YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD - Mike Portnoy's THE BEATLES Cover Band To Release DVD/CD Set; New York City Video Footage Available
March 3, 2011, 13 years ago
After having had such a fun experience the first time around in 2003, former DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy, MR. BIG guitarist Paul Gilbert and ex-SPOCK'S BEARD guitarist/keyboardist Neal Morse reunited once again in February to pay tribute to their greatest influence of all - THE BEATLES - with their YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD project
Due to a scheduling conflict (and further fueling the "Paul is dead" rumours), original YMC bassist Matt Bissonette was unable to join the band this time. In his place was UTOPIA's Kasim Sulton.
