Watched James Labrie on The Charismatic Voice , now Jordan Rudess here . Been a great day.

Holy shit, Doug! AWESOME

It’s actually healthy jealousy knowing that when Doug listens to DT, he hears it on a totally different level than most hardcore fans. He sees the notes in his head & counts every note. The brain power required for that type of interpretation is inspirational. Australia loves your work mate. It’s a pleasure & a real treat. All the best 👏👏👏

Jeez Doug, you have outdone yourself now, this is certainly a quantum leap in music interviews, you are rapidly becoming a major player in the music biz arena, thanks a lot for all the effort and inspiration you put in your work. You are beginning to reap the well deserved benefits, congratulations .

Would love Doug to react to Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

What a reward for all the work you have put into your channel which we greatly appreciate, especially as you have developed a something of a soft spot for Dream Theater like so many us viewers.

Jeez im geeking out hard right now

The man was a musical prodigy when he was a kid. This is what a modern day Mozart looks and talks like. Today, as a grown man, he's a musical genius. And Doug, it's clear the *quality* of your musical reviewing / listening is what are getting big-wigs like Jordan to pay attention to you. You deserve this, and more. Love your channel.

Whoa, I wasn't expecting this! Looking forward to hearing what you two have in store for us here.

Awesome, I'm so glad it happened finally! I remember how enthusiastic I was when Jordan joined DT, because I had seen him with Morgenstein before and it was a blast. (The Rudess /Morgenstein Project played before DT in Budapest in 1998). Doug, thanks for making this conversation happen. :)

Great interview. That iPad cello interface was amazing. Dream Theater fans may also be interested in hearing Elizabeth Zharoff's (The Charismatic Voice) interview with James LaBrie, which premiered last week.

What a treat. Thanks Doug. 👌

My first thought when Rudess panned around the room to show us his toys was, "My god, he's got his own music store", LOL

An evening with john petrucci really is one of my favorite albums of all time. I listen to it all day!

You just did a Video conversation with one of greatest keyboardists in human history that is very very down to earth... Amazing

Jordan becoming just another DT fan just made this album drop day even more awesome.

Jordan is top 1000 in the world. His sound is unique, he's got feeling, technique, speed when required, he is great. Oh, I'm talking about him playing the GUITAR. Keybords? He is on a high isolated level, by himself, looking down at the rest of human kind and thinking "I like those tiny mortals, I shall play them some genius stuff". Jordan is the BEST musician ever.

Thanks for the composition process question, Doug ! Quite interesting to understand from a player/composer like Rudess.

Jordan Rudess once worked with the legendary guitar virtuoso Vinnie Moore on his album Time Odyssey. Something for Doug to check out!

Wow! Man that was cool. So, doug, you're gunna consider 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence for a long-comp playthrough in the near-medium future, right? I know we'll all have an awesome time digging into it. It was so cool to hear you guys riffing on modern music tech and stuff. Can't wait to see the reactions!

One composer interviewing another composer. Doug is the perfect person to interview Jordan. This was great!

That's one of those smiles like a child has when they walk in to a candy store. Pure awesomeness Doug

The Wizard! This was amazing to hear you guys talk

Grew up idolizing Jordan, my marching band did a DT show in high school and I had a pretty sick xylophone solo...took forever to learn it was hard lol. I love reaction videos, especially ones with people like Doug that know what they're talking about. It's a treat to hear y'all talk

I still remember watching the very first heavy metal reaction (Fear of the dark), and being so impressed, while other KZreadrs just say wow!, Doug takes the time to explain everything, so much fun. So glad about this latest video

What a score! Thanks Doug and Jordan! I might not understand a lot of what you are discussing, but it's still incredibly interesting to hear professionals talk about their trade :-)

Great Job Doug

Nothing beats these dudes trying to out music-nerd each other! Amazing to see how although they may come from different musical backgrounds, great music is the universal glue of culture. Hope this is the beginning of a trend👍

36:46 GEO SHRED INTERFACE! This thing has 6 strings and the guitar scales mapped out ! This is right out of Science Fiction

What a fantastic surprise for the DT fans that follow you.

Excellent to see two composers and keyboardists having a chat. Doug, it's official, you're in the cool kids table :) Seriously, I would never ask for half what's in here, and yet I was more than happy to enjoy Patreon. So awesome!!!! PS still have morphwiz on my Android. Hes done some amazing incursions... Oh consider watching his collabs with Project RnL, he uses his iPad & Morphwiz there. Plus the collabs with Project RnL (and that band itself) are fantastic

I love that analog modular behind him! Hey Doug I think you should get a prog rock band together! It’s never too late to have fun…

Damn, I've been a hardcore DT fan since 2001 and Doug makes a reaction channel, discovers DT like a month ago and now he's talking to them! Kudos man wow.

Wow! Doug, that was the most fascinating interview I’ve seen in a long while! I’m an older prog guy who never discovered Dream Theater. My son turned me on to LTE a few years ago, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Jordan Rudess is an insane keyboardist, and a very nice dude. His demeanor reminds of Neil Peart. Totally knowledgeable about his craft, but an easy going, real person. Great job, Doug! I loved it!

Congrats on the interview Doug.. nicely done and well deserved!!

Certainly two really skilled dudes here, not just speaking of Jordan. Also greatly enjoyed this conversation, I am personally a bigger fan of Emerson and Kerry Minnear. But there is no doubt that Jordan is a world class keyboardplayer and one of the modern greats of electric keyboards. Jordan is also a really nice and humble guy too.

@smitlag

2 жыл бұрын

Great comment. I think Minnear was the epitome of a musician. Not only as a multi instrumentalist but in really taking anyone who listened to him to school in advanced theory, ear training and a sense of timing only matched by a computer. He was not really a sound designer. He sort of liked his palette of keyboards and sounds and stayed with them. His collection of organs, various electric pianos, clavinet and a little synth here and there. Emerson was not only amazing in his playing and as a performer. He deserves much credit in taming a giant synthesizer that was never meant to leave a studio. But as a true keyboardist also in re imagining his roles for each of his hands. Which is something many piano players that start playing keyboards seem to not get. Turn your left hand into a second right hand. Keith also brought in a lot of inspiration from modern classical composers and incorporated techniques used in classical piano playing. In the big league everyone can play fast. But he brought in octaves,extended jumps with either hand, double notes and fast repeated notes on one key which are things classical pianist run into all the time. He was the pioneer in so many ways. Another player of that era I see as a bridge to Jordan's playing, is Eddie Jobson. Eddie had not only incredible chops and jazz sensibility but like Jordan he was a sound designer and really able to push the technology of the time. Jordan , while technically brilliant impresses me more as the guru of the modern keyboard technolgy. He is a keyboard designer's ideal user. An extremely intelligent man, Jordan gets the most out of any sound instrument he is using.

​@@smitlag Great comment, yes I agree. Eddie Jobson is among my biggest heroes and I think he is quite underrated. I discovered the Yamaha CS-80 through his work on the U.K albums and his work with that synth is iconic. Also, Presto Vivace and Reprise has to be among the most technically demanding pieces to play in prog music in its entirety and really demonstrate that he was certainly not behind Rudess or Emerson technically in any way.

@smitlag

@@snuppssynthchannel the first UK album is a platinum standard for prog albums of all time . Eventhough you definitely hear the stronger influences of the Wetton pieces vrs the Holdsworth/Bruford pieces, Eddie managed to glue them together. The CS80 is incredible sounding on that cd. Another player I really liked although I have no idea what he is doing these days was Mark Robertson of the prog band Cairo. He threaded the line between classically trained pianist and amazing keyboardist very well.

This is great! Thanks for putting this out.

Great interview Doug

What Jordan is talking about is scratch-tracks to get the creativity going. You record without too much worry about making mistakes and so forth, just to get in on track so you can listen to it. THEN you take notes listening to it to find ways to improve it. It's the Agile way of creating music! Oh and I fell in love with the Moog when I listened to the first Yngwie J Malmsteen album, Rising Force. I think Jordan is talking about the IK Multimedia sounds.

Way to go Doug! You're the best thing in the Internet! Talking with the gods now... Just wow... I'm deeply impressed. I met Jordan in Wien one time, casually walking on the street. Such a cool guy!

This is fantastic! And... timely.

Great interview Doug, thank you very much

Octivarium is the 1st Dream Theater album I heard and to this day is my favorite album of all time.

Fantastic interview!
