The biggest one thus far was the Download Festival at Castle Donington in the U.K. Petrucci explains, “We’ve been playing festivals on the weekends and filling in between with headlining shows. Guitar World caught up with Petrucci while he and the band were in the midst of a European summer tour, on the way to Belgium to play the humongous Graspop Metal Meeting Festival, which features a massive lineup of Mötley Crüe, Heaven & Hell, Slipknot, Korn, Journey, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Anthrax, Lamb of God, Death Angel and others.
The great depth and substance of their music would not be possible without the remarkable musicianship of the individual members. Throughout Dream Theater’s 20-year history, they have shown a penchant for pushing the boundaries of progressive metal beyond the status quo. A large measure of Dream Theater’s long-term success can be attributed to the band’s ability to seamlessly blend a leaning toward pop-style rock (à la the most accessible songs by Rush or Queen) with some of the scariest progressive metal ever imagined.
