John Petrucci

[Blackhorse_Experience]

So I'm in Best Buy today and I ran into John Petrucci. First time I've ever met someone like that besides at a concert. It was pretty cool.

My friend would have asked to rub one out for him.

 

[S<issors]

Pretty cool.

 

[Alex78]

did you talk to him?

 

[Towedwart]

Did you physically into him? Was he mad about that?

Yesterday I met myself. Since when is Petrucci a celebrity? So many idolizers...

Not quite buddy. I don't even like Dream Theater. I just know that there are some fans on this forum and they might find it interesting.

And yes, I did talk to him for a couple minutes. I don't really know their music so it was brief. He was a pretty friendly guy.

Petrucci needs to make a black metal album.

 

[Alex78]

Petrucci's solo album owns.

 

[biggsy]

so do his instructional dvds...

*pulls out incredibly difficult solo*... "see? easy!"

 

[Alex78]

cool, gotta check out those DVDs...

I wish he would just leave DT and continue on his own

I agree.... It's nice to see Dave LaRue showing up on all of these different projects!

 

[Pavelent]

Petrucci's solo album owns.

Agreed! Petrucci is definitely my favorite guitarist...I wish I could have met him

 

[all_sins_undone]

his solo album is a disgrace

 

[LightningLixxx]

I probably would've asked him if he's ever seen his "Phycho Exercises" on youtube.

 

[Tubbs]

Hmm. John Petrucci is pretty cool, I suppose.

Of course, lots of people on this forum think Dream Theater suck (including me except for maybe 2 or 3 albums) and I've never heard his solo stuff so I don't know what to say about that. Psycho exercises was hilarious, especially the later ones (I think?). Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[soundave]

Those videos are great!

it's one of the best instrumental albums I have ever heard. sure it's guitar wankery, but if you're into that kind of stuff, then this is the only album you need. screw Malmsteen, Becker, Vai,..... (imo)
