@krombee He's not being a dick, he's speaking in the name for good music. You don't see Meryl Streep performing in a New Jersey community theater production.
@USAon3 Dude, you don't even know how right you are... I used to be good friends with the guys in this band, and I hate to down them, but the fact Portnoy is even hanging out with them is a bit depressing from a Dream Theater fan standpoint.
Wow Mike P just makes it look easy... When Neil does it, it looks to me like he's beating the crap out of the drumkit. Not that I know anything about the craft of drumming but it's a fine spectacle! great version, would have loved to have been there. Thanks for sharing.
I was there that night, Dream Theater was definitely as awesome as they've ever were. And I loved Mike Portnoy playing that little drumkit and looking at it in a terrified manner. Great times.
Joey is such a good sport. Were I there ... I'd have been chanting "Joey! Joey! Joey!". Nobody should put Joey in the corner! hahaha ;) And I have to agree with Rob ... something doesn't sound "quite right".
LOL! I love Mike's expression @ 4:50 ! It's like "what the hell?! need more toms!" xD

@USAon3 so he's not allowed to have some fun? A band has to have a platinum record before he can drum for them? don't be a dick

@USAon3: FYI, it doesn't really look like a bar from out here. There's a jampack full of people.

The drummer says "You broke all my s**t over here, what are you doing?" He was just messing with Mike. It was a fun night.

You can see Portnoy's face disappointed with such a small drum playing rush.
