“To me, [Rush] was the band that changed everything,” Petrucci told
us. “When music just hits you in such a way, especially when you’re
young … and you’re sort of developing your tastes — that band, there was
something about it. I just loved it. And so I got completely sucked
into all things Rush.” He added, “One of my greatest musical memories has to do with them
’cause Rush was the first concert I ever went to. Back in 1982, they
were on the
Signals tour, they were playing the Nassau Coliseum
on Long Island — I went there and had the worst seats ever. They were
so far away, but I just couldn’t believe that this was a band that I was
listening to all this time, and here I am in the same building as them.
How was that possible? I was just blown away by the show and the
production. And you can imagine what impact that had on me, eventually
making that my career.” - for more visit
