Haven't heard this one before:
I wonder if JP can even play this at his current age.

Probably not. Gilbert, for example, can’t play some of his fastest stuff anymore. Vai, too.
That old Racer X stuff?
Yes , I don’t think there is a SINGLE fastest solo, as I’ve heard all of the greats reach the same limits of speed - But as d said, there is no way, no how any more ridiculously gratuitous display of speed than nitro. Angelo is probably as fast/faster than JP, Lane , and maybe impelliterri but for consistently ridiculous amounts of endless barbaric speed picking, string skipping, sweep picking, and a little bit of tapping, it doesn’t get any faster than Nitro albums - but honestly it sounds a lot like JPs Rock DiscipliNE video where he does the chromatic and excercise at like 210bpmAnything off the Nitro album with Michael Angelo is about as fast as anyone would want to go.
Buckethead doesn't have as deep a repetoire as Petrucci, and most of his fast licks are hammer-on/pull-offs. He's got incredibly fast fingers, but Petrucci can do all that, plus sweeps, crazy string skipping, super fast alt picking (eg Paradigm Shift), along with solos of all types of different scales/modes. I don't nearly as much diversity in BH's stuff.Buckethead as well. This particular solo reminds me of some of Buckethead's stuff. Too bad it's not on the record. It's a rather mellow song there.
Another guy that I think fits that mold, who is INCREDIBLY FUCKING FAST, is Jason Richardson. But to my ears, his music literally sucks..... but I def think Angelo was just a technician , not a composer whatsoever
