John Petrucci | Dream Theater | Part 1: Ernie Ball & Music Man | Thomann

[@davidepannone6021]

I am always shocked on how classy and genuine JP sounds in every interviews that he does.

[@FirstLast-cd6vv]

Long Island musicians usually don't let success go to their heads.

[@TC-ps9sd]

I agree. When I see an interviewer with him, I think "what a humble, good guy."

[@DavidOakesMusic]

@@FirstLast-cd6vv Nobody told Portnoy.

[@jch5150]

I never get tired of gear interviews with JP. Can't wait to meet him this August. Thanks Thomann!!

Jason Haverfield 013?

[@poesybeat]

I'm not even into Dream Theater but I always love watching interviews with John Petrucci. What an interesting and classy guy. Owned a JP6 for a while - what a great precision engineered guitar. Thanks for the video!

[@stevesmith2197]

With all of the good things to say, why are you not into Dream Theater?

[@poesybeat]

Fair question - I think they're interesting from a technical perspective (chops, tightness, super hero virtuosity, etc.) but I could never get into the singer or the overall aesthetic of their songs. Amazing players for sure though.

[@larstrygve9753]

Watched this video... Owns JP guitar... Yet says not into dream theater hahahahahahaha

[@Niloy63]

Petrucci is a hell of a guitarist and a classy dude to boot. Great interview!

[@sandesh_koirala]

Kris enjoyed every second of this!!!!!

[@michaelvargha7302]

It is always a pleasure to watch a John Petrucci interview, whether he is talking about music, being a salesman or (usually) both. In a world full of bravado, it is wonderful to listen to such a soft spoken, down to earth individual who is also a fantastic musician and song writer. Refreshing.

[@sumantnemmani4877]

[@karoline.972]

Kris, you were very well prepared! And probably very excited too...? You don't meet a "hero" every day! Great video and interview.

[@roba1899]

Images & Words is my Holy Grail .. I was 22 when it was released. I feel I've been with the band since its inception when they were barely known. Jetzt muss ich nach Dland umziehen .. ha.

[@valven76]

Change of Seasons...One of The best sounding album....Fantastic production and songwriting!.

[@seantierson2633]

That face Kris made when JP brought the piezo sound into the clean chorus and delay sound! Same one I made

[@C_moi_wsh235]

John Petrucci is so an impressionant guitarist and at the same time a very cool guy!

[@Romcom_enthusiast]

I'm inspired by John petrucci interviews

[@alexlanza79]

Awesome video! Kris looks like a little kid talking to Superman (and I'd look the same in his place). Anyway I would love to hear from the few people who didn't like this video what specifically they didn't like, was their shoes, or the color of the walls or what else!

[@Ahtnagarp]

Great interviewer, so polite, respectful and professional

[@robertkeenan9706]

Great interview man! I could listen to JP all day long!

[@michalmikolajmaslowski3994]

Thanks, Kris & Thomann for this interview. Always a pleasure to listen to JP - a lot of interesting facts, and tips that the man is never hesitant to share.

[@hellsing1983]

This is the quy who next to my guitar teacher teached me how to play guitar (Rock discipline) His great tone inspired me to look after my own tone. Very important to me and JP doesn't even know but still a big thank you to him and ofcourse Thomann for this great video. Can't wait for part 2 :)

[@rangerdoc1029]

Remie Stronks I love Rock Discipline! I'll never forget him at the end of one exercise : "that was 200 ... Let's say that was difficult". Lol. I've never been able to do that exercise anywhere near 200bpm.

[@mootbooxle]

Not a Dream Theater fan but I am a John Petrucci fan! I would love to meet him. I listen to any interview, lecture, or clinic I come across. I just really like his energy and I appreciate the way he explains things!

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Kris here, hi! Absolutely, John is a fantastic person to hang out with. Relaxed, smart and really funny too.

[@mprater86]

I literally got chills at 16:30

[@L0kitheliar]

Great interview

[@roquemorden9504]

I love this guy. Tone, note, personality, everything. . Interesting guitar player. 😊😊😊

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

He is a top bloke. You are right Aziz. //Andy

[@roquemorden9504]

Thanks to invite him. 😊 Keep it up. . Sorry only give you like and sub.

[@DeathMetalBIH]

It's was a real pleasure watching them here in Munich a month ago. For the third time....Great interview btw.

[@tarkus1056]

That extra long look at the camera from Petrucci at the end of the video is haunting.

[@RachEspinosa]

Great interview!

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

While I'll never be able to afford a JP guitar, I did by a Harley Benton. What an awesome instrument. It's made well, plays well and sound great.

[@javimm77]

I guess it shouldn't surprise me, but the mere mention of Ted Greene being one of his influences just makes me respect JP even more.

[@Boomheyyou]

I love John just bought his amp love it

[@sandesh_koirala]

John is a god

[@Todesnuss]

*John is God

[@sandesh_koirala]

"God" is used for the ones that get worshiped "god" is used for someone truly adored

[@svencro]

so there it is John is God.....

[@szabiakanich]

Great/fun interview. You can see that John enjoys it as much as the interviewer. Great stuff. Keep it up.

[@bmann792]

What a classy down to earth guy - for a god

[@bunnihilator]

really well done, nice interview, nice mood, nice setup, nice host, really a great interview

[@mhsigrist]

What a cool talk! I just loved this interview. You got a new subscriber!

[@kikimajik]

Kris, you're the luckiest guy in the world

[@uessaloniki]

I am a simple man. I see a John Petrucci interview, I like!

[@musicmanpiezo]

This is a great interview!

[@XMetalChefX]

Is it me or is Chris' giddyness at JP adorable lol

[@Biakrumsang]

best talks

[@kobiban]

I visited thomann back in 2013 I think. Is it different from back then now? might have to book another trip if it is...

[@GreatOne0815]

At 16:30 it sounds just like on the record - astonishing! :-D

[@fedboy21]

Why mesa amps always has that pops when changing channel or flicking a switch? Is it broken or thats the nature of the amp?? I mean is it normal?

[@tdz69]

This guitar is very impressive. The acoustic sound is practically indistinguishable from an actual one.

[@Daniel-pu9fi]

Kris is like a little kid on Christmas and I totally get it. John seems like a nice guy too.

[@tomh4244]

Hey Thomann! Which mics are being used there to record the cab please? :)

[@Nialzzz]

"It's a happy place". Yes it is!

[@Sunshine_lover111]

Does anyone know where John Petrucci bought these cool Jeans...?

[@aaushpradhan5285]

16:30 ! Dude look at cris’s reaction

[@MrUltraworld]

When you buy a piece gear that John uses, It's been toured with and any glitches get changed BEFORE it hits the streets

[@roquemorden9504]

Wow. Who give you the string john??? He describe it for you, and you ask it. LOL 🤣🤣🤣.. Wow .. What a cool guitar player.. LOVE IT!!

[@troyniles614]

I just don’t understand why the back plates aren’t flush mounted that really boggles me , Because to me this is like the ultimate guitar one thing that the back plates Stick out like that just seems strange to me unless there’s some kind of reason for it like not enough room or something I don’t know

[@tonefingerz2021]

can some plz tell me how u get your stuff in stereo?

[@Booker10000]

Good interview. You were smiling like you met God himself.

[@deasnutz4ever]

Not so sure about the Paradigm strings thing, they feel very different in my opinion. Pretty stiff. I’d be surprised they actually use them to record or practice. They might be useful on stage.

[@LawrenceTheElephant]

I´ve never seen a guitar like that. WTF!? I truly need one guitar more...

[@VictorMoraes_dt]

The link to the shop is broken :/

[@arvedbohn6133]

Frage: Beutzt John Petrucci ein Overdrivepedal oder kommt die Verzerrung vom Verstärker?

[@stefanhoefer]

hauptsächlich Verstärker

[@arvedbohn6133]

Oh Mann, der hat Feuer unterm Hintern! Danke ;)

[@tonefingerz2021]

im such a recluse. after 5 deployments all i do is sit in the house n play guitar. i need some1 to jam with

[@stevesmith2197]

I salute you and thank you for your service sir!

[@smiljanicn]

Is that Senheiser 441D on the cab?

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

No that's a Voodoo VR2 ribbon mic and a Sennheiser e906 :) //Philipp

if i was rich i wud pay 100k to jam just one time with each one of my idol type people. keep 100k and donate all the rest

[@PTRK490]

No fkn way... 15:46 there's a pedal called corona??

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Of course. It's a TC Electronic chorus pedal and it's over 10 years old. There's also a super tasty corn beer with that name. 😅🤷‍♂️ So there are good things related to that word too, not only the "current situation". Cheers //Kris

Buy messa boogie amp, JP2C, JP majesty guitar & go sound like JP. Good luck 🤣

I thought JP was using an 8-string for a moment.

[@AdityaKhuller]

Same!! When I first looked at the head, I thought I saw 8 tuners too!

[@brazwen]

yeah, JP did says he's thinking about getting an 8-string in one of his previous interviews. I'd like to see him on 8-string. It'll be interesting.

[@gingerjam2192]

8th string sounds like shit. Everything above the 7th sounds like shit.

[@brazwen]

That's your opinion. I do like 8 strings guitars.
