Music Video - Dream Theater

Another week is here. Let's start it with some fantastic music, shall we?


I have posted a drawing of their drummer as well as an album cover and a review of their latest album and mentioned many times that they are one of my favorite bands. But finally the time has come to also post a music video with these amazingly talented musicians.

This is a live version of Dream Theater's Surrounded from their most popular album Images and words. And yes, I once had the "da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da..." melody as the signal for my phone. It is taken from a concert in Tokyo back in the early 90's when Kevin Moore was still keyboardist in the band (the current keyboardist is Jordan Rudess, other than that the members are still the same).

Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do:

Music Video - Metallica

Time for another music video and this time it is from a band loved by many - and hated by many (due to the fileshare conflict some years ago). This is the metal band that actually made me start playing drums 20 years ago. In my teens they were my idols, covered the walls of my room and I went to see them live many times. Of course I'm talking about Metallica.

Although their latest releases can't measure up, two of their albums are considered to be among the 10 best metal albums ever. Here is their classic ballad Nothing else matters. Brings back sweet memories to me. Time to find a lighter!

Music Video - Iced Earth

Another of the most prominent power metal bands is Iced Earth. Here is a live version of the song Melancholy, from the popular album Something wicked this way comes:

Music Video - Symphony X Live

A few days ago I posted the trailer for the upcoming movie remake of Clash of The Titans. Let's stay in the realms of gorgons and deadly shores for a while, shall we? Here is one of my favorite songs with one of my favorite progressive metal bands. A great live version of The Eyes of Medusa.

I have seen this band live twice - once with Stratovarius (one of my favorite power metal bands) and once with Dream Theater (one of my favorite bands, all categories). Russell Allen truly has a magnificent voice. One of the best metal singers for sure. And Romeo, Rullo, Pinella and LePond are top notch musicians.

Also want to wish you all a
Happy New Year!


My resolution is to keep running and developing this blog further in 2010. Please tell me what is already great and what could be better about it. Which of the main categories (Movies, Music, Art, Games, Books) should get more focus? I'll do my best to make all our dreams come true. See you next year!
