KOREANS LOVE DREAM THEATER

When I started watching this live video of Dream Theater performing “Metropolis” ten (maybe more?) years ago, I was thinking that the complete fucking ape-shitness of the audience pegged it to Japan. I was wrong; around the 2:40 mark James LaBrie yells “Korea!” I’ve just never seen this kind of fervor at a Dream Theater concert in the states; there’s practically a fucking moshpit. At a Dream Theater concert. Usually it’s a bunch of dudes (and it’s always just dudes) nodding their heads to the beat with their jaws on the floor and their dicks in their hands (yup, I’m guilty as charged!). James LaBrie sounds like complete crap here, so the LaBrie-hating contingent will have their field day here (and I know there are a lot of you), but the rest of the band is at full strength with a furious wind whipping their hair around for maximum rockness.
