is "Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2 Scenes From A Memory." It is my favorite album of all time, and also my favorite concept album. Absolute perfection.

Just so you know, the title is actually "The Dance Of Eternity", you may have made a typo in the title.

No band can play like Dream Theater- there are over 100 time signature changes in this piece of brilliance.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer meet Rick Wakeman! Incredible. Took no time at all for the Stank Face!

did you happen to notice he was playing a 8 string guitar?.. amazing sound i Love these guys.

Dream Theater: How many time changes should we put into this song? Me: All of them?

I loved your reaction when the song ended haha just can't even put into words what you listened to. I listened to this for the first time probably back in 2010 and I still am amazed humans made this let alone play it.

You should do a reaction to 'the spirit carries on' or the live version of 'six degrees of inner turbulance' 40mins of utter brilliance from Score the 20th anniversary dvd

Funny you talked about life, death, etc because the album this is from is about life, death and rebirth. Maybe their best album ever, Metropolis Part II.

I saw them in 1988 in a small club called Toads Place in New Haven, CT. They opened for Winger and blew everyone away! Amazing been a fan ever since

Went to high school with these guys. Absolute legends

"Love is the Dance of Eternity"

Fates Warning - The Light and Shade of Things. The former Dream Theater drummer said if it weren't for Fates Warning, Dream Theater may never have been, or words to that effect.

Jamel/Jamal I am a huge fan of your reaction vids. I also look great in my 'Be a Good Human' shirt. Keep the great vids coming! A huge fan!!!

Another progressive metal band that is very unique is Mastodon. Their songs "Stargasm", "Roots Remain", "Cold Dark Place, and "The Hunter" are all amazing. "The Hunter" is also a touching song bc it is about the death of the guitarists brother. Anything off of their emperor of sand album is amazing as well, and they have a 12 part documentary about how the album is about cancer and tragedies in the band member's lives. You should check them out, Jamal

First song I ever heard from them was “Pull Me Under”, a totally bad ass tune - and I was hooked. They are all masters of their craft… bringin’ the thunder.

One of my favorite live performances

This band approaches music like an exam question which says ‘what do you know?’

Thank you thank you thank you thank you.. so much to learn and listen too. You must do The full album Metropolis pt2

ELP for metalheads. Speaking of ELP, you should react to Tarkus some time.

Berkley College of music Grads. was blown away in the early 90's when introduced to their music.

Myung mother of god😮😮😮🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Mike Portnoy writing this drum piece is one thing...someone who can master it from the outside has just as much respect in my opinion.

Now you've finally arrived at my favorite music genre, progressive metal! Actually, i looked backwards and saw that you've reacted to some Dream Theater songs about a year ago. You know what I'm watching next!

Yes this is very technical stuff, imagine memorizing several dozen songs note for note too, beyond elite level lol

Great live concert, I’ve bought the blu-ray.

No Jamel, you're wrong, this one of the few DT songs with Lyrics by John Myung lol.

These are the best musicians on the planet

Is “THE DANCE OF ETERNITY” man..

You should try Metropolis Pt 1 from Dream Theater

The band Savatage is another one to check out that has this style.

I still think you would LOVE Octavarium by Dream Theater!

Hey brother, I love your channel! There's a Japanese metal band called Unlucky Morpheus that covers this song. It's actually an instrumental side project of the band. There's a live version where the violinist opens with Van Halen's Eruption, then they go into the Dream Theater song 🤘😊🤘

Great to see you reacting to my favourite band. Dream Theater have a lot of technical chops fests, but they also have a lot of songs with melodic solos and catchy vocal melodies. One of my favourites for a bit of everything is "Breaking All Illusions". I recommend the live video, from Live at the Boston Opera House..

This whole album is a sequel to a song called Metropolis pt 1 (from the album Images & Words). And this song in particular is filled with melodies, themes and riffs from that original song. Basically it's just a more complicated instrumental version of the track. Many people seem to love Metropolis pt. 2 but I prefer the original one by far.

dream theater - awaken the master

Music is vive 👍❤ dance of eternity Awesome

OK we're doing Dream Theater now? OK!

Can' t wait to see Your 😮 reaction to Dream Theater slower songs. They have some slow but kill with radio-friendly feeling songs like Solitary Shell, Another Day, Forsaken, etc.

Some may miss this, but count the number of tuning pegs / strings on the bass and guitar. Not your "typical" musicians in this band - to the keys, drums and vocals also.

I don't know if you've gone on to listen to more of this band, but, they are highly versatile, with many, many forms of songs. I would suggest a few different style songs in the following, if you may care to listen to them just personally, or make a video or two with them: The Count of Tuscany, The Best of Times, Anna Lee, Take Away My Pain, Lifting Shadows Off a Dream, Six O'Clock, In The Name of God, Solitary Shell, Disappear, Blind Faith and Octavarium. There are a few softer ones in there, a couple mainstream style songs, and a couple heavier ones, like the ones you've heard too. Just figured I'd offer some names, in case you may want some pre-sorted for a few different styles. This band is crazy. XD

Finally Free - can’t do much better. The emotions, the power of the music & vocals and of course the Outro that sounds like a SW Darth music

Jamel ! I see you have never reacted to Norah Jones (or I cannot find any) ! Here’s a few I’ve also sent to Rob Squad Reacts: “Turn Me On” “Come Away with Me” “Don’t Know Why” “Cold Cold Heart” (She took Hank Sr.’s song and made it her own!) This gal can sing. Soooo smooth. Thanks for all of your videos. You are doing God’s work, bringing folks together. Thank you for influencing others as well. ✌️sir.

its been a long time and I just miss those stang faces when dream theater hits you like that lol

Rush 2.0. Incredible musicians.

Deep heavy and thick

I’ve always felt that they should not end on dancing of eternity but on one last time live (the next song on the album). Otherwise it can come of as a bit dry for those who don’t know the source melodies, the beginning overture 1928 or metropolis pt 1 really well.

You have to check out the cover from Unlucky Morpheus too. The keyboard part is played by a violin. Unlucky Morpheus is awesome anyway. "Angreifer" live would be my next tip.

Pure Epicness

Liquid Tension Experiment Acid Rain. Will blow your mind.

Thanks Jamal! These guys are all Master Musicians at the top of their game! My introduction to Dream Theater was PULL ME UNDER and OMG is their catalog f-ing amazing! But John Petrucci is a wizard with a guitar and Mike Portnoy is a beast on the drums! Second only to the Professor himself, Neill Peart! Love this? Liquid Tension Experiment is Dream Theater without lyrics. The four main musicians from DT, Rudess, Petrucci, Portnoy and Myung have so much spare time and music lying around they had to form another band to be able to express it.... And Mike Portnoy has another side project Sons of Apollo!! And their stuff ROCKS!! Try SOA - GOD OF THE SUN. You won't be disappointed...

Need to listen to their new album a view from the top of the world

Probably one of the most complex pieces of music ever written...

There's no way to follow the rhythm by clapping of this song after the keyboard comes in at the beginning 😅

A humble request from your brand new describer all the way from Finland: I would love to see and hear you reacting to a song "Silver Peacock" by a british Prog-Rock band called Beggars Opera. It's such a Fabulous tune! 😍💞🙏💎

If you haven't listened/reacted to it yet, Dream Theater's "Fatal Tragedy" is my favorite song of theirs...all of their songs (at least, the ones with lyrics) tell some kind of story. Please listen to "Fatal Tragedy"!

Please check out early Genesis. Genesis prior to 1975 was lead by Peter Gabriel and put some mind blowing progressive rock music. Gabriel quit the band in 1975 and that was the end of great Genesis but they were once great. Check out The Musical Box by Genesis.

Really need to hear " ilumination theory" from the same show it is amazing!!!!! One of my favorite songs by DT. And it has lyrics..... 😎

It’s dance OF eternity

Here's something you should like ( Funky Nassau ) by Beginning of the end

Accidently came across you a week ago when I was wanting to watch some Weird Al (surprised you haven't done Weird Al CNR) If you want to see some wild guitar playing check out Joe Satriani - Midnight playing it LIVE you will be blown away!!!

Day, idk in the hundreds, begging for “directly from my heart to you” little Richard cover by Frank Zappa. No ones done it. I’ve asked for over a year. I’ll fall over and die once it’s finally reacted to.

If you are looking for a band you have never heard that doesn't seem to have any blocking issues with the other reactors out there, try the Canadian Bluegrass band The Dead South. Here are some links to a few of their songs. Their most successful video has 267 million views on RU-vid and is called "In Hell I'll be in good company". m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B9FzVhw8_bY.html One of my personal favorites of their's is "The Recap" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c931dQ2UnNA.html Then there is "That Bastard Son" with a very memorable chorus. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i95sEX1YBlA.html And, amazingly, all these great songs are all off only their first album. That whole album is solid.

Without Mike Portnoy, this song will never be played the way it was intended.

GOD MYUNG

I've never heard of this band before so that's interesting 🤔

If you like dream theater try liquid tension experiment. It's the john jordan and Mike from dream theater plus Tony Levin from king crimson and they make some crazy shit

NOT ALOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT DREAM THEATER MUSIC ESPECIALLY IT'S NOT REALLY A RADIO F.M. OR A.M. STATION MUSIC I KNOW IT FROM THE AMAZING DRUMMER "M!KE PORTNOY" THE ORIGINAL DRUMMER BEFORE THAT YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT SOME OLDER VIDEOS GREAT REACTION THANKS JAMEL_AKA_JAMAL ✌🏼& LO💚E MY BROTHER

Check your messages Mel!! 👀😂👏🙏

Dream Theater "Home"! The only song I know of that has a sex scene in it.

😎👍 good stuff

Cheers from Portugal Jamel. I would like to let you a request to react to more Gojira. I know that you already listen to "The heaviest matter of the universe" (probably not the best first song from them to you to react, ALTHOUGH it's an amazing song!!), but PLEEEASE try to "listen" to others musics on studio version first, just to listen well to all of the instruments (they are genius) and to the (deep) lyrics. Gonna let you some music titles: Flying Whales, Born in Winter, Silvera, L'Enfant Sauvage, Stranded, The Gift of Guilt, Born for one Thing, Amazonia. I know that you gonna love them. Peace brother.

Try some Savatage! When The Crowds Are Gone. Best, but saddest song ever!

J man, try psychedelic furs. Flesh for lulu. Time to step beyond the box.

Helloween Halloween

@Jamel_AKA_Jamal. I have not seen you do a reaction to Sade music. Maybe you should do SADE -By your side

Sounds like something out of 70/80 Allen Parsons?😶😶

Some more 3 dog night, the ones You have done in the past, would be brilliant with Your Bros. 😁

Your interpretation was really intriguing... Might be a bit of an odd note that the song is really a metaphor for a sex scene in the album's story.

Wow yes plz do more dream theater plz

Wait until Jamal finds out the connection between Dream Theater and Trans Siberian Orchestra and starts listening to those songs.

You gotta check out some John Mayer my man. He’s smooth man Arguably one of the best guitar players today. Check out the live version of belief

These guys always felt to me like rush and metallica got smashed together

Have you introduced this one to your brothers yet?

NAY NAY these aren't artists. They are professional Musicians.

At the beginning, I thought Bill & Ted were about to give their History report. They should let Death play the stand-up bass, on this.

HEY BUDDY A LOT OF PROG ROCK IS INSTRUMENTAL........GOT IT ????

Please react to "The Spirit Carries On!"
