I just realized... 2:38 is what you should answer people who ask you why we like so many notes: not so much for the shredding itself (well... :-) but especially for the contrast those guys are able to create right afterwards with melody. It's like holding your breath before something amazing happens, and you can breathe again...
@ke70hibino I know what he does, but actually don't know what its called? But he flicks the floyd rose very quickly, to make the string vibrate as the floyd rose gets back in position. Not sure if that helped? xD
I have never heard a better live solo, a better solo! or an overall greater emotional shredding masterpiece. John Petrucci is a virtuoso and I will forever play guitar to someday come close to the master. Thank you JP, for all your influence.
2:26 Petrucci had to face away from the crowd to stop from instantly killing them all. Mike Portnoy only survived the onslaught of destruction by activating his drumming powers at 2:34.
At first time I laughed because it seemed like he was doing a blowjob to the microphone, but then, i noticed that it wasn´t to the microphone, it was to me, simply incredible.
Only 26,877 people have viewed this video, yet your average lady gaga video has 50,000 + views. Something is wrong wtih the world that this God of a guitarist is a relative unknown, while a nobody like Lady Gaga is worshiped. But maybe its for the good, i feel special to be one of the few people in the world who discovered this guitarist. The nitwits can have there Gaga and we can keep JP.
This is great work. I do like the modal changes used in the progression, good use of timing, and what sets this solo apart from alot of guitarists, is the fact that there was alot of well placed statements through-out the solo, instead of shredding non-stop,
There was a great use of well placed "rests, and phrasing" and the balance between the building, and the climax of the solo where the tempo increased and slowed down simoultaneously with the rest of the band made for a superb release of the flurry of notes used towards the end. Good work JP! We appreciate you're angle of guitar playing. :)
also: goddamn, i remember the first time i watched this too, i just sat there, amazed, my mouth open and shivering... and only upon watching it for again i could remember any of it.
@pantalaemon Well bud i dont know if you have been able to download it or not. But i think you can download this with realplayer OR just download audacity hook up a mic and record it on there. And if nothng works send me a private message and ill record it through audacity for ya.
Apparently, only Mike Portnoy can sustain killzone mode. However, he is not unaffected by Petrucci's 6 billion notes per second. He himself unleashes drum frenzy.
One of the most emotional Petrucci I have seen thus far. Pure perfection; flawless.
John is an amazing guitar player. He can shred the shit out of something but i think his true talent lies in finding the perfect melody for his solo's When he gets into feeling something its guaranteed to give you the chills.
Watched this so many times ive lost count. Maybe close to 40 or 50.. .. . . . . Could watch another 500 times before I die, and enjoy it just as much as the first. The shred at about 3:18 can tear me up if I listen closely enough and focus time after time. Its the most emotional shredding I think any guitarist will ever be able to pull off (Disclaimer: In My Opinion ((even tho i said "I think" i dont wana spark up any arguments :P)) )
its a talkbox. he singin the guitar notes as he plays em it gives it that extra effect thing. this is the first time ive seen him do it with this song though
Why should we care about people who say John can't play emotionally? Isn't there enough of us people whom he can move so deeply with his mixture of craziness and cries of pain on his guitar? I'm glad some people insult him. They are called superficial, mainstream, pre-chewed-shit-eating jealous people, and they only justify we're not like them.
Our job is not to teach them. Our only job is to "carry on his way" and be respectful and open-minded about everything.
you know JP was just thinking to himself the whole time, "this one goes out to all you shit heads who say i can't play with emotion and passion. fuck you"
That's what I always tell ppl about JP - he is a very soulful player - some of the ballad solos for DT are hugely emotive. The new album also has some great playing - Best of Times is amazing - he makes arpeggios sound emotional!! :D
no dude...this is from the six degrees tour in 2002...romavarium has been recorded in Rome in Italy in 2005...if u pay attention mike's drumkit is not the albino monster
JP has more critics than proponents. Most of their criticisms (at least that I've come across) are utterly incoherent (rather like yours), so no, we aren't sheep. We just appreciate John Petrucci for the phenomenal musician that he is - He is a master of his instrument, and a superb songwriter; master of chord chemistry and melody. There's not another guitar player on earth whose playing moves me like JP's does.
Morons like Joe Satriani, Andy Timmons, Steve Lukather, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan, and Eric Johnson say this guy is cool. So I will listen to them because they are more successful than you will ever be.
John...dude...I will put my guitar away after watching this.. I seriously have a tear in my eye now. What baffles me is how it's possible to masturbate the guitar as hard as he does, and still keep it so f#¤%&ing tasty.. The sound, the notes, the vibrato, the harmonics and off course the timing.. it's just insane.
ye i know what u mean... this stuff either makes u start/keep playin guitar or make you put it away in "shame"... Well, i couldnt do the latter, so i guess i'm gonna keep on xD
haaraas...you not kiddin.. I've been a JP fan for years. He amazes me everytime I see him. I don't play guitar, but he makes me not want to pick one up. About 2:43 to the end he makes the guitar cry, and me as well. Rock on, John..Rock on!
I just realized... 2:38 is what you should answer people who ask you why we like so many notes: not so much for the shredding itself (well... :-) but especially for the contrast those guys are able to create right afterwards with melody. It's like holding your breath before something amazing happens, and you can breathe again...
