The song is great in every way and the playing is fantastic. However, the best thing about the video is the part in 2:39 where we can see John and Mike working on the track. THAT is something truly special and John's smile made my day!!!
And now you end up going to the Fluid Dynamics exam with guitar in hand, trying to explain impulsively with lines of insane musical geometry - eh, sweet
Love your comment. John is such a technician, but he is always so musical it doesn't bother me. He has absolutely whooped my ass into a 10x more disciplined player over the last 25 years. He inspires me to play more than anyone ever has. Fortunately, 99% of that time is when I have a guitar or 2 a few feet away at most. It's easier than ever to approach his technique with all this vidjas and interwebs and everything in between floating around. I had to do it the fucking HARD way...wearing tapes out, looking at (BAD) tabs like ?#@?? How the FUCK is that like THAT?? LOL...those were the days. Not really. What with these Fractals and Mark V plugins and such, you can get the tone for less than ever...it used to cost $10k at the minimum to have that kind of tone...plus a shitload of studio knowledge. Polished tones are like water these days, all you gotta do is learn how to drink it like a pro. Practice till it hurts kids
@@Minenangel I love the singing....in my experiences, making a guitar sing is the best way to captivate an audience. I've been at this sport for 30 years now, since I was a little snot nose 13 year old wearing Levis's and Metallica shirts. I thought I could play pretty good by the time I was 18. I could definitely play, but I had NO CLUE that this was literally the starting point of playing...it's the advanced stuff that really separates the men from the boys. Things like dynamics, tone, control, spot on intonated bends, vibrato, volume control, proper use of effects, improvisation, smooth and tasty bar work, etc....and making EVERY note count and have its own flavor and delivery. I think I'm FINALLY starting to really understand this here wooden thing, it only took 3 decades. 😂
It's so touching that I'm crying to see Portnoy and Petrucci playing together. Portnoy~ I'm sad about the years that have been stained on your hair. I have really happy tears. ㅠㅠ
You just can’t get any better than John and Mike, in terms of a guitarist/drummer combo! Aside from friends and family, these are my 2 favorite humans and seeing them back in action is just indescribable

This sounds so... right. There's a particular feeling to the Petrucci/Portnoy duo that I haven't felt in way too long. Now it's back like it never went away.

@@Joemaj939 Since when JP become an drummer I don't know 😂 making some tune and writing drum patterns are different.. Learn about it. What is your source by the way
how is it one of the most influential guitar gods can only have 55k subscribers and someone who wears the right cloths gets over a million. you have touched the hearts of so many john. oh your new album ...... thank you as we all feel. without you the scene never would have existed as it does today. let all new metal and prog pay homage to the mark IIc himself. I once thought that true musicians come back. the more I study history and what we are and where we come from I realize. you did it all in this life.
There are female amateur drummers wearing nearly bikinis with 10-15x more subs. Just how the world is. You have blatantly fake prank channels with millions of subs, people who for some reason can't see how fake it is while legitimate prank channels pale in subs in comparison. End of the day, the true artists are not doing it for clout.
I completely agree. They just have a musical bond that is instantly recognisable whether you're a casual listener or a hardcore fan. Truly once in a generation stuff imo.
I got choked up for a second. It's great to see/hear them together again. Dreams do come true. And that is no knock against Mangini. Great to see Dave LaRue as well. Monster players!
You can close your eyes, and feel the energy the chemistry all the things that made dream theater something special for me for almost 24 years (I'm 30), all those things are back. It is not only beautiful but very very special and important. Thanks Mike, thanks John. I love you guys

The word "mature" is coming to mind. His playing has evolved so much over time, and he never stops trying new things while continuously growing his technique. I am beyond excited to hear the whole album!
I am assuming you mean MP - instantly recognizable and holy smokes some awesome percussion there - Pertrucci is brilliant and obviously feeding off the synergy of jamming with MP again. Awesome piece well written and well played. This video made my day and I hope they reunite the band as it should be and pronto.
John Petrucci is one of the greatest guitarists ever. And now….more great music. The fans owe Petrucci a great debt. The fans continually want more material, AND John Petrucci delivers!
Can we all take a moment to appreciate John's cerebrum. Let me explain: He has this lead style which always sounds like 'him'. Somehow he's never written a phrase that's a total rip off of any earlier stuff. How does someone write thousands of melodies over their career, and stay true to their tone and expression, without turning into a copy-paste specialist? Very cool brain, bro.
@Todd Lewis Sorry but A LOT on Systematic Chaos sounds like stuff from Train of Thought and Six Degrees of Inner T. and Scenes From a Memory. But yeah he s a Melody genius aside from that. Which he proves with this Song
I agree totally, although it could be accidental that some phrases often come out as "inspired" or very familiar to other phrases whether from his or other guitarists. for example the phrase at 0:53-0:55 sounds much like Vinnie Moore rather than trucci. Gotta love papa john's music, also I recommend Buckethead, if you are looking for variety and a unique tone.
John and Mike's playing blend together so naturally, it's incredible. There's a natural and incredible chemistry between them that blends so well. It feels like natural glue, and my ears like it, lol. I also enjoy so much Mike's playing, his groove is so smooth and at the same time, in time.
Damn right, I usually don't listen to solo albums because I find the guitar to be too flashy. But this song has a ballance to it, the drums fit perfectly the riffs and solos! :)
@@shaymiantewhau3014 I checked em out, it's so interesting to feel the emotion the instrumental music creates (I come from a metal background :D). Have you tried playing a song from either one of them? They seem challenging but rewarding

Seeing two of my MUSICAL HEROES working together after all this years really gives me LIFE and HOPE for the future. Thank you John, Mike and Dave, can’t wait to buy (not stream) the album!!!
Saw last night in El Cajon California. I have not cry this many tears in a long time. The concert was breath taking! Terminal Velocity, Damage Control and Glasgow Kiss took the crowd out of the floor!!!! Great performance… and Portnoys charisma is out of the charts.
157 covers by players all owning a JP signature model, and inadvertently showing their whole recording gig in the background, all in the name of emotions of course
@@darkdudironaji That sounds cool. I'll have to check that out. This is why I love music video comment sections. When you mention an artist, your comment might be seen by some one who's never heard of them before, and might then decide to give them a try.
@@darkdudironaji At the time of writing that comment, I hadn't. But now, thanks to you, I've listened to several of his songs. I'm liking it so far. He reminds me of Toehider, but more thrashy and straight-ahead.
In the 80s John Petrucci and Kevin Moore taught music lessons at Focus II Guitar Center in Commack New York. I took lessons there but not with John, a guy named Joe but I would hear John giving lessons next door. This was before they were famous. My mother took piano lessons with Kevin while I was in my guitar lessons to pass the time. She was a doctor and never practiced, I think Kevin was very patient with her but knew she wasn’t a serious student.
Oh man, just found this. My teenage daughter and I saw the tour in Nashville a few months back, 2nd row center stage. She just gave me the CD for Christmas. Call me Mr. Lucky. Thanks for the amazing memory John!!
I remember in a very old interview JP saying that when he writes a 1.5 minute solo, his main concern is that the listener won't yawn through it. And that's exactly what he does, at least in my book. He's the only shredder I know where every note seems to be meticulously and painstakingly placed exactly where it's supposed to be. Listening to his solos makes me feel like they were there all along, just waiting for him to piece them together. A unique and unmatched talent.
He's definitely a shredder who gets to the point. One of my favorite virtuoso soloists to listen to, just because of this point. His solos never overstay their welcome and they always have something to say.
1:20 - Petrucci adjusts the knobs that control planetary orbits, just in time to avoid a rampaging exoplanet from another stellar system crashing into Earth, giving Earthlings a chance to listen to his album first.
I remember the 1st time that I heard about Petrucci, LaRue & Portnoy, It was in 2009 through my mother (a person who never listens HM) and she bought me an historic concert back in 2005: G3: Live in Tokyo and the 1st song "Glasgow Kiss" was my history about these 3 members in my personal life. Now in 2020, that song is still one of my favorites and Petrucci, Portnoy & LaRue participation in G3 is still one of the best (for me). And this new song is in another level, better than the 1st time I heard. Hail John, Dave & Mike!
... and I remember how that G3 DVD was "that new Petrucci DVD". Feels like yesterday, but hey - so does unwrapping Scenes from a memory on Xmas eve 1999... 🥰

This feels like coming home to mom. The groove is so fetching. Classic old school 90 shred. Perfect. A hint of erotomania vibe on the solo and the count of tuscany sound.
Seeing John and Mike together is like Dream come true! You made great Theater with this amazing piece of music! Whole song is so refreshing and so much different than other instrumental songs from other great guitar players. For me John's and Mike's playing is so uniqe and has this wonderful magic inside. John was my first guitar instructor with Rock Discipline. Amazing guy! Anyway, great song! Can't wait to hear more. I wish there was interview with John and Mike. Keep rockin' guys!! :)

One of the best guitaris of all time! John Petrucci is legacy of our civilization. I hope future human civilization can find his musics and continue the legacy till the expanding to other planet's civilization.
It is impossible to hear and see this without a smile on the face. This is truly amazing, Portnoy belongs to Petrucci and Petrucci belongs to Portnoy, period.
As a boy, I grew up listening to these guys since no music was available that sounded this good!. Twice I went to see them in Puerto Rico and the experience was remarkable. Dream Theater does sound incredible now! Mangini is a beast, but there is an essence that is missing from DT early days. Is not MP, is not JP, is this combination here represented! It is the octupus! For the DT fans, this is emotional as hell! God bless you and thanks for doing this!

Honestly among young players I barely hear Petrucci even mentioned outside of prog metal fans. Tosin Abasi gets more fanfare in the last decade anyway. Not saying I agree with it, but yeah.
I can remember the day back in 2010 when my head was so low after hearing the news about MP. This video has lifted my spirits so high! I CANNOT wait for this release. This trio is legendary and this SINGLE F****** ROCKS!

practice, bruh ;-)
Haha! I liked that comment!

He inspires me to play more than anyone ever has. Fortunately, 99% of that time is when I have a guitar or 2 a few feet away at most.
It's easier than ever to approach his technique with all this vidjas and interwebs and everything in between floating around. I had to do it the fucking HARD way...wearing tapes out, looking at (BAD) tabs like ?#@?? How the FUCK is that like THAT?? LOL...those were the days. Not really. What with these Fractals and Mark V plugins and such, you can get the tone for less than ever...it used to cost $10k at the minimum to have that kind of tone...plus a shitload of studio knowledge.

the chemestry to make music between those guys is the missing part of DT. (not criticizing anyone, it's just my opinion)
Mangina hits stuff with sticks; Portnoy plays music. End of story, as far as I’m concerned.

Artificial Insolence it's deadly perfect match of incredible sound!! nice..
It's hard not to love MP
Absolutely!
there is a magic of the guitar and drum sounds of theirs just totally melding perfectly
I'm curious if they actually did play "together", or was this entire project done in isolation.
This is the best instumental record I've ever heard. Amazing, techically brilliant and melodically excellant. What else would you expect when you put together 3 of the top musicians in their class.
Agree Vin it’s Awesome! Also check out - 3 Rules - new band featuring Symphony X drummer Jason Rullo. All instrumental. Brilliant.

Joy here too. That's a lot of compression on those drums, guessing Mike wasn't in the mixing session.

IC1101 A New Star Born What’s your deal? It’s literally what happened! Petrucci literally wrote the drums and Portnoy added his touches to them. What’s assholic about my comment?
@@Joemaj939 Since when JP become an drummer I don't know 😂 making some tune and writing drum patterns are different.. Learn about it. What is your source by the way
Written: Petrucci and Portnoy.
Lyrics by John Myung.
😂
That actually made me snort... 🤣
@@nicholastotoro7721 Hilarious! Made my day!
Hahahahahah
tira o John Myung da reta. ele nem está no projeto cara kkk
They should revive the Liquid Tesion Experiment.
They're getting back together, according to Jordan Rudess:

Yes!!!!!!
Yes. This album is already halfway there.
From what Jordan said recently, it could very well happen.
Hoping to see when the water breaks part 2 :)
how is it one of the most influential guitar gods can only have 55k subscribers and someone who wears the right cloths
gets over a million.
you have touched the hearts of so many john.
oh your new album ......
thank you as we all feel.
without you the scene never would have existed as it does today.
let all new metal and prog pay homage to the mark IIc himself.
I once thought that true musicians come back.
the more I study history and what we are and where we come from I realize.
you did it all in this life.
There are female amateur drummers wearing nearly bikinis with 10-15x more subs. Just how the world is. You have blatantly fake prank channels with millions of subs, people who for some reason can't see how fake it is while legitimate prank channels pale in subs in comparison. End of the day, the true artists are not doing it for clout.
You can ear immediately that its portnoy playing. this is his place, with you mr Petrucci. your sound grows when this guy is on drums. Great song
The creativity, the tiny little variations in hits, the micro-fills he throws in... Portnoy has this style that just WORKS with Petrucci's. LOVE it.
I completely agree. They just have a musical bond that is instantly recognisable whether you're a casual listener or a hardcore fan. Truly once in a generation stuff imo.
I said exactly the same! The Portnoy touch is unique. I honestly don't like the song, but is great hear Portnoy drums.
correct!!
I got choked up for a second. It's great to see/hear them together again. Dreams do come true. And that is no knock against Mangini. Great to see Dave LaRue as well. Monster players!
Mangini is great but MP should still be DTs drummer. It still doesn't feel or sound right without him, as great as MM is.
IT's really fun seeing you and Portnoy work together you can hear the Chemistry.
Facts! I love Mangini, but Portnoy will always be my favorite.
Yes, it's so trueeeee
Yep- you can’t beat the Petrucci + Portnoy combo; they were born to play together
Portnoy got fucked. Glad Petrucci is working with him.
You can close your eyes, and feel the energy the chemistry all the things that made dream theater something special for me for almost 24 years (I'm 30), all those things are back. It is not only beautiful but very very special and important. Thanks Mike, thanks John. I love you guys
When Portnoy is behind the skins, Petrucci turns into a whole another monster. What a match made in prog heaven.
Realmente, MUITO boml!!! 💯🤘 Curti!!

They belong together musically. The CORE of DT along with Myung.
They will always be like PB&J timeless and a perfect match!!!!
Groovy groovy
Chemistry, there is no substitute.
My wife said “What’s with the grin, you’ve had a smirky smile on you face for like 3 minutes straight?” I said SHHHH I’ll stop the stupid face in 3 more. Thanks for making me have a stupid grin. Great to see and feel.

You missed baby Yoda.
Who is la rue
Alexander Ergatoudis - Bass player who plays with The Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse Band, Flying Colors, Planet X, etc.
This guy is totally awesome and totally amazing you can't find a better Guitarist than
Mr John Petrucci
The Dream Team is back. You realize in the first Notes they played over 30 Years together. That's awesome. Music will never destroy a friendship!!
Oliver Pieper businesses may destroying it.. glad to see this dream team.. hope they can bring Kevin Moore too
@@tejacavalera I think that ship has sailed a long time ago, but hey, you never know
I don't even know where Kevin Moore is since Awake.
Although...Portnoy left !!! But I think he was right.DT deserve a 5-6 years break. But hey, everybody needs to pay the rent.
@@Will057 Kevin has remained active in music, mostly under the name Chroma Key for his solo material. He's also done several albums with Jim Matheos (Fates Warning) under the name OSI. Portnoy played drums on the first two.
Makes me happy in pants... ❤️
Coffee with Ola - John Petrucci, soon?
Ola Englund 😂🤘🏻
@@msoma6567 he said it would but he wanted it in person so after covid hopefully
but does it CHUG?????

And Flawless also very Happy sound despite name Terminal Velocity. 😂
The word "mature" is coming to mind. His playing has evolved so much over time, and he never stops trying new things while continuously growing his technique. I am beyond excited to hear the whole album!
I am assuming you mean MP - instantly recognizable and holy smokes some awesome percussion there - Pertrucci is brilliant and obviously feeding off the synergy of jamming with MP again. Awesome piece well written and well played. This video made my day and I hope they reunite the band as it should be and pronto.
João Pedro Maldonado Gatto - Yeah, you said that.
John Petrucci is one of the greatest guitarists ever. And now….more great music.
The fans owe Petrucci a great debt. The fans continually want more material, AND John Petrucci delivers!
Can we all take a moment to appreciate John's cerebrum. Let me explain: He has this lead style which always sounds like 'him'. Somehow he's never written a phrase that's a total rip off of any earlier stuff. How does someone write thousands of melodies over their career, and stay true to their tone and expression, without turning into a copy-paste specialist? Very cool brain, bro.
@Todd Lewis
Sorry but A LOT on Systematic Chaos sounds like stuff from Train of Thought and Six Degrees of Inner T. and Scenes From a Memory.
But yeah he s a Melody genius aside from that. Which he proves with this Song
Hes a pro thats how.😊 can you rip off your own riffs?
@@shearfury147
He can appearently. I didnt say 1:1 rip off i meant its sounds very similar familiar
The biggest brain
I agree totally, although it could be accidental that some phrases often come out as "inspired" or very familiar to other phrases whether from his or other guitarists.
for example the phrase at 0:53-0:55 sounds much like Vinnie Moore rather than trucci.
Gotta love papa john's music, also I recommend Buckethead, if you are looking for variety and a unique tone.
John and Mike's playing blend together so naturally, it's incredible. There's a natural and incredible chemistry between them that blends so well. It feels like natural glue, and my ears like it, lol. I also enjoy so much Mike's playing, his groove is so smooth and at the same time, in time.
Pure joy. Nothing forced about this- feels right.
Damn right, I usually don't listen to solo albums because I find the guitar to be too flashy. But this song has a ballance to it, the drums fit perfectly the riffs and solos! :)
@@victorstriga what do you think of plini and intervals?
@@shaymiantewhau3014 I checked em out, it's so interesting to feel the emotion the instrumental music creates (I come from a metal background :D). Have you tried playing a song from either one of them? They seem challenging but rewarding
@@victorstriga I just enjoy listening to them. I haven't tried learning any of their stuff... yet :)
I just had that feeling of chills. The drums and guitar are a musical marriage.
Seeing Mike Portnoy with petrucci just feels so good. I have feeling I'm gonna love this album
Realmente, MUITO legall!!! 💯🤘 Curti!!

Seeing two of my MUSICAL HEROES working together after all this years really gives me LIFE and HOPE for the future. Thank you John, Mike and Dave, can’t wait to buy (not stream) the album!!!
Just pre-ordered. Yesssss
Ahh man. Just sitting here at 4 AM smiling like a kid in a candy store seeing Petrucci and Portnoy back together. Feelsgoodman.jpg
1:15am here lol.
Saw last night in El Cajon California. I have not cry this many tears in a long time. The concert was breath taking! Terminal Velocity, Damage Control and Glasgow Kiss took the crowd out of the floor!!!! Great performance… and Portnoys charisma is out of the charts.
Next video: John reacts to the players covering Terminal Velocity
It’ll be uploaded in about 20 minutes 😂
It's probably done already
157 covers by players all owning a JP signature model, and inadvertently showing their whole recording gig in the background, all in the name of emotions of course
hey its the canon rock guy :)
Maybe he gotta make stuff harder
2020: "I'm just going to be one bad thing after another with no respite."

Don't forget planetary lockdown by Bumblefoot
@@darkdudironaji
That sounds cool. I'll have to check that out.
This is why I love music video comment sections. When you mention an artist, your comment might be seen by some one who's never heard of them before, and might then decide to give them a try.
Is it really that bad?
@@lightningfirst689 You've never heard of Bumblefoot!?
@@darkdudironaji
At the time of writing that comment, I hadn't. But now, thanks to you, I've listened to several of his songs. I'm liking it so far. He reminds me of Toehider, but more thrashy and straight-ahead.
Thick chocolate cake
This ain't chocolate. More like a savory, smokey barbecue.
Dreamy vanilla with cheesecake frosting and sparklers for candles
I still listen to this whole album and Happy Song brings me to tears of joy every single time. Genius.
In the 80s John Petrucci and Kevin Moore taught music lessons at Focus II Guitar Center in Commack New York. I took lessons there but not with John, a guy named Joe but I would hear John giving lessons next door. This was before they were famous. My mother took piano lessons with Kevin while I was in my guitar lessons to pass the time. She was a doctor and never practiced, I think Kevin was very patient with her but knew she wasn’t a serious student.
That’s amazing, I love stories like this.
@@deasnutz4ever same
Damn, what a story haha. Sounds awesome tbh!
WOW amazing story!
I know Mike's performance is grabbing the attention, but I'm going to throw a little love at Dave LaRue, a monster player,.
This sounds like happiness
Always thought electric sunrise was happiness
Cliffs of Dover
Oh man, just found this. My teenage daughter and I saw the tour in Nashville a few months back, 2nd row center stage. She just gave me the CD for Christmas. Call me Mr. Lucky. Thanks for the amazing memory John!!
I remember in a very old interview JP saying that when he writes a 1.5 minute solo, his main concern is that the listener won't yawn through it. And that's exactly what he does, at least in my book. He's the only shredder I know where every note seems to be meticulously and painstakingly placed exactly where it's supposed to be. Listening to his solos makes me feel like they were there all along, just waiting for him to piece them together. A unique and unmatched talent.
Well said!
He's definitely a shredder who gets to the point. One of my favorite virtuoso soloists to listen to, just because of this point. His solos never overstay their welcome and they always have something to say.
1:20 - Petrucci adjusts the knobs that control planetary orbits, just in time to avoid a rampaging exoplanet from another stellar system crashing into Earth, giving Earthlings a chance to listen to his album first.
"Oh man, a new song from John!"
"Ouh, sounds good so far.. OMFG IS THAT PORTNOY ???!"
It has been known for a long time that Portnoy was gonna play on the new JP album.
Glenn Wouda - Unless it wasn’t.
One of the World's most popular Guitarist 🎸 👌 ✨️ 👏 🙌 😎 🎸
Ever John Petrucci Best Guitarist Ever known
5:48 DT like old times
Θυμισε λίγο μπλακ κλαουντς φάση (όλο το κομμάτι) αλλά με ένα πιο μοντέρνο υφος, πιο χαρούμενο και πιο μελλοντικό
JP & MP together again sounds perfect!! I missed this combination and chemistry!
I remember the 1st time that I heard about Petrucci, LaRue & Portnoy, It was in 2009 through my mother (a person who never listens HM) and she bought me an historic concert back in 2005: G3: Live in Tokyo
and the 1st song "Glasgow Kiss" was my history about these 3 members in my personal life.
Now in 2020, that song is still one of my favorites and Petrucci, Portnoy & LaRue participation in G3 is still one of the best (for me).
And this new song is in another level, better than the 1st time I heard.
Hail John, Dave & Mike!
... and I remember how that G3 DVD was "that new Petrucci DVD". Feels like yesterday, but hey - so does unwrapping Scenes from a memory on Xmas eve 1999... 🥰
@@stringfinity Oh yeah!
It was out of control
Now we can see again both in the dream theater.

This feels like coming home to mom. The groove is so fetching. Classic old school 90 shred. Perfect. A hint of erotomania vibe on the solo and the count of tuscany sound.
Merqury5 hit the nail on the head. It sounds great.
Coming home to mom - Nailed it!
The baby Yoda next to the Mesa Boogie is the key element for John´s tone here.
Say baby Yoda Mesa Boogie 10 times fast.
@@jozjonlin3170 Not so hard as playing the notes of this song as fast as Petrucci :)
@@GabrielNardinMusic I can't do either one very fast. Thankfully, I can slow RUclips to a crawl and see what's going on in many spots.
So much inspiring.
portnoy is the perfect sound for petrucci's playing.larue also my favorite
John looks like he spent 30 years of his life living in isolation in an unmarked wilderness practicing how to shred
Funny thing is he could play like this 30 years ago.
His beard looks like, if I tried to punch him, not only would his beard stop me, but it would punch me back and then break off my arm.
Great song! There are musicians made for each other. Mike and John seem to elevate and compliment each other. That is rare.
I almost cried when I saw Portnoy clapping and John on the acoustic, to see that again, that was Fing AWESOME!!!
Same here. 😭
Almost surreal. Like they were never apart.
I could listen to this 100x in a row and still find it energizing and motivating!
Funny how the music is as upbeat as our hearts when we see those 2 together.
Seeing John and Mike together is like Dream come true! You made great Theater with this amazing piece of music!
Whole song is so refreshing and so much different than other instrumental songs from other great guitar players. For me John's and Mike's playing is so uniqe and has this wonderful magic inside. John was my first guitar instructor with Rock Discipline. Amazing guy!
Anyway, great song! Can't wait to hear more. I wish there was interview with John and Mike.
Keep rockin' guys!! :)

Cara, que sensacional!! É como assistir os Vingadores! Demais!!!
Salve, mestre Marcos!!
Nem me fale, tô chorando aqui... ver a imagem dos dois juntos tocando novamente não tem preço!
nunca assisti vingadores, deve de ser muito bom! ✌
Da-lhe corda solta!
Melhor do que isso só um álbum disso.
One of the best guitaris of all time!
John Petrucci is legacy of our civilization.
I hope future human civilization can find his musics and continue the legacy till the expanding to other planet's civilization.
JP & MP together forever... The SOUND 🤟🏻
The most inspirational guitarist of all time. Moves my heart to new heights. Love you, Petrucci!
It is impossible to hear and see this without a smile on the face. This is truly amazing, Portnoy belongs to Petrucci and Petrucci belongs to Portnoy, period.
Dear John thank you for the years .. you always get me through toughest times 😕
As a boy, I grew up listening to these guys since no music was available that sounded this good!. Twice I went to see them in Puerto Rico and the experience was remarkable. Dream Theater does sound incredible now! Mangini is a beast, but there is an essence that is missing from DT early days. Is not MP, is not JP, is this combination here represented! It is the octupus! For the DT fans, this is emotional as hell! God bless you and thanks for doing this!
lets admit, Petrucci is the king of "post modern electric guitar", from 00´s he has been THE most influential guitar player of young generations

You must not know Buckethead.
@@richspizzaparty of course i know him, but does he get the same followers¿? noupe
Honestly among young players I barely hear Petrucci even mentioned outside of prog metal fans. Tosin Abasi gets more fanfare in the last decade anyway. Not saying I agree with it, but yeah.
@@amostlyreasonableguy could be, im old (31), lol
Really loving John Myung's vocals on this
It’s criminal that people like John doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.
yes i was thinking about that, how most influential guitarist like john still has 121K subs?!? a lot of "trash content" has a million subs.
If you don't think human beings are idiots, then explain how there are 627 dislikes for John Petrucci's guitar playing...WTF?
I think is just people with parkinson or something else... XD
I'm wondering how TF they can possibly dislike such an amazing artist...wow!!!
Bitchiness and jealousy usually
They are kpop dickriders... They don't really know about JP.
They thought it said "dis I like"
Seeing John and mike play together again...feels like 2 separate half's of my heart have been put back together again.
I can remember the day back in 2010 when my head was so low after hearing the news about MP. This video has lifted my spirits so high! I CANNOT wait for this release. This trio is legendary and this SINGLE F****** ROCKS!
My favorite guitarist and his music gives me a lot of satisfaction and joy, that's why I like to learn from him - greetings from Poland
