Sam De Paepe for some reason John always seems to have problems with this solo. I'm gonna try to learn it tonight and see why lol then again, sitting at home playing it is nothing like playing outdoors at a music festival for a massive crowd like that
***** Really? I think it sounds so fucking autotuned... :S He is a great studio vocalist and has a voice that fits the band well, but I feel like he's a disaster live
i'm not hearing this at all. Of course this can't compare to a work that was properly mixed. "robotic" sounding is usually due to EQ, unless you can hear the pitch shifting from the autotune, and that is definitely not happening in this video.
I was at this set. I still have the shirt from it and wear it with pride. I waited through 3 bands I don't typically care for to be on the barrier and I regret nothing!!!
LaBrie totally nailed this. I'm so proud of him xD but wtf is with the camera work, why is like 4:19 the first real time we actually get to see Jordan's handy work?!?
Over and over again I relive the moment I'm bearing the burden within Open wounds hidden under my skin Pain is real as a cut that bleeds The face I see every time I try to sleep Staring at me crying I'm running from the enemy inside Looking for the life I left behind These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind And I can't escape from the enemy inside I sever myself from the world And shut down completely All alone in my own living hell Overcome with irrational fear Under the weight of the world on my chest I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath Tell me I'm not dying I'm running from the enemy inside Looking for the life I left behind These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind And I can't escape from the enemy inside I'm a burden and a travesty I'm a prisoner of regret Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams I am hanging on the edge Disaster lurks around the bend Paradise came to an end And no magic pill Can bring it back again I'm running from the enemy inside Looking for the life I left behind These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind And I can't escape from the enemy inside
Note to cameraman; whenever Petrucci begins his shred, Park your butt directly in front of him and zoom in on his hands, you can get the shot of the other guys in the band during the other parts of the song, (you're killing me) However, other than that, you did a fine job... DT is always amazing, thank you Dream Theater for the many years of inspiration. Your recent shows in Charlotte and Atlanta were truely magical, Thank you for two unforgettable performances, looking forward to next time.
Loved this entire performance. Can't have been very nice for them playing straight into the sun, but great atmosphere for the audience! Such a pity a lot of people were deserting second stage when they were playing Pull Me Under to find a good spot to watch Metallica.
yea, i just learned it myself and its just weird fingering for the sound that he wants to get so its kinda like when dragonforce messes up, not their fault it sounds great but not easy to imitate the sound live
The funny thing is (at least for me) it's actually one of his easier solos. There's only one sweep and it's very natural and easy to play for me and I'm nowhere near Petrucci's level and the fast fingering patterns are quite easy. Even funnier, the easiest part (again, for me) of the solo is the part at 5:26, which is the part that he REALLY messed up.
If I was the camera man I would have just held the camera in front of Jordan for the whole song. Wtf. There is so much going on with the keys and they don't even show him.
