- TERMINAL VELOCITY ALBUM OUT NOW! - orcd.co/Termin...
Terminal Velocity marks the first solo album by John Petrucci to be released in 15 years, as well as, his first through The Orchard Music on his Sound Mind Music record label. The artwork was created by Sean M. Smith at Echo Designlab (Stone Sour, Hollywood Undead, In This Moment). Terminal Velocity was written and produced by John Petrucci, recorded by James ‘Jimmy T’ Meslin and mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Killswitch Engage, Arch Enemy).
The album sees the return of bassist Dave LaRue (Dixie Dregs, Flying Colors) who played on John’s debut solo album and subsequent G3 tours, as well as, an eagerly anticipated reunion with former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy (Transatlantic, Winery Dogs, Sons Of Apollo). “It was awesome bringing Dave back to play bass on this album. He is just such a monster player who can handle anything you throw at him with tastefulness and unmatched musicality. His melodic approach to bass lines along with impeccable technique and groove for days really stands out on these tunes.”
Portnoy’s appearance on Terminal Velocity marks the first recording of the guitarist and his former bandmate in over a decade and the first since Portnoy left the band in 2010. “Having Mike play drums on this record was really special for me and he did an absolutely incredible job navigating the various styles and technical challenges my music presented in the way that only he can do. It was very cathartic for the both of us, I think, to be playing music together again after all these years and it really felt great! Mike’s spirited, intuitive and energetic playing truly helped to elevate these new songs to a level that I couldn’t be happier with.”
In the beginning of March 2020 while the COVID-19 global pandemic was unrelentingly reeking it’s havoc on the world and especially NY, John started working on the music that would make up Terminal Velocity at the DT Headquarters on Long Island with engineer Jimmy T at the helm. “All DT touring for the rest of the year was either being cancelled or postponed and even though I had already planned on starting the project this Spring, I suddenly found myself with many unanticipated months at home. Jimmy T and I would head into the DTHQ 5 days week for about 2 and a half months and, as I wrote and constructed the new tunes, he was right there capturing it all and turning it into a record. Initially, he programmed drums and we shared bass playing responsibilities just to get the ideas to a place where they sounded like completed and cohesive songs but we always anticipating that ‘work in progress’ drums and bass would eventually be replaced.”
The 9 songs on Terminal Velocity showcase John’s affinity for writing tightly-weaved guitar instrumental powerhouses that feature everything from monster riff breaks to passion-filled melodic themes worthy of film soundtracks, to all-out shred extravaganzas that leave the listener feeling like they just stepped off of a thrilling musical roller coaster ride. “Much like the songs on my first solo album, Suspended Animation, I wanted the new tunes to really showcase what I’m all about as a player and to give an up-to-date depiction of where I am musically and how I like to express myself on the instrument. It’s about capturing the attitude of the performances and of course as always, very much about capturing the tone that I’ve worked so hard over the years to develop and refine.”
Although a few of the songs that make up Terminal Velocity were actually written quite a long time ago and even played live but never properly recorded, over half the album’s content is new music that John created while in the studio during the quarantine. “I believe that making this record when I did really helped me to maintain a sense of stability and normalcy during such a crazy time in our history.” “It was encouraging for me and my family to embrace something so hopeful and positive as we faced a very uncertain future in the music industry and in the world and for that, I am truly grateful for having music be such a big part of my life.”

Can we call this collab as "Pet Port"?
@@yuda160493 Only if Mister Pet Port Is called Dave. Mr. Dave Pet Port, at your service.
Ah, every song in this album is full of optimism.
besides the welcome optimism, Petrucci captured the soul of music for video games very well, this album is very beautiful ...
Couldnt agree more!!!!!!
I totally agree, man. He nailed it. Nowadays we need optimism a lot.
Agree... Instant fall in love with this album ♥
1:30 "I'm working my way back to you baaabe"
And suddenly everything feels right in the world again.
Yes indeed!
Portnoy isn't just music partner, he's Big Brother of him..
I dream they'd do something like LTE 3
It's going to happen. Rudess confirmed it. :)
@Ethernaut Not sure though how the scheduling would go as I have heard DT are also going back into the studio in the summers to record a new album which comes out in 2021. But yes LTE III is the real deal.
But if they do lte3 they better do it right and meet up in person to work out everything of each other, this album was done without jamming in person and it shows
MLGpachino MLGpachino a bit agreed. Maybe a bit OK mixing maybe. Just listening to kiko's album which is way better mixed sounds a bit better.
They heard you so it’s confirmed man 🤘🏻 I’m sure you already know it
Dear John Petrucci.
I can tell if it`s your song after 1:15. your solos are beyond anything I`ve ever listened to... they make me enter a new world, they enable me to fly and swim in the oceans of thought! please don`t stop! your songs are my drug! I`m 25 now I picked up the guitar 5 years ago because of your song "stream of consciousness" and have been listening to you talking through your guitar for 10 years! Thank You. a random guy from Far far Away...
I had heard Dream Theater in 2001 ...was a college going guy back then...till today I am fascinated by Mike John JM . It's early morning and I am listening to soothe my mind.
I am also from far far away as you. Keep playing . I have done his cover and working still . Good luck brother
@@asamhi7774 Glad there are drifters just like me out there ! luck to you !
awesome thoughts bro!!
right said,.....the only other guitarplayer who touches my soul,is the late Shawn Lane.
Perfeccion total yo tengo 32 y a los 14 años escuche fatal tragedy y no e parado de viajar cuando escucho sus discos ahora mejor que estan los 3 favoritos en este disco no puefo pedir nada mas hoy e llegado a sacar muchos de sus punteos pero no completos esque son una complejidad que aun no logro completar.espero dios me de vida para poder llegar a igualar la peefeccion de john.
What a fantastic record. The chemistry between you, Mike Portnoy, and Dave La Rue is magical.
Love it JP! Thank you!
Definitely true. Listen to them together clear things about the MP vs. MM debate. What DT fans miss is the natural way Portnoy matches JP stuff.
@@LucianoCallero I agree cause us old school DT fans know the sound and know well that when Portnoy and Petrucci play together, they bring out the best in each other. I think the last DT album was fantastic but yes as long as I get to hear JP and MP play together in any setting it will always feel like home.
The debate is absolutely ridiculous. Musical chemistry trumps everything else. Looking forward to more music from them, specially LTE III
@@thedefienthusiast I agree and this album feels like that old dt stuff with them together. I instantly smiled when i hear the tracks because it makes me happy to hear some of my fav players back together again.
@@D_sull93 I absolutely agree. This feels like Home. And I have been constantly replaying the tracks, something that I haven't done with a lot of Post 2009 material. This is wonderful. More Portnoy and Petrucci goodness needs to happen.
I was crying during whole play.. Too much joy and organic!
John Petrucci always finds the melody no matter however complex it gets.
And Joe Satriani too.
@@jagroes3347 Very true Jag.
Ah, finally
Music
Mike's drum sound is always fantastic!!
This I can certainly agree with.
yeah. mangini is agreat drummer too, but portnoy plus petrucci is magic !
Loving this optimistic sound, getting a little choked up... Man, the solo is crunchy, clean, articulate, badassedness in the midst of wonder. I'm blown away by Mike's drumming! Dave's playing is stellar. Can't wait to buy this.
Can't agree more about that solo...
i never understood this... why would you buy it if you're listening to the whole thing for free on youtube?
@@robo- maybe you are too young for undesrstand why i need to have it
@@robo- It really just depends on how much money you have man.
Keep in mind, this is music written and performed by a guy who is OVER 50! I have yet to hear even the slightest evidence that age is starting to slow him down.
2:49 i can feel it so sad😭
Sama
Nadanya kaya nada indonesia yah fam, familiar banget hahay
@@NdhankStinkyOfficial ini versi expertnya melodi di lagu ST12 🤣
@@ladymaria9529 hahahaha bisa aja ente 😁
Man JP can own a melody!!! Portnoy please more of this, outstanding drumming and musicianship.
After listening this album.
I knew it.
I need to practice more and more.
Sick album!! 🔥🔥
Every time I listen to John I realize I need to practice more 😊
Greeting from Nepal 🇳🇵🤘🤘🤘
Ahhhh... so that’s what drums sound like.
John Petrucci is Best Guitarist 🤘🖤🎸
LTE 3 is the best way to heal old DT fans......
4:33 - A slight jazz taste here
Santana :D
Mangini and Portnoy. I like them both! We are very happy to be able to hear those monster playing with John Petrucci. The life continues and Dream Theater too. I really like what John Petrucci can do. Thank you, John!
Rush "inspired" anyone? Loving it!
I feel it.
Yup, obviously
yes, totally 'rush'thetic
@Javier Villalobos for the first 30 sec I hear Red Barchetta with Portnoy rolling the toms like Neil Peart.
Wich song ?
Ballad of the guitarists.
That unmistakable Portnoy's power drive behind the kit.
This is the sound I fell in love with 15 years ago when I first discovered DT...John, you are the man! You and Portnoy were born to make music together, it works so well. I love it.
this song feels like someone who going for a long journey
Beast 😮
I wondered how John could have less than 50K subs on UA-cam but then I came to realize he's been on UA-cam for only 2 months now.
Let's get him to 1 mil and more views guys.
From the song called "another day" and "spirit carries on" am started playing guitar back in 6 years ago...thank dream theatre and John Petrucci
Beautiful Italian sounding Melodies PaisanO!
Fuuuuccccckkkkk i love u guys man 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Playing again with Portnoy??!!! I think I’m gonna cry..
Drumming? Just Mike Portnoy's thing.
Yeap, master portnoy arrived
yes, he is.
And they say MP is overrated.
Professional drummer.
@@Lance37a must diferent of Mangine. Very more atack and attitudies.
Close your eyes... Keep listening you will feel like youve watching a movie.
That there is a coming hero to save and fight and protect you haha
It’s as though JP and MP haven’t skipped a beat playing together, despite 10 years apart the musical chemistry is still as good as ever
Maestro Petrucci show his strognary skills
Now I can die happy....
killer song so fukin happy to hear Portnoy drumming
At 4:20 into this song, this was an instrumental during the ‘94-‘95 Awake tour In between “Lifting Shadows Off a Dream” and “A Crack in the Mirror/The Mirror.”
Exactly, love it!
yeess i thought same, the jazzy fusion petrucci 90's is back! 😭
I'm sure everyone else was as hyped as i was when they heard about the Petrucci-Portnoy colab. In my opinion, Dream Duo!
Mind blown from this album🤘🤘🤘
my heart is glad to know that we have john petrucci with these fantastic compositions that fill our lives and dreams, there are no limits for john and his guitar, we love you john
Got that Wishful Thinking continuation vibe... 🔥🎶🎶🔥
Exactly
Oh wishful thinking has so much emotion..
I really want JP to play fusion style again like he did in Liquid Tension
and then 4:36 happens...
Thank You Sir John Petrucci..
Everyday listend this song.. wooow.. make me happy with john and mike.... thanks john.. amazing album.. goodjob..
JP+MP= perfection
Mike portnoy sensacional... porra!
Anyone the middle section another Rock Discipline/Awake tour improv vibes??
It's so 90s Petrucci that i've missed for a while, freaking love it! 💖
Reminds me The best of times...the beginning,
5:48 6:05 has got that Dave Larue & Steve Morse vibe!
And what a display of talent by all three musicians on this track.
Oooof
Anyone else getting the feeling that Portnoy was getting tired of trying to create the most complex music and just wants to jam?
Well.. it applies to petrucci too i guess
They didnt focus on storytelling and song structure this time.. all out shredding and technicall showoff , acrobacy stuff.
Felt that too.
Good Petrucci😍😎👍🤘🔥
JP knows what the world needs in 2020. Happy, feel-good album...
Especially this and happy song which sounds like 90's sitcoms theme songs :)
Refreshing to hear what can be accomplished with just guitar, bass, and drums.
Great job JP!
Petrucci is magic it's self. Your finger heal me. Thank you, John. Thank you very much.
It required the presence of my girlfriend to finally make the penny drop what this reminds me of. "Is this the Beverly Hills 90210 Theme?" 😆 LOVE the album start to finish!!!!! Energetic, creative, just good music from my heroes!
Barstool Warrior guitar interludes are also very reminiscent of the 90210 theme, haha
Sure it was your girlfriend - spill it bro, Team Brandon or Team Dylan?
I came specifically to write that!!! Lol funny i found your comment. Btw lov the album
@@BadgerNCarolina I would admit it unashamedly, but BH90210 went completely past me. If at all I was more of a Parker Lewis kid 🤣
@@stringfinity lol nice. I like parker lewis too, partially because i loved billy jacoby from Just one of the guys ;)
Unreal... lol I’ve thought that on literally every song so far but I figured I’d take a second and actually comment it... 😅 Godly Mr. Petrucci!
Yeah!!!!
Absolutely delicious 🎉🎉❤❤ Haagen Dazs for the ears!!!!❤
I Can`t stop listening
This song makes me think of how high the emotions were in Dream Theater before Portnoy left. It's the way it fell. People fall apart but that shouldn't keep them from coming back together to make something beautiful.
Thank you, John.
this is among the best i heared from john, he has written his soul in this record,.........waaw ....
Yes, I'm making another comment. Portnoy and LaRue are also amazing musicians. WHAT A POWER TRIO!!!!!
This song gives me wings 😇
Andy Sneap 🤘😎
Did he mix this record ?
Damn!!!!!!
No hay otro mejor complemento para John Petrucci que Mike Portnoy. Nacieron para hacer música juntos. Maestros de maestros.
No podría estar más de acuerdo... esta canción....por lejos me llega más al alma que todo lo hecho con mangini.....
John your tone is Unparalleled. Crunch riffs or solo, everything is so incredibly clean and clear. I'm in awe. Would love to hear what you used in the studio to achieve this.
In two words, Mesa Boogie
Petrucci captured the soul of video game music very well, this album is very beautiful ...
wow, last christmas chord progression sounds very good in this song!)
This is probably the best song I've heard from the Petrucci/Portnoy combo in years. There is love here.
Thank you John Petrucci !
John’s music is gold and the chemistry with Mike and Dave is magical! Incredible!
This should be a Dream Theater's song
I was thinking the same thing. It would seem natural to all of a sudden hear James start singing.
It's amazing to see how positive the comment section is!!
I'm quite disappointed not to see anyone question anything at all about this "perfection". Just aspiring guitarists wishing they could move their fingers that well saying ain't he great. In reality, technically great guitarist, poor "composition" - really just a pastiche of bits and pieces strung together which made no sense at all as a piece of music. For the few of the commenters who have girlfriends, you won't find many of them whistling this tune in the shower... The Achilles heel of so many of these modern day virtuosos is that they can't compose to save their lives...
@@akimbo139 My bad, I guess..
Akimbo 1 its not meant to be that kind of song. This album isn’t about catchy hit songs, it’s for the fans but more importantly JP himself. He’s just having fun playing solos and going off.
The solo of Petrucci's and the riff of dream theatre. Blown away!!!
wow
i like this very much
The Master Has AWAKEN!
မြန်မာသီချင်းလေး တစ်ပုဒ်နားထောင်နေရသလိုပဲ.... ❤❤❤ love you JP...you are the best
The Petrucci+Portnoy tandem is unbeatable...music at his highest limits
The drums sounds wide, amazing.
what a beautiful feeling in this song which is simply i can't explain ❤️❤️🥲🥲🥲
This is a perfect melodic guitar theme
The ending is ultragenious💣💥💫
4:14 Possibly the most tasty Solo he's ever written
I saw the video with you at Mesa Boogie those same guys worked on my Mark 3 Blue stripe. Great bunch of guys in Petaluma. Lucky for me they are an hour and 1/2 from my house.
Mr john petrucci my inspirations always
LaRue is killing it 🔥
You saved some special 80's feeling in this tunes. Thank you for that
Thanks for the Free Listen
@5:54 little drum pattern from Fatal Tragedy. Fun fact - Portnoy tends to play a sticking where he alternates between the left and right hands to play the snare through that pattern.
That latin rhythm from 4:15 sounds so Kiko Loureiro-Angra style, awesome!!!
That's what I thought my first listen.
That section was derived from an Instrumental Jam Dream Theater used during the 1994-1995 Awake Tour. If you have the bootleg “Wake Up” it was titled “Instrumental Jam” and was in between “Lifting Shadows Off A Dream” and “The Mirror.” It’s not necessarily “new material” BUT it is nice to hear it in a composed song format. In fact, this is the VINTAGE JOHN PETRUCCI that fans have been wanting to hear with a touch of his modern playing.
I love John!
I love every Song!!!!!
Your new solo album is outstanding 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
nunca nos decepcionas querido john!
This is unbeliveable chemistry. Amazing trio..
To kill COVID, The world need Liquid Tension Experiment Episode 3!
I think Rudess announced it will happen.
We really need LTE 3🤘🤘
I agree
Yesssss
Totally!!
The best guitar player.
Definitivamente, Mike, Dave y John hace un excelente trío, se entienden a la perfección, me recuerda mucho a la época del G3, Es increíble, espero pronto vuelva un Liquid Tension Experiment 3, sería brutal
se te hizo raalidad man!
