    Fair question - I think they're interesting from a technical perspective (chops, tightness, super hero virtuosity, etc.) but I could never get into the singer or the overall aesthetic of their songs. Amazing players for sure though.

    It is always a pleasure to watch a John Petrucci interview, whether he is talking about music, being a salesman or (usually) both. In a world full of bravado, it is wonderful to listen to such a soft spoken, down to earth individual who is also a fantastic musician and song writer. Refreshing.
