[cellaby]

Don't cross the crooked step :P

[thehuntz1]

Holy crap myung's arms were jacked back in the day.

[Googopqp]

The one dislike is Beiber when Petrucci mentioned they focus on the music and not becoming giant stars who do drugs.

Great interview, one of my favorite guitarists from a band I really look up to musically!

[DragonMasterXZ]

best instrumental album EVER. SUSPENDED ANIMATION.take a look man and see.

[FooFly089]

[DrummerRF]

Another solo album. WHOOOW FIRST TIME I HEARD! CANT WAIT!

[skifarterufa]

What song is at 8:13??

[HelloFade2]

What I love about Dream Theater is all the songs are like 5 songs (or more) in 1.

[Ttappoz]

What a humble person. He deserves my admiration.

[DylanGuitar148]

"We have some issues all around the world with aids..." Turn your subtitles on and go to 2:34 to see it! hahaha....?

[Microcurseex]

The first song is A Nightmare to Remember, of course!

in Madrid DT played one of my fav Rush songs: By tor and snowdog cover....in scenes from a memory tour..... was a great moment for me. thx John P. and thx DTheater... greetings from madrid -spain.

[Mapon123]

LOL omg!!! If he did an acoustic gypsy album... i would die. right after i buy it. :P

[fox84M]

He got a lot bigger the last few years. he could squish your head with his muscles lol.

[rasmus91]

at 1:32 the editor of the vid used the remixed version of Pull Me Under from greatest hit instead of Images & Words! FAIL!!

[rasmus91]

Dont cross the crooked step!! :O

[nubesnegras10]

I love you John........

[tsabszy]

i love DT.. i love all their music, but why they can't make a good video clip?

[jeserty6]

Dream Theater is the band of GOD!

[JRTET21]

Thanks for the interview man, good to hear from this great and humble guitar hero :D

[zeppelin8]

What is the song at the beginning? And at 0:24?

[Imbainte]

A Nightmare to Remember and.. um.. A Nightmare to Remember ;)

[necroyoli08]

oh my god, calculating how much time he spends working out at the gym, he must listen music for like what ?, 34 hours a day

[Viterkim]

what song is 3:27?

[JmC85]

Glasgow Kiss. You can find it at John Petrucci solo album Suspended Animation.

[santyrush]

@Viterkim  glasgow kiss solo petrucci album.

[jhop5150]

I've never heard Petrucci say something negative.

[berserk409]

@jhop5150 haha so true

[RLuteran]

and a very modest guitar player. He thinks he sucks compared to other guys....

[necroyoli08]

thats because he is professional, talented, and a gentleman

[broken588]

YOU DA MAN!!!!

[FluidDelusions]

Petrucci>you.

[raizenron]

my hero

[GalloPinz]

You can find it at the Uncovered official bootleg

[portnoy2045]

[guitarDouchebaggery]

Fantastic interview! One of the best JP interviews in a long time

[fragilestring]

Thanks for the interview. Thanks for Petrucci. Amen

[Rickyzinho]

Really great great interview ;) ...and John.. What a legend.

[MuvoTX]

3:14 "This is what happens when the drummer spits. This has nothing to do with sound isolation or acoustics."...

JP=pure genius!!

[3074861]

John Petrucci is officially a Jesus-Bear.

[crystalthedrummer]

he's soo humble !! john is the best :D !

[D3m0nhunter719]

I'm black.

[harmony0404]

"Hi, everybody. This is John Petrucci."

Oh, REALLY???!!! LOL

He is soooo cute.

[harmony0404]

I'm a girl. But what's a problem? What would change if I were a boy? JP'd become ugly or what? I don't think so. JP is talanted and CUTE any way. No matter his fans are male or female.

[Jed9133]

ok thats fine your a girl,JP is great guitarist but for a boy to call him cute that is surely gay...

[Socioistic]

@harmony0404

Agreed. I think he's just pure sexy. The fact that he's so wholesome, and humble, but just buff, and good looking enough to make him (hopefully) a big burly bear under those tight shirts makes me like him more. I just love all of the guys. I think they would be the best friends to have, because they seem so down to earth; they have families, and go out and have nice, decent fun, but still maintain rock & roll lives.

[hammondplayer91]

Good interview...I recently tried to watch the one from some guys in Norway. But you cannot listen to that any longer...this one is better...

clear questions, clear answers...Petrucci has to be the protagonist of the interview...

[cjbullet]

John Petrucci is better then the best!!!!!!!!

[XXxXxXXCLOUDXXxXxXX]

cant believe ive seen him and the guys play, BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE! and another solo album would be fantastically awesome

[blackngold29]

Great interview, Fantastic editing job as CrookedStep always does!

[JohnPetrucci251]

omg another solo album...fuck YES!

[BettchersGuitar]

John petrucci is the man. no wait, I take that back. He's the man's boss

[Stevomyungbassfreak]

He is HUGE now!!!!!!!!

[albertmetal93]

Nice!!. Gracias por subirla!!

[ferv0r]

Great interview, Petrucci is a God.

[Runt2]

Great thanks for the subtitles. They skipped Detroit this year I hope they remember us next year!!

[djxarisma]

Shame,at 4.43 at the backround sound of this video there is not James LaBrie(Wither)

[JmC85]

It's John Petrucci singing on the demo of the song.

[kerplunk89]

what is the song @ 2:14 - 2:48?

[JmC85]

Fan Club CD "A Sort of Homecoming".

Song: John Petrucci Guitar Spot

[fallingthroughpages]

Speak To Me. (It's off the falling into infinity demos)

[flamingstick]

Umm.. Dream Theater is better than Metallica. And any other band on earth for that matter, Too much talent for the human mind to comprehend.

[NosferatuOfWorms]

That's why only gods listen to Dream Theater, everyone else watches from a distance.

[ironwolg]

i actually say DT and MetallicA are tied for me haha DT is more talented yes but i really like MetallicA's music so it all evens out for me

[thissignupisannoying]

Around 6:47, which song and project is that?

[LHondrums]

that definately was "since i've been loving you" by led zeppelin. maybe they did a cover album of a led zep record? like they did with pink floyd? cause it sounded like james labrie singing... or maybe this is taken from one of the 1000 live bootlegs and they cover it live on that one who knows..

[JmC85]

Yeah. It's a cover from the Official Bootleg "Uncovered 2003-2005"

[suchass]

lol little john myung and petrucci at 2:20

[eviltree997]

he's like a bear hes so muscular

[Heinzerdaust]

That's because he is a bear.

[eviltree997]

true stroy

[masteropuppetz66]

now all there needs to be is a DT, Opeth and Metallica concert... YOOT!

[WarMaggot]

There was a DT/Opeth/BTBAM/Three concert last year I believe. It was the Progressive Nation tour. I went and saw them in Oakland, pretty fuckin amazing.

[Raiderfan123]

I saw them too, 3 was fucking amazing. But the Metropolis encore was great. Loved it.

[masteropuppetz66]

oh i know... i saw it at Universal Studios (gibson theater) in LA last year too... it was awesome!

[captivehonour16]

Dream Theater and Opeth=win

[MrMetalbarD]

awesome JP Rules :D

[agbjhw]

Awesome interview.
