Thiago Campos - Metropolis (Dream Theater cover)

I have to say, this is one of those rare occasions when an almost exact cover version of a song actually ends up sounding better than the original. Every single musician is simply amazing.

Will Shaw hits every high note and his voice is in my opinion a little more pleasing than Dream Theater's Labrie's (that will earn me some enemies). Thiago Campos has mastered Petrucci's technique and seems to play his lightning fast licks with unbelievable ease. Paulinho "Portnoy" brings the drums of a young Mike Portnoy back to life in all their glory. Felipe Campos excels at the six string bass guitar and Cesar Zolhof delivers an amazing performance.

I am a big fan of progressive metal of the nineties/early noughties, so this video brought a lot of good memories.
