      C'mon guys.... try and COVER THIS!!!
      Not sure if y'all can pull it off anymore without your "studio magic" and secret bag o' tricks. Jordan is like 1 year away from retirement on some beach, JP is playing Gibson amps now, John M is the only one pulling his weight. I don't think you guys got it in you anymore...it was a sick run though.
      I bet if that Liquid Tension Experience (I think that's it) guys saw this they could play it in a second. I don't think they have a singer, or something...or maybe he was sick that time I saw em. Those guys were good though...like scary good. Check em out sometime Dream Theater guys, they do that crazy music without any 'studio magic', but I still bet they are using the ole 'secret of the pros'

    Awesome vid! You did a pretty spot-on job with emulating the member's styles. Hell, you even did a decent job with James LaBrie's inflections, even when vocalists are FAR more difficult to impersonate. That said, I think you actually surpassed Portnoy's old backing vocals lmao. Great song, definitely gave me vibes from all sorts of different albums they've done.
