DREAM THEATER - James LaBrie & John Petrucci interview @Linea Rock 2019 by Barbara Caserta

On December 4th 2018 we were honored to have as our very special guests on LINEA ROCK (in our Milano-studios of Radio Lombardia) Mr JAMES LaBRIE & Mr JOHN PETRUCCI, frontman and guitarist of DREAM THEATER. The pleasant videointerview of BARBARA CASERTA (unleashed only 2 months later, to follow the label’s specific promo-guidelines) was mainly based on “DISTANCE OVER TIME” (out February 22nd 2019), 14th album of their long, magic musical journey of 33 years and first record on InsideOutMusic / Sony Music, a new label carefully chosen… We go deepen on the making of the album, done in a special secret place (Monticello, New York, close to Woodstock) and literally made in seclusion, whole in the family, including the meals they were cooking by themselves in between recording songs… John produced the record in a sort of “trialism” dividing himselves in different roles (songwriter, guitarist, producer), all demanding, with Ben Grosse helping on the mix and Tom Baker for mastering (a big name for his collaborations with the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Santana). The cover artwork of “Distance Over Time” was created by long-time cover collaborator Hugh Syme (Rush, Iron Maiden, Stone Sour) and it brings some Shakespeare’s reference "TO BE OR NOT TO BE"… how did they come to it? And what about the New York Times’ similar cover incident? Discover also all the anticipations we could get about the upcoming tour, which among old classics and new songs will also feature "Metropolis pt. 2 Scenes From A Memory" album played in its entirety celebrating its 20th Anniversary… and since John and Mike Portnoy remained good friends after the split, will there ever be any possibility of seeing a DT double drumkit performance with “Mike & Mike” banging together on same stage with the band? Just push play and find that out… Enjoy & Share!
