More quotes by 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
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
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
The only thing I had in my mind [when I was 17 ] was that I was going to be a professional musician. So it was just the right environment.
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
Stay focused when you're playing alive, so you're not distracted by something going on.
John Petrucci
Obviously [Black] Sabbath is definitely a huge name and of course deserving with Ozzy coming back.

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.
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've been fortunate to work with companies that I endorse because I love their gear. Whether Music Man, Dunlop, or DiMarizo to me these companies have supported me in such a way that's invaluable.
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
I've always said that there's a huge progressive rock, progressive metal audience out there, in the world.
John Petrucci
Almost 15 with music, we have so many guitars that we developed over the years. The latest one is 'The Majesty' guitar, which I'm really proud of.
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
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
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
I went straight out of high school, and when I was 17, all I wanted to do was play guitar.
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
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.
