John Petrucci - Gemini

[rockermetalhead1200]

Did john petrucci ever did solo albums?

[asnoldo]

@rockermetalhead1200 yes he did, look for Suspended Animation. amazing solo album!

[NoamnM]

cool song, br quality.

[Rrrrobbo]

theres some very similar bits on rock discipline

[Rrrrobbo]

@Rrrrobbo ... or the same :)

[haubsen]

@Rrrrobbo

eh? its the exact same song u hear in rock discipline. not "similar bits" wtf

[Bartekdex]

I really, really miss 90ths Petrucci.

[rockpwnsu]

That intro.......

[TheWhocares233]

This song is amazing i wish it was recorded..



[fartvon99]

as what ive heard, the part from 1:46 +

it sounds like from the outro of Fate's speaks by Explorers Club (band)

John petrucci is a guest guitarist of explorers club, try to listen to that music

you will hear that 1:46 part there

[WhiteDeath]

John in working on his next solo album, maybe he decides to do a version of that song! Let's hope so :D

[Tavernman06]

i have been a DT fan for 15 years, seen and heard almost everything they have ever played and recorded and I always wonder what song this was, as little parts of it show up all over the place......

[shlokda]

It's a shame he never actually jumped in the studio and recorded this song. I don't see why he didnt, he obviously spent enough time writing it out, its not an improv piece. Oh well, it's too late now. He would probably say it's too "dated" or something for the stuff he plays now.

[Squeaky24241]

omfg this is like ear sex

[priest1989]

boring, this is just speed.

[MrKiller92]

He had lots of great intrumental songs back then, dont know if they ever got recorded but it would be great if he includes some of them in his next solo album

[WhiteDeath]

He played a lot of parts of this song in his instructional dvd.

We need a studio version of this song!

[jellytroid]

great exercize song

[pimpmyride711]

it's amazing up to 5:56

after that, it just sucks ass

[octasystematichaos]

he played some part of this on his "once in a live time" solo (if i am not mistaken)....

[thego6o1]

i have the same question :X i wan't a studio version of that song so badly :@

[shlokda]

I don't fucking understand why he never made a studio cut of this. Over half the song is on the rock discipline CD during the transitions between segments. It's the clearest you can hear it.

[feenux09]

this song should be in his next solo record (next to Suspended Animation) that would be great.. maybe a newer or longer version

[serpentinessarecute]

Ah, the 90s...I miss you

[FarazR2]

Hopefully this will be on his new solo album that he's writing.

[DeekyDicawdo]

Too bad there is actually a good high quality version of him playing this song somewhere, they used it in the Rock Discipline DVD between the lessons. I just wish I could get the whole video somehow.

[gear44evil]

a lot of people die with this song ! xP

[ndzordz]

This is recorded when I was 2.5 years old

[Malsch1990]

cool, in the beginning he messes up a few times^^

awesome that even a guitar god messes up^^ kinda makes me feel better while playing guitar

[nikostsakas]

@Malsch1990 ow... be mercyful, he was only 3 years old... and his brain was busy shooting meteorites to people he disliked.

[RandomnessM]

lol at 0:35 to 0:50 he looks like Hagrid from HP haha...except he's not a giant fatass... and he's actually cool

[TobiLeggend]

Hmm i've never seen him use a laney cab i thought he was signed to mesa

[deathscythekim729]

i want his next solo album to be more proggresive type, near to DT on their early days..i'm missin those tunes...like this, gemini...it's an art!!!

[Ectharias]

John has said he is definitely going to put out another solo album and I would be really surprised if this wasn't on it

[MrTanookiMario]

I hope so; i love this song.

[DreamTheaterPT]

he will and probably it will be out in this year

[wiitar]

I look allot at other great guitarists. But I can't help that Petrucci is my favorite player. Its so inspiring. I keep falling back on him and Dream Theaters music. Its just a combination of everything. Even if Guthrie Govan is more technical. John has an awesome sense of Soul, as well as skill and he can play just about every style, but in his own way. He is very recocnizable, and that's what I like. Long Live Dream Theater.

[deathscythekim729]

yeah..everytime i prepare myself to a gig, or just practicing, i give myself an hour or half to listen to JP's stuff, especially Kindred Spirits frm LTE, love the main passage, and that ending part, it's just so nice, my ears are lovin it!..JP is such an inspiration...i respect the guy. JP 4ever

[gorkanshveil]

instacream

[yosub123]

Why does he never recorded this one on album or something? sombody know if there is original recording of this?

[stevem1264]

Man, I had downloaded the audio of this video off of Napster back in the day. It's the same audio, and now I can see the video! I love finding these rare gems of Petrucci.

[mrbullseye]

That slow melody from 1:30 to 3:00 is quite simply brilliant and one of the most beautiful melodies I know. It has been on my mind from the day I heard it first some five or six years ago.

Considering mr. Petruccis melodies it ranks up there with the ending from take the time.

[goatgoesbahhhhhh]

there are sections of Gemini that i don't like, ie. when it gets really heavy and he starts fooling around with really heavy stuff, but overall i love this piece, alot of energy, alot of soul.

[AhmadNadar1993]

John Petrucci is by far the best guitarist in this unvierse !! I mean his music (and Dream Theater's) is so damn good and inspiring.

JP FTW !!

[urbanmech]

This theme is used in a petrucci's dvd (ROCK DICSIPLINE)... but this is awesome, thanks for upload this video, is a relic!!!

[K1DUDE911]

I thought 0:00 - 5:56 was awesome

[StupidQuestionZ]

@K1DUDE911 well said

[azzura1]

0:26 - 1:04 <3

[urbanmech]

is freaking awesome!!!

ta ca ta ca - ta ca ta ca - ta ca ta cá - ta ca ta cá... blah blah XD... sorry is so awesome this solo :P

[vicrattlehead8395]

3:28 is possibly the greatest few seconds ever

[ditroiamusic]

I LOVE when he breaks out his jazz influence too!!

[oxygen63]

Perfect, awesome, brilliant !

[teokiatuan2]

thats a sweet axe, anyone got pics of it?

[satchisthebest]

It might be his BC Rich, though it could be an Ibanez

[WARP10CK]

Nah its an ibanez you can tell by the neck

[1000travis]

This song needs to be put on an album, or ill die soon.

[urbanmech]

amen

[voltaspeeder17]

Damn, this is a really good song! I would probably need 10 years to learn it :)

[FatalError2319]

Just eat some small mammals, it's good for the hands.

[IcaroPaivaOfficial]

Petition:

John Petrucci have to release

Gemini on his next Solo Album!!!

Copy Paste everywhere guys!!!

[chickenyogurt]

How did this not get a recorded album version

This song is insane

[xPotenx]

We should spam petrucci to release this song on his next solo album.

[rocKENrollify]

were can i find a studio version?

[inthefle]

i dont think there is a studio version i just downloaded the song but its that one

[haubsen]

thx for this awesome vid!

[yuiyuiyuiyui98]

this song was on his instructional dvd call rock discipline

[Uvtond]

at 1.54 there's a part that is in the "guitar solo" in the "once in a live time's" cd

[Hangar18Rules]

WTF i'm gonna kill him why didn't this go on some disc or something i just love the guy and his work why didnt he release it? damn anyway gotta love petrucci #1 guitarist of all time!!!!

[robertsmithisapussy]

But this song isn't in any album right?

[panamanian911]

right

[spideyford0609]

yeah was never recorded its just a song he has in his mind... no one will ever have... damn you John... damn you... :P

[yosub123]

Yeahhhh id find this video for years

[soymusicman]

ISGREAT!!!!

[ironwolg]

if anyone can send this song to me message me. i'll give you my email address, i'd really appreciate it. gotta put it on a CD and learn it cause it's awesome

[dashbog85]

damn i want this song

[Taihofai]

man this was the time when JP was at his best guitar skills.. still young and energetic as ever! though he has grown old and inevitably, skills fly out the window like time does. he is still my no.1 guitarist

[Roodah]

His older stuff was definatley a lot more melodic, but he's more technicaly proficient now by a long shot

[dashbog85]

where can i find this song in good quality?

i love it

[christoffera]

I cant find it either.. only with crappy quality

[DTPetrucci123490th]

he was a way smoother guitarist back in these days, hes probly faster now but in order to be as smooth as he was during this time his purpose in life has to be nothing but playing guitar again....hes more of a family man now.

[StuGibson]

There are snippets of this song in the Rock Discipline video. Why didn't he ever record the whole thing?!

[XMitsuhideX]

i wish he did. All of the little tunes on that video would make an awesome solo record. :P

[ironwolg]

maybe he'll put it on his second solo album, if he ever makes one

[JamesIsMyNamo]

Was this ever recorded in the studio?

[asnoldo]

i think iit wasnt ever recorded on studio, i think it was a song that he used to plays!

[PhantomSocke]

@asnoldo The intro was recorded in the studio as an background music for one of his dvd's, but never the whole song.

[ironwolg]

@JamesIsMyNamo it was kinda, he used it in his rock discipline with really good quality recording but the riffs and licks were all in different places

[JamesIsMyNamo]

@ironwolg Damn. He needs to record this stat. Even if he does it with Dream Theater live or something.

[bfstronger15]

This reminds me of my days as lead guitarist of Whitesnake

[asnoldo]

yeah sure xD haha

[MetalHeadMat666]

I remember you, I was in a little band called Megadeth, never made it to big though.

[bfstronger15]

yea those were the days, weren't they?

[MetalHeadMat666]

Hell ya

[NitroAndDeathMetal]

LOL

[issilldur]

I wish it was released as the Petrucci's studio record. I so much love the 0:00-~1:10 part...

Asnoldo: Great that this video is finally on youtube! Thanks!

[MetalHeadMat666]

It would've been good even on s Dream Theater cd.

[asnoldo]

yeap, it fits very well xD petrucci is one of the best guitars players aorund there, i just cant stop listen music of him and from DT!

[MetalHeadMat666]

What do you think of Liquid Tension Experiment?

[NitroAndDeathMetal]

[lucktoyo]

Fantastic. I wish to get this in a nice quality sound. Anybody has an MP3 of this?

[asnoldo]

I dont have the mp3 track of the song.. im sure u can find a software to download the song

[WARP10CK]

Sorry man i been looking everywhere for this and i have not found it in studio quality yet.

I think its just a solo he does live and I have all the dream theater cd`s that has come out even the fanclub ones.

[asnoldo]

yeah, i thin that 2, i've looking for it and just found oit this video

[ndzordz]

You can download it from limewire

[lucktoyo]

right, I have this limewire version, but it is in a bad quality. I EQ'd it as much as possible, but of course it is still far from high end

[ndzordz]

On limewire is the version of this video transformed into a mp3 format.. It's impossible to find mp3 from studio version :)

[asnoldo]

yeah!

[TagesDani]

This is one of the best records of John Petrucci i have ever seen. Thank you for release.

[asnoldo]
