Neal Morse, Steve Morse, Dave LaRue, and Mike Portnoy in a project together! Shocked I can't wait for more announcements on this. Big smile

Interesting.  Wasn't Steve Morse approached for the LTE guitar slot initially?

Yes, but the first one to be pursued by Portnoy to be LTE's guitarrist was Pantera's guitarrist, Dimebag Darrell. Wink

Yes, I remember that being mentioned in the liner notes.  Would have definitely been a different album.

I'm glad to hear anything from Neal Morse, and it seems Portnoy is fine without DT, I think he likes playing with Transatlantic more anyway, who I hope do more albums, btw. Steve Morse should make an interesting choice for guitar.

Interestingly enough, he also mentions in the liner notes that his first two choices would've been Frank Zappa and John Lennon (which isn't possible, for obvious reasons). THAT would have been cool! Big smile

This will be very interesting, Steve Morse with modern Prog "legends", hmm.. Let's hope Neal Morse isn't encharged of the songwriting department, that would make it Transatlantic's unexpected 4th album.

I really hope this one shines (along with the project with SW and I forgot who else lol), just so he can rub it in the face of the old rusty machine named Dream Theater.

Of course Portnoy has another side project... Regardless if you enjoy(ed) DT or not, it's these side-projects, that although amazing, really get in the way of his focus with the band (I believe) - I look forward to it but Portnoy ruins everything for me now Cry

This could be great, as long as Jesus allows Morse to write songs about things other than Jesus.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

I don't see why Jesus would care what Steve Morse writes about. Most of his songs are instrumentals anyway.

I dunno...this certainly sounds very interesting and I will look forward to the release and probably buy the album.....but I am starting to think Portnoy is gonna become this studio session drummer guy with 25 different project bands and never find something that he is pleased with. Which to me tells me I will not see his potential come out anymore after Dream Theater.
 
And DT will end up as just a so-so metal band that will go thru a different drummer for every album.
 
Its good to see Steve Morse back in the studio....that will be a treat for sure!
