Portnoy and Petrucci are founding members of Dream Theater, and have won accolades from fans and critics alike for their prowess on the drum kit and guitar, respectively.
Rudess was previously known for his blazing keyboard work with the DIXIE DREGS and the RUDESS/MORGENSTEIN PROJECT and joined Dream Theater officially after the second Liquid Tension Experiment album sessions.
Tony Levin needs no introduction - stick and bass maestro, played with everyone from King Crimson to Peter Gabriel to YES to SARAH MCLACHLAN.
Liquid Tension Experiment's two studio albums, Liquid Tension Experiment (1998) and Liquid Tension Experiment 2 (1999), are filled to the brim with everything from blazing, chops-laden sonic attacks ('Paradigm Shift') to melodic anthems ('When The Water Breaks') to humorous jams ('Chris And Kevin's Excellent Adventure').
The improvisational nature in the writing sessions permitted the band to stretch out to many different influences, including rock, metal, prog, funk, blues and even ragtime.
