@MichaelsPortraits How can you say this is boring or derivative when you've put Malmsteen into the equation. Don't get my wrong, he's a good guitarist but out of any guitarist i listen to he is the least, it's all just non rhythmic shredding. Petrucci made some cracking solos and is better than either of these guitarists, if you had any sense as a listener or a player you'd respect the work of art and if you don't like it then take your bland, nonsensical, opinionated bullshit somewhere else.
@gattij1 lol, dude there playing styles are just about identical. What ever happened to giving people their props?! Lets face it all these guys shred. That is why they are there and we are here commenting xD! Don't hate cause it's not your preferred style of rock or metal.
I often wonder if his size has affected his technique i mean with musclur fatigue it may decrease practise value, with added forearm size it may slow finer movement, all the weights would also be pressuring the wrist more which is already used a lot with his guitar playering. I guess if its very graduell and well thought out it might not be a problem any thoughts anyone?
@epicmetalhead20 Simple physics. If two forces of the same amount are directed in opposite directions, they cancel each other out. Just like on a scale, if you put 2 lbs on one side and the same amount on the other, it's level. If you put 2000 lbs on one and the other, it's still level. Limbs work the same way, and if for some reason you only work out the flexor muscle, and not the extender, it stops growing to prevent imbalance. And muscle fatigue isn't a problem, since you just have*continued*
@epicmetalhead20 you just have to eat more. Bigger muscles increase metabolism by themselves, whether you use them or not. The human body is an extremely efficient machine, and extremely adaptable. You just need air, food and water and that's it! Usually, wrists can't be "used up", you can only harm them by crushing them. Oh and it's spelled "gradual" and "playing", sorry, I'm a grammar nazi.
@FranLesPaul nah man its cool sometimes i forgot to check what i write but ye from experience wen i lifted up until 3 months back if i was doing anything that directly affected the forarms i needed to rest for quiet a while afterwoulds before doing a serious practise session. But on the all i never had many issues ive stopped because i want more time for music. Was just wondering if his serious size would do anything to his form but ye what you said makes sense. Cheers.
@Langtw yea hehe. when i first heard this song i was all "yup... thats definitely his style" then i heard songs like lost without you and glasgow kiss and was all "whaaaaaaa??"
@thericecrispy2 john myung is a better soloer but his riffs are no where near as complexed or as soulful and yes geddy can switch between synth and bass extremely well butwhen you been doing it 30 years I'd guess you be good at it :L
@CommBreakDown Well ...Zappa was Steve's idol his whole life and, far more of a father figure than a rival... he learnt his trade through FZ's band before he was in white snake or anything else.. Satriani taught him, and he took influence from all music, like a musician. You can't discount anyone, as they were/are all forming figures in progressive music. Dream theatre take influences from everywhere too. All of these people are good because they loved music and didn't bitch at anything : )
@hippychild123 i get what your saying but why the fuck are you telling me things i already know. and DT is less than any Zappa band. simply b/c they have more freedom to do w/e vs all the members usually were directed by Zappa.
@lddevo88Excuse me sir (or madam), but I do believe there's some bands waiting at the door that would like to have a word with you. I believe they said they were: Cynic, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Pain of Salvation, Between the Buried and Me, King Crimson, Magma, Pink Floyd, Atheist, Death, Edge of Sanity, and Unexpect.
And they're wondering as to why they were not listed amongst your most talented prog bands that ever existed?
@lddevo88 Someone commented in responce to this comment of mine, but its nowhere online (from the looks of it), and since I liked it, and wanted to responed, I'm reposting what it said with a responce:
@thegp2008 yes ur absolutely right but come on there is nothing better than having a masterpiece for a guitar that sounds amazing aswell, so looks do play some part in it, sound wise fuck no but in whether a guitar is nice or not the looks play a part ,it may not be very big but oh well
You say Britney Spears, i say Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
You say Jonas Brothers, i say SCREW OFF
92 % of kids have turned to rap, pop, and hip hop. If your one of the 8 % who like to headbang and ROCK OUT, copy and paste to 4 videos. Unless your one thats scared to stand up for real music
I appreciate speed, but I also think players like Robin Trower, Gary Moore and Stevie Ray Vaughn are awesome in their blues playing. Playing extremely fast isn't what makes a guitarist the best. It's all preference. With that said, my favorite guitarist is Joe Satriani.
Did I say playing fast dictated a songs, or players, quality of music? No. But Shawn Lane is an amazing guitarist, and personaly, I don't much care for Michael Schenker.
@bknthday it means a lot when comes to skills but to music, john petrucci is from the few that can play fast and make music at the same time... and he plays a lot of genres not only the metal that many thinks because of dream theater
@xXxRUSTINPEACExXx paul gilbert is a better player than john. but paul doesn't have many great melodies in his music it's just about speed (which is great anyway) but john has melodies and speed which is a good combination.
paul gilbert's better though and doesn't sound like pop at all for most of his songs lol.
@KYamada416 dude rusty cooley, shawn lane, and a few other guys BLOW MAB away dude. Look up "shawn lane close up solo" and tell me that doesnt destroy MAB.
That marshall is probably someone eles. its not on petruccis side of the stage, and dont forget that he always has his rig facing the back of the stage.
at the beginning off the song there's a moment with the volume hugely increased,so it fuks my ears when i listen thru headphones..:( - its worth it tho hehe ;D cuz what follows next is a wonder!
lol fail, the main riff is just a chugging metal rhythm, they sort of serve the same purpose in the same way whenever they are used, your comment is pointless.

LOL! Why can't others say slash is overrated? Oh right, because you said. I love slash but he's popular because of his guitar riffs, not solo's. Petrucci and vai are much better guitarists. Not even a contest.
But I think Slah is overrated, but not about his speed, he is a very good guitarist, but some people is always naming him like one of the best Rock guitarists ever, when only Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton or Stevie Ray Vaughan are a million times better than him.
For me, Slash is very repetitive, he only uses simply Blues scales and "pirubirubirubi" every time, finally all sounds the same.... , but is only an opinion. ;)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I agree and disagree, in that slash maybe overrated but he still is a great guitarist and is in the same league as the guitaist you named not because of how technically amazing he is but the simple fact that melody is #1 to me, and damn does he have some sweet licks.
All I really can say is the solo of In The Name of God. You can bash me all you want for picking a "speed solo" but that solo is seriously mindblowing. Such speed and yet such a perfection. It's like the notes aren't even picked, they're just flowing out in a constant stream.
Petrucci is a man who likes to combine fast with emotion and he's one of the few I've heard that actually manage to do that well.
Stream of Consciousness is one of my all-time favorite instrumentals by DT :) Great song, really fun to play (though I can't handle the solos and the faster parts yet :( )
I know most of the notes are hammer-ons and pull-offs, but the way he makes it flow is just outstanding. I've heard other people play it, but no one have done it as good as Petrucci.

But I think Slah is overrated, but not about his speed, he is a very good guitarist, but some people is always naming him like one of the best Rock guitarists ever, when only Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton or Stevie Ray Vaughan are a million times better than him.
For me, Slash is very repetitive, he only uses simply Blues scales and "pirubirubirubi" every time, finally all sounds the same.... , but is only an opinion. ;)

I agree and disagree, in that slash maybe overrated but he still is a great guitarist and is in the same league as the guitaist you named not because of how technically amazing he is but the simple fact that melody is #1 to me, and damn does he have some sweet licks.

Great song, but why do you using the same picture's over and over again?

All I really can say is the solo of In The Name of God. You can bash me all you want for picking a "speed solo" but that solo is seriously mindblowing. Such speed and yet such a perfection. It's like the notes aren't even picked, they're just flowing out in a constant stream.
Petrucci is a man who likes to combine fast with emotion and he's one of the few I've heard that actually manage to do that well.

I agree with you. Jordan really makes that solo.
It's got so much flow.
I also love the solos in Stream of Consciousness.
So fast, but they're still very emotional.

Stream of Consciousness is one of my all-time favorite instrumentals by DT :) Great song, really fun to play (though I can't handle the solos and the faster parts yet :( )

Oooooh!
I play that song too!
Also one of my favourites.
I still haven't properly learned the solos so I improvise over them.

thats because theyre not picked
there is a tonne of slurring in the solo

I know most of the notes are hammer-ons and pull-offs, but the way he makes it flow is just outstanding. I've heard other people play it, but no one have done it as good as Petrucci.

Of those four were listing, for me it goes:
Steve Vai
John Petrucci
Joe Satriani
Buckethead
Slash(he would be first but where not talking about him)

i think there are many more guitar players that are better than Slash, he is just really famous overrated guitar player.
He does not belong with the other four you listed him with.
