Episode 8: Mike Portnoy & John Sykes
Special Guest Guitarist:
Tony MacAlpineWow. Some pretty big news in the formation of a new "Supergroup" with
Portnoy and
Sykes announcing they are in the studio, writing and demoing songs. From what we get on the show, it's going to be a Trio. They are working with a Bass player, which they would not name. I wonder who? Bah! Spill it already! I'm definitely piqued here. I will be following them closely.
The show as pretty good too with both
Sykes and
Portnoy giving solid interviews/stories.
Mike is turning out to be a hoot with his continued, "random" walk-on's. Props to
Tony, who was shredding it up like there was no tomorrow.

The Throwdown: What's the Best Rush Album of the two:
Permanent Waves or
Moving Pictures?
The panel was split between the two and the audience chose Permanent Waves by a slight margin.
I chose neither as I don't have a favorite
Rush Album.
