6:13 It´s amazing how slow he practices such difficult passages, I would imagine he would shred his hands off during warm up, but by doing this you really focus on the mechanics of the fingering and the fundamentals of "x" passage you wanna practice. A true wise guitar master.
when I met him last year he in facrt the whole band would appear to be the same as they were before they made it big.Very polite very humble..just totally cool all of them
Yo, how funny is this clip all these years later? -The EBMM signature was in its infancy and has since exploded into a fleet of industry go-to models for shredding -Now has his own custom amp -Talked about cutting off all his hair, which he has since grown back out with the most epic beard ever -He's excited about just switching to IEMs, which everybody uses now -He correctly mentions no one is complete w/o cell phone and shows his 65-special FLIP phone. 5 years before the iPhone even existed! I remember watching this on DVD when it was brand new, and holy hell that was already 16+ years ago! Man, time flies.
It's funny how many are surprised by the Floyd tune in the background. To me I have always been able to hear a pretty heavy Floyd influence in DT's music from way, way back. Could have done without the shower garbage part though. I like DT just after Rush. Both are so cool in my book, along with Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, UK, King Crimson, some yngwie, etc.
I agree- but you know he has to get rough with it some times. When he plays he glares at the neck with a look that plainly says "Go out of tune and watch what happens when we get home..." Love JP xD
there's nothing worst then to play guitar after a shower... the skin is all soft and sticky... only John P. can play after a shower...:P All praise due!
Too funny John taking people into the shower . I met you in Santiago Chile at the show as a friend of Bens. Had to laugh later as all day I believed you were the guitar tech and related that to Bert B. the lighting sub for Ben. Cheers PT
omg...john petrucci practicing...if they could only document or film john's whole practice time i would definitely finish watching it even if it takes a year to finish watching it..
no, there are some bloopers (not so funny thou), some live footage of JP... but i couldn't pass them to avi... when i get a better "DVDtoavi" software, i'll put those things up
i always read these comments about guitarrists:too technical, too cold no hart, too whatever..being technical doesn't mean that you're better or worst than any other player..these guys (Satriani, Vai, Petrucci, so on) they play with the tools they've gathered up by the years of playing, practicing, trying, challenging themselves to get to where they are now..thats hart, thats effort, they play what comes from the mind and soul..so don't compare guitarrist's technical differences, and enjoy, man
i don't know man his style was so different there and his talking also... he seems like a completely different person right now. he's a more humble guy right now and is simply cooler.
yeah, he can't die, only transend to the next overlord level... but, i agree with Spenzel, although Hendrix was a tragic loss, that was the life style he chose... you can't compare someone's desire to live the life of a rock star, or the desire to just make music and love doin' it..that's a life style, not musical capability... if you think music is just parties and getting blown by someone you don't know, you're really misguided..take care
That is JR at 7:00? haha.. He wants to go where JP is, but then he notice the camera I suppose and makes some time by hitting his leg.. Awkward.. ha :)..
is that James or Jordan at the end in the hallway behind him? I've watched a couple times and can't really tell...and am I the only person on earth who would find a james labrie dvd cool? regardless of what you think of his tone, the guy is a hell of a singer and I'm sure it takes a lot to maintain when they're on the road
hehe... "THE SHOWER SCENE"... they could've done a Hitchcock kind of deal, sneaking in the bathroom with the camara, and surprise "the overlord"...with the music and everything... but i guess JP wouldn't allow that kind of thing, because he would go into kill mode... hehehe, take care, bye
uknow, all those buttons and dials and numbers really confuse me on a rig like that.. in other words ihave no fuckn idea what its for lol. Should i be worried..? imean not everyone here knows what every component of that rig is for right..?
One thing's always made me respect JP and that's how polite he is to everyone. He's a rock star worth millions and doesn't behave like a massive knob.
+AutomobileFunk not a rock star, but a progressive metal guitar god.
all of DT personnel is really polite, no sex, drugs, women
except MP with his alcohol addiction, even that causing a great 12 step suite songs

18 years down the line and John Petrucci has transformed to an idol to millions out there. Amazing guy, what a gifted musician.
I hear Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd playing in the background
haha i just comented that... ig i just have to delete it XD
man I love JP, he seems like a really nice person!
It was really nice watching this, what a down to earth star.
Do they really needed footage of Petrucci literally taking a shower?!?
Loved it,
Never thought I'd ever see that
John Petrucci, one of the rare guys who can wear sandals while playing metal without looking ridiculous (or not so much).
when I met him last year he in facrt the whole band would appear to be the same as they were before they made it big.Very polite very humble..just totally cool all of them
7:02 funny to see JR putting his wig right in place....
pretty sure he's adjusting his in-ear monitors, to be fair

Too funny John taking people into the shower . I met you in Santiago Chile at the show as a friend of Bens. Had to laugh later as all day I believed you were the guitar tech and related that to Bert B. the lighting sub for Ben. Cheers PT

no, there are some bloopers (not so funny thou), some live footage of JP... but i couldn't pass them to avi... when i get a better "DVDtoavi" software, i'll put those things up

As Zappa said...'Touring can make you crazy'.
6:16 he playing The test that stumped them all in slow time.
;-)
LOL jordan near the end coming up the steps, sees the camera n thinks "OH darn!! umm....look cool and pretend u didnt see it :S"
2005?? Long time..
I wish he was my big brother..
me too..
theres bridges that act as pickups too, so possibly thats whats goin on, sorry for bad english ..just woke up
If you carry on clicking 9 John Petrucci suddenly turns into a humble Japanese man haha
5:13 I never thought I would see JP showering...
5:14 rare footage of John
i get the two heads for stereo run. But why the third? is it only dedicated for cleans?
he is quite huge
Once i'm able to own eight different guitars, Imma buy that case :D
The white guitar in the dressing room, did that one have a Fernandes Sustainer?
yeah, he can't die, only transend to the next overlord level... but, i agree with Spenzel, although Hendrix was a tragic loss, that was the life style he chose... you can't compare someone's desire to live the life of a rock star, or the desire to just make music and love doin' it..that's a life style, not musical capability... if you think music is just parties and getting blown by someone you don't know, you're really misguided..take care
At 5:25 which metronome is John using there????
what song is playing on the background in the beginning of the video til 1:50
Shine on You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd
He looks like such a bro with those glasses and hat, especially in that first picture.
I likes his long hair much better as well as his old ibanez.
They're listening to Pink Floyd in the background:D
That is JR at 7:00? haha.. He wants to go where JP is, but then he notice the camera I suppose and makes some time by hitting his leg.. Awkward.. ha :)..
7:07 Jordan pretends to be busy lol
cool we saw him shower.
Hey John, what beautiful guitar!!
MUSIC MAN?
hey can you post the rest of the extra material??
i thort that was my media player playing at the beginging lol
Lol, He's got a mood-light for his guitar case. xD
I want a pick with petrucci!
xD
Pink floyd's touch, always here !
What song is the first 7 seconds and the last 13?
Can anyone tell what kind of metronome hes using?
Damn, Dudley rules..
dudley built that doubleneck, then what did ken masters build for petrucci?
@XanthapazeP yeah, I agree with you, funny how he acts all awkward, he didn't want to get in the shot and mess up the video :P
That's Jordan Rudess @ 7:09
Jump to 5:13 to see the highlight of the video
They skipped the scene where he lifts trains before a show.
hahahaha... that's funny... yeah i was freaked out too when i saw it... i was like "what tha fu?"... take care
gimme that fuckin intrument dude!
is that James or Jordan at the end in the hallway behind him? I've watched a couple times and can't really tell...and am I the only person on earth who would find a james labrie dvd cool? regardless of what you think of his tone, the guy is a hell of a singer and I'm sure it takes a lot to maintain when they're on the road
It's Jordan for sure. You can see him warming up his hands when he stops and waits for the camera.
"I'll show you how slow i practice"
hehe... "THE SHOWER SCENE"... they could've done a Hitchcock kind of deal, sneaking in the bathroom with the camara, and surprise "the overlord"...with the music and everything... but i guess JP wouldn't allow that kind of thing, because he would go into kill mode... hehehe, take care, bye
2:32 Holy shit.
