Mike Portnoy CYGNUS AND THE SEA MONSTER - 2006

was that a little bit of villa strangiatto at the very end?? ;)

Paul is playing an Ibanez model 2630, probably made in about 1978. It's one of the best guitars you can buy (if you can find one).

I thought originally it was an Artcore AS103 but the trem and toggle didn't match. This explains it. Thanks:)

What exactly is this Ibanez model Paul is playing?

ooh spirit of radio at final!!! P&P the big ones

this is sweet!!!

portnoy, gilbert and malone are robots, they must be to be that good

This is the best YYZ cover I have ever heard anybody do ever. Gilbert was flawless in his role as The Guitarist. I have never heard anyone but Alex play Alex like Alex. But his execution of the solo was just as slick and slippery as the original recording.
Since they all did such a great job, I'm gonna have to take the lowest of all roads and play the part of the casual no-life, no-talent, pissed-off-at-the-world youtube observer, and insist that this is fake.

Now I feel like less of a loser.

gilbert and portnoy...GODS \m/
