“I’ve been fortunate to have played guitar all over the world for many years, but I’ve never been able to stretch out as a player in the way that this tour will allow me to,” Collen said, in a press statement, prior to adding that he is stoked beyond words to be able to share the stage with John Petrucci and Joe Satriani.
