i'm a drummer, and cant speak very well on the grounds of who the better technician is.  But hackett is more tasteful and charismatic for sure, alot easier to listen to.

    Hackett defintly had a very strong influence on guitarists that cxame after him...but in the case of mere skill and overall talent i think Petrucci takes it away. He has all the skill Hackett has and more.. i think hackett may write a little bit better than Petrucci but again skill wise Petrucci wins in my eyes..

 You know that Hackett is better in your opinion and that Dream Theater and the "unemotional w**kery" of Petrucci is hated here, so I don't think this thread really accomplishes anything.

Just my opinion, and I don't think you can compare the two.



sure you can

of course, getting a mature discussion about it is what's difficult

i find both to be poor songwriters and terribly overrated in their respective fields, though I think Petrucci is extremely technically proficient
back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums

Right on.
But if I had to choose between the 2, It's Petrucci, coz he plays metal. Simple.

Hackett, more trascendental, skilled, complete and versatile.
 
IMO no contest.

both are poor songwriters (yes it's my opinion, thats obvious, so i dont need an IMO...)

so the edge has to go to Petrucci in mere ability

Oh man. First of all, a warning to future posters: Please don't make make outlandish statements against Petrucci. I've seen enough of these to know the future!

As to the question at hand, I think Hackett is definitely the better songwriter, and Petrucci probably the bestter musician, but technical skill only means something is you can write engaging songs.

My friend of lesser looks and musical tastes and I quarrel a lot.  Who, is the better guitarist, musician, and who had the better band?  Also, who makes the btter music? Hackett hands down for me.  Just my opinion.
