Even though DT has always rocked I think Jordan Rudess was a major upgrade, I mean the guy's insanely skilled:D. As the members themselves said on the chaos in motion documentary Rudess doesn't get the chance to show exactly how skilled he is in the DT songs even though the keyboard sounds insane there too:D
chainsawcarrol is talking about an album in which Jordan Rudess and John Petrucci were a duet. The album is called "An Evening With John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess". Rudess is on the keyboard as usual (acoustic piano), and Petrucci on an acoustic guitar (except on the last track) - It's wonderful! You've got to listen to it some time...
What's up with all the thumb-downs? =P DT is one of my favourite bands, I just thought Mike and Jordan's behaviour in this video was really funnny. I don't ACTUALLY think they're on drugs, I'm not an idiot.
And yeah, I would be excited to play in DT. Seeing someone so happy always makes me smile, but I guess you can't tell by my post.
I've always wondered why Jordan doesn't do backup vocals live. Besides the fact he often has ridiculously complex lines to play already, he'd be pretty good at it.
Oh my god, I believe this version of twinkle twinkle little star has been the best thing jordan has ever played... he is amazing... well all the guys from dream theater and LTE...
dude, i like all of them, portnoy, rudess, myung and especially petrucci. with labrie, however, i have sometimes my problems, but most of the time i like him too. ALL OF THEM ARE REALLY GREAT MUSICIANS

This guy is incredible, after having seen and heard many of his songs and contributions I have no problems saying he is the best keyboardist I have ever heard.
