the definition of feeling is if someone feels something when they hear it. it's totally subjective person to person. i certainly feel things when i hear all these guys play. Petrucci, Vai, Satch, Govan, Buckethead, Gilbert. Personally I feel more than i do hearing BB King play. BB King's a great player, but I just don't get the same feel as i do from these guys.
shut up about feeling! music is all about feeling whether its played with 32nd notes at 200 bpm or slowed down. All melodies create a feeling, Malmsteem creates feeling with his playing, Vai creates feeling. Its impossible to play without feeling. If you say someone plays without feeling its probably because you can't relate to it but all great artists and technicians should be appreciated whether you can relate to it or not.
@YtseJam92... haha very nice bro i hate when people say like " john is good but he is too fast and doesn't have any feeling " they can eat crap cuz john is the metal guitar player with more feeling out there
@YtseJam92... HAHAH Very nice bro people all the time talk shit about john.. yeah he is good but with no feeling..he is one of the few metal guitar players that have an incredible .. probably the only one with that amount
This is a part of Surrounded I think. I saw a show in 07 where they played that song but had a solo like this in the middle. Also on Chaos in Motion. Brilliance. Best player ever.
He isnt on steroids, hes pretty much built the exact same as me and i can assure you i dont take roids, and he aint no body builder he looks like he has a fair emount of fat on him, he aint ripped as such clearly hes been hitting the weights alot though.
He apparently is a body builder...look at him lol. Lifting weights and doing cardio is great for you. Look at John, He looks to be in his 20's or so, and he's like 40 something right?
oh yeah i was there. To put this show in to perspective to any die hard DT or JP fans like myself. In the words of Mike Portnoy of score " This was one of the most memerable nights of our career"
you know all those fuckin blues players who get on you, saying basically any one who can play fast has no feel .well if they can all fuck of .if they cant hear it its there problem and it exposes there limitations
Hear Hear. The 2nd religious experience of my life watching DT play this song in Wales, 3000 chins on the floor. Next twat that says to me to my face petrucci has no feel I'll knock the wanker out!
Do you think that Jesus has been practicing guitar and working out for 2000 years lol Judas must be shittin himself lol . . . On a serious note this is utopian guitar playing ~ id prefer it if he'd incoprate more of this playing style in Dream Theater :~)
That's the point; its the main chords for the beginning of Surrounded, the same chords for Mother, and the same chords for the chunk of 'Sugar Mice' they play in 'Surrounded 07'. Amazing stuff
They are, at Vancouver when I met mike portnoy he said they were filming and that they were going to release a systematic chaos DVD by the way this solo has so much feeling and makes me want to cry
Simply incredible. John has a reputation for being rediculously fast and articulate but noone ever gives him credit for "feeling". This solos says it all. Makes you just stare in awe.. Thanks for the inspiration John....
No feeling??! haha, John Petrucci plays with all the heart a guitarist can have. These crystal clear notes and then the next moment the sound roaring like a hundred voices.... (oh man, how pathetic can one comment be :-) - no seriously, JP's playing is pure emotion! And that's why he'll always be my number one if I'll have to decide on one player.. If you want to his playing can "take you away"....
I know what you mean about the shaky-ness!! btw I was directly infront of him, but I'm having trouble putting my stuff on here :(... I'll try and sort it out soon...
i saw them at rotterdam (Netherlands) man ... dont miss the show ^^ !!! it was FANTASTIC at all. As a lover of Petrucci i was mostly focused on him but some keyboards solos were also amazing when he takes his black trash style guitar-keyboard !! (then petrucci came back off of stage when i had the opportunity to see him VERY VERY close YES)
Its was only two hours it wasnt long enough . I might be too old at the next one. what a night fan fucking tastic . my wife went with me - she didnt like them . but a least she went with me -
Second time i've seen them and i HAVE to see them before they leave Europe. Incredible evening. I love the riff at the end of that solo, between 1:00 and 1:15!
i love you.
