DREAM THEATER - In The Name Of God - John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess Solo

[passgodtpaadegselv]

I'm sure JP could pull off some chords during that solo as well.

[stevel178]

unreal!

[Laras94]

1:02 latin feel!!

[MrEvilBacon]

i bet john's wife likes those fingers

[babisSSJ4]

He plays the whole solo diamond clear and he miss the harmonic in the end!!! Hahahaha that's why i love him!!!!

[1INTEROCEANICO]

0:46 All the public are like stones.... xD!

[StickLightMusic]

pettruci didn't miss that harmonic in the end, the harmonic missed him

[mikepshena]

@StickLightMusic lmao nice

[GuillermoSmyser]

I love that I could hear the bass for once!

[2529Sim]

Left hand tendonitis song!

[SuperTensaZangetsu]

Crazy shit! No one headbanging no one dancing...just watching: D Damn!

[MrAoi94]

@SuperTensaZangetsu Dream Theater are a progressive band. If you're there, you're there to listen.

[hilfiger02]

AND REMEMBER PETRUCCI. DON'T SQUEEZE TO HARD WITH THOSE MUSCLE'S. OR THE NECK WILL BREAK!!!

[hilfiger02]

The worst part is, that Petrucci look like he's fucking boring him self. o.O

[mikepshena]

@hilfiger02 I think it just looks like he's focusing.

[devinhopg]

Perfeito Genial, The Best Great!!!

[The0nlyCypher]

I feel like Petrucci could punch a hole through a steel wall while playing a super crazy solo. haha

[T3hN00b1n4t0r]

Petrucci Wins, Flawless Victory!

[JapaneseMonsters14]

Mangini is a butt kissing midget with no personal style, he's ok, but no originality like Portnoy, I really hope we can reunite with DT in the near future

[davideea]

they're crazy!

[Boszsy]

10 Dislikes... Nice try Justin!

[vernadoon]

i fucken hate it when Rudess plays the exact same notes of Petrucci's it fucken kills the essence of the notes

They are both great but Rudess seriously get your own notes!!!! Please like if you agree so they might see it

[lollipophugo]

@vernadoon why would anyone like this comment? part of the thing that drew me to dream theater is their flawless unison sections. They do plenty of harmonised parts and divergent parts. Unison sections are something which separates them as a group.

[vernadoon]

@lollipophugo its awesome if they do it from time to time to show skill and technical skill but if they do it every song and for no reason but to show off then its not cool !!! sometimes you need to listen to the player show his craftsmanship with his tool and have the time as a listener to appreciate it thats why they call it a (SOLO) not a (polygamy) of notes as the case here and in many other songs they lately play

[lollipophugo]

@vernadoon sure it might be self indulgent but since loads of fans love it it's not just about that, and considering how much of their songs are made up of solos and separate guitar/keyboard self indulgent bits I think that in terms of a ratio, unison sections would only make up a small percent.. each to his own though.

[mrlobotomysound]

@vernadoon i fucking love when they do that

[andyboyboyandy]

Just a normal day in the life of..

[seapec0604]

I've just lost my virginity!!!!!!!!!!damnnnn what a fucking solo R.I.P the REV

[mrlobotomysound]

Petrucci was god in 1989. Petrucci is god in 2012. Petrucci will always be a guitar god. That's the difference with temporary pop stars.

[mrlobotomysound]

hey look, they commeted a mistake in the name of the song!

[TheNemesis1804]

0:14 - 0:16 god smash!!!

[apatheist89]

Is there a part of the fret board that Petrucci doesn't shred?

[avielp]

@apatheist89

Maybe...the side that's glued to the guitar neck? oh no? oh ok...

[Searchin4tone]

Holy Sh!@#

[dudaspriest11]

@MrSoturin he's basically trolling us: "oh this solo is difficult...... nah im just kidding! look i dont even have to look at my hands :D"

[Hack3r91]

Plays the awesome solo, then reminds us his humanity by failing 2:31 XD

[TheResock]

@Hack3r91 not a fail.. it's like that

[Hack3r91]

@TheResock he's supposed to take the natural harmonic...if you listen carefully, he does not XD not a big mistake anyway.

[reekpeekseek]

my ears are bleeding...

[RRMiguelCastro]

incredible, the sound is very good, Petrucci is undoubtedly one of the best in the world, and when he plays with dream theater is very good, sound very nice, lets not know what to say, are great

[YouTubricant]

What is this footage from?! It's not on any DVD, as far as I know, but it's so professional and everything!

[fragrenade1]

@YouTubricant It's in the description, it's from the DVD "Chaos in Motion"

[KhidirD2K]

@fragrenade1 chaos in motion DVD.

[WhynotMiha]

I never knew this is keyboard and guitar at the same time, it's so synchronised!

[gjunki]

Is it wierd that i went to the bathroom to take a shit and watch this but ended up jerking off?

[Malagax]

This is what heaven must sound like

[steckk95]

awesome!!!

[apatheist89]

They should change it "In the name of Petrucci"

[VaiHead666]

@apatheist89 Same thing.

[apatheist89]

In the name of Arpeggios.

[reddfactory]

Portnoy looks like the caveman from the geico commercials here.

[Ivan4131994]

@reddfactory No, the caveman from geico commerials looks like Portnoy

[Jaxemus]

Seems much slower than on the album

[DerMax1990]

should be renamed: in the name of Petrucci

[DarkminiStoned]

These guys are completly insane O.O i dont like the way they mixed all the instrument but they are still some fucking gods at what they are playing O.O

[KingOfTrolls69]

@MichaelPortraits Jealous troll is jealous

[kwolf68]

I am sure MichaelsPortraits is not available to comment on this video anymore, because he is out making music people want to hear. Or maybe he's a wanker asshole?

[MichaelsPortraits]

Wow , a bunch harmonic minor scales and a 30 second phrygian mode detour ..............could this be any more boring , is this actually music to some people , its sounds like they are just taking dictation out of a remedial theory book...YAWN !

[givemeajackson]

@MichaelsPortraits shut up troll. and listen to lines in the sand solo, the best of times solo and the count of tuscany intro before you say anything against petrucci...

[sonyskymaster]

buff Jesus, the wizard, the man in black, and the caveman from the geico commercials,

needles to say... they sound awesome together.

[KingOfTrolls69]

@cshodgson /watch?v=W_Fn9kzwp6I&feature=r­elated you're wrong lol

[jhe759]

maybe his fingers got tired LOL ;D

[ChineseTOP]

no offense to ur god guys but any advanced guitarist can play that solo at 1:02 i mean he isnt picking every note, it would be much harder if he would have to, and you know this solo isnt really hard.

[BloodHarvest21]

@ChineseTOP ...

[tehatemachine]

@ChineseTOP Your just mad because you couldn't play this on easy in guitar hero.

[ChineseTOP]

@tehatemachine i dont play guitar hero since my ps2 broke lol, and i dont know this song so... no :)

[mshahtan]

@ChineseTOP Its not just about the guitar, its about the overall coordination of each and every member. Pretty sure you're a shit musician.

[ChineseTOP]

@mshahtan maybe, im just saying cus you guys say the solo is like the greatest thing ever, its a cool solo the last part where he picks every note is really hard, i dont consider myself a musician since i started playing guitar 1 year and a few months ago so well im still practicing, i can play some marty friedman, nuno bettencourt, zakk wylde, slash solos without missing notes. for 1 year im pretty good :)

[asad17111993]

@ChineseTOP Actually thats a technique where he doesnt pick all the notes. Go search "LEGATO" on youtube. I think you are not familiar with it otherwise you would not have posted such a shitty comment.

[ChineseTOP]

@asad17111993 i know what it is lol, you guys keep trying to insult me (make me feel bad) just cus i said something about this guy in the video i mean seriously im not gonna cry about it i said what i said and thats it you dont have to feel bad just cus a guy that u wont know in your life says something, it wont change your life

[shishir16089]

is that a drum kit or a weapon....

[cshodgson]

i bet he cant play smoke on the water.

[jimifriedman18]

LOL I scoured the internet looking for the moment petrucci would miss the harmonic at the end of the solo and i finally found it. Lol i knew it would sound funny.

[Stratacaster87]

sounds slower than on the album..

[tehatemachine]

@Stratacaster87 sounds the same as it does on teh album to me. Maybe you are in a time warped zone? or have tunnel vision?

[pedrobrz]

In The Name Of Petrucci.

Petrucci is sick...omfg.

[KenobiM11]

Im not touching another guitar ever again in my miserable mortal life Dx!

[SyntheticSoul2000]

Petrucci didn`t sell his soul to the Devil, the Devil sold his soul to Petrucci.

[TheNorthernStrings]

If someone compares Petrucci to Malmsteen don't no anything about music of this genre, no offense but that's just ridiculous...

[Mahan2478]

He's Devil

[desidude123]

in the name of petrucci.

\m/

[MercyStudios]

How can you hit every Pie forsaken note in that solo and NOT HIT THE BLOODY HARMONIC AT THE END, MR PETRUCCI?! Lol!

[davidis29]

tell me world, HOW CAN FOUR MEN PLAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS, COUNTLESS TIMES, WITHOUT ANY MISTAKES?!

goddammit, I think the triangle is more my thing now...

[MichaelsPortraits]

Are there any songs anyone can recommend where Petrucci plays with some emotion or feel or phrasing or fucking anything?..I would really like to hear it.....this was just a bunch of harmonic minor and phrygian scales played cleanly and expertly up and down the neck .....it had all the drama of listening to a typewriter.....

[Quizitax]

@MichaelsPortraits Octavarium

[BDDominick75]

@MichaelsPortraits So far all of his songs are better than all of yours...BOOM!

[MichaelsPortraits]

@BDDominick75 ...I guess im more in the Hendrix , jimmy page , John Frusciante thing ...to me this sounds like what Yngwie was doing 25 years ago .....I do like Petrucci's tone however

[fragrenade1]

@MichaelsPortraits Petrucci is MUCH better than Yngwie D: Plus Petrucci isn't horrible to his fans either :)

[davidis29]

@MichaelsPortraits through her eyes, the spirit carries on, (the end of) octavarium, the count of Tuscany, etc... Dream theater has enough music & talent to be versatile :)

[givemeajackson]

@MichaelsPortraits count of tuscany, shattered fortress, erotomania (the first solo, not the second one) lines in the sand, glasgow kiss.

[daspidrr]

@MichaelsPortraits Hollow years, live at the Budokan version... I can't get enough of the intro

[stonedparyah]

Hmm.. they're playing this really slowly, and john Myung is messing up a lot o.0

[PabloDarioLi]

JP kicks some serious asses

[TheSAJ11]

God damn

[plugza]

So this is the clip that make you done with the guitar?

/me Crash~

[VirgilDonatela]

1:53 Portnoy fail ! hahahaha

[VirgilDonatela]

[fragrenade1]

When Petrucci doesn't alternate pick... people STILL die...

[rickizta668]

oooooohhhhhhh.. comment wars.

I love reading them.

[dudaspriest11]

you know the solo is intense when even rudess has to use 2 hands...

[MrSoturin]

@dudaspriest11 ...while looking at the camera, because he can't unbe Rudess

[givemeajackson]

merry christmas. let me tell you a story: exactly 2011 years ago, jesus christ came to earth, the son of john petrucci. petrucci and jesus mother maria had sex, but petrucci time warped so she was pregnant and a virgin at the same time. and that's the story the petruccianity is based on...

[MichaelsPortraits]

@givemeajackson how fucking moronic

[sirgalabadass343]

John petrucci made a song about himself (God).

[420Ferlito]

Idk why they are still looking for the higgs boson particle, it is standing right there playing the guitar....

[Braskovski]

When God is divided into 2

[decomiddle1]

Petrucci is a man

[VJL099]

What Are Those 6 People Thinking, They obviously Don't Know Great Music When They Hear It

[Gu1tari5t]

I was at this concert in vancouver, was unstoppable

[cdmh1006]

In the name of Dream Theater.

[sfioreful]

oh my god! likes 666 dislikes 6

JP is satan? 

[lepalar]

and in the name of Rudess too

[a3nimansot]

σε ποιον δεν αρεσει γαμω την παναγια του!?

[mcard1d]

I'm pretty sure that Rudess is playing Solitaire on his screen at 1:55 while kicking maximum ass on the keyboard at the same time - that's how bad ass he is.

[TheJerd7]

@mcard1d lmfao! This epic comment made my day

[Andromeda77887]

Waw!!!...

[grape43soda]

He didn't miss that harmonic at the end of the solo... the harmonic missed him.

[Phantom948]

He's most focus at the final when he's playing the rythm guitar that in the solo

[toddpf]

Petrucci is pretty damn amazing.

[phonyaashim]

6 peoples hate bald guy with white goate

[PeterCrisslovechild]

@roblakes1 Ummm...no?

[roblakes1]

@PeterCrisslovechild Ok then explain it to me. 

[ThallesPetrus]

@roblakes1 Listen to the end solo of Octavarium, listen to entire Images & Words Album, listen to Metropolis Pt II album... In The Name of God belongs to the most metal and technique album of Dream Theater (to me). ^^

[llamabearduck]

@roblakes1 3.) I can only suggest to you that you attempt to open your mind a bit more before you make such invalid blanket statements.

[roblakes1]

@llamabearduck Maybe you should listen to Yes,Genesis, or ELP and then maybe you could understand that music isn't about how fast and how many gibberish notes you can play. I don't think this band knows what a rest is. All technique no substance.

The Dream Theater Robots. I can appreciate the technique of the band but i need more than that.

[aki010]

@roblakes1

You sir, are an idiot. And now i shall explain why.

Listen to more songs rather than the solos known to be technical and fast,

Through her eyes? wither? they do write more emotional and slower songs,

They write shit like this just to prove they are the best at it.

Rudess? listen to notes on a dream, then you'll understand.

[roblakes1]

@aki010 I have listen to other songs. Just because you slow it down that doesn't mean

it has emotion. They try i give them that but it comes off fake. They are technical masters but anyone can sit in a room and practice for hours a play this fast BS. You can't learn heart, emotion or soul. My opinion is that JP and JR are soul less in there playing.

However, JM and MP i do like. They have feel in there playing. JL forget about. unlistenable in opinion. That vibrato shits got to go.

[aki010]

@roblakes1 Then my friend, i now respect you. The fact you've given it a go is at least a sign of effort.

I think you're wrong, but thats my opinion, DT isn't for everyone, and everyone looks at music a different way.

[kitun667]

@roblakes1 but mike portnoy must perfectly know to this bands, so other guys should know them too. btw LTE project wieth petrucci portnoy rudes and? LEVIN! so u go an answer

[roblakes1]

@kitun667 WHAT????? I don't understand what you wrote

[roblakes1]

@kitun667 First, you need to learn how to write a sentence. Second, i never said these guys don't know anything about music. IMO they use to much technique and it takes away from there song writing. Listen to a Rick Wakeman or Keith Emerson solos and compare it to JR. Tons more personality and feel. Compare David Gilmour or Jimmy Page solos to JP. Which ones come off with more emotion. Yes JR and JP have more technique but lack this element in there playing.

[TonyForTheWin]

@roblakes1 Dream Theater has always been a band that believes in more is more. That's what made them successful. Although I understand where you're coming from, I believe Petrucci has the best of both worlds, Technique and Emotion. He has his share of soulful playing but people don't really care to post that on the internet they just want the full shred.

[roblakes1]

@TonyForTheWin Do you have anything to upload? i would like to hear some of what your are talking about.

[givemeajackson]

@roblakes1 the best of times solo. nuff said. watch the dr viossy cover, it's note for note and best quality version out there

[kitun667]

@roblakes1 too much technique?! are you kiddin me? Man, dont compare them! u dont must to do this! this is a little bit diffrend kind of progressive music man! and if u dont listen to this why you dont just leave? i was listening Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, David Gilmour and i accept them very much, but im not a fuckin conformists like you and i can listen this and liquid tension experimnet too! dont answer me, just leave to you lovely music and listen to this, what do you want, right? the end

[roblakes1]

@kitun667 You need to proofread your sentences. I don't think you get what i am saying. Hopefully, TonyForTheWin has some tunes to upload for me to listen to.

[llamabearduck]

@roblakes1 2.) You are however wrong for completely making a blanket statement. Just because you cannot appreciate this type of music doesn't mean everyone else is incapable of finding feeling, emotion or personality in this music. If it moves you, regardless in what capacity, it has feeling and emotion. We apply these feelings to music that moves us and it becomes just that.

Music without any listeners or anyone to enjoy it is simply nothing at all. It has no emotion or feel.

[kitun667]

@roblakes1 in my opinion these guys got a very well felling playing that stuff, and if you dont see how emotional is this, u got a problem.

[MrBvitamans7794]

I wonder if the steroids Petrucci are on help his guitar playing at all?

[luigibattista10]

Italians do it better.

Forza Petrucci.

[MlKEPORNTOY]

In The Name Of PORTNOY

Fuck you blasphemers.

[hyphen8nick]

This video is a message: do not form a band thinking you can rival technically with those people. Just write normal music, because this spot is taken :)

[tamialastakagkela]

0:00 Portnoy: spitting

0:01 LaBrie: Oh shit Mike spitting again! I' m gonna take off before anything lands on my head!
