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.

More quotes by John Petrucci
I have to say that our fans have been absolutely wonderful all across the world.
John Petrucci
I've always said that there's a huge progressive rock, progressive metal audience out there, in the world.
John Petrucci
Real thick strings - your hands start to get fatigued. As much as you practice, and as much experience as you have, and as long as you've been playing, there is a fatigue point during the show, as with anything that's physical. So I wanted to basically pace myself better.
John Petrucci
Personality wise, we are all kindred spirits. I've said this before if we [with Mike Mangini ] ever went to high school together we would have been friends. He is just one of us! We felt that immediate connect.
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
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
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
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
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
To be in Boston, which is a great city and which is full of many colleges and young kids, and to be around that many people that were at the same point in their lives, who played guitar or whatever instrument - it was just perfect. It was a great environment.
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
Guitar players get inward and analytical about their playing but when you start to get positive feedback from other players it makes you think that it is coming together.
John Petrucci
I'm realizing this more and more that it's one thing to get involved with your own political beliefs and stand behind you believe in personally.
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
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
Out of Berklee Dream Theater was born and we've been together ever since. I didn't have to taste that feeling of defeat.
John Petrucci
I didn't try out for bands when I was younger. I got into guitars intensely a couple of years into playing so much by the time I was graduating high school I was accepted into Berklee College of Music.
John Petrucci
Sometimes I'll hear a certain approach that kinda cathes my ear, like „It's kinda cool what that guy's doing there, or maybe an effect that somebody's using, or a guitar sound, or something that kinda makes me open up. But the funny thing is i realise over time how sort of traditional i am.
John Petrucci
I went straight out of high school, and when I was 17, all I wanted to do was play guitar.
John Petrucci
Jordan Ruddes does [have a home studio], but it's all self-contained. I'll be the only guy with a fully built recording studio. So they'll have to come to me.
