DREAM THEATER Guitarist Checks In

August 24, 2006

DREAM THEATER guitarist John Petrucci has posted the following message in his official forum:

"Just a little update on what I've been up to lately. I know it's been some time since the last one! I've been enjoying some much needed time off since the end of DREAM THEATER's 'Octavarium' world tour this past April. It was quite a long tour as most of you know and we were fortunate enough not only to play in front of many familiar faces, but to brand new audiences around the world as well. Our forthcoming DVD from that tour, titled 'Score', will be out on August 29th and I'm really psyched about it! It was shot on the last date of the tour at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. I know a lot of you were there! Check out Mike Portnoy and myself hosting 'Metal Mania' along with a special abbreviated preview of 'Score' this weekend on VH1 Classic.

"This summer I've been basically hanging out with my wife and kids enjoying the hot weather activities, working out and playing some guitar. Everything I love to do! In just a couple of weeks now I'll be back in the studio with the boys working on the next DREAM THEATER musical adventure. This fall I will also take part in two G3 tours: One in South America and the other in Australia. My first time down under! Both should be a lot of fun as always. Finally, the Ernie Ball crew and I have been finallizing the details on the next incarnation of the John Petrucci Music Man signature guitar and hope to announce its debut very soon."
