| | Dream Theater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Dream Theater was formed in 1985 by guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung and drummer Mike Portnoy while studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. | | | Petrucci takes issue with bootleggers because he prefers audience members to concentrate on the musicians on stage, and not the level adjustments on their recording device. | | | The whole band substantially reworked the music to that song, and it appeared on the album as "You Not Me" in a form that was barely reminiscent of the original. |

| | John: I think my playing is more diverse on this album. | | | We sat down with John on the eve of the release of this album to get his thoughts on the recording of this album for the Plugged In / Special Recording Issue. | | | With the release of the new Dream Theater album "Falling Into Infinity," John Petrucci has impressively come into his own as the leading proponenet of 90's progressive rock guitar. |

| | John tends to favor the Aeolian and Phrygian modes primarily, although there are examples of all modes in Dream Theater's music. | | | As good as John Petrucci is, his best riffs and solos indicate that he might be a much more interesting and effective player in a band with a simpler format and agenda. | | | For all of his extreme ability, John is, at heart, a metal style guitarist playing in a progressive band. |

| | Petrucci effortlessly switching from acoustic to electric, his fretboard precision, and his chosen notes during the improvisations are stunning. | | | The two performers - Jordan Rudess on acoustic piano for the entire album and John Pretrucci alternating between classical and electric guitar are two of the best in the business. | | | They sold quickly on John Petrucci's website, and the album was soon deemed "out of print." For those of you who had purchased an obscene number of copies (more than five) during its first printing, thanks freaks. |

| | Most of the tracks are performed by the trio of Petrucci, LaRue, and Dave Dicenso. | | | When John overdubs himself, it's like listening to California Guitar Trio or G3. | | | While solos from other guitarists typically sound like mind-numbing incantations adapted from mindless scribbles on a page, John's are nothing short of stupendous. |

| | Guitar Player - Great Balls and Fire |
| | Though his music school days are long behind him, Petrucci is a perpetual student of the guitar, and you can hear his endless wonderment towards the instrument in every riff on Suspended Animation [johnpetrucci.com], the instrumental rock tour de force that is his first solo album. | | | After all, it was being engulfed in a sea of talented musicians at Berklee where Petrucci formed the nucleus of Dream Theater, the most successful—and probably the most schooled—prog rock band on the scene today. | | | Citing as a big inspiration Alex Lifeson’s memorable open-string-based fill at the end of the guitar solo on the Rush instrumental “YYZ,” Petrucci shares a mesmerizing open-string lick of his own. |

| | KNAC.COM - Features - Caught In A Dream |
| | According to John Petrucci, who handles the axe duties for the band, attitude saves the band from the snooty tedium to which art-rock has too often drifted. | | | An FM or MTV hit ditty is clearly the furthest thing from the band's mind, as most of the songs on the disc one check in somewhere near the 10-minute mark. | | | The creative signatures and all-around musicianship once and for all cemented the band's credentials as a technical force to be reckoned with, but also saw the band thud at its balls-out rockin' best and the lyrics, weaving a flowing tale of mental imbalance, proved the band could tell a good story, too. |

| | John Petrucci Suspended Animation |
| | Petrucci, a guitarist credited for elevating the heavy metal band Dream Theater into the upper realm of modern groups, brings a melodic presence to hard core instrumentals by drawing on everything from Eddie Van Halen influences to his jazz education at the Berklee College Of Music. | | | It is, in fact, intriguing to contrast this album with 2004âs startlingly different An Evening with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess, a live multi-genre acoustic/electric date with the pianist (the opening is reminiscent of Chick Coreaâs âSpainâ). | | | John Petrucci avoids the land mines and delivers more depth than many listeners will likely appreciate on 2005âs Suspended Animation. |
