  • Amazing Grace?????? This sounds more like Generic Uninspiring Grace.

  • @AdrenalineThrob This sounds like....fuck you, just fuck you, that's what it sounds like.

  • Inspired by Steve Morse :D

  • this cover sucks.

  • Amazing grace is the sound in between his pointless shred.  Seriously JP is 'good' on a highschool level but he should have left the guitar playing to real men

  • @MikeOrlandoGuitar And you could play something as impressive? I didn't think so..

  • @F4LL3NxSS Have you even heard my album/s? Check out Adrenaline Mob EP or wait till next week for the Omerta cd release.  It will blow your fucking mind

  • @MikeOrlandoGuitar Listening to your stuff, I still have that hands down John Petrucci still takes it, without a doubt. Don't be so full of yourself, it only makes you seem like an arrogant prick.

  • @F4LL3NxSS Have to say that*

  • @MikeOrlandoGuitar would you please fuck off?

  • And he rested?? Nah this is what he did on the seventh day.

  • Jeff Beck did it sooo much better...

  • Did John find Jesus? If so good for him!

  • @1969spacecowboy He found him down the back of the couch.

  • @1969spacecowboy Implyng he isn't actually Jesus

  • 17 people will never get an AMAZING GRAZE

  • Beautiful, simple, virtuosic. A lovely version of a timeless classic. And I had the privledge of being in the crowd that night. Also, check out the song, "In The Moment", by Petrucci and Rudess.

  • e Dio creo' il perfetto chitarrista!

  • is it possible to be too proficient? I've always admired his skills. And consider him a great player. But...don't own a single song of his.

  • Niania!

  • Sorry but wow, what a waist, I like JP but quiet poor version, it is like he's lacking of melody, it is really weired to speed up things suddenly and it sounded like guitar exercices in some moments...check out Lincoln Brewster's version it is the best imo!

  • Portnoy sounds amazing during this

  • i am ready to be taught to play guitar by John Petrucci and die at the end of the last lesson !!

  • HALLELUJA!!! PRAISE BE TO GOD ALMIGHTY AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST!!! He saved a wretch like me!!!

  • @devonnebusby God doesn't exist. Unless you're talking about Petrucci. Take your children's fables elsewhere.

  • @TheRealBorlos If God doesn't exist how could I love you soooo much? I'll be thinking of you :)

  • I think that JP is the emblem of our years' guitar playing. It doesn't mean that he's the best one (even though he's amazing), but his technical skills, his high-speed accuracy, his improvising and composing solos style, the absolute mastery of the sound and the versatility are the skills that every guitar player of our time is supposed to try to reach.

  • His biceps are better guitar players than Hetfield and Hammett combined.

  • I cant find words for his emotional expression from his soul to his fingers. Sure he can play fast but the extra touch in the tone is something that John has that i have never ever (except for Hendrix) heard from a guitarist

  • How does he play such a beautiful song with just One position? He doesn't even have to move!

  • mother of god...

  • glasgow kiss is better (my opinion)

  • i was all like wow he's pretty still (one minute later) I hear guitar but he's still not moving...Oh

  • i was crying!!!

  • This is PATHETIC!!!!!!! Fucking' bullshit!! There's not one note that references his NOISE to Amazing Grace....NOT one fucking NOTE!!! This exactly what I've said for years and fuckin' years...this fucker plays "MUSICAL NONSENSE!!" Musical mumbling, ramblings.... This cocksucker can NOT do anything musical. This is an insult to the original, beautiful song. You dumb-fucks wanna hear Amazing Grace for guitar, listen to Vai's version.

  • @crappystruth Whoa, you just showed me the error of my ways. Now I agree with you because you cussed and insulted music that a lot of people enjoy. Your years and years of anger at somebody's own personal expression have finally payed off.

  • @kristofor12345 Its a troll ;)

  • @vanhalen0123 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

    UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • @crappystruth Let me tell you that you are a moron! Not because of your opinion, but because of the way you say it. Everybody has different tastes in music, I agree, but if you don't like it, don't watch it! You don't have the right to bullshit on a player, it's not true that he can't play a note: in fact, he plays alot more notes than I'll ever play in my life in only one guitar solo. There's no guitarists better than another. and finally no one really care about what you said for years.

  • STFU and listen to the music, the BS on here is the F reason people with a faith interest so much crap on themselves...just be example in WHAT you do, not a F mouth about it.

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • amazing grace was never about god...

  • omg his hands dont even move he's so awesome

  • Awesome shit, thank you for this

  • Comment removed

  • You shut your fucking mouths when John Petrucci is fucking playing. Take your bullshit elsewhere, dumb fucks.

  • @Jaymzzz1349 thank you man some one who knows an amazing musician thanks again bro

  • Ah ha! you are all missing the point there is no debate there is only people enjoying the pleasure of an ego satisfied. No one told you shit to do you ain't yet challenged. I bet. So you can just call that amazing grace cause it is, but if you are bored just read between the lines. every mufa on here is enjoying their own responses and the fuel that keeps

  • God makes people happy, sounds like delusion to me, it's same as how a drunk person is happier than a sober one, maybe that's why atheists argue so much about religion, because it's completely against logic and common sense which a normal person when talking about things other than religion would have.

  • some of it sounds like steve morse, epic guitar!

  • If you're wondering why there are so many comments from Christians on this video it's because Amazing Grace is a Christian hymn. You can easily find the original lyrics and story behind Amazing Grace via Google. Many of us came to this vid wanting to see Petrucci's rendition (which is beautiful to me, a Christian) of one of our favorite hymns, many of us are responding to the video and other comments from our beliefs, and many of us along with our faith in Christ are being needlessly insulted.

  • ke hermosura se oye la guitarra +

  • Our guitar god!!!!!!

  • Saw Yes a zillion years ago. Came the time for Chris Squire's bass solo, he did the obligatory "Fish" licks then morphed into "Amazing Grace." WOW.

  • This is just so... FUCKING... beautiful.

  • Who needs evidence when you have faith... Nah im just trollin xD

  • Oh god, this should be illegal. I hate when some can pull a tear jerker on the fly. Damn!

  • I die a little inside each time I come across a youtube white knight on the top comments.

  • Weird that he's playing a song written about himself.

  • interesting intro to spirit carries on. lol sounds amazing nonetheless.

  • wtf has this video got to do with bloody jesus lol?

    some of you people are delusional just listen and enjoy or bugger off lol

  • @MrDrummerpony What do you mean what does the video have to do with jesus? Haha. THE SONG IS ABOUT JESUS! Regardless of what you believe...that's what the song is about.

  • @TheYeasteatingwalrus oh i see.....i thought i was about grace that he thought was an amazing fuck lol

  • @MrDrummerpony Oh, cool.

    

  • @MrDrummerpony Hey, didnt you know that its about a grateful person singin his thanks to Jesus? Never heard the song before? LOL to you.....

  • @avilakaj actually hes simply incorperated amzing grace into a solo.......however i still dont see why the fuck you god bothering assholes feel the need to preach about a rock music vido lol.fuck off and listen to jimmy swaggart or something if you wanna preach the gospel and leave us music lovers alone LOL.......

  • @MrDrummerpony Hahaha - ok...nice comment....Very mature of you! Tell me when you have changed dipers cause it´s people like you that make YouTube smell like shit...

  • @avilakaj you tube is great and doesnt smell.and its diapers,theres an A in it.hahaha.makes my day when some asshole gets offended on here.hahaha.try commenting on the video and not preaching to others..btw i didnt reaslise christians coud be so rude intolerant of others opinions and rude lol.you learn something every day.....

  • @MrDrummerpony Yeah, I can be rude back if you are man! And who said I am a christian? I´m NOT preaching, I only stated what the song is about...diaper-boy! Mohahahahaaaaaaaa

  • if believing in god makes people happy why would you try to bring them down? personally i believe in god but i don't push it on people, you always hear people saying that other people push religion on them but in my experience i see more atheists pushing the whole "no God" thing than any group of evangelists. point is, God makes people happy, if your an atheist keep it to your self as a courtesy to your fellow human beings.

  • @shelton701 Exactly!

  • @shelton701-very well said.

  • @shelton701 Well said, sir.

  • Comment removed

  • @shelton701 maybe you watch the wrong talk shows or work or play poker with loud atheists who insist on voicing their opinions. but please. how many atheists knock on your door, accost you on the street, picket movies. harass people at funerals, do violence? they may be "pushy" in stating their case in conversation, or even in "fighting" for legislation, which is their civil right, but that's where their aggressiveness ends. can you say the same of real wack evangelists?

  • @shelton701 Hey welcome to life, you probably noticed these people trying to harm each other for having other beleifs and discrimination. Oh well, ignore that. You cannot do anything about it anyway.

    ~Sincerely,

    Me.

  • Comment removed

  • @shelton701 Well said ma brother!

  • @shelton701 couldn't have said it better myself man. I do see more atheists pushing their "religion" (or lack there-of) on other people way more than the religious people i know ever do. As you put it, God makes people happy and the bibles teaches you to be a good, moral person. I am not religious by any means (in the sense that I go to church every sunday) but I do believe in God, and if I didn't have parents who brought me up on those religious moral principles, who knows where I'd be today.

  • @shelton701 exactly bro! God makes us happy!

  • @shelton701 You're aware that if atheists should keep to themselves, that means people who do believe in God should also right? That means breaking down all the churches, not wearing crosses 'round your neck, no wearing specific clothing, etc. That's keeping to yourself. Cuz everytime I see a church or someone wearing a cross, that's religion shoved in my face as well. (I'm not saying wether I 'm personally against it or not, I'm just going with what you said here).

  • @slaQ83 Thats just idiotic and extremist, and youre making an ass outta yourself. What he meant was if they aren't saying "Believe in god because you have to!" Then dont say "break down the churches no wearing crosses and dont wear christian clothing" Meaning just leave it alone

  • @TheDragon7077 I may be pushing it a little, but from what I got from his message it's hardly extremist nor idiotic. Let me just say I respect most believers/religious people. They can believe all they want, that does not affect me. However I can still have a strong opinion about it, and I do. Perhaps if you view the church as just a meeting place for like minded ppl, churches are fine. But it's a symbol for something that I'm not a fan of.

  • @slaQ83 You and me both. I believe in god and i think churches are stupid. most are corrupt. i wasnt trying to be rude, but your comment just took it a little too far you know?

  • Just listen to the goddamn music people... You can find this beautiful no matter what. I'm an atheist.. But I still love this!! Who gives a fuck what anyone else believes.. It's their right to believe what they want..

  • @fallensk8er64 the voice of reason lol i agree dude

  • @fallensk8er64 swear to god..... i wish everyone felt that way!!! instead of pushing their religion on everyone else

  • @fallensk8er64 Exactly. I love "Spirit Carries On" and I'm a devout Atheist.

  • @fallensk8er64 IF YOU ARE AN ATHEIST,WHY THE DO YOU MENTION GOD IN YOUR POST????

  • @air2jsc What are you talking about?? If you're referring to "goddamn", then I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. It's a word that has come about in the english language and I just use it. Doesn't mean I have to believe in a god.

  • @fallensk8er64 so if you dont believe in go why use the name to describe the music just sayin not hatein

  • is this feedback made?

  • All this talk of god!!! Do you really believe that there is an all powerful being that created everything and everyone in the universe and has his hand in every single moment of all of our lives??? If you do..... I have one question for you? WHERE THE FUCK DID HE COME FROM??? THIN AIR??? I dont hardly think so. Look inside. Use your mind. The truth will come to you.

  • @joeybrown1962 that's just it. It's all about faith. We don't know exactly where he came from, but we still believe he is. The bible says he was always there, and since everything human has a beginning and an end, thats hard for us to imagine. I think that having faith in a religion makes life easier, and that's why there are so many religions. But if you don't believe, then that's your choice.

  • @mike129995 "For his invisible attibutes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made." God is so amazing and is so gracious to have provided humanity with so much that testifies of His glory. He is uncreated, didn't need to be created. He is eternal. From Rom 1 I believe all have a knowledge of God, but there are so many religions because man would rather make God in his own image.

  • That right& true you play this song ,this is the way you play John,God give you.....remember Give him worship.From thailand.

  • It sounds like "the spirit carries on"

  • It's amazing.. :) Anyway, never mind those negative comments..

    They have nothing to do with it.. ;)

  • is it just me or this sounds so much like "The spirit carries on"?

  • @fa2f

    This is a variation of the intro from "Through her eyes". He's just improvising, and slapping a new song title on it. If he did that, and if it's not a mistake by the uploader, then it would be very lame for some very obvious reasons.

  • i say chaps would you mind awfully trotting outside to argue? were busy listening to john..thank you so much.

  • @MostAncientOne And that can also be noticed by looking at the music you listen to. If you are under 30, that's understandable, a pimpled frustrated little boy needs to listen to some vomit vocals to feel like a man (by the way, do you search for the lyrics on the internet to understand what they are saying?). Also, he needs to hear some fast riffs and some double bass drumming to bang his head on the walls. But if you are over 30, man, you've got a BIG problem.

  • @cubuletzul It is hilarious to me that an opinion differing from yours upsets you so much that you have to start some kind of asinine war of words. It doesn't matter to me in the least if you insult my music; I love it, and plenty of people support it. (And honestly,your hero would probably not even be able to play my music.) Stay in your little shack and beat off to your Dream Theater DVD's...I've got a life, a woman, and a musical career to deal with. I am finished here, little boy. Grow up.

  • @MostAncientOne No, I'll tell you what's hilarious. A man who's supposed to have a "life and, woman and a musical career"... never heard of you, by the way... writes an offending comment and pretends it's an opinion. If that represents an opinion for you, then you aged for nothing, your mind is of a kindergarten boy. Oh, and I can tell you that I'm an aerospace engineer and you cannot prove that I'm not, so chill with that musical career.

  • @MostAncientOne That "war of words" you're talking about it was just proving a point... and you fell for that, you wrote all these comments after the one in which you said you're leaving and you spitted out all your frustrations. For example, did I ask you if you have a life and a woman? No. Now you get it? If not, I'm not surprised. Get a life.

  • Comment removed

  • Shut up fat no lifers and listen to the music!

  • 10 people hit the "dislike" button by accident and commited suicide for that. God bless them!

  • God is good! Music is as eternal as your soul.Where are going when you die?People can live and die thinking there is nothing more BUT one day every knee will bow and every toungue will confess that Jesus is lord (I`m a sinner)

  • @bowtechspeedfreak Amen to that!!!

  • @bowtechspeedfreak Go fuck yourself faggot.

  • @bowtechspeedfreak keep your crucifix out of my Petrucci licks.

  • @dmdollinar08 how is that comment not liked a thousand times that was killer!! HAHA!

  • @bowtechspeedfreak Or maybe, you know, that doesn't happen.

  • No place for religion under this amazing masterpiece, music is just music so the best thing christians can do is shut up and listen. "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture", you know.

  • Comment removed

  • @joncool25 I can't he wasn't, netheir if he was. I didn't meet him, will never do, and so won't you. What makes YOUR religion the right one?

  • Religion is gay cause jesus touched my pooper.

  • @medicineblue YES

  • Why can't people just enjoy something beautiful, rather just bash on someone's faith..... this is gorgeous, if you believe, beautiful, if not........ sit back and enjoy the moment.

    Peace.....Pax Christi

  • wish he would do more SLOW job like this piece :(

  • @jazzrockblues95 lol..slowjob...

  • @SDupe44 Yep. His initial are E.T. backwards. Coincidence? I think not!

  • I hate when people compare petrucci with jesus, I mean he's good but not as good as petucci

  • @100saprissa except that Christ upholds the universe, he knew every lick Petrucci would ever play, and Christ is the reason the song was ever written in the first place. Nice guitar playing, though.

  • @1kozmon thats right

  • @1kozmon except that christ is gay -___-''

  • @jolocoloco What do you mean by "gay"? "Gay" as in homosexual, and for which I would like to see your evidence, or "gay" as in the generally derogatory term, which I'm sure homosexuals don't appreciate just being thrown around as an insult? Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world, healed the lame, and made the blind see (what the Messiah was supposed to do) I don't see how that's "gay".

  • Comment removed

  • @1kozmon First of all, you forgot the most obvious and important side of the word... Gay doesn't stand only for being a derogatory term, or homosexual. I think you got my point... But you're the one attributing him those senses. Someone needs to go to church.

  • @jolocoloco In what way were those senses attributed to Him in my post? Accepting Jesus Christ is what it took for ex-slave trader John Newton to cease in his revolting practices and later pen the words of Amazing Grace. Accepting Jesus Christ is what it took for the apostle Paul (formerly Saul) to stop killing Christians and become the 2nd-most prolific writer of the New Testament and to even be willing to die for the faith. Why such drastic turn-arounds? Because Christ is legit.

  • @1kozmon Christ is not legit -_-

  • @MrGamerBazer since you're not amuzed, could you tell me, in light of the massive manuscript attestation of the New Test., the willful martyrdom of the apostles (mostly Jews) for their testimony of Christ, the Pharisee Saul's suffering for Christ, Christ's fulfillment of the Old Test. prophecies regarding the Messiah's miracles and His substitutional suffering on behalf of the sins of people, why you feel Christ is not legit? God has provided His salvation; to not accept it is to choose hell.

  • @1kozmon to not accept is to choose hell XD

    oh dear

  • Comment removed

  • @1kozmon it never happened thats why i choose to accept it.

  • @MrGamerBazer What never happened, what evidence do you have of "it" never happening, and what did you choose to accept?

  • @1kozmon a burning fucking bush? Tell me what evidence does support it?

  • @MrGamerBazer I bank my faith that the burning bush actually took place on the authority of Christ's testimony of the truth of the Law and the Prophets (the Old Testament). I've already talked about the legitimacy of Christ and you did not defend your perspective. Tell me, aside from evidence that banks on your presupposing anti-supernaturalism, what evidence supports that it didn't happen? And why do you avoid my questions?

  • @1kozmon lol because i think its complete crap. Lol a burning bush. Whatever next? coming back from the dead?...oh wait XD

  • @MrGamerBazer In other words, you depend upon your faith that it couldn't happen. A skeptic who finds talk about God to be so humorous has nothing backing his own belief besides "because i [sic] think" and insults someone else for his faith for which he has provided support. If you consider yourself to be a critical thinker, I encourage you to be open enough to learn about Jesus Christ instead of making a hasty decision to refuse to believe. God bless you and Happy New Year!

  • @1kozmon nope as far as i'm concerned you have shown no evidence.

  • @MrGamerBazer From an earlier post: "the massive manuscript attestation of the New Test., the willful martyrdom of the apostles (mostly Jews) for their testimony of Christ, the Pharisee Saul's suffering for Christ, Christ's fulfillment of the Old Test. prophecies regarding the Messiah's miracles" If you want me to explain any of these things please ask. I will also do addition research if needed and give you the best answer I can.

  • @1kozmon stupid....incredibly stupid arguments!!!! WOW...i mean....live and let live...what an ass!!!! be a little respectful for what others believe...who are you to judge? do you know the "eternal truth of universe"...nobody does, so you just can't stand shit like that! ur just another idiot of this society...and btw if God wasn't important for you....why do you keep attacking religious people??? ALL YOU DO WITH THAT SHIT IS RUIN THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG....grow up dude!

  • @Hiimdavidbutnotjew

    Yeah, fuck that guy.

  • @Hiimdavidbutnotjew I don't know how much of the conversations in my and others' posts you've read, but I wasn't the one calling people names. I honestly don't know why mine are disrespectful. God is important and I was attempting to defend Christianity in the face of religious people who would rather throw insults at people than actually discuss anything. I do not know all truth, of course, but I do believe that God has made Himself known and I choose not to ignore Him.

  • @1kozmon

    I'll believe in God and miracles when you can write a coherent statement. Your God is a pussy.

  • @Petruccibear It's Petrucci's God also... are you gonna change your nickname?

  • @cubuletzul

    Unpossible. Petrucci > God.

  • @Petruccibear Wow! Really? So get down on your knees and pray to him. Founding a church will be also a good idea.

  • @Petruccibear I do not have enough faith to believe that everything came from nothing for no reason, especially considering that you have some intelligence with which you concieved such a lame comment. Was that coherent enough for you? A God who would create the universe and, despite man's rebellion against Him, take a flogging and be crucified for mankind is not a "pussy". What does the coherency, or lack thereof, with which I write have anything to do with God or miracles?

  • @1kozmon

    Please stop trying to sound intelligent. I know you're angry and your butt hurts a lot, but that still doesn't change the fact that your god is a bitch.

  • @Petruccibear I remember, before coming to faith in Jesus, I placed a tremendous amount of weight on the argument from authority that basically said that Christianity cannot be true because only dumb people believe it. In holding to such an argument, I realized that I didn't WANT Christianity to be true. I hope that you will be capable of holding back the urge to insult as I used to, and actually be intellectually honest enough to really consider challenges to your present faith.

  • @1kozmon

    God is a superstition, and you can eat my ass and balls.
