john petrucci solo genial

[21Kaiser21]

That is like, Paradigm Shift, many years before Paradigm Shift!

\m/ ò_ó \m/

[aleboogie]

This is great, this is the first time I see John using a Ibanez JPM P4, I was just trying to sell mine... what do you think? I should keep it?

[nobnobnobnob]

i can't recognize the face, but i know the posture

[merqury5]

I didn't know this video existed and its really cool to see, isn't this the same version as on the 5 years in a livetime album? or is it just another night? Great anyway, loved that Ibanez period, I bet Ibanez are kicking themselfs now for treating JP like a turd.

[paulovolksss]

this song is now known as paradigm shift

[chenille75]

The bumblebee were all dead when he reach the 400 bpm...

[alvarotonyboy]

at 4:20 whats is he playing?



[MegaGabriel81]

los que no les gusta este video es por que son regguemierderos.

[SouYohan]

Sem palavras, ele é extraordinário!

[shishir16089]

i don't why the fuck i always read the songs name as'' genital''

[royeeeee]

hideous shinny shirt

[roboteko]

hey maybe i was wrong...without his beard i think he was look like scott stap...but great solo john!!!

[thegr8HarV]

i dont care for this solo that much. it doesn't have the sophistication his solo's usually do. it has more of a classic rock setting with repetitive licks and the gradual tempo increase on the same licks. not his best thats for sure

[einarabelc5]

Liquid Tension Experiment->Paradigm Shift.

[lars2012]

From 1:11 to 2:49 it is Paradigm Shift.

[fahadblack]

@ritaldo.. i think u were about to write rip DT LOL

[DreamTallica6666]

whats the song @3:23 ?

[jack0eagle]

@DreamTallica6666 Gemini

[ritaldolagos]

rip mike portnoy );

[m0tionlessskull]

@ritaldolagos wtf are you saying, he isn't dead. He left DT. Still, such a shame

[VicaCOBHC]

@ritaldolagos O.o

[BlackWolfgang70]

a young petrucci ... he was great when he also was young !

[27915678]

@BlackWolfgang70 he was better when he was younger...

[dmcgraye]

wow petrucci when he was a young gun, not the overlord of guitar.

[sliceru]

that;s so...van halen :) 5/5

[sliceru]

that;s so...van halen :)

[2baLLa4U]

hey some people like different things thats why there are two companies

[matzethachillah]

yap, that solo is also on the "once in a lifetime", but a bit different...not the same ;)

[flavioroloff]

Not JP...

[r0kas]

how old is he in this video?

[eaxconsole]

Isn't it also on the Once in a livetime cd?

[deathscythekim729]

he looks lot younger than the images and words days!

[mulleygraves]

@deathscythekim729 nope, thats a p4

[kigawman]

ERNIE BALL SUCKS, IBANEZ RULEZ!!!

[LazerRazor7]

@kigawman No.

[kigawman]

@LazerRazor7 YES!

[zacdarider]

@kigawman why the fuck are you saying that ?? I own 2 Ibanez but I admire the ernie ball music man too dude they're like 2 000$ more expansive than Ibanez's Prestige...

[kigawman]

@zacdarider I'm entitled to my own personal opinion regardless of whether some bloke like you will disagree with what I say or not! (I guess all people who type their comments here are free to express themselves either its good or bad.) In case of you sir, I DON'T CARE if ernie's balls 'HAHA!!' music man are $2 000 more expensive than an Ibanez Prestige!

[zacdarider]

@kigawman I didnt want to put the intention on saying that they are more expansive. I just wanted to say that its some extreme quality and even the best of Ibanez ( ibanez prestiges) can't deal with music man guitars. That's why Petrucci chose music man rather than Ibanez . (theres a reason why its more expansive) even fender or gibson, we pay for the name (the old versions of fender and gibson were better), but not music man. the Petrucci signature is one of the best guitars for what hes doing

[kigawman]

@zacdarider so?

[zacdarider]

@kigawman so ernie's balls aren't sucked :P

[kigawman]

@zacdarider no, no, no. you don't understand what i'm saying IDIOT and stop wasting my time!

ernie's balls doesn't suck to you because YOU suck them fag!

EBMM is useless and worthless to me! IBANEZ RULEZ - that's the bottom line, End of story!

[Botdra]

@kigawman How about you both shut the hell up? Both guitar companies are great if you ask me. I will say Ibanez quality has gone downhill since the early 90's, but they still make amazing guitars, sometimes it's just harder to find them, or take more setting up and aren't "True Ibanez quality" off the shelf. He chooses the guitar he wants because in his opinion his Ernie Ball is better. I disagree, but does that mean I'm gonna bitch at someone about it? No. He chooses stuff because HE prefers it

[kigawman]

@Botdra I rest my case here. If you have nothing else to do than but-in to this useless argument, you might as well "SHUT THE HELL UP!!"

[Botdra]

@kigawman You wanna go back and read the comments? You were the retard that started this whole thing... I'm just trying to make you think twice next time you post "ERNIE BALL SUCKS, IBANEZ RULES" thinking everyone will agree with you.

[kigawman]

@Botdra Who's the real RETARD, me or the two IDIOTS (you and other douchebag) who just made a comment on what I said?

Like I said from one of my early statements, I DON'T CARE about people disagreeing about me. "ERNIE BALL SUCKS, IBANEZ RULES", That's It.

If you give answer to what I say after this, it will only prove you both are 'THE' RETARDS than me.

[Botdra]

@kigawman Just because I respond, doesn't make me a retard because you say so. We're not being retards for wanting to put a jackass in his place...

[lepoglav]

4:20 is best part

[MichaelKnight71]

@lepoglav at first i thought you were just saying that to be funny (i need to get my mind outta the gutter :) )

[fastguitar6]

Ufff.. super =D

[anupsycho2met]

Ibanez RG Series is the closest

[Eraj1979]

I love the twang of his Ibanez tone. What Ibanez model these days would come close to this?

[AlexRaymond19]

@Eraj1979 try to find a petrucci model on ebay, they come up every so often

[rulipedo]

pero que grande es petrucci¡¡¡Y encima con partes de Liquid Tension jajajajaj

[killguns95]

i have that solo in my iphone

[ConnorShawMusic]

love the intro feedback..!!

[wilz373]

the drums sound abit like someone hitting the kitchen bench with a ruler

[HoMEr0]

What year was this filmed?

[maupar81]

1998....this solo is in "once in a live time "

Grandissimo john !!!

[mightymetman]

actually the solo where the drums join in is From the side project with Tony Levin of King Crimson on bass called Liquid Tension Experiment and the song is called Paradigm Shift. Look it up! Great stuff, in case you didn't already know.

[dvr554]

this isnt the solo from once in a livetime... its just the solo he did that tour... i can tell from listening to this and the cd that there are differences

[OndskapensHersker]

ho looks so damn young in this vid, almost didn't rcognize him:P

[TCELL24]

they're playing paradigm shift.

[Kapoonnn]

cool note at 3:29 =) <3 petruccci!

[saulpetrucci24]

ahuevo paradigm shift!!!! jajaja es la verga este wey lo amo!!!

[moonchild00]

4:29 song???

[maupar81]

It' s a Neapolitan "tarantella" . A typical folk music of italian tradition...

FORZA NAPOLI E W I DREAM THEATER

[cassalinson]

Brav o'fra!

[silvionne1]

@maupar81 ahahhaahaha bella!!

[Le5ttat]

@maupar81

FORZA STEAUA!!!! :P

[Edoardokeyman]

scusami ma parlavi con me? perchè mi è arrivata l'e-mail del tuo commento a me...

[CipPeLoO]

Nono :)

[8element]

haha so strange without facial hair

[elegyrulz]

nice Ibanez!

[DevoGuitar08]

whats the song at 3:25??

[dragoIBZ]

lol...petrucci with no facial hair...looks weird

[stainofframe]

awsome, but with his beard he can play 120 bpm faster

[popace]

@stainofframe

Hahahahaha :D True... true... :D

[ttunna]

@stainofframe - you are correct but obviously don't realise that this clip was shot when he was only 7 years old... although he could have grown a beard then, he didn't choose to grow it until he was a 9yo. Easy enough mistake to make though. ; )

[stainofframe]

@ttunna ahahahahah :D John Petrucci was born as a beard with a body and hyperactive fingers!

[DMTiririca]

kkkkkk petrucci is just a kid xD

[shawnl91]

1:12 paradigm shift

[KazeReload]

Avete notato la differenza abissale tra la batteria di Portnoy adesso e allora? :P aveva un suono completamente diverso.. o è la telecamera che fa schifo?

[IvanRudess]

ma di che anno è questo live? mi sembra il tour di Falling into I. perchè si intravede Sherinian, e c'è la copertina del disco sulle pelli delle casse di Portnoy..poi il brano che suona Petrucci è dei Liquid T. e mi sembra che Experiment sia uscito nel '98 o '99

[KazeReload]

E' nel secondo disco di Once In A LIVEtime, che è uscito nel '98. La data sarà quella più o meno, ci hai azzeccato :D

[IvanRudess]

...oddio..e pensare che ho anche "Once in a LT"...ma non mi ricordavo di questo solo!! sicuramente ha influito il fatto che secondo me è un live piuttosto bruttino, infatti l'avrò ascoltato 2 volte in tutto. Sarà Sherinian che non mi è mai piaciuto o sarà Labrie poco in forma, ma proprio non lo digerisco. Invece il live @ Budokan lo trovo fantastico!! ciaooooo

[mattefactor]

john sei il migliore!!!!!!!!!!

[Golbus92]

oddio è giovanissimo, quasi non si riconosce

[Edoardokeyman]

CipPeLoO cm si vede che nn conosci i dream theaer o che non conosci i liquid tension

[CipPeLoO]

Sicuramente li conosco più di te, e non puoi giudicarmi solo per aver detto che non sono loro.

Mi sono semplicemente sbagliato.

[MrJagones]

si sente na merda

[ilPadrino6310]

1:54

[yamiloco]

era un nene xD

[MrWolverine90]

without his beard at first I was like this isn't John Petrucci! and then I watched his fingers and my face melted. no one can melt a face the same as John Petrucci. so I knew it was him.

[Giscare]

si certo che sono loro...si vede che non conosci bene i Dream Theater...ascoltati l'album "Once In A Live Time" disco 2,traccia 7.... John Petrucci Guitar Solo

[CipPeLoO]

WTF!!...qualcosa non mi convince...

non è Petrucci...e quello non è Portnoy...

FUCK

[paridealfa]

il tempo apsa per tutti .... sono loro...

[ilManno5]

questa è una canzone dei Liquid Tension Experiment

[dg8383]

c'est le meilleur avec satriani !

[cheoibz]

whats the name of the song at 3:25??????

anyone please

[Andreasg310vai]

I think it's from the John Petrucci song Gemeni but I'm not sure

[bielus86]

Its solo from Over The Rainbow. Cheers.

[jorganh1960]

Paradigm Shift in LTE (1998) is excellent; the transition to Glasgow Kiss followed by The Flight of the Bumble Bee (if I'm not mistaken) finale makes this an outstanding guitar solo. Petrucci is very talented.

[vipshan]

He Doesn't Have His Beard!! No Wonder He Looks Different!! I Didn't Know Paradigm Shift Was That Old!!

[filipdinev1]

Yeah, he doesn't look like petrucci probably of the low quality. But pretty sure that it's him... I know his feeling ;) This is old video... he is not playing his signature musicman...

[xidarragax]

J'aime cette guitare!!..lol...

[ViTO4DTR]

That's fuckin' right...

Believe it's true...

[4DeeM4]

two words...guitar master....he can play everything...every genre...show me something he can't....DT rulles!

[dan2stories]

gettem a talk box...and he can rap on guitar XD!

[adamson404]

What is this song? I know it but can't think of its name

[dionysos1234]

Liquid Tension Experiment - Paradigm shift.

[Sivels]

@adamson404 paradigm shift by liquid tension experiment.

[jimdark]

@Sivels wrong, this video show's that this song was written before LTE!

[Sivels]

@jimdark Maybe you're right, but it has now been developed into a LTE song. Lots of guitarists have theme/trademark songs or solos that you only find live and not on an album.

[ADDDEATHMETAL]

non e petrucci

[ronal38]

es petrucci???

[kingartur87]

qst solo ha 11 anni...era gia abbastanza maturo nel suo stile...oggi invece è davvero inimitabile ormani è allo stesso livello di uno steve vai :):)

[bellozionegro]

te non riesci a sentire l'emozione ke mette nella prima parte dell'assolo

[Leonardoleoneo]

nn lo definirei geniale, solo veloce.

[peterskurk]

B-e-a-utiuful...

[peppers93]

at 4:19 i'ts the tarantella napoletana ahahaha big petrucci!!!

[vampire28]

Anyone know how old he is in this video, he looks young...I'm kinda annoyed at Petrucci, I KNOW I'll never be as good as him...he's basically perfect everytime.

[Accavarium]

98'?! he's just shaved. :P

[ironwolg]

he doesn't look like himself though lol he looks like the original white power ranger XD

[kungfuman82]

lol. Tommy Petrucci.

[falsitta1]

he made this song in '97 so around then i guess

[Rockbignole]

Amazing John, also with the tarantella!!

[Botdra]

John can play Flight of the Bumblebee?

...

...Bastard.

[nightmarecinema33]

Does it really surprise you?

[Botdra]

No, I just hate him now and want to burn my guitar. D:

[Rolandagast]

Of course he can..can u?

[Botdra]

No...that's why I think he's a bastard. xD

[Tom79290]

that's shit

[Rolandagast]

Do u play better than him? then shut up

[surtur914]

woah ! ...nothing more to say...

[Kahnweiler]

How many could do this during their college-years? Not that many.

[kdcobain88]

he was very young..my little johnny

[ciao089]

paradigm shift.. *__*

[mechajabo]

wow almost looks like Gus G from firewind without a beard hah

[carrizo1991]

he sucks without beard

[aigaleada]

He is Petrucci.End of Story...............

[Ronixis]

First time I've seen him play the P4 JPM model. Neat!

[dimedizzle]

Falling Into Infinity Petrucci....

[richyn2]

portnoy looks like a caveman !

[racrx32]

college days

[racrx32]

Does anyone know what planet he is from? ha ha, awsome video! Thanks for posting it!

[GHOSTVAL]

Not petrucci, wtf How could Portnoy be so old and John look like 20 y.o.? But he plays exactly like Petrucci. So I'm confused. Oo

[metaloide]

Of course he is Petrucci dude, with liquid tension experiment...

[AV85]

It's a DT concert, not LTE. Paradigm shift was part of his guitar solo post on the FII tour.

[Y00p]

That's just how he looks without a real beard. :)

His hand and posture is Petrucci all the way.

[Budokan1987]

In this video, Petrucci is 20 years old ????? Who know ??

[AV85]

around 29.

[AV85]

Why do people make statements without even verifying the facts? Just makes you look like an ignorant.

[buug123]

because a clean shaven petrucci couldnt possibly be older than twenty

[MarkoKaralis]

maybe 30, or 31

[terrorslurdao]

Of course is John Petrucci! Look at Mike Portnoy in the back, the face of Petrucci and another things.

[jameabeto]

petrucci just gets better as he gets older

[TyShredder]

It's not John Petrucci, it's just some guy who looks and plays exactly like him, has the same guitar as him, and is playing with Mike Portnoy.

Retards.

[MarkoKaralis]

I hope u are joking

[TyShredder]

I hope I am too, I do not wish to be retarded.

[27915678]

wtf? john looks so young but mike looks old o_O

[laza023zr]

does anyone have a tab of this solo?

[BloodReverence]

For those who think this isn't John, look at his fingers. They look the exact same as John's in other videos. Look at his biceps. They're huge just like almost any other video of Petrucci. Look at his eyes, nose and eyebrows, all look like Petrucci. This is Petrucci, this is talent.

[Pungale]

he is not petrcci

[CescoGuitar]

Without the beard Petrucci reminds Dave Grohl

hsiaushiashuaish

\m/

[theYonatan]

bottom line

cant beat him

it sucks for other guitarists

cause u cant beat him

he too good

bastard.

[lololoraine]

petrucci es el guitarrista muy versatil es uno de los mejores

[JuanchoC2112]

amazing!

[iamthemush]

amazing at 1:10 ,paradigm shift is one of the best liquid tension songs

[lancejujitsu]

wow.. i have been lookign for this vid for years.. many thanks!
