DREAM THEATER's JOHN PETRUCCI Talks DiMarzio Illuminator Pickups (Video)

September 14, 2013

In the five-minute clip below, DREAM THEATER guitarist John Petrucci talks about the DiMarzio Illuminator pickups created for his Music Man JP13 guitar and the band's new self-titled album that will be released by Roadrunner Records on September 24.

"Dream Theater" was recorded at Cove City Studio in Glen Cove, Long Island, with Petrucci producing and Richard Chycki engineering and mixing. It's the band's second album with drummer Mike Mangini, and the first one on which he was a part of the writing process from Day One.

DREAM THEATER will be on tour in Europe in January and February 2014, and in North America in March 2014.

"Live At Luna Park", DREAM THEATER's live concert will drop in North America on November 5 via Eagle Rock Entertainment as a Blu-ray, 2DVD, 2DVD + 3CD, Blu-ray + 3CD, deluxe edition with 40-page book, Blu-ray + 2DVD + 3CD, and digital video via iTunes.

"Live At Luna Park" was filmed over two nights in South America — home to one of DREAM THEATER's most ardent fanbases. The DVD was filmed August 19 and August 20, 2012 at Estadio Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina after a 15-month world tour, hitting 35 countries.
