He even picked them for the American leg of this year’s Progressive Nation Tour, which fell through in the end due to the bankruptcy of SPV, distributor and owner of Beardfish’s record label InsideOut. Mr. Portnoy goes further showing his appreciation for the young Swedes on the aforementioned Transatlantic record where he plays a drum groove pretty similar to one from Beardfish’s “Sleeping in Traffic, Part Two” album.

Here’s a little medley of Beardfish’s “The Hunter” and Transatlantic’s “On The Prowl”. Enjoy!

1. Stop wanking in public. That’s inappropriate.
2. Get a singer. You can afford it.

Apparently this band is becoming more and more of a one man show centered around the world’s most overrated drummer who pretty much runs Dream Theater on his own by now. Not sure it does any good to the band though… maybe financially but defintely not musically. Sometimes less is more, Mr. Portnoy.
