[onixtheone]

[Psychoelessar]

Awesome

[thejemboy]

The Heart is where the music is...

[Greenwithevil]

lol "nice, john, nice!"

[polaset]

YOU ARE BIG JOHN

[UssDreamTheater]

Thank you, John!

[ToffernFuruh]

If anyone says ever again that Petrucci has lack og feel in his playing, they should listen to this and have their nuts sliced of!

There is not a single guitarplayer who plays with more emotion than what John does on this video.. Awesome... I have no Words!!

I am playing this song tomorrow with a friend of mine. Can't wait!!! :)

[spitfirestrikes]

@ToffernFuruh: Dude, solo on The Best Of Times. You can't have more feel put into a solo than that!

[DylanEVH]

@ToffernFuruh people who say that he has no feeling are usually closed minded. They never payed attention to his work from his solo album or even the melodic solos from Dream Theater. "Petrucci's a genious guitar player"-Dave Mustaine

[kbuss10]

its cool but wait till u get a glimpse of his biceps ;)

[ElGuasero1]

The guy who took this vid is one lucky SOB. : )

[MajorMatt8]

TONE!!!

[scialoman]

petrucci....italian surname.i'm italian and i play this song with my guitar

petrucci's sound is perfect

[pursiter]

@scialoman

All the best guitar player have an italian surname... Vai, Petrucci, Satriani, Gambale... ;) ;)...

(Ci sara' un perche' =D)

[weirdbrother15]

@pursiter

Infatti they have Italy in their DNA! We are the Country of Paganini, Verdi, Rossini...

No Country can compete then if I add Leonardo, Michelangelo, Dante...and the list can go on.

[onixtheone]

[CryingLostSoul]

Killer tone.

[SjPedro]

i should even say killer toneS.

Love the flanger he starts using in the final minutes of the song...the almost clean sound in the middle and the signature Petrucci distortion in the beginning

If this guy is not a God....he is pretty close to it

[eliotguitar]

NICE JOHN NICE! lol...

I think he knows...

[Moshpitssser]

[t3dDy011]

Petrucci is a real man.

so much emotion put into this even wipes a tear around the end.

[izguitar89]

Time... it may tear his flesh and skin appart, but the magic in his fingers will never fade.. Petrucci will always be the name behind the music, he gave so much to guitar discipline...

[toffern123]

i agree!! john has never had a better live sound than he has now.. so insanely nice tone!!<3

[AlexRaykin]

You know whats funny, John isn't hearing the crowd, he has 30+ db attenuating ear monitors sitting in his ears.

[AlexRaykin]

I was there, just as close, except I was center stage between him and Tony Levin, I was in hands reach of his pedals lol.. there were no guard rails. I was the first there! 10am (for 8 pm show)
