I've seen some of these videos and footage from their latest live shows. It's CLEAR some things are being hidden on purpose and overdubbed, it's a shame but I can understand the reason for it.

it's sad though because it basically means Labrie is completely worn out and can barely sing at all, I wish he could take a long break and try to heal his voice but commercially I suppose they can't stop.

I don't believe these actions are done in order to deceive fans, I do believe they're trying their best to be professional towards the outside. I personally stopped listening to them almost 10 years ago.

It reminds me the mili vanili story where all of it was fake and it was discovered (there are different versions as to how it was discovered) and the Grammy was taken from them.

I don't believe anyone is going to take their glory and frankly I don't understand the purpose of the video.

To all of the folks saying "the Instagram video is obviously a joke," it's not obviously a joke, due to the sheer amount of crap that's been going on with this band since 2015-ish. If someone had told me 10 years ago that Dream Theater would make an album of warmed-over Disney musicals, and then LaBrie would start lip-syncing, I'd assume they were joking. You really can't put anything past this band at this point in time, and they never clarified the Petrucci video was meant to be a joke.

I agree with a lot of the points you make in most videos. But this video is obviously a joke or simply something meant to tease fans.

The Ravenskill Rebel Militia

If you're referring to the Instagram video, it could be, but then you have the matter of the faked vocals at live shows.

Man I appreciate your determination in going against Dream Theater and JamesaBrie. I mean, I don't fucking get why you would do such a thing with such a dedication, but it has to be appreciated. I'm sure I'm gonna sound banal, why don't you just let go and enjoy some other music?

@Roberto Pinto Because I care passionately about the truth and think our society has gone off the rails with the amount of dishonesty. Dream Theater is but one microcosm of that, of many more millions.

@The Ravenskill Rebel Militia yes, but even then, why do you care so much 😅

The Ravenskill Rebel Militia

Look at the lame ass excuses put out by the band's fans, and you'll see why I keep going.

YouTubers have been enabling DT to get away with their crap. That's the point of this video.

It would be cool if you would do a rant on become the knight, probably the most pretentious guitar oriented youtuber, which isn't a surprise considering how big of a dream theater and "prog" fanboy he is... All the bands he despise or doesn't care about, like Black sabbath, Megadeth, Death or Voivod are million times more progressive and creative than any of the modern djent prog that he likes...i mean, he thinks it is cool to be self-proclaimed "music snob", even though being any kind of snob is a really bad thing.

I talk about him in my video called "Who Wrote Distance Over Time?" He doesn't interest me too much as a target, nor does Ola. There are so many opportunist idiots on YouTube, so little time. I'm particularly irked by people who specialize in "reaction" videos, or grade-school level humor applied to rock and metal - Steve Terreberry, Jared Dines, Samus66, Bradley Hall types. One thing you'll notice about these fake ass "rock and metal Youtubers" is that they rarely, if ever, take genuinely controversial stances on anything like I do. No balls. They just want to fit in.

Bro when i saw that video i literally laughed out loud at how blatantly sped up it is

I liked the new album personally and I’m just curious but did you like the new album? Probably not but I’m just curious cus I still like listening to the band but not any of their live performances although I did see them live for the first time recently and thought it was alright if maybe a bit too loud, I personally agree with most things on this channel like the lip syncing stuff and what not but I mean it doesn’t bother me as it might you cus I only like listening to the albums on Spotify but hey nothing wrong with disagreeing right?

Kiwi Floods

@The Ravenskill Rebel Militia I personally really don’t like black metal but I can respect the love for the Beatles. I and I assume you also like older to mid era DT more than new era stuff and hey I even like the astonishing despite all of its problems which I know you don’t but hey it’s nice to hear differing opinions so your not in a constant echo chamber. But now I’m even more curious if you had to pick between modern DT or hip hop which would you choose? Personally despise most modern hip hop and top 40 shit, and I would pick modern DT any day over that stuff.

The Ravenskill Rebel Militia

@Kiwi Floods Any of those options are better than crap like modern DT, Tesseract, Periphery, etc.

Kiwi Floods

@The Ravenskill Rebel Militia ah so like black metal and classic rock stuff like the Beatles and Elton John then?

The Ravenskill Rebel Militia

@Kiwi Floods Anything but "prog metal," "djent," "-core," hip hop, modern country, or top 40 radio crapola.

Kiwi Floods

Which bands do you listen to then if this isn’t your thing?

i completely get what you feel about the band but dude, just stop acting as they owe you a damn thing. just chill and enjoy the music they have written while they were in their prime. it's a live show, Petrucci has to play lots of complex stuff and everybody knows he's lip-syncing for ages. who cares? i personally don't and i wouldn't consider this as a problem. LaBrie should have quit the band when he was still a respected vocalist. overdubbing the vocals of the whole live album is just another level of "LaBrieing" but did he fake some of the lead vocals at the live shows? lol it's better for me. i already paid for a show in the summer and i don't want my ears to bleed. you can't theorize everything. i used to watch and dig all of your videos the time you were MrDreamTheater2 but the point is, you really should stop attacking the band in this way. looks just childish to me.

like Akerfeldt said once, people carry their favorite bands in their pockets as if they own them. anyways, On the Backs of Angels solo over The Enemy Insıde is fucking dope.

Petruccist

@The Ravenskill Rebel Militia yup.

@Petruccist In spite of playing highly complicated guitar parts, Petrucci DID used to sing backing vocals. It stopped when Mike Portnoy left the band.

@The Ravenskill Rebel Militia i wouldn't define myself as a typical DT fan tbh.

A lot of fans or DT lovers act like the band owes something to them, it wasn't some sort of personal criticism. But with the videos you make, you act like they have to give an account of themselves. i'm trying to criticize you as neutral as possible since i'm neither a blind faith fan nor a hater.

Petruccist

2y↑1

@sepita10 yeah and probably they won't realize but about the caring circumstance, i guess it all comes to personal perspective thingy. i'm a musician as well and i'm thinking if i had complicated guitar work similar to Petrucci's, i wouldn't even attempt to look like i actually sing. the backing vocal stems would just go in and go out and there wouldn't be a microphone in front of me. maybe that would be better tho, nobody claims they sing the backing vocals in that situation.

I don't get the DT fan argument that "I act like the band owes me something." I'm not asking for anything from the band but basic standards of honesty and respect.

At those recent shows LaBrie got a bit better, but they still fake that bridges in the sky part, even though he's now capable of singing it. What a travesty, I swear, I'd rather prefer LaBrie to sing with a real time pitch correction that seein him just fucking mimic singing and ape around the stage (even out of sync with the playback, lol)

Just listen to another band dude. Why al this drama for a cheesy band like dream theater.

Who the hell even listens to DT in 2022 ? They can play cardi b covers for what I care. Havent heard a consisten album from the since Train of Thought.

@Living Being That's a bastardized version of my saying "Moore was the Dream, Portnoy was the Theater." They were still a good band after Moore left, but they didn't 'have as many "dreamy" parts like Wait For Sleep, the intro of Surrounded, Space-Dye Vest, to name a few.

I think BC&SL was their last decent effort. Coincidentally their last record with Portnoy.

Anyway, the writing and melodies from I&W and Awake have never been reached again.

They became a show-off technique band, especially recently. The fanboys probably had something to do with it, with their constant hype and elitism for decades.

I still remember this comment "with Kevin Moore they were 100% Dream, after they became 100% Theater", or something like that. Wich isn't far from the truth.

@The Ravenskill Rebel Militia luckily I don't use social media , maybe apart from YouTube, so I don't see that.
From what I see during their concerts , most of their public are musicians.
I do play guitar, but i go to the concert to listen to the music
As long as it's interesting, the performer can have a flop or two. I really don't mind.
The problem I have with DT is that , their music is no longer giving me any chills.
If I would dive into the technical aspects... Yes.. probably I would go ecstatic , but I approach them as normal listener who likes to listen to some story told with interesting sounds, and for the past 15 years I don't hear that in their music.

I constantly ask myself the question of who would still consider themselves a fan of this band after:

1. Really bad drum engineering on 2013 album
2. Live At Wacken
3. The Astonishing
4. Continuing farcical vocals from LaBrie

A lot of it is people who can't stop circle jerking on DT social media sites.
