JM is actually starting to age. Since he never ages, I'm guessing he's approaching his 2500th B-Day. LOL Can't wait for the album, what I've heard so far is GREAT! Almost reminds me of the good old days.

Look at how classy and mature these guys are. Dream Theater has been and will always be one the GREATEST heavy progressive bands, PERIOD!!! 💪💪

The whole band: *laughs and makes jokes. Even Myung: *Slightly smiles Meanwhile Labrie: -_-

Very excited to hear JP’s 8 string work!

The computer-animated ”John Myung speaking” fantasy interview section wasn’t edited in very seamlessly.

I miss seeing Petrucci's facial expressions.

I'm always ready for Dream Theater.

The DT family all over the world is looking forward to 'A View From The Top Of The World'! 世界中のDTファミリーがA View From The Top Of The Worldを楽しみにしています。

I’m so excited for this album - ever since I heard James belting out “BIG CHUNGUS” I’ve been super excited for his vocals on this album, not to mention Mangini coming more and more alive each album… oh man I just can’t wait!

A Change of seasons is one of my absolute favourite songs so this interview made me very excited for the new album!

John Myung is my favourite of all time he is a cool guy.

Myung has such an infectious laugh. He is the Chuck Norris of Prog!

I couldn't be more happier and hyped for the release of this new album. Absolutely love Dream Theater. They are my favorite band ever, and listening to them on how they came to the ideas behind this new record is music for my ears.

I would urge anyone to watch the Dream Theatre: Drummer Auditions part 11 --- to get into the musical mindset of these unique and extraordinary musicians.

John Myung always so calm and silent. Never speaks unless he is being asked directly. He lets the others handle the talking. A when he says something , it feels like you´re on a meditation. Cool guy, great bass player! I love D.T and their music!

Looks like LaBrie wanted to reflect the saying on his t shirt on his face too.

Seeing these guys in Houston in December, John P was my fiancees guitar idol. He bought his Ernie Ball Music Man JP6 and was a terrific guitarist. Unfortunately May 27 2020 he passed away suddenly at the young age of 35. I am PRAYING I can bring his fav shirt with John P on it and the Ernie Ball and meet John for a pic in his honor.

Finally after 30 years of being immortal, father time has caught up to JM :p

When John Myung spoke, I couldn't really hear anything but I felt that emotion that Near Death Experiencers must feel when they see Jesus ..

5 minutes in and James' T-Shirt perfectly matches his facial expressions.

Can't wait to hear those Scenes From a Memory and Change Of Seasons influence on the upcoming record!

Its their first interview about their 15th album and it is uploaded on 15th of september

You always have to turn the volume up, once JM speaks… to hear the 5 words… love that guy :)

Awesome Interview with my favorite band! I recently been doing Karaoke of the entire Metropolis part 2 album. Love these guys!!!

This is the best James has looked in a long time

I have heard all their albums,practically grew up with them,never missed a album,I'm about to buy a Vinyl stereo just a simple set up just to listen to their music,its very moody and beautiful and inspiring so...uplifting..so positive,and Jeff's voice just soars on those albums,I can almost imagine the singing on this new album,since they been gone from the studio for a long...time,they probably pushed themselves over the edge on this album🤔🎸🎵🎼🎶

it was 1996 and I was 18 years old, I already listened to several rock and metal bands, one day a school mate gave me a tape of a band called "dream theater". it contained songs like "pull me under", "under a Glass Moon", "a Change of Seasons" ... I have never heard anything like it ! my life has changed! the following year FII came out, it was my first concert!

Yea legend has it that if you're sitting next to the interveiwer you're ignored lol! Nice hair Mike!

I can’t wait for the album. And I still can’t get over that glorious beard on J.P. Man, I just love these guys. The one band I've been listening to for the better part of two decades - and they’re still around, still creating epic music. Thanks for keeping the dream alive. 🙏🤘

Imagine how epic a film would be , if they made the sound track.

These guys are great! I love this! The positivity is just contagious! Can't wait to get the album and see them in Toronto.

I'm exciting, can't wait any longer...

I like a lot the title of this album, i think this is my favorite. I'm sure the album will be another masterpiece of DT! Can't wait to listen to it. Nice interview guys!

John Myung has not aged a day. That's the power of the groove

I am a South Korean like Myung and Joe Hann in Linkin Park. Dream Theater has not just been a band but a life time teacher to me from whom I have learned so much about what life is. It's been 30 years now since I became the biggest fan of Dream Theater. I feel so thankful to their existence itself. My life would be a totally different one now if it had not been for them really.

I can't wait for October 22nd please bring another single! Can you get enough of this guys talking about their music? Whatta Legends!

I can't wait to hear the second single and the full album Dream Theater you guys rock my world 🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁

Woo hoo - Proj Report time! So excited about the new album. Thank you guys for drawing from the creative well so deeply over so many years.

I'm so happy that they are so workerholic. Cannot wait another month. Love you guys!

What an album. Blew me totally away. Thanks guys for making this kind of experiences. Awesome

7:02 - 7:29 : John Myung never spoke so much during an interview. World record !

DT is amazing band very emotion video and excelent new single (The Alien) a big hug from argentina

Much love from France guys, love you since... Whoah a long time now. Very hyped for the new album 😎

So happy the title says "PART 1" cause I wanna hear MORE! :D

Can't wait the new album. Beside the musical inspiration, the Personalities of the members also play a big role in my life. DT forever ❤

There something about this interview that shows how much these band mates that have become such a huge reference to the genre are taking their music, their fans, and their influences so seriously. This is Dream Theater. Will there ever be another ?

mike is amazing, saw them live today!

We all look at dream theater from the top of the world,when I first saw dt in 92 I've always been looking at dt from the top of the world

I'm so happy to hear they are revisiting old songs and incorporate the DT essence to the new album.

Maaan, I was pumped for this album and then in this video them saying that A Change of Seasons influenced this new album a lot is making me even more excited for this!!!!!!

I remember DT in Fucecchio at Festival Marea ahhhh legendary...love u guys forever greetings from Italy!

See you in Zagreb next year! Its gonna be a dream come trough seeing you live

Looking forward to the new album. Love the reference to A Change Of Seasons. That is my favorite track of DT.

all the news that comes from DT directly, I always like it....

I’m excited guys!

JM needs to talk more in interviews I actually like his voice it’s soothing and calm. And when he talks he has some of the best answers to the questions

Estamos todos de acuerdo en que JM es genial!!!!

John Myung is so active today! I’m impressed!

Get this album in my lifffffeeeeee already..............

I like how silent and shy JM is. You can sense that he is a geniue good "Buddy" Type of guy. Much love!

🤟🤟🤟🤟 waiting for new album

DT only puts out top notch quality music. I am so exited for this new journey album.

Imma blast through this whole album in one night at work

While watching this interview, I saw a video of theirs - wanted to know who played what--- WOW. Their set up is amazing and impressive. Love how they incorporated the background choir - and pit orchestra. Do they always do this? Coming back to the interview, one cannot help to be in awe of them. I like their concept and appreciate their musicianship, add cool intelligence to the list.

Love the band hope u come to Rochester new York

Strong words by John Myung

Amazing

An awesome interview with my musical Superheroes!

🤘🏽 i can't wait!

oh my lord i cant wait for this

cd is order cant wait for the release.

James is never seen in a shirt without words ( and images?) on it

I really love you guys.

And the drummer as per usual just sits n stares!! :)

This album brought a lot of lte ideas, i'm very excited to see the final result.

Looking forward to no15! :) What I've heard so far I already locked on to as it doesn't seem to follow this ridiculous loudness-war - there's a transparency in 'Alien' that I missed before... I hope the rest is the same, less fatiguing! (none of us is getting any younger 😉😭🤣) I hope you always get to do what you guys enjoy doing best - and long may that continue 👍

"A change of seasons" is the exact reason why I've become a greater fan of Dream Theater last couple of years in comparison to previous ones in which I just heard a couple of compositions and just liked them and didn't pay much attention to this band. And that is not because I was unfortunate to lose my Mom last year (which on a personal level made Portnoy's message in that song resonate with me even stronger today than when I first discovered it back in 2019-2020.) This particular song is a masterpiece in almost every aspect - it is a 20-something minute long EP, has 3 incredible solos, but the lyrics are so strong and so powerful, I always want to like... jump and shout the end phrases before it finishes. The album cover is also great. I am a fan of winter type of guy so I have had periods in my life where I felt like a small kid playing naked in the snow. Because life's really cold sometimes (in a metaphoric sense). The other great reason why I love that song is that it's about life in general and the maturity that you get and the lessons that you learn from such an experience losing a parent/loved one when you're mid-age. I'm 30 now and I believe that in 1995 these guys were around that point in life so it makes perfect sense to have this song pan out the way it did and transcend this truly meaningful message about life. Guys are amazing! They made a wonderful concert in Sofia, Bulgaria this Monday. But my true DREAM is to hear Change of Seasons the next time around. I wonder if that would ever be possible in my lifetime?

7:01 - He speaks....

Pacific northwest fans say "thanks for including us this tour! See you soon" ♫

Let's go baby!!! So glad you guys are a very productive band. I wish Metallica and Megadeth had made as much progress as you guys had since the pandemic!! lol

DT permitió que el rock progresivo no muriera allá por los 90s. Y refrescó el genero agregando ese sonido metalero y dejando volar las ideas locas con su virtuosismo. Para ese entonces las bandas clásicas en actividad habian dejado de lado el caracter progresivo. Y DT lo reivindicó yendo en contra de todas las modas de los ultimos 30 años. Aguante DT papu!

Wow🤩🤩

Can't wait, it's all I have to say

You can tell the instruments they play by their shoes. Drummer has thin, light chucks, singer has big show-y boots, keys & guitar just some comfortable whatever trainers and bass got the heavy duty anchors on his feet.

Pretty damn hype for this not gonna lie

I'm hoping the new album has a more dynamic mastering provided in both the Hi-Res and Blu-ray release. They have done this for the entire Mangini era so I am hoping for this trend to continue on 'A View From The Top Of The World'.

♥️♥️♥️

Os cara não virão no Brasil vei...doido pra ver o show dos cara!!!

There is a new solo album from JLB coming? Sweet!

Cool thanks guys

nobody talking about how fuckin perfect Labrie sounds in this album god dam

John Myung is wearing the boots from the album cover.

We appreciate you making good use of the pandemic. Thanks for the great music! 🤘

Appreciate & sincere respect to DT, still get along & keep creative- A little super huge of a dream that Dream theater Mike Portnoy - reunited - playing all ( Budokan Live 2004 ) Songlists & Full album of Image & Words next ) please make it happen please...Becouse i believe "Me & all of Dream Theater fans all over the World is dreaming, wishing & waiting for that moment to finally come, true"

what are these guys doing is fabulous , making a new album in every 2 years since + 20 years.. with 100 and 100 riffs in each one.. they are so fucking creative.. look for exemple at Metallica simple songs and they are struggling making new ideas

Woooo 😀😍

_SIMPLY LEGIT 🌋_

This band drives my musical spirit. What an amazing class of musicians and people are Dream Theater. Will be taking in my 23rd show in November. Cant wait.

Congrats for ur 1st Grammy, Guyss

His tattoo still looks so clean!
