Re: Dream Theatre As I Am solo (Video)
well played, I've never been a fan of Petrucci because IMO he needs more balls and attitude in his lead playing but I love his rhythm playing and tone. As I Am solo is defeinetly more Zakk Wylde-ish and whatnot than john's usual jazzy leads.
But John has his OWN thing and is one of the greats unlike those lame bands like In Flames and Soilwork whos biggest archivements are ripping-off Iron Maiden's dual harmony leads wich has done million times."There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Re: Dream Theatre As I Am solo (Video)
That's the shame of releasing pure musical genius, all your future work will be put next to it and slayed viciously in the eyes of stale people (read: who don't evolve OR don't accept a musician evolving).
The list is endless:
Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Dream Theater, PF,...
The solo fits the song perfectly and John's improv spots during the recent live shows show just what a good player he is, he's far beyond just shred.
That being said, I agree with Endrik, John can play a MEAN motherfucking lead, but he truly shines in his rhythm playing!You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.Comment

Re: Dream Theatre As I Am solo (Video)
TOT is the only DT album I really like,and I thought you nailed that solo.
Whether you like Petrcucci or not, he's not easy to emulate and I thought you played that really well. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
It's funny to me how people are really all over the place when it comes to Petruccci.
He's not really my style but I like him, he's better when he jams out like he did at G3 a few years ago.
That set was incredible and showed off his range of abilities much better than DT does [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Dream Theatre As I Am solo (Video)
Liquid Tension Experiment is the place to go to really see just how good Petrucci is. Both of those cds (LTE 2 particularly) are absolutely brilliant. I've been trying for ages to learn Universal Mind and its just wickedly hard [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]Comment

Re: Dream Theatre As I Am solo (Video)
Actually, I found Petrucci particularly shone on Explorer's Club Age Of Impact. He just let's loose on there, very loose, free and jammy. It shows how good a player he really is, and because Labrie and others also appeared on the album, it's like DT's members, but with a whole different musical experience behind them.
It's like LTE, but just a step further even. I agree with you though the LTE's are excellent, excellent albums.
Petrucci's best work is still on I&W en Awake for me though, I&W especially, what did the man NOT showcase on that album? Perfection, imho.You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.Comment

Re: Dream Theatre As I Am solo (Video)
> I say to hell with that,+8. As far as I'm concerned,Petrucci is THE MAN. My personal favorite cd of theirs is Scenes,as far as top to bottom. The amazing thing to me about this cd,is the fact that every time I listen to it all the way through,I hear something new,which is very rare. I've raved about this band to practically everyone I know,most dismiss it as annoying and repetitive,and too complicated. Considering MOST of my friends are not musicians,and want to hear words that rhyme,I dismiss this as bullshit. Of all the live solos I've heard in my 28 years around music in general and 20 being involved with our instrument,his solo on OIALT,with Flight at the end,is the one I'd be proudest to play. If this band ever breaks up,I'll probably never buy another cd. The playing in this video is a joy to watch,and you should be as proud as Ramon,the Cuban guy that rides in the back of the BangBus. I have no idea what axe that is,but I suspect a stripped down Dinky or a korina Custom Shop. Either way,I'll flip ya a coin or arm wrestle ya for it,LOL.
