- Peter Erskine chimed in to let us know he was playing here in LA. I went and took some pics of his gear.
Discussion with Peter on his gear at the show right here. - Apparently Dream Theater’s own Mike Portnoy ended up at our forums and saw some posts critiquing him a while back prompting him to sign up, and post to let us know he is “hurt”. Now initially I can sympathize with a drummer who stumbles on a web site where some folks say they like him, and others say they don’t (to be fair there was some name calling). But then if that same drummer has won more Modern Drummers’ reader poll awards than I’ve had Starbucks this week as well as scoring the cover several times in addition to basically becoming a god of your genre, one might think that some internet criticism would bounce right off you.
Not the case apparently.
In all seriousness some folks do need to be reminded that they probably shouldn’t post anything that they would not be comfortable saying in person (something I try to practice myself which is why I’m not going to post any images of a baby crying right now. I did do a Google image search though.)
Erskine pics, Progressive Rock drama!
