  • When Dream Theater visited Trondheim, Norway, we got to sit down with two of the founders of the band, John Petrucci and John Myung. This was quite a special day for us, as Dream Theater for the first time ever played in the city where the origins of Dream Theater World started out. DTNorway had its homebase in this city for many years, and the people behind DTNorway took initiative to start Dream Theater World. Apologize for the audio quality, we did what we could with what we had.

    With Dream Theater, it's not just the music, the musicianship, the virtuous-tic playing and the song writing; those are all great things. But it just goes to another level when you have guys who are so humble and genuinely kind people who clearly love and are passionate about what they do. I'm very proud to be have been a loyal fan for over two decades. Thanks so much for this interview, it was great!!

    What I love about this interview the most is you can see how much respect JP is giving JM whenever JM talks. You can see how much intensity there is when he's listening, kind of like, "He doesn't speak often, but when it does, you know you want to hear every word." Love DT and loved this interview!

      I suspect JM would have been an awesome therapist (not joking although it sounds like a joke). If you pay attention to him while JP is answering questions, you can see his constant facial reactions to JP's words. He never zones out and seems extremely focused on what's being said, even though he almost never speaks.

    I was at the Microsoft Theater yesterday watching this band that I love. Please respect the fact that they work so well together. There is a different culture at work here. Even after three generations, Korean culture is very strong. In the Korean culture, people are respected who don't speak. Not speaking means that the person is a good listener and is very mature. This comes from hundreds of years of both Confucianism and the teachings of Mencius, and it is engrained even within the blood of those that have been Americanized for two or three generations. He is super smart and to be respected. Their music is fabulous and contributes much to society, both Western and Eastern.
