I was just browsing over at the dream theater general discussion boards and someone made a post about the best screams in music. Not to my surprise, Devy got a lot of mentions. I think it would be cool to compile a list of his best and coolest screams.

I'll start off with the part in The Death of Music when he absolutely screams his soul out around 9:48
It's like a death becomes musical, its musical
It's like a death becomes musical, its muscial
WAAAHHAAAHAHAAAAHAOOOAHOAHOAOA!!!

awesome! so lets get some more up here! include SYL too if you so desire.

CANNOT EVER forget that little 14 second beauty after Thing Beyond Things.

My neighbours know that one all too well. If they have been bad - they get that at 400 watts at 4am.

best screams in DTB or SYL as well? Dynamics is full of powerful wails, Namaste has some good ones. The operatic intro to soul driven... but in terms of sheer ridiculousness, nothing tops what he does in SYL...
The phantom-of-the-opera-ish stuff he does in bring on the young, His wail in the beggining of All Hail The new flesh is insane, his rant in critic, and of course the epic screech in Shine.
haha, my brother once said when i played SYL and DTB for him that if Devy was more handsome, with a voice like that he could take over the world

The first scream in 'all hail the new flesh' is amazing. And the one after the mellow section in 'mountain' after the glass shatters is great too.

All of dev's screams rule.

The first section of Processional has some of the most insane screaming ever, I think. I don't know how Devy can go so high!

There are many, many more. Every album has some memorable moments like these.

Another good one is Funeral (2:19 + 3:35). Infact, that song is filled with good bits.

WEeeeeeeee.

As I've been in hospital for soon a month, I've had plenty of time listening to Dev and SYL from this laptop's winamp, aloud of course with portable small speakers...

Just imagine this: You've woke up, you know someone's coming soon again, giving nasty shots or taking blood from your arm, or just asking some tiresome questions about how are you feeling...oh that s w e e t satisfaction what it brings when you're listening to SYL's Oh My Fucking God live version, and at the same time a nurse/doctor enters your room, you put full volume and let Dev scream to everybody in the room: 'GET DOWN THERE AND SUCK MY BUDDIE'S COCK!!!'

Sweet Jesus, it IS worth of that.

CANNOT EVER forget that little 14 second beauty after Thing Beyond Things.

first time i heard that song im like oh what a nice song, i went to lie down for a bit, just shut my eyes ...

BLAAAAh
g'damn it scared me. i cut it out and used it in a project (movie project) once a year ago, sorry dev i never asked permission

oh man, Bring on the Young has some of my favorites from SYL.
Bring on the HATE! HATE! HATE!
BURN!! BURN!!

also from Love?
I'm not the man you know-ohohoh
Cause love is about CONTROL!!!

i think his scream of "I"VE SEEN YOUR SHAME" in Shine(i think?) is hot

it's "I've seen your shine'.

yeah that's a good one.... The aftermath chorus fucks up my shit, it's so awesome

it's "I've seen your shine'.

...agree to that point.....

Some of his best screams are in Thalamus...

But I can't believe no one mentioned the impossibly long scream at the beginning of "All Hail the New Flesh". That scream broke my sanity...

The choke-like screams in OMFG are really fun!

Some good ones in "Death" (despite the voice-fx).

Nobody's Here also has a really good scream. Its the type of scream thats like, ok man i just need to scream right now ok?
