Petrucci and Myung do their groove thing...always good to see them jam...

...La Brie is gettin' grey like me but he's still a great rock and roll singer...

...Rudess is an incomparable keyboardist and Mangini fills Mike Portnoy's shoes behind the drums as well as anyone on the planet could...

Thanks again BigMike! As usual great music from you. There was a great comment pertaining to this video in which the comment or said DRUMMERS PRACTICE TO A METRONOME. IN THIS CASE THE METRONOME PRACTICES TO THIS GREAT DRUMMER. A little odd but I thought is was pretty cool.

Ya...you should see the vid of Mangini auditioning for the spot left when Portnoy took a break and got replaced. Not sure I want to know how it happened. Portnoy wrote most of their lyrics, played drums and sang...not a bad singer either.

Here's Portnoy and friends doing a cover you'll like...seriously.

(You might recognize Billy Sheehan on bass. I posted a vid of he and Paul Gilbert doing a little guitar exercise after their Mr. Big days.)

But if you want to see him in kick-ass drum action, this is Portnoy after he left Dream Theater, Petrucci, Rudess of Dream Theater and Tony Levin from King Crimson on the Chapman stick on a side project called Liquid Tension Experiment
