Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Grammy.com: As Dream Theater make more albums and keep getting more complex, will your hands eventually fall off in concert?
JP: I really hope not. [laughs] That would be horrible.

I love JP.

I'm surprised that question came from someone at GRAMMY.com.

Fantastic interview, by the way.  :tup

I'm surprised he didn't mention BTS, since Along For the Ride is a sequel to it

He really is. I mean, even as a person, you have this feeling he has this very personal and deep approach to whatever he's doing. As a musician, oh well, his guitar speaks for him.
This story ends where it began.

I love his response to one of the first questions, the one about how fans are concerned that the music is more catchy. His example about musical mentally when it comes guitar players being technical or playing with feeling is exactly how I feel.

I whish more people were like Petrucci. He seems so respectful, genuine, intelligent,humble and has a great sense of humor. At the same time he is one of the greatest guitarists that has walked on this earth. He is a treasure!

This, plus the fact that sometimes it can be hard to introduce friends to this band because of their reputation for being guys that can play really well - which clearly means they don't know how to write great pieces of music.  ::)
