Re: Dream Theater

I've certainly admitted myself to be a both a fan of the band and a fan of Portnoy- simply in terms of influence at a young age and where my research going backwards would take me.... ...however, I find that there's really no way that the band, the label, and even Portnoy aren't involved all in this...

Re: Looking For a Mentor

Re: Looking For a Mentor

My advise- from being in a similar experiences (sans the finger thing) would be to a) stop looking for the "fusion crowd". Yes... it's LA. There's lots of fusion going on, but at a very pro level with some very pro players (not at all trying to suggest that you aren't or won't ever be that...
