    yeah but to me these interviews are always a little bit... i'm not gonna say boring but just standard you know, they don't really talk about something that makes petrucci, or whatever the subject, personality stand out, for the lack of a better word; for example i would like he talked about gym, maybe about family, even music both as a wider concept, like facing some critics, history of music, and so on, and as his music, like delve into some of his songs, or for example i'd have question about his idea of guitar sound; last but not least a bit about internet culture, there are many guitar channels that you can quote and take inspiration from, or another question i'd like to ask: how are the previous album selling, stuff like that; in the end just make it more interesting, after having seen many personalities do this (but mainly craig ferguson) i bet this could be much more entertaining

    I can only think of a sentence from the movie "Troi" with Brad Pitt. At the end this monologue said: "If they ever tell my story, let them say I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Hector tamer of horses. Let them say, I lived in the time of Achilles." I can truly say: I lived in the time of Petrucci :-)

What strikes me so much is not so much that these guys are amazing musicians (oh, we know), but just how damn nice they are. Guitarists and bassists will certainly be inspired in their musical pursuits by them, but I just feel inspired to be a better, nicer person listening to them. Musical phenoms; wholesome af. Love it.

    Dream Theaters music is pretty much the same. The drums may be a bit different and the vibe they've been putting out is a bit more airy and uplifting than their previous stuff. I thought it wouldn't be the same neither when Portnoy left, but after listening to albums like A Dramatic Turn of Events and The Self Titled Album, DT haven't missed a step in the slightest. The only thing I've noticed is that the dark moody heaviness isn't there as much. That was a Portnoy thing, because he was always partial to the heavier stuff. Also, one of my favorite songs ever written by DT, Illumination Theory, was written with Mangini on drums.

    Living in. The studio for a year and LTE3 is still. Bigger let down than. Transatlantic. Let’s not even talk about distance over time. This next album better be good otherwise I’m done with dream theater. I didn’t think one album (DOT) could spoil my entire love for one band. The album is SOOO bad it’s obvious it was made and produced to please the fans who didn’t enjoy The Astonishing. What a load of garbage. Never have one band taken such a drop in standards.
