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.

More quotes by John Petrucci
Stay focused when you're playing alive, so you're not distracted by something going on.
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
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
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
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
You try to play the song better than you had before.
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
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
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
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
I started playing guitar when I was 12, and I started getting into more metal, like Maiden and Metallica... Of course, as I kind of got better and better in the guitar, I was listening to more guitar players, so then I got into, I guess, more of the prog side.
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
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
Going to the Grammys, being nominated for a Grammy, that was a really big deal for me, for us as a band.
John Petrucci
I think I'm a father, but a father of three kids! :)
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
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
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
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.
