John Petrucci is a guitar god!!! We have almost all their CD's. Probably one of the most musically skilled bands of all time. My husband & son go see them every time they are in town.
IMO, every member of the band is among the top 5 - 10 in the world on their particular instrument...with the possible exception of James LaBrie. He's pretty good, but with the rest of the band at a stratospheric level, sometimes I wish for better vocals. Geoff Tate (Queensryche) did the vocals for one D.T. song at the concert. That was absolutely incredible! Swap Geoff in for James and D.T. would be absolutely perfect.
