Roadrunner Records UK reports:
DREAM THEATER's Mike Portnoy was in the UK recently to attend the Classic Rock awards, and so we took the opportunity to sit down with him and put some of the questions you sent in for the Ask The Artist session to him.
Thanks so much to everyone who mailed in - this was the biggest response so far. Here are the answers to the questions we selected out of that vast response. Enjoy!
From Mike Corvin - Sperry, OK:
Q: Has Dream Theater ever considered scoring movie soundtracks?
A: "We would love to - we’ve talked about that our whole career, especially the instrumental side of us. Sometimes we’ll go off on these improv jam tangents which we ended up using a lot in the LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT. We would love to, we just need the right opportunity. Bands like PINK FLOYD used to do it back in the 60s and 70s, they scored a few films. I think we’d be able to come up with some cool shit so we’re just waiting for the invite."
