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!!!
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. 😂
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
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
@@middlegroundlogic Modern music spans some 70 years and rapid evolution in that time, so there is history. Whereas the general musical traditions span hundreds or even thousands of years.
@@middlegroundlogic and why is "Modern history" ??!! History doesnt mean something 300-500 years ago, history was, is and will be....think about and maybe you will write better comentary next (sorry for my english)
John Petrucci is one of my favorite guitar players ever I have been watching videos of your rig rundown I think you have one of the most coolest rigs ever thank you for being one of my inspirations to play guitar and have kick ass gear rock on🤘🏻
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.
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
I love you John Petrucci, since I was a young guitar player, and even if I'm not a great guitarist you have always inspired me playing ❤ greetings from Italy!
Notice how Portnoy's drumming is so complimentary to Petrucci's playing? It's like two pieces of a puzzle that fits perfectly. Need more of this stuff. Also thanks for making 2020 a little better for us!

@@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

I prefer Mike Mangini now in DT. Portnoy left, dude. That means he didn't want it anymore. Plus Mangini loves being in the band and his style fits perfectly. All that said, I miss the Portnoy days, but they're gone.
Seeing John & Mike together again feels like the timeline of the universe has been restored! As for me, this has been the best thing to come out of what has been a very trying time for us all! Thanks to John, Mike and Dave for never disappointing and always inspiring the lovers of your craft!

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.

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.
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!

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 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.

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.
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.

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 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... 🥰
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!!
It always seems to amaze me on john petrucci guitar playing and the fact you have mike portnoy doing the drums on this absolutely amazing beautiful song very well put together!! Live on dream theater!! For the future ahead!!
@@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.

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.
1 million views! Thank you so much for all your amazing comments, I am truly humbled by the response to this album 🤘
Amazing album, bro!
So what are Ricky & Bubbles doing currently?

Absolutely!
there is a magic of the guitar and drum sounds of theirs just totally melding perfectly

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.
JP and MP playing together like the good old days.

This is like hidden dream that incarnated.
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.

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

#3 Petrucci reunites with Portnoy for solo project of the century
that's a lot of hair since Petrucci's last solo album. In his next I'll bet he'll look like cousin Itt..
Ухты Партной тут це дуже приємно бачити їх разом! Аж у дитинство закинуло мене
We're like children see our divorced parents get back together 😌😌
☹️
yes you are right
I agree
😁 lol
Agreee
Portnoy and Petrucci save 2020 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You're amazing as well Vince
Kev Awmpuia Thanks! These two are my musical gods! 😍😍😍
@@VincePalamarasecretservicejfk I have always been following up your cameo's and stuff. You're an inspiration.
Kev Awmpuia hey thanks so much!! 😍👍 I did four each with Mike Portnoy, Jeff Scott Soto, Jordan Rudess and Bumblefoot, plus one each with Mangini, LaBrie, Kotzen, etc.
The only good news in 2020.
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.
Universal Mastermind composer John Petrucci, i salute your creation, live long master🎸👍🎸
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.
Funny how the music is as upbeat as our hearts when we see those 2 together.
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 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.
2:39 put a huge smile on my face. Made my whole day.
AMEN! Really wish they had more of those clips

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
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
Anything you do I am just so amazed
Such a sweet sound. His playing is so...timeless for the lack of better word.

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.
2:39 Portnoy: "Yes, my son, very good"
*claps in 12/8*
hahaha
*Actually...*
AHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA
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.
King of “Fastest, Cleanest!” 👑
Fun Fact: No visual effects were used during John's playing.
sixstringman why tell us something obvious?
@@faridmuhtadin4463 right? Lol
im just here waiting to whoosh someone..
No shit sherlock
Haha ok then I'm surely seeing things coz of the epic guitaring thingy going on.
Those aren't special effects they added to the video. That's just what it looks like when Petrucci plays.

Period 👍 👌
hahahah
And his guitar was unplugged when they recorded this
can confrim
This is the time where 2020 will finally get better from!!
V Play Music god I hope so! This is hopefully the start
Don't get your hopes up yet. We got incoming asteroids around September.
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.
Agreed.
This is a masterpiece!
And all the musicians are stellar!!
How blessed are we?!!! 😀
SymphonyX btw is 1 of my fav!
Rock on!!!
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.
They should revive the Liquid Tesion Experiment.
They're getting back together, according to Jordan Rudess:
th-cam.com/video/3kxKcSBoqX4/w-d-xo.html
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 :)
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.
The guitar goat has done it again
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.
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
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 TH-cam to a crawl and see what's going on in many spots.
Amazing guitar playing...jhon petruci..
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
4:08 JP sitting there like "yeaaa this current lick sounds tasty"
LMAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AHAHAHAHAHA
Tenacious d got that
Anyone else get strangely emotional when they saw Portnoy? Legends!
It's me
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!!
JP & MP together again sounds perfect!! I missed this combination and chemistry!
2:39 ❤️ great to see JP and MP creating together.
JP & MP together forever... The SOUND 🤟🏻
The best song ever
OH MY GOSH IM SO HAPPY!
Tu aqui haha
Acabei de ver um video do Dudão dublado e você tava lá, e agr tá aqui também kskskssk
@@gabriels3188 hhehehee
"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.
The 2 beasts are back thank you God
Oops, stopped and read this because I thought you said...2 Breast. Good point though.
It always seems to amaze me on john petrucci guitar playing and the fact you have mike portnoy doing the drums on this absolutely amazing beautiful song very well put together!! Live on dream theater!! For the future ahead!!
This kid could go places if he sticks with it
Mister Tee Dunno man. If he was that good he wouldn’t be on TH-cam with some random guys on bass and drums. He’d be in a real band, know what I mean?
Donkey Kong sucks
TexasFury I was thinking the same hahaha
Really loving John Myung's vocals on this
2020: "I'm just going to be one bad thing after another with no respite."
John Petrucci: "Hold my beard."
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.
He's the best guitarist in the world.
Great song! There are musicians made for each other. Mike and John seem to elevate and compliment each other. That is rare.
02:38 looks like MP clapping JP's playing haha. Great to see you guys together again!
He's clapping the time signature but nevertheless still wholesome
I know Mike's performance is grabbing the attention, but I'm going to throw a little love at Dave LaRue, a monster player,.
Man, having Mike Portnoy and Dave LaRue as your rhythm section. They've teamed up on multiple projects. Three virtuosos. Priceless.
What can I say... when the chemistry is there, will always be there...
Like muscle memory :)

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.
