DREAM THEATER's JORDAN RUDESS On Phones At Concerts: 'I Don't Mind Pictures At All' But Filming Entire Shows Is 'Kind Of Rude'
 In a new interview with the "Everblack" podcast, DREAM THEATER keyboardist Jordan Rudess was asked if he is the kind performer who gets annoyed by fans in the audience holding up their phones and taking pictures and short videos of the band's concerts. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "No, I'm not at all. I think people should be allowed to take pictures. I think that the only problem is if you see somebody just out there [holding the phone up and filming] the whole time, just capturing the whole thing. I just think that that's kind of rude. But I don't mind pictures at all. As a matter of fact, I think it's great. Take some pictures, capture a little clip, but don't sit there the whole time and just hold your phone and capture the whole thing. That's not right."
He continued: "The other thing that's not cool, for those of people who are listening that are gonna be gonna be in this situation, if you're in the front row and [DREAM THEATER guitarist] John Petrucci is right next to you — come on. Don't just sit there and hold the phone. That doesn't feel good to the performer. It's not acceptable. Yeah, take a picture, sure, grab a moment, but put your phone down. Enjoy it. It's rude for the player to have something right up to them. That's distracting."
Rudess added: "Just to finalize that thought — do it in a natural way. Yeah, grab your phone, take a couple of pictures here and there. Absolutely. Enjoy it. Just don't put it in somebody's face and don't hold it up the whole time 'cause you paid money for a ticket."
Jordan is also a solo artist whose latest album, "Permission To Fly", was released in September 2024; an educator who shares his skills through detailed online tutorials; and the founder of software company Wizdom Music. His work combines a rigorous classical foundation (he began his piano studies at Juilliard at age 9) with a genius for improvisation and an appetite for experimentation.
