    I totally agree. This man is the first who comes in mind when I hear the word "guitar" or "best guitarist" You just cant go wrong being a fan of his work. He is a prodigy. I believe he is the best both musicaly and technicaly. He plays ridiculously clean. You can hear each note perfectly even amongst a chaos of notes playing faster than light.

    @@Stoirelius I don’t think that’s how he thinks about it. I just think he’s an older man, the rigors of touring are probably more physically draining these days, and the ability to flawlessly pull off technically demanding material like SX’s solos requires disciplined regular maintenance while Romeo in his 50s has perhaps found himself less motivated to practice shred guitar technique for 3hrs+ every day. Or maybe he was sick, I don’t know. But I don’t think he’s just banking on an un discerning audience - prog fans are hypercritical nerds + his tour mates are watching too - you think he doesn’t care if Petrucci sees him slipping? He definitely does. Anyway, videos from the past ~2 years show a return to form - he’s been playing extremely demanding material from his solo records and performing live recently with SX, and sounding much better than a lot of clips from like 2016-2017
