I haven't heard of Dan Petrucci, is he the brother of John Petrucci of Dream Theater?
Not sure if I can agree with "I can't stand anything [he] plays... but... I respect his talent." I understand some guitar players are deemed as talented in the public eye or by critics, but I don't feel I have to agree if I don't see them live up to it, or if I don't hear anything talented coming from them.
All in all I think we are almost on the same page. There are bands I don't like at all but I'll still admire the talents of the guitar player in those bands, and I'll even watch a doc to hear him talk about guitar and junk, even though I won't go out of my way and buy an album from that band. Kirk Hammett for instance, while Metallica isn't a band I am crazy for, what I do see Kirk play I have no complaints. I'm sure there are someone somewhere who doesn't like him. But what I hear Kirk do I like and he earned my admiration for his talent and other reasons, and John Mayer didn't.
