@grantmaster13 Petrucci is a bitch. and hes not even that good. OVERATED! Romeo rapes Petrucci in his sleep. not to mention the Ego that comes with all the band members in Dream Theater is sickening. fucking homo's all the way. stay off this page if your going to Compare Romeo to a shithole like Petrucci. i use to like dream theater till there ego's took over. fuck them
@godofwar5 I'm not going keep a fight going about who can play guitar better. All I know is that I'd rather listen to Petrucci and Dream Theater over any other band any time. I don't even care if DT's members have egos. They are outstanding musicians and DT is actually the reason I like music. And before you start calling anyone a shithole, let's see you play better than Petrucci.
@grantmaster13 why do people always say that? "well lets see you do better" it has nothing to do with my playing better then Petrucci you moron. this is about Opinion stating. and im stating that Petrucci and Dream Theater's ego far outweight anything they've ever done musically. i would love them if they didnt have ego's they way they act. they way they go about themselves is so pathetic and gay. and if u wanna go there like all the other homos' lets see you play better then Romeo. moron.
@godofwar5 Having met them multiple times, I (among other fans who have met them) can tell you that they are not arrogant, nor do they have giant egos. The only one who can be a little arrogant at times was Portnoy, but thats a different story.
You shouldn't go by what critics and the internet has to say. I used to think the same thing up until I met them.
@godofwar5 And why should an attitude change your perception of their music? You can be a total asshole an still write good music. I mean cmon, Metallica still have fans and their music kicks ass ;P
@dreamtheater142 because i dont like ego, music is about feeling. and when people act cocky have ego and act like complete morons it ruins the music they write and to me doesnt feel Genuine. the feeling i get now when i listen to dream theater is "hey, we are the best, bow down to us" and i hate it.
@godofwar5 You know, theres an Interview with John Petrucci stating how he thinks alexi laiho (children of bodom) is better than he is, even when hes drunk on stage. That's cocky? I don't know what you think cocky is if thats it
@godofwar5 I didn't even look at this video for months. How far down the comments list did you dig so that you kind find someone who likes other (personally better I think) music just so you could harass them? Get a life and quit sucking Romeo's balls. I don't even care if Dream Theater's musicians are the best, or if they have egos. I still deem them the best, regardless of what you say. Fag.
sorry don't mean to bring up old shit, but tbh i think that was written out of negative emotion (at least partially) and id just like to say that a musicians ego should have nothing to do with whether you enjoy their music or not.. i dont like all good musicians but i appreciate all good music
@f1shredder bro do u know anything about music? are u just some nigger kid sitting around making stuff up? i met bumblefoot personally and i know he would NEVER say that.
@EXHellfire I'm sorry, dude, but that's just not true. A lot of Petrucci's material has a plethora of feeling. I really wish people would stop comparing Romeo to Petrucci because they're both top notch guitarist.
@Tom7Strings Well, the last album´s song Bridges in the Sky, made me see. And also In the presence of enemies part 1 too. And yeah I know, but I still prefer the feeling I have when I hear Romeo playing. And how can you not compare them when they are both lead guitarists in amazing progressive metal bands, and considered two of the best ever?
@EXHellfire I actually prefer Romeo's playing most of the time as well. Don't get me wrong, though, I still fucking love Petrucci! I just don't feel the need to compare them because I deem them pretty much even. LOL! I know there are things one is better at than the other, though; for example, Petrucci is better at alternate picking, where as Romeo is better at tapping. It's just getting a little irritating people compare them in almost every DT or Symphony x video. I'm not accusing you, though.
@Tom7Strings Yeah I know, lately I´ve been listening to more Dream Theater, and am loving it. Gotta say they should be even, or at the same skill level, but still, I prefer Romeo for some reason :/ And you´re right, they might not be exactly as good as the other in the exact same way the other is as good, but rather they both have unique feats that make em stand out as much as the other with his other unique feats if you get what I mean that seems confusing lmfao. I know you´re not accusing me
@EXHellfire Because, if you were accusing me it would not make any sense as I was just replying to another guy that started the comparison in the first place, I think
clearly you haven't actually seen petrucci play. You can tell he plays with a lot of feeling. Romeo is good, but all I hear is scales. He sounds lick a machine
@GordoDustin Dude, you´re doing what I did before, but the other way around, are you looking for an argument? Because I don´t give a fuck if you think that Romeo sounds like a machine playing. I know for sure he doesn´t.
@AFcunningham I can´t say I prefer any right now. A month after what I said, I think they both tie with Shadow Gallery, the three bands are just too fucking good, and I think none is better, unless it is in just one aspect. Overall, I give the three a freaking ten xD
One of the stronger tracks from the Odyssey, most definitely. This goes great with the album, some good metal after the semi-ballad of Accolade II. Love this song, album, band, genre
Goddamn, Michael Romeo's solo in this one just blows me away. It's like neoclassical fusion - a combination of Al Di Meola, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Michael Angelo Batio on LSD. Just freaking insane! How he plays like that, especially with those large fingers, I'll never know!
So much right you are right there!!!! Thats the biggest problem i have with SX... get a better producer or mixer!!! The songs are better than they sound on the albums!
u not heard of them assclown? check em out there a real metal band, take out all that gay synth n its a bad pantera rip off, they even rip off dimebags guitar tone, tho i can see how u thort that coz this guy cant sing at all or shud i say phill (thats panteras singer as u clearly dont know who they are) dunt sing like a fag
Clearly if you knew how to read, you would know that I know pantera."YOU ACTUALLY THINK THIS SOUNDS LIKE PANTERA?" dumbass. If you knew music, you'd know they are completely different. well obviously the genre, and the time signatures between most pantera songs and most sX songs are very different. I love Phil, and I love russell. But you only prove my point that you are dumb even more because Russel is one of the most underrated singers right now.
And no offense to Romeo, I love his playing, but personally I think Dimebag's guitar tone is a lot more nice sounding to me. But they are different genres you dipshit. Dimebag's tone wouldn't sound right playing these songs. Now please, learn to read and spell before you comment back, so you don't make yourself look even more dumb than you are.
America is all of ours stop bitching. This is why America is garbage these days because instead of getting along people just want to bitch. Listen to the fucking music and grow up.
