I have to say,if a person is crazy about petrucci then it will be just as exiting as any COB show(but for me,since I know and love almost every cob song,it would be much more exciting to see alexi perform).

Alexi wasn't specificly saying petrucci was 'lame' was he?If he dosn't like dream thearter and thinks the music and performance of it is dull,then thats fine.I don't see why he 'must' like dream thearter.He obviously respects petrucci as a guitarist,like I do,but I can't get into the music itself.

I'll come right out and say I think satriani's music blows,but his solo's are great and he is a phenominal guitarist.I feel it just dosn't translate into the songwriting.

Am I commiting some kind of virtuoso blaspheme?
