"We didn't write it to be any kind of hit... all of a sudden people were requesting it." - John Petrucci talks about hearing "Pull Me Under" on the radio, his Ernie Ball Music Man Majesty guitars and more at Guitar Center:
I went to see Dream Theater live on their last tour and was excited to see John play guitar, but for some reason John wasn't performing, Hagrid was playing guitar instead. I never knew Hagrid could play guitar though, it was interesting.
As silly as it sounds, this is tough for me to watch, because it was filmed at the time I was working at this GC location. Of course I wasn't scheduled to work that day, and I didn't find out that he was making an appearance till the day after. I know, wah wah wah...still wish I had known before the fact, just to show up and listen haha.
John Petrucci dropped by the Platinum Room room at Guitar Center Carle Place and talked to us about the beginnings of Dream Theater, the genesis of his sound and his signature Ernie Ball Music Man Majesty guitars. #johnpetrucci #dreamtheater #musicman #majesty
+Patrick Mate No doubt!! You could take a shoe box, stretch some kite string across it, and Petrucci would make it sound good. This guy is beyond excellent.
+Jordan Mahony Chuck Norris beard is composed of individual pubes from every mens urinal in America. Petrucci's is woven from the armpit hair of a million n00b guitarists.
I remember seeing them in Pittsburgh when they opened for Iron Maiden. I was like "who the fuck is Dream Theater?". They opened up with As O Am and I was blown away. After the concert I went home and bought like 4 of their albums. So glad I found them.
Awesome guitar, it may be expensive for an electric but it's fully loaded and the craftsmanship is superb. Besides, in comparison to a high end classical guitar then it's pretty cheap, lol, a 2000 USD classical guitar would be a super affordable concert guitar. I feel it's fairly priced, especially for a signature model, that alone would normally ake the price go up substantially.
that musicman guitar cost 80 to 100thousand here in the philippines when you convert dolllar to peso,so expensive price for the signature guitar of john
Around 2012 I had him autograph an old "Rock Discipline" VHS case. He asked if I still had something to play it with and I told him yes. He literally LOL'd.
Video games do remasters of older games with updated graphics. I would love for Dream Theater to rerecord When Day and Dream Unite with Lebrie singing and a cleaner recording. That would be incredible.
I played this guitar and it feels awesome. What I can tell you is this, if you have a body type like John, then this guitar will feel amazing in your hands. It plays amazing, sounds amazing, looks terrible with that big ass horn, but who cares cause it makes you want to play, and it makes you feel like you can play like John. Thumbs to Musician for making awesome guitars.
Yep,..I heard PMU in 92 on the radio in Ontario Ca. in my truck driving for Coca Cola. I was so thankful,....."shred is not dead" I said to myself. 3:21
No offense to Petruccino, but I really liked his sound more when he played an Ibanez, if you listen to his solos on the Rock Discipline videos for example, I think that's the best he ever sounded.
i always mezmerized by jordan kit. when it comes to seabord. that haken thing. or that ipad cool thing but man... technology really been progressed. john really is have the awesome kind of like another planet rig too i wonder what happen to john myung kit
Petrucci is one of the best guitar player,who always improve his own sound and still.There are plenty of better players,but none has got the "science of sound" of Dr.Petrucci!
![ILLSLICK - KILLSHOT REMIX [FULL VERSION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RIK8RrqIAzE/mqdefault.jpg)
That's one loaded guitar. Suddenly the $2600 price tag doesn't seem that bad. More worth it than Gibson Standards for sure.
Linh Nguyen It's a great guitar. I own the 7 string version of the arctic dream. Give it a try. It's very comfortable to play.
Aman Hassan If I could afford it I would for sure haha. $1k guitars are good enough for a bedroom player like me anyhow.
Linh Nguyen I understand. Well here is to hoping that one day you can afford it.
Keep playing,keep practicing. :)
Stay awesome.
$1000 guitars are good enough for anyone. I know a luthier who can make anything for $1500. The stupid electronics are what cost money.
yeah like EMG pickups fuck those are price 400 bucks Canadian for a pair.
His beard is about as impressive and clean as his playing
Cesar Issac Mercado the most gentle Viking in history..
Cesar Issac Mercado He's like the lost twin of Rollo from ''Vikings'' xD
Cesar Issac Mercado His beard is going to release it's own album soon.
pauljh74 Awesome!
Cesar Issac Mercado Reminds me of Harding from the Rockets.
I love how humble and chill he is, for such a god...

Carly Rose that really blows man. You must’ve been pissed. I definitely would.
My friend does not believed me when I told him ZZtop joins Dream Theater...now here's the proof...

Man, I could listen to him talk and play for hours
That effect from 9:22 to 9:42 just sounds so damn good! Wish he had continued with that.
it's a chorus and yes ,its beautiful
+Patrick Mate My Digitech chorus just doesn't seem to sound that good.
Kem Hayes it's freaking petrucci man lol , maybe he is using a bit of reverb too lol
+Patrick Mate No doubt!! You could take a shoe box, stretch some kite string across it, and Petrucci would make it sound good. This guy is beyond excellent.
Kem Hayes lol i could imagine that lol
This guitar costs more than my liver and kidney combined
Rudy Ayoub worth it trust me
Looks like I wont feed the kids this year
wtf.. HAHAHA
Lol
If your liver and kidney cost less than $2,600, you need to stop drinking lol
world's no.1 . his legacy will be noticed in time, 50+ years. his knowledge of tone and skill is amazing
agree
@@dragchainreaction me too
I literally just got done reading the GC catalog that came in my mail with Petrucci on the cover.
Even being a guitar god, he still talks with simplicity and humility!
I think Petrucci is a bit late on his attempt to be the star of Castaway
+Perry D Maybe he could write an instrumental called "WILSON!".
***** only if the cover art is him holding a plain volleyball with a single tear in his eye
+Perry D He is enjoying his hair, while he still has it. Looks like he is receding now.
MetalMan73100
Myung too. It seems like he's receding. I feel like balding is such a universal thing. Everyone balds, no matter what race.
So after all these years....John Petrucci made it possible to turn your guitar to eleven. 6:09
Thanks to guitar center for giving these artists the quality of interview they deserve. the guitars sounded as awesome as they should ! inspiring !
good lord that beard majesty
this is one of those videos that didn't get as much recognition which is sad because I love me some dream theater
I love the Mesa Boogie in the background that you guys are no longer allowed to sell.
That's the manliest man beard I've ever seen.
Ryan Berry Chuck Norris disagrees

Daniel Verberne LMFAO
Daniel Gonzalez *grins*
Zakk wylde might disagree
we're not worthy! we're not worthy!
John Petrucci has another talent than shredding. It is finding catxhy adjectives to express whatever that's in his mind
had to watch this 2 times because the first time i couldn't concentrate because of his majestic beard
I don't think it's too far fetched to anoint JP the King. Seems to be a very humble guy as well. Definitely one of my inspirations
such a down to earth guitarist, unbelievable tones and he is right up there among the best
This guy ain't no joke.
I remember seeing them in Pittsburgh when they opened for Iron Maiden. I was like "who the fuck is Dream Theater?". They opened up with As O Am and I was blown away. After the concert I went home and bought like 4 of their albums. So glad I found them.
Oh God that last clip. Something tells me the next album will be as heavy as ToT.
I'd be ok with that. Some consider it one of their worst but i love it. It's probably second to metropolis pt 2
afroheadwes Endless Sacrifice is problably one of their best song IMO
I agree completely.
ifeelitbro along with Honor Thy Father
I would really LOVE that... Heavy prog at its best
John is one of the best guitar players around. Love him and Dream Theater. Awsome🤘🤘
AMMMMMazing sound! The acoustic sound it brings... Wow! John made that guitar weep.
One of thee most disciplined guitarists I've enjoyed watching evolve through the years..
His tone is so rich and nasty i love it.
this is one of the longest commercials i've ever seen
Pull me under is a totall badass song one of my favorite songs
what a great description of the clean sound: "its like a conversation"...
Santa Prog
Dream Theater Christmas Carols!! Lets make it happen!!
My favourite guitar player!
Holy mother of beards.
Hes great.. very very accurate..I love that.. I dont know anything about him but I can tell hes a great player
Awesome guitar, it may be expensive for an electric but it's fully loaded and the craftsmanship is superb. Besides, in comparison to a high end classical guitar then it's pretty cheap, lol, a 2000 USD classical guitar would be a super affordable concert guitar. I feel it's fairly priced, especially for a signature model, that alone would normally ake the price go up substantially.
My god the sound at 7.10-7.17 is magic !
I didnt know Robert Baratheon played guitar
Besides being probably the best guitar player of his generation, JP is also very humble and seems like a very nice person too.
one hell of a flavor savor!!!
That tone sounds great
Those riffs 😍
that musicman guitar cost 80 to 100thousand here in the philippines when you convert dolllar to peso,so expensive price for the signature guitar of john
It cost around 30 milion rupiah in indonesia.
So expensive😭😭
You forgot the price for shipping the guitar
I love it. Guitarists love and know the axe like a hunter knows his rifle.
john petrucci is secretly keemstar
Gab Springer except keemstar is a douchebag
Metal Santa!
preparing for his acting debut in "12 years a shave"
His beard is sparkling! NOW THAT'S SOME PROG MAGIC!
Why his fingerprints are not present on Hollywood at Rockwalk in front of Guitar Center? He is a legend of guitar and deserves to be there
you rock man ...
What a gentleman !!
He’s so chill while playing, like he doesn’t have to shred to look cool or prove anything to anyone.
John Petrucci is awesome
Gorgeous GUITAR!!!!! how much is that? Fckin beautiful!!!!
I WAS LIKE..MAYBE JOHN SPENT A DECADE INSIDE THE CAVE TO PRACTICE GUITAR HAHAH..
"So here is the Quintessential John Petrucci's riff" and after the ' universe , galaxies and stars began to take shape.
John Petrucci = The best!!!!!!!
Una leggenda della chitarra prog.... JOHN PETRUCCI
joker86CJ YEA
Around 2012 I had him autograph an old "Rock Discipline" VHS case. He asked if I still had something to play it with and I told him yes. He literally LOL'd.
I know he is losing hair but i miss the short, cropped beard and short hair petrucci of the train of thought years
Looks like a wizard. Plays like a wizard.
สวัสดีครับอาจารย์ John Petrucci
his beard sparkles in a supernatural way
Video games do remasters of older games with updated graphics. I would love for Dream Theater to rerecord When Day and Dream Unite with Lebrie singing and a cleaner recording. That would be incredible.
COOOOOOL!
If John Petrcci read bed time stories I'd buy it. His voice is almost as majestic as his guitar
thats a really innovative guitar
To be honest, I love the crunchlab-Liquifire combination...
Majesty is a true battle axe to be wielded only by a proven warrior. Squires and the unworthy need not attempt to even touch this powerful beast!
Great Guitar Player!
I played this guitar and it feels awesome. What I can tell you is this, if you have a body type like John, then this guitar will feel amazing in your hands. It plays amazing, sounds amazing, looks terrible with that big ass horn, but who cares cause it makes you want to play, and it makes you feel like you can play like John.

Magnetic and Pizo with both pickups would be beautiful for a cover of metallica's fade to black
Appearing this season on Duck Dynasty... Phil's long lost son? John Petrucci... Mountain Man.
Jesus Petrucci
That guitar is fucking kewl.
dude is just messing around playing the most beautiful shit I've ever heard
Showing Off.
Yep,..I heard PMU in 92 on the radio in Ontario Ca. in my truck driving for Coca Cola. I was so thankful,....."shred is not dead" I said to myself. 3:21
No offense to Petruccino, but I really liked his sound more when he played an Ibanez, if you listen to his solos on the Rock Discipline videos for example, I think that's the best he ever sounded.
I think he might be the true modern guitar god, even looks the part. Plus Glasgow Kick is just ridiculous.
Best guitar ever!!!!
I like it!
Wolverine has joined DT?
The beard is coming in nicely.
That's such an awesome beard.
i always mezmerized by jordan kit. when it comes to seabord. that haken thing. or that ipad cool thing
but man... technology really been progressed. john really is have the awesome kind of like another planet rig too
i wonder what happen to john myung kit
That was fucking rad!!!
Petrucci is one of the best guitar player,who always improve his own sound and still.There are plenty of better players,but none has got the "science of sound" of Dr.Petrucci!

That red one with roasted maple is the best guitar in the entire series.
I love how he goes from like no beard to this
I thought that he lived at guitar Center.....
He's just pure beard now :D
7:10 there was one not perfectly clean note!
Now i am finally satisfied...
