Petrucci is our greatest living lead guitar player, in my humble opinion. There's Vai, there's Satriani, there's Malmsteen, there's Paul Gilbert, yes, there's so many...but Petrucci to me is the most consistently clean and accurate live, no matter how complex the part is, and he's also got - in my opinion - the most soul behind his playing of all the current virtuosic players. His ability is off the charts, but he always serves the song. He does his tricks and his speed picking, but it always feels like it has heart and soul and isn't just playing mechanically.

Absolutely astounding the musicianship on display in that video. That video also features their original drummer, Mike Portnoy. Mike Mangini is a very techinally perfect drummer, but I feel that Portnoy is a bit better. That is an argument that many a Dream Theater fan has had with another Dream Theater fan....lol.

The song was written by the previous drummer of the band Mike Portnoy, he was dealing with severe drug and alcohol abuse until he decided to enter into the 12 Step program which he credits for helping him stay sober. This song is actually the final part of his project the 12 Step Suite, a series of songs that explore these issues and how he came to terms with them. If you're curious, the other songs in the 12 Step Suite are The Glass Prison, This Dying Soul, The Root of All Evil, Repentance and then finally The Shattered Fortress. There's also The Mirror which acts as a prequel of sorts to the 12 Step Suite since he wrote it before getting sober, but acknowledged these issues he was having. Also, in case you were wondering, despite there being 5 songs, each song is divided into multiple steps, which when added together are 12, hence the title. The song you listened to I think resonates more strongly when you listen to every track, because then you realize that the songs have leitmotifs directly referencing each other.

He was able to go to AA where he learned about a 12 step program rehabilitation.

Song: This Dying Soul: IV. Reflections of Reality (Revisited) V. Release 3. Song: The Root of all Evil: VI. Ready VII. Remove 4. Song: Repentance VIII. Regret IX. Restitution 5.

The lyrics on this songs cannot be understood on its own. The lyrics are from Dream Theaters former drummer Mike Portnoy, who used to be an alcoholic but managed to get sober through AA. So there are multiple songs in DTs catalog that deal with his alcohol addiction and how he managed to beat it and they are all tried together lyrically und musical even though they are on different albums (Starting with Six-Degrees of Inner Turbulence). And this is one of them, so that is also why it has so many different parts, because it references earlier songs.

Metal is actually rarely negative, and usually has some of the deepest most philosophical messages you'll hear in music. The stereotype that it's usually hate-filled stems from religious fundamentalism and WASP culture looking for something to demonize during the height of it's popularity, judging it by screaming, how angry it sounds and how popular it was with the youth. I won't say metal about hatred, Satan and darkness doesn't exist, because it absolutely does, but there are also bands that live up to metal stereotypes that exist solely to spite those that hate the genre for those reasons alone.

I didn't think Portnoy's parts could be overplayed but Mangini sure seems to do that a lot

I'm sure someone already mentioned, but this song is about Mike Portnoy's (former drummer's) battle with alcoholism. The lyrics are based on the twelve step program. However, when you mentioned all the changes, you should know that this song includes several riffs from the predecessors which began this story (this is the conclusion of a five part rock opera that has spanned several albums) such as the "Glass Prison" where this all started, "this dying soul," "the root of all evil," "repentance," and finally, "the shattered fortress." I did see one commenter mention that this is nothing compared to what John is capable of, and that commenter is absolutely right. This is very straight forward compared to his capabilities. Listen to "Take the Time" and "Illumination Theory." Good reaction, but recommend you do your homework before doing a video. At least know the names... James LaBrie - vocals, John Myung - bass, Jordan "the wizard" Ruddess - keys and synth, John Petrucci - guitars, and Mike Mangini - percussion. However, DT's founding drummer was Mike Portnoy, and anything he does is worth a whirl. Nice job, mate

Dudes first mistake is this is not a metal band ! Lyricals alone are spiritual in nature and thematically about redemption and growth thru the human experience. Life and all of it's ups and downs.....
