John Petrucci Falls Off Stage

[Medalion]

Even his feedback has a better tone than most people

[anqipiqi]

He was so thin back then.

[MrBachinblack]

at least we all know that it is really live..

[yes90125]

Thats were they got the idea from for the album Falling into Infinity. But apparently Petrucci later stated that he started playing Pull me Under!

[daniloh91]

Drugs and God.

[Wahwahfighter]

LOL I like the way he does the whole thing: He falls, the guitar starts to a feedback resonance. AND THEN, he uses the tremolo arm... I does not matter he falled, he just pwned phisics. In another words: The ground tried to own him... FAILED.

[traptin58]

[ownregent]

he accidentally played to fast,playing so many notes, he forced a space time paradox to occour which caused the world to spin a little faster then he realized. Thus the stage moved from under him.

[Medalion]

John was clearing just doing his usual warm-up... snap yer arm in two places, but he took it too far this time

[ginjeeimano]

John was like..hey there kevin XD

[boilingpoint3]

His guitarspeed was so high it shifted the earth causing John to fall off stage.

[efraintoheaven]

jajajajajajaja 

[chumpilin]

press "3" to kill john :D

[erotomaniac]

wut



[MatteOttantanove]

Moment of glory for Myung U_U

[sapianddog]

No, shut up. He fell off stage, he failed.

[RazrHack]

@sapianddog Keep trollollollin'.

[WichPetrucci]

oh ! johnnnnnnnnnnn.

[btevoxboy6835]

He didnt fall he floated off the stage. Thats what gods do

[conoreso]

these 2 top comments had me crying in laughter for about half and hour hahahaha

[purplejocko4]

sack o ptatotes

[melinerunen]

Petrucci fail!

[guitarmeister109]

@melinerunen Dude. He can't fail, that was a win.

[Rockerboy3872]

@melinerunen Petrucci never fails, fool!

[apina313]

He falled into infinity...

[HDHMD]

@apina313 Hahahahahahaha

[mamonsin]

not as humiliating as this one watch?v=9kNIFF1u0Ms

[CoyleCustoms]

@mamonsin okay, that other vid was pretty damn funny.

[dragoncrashhero12]

Just before he falls, you can hear someone yelling LOOK OUT!

[1ostinspac3]

he attempted to jump into the crowd but some asshole didnt catch him becaue he went just to see portnoy.  just sayin

[McDiddy99]

Playing 3 billion notes per second allowed him to Fall Into Infinity.

[lordmetal2]

He was too focused to play 3 milion notes per second and forgot to maintain gravity.

[BenjaminBreegXx]

hahahaahah its so funny to read the thinks you write about petrucci hahaha

i

[Tiberiusize]

the universe revolves around petrucci

[bayrus]

Petrucci didn't fall to the ground, the ground came unto him.

[heplaystheguitar]

completely on purpose

[YourDailyLaughz]

Thumbs up if John Petrucci can kick Chuck Norris' ass.

[gudjonsveins]

@YourDailyLaughz BATTLE OF THE GODS!

[drybones744]

He fell into infinity...

[Sivels]

@drybones744 lol, that's so bad that it's hilarious.

[kevenharbour]

He didn't fall... the floor went up for him....

[machinehead912]

he said in an interview he was imagining being on a bigger stage and was convinced that there was more room to walk

[mousey1102]

Clearly a sign that small clubs like that weren't big enough to contain them.

[ryujisan]

Jesus died and returned back to life after 3 days. Here, John Petrucci died and returned back after a second sill kicking ass like a second before.

[viktor4036]

hahahaa

[3bertface01]

i would REALLY love to see the entirety of this bootleg video

[vega3410]

Petrucci went to give CPR to a dying child! lol

[anthrmthrfckr]

he doesn't play billion but he plays Petruccillion notes per second....

[RareHarmony]

This was the first time I listed a video in my favorites simply because of the comments. Congratulations guys. :)

[ginjeeimano]

this video contains the best comments on youtube :D

[Aztlnight]

@ginjeeimano best comment ever

[shambometallicafan]

@ginjeeimano yep!!!

[MrLogada]

everyone knows that he had overheard earlier that day that the floor was planning on going back in time to assassinate presudent lincoln before he freed the slaves...mr. petrucci attacked the floor with all his might, and thanks to him, the african american community is still free

[YllHavolli11]

ahhahaaahahahahahahahahahahah

[ljguitar91]

According to an official Sky News report John Petrucci created a rupture in the space/time continuum which he then passed through to save humanity 374 years into the future in a parallel universe. Afterwards Petrucci said that saving humanity was more important than strumming that chord in Only A Matter Of Time.

[Pequenno54]

he is a god :)

[legatoshred]

another petrucci on acid

[pankoz999]

epic comments LOOOL

[mcski022]

ahahahaahha

[turbozonda]

was he drunk

[novocaine5022]

Haha....

[MrGreeneyesguitar]

He is not perfect, I thought he was a god...

[stelderhaiderman]

@MrGreeneyesguitar He is a god.

[bassbreaker]

LOL

[Scalismas656]

Hes like "Hey whatcha playin there, Kev..."

[curlybro7]

LOl!

[MrSir1990]

I'm in the library right now and it's way too hard not to bust out laughing. :D

[OctoMania1928]

notice how roght after he falls his vibrato is still PERFECT!!! seriously!

[elmocheesecake1174]

his hands were moving so fast that it created enough heat for the floor to expand where he was standing and he fell

[Floooooo95]

that wasn't petrucci, it was chuck norris! He tried to imitate petrucci..and failed!

[Belias983]

@Floooooo95 and you'll take a big kick in the ass from him XD

[rockman555555]

@Floooooo95 i worship this comment.. 

[Floooooo95]

@rockman555555

thanks :D

[NonEternal]

NO MORE FUCKIN ADAM02 JOKES FOR FUCKS SAKE

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

@NonEternal I agree, who the hell still laughs at them?

[xXzulu24Xx]

See, thats what happens when try to shred with your toes. Poor John, he'll never learn. Maybe is all the blood wouldn't rush to his fingers...

[LargelyGay]

He was laughing at your youtube comments.

[TheYahweh94]

He heard john myung speak and fainted of surprise.

[TheYahweh94]

@TheYahweh94 ...Or to be more accurate, he was doing an easy solo, say, 345678904567890 notes per second. This was the last time John Petrucci used normal strings to shred. Not resisting the heat and the friction, all of Petrucci's strings were broken at the same time. John Myung, seeing what had happened. Shouted: "John!! Watch out!!!" Unfortunately, Petrucci heard john Myung. This caused a cardiac arrest and a mental breakdown on Petrucci, and since then Petrucci uses pure lonsdaleite strings.

[GLP68]

he diddnt fall. he time warped and then the earth rotated and when he can back, he came back off stage from where the earth rotated

[DrewLandcaster]

@GLP68

Did he make a jump to the left, and then a step to the right?

I didn't see him put his hands on his hips... nor bring his knees in tight.

But it's the pelvic thrust that must've made him go insane...

Let's do the time warp again!

[oliverAP13]

haha

[crashedss]

what doesnt kill makes you faster!!!!!!!

[dvsdez]

The whole thing was staged. Play a few billion notes per second, kill everyone, take over the world. But at the last minute he felt compassion, and spared us to enjoy a bunch more of Dream Theater albums. In the song repentance he apologizes for trying to kill everyone.

[kamilowaso]

lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololol

[pauljacksonmusic]

Going going going... GONE!!

[Gtrplyr1]

lol his harmonic overtones(feedback) when he fell was in key anyways

[draganov]

I think he saw Michael Angelo in the audience and went to congrat him for the good job the guy did painting his Guitars... and painting Jesus on the ceiling, of course :)

[ffgew22]

@ffgew22 I take that back... new information says that what actually happened was his 4billion notes per second caused a temporal rift which shifted him for a split second to a time before that place was built and there was no stage, just air.....the consequences of epic guitar playing..

[blaze09]

lol he sucks so bad he cant even stand

[AppleFender]

@blaze09 Try to beat him sucker

[The420valo]

Obviously, both guitar tech Yngwie, The underLord and God himself made this happnd, always suspected Yngwie to have made some sort of deal with the two lords.

[theunitedspeed]

after the camera was turned off, the guy who went to help him had his face melted off

cos HE TOUCHED GOD

[armymanhaha]

@theunitedspeed your comment seiously fails.

[Roughknight01]

Nice.... Chuck Norris jokes Petrucci style

[theheriticanthem666]

See even jesus makes mistakes

[rothwellullathorne]

Well it's obvious that his playing broke satans chains and melted the frozen lake at the bottom of hell. When the lord of the underworld came forth, he realised that Hell's greatest musician was Rick Astley and needed something better. He went to seize Petrucci who, in turn, melted Satan's face with a 3 second, 1billion note solo.

You all saw it.

[killacuban123]

he didn't fall off the stage....the stage fell off him.

[RAPh1945]

this sound,

wwaaauuuuUUUUUUUUHHHH xD

[matt2eadgbe]

It's obvious that he didn't time warp. The entire audience would have died instantly!

He just slipped on a cheese cake his guitar tech Yngwie left on the floor. Needless to say. But he is now dead

[johnkvf7]

He didn't fall.. He just played so fast he created a new dimension in a matter of seconds and stepped into it... XP

[VNtinos]

Hahahahahah !! Yeah you are right !!

[RokerBorut]

@johnkvf7 - totally epic comment man, hahaha xD

[FluidDelusions]

it's only funny when LaBrie falls xD

[adoy18]

all of ur comments are hilarious haha

[SkidVixen]

My god. LMAO I love the comments on this video.

Petrucci, we love you and your super powers over the forces of gravity <3!!!!!

This children is what we call Petrucci's Laws of Win.

[formaya3]

You see guys, what occurred here is something called Temporal displacement, also known as Breaking the time Barrier, by reaching a shred speed of 88 mph and creating a nuclear reaction that would yield 1.21Jig-o-watts of power with coils that were welded to the stainless steel chassis of his custom alnico magnets and helped him create a hole in the space-time continuum allowing him to travel from an upright position to flat on his face in less than 2 seconds. Happens to everyone, right?

[Phoenixshredds]

@formaya3 ONE POINT TWENTY ONE JIGGAWATTS?!!!!

[MotorheadBishop]

he clearly entered into ann accidental time warp on stage, playing 4 billion notes per second caused him to go back in time. from this moment on he decided it would be best too keep it low; a mere 4000 per second, just enough to kill the first few rows

[zanoo6man]

Falling To Infinity  XD

[Metalunited101]

NO NO NO GUYS. Come on! It's obvious that he was playing 20 billion notes per second causing the space continuum to react to his shredding, and so the space continuum pulled him under and the portal was like "Sorry GOD"!!! and Petrucci says: Get my GODLY ass back on the show. And so he used his guitar to propel himself back into the show!!! Dream Theater rules!!!!!

[ladyvampire9999]

@Metalunited101 i loved your comment! made me laugh a lot (: DT ROCKS!!!!!!!

[Epicnessss]

He didn't fall! He was just testing gravity..... looks like it still works.....

[Mollerice]

i feel sick im laughing so much

[dvsdez]

Haha its funny how this video is called "Petrucci falls off stage". Please rename " Planet earth blasted off axis from God shredding too fast and destroying the laws of physics"

[d1ogo2imoes]

john didn't fall... it was the rest of the world turn that turned upside down

[CentiZen]

Well, it's obviously why this happened. His guitar playing opened a temporal rift in time which pushed him off the stage.

[kazetehskylord]

Sounds likely...

[Augenatic]

He was playing too fast, around 7 billion notes per second, and he realized that he was going to enter hyperspace - so he actually went through earth and back again, so he wouldn't like end up in outer space.

[babachewbaba]

And he STILL didn't miss a note!

[dvsdez]

His playing forced the entire planet to rotate 90 degrees. He was actually standing in the same spot, but he was met by the floor. Which got in the way

[tecna64]

@dvsdez

hahahaha you just made my day man! hahaha

[dvsdez]

@dvsdez The feedback sound you hear is actually the sound of the earth groaning at this sudden violent jolt of being rotated so quickly and mercilessly. Poor earth, didn't stand a chance, and neither did the crowd. Never seen so many innocent casualties in my life :'(

[nemisis246]

@dvsdez 

[nemisis246]

@dvsdez LOOOOOOOOL

[StevieVaibanez]

@dvsdez

This has to be one of the best comments I've ever read.

[drummaster1386]

its funny, they barely make mistakes playing, if they even do, but they seem to make more mistakes while trying to move around on stage.

[iamtheplauge]

See even Jesus makes mistakes.

[LuisCArenas]

Oh no, John fell into one of his created Black Holes again... Thank god he could get out.

[TheWeenieInABottle]

you mean thank himself haha

[Crazzyschill]

Hes badassness made him fall he coudnt self-susatin the power of progressive shredding!

[666guitarfreak]

see people, even the best make mistakes every once in awhile:P

[66gt40lm]

That wasnt a mistake, he did it on purpose...

of course :D

[lovescarguitar]

he bounced off the whammy bar and came back up. didnt u see?!?!?! i did

[1waza1]

ahahahah XD

[maxpower31]

he was playing 1.2 billon notes per second and the floor melted

[Dundusdaniel94]

@maxpower31

oh man.!

[allan299229]

lol!!!! jajaj

[SandBox86]

@maxpower31 hahahaha

[josegp30125]

Danny already FC'd that fall.

[onett128]

even chuck norris couldn't own so badly as john did here with his lightning speed

[IronCobra2007]

normal, could be a part of the show.

[suchass]

its so badass that even though he fell you can still hear him trying to keep playing XD now thats a musician!

[SanusRequiem]

Now we know where Herman Li learned all his tricks :)

[OndskapensHersker]

the funny thing is that stuff like this happenes all the time.

EVERY touring musician falls a couple of times in their career, (exept drummers. that would be something to see. haha)

[HippyamongHicks]

aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnddddddddddd­dddddddddddddd fail....

[kurvoljubac]

if you look really hard, you can see Enterprise and a Borg cube in the moment of the so-called fall. Petrucci didn't fell, the stage collapsed during his transwarp shred

[ilhadosmacacos]

well... it proves the dont fake the sound.

or that petrucci can change the gravity

[ttfd]

Don't laugh !

Musicians life is so intense that he actually didn't have time to rest at all before the show !

He just made a decision to take a nap.

It's a real challenge to play at speed of light, so he can go walk and sleep anywhere he wants.

[gibsonguy329]

He actually just played the whole album in that 4 second time span so it was just sounded like a blur.

[tetra19]

hahaha he drops faster than a sack of potatoes!

[matthewmanafie]

HAHAHAHH XD H eplayed so fast that hes 30secs in the future XDD HAHAHAHA NICE COMMENT MEN !! XDDD

[jagermicah]

He didn't fall off stage. He just played so fast he went 30 second's into the future.

[sergitogibson]

i think he was drunk

[yngvaibucketrucci]

he didnt fall off the stage, he tore a hole in the time space continuim and momentarily disappeared

[AndrewLeet92]

Yeah. He should change the title of the video to be honest. I mean like, the John Petrucci doesn't fall.

[KoHaVOK]

Lol, I saw the title of this video and was going to come on and type something like this.

That's hilarious, and you can still hear him playing in the wormhole. XD

[kuatli666]

even eith the fall still sound like music....hahahahah petrucci is a god
