DREAM THEATER's John Petrucci On New Solo CD - "I Hope To Finish Writing The Material And Get To Recording Next Year"
Posted on Thursday, December 10, 2009 at 10:18:01 EST
I Heart Guitar Blog's Peter Hodgson has issue a new interview with DREAM THEATER's John Petrucci, in which he confirms that he's started work on his next solo CD.

The following is an excerpt: Q: So what’s next after this tour? Are you gonna do another solo album soon? A: "You know, a lot of people ask me about that, and I did start to write, finally! I got the bug, I got bit by it, I started to write this music and I’ve been in a nice writing flow. So I hope to finish writing the material and get to record next year. So I’m psyched about that."

Q: Any idea where it’s heading yet? A: "Yeah, I have a total idea where it’s heading. I don’t like to really talk about it but I think by now people kinda know my style and what I do, and hopefully it’ll be more of that!"

YES YES YES YES.

I would have given up new LaBrie, Jelly Jam, and Rudess all for a new JP CD without question. Now I can has them all.

Actually, that will be the album title.

Excellent news, I can't wait.

Btw, I'm wondering... will it also be all-instrumental, or maybe JP will try doing some vocals this time? This could be interesting

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 11, 2009, 05:10:15 PM »

He should stick to his strengths.

Darkes7 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 11, 2009, 05:25:14 PM »

I'm pretty sure at least the majority of the album will be instrumental, but I'd really like a song or two with vocals. The main problem with the song he sang with DT is that the lead vocals were pretty difficult for him as they were, but since this time he's writing all the songs, he's able to write something that fits his abilities and vocal range well.

I can't decide between that or When Bears Attack

xeper · « **Reply #25 on:** December 11, 2009, 08:58:24 PM »

Petrucci seems like a friendly interviewee. A lot of guys wouldn't have bothered to engage in actual conversation (asking what kind of guitar interviewer had, etc). Always nice to see.
Also, new solo album=YES PLEASE.

Shame on you, friend! Of course, if it is better than Suspended Animation, then I'm gonna need a change of pants. In fact, that should be the name of the album "A Change of Pants"

Just when I was starting to think that I agree with you a lot, you blew it!

Can't wait for this! I'll leave it at that.

It really does seem like I'm the only person who doesn't think SA is amazing. I mean, it's not bad or anything, it's always just struck me as a really bog standard solo guitar album. Never understood the obsession over it.

I agree with you. That sort of purely guitar oriented music never really did anything for me. Yeah it sounds pretty complex, but I just don't really enjoy it. There is only so much you can do with non-stop guitar licks and effects.

Me neither. I'm not really interested in pure instrumental music (LTE and such) at all.

I felt the same on first listen, but after a few listens I really loved it. At first it feels a bit empty compared to LTE with the lack of keys, but now that doesn't bother me at all.

It's not just the lack of keys, it's the lack of variety of ideas for me.
