RUSH's 2013 Hall of Fame Acceptance Speech

It's about time. These guys are the greatest of all-time. No doubt about it. They've had more influence on me, and most of my favorite music than anyone else I know of.. blah blah blah... blah blah blah blah, and yes Alex is one of the most underrated guitarists of his time. We all know Neil is the master. No one else has won as many awards as this man. No one will ever be better than Neil Peart. And we all know Geddy Lee is universally revered for his technologically-advanced multi-tasking, and superb bass-playing.. Kudos to Alex Lifeson for this bit! These guys... They are.. well,

Simply the greatest band of all-time!

John Petrucci Introduces His New Pedal

Here is a Blabbermouth article about Dream Theater's John Petrucci's new modulation pedal.

"The Dreamscape has four knobs: Speed, Depth, FX Level and one that chooses between the six integrated signature tones and one additional TonePrint. Further, the pedal has a three-way switch for toggling between Bright, Normal and Dark, which is an overall tonal shaping feature chosen

by Petrucci. Finally, The Dreamscape also contains all of the great features included in other TonePrint pedals such as true bypass, one-screw-battery-access and a sturdy design made for life on the road." (Source)

Most importantly, here is the video contained in the article:

The effects. The imagination. This is only a tiny part of why JP is the best guitarists of all time.
