More quotes by John Petrucci
With all tools at my disposal, I'm 100% into chasing tone and checking out new equipment and geeking out during sound check by taking too much time.
John Petrucci
When we make those guitars we make tons of prototypes, I have all those. And once a guitar has come out there's all different versions and colours and woods and I have all those. There's hundreds of them.
John Petrucci
Songs like Spirit Carries On really gets the audience moved and on the same page. It's challenging and all so much fun to play.
John Petrucci
We have a storage close by where I live, that's very organised. My guitar tech, Matty organised it all, labeled everything.
John Petrucci
It's hard to answer that from my own perspective because when I'm playing I know where it is coming from and the sources.
John Petrucci
I experimented a bunch with Ernie Ball in getting the strings to not flop around too much, but at the same time not to be too thick to where you're playing telephone cables.
John Petrucci
Many kids and parents ask me, 'What kind of guitar can I buy?' It's a great opportunity for those people to be able to buy a quality guitar that's not necessarily a little Fender or whatever. Ernie Ball signature model guitar is something that's more signature.
John Petrucci
It's probably no coincidence with the internet and social media and the word being able to spread beyond the radio, where fans can go and talk and congregate and trade stories and a band could communicate news very quickly and in a worldwide basis. I'm sure that's helped in bringing in this case us to more of the forefront of peoples attention.

I went straight out of high school, and when I was 17, all I wanted to do was play guitar.
John Petrucci
I think I'm a father, but a father of three kids! :)
John Petrucci
Usually we're all comfortable playing the songs, but during the song there might be one part where you're like „oh, this part's coming up, I have to really focus, a lot of songs have those moments in them.
John Petrucci
The style of music that we're playing, this progressive metal style, has always been an upstream battle for us. We don't usually get a lot of commercial exposure.
John Petrucci
You try to play the song better than you had before.
John Petrucci
You're about to walk on stage and play together for the next few hours so you want to feel connected and make sure that everyone is in the same head space a good head space.
John Petrucci
Songs come alive every night and can be a new experience for someone. You might have someone in the audience who has never seen us before and hearing it for the first time. We are aware of that.
John Petrucci
As far as bands doing that in a way where they think they're going to fight the government, the only people they're really hurting is the fans.
John Petrucci
Even with Dream Theater, we track in a big studio and everything. But when it comes to doing leads, I don't really require a lot of studio to do that. I need a good sounding room and a Pro Tools rig, and some Neve mic-pres, and I'm good.
John Petrucci
First and foremost, with everybody we wanted to see if they can pull off the songs, play them correctly, and that they it felt right musically. That's something Mike [Mangini] did, it felt like the band. He really gets the style and delivers in a powerful metal way.
John Petrucci
I'm from the school of putting a lot of hours of practice into playing. But at the same time you have to write original music - that's really important, because that's the things that's going to separate you from everybody else, that's going to give you your unique voice as a music that you create.
John Petrucci
My main objective with a home studio - I could get into doing full band demos - but my first objective is to cut things like guitar tracks and solos at home.
John Petrucci
