DREAM THEATER Guitarist Praises RUSH: Video Available

November 23, 2006

According to a posting on the RUSH fan site Power Windows, subcribers to Guitar World magazine have received an added bonus with the January 2007 issue; the subscriber CD-ROM includes a 26-minute interview with DREAM THEATER guitarist John Pretrucci where John opens with "one of my biggest influences, as a band and the guitar player from that band is RUSH. If I had to name my favorite band, it would be them." The video has been posted online at Google Video.

DREAM THEATER's "Score" two-DVD set was recently certified platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). The set, which sold more than 14,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 1 on Billboard's Top Music Video chart, contains DREAM THEATER's entire "20th Anniversary World Tour" grand finale recorded live at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 1, 2006.

DREAM THEATER has ended its longtime collaboration with Atco/EastWest Records/The Atlantic Group and is currently in talks with several labels about a possible new record deal. In addition, the group has entered a New York City studio with engineer Paul Northfield (RUSH, QUEENSRŸCHE, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, MARILYN MANSON) to begin recording its follow-up to 2005's "Octavarium", tentatively due next spring.
