In Japan they're definitely more over the top. They had four Boogie stacks and 20 guitars. But otherwise it's pretty much the same thing, except there's a translator. It's really nice.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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
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
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
We're always in that head space about the audience and less about us at that moment.
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
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
Obviously [Black] Sabbath is definitely a huge name and of course deserving with Ozzy coming back.
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
You try to play the song better than you had before.
John Petrucci
I have a lot of guitars. Yeah, I'm not like a guitar collector, I don't have all vintage instruments. I don't even own a Strat or Les Paul. I don't have one.
John Petrucci
When we came out, the kind of music that was popular was Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains, all that stuff. That was when we released our second album, 'Images And Words', and it was something people werent used to hearing maybe, and it sort of rose above all that somehow, being progressive, or whatever.
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
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
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.
John Petrucci
I've always said that there's a huge progressive rock, progressive metal audience out there, in the world.
