I'm just listening to John Petrucci for the 2nd day. I'm getting blown away!!! How can anyone be so amazing on the guitar?!!!! I'm running out of superlatives. It's equally amazing that I've survived this long without hearing John Petrucci play. I don't know whether to sell my guitar, or to stop eating so I have more time to practice 😢.
I'm right there with ya bro. Problem is, the listening to JP part cuts into my practice time, which I have to do more of if I'm ever gonna learn his stuff (it takes hours each day!)
Yeah, like every fucking song can stand on its own as amazing. Not sure if he signed a deal in blood with the devil or something lol. Could you imagine him and Friedman playing a collab together?
Yeah kinda not great to him... though, to be fair, it's a John Petrucci album, which means not only that the guitar will be the primary focus, but also that it will be in a certain style where the bass is not very prominent. And I'm sure he is aware of that. Drums are much more important to this style of music, especially with weird time signatures like in this song, and of course the guitar is the center spotlight. They're also both very noticeable, whereas the bass really isn't gonna be heard, or noticed very easily. You have to listen for it. So it's understandable that LaRue's not getting nearly as much attention, and I think he is probably okay with it as well.
Pretty insane. Kind of reminds me of Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob) a little. He was one of the first I heard use that sound and technique with speed like that (With an obvious nod to Shawn Lane.)
This song is badass, especially from 3:13 on.... Gonna crank it up in my new Cybertruck next year when I pick it up in Austin and go hunting for some glass-eyed zombies.
Feel the toxic atmosphere in the first part, the second are zombies going to eat your brain, war against few humans and lots of zombies. It's incredible how this track simply describes all these scenarios without a word. The tridimensionality of the guitars is the icing to the cake. My favourite track of this album with temple of circadia, hard metal applied perfectly.
@@ProgSnob14he can't play like mangini?? what are you talking about haven't you Listen to " Temple of circadia" the song is similar to " bridges in the sky" so Mp can play mangini part
A Limpeza que o Portnoy consegue, tanto com a masterização da bateria, como também a execução na hora de colocar notas com os pratos. Isso é que da o toque especial com as criações do Petrucci. Sempre vai ser muito bom ter Portnoy e Petrucci juntos. Dave Larue é um monstro. Só faltava uma voz rasgante e nervosa, seria uma banda perfeita. Que venha os shows e os próximos Cd's.
John petrucci is back, is like god going down to Earth a little bit to give us a taste of his divinity LOL. I WAS ALL DAY LONG LISTING TO THIS, IM HEADBANGING ALL DAY LONG WITH THIS HEAVY RIFFS !! THANKS PETRUCCI FOR THIS
Oh my lord! Mike and Jhon please make records more often! You guys are such an inspiration for thousands of smaller musicians like me! I feel like playing guitar and drums at the same time wtf!!!??? Amazing !!!!!!
Raw power. Very inspiring. First off the sound of the mix is amazing and Johns guitar of course, like he said a piece of chocolate cake. (Love It). Of course MP drum playing so musical. And don't forget that amazing bass rhythm sections. Bringing back that power sound that is missing from music today.
Something magical about these two, when they collaborate.
Yeah, no kidding. Heart n soul of DT.

Vocals are amazing
I hate vocals. Just want that sweet guitar and drums
@@lordPix3lUK r/wooooosh
Way Better than labrie
Imagine this line up with Russel Allen, the universe just exploded.
Hahahaha vocals that was good.
Just when you thought John was slacking off on his alternate picking he gives you a train of notes... We love you Mr. Petrucci 😁
I think the friendship between Portnoy and Petrucci brings more inspiration to both. Amazing!!
Dont forget Dave on Bass... he is incredible too...
Yeah! A truely master. His bass solo on warfinger by planet x on live from oz álbum?? A perfect bass máster!
Davie504???? lol
And billy shihann
He basicaly learned Petrucci riffs
Incredible, this gives me inspiration to practice all day and do nothing else except listen to Petrucci 🤘🤘🤘
I'm right there with ya bro. Problem is, the listening to JP part cuts into my practice time, which I have to do more of if I'm ever gonna learn his stuff (it takes hours each day!)
I definitely can relate. Never felt more inspired to practice than after hearing JP's sick riffs
Portnoy always very detalist in the cimbals, portnoy is other level.
Portnoy is like the salt and pepper of that soup
Yeah man really that. Mangine look like a lemon haha.
Wanderson Mike M is just fine.
@@Killerklownsfromouterspace meh
EdrumSense Hang on, I’ll get the tissue.
Killerklownsfromouterspace There will always be a Mike Portnoy shaped hole in Dream Theater.
MP's cymbal work is just from another planet 🔥
Open hi-hats too.
Portnoy kicks ass on this! They all do, actually! 😍❤️🔥😍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍😍😍❤️
Vince Palamara! Vince Paramala!!
The best guitarist ever
And don't forget the best drummer too Mike Portnoy. They're beast went come up with new kind of music
@@joejr6103 yes ofcourse!!
best, no, good yes
@Vecxio you can disagree. but i dont think its foolish at all. who do you think is better?
@Vecxio let's remember it's just a matter of taste, he was just giving his opinion.
I don't know where he draw inspiration for all of this. I mean seriously.. I'm already addicted to this album.
Yeah, like every fucking song can stand on its own as amazing.
Not sure if he signed a deal in blood with the devil or something lol.
Could you imagine him and Friedman playing a collab together?
Portnoy amd Petrucci are the bread and butter of music
Dave LaRue reading the comments..."I am on this album too...."
Yeah kinda not great to him... though, to be fair, it's a John Petrucci album, which means not only that the guitar will be the primary focus, but also that it will be in a certain style where the bass is not very prominent. And I'm sure he is aware of that. Drums are much more important to this style of music, especially with weird time signatures like in this song, and of course the guitar is the center spotlight.

So it's understandable that LaRue's not getting nearly as much attention, and I think he is probably okay with it as well.
Like anyone really cares.
@@wob6776 Bass isn't important in metal? stfu dude
Larue is amazing, but given the circumstances....one thing really stuck out about this album!
“John Petrucci”
damage control pt. 2 :)
My thoughts too, back when he was playing this on g3 years ago
Damn, didn't realize this...
Anyone else realise they were not breathing at the end of this? Thumbs up Mr Petrucci!
Impression on first drum beat that is king MP!
4:33 TO 5:36 BEAST ON FIRE MODE
The best way to spend 6 minutes of your life.
Highly recommended.
Holy shit, that ending was brutal
Great to see John and mike working together again
🇧🇷 Petrucci e Portnoy essa é a fórmula mágica!
Verdade mano ,tomare que o portnoy volte para o Dream 🙏
🤔😉👍
@3:47 Petrucci starts slayimg the dragons!!!!!
John petrucci and Mike portnoy combination wow 😍feels like black clouds and silver lining a rite of passage.
Heavy, very heavy, feeling, a mix of sensations, very John Petrucci style ...
It's Petrucci's new album and 90% of comments are about MP.
WTF, man?!
Now you how this is important hahahaha
Portnoy is superstar
He is the other half of the god.
I think if MP dropped a surprise metal album and was like hey, I got JP on guitar, everyone would be like JAYYYYYPEEEEEEEEE
We're just stoked to see the dream team back together.
what a monumental level on dynamics and production petrucci has take...15 years of waiting has it bonus!!
Good job John! But don't wait another 15 years to make your next album. I love your music since your first solo album.
4:33 starts - what may be - the fastest alternately-picked phrase of all time.
Pretty insane. Kind of reminds me of Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob) a little. He was one of the first I heard use that sound and technique with speed like that (With an obvious nod to Shawn Lane.)
@@sheltma1595 Right on.
i don't know if you've heard a guitarist named Paul Gilbert
@@vaughntiron6186 Yes, I know who Paul Gilbert is.
This is the original DT i fell in love with right here. Crazy progression.
Dave LaRue🖤
Wow!!...Amazing Complex Time
Reminds me of Awake. Love it.
One of the best guitar sounds I've heard from John Petrucci.
Amazing!!!
Beast of a song! Killer stuff John, tnx!
This song is badass, especially from 3:13 on.... Gonna crank it up in my new Cybertruck next year when I pick it up in Austin and go hunting for some glass-eyed zombies.

Great riffs, and amazing Mike Portony !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds more like DT, than DT does now. Has a systematic chaos type of vibe
What is DT? A genre?
@@eegoii Dream Theater
Systematic chaos isnt really the album I would consider the sound of dream theater
Cause you don't understand nothing!
Portnoy doing his style 🔥🔥🔥
もう初っぱなのリフからしてくっそカッコいい😆🤘🤘🤘
I realized that it's impossible to drive the speed limit while listening to that solo, especially at the end.
This is pure greatness!! Simply put 🤘
James LaBrie finally nailed the vocals 👍
Absolutely! Do not forget outstanding John Myung's lyric :)
C'mon guys..Ain't fun anymore.
Interesting fact. Mike Portnoy kept some parts that Mike Mangini wrote for the song. But added his own flavors
BuT hE cAn'T pLaY lIkE mAnGiNi!?!?!
@@ProgSnob14 But also there is no need to play like Mangini. :)
u know, Petrucci + Portnoy = perfect recipe for every project
@@ProgSnob14Mangini lacks of stage presence. He's just a berklee teacher in a band, he's not a fucking Rockstar. But hey, you like him, that's ok.
@@ProgSnob14he can't play like mangini?? what are you talking about haven't you Listen to " Temple of circadia" the song is similar to " bridges in the sky" so Mp can play mangini part

Só faltava uma voz rasgante e nervosa, seria uma banda perfeita.
Que venha os shows e os próximos Cd's.
Have a part remember a rite passage solo, always great songs John Petrucci, congratulations !!!
One of the best song of the album Master
🤘🏻You Rock🤘🏻
Pure magic...that guitar tone bro!!

I've been waiting for this the last 15 years!!! Thank you!!
John petrucci is back, is like god going down to Earth a little bit to give us a taste of his divinity LOL. I WAS ALL DAY LONG LISTING TO THIS, IM HEADBANGING ALL DAY LONG WITH THIS HEAVY RIFFS !! THANKS PETRUCCI FOR THIS
4:45 => A Rite Of Passage around 5:32
I heard this when it first came out and still can't get enough of it! John and Mike killing it!
def one of my favs off this album. Been a big fan of this song since I heard John play it at his first guitar universe three years ago
This riff is so JP...love it!
I heard a few brief Tourniquet style moments. Love everything on this album
The best example of the Petrucci sound. I'd brand it "chewy glass".
blisters on my ears
Praise the guitar gods!
The fastest alternate picking of John Petrucci !!!
Nice melodies
Omg i love it right away 😍
A very badass metronomo!
This is easily the best song in the album imo.. the choices, the arrangement, so complete!!!
Amazing!!!
Oh my lord! Mike and Jhon please make records more often! You guys are such an inspiration for thousands of smaller musicians like me! I feel like playing guitar and drums at the same time wtf!!!??? Amazing !!!!!!
Another one of my faves on the album! 🤘👍
damn! so good on so many levels!
Damage control feeling.
Yes!
Are you kidding with that banger riff at 3:46?!?!?!?
Next step: Liquid Tension Experiment
And DT 15 😉
ta certo caraio
and what do you know, recently they announced LTE 3
This song has deep grooves.
suena genial, ya me estoy haciendo adicto a este album
That was sick, I'm ordering it, sold!
My favourite #1 track @ "Terminal Velocity"
Been waiting a while for this one to get a proper recording. Sounds killer as ever.
Saludos amigo desde México buena música
That's amazing!!!!
Yay!
I'm visualizing zombies staggering along to the odd time signature.
Amazing song 😊👊
This guy's not a human!
I love them ❤❤❤❤
3:45 ouh yeaahh!!!
I like DT with Mangini very much! But Portnoy is Portnoy, i miss him in DT! 🤘🏻
This is my favorite song on the album! VERY PROG!!!
WOW!!
Raw power. Very inspiring. First off the sound of the mix is amazing and Johns guitar of course, like he said a piece of chocolate cake. (Love It). Of course MP drum playing so musical. And don't forget that amazing bass rhythm sections. Bringing back that power sound that is missing from music today.
...and that's some amazing chocolate cake :) I would imagine bakers everywhere now have a picture of JP in their kitchens LOL
Oh is THIS mysterious (!)
JP and MP duo is addicting
It's a miracle!!! It's fucking amazing!!! John You Best In The World!!! From Russia with love!!!
John daa apuni tamam

On first listen this tune was my favourite. Insane level of virtuosity
