I figured we could have a dedicated thread for the band and its members' product releases. It feels like we're getting more of them over the years so maybe it's a big enough topic to deserve its own thread. It probably doesn't make sense for new album releases or anything that's going to command a massive response but maybe for everything else including ancillary products.

Here are a couple very recent ones:

NEW Jordan Rudess signature Strandberg guitar

John Petrucci's Guitar Universe 5.0 announced with various guests including Mike Portnoy

Those headphones looks nice, too bad I got some new ones only a few months ago. I might have ordered them otherwise. Reasonable price too.

it's just covers for their brand of headphones, you're not buying the full headphones for 40,- ;-)

The bundle comes with the covers and the actual headphones for $299.00.  I was asking about the headphones, if anyone knows.

You can easily desing whatever you like with AI or designer tool and print it.

I don't know how quality this thin plastic cover but whatever it is it's way too expensive. The thing is (I guess) to support the band. So it's your deal.

I don't know anyone who has Heavys but the reviews I've read on the internet were not bad.

Thanks!

I gather these claim to be designed to be ideal for listening to "heavy" music, rather than just be all-purpose good?

As I don't buy CDs or vinyl anymore (I mean to get a record *music* player this year) I went looking for the DT online EU/UK merch store to contribute fiscally to the machine.

3 designs of t shirt, basic IAW, Awake and PS cover art. Each priced at £40 + £4.60 postage.

By comparison, Maiden's latest shirts on their official site are £35 or £30 but most are at £25.

I didn't buy.

I'm somewhat intrigued by how it smells  :lol

I would have purchased the signature bourbon if it were more reasonably priced but I'll probably avoid the cologne for now.

Much like the Metallica one, I'd have given it a go if it was available and sensibly priced in the UK. I can't imagine either were much good, honestly, but yeah, I'd have thrown them a bit of cash.

The cologne/EDT/perfume/aftershave, however, I just imagine it smells like JP's sweaty armpit after a show. Not a smell I'd personally fancy rocking. Now if it infused me with 27% of his guitar playing ability, that'd be a different story.

Haven't watched the video or tried the cologne (I don't use cologne), but I use JP's beard oil.  I like it a lot.

This isn't a brand new interview but Guitar Interactive just posted its interview with JP at NAMM showing off two new beautiful configurations of JP's signature JP15 guitar

https://youtu.be/uMn1kH4dGPs?si=dKdoYCn-HaA82uPs

The two new JP15s are Toxic Sludge and Solar Flare. The Majesty model also got a few new finishes.

I wonder how many different JP guitars there are right now. Obviously, some would be out of production right now, but it'd be interesting to know the total.

They do look cool, but I stand by that the limited Purple Nebula Majesty is the best colour that they've done so far imo

Quote from: Evermind on March 30, 2025, 10:35:41 AMI'm gonna send 1) stuff that's too heavy 2) stuff that's too proggy 3) singers that sound like Freddie Mercury. Hope that sounds good.

Probably falls under one of the Majesty variants as there have been a million different color options and one offs for them.

I'd love to buy a JP15 at some point, but it's just so expensive and I struggle to find the time to play as much as I'd like. Then again, life is short... :biggrin:
