I've been a fan of Dream Theater for 30 years now, and while Jordan hasn't been with them that long, he has been with them for somewhere around 20 of those years and I have never been more impressed than I am right now. That was awesome. Thank you for getting him in the studio to do this. :)

@@BAE51C i'm not questioning that. it's just that, again, it doesn't give you an advantage in this case.

@TheChillMelodist Yep, that's Jordan Rudess allright. He's a very accomplished keyboard player, but he just LOVES overplaying. "Too many notes" is his method operandus unfortunately. He doesn't pay heed to what the song needs, he wants to show off and plays the most tacky, tasteless improvisations. I actually like show off musicianship, but Jordan Rudess is too much for me. (Rick Wakeman falls into the same category).
