Went to the G3 concert with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Guthrie Govan in Cologne and could not believe it. Govan went on stage without any Rockstar behaviour. Just a shy guy, pushing the limits to the next level, having fun! The Aristocrats concert last Nov was one of the best things I ever spent money for.
I'm a huge DT fan and they are my favourite band, but I have to admit Guthrie would kick Petrucci's ass at most comparisons, even though both are amazing in their own ways.
You may not believe it, but this song is actually originally written and performed by JUST Marco (drummer). Yes, he played the guitar, bass, and drums on it. He sings and plays keyboard on his own music, as well. Of course, this version is way better.
I disagree...on the studio version with earbuds I believe you can hear the nuances of Marco's drums that (as I believe) define the power of a tornado. Don't believe me...crank it up to 11.
Ha! That could be a good point...I am being swayed by those awesome sounds from the drummer. I will be fair and listen/watch again and pay attention to those other two guys. But truly this is an awesome and powerful song from any perspective!
Good thing they are only a trio. Its already too hard to distribute my praise and awe evenly among those three guys. :) Also, i like guthries overdriven sound much more here than on the album. Like the single note riff from 5:50 on, sound f**** badass but not too compressed.
+triggSerable i think that is because that's not his signature model and probably has a different pickups. And by the looks of Brian at 5:45 he likes it too
6 years late, hehe. But gotta say the Victory v30 he uses is kinda crazy sounding. Killer clean tones and jaw dropping distortion. Got one myself, and its perfect for every gengre
Did anyone else think Guthrie didn't play as well on that guitar? He's talked about hating full size Floyds before because of how they make his hand sit, that might be why.
@@ericaube4813 What I'm saying is that its way more than just a "tricky bit", its an absolute inhuman drum performance. Just pointing out how humble hes being.
Does anyone know why Guthrie is using the So Cal instead of his signature model for this song? In the beginning Marco mentions they hadn't been playing it live since they didn't have the right guitar. Wondering what the So Cal brings to this song what his souped up signature couldn't. Double locking floyd for the vibrato work perhaps?
It's tuned to drop D. If he wanted to play it and still use the floating bridge on his signature he would have to tune all of the strings multiple times.
honestly... he has really bad form when playing the guitar - he will most likely have hand problems when he is older playing like that... - its like programmers who have bad poster - kind of a crude example but if you do something with bad form over years it will have bad effects.
That's how he learned...don't think so...my opinion only cause I don't play like everyone else either & it's not causing me any problems after 32 years!!!!
