“Oh dream theater is your fav too? Yea the guitarist, ya know, JOHN PETRUCCI, yea that’s my uncle. I know him very well”

[@RoadrunnerrecordsCoUk]

Two legends!

[@jackwagon1992]

This explains a lot.

[@tretansakera_war250]

When they look each other at the family party Jake: you are Dream Theater guitarist right? John: you are Periphery guitarist right? Jake and John: what are you doing here?

[@Thorntreed41]

That's so fucking amazing that John is his uncle

[@dtrocker15]

[@Abasedbymygrief]

Every family is better than the Simpsons

[@MortenSaabye]

[@curtarmmar]

[@God_D_Nika]

That moment when god is your "uncle" (I guess) :|

[@kitpalmer1583]

what do you mean you guess?

[@God_D_Nika]

"I guess he's his uncle" :D cause He might not be. ;) Some godly prog magick.

[@Joeyplaysguitar1082]

This is awesome.

[@frysebox1]

petrucci has become legitimately fucking swole, where does his power levels even end

[@levisnotjeans]

That's really cool I didn't know they were related, guess greatness runs in the blood haha

[@aordoomsday]

too bad they are not blood lmao

[@amiseso]

you could say that for John's children later on...

[@amiseso]

Lord Nafaryus well, this is my personal opinion, and im not entitled to any professionals, but, I think Gaga is alright in terms of musicality, she knows how to create good music. Yet she chose to enroll in such industry who favors popularity and fortune more than musicality itself.

[@DeOrestes]

it's not a blood relationship

[@giraffeics4982]

I mean, people wanna make whatever genre they wanna make, and the industry around that is what it is, unfortunately.

[@blankspace0000]

Everyone has a cool uncle. Mine has a PhD. But this... this is fucking unreal.

[@CaptnP00pyP4nts]

Aw wow man. This is an awesome vid. Cool to know, now everyone will know the legend!

[@cardbored_]

Is that Jake from the band State Farm?

[@nathanline2523]

Lmfao this guy doesnt know whom Jake Bowen is 😂

[@DDickinson458]

Why have they not done at least a side project album together? That could be so cool.

[@SuperGorak]

It's a bit like The Flash and Kid Flash

[@Abasedbymygrief]

This is perfect

[@muhammadfaiqn]

'uncle' john!?

[@basicoptimalmouse]

I'm more surprised they aren't blood related :O

[@tcarafi]

[@GuillermoSmyser]

So they aren't blood related. Jake's music genes aren't the same as John's.
