    This is great...really interesting and I wish there were more of these kinds of videos. For example, I'd love to see how Neil Peart would have played various Beatles songs. Strangely enough, this video really shows how great Lars is, in spite of himself. Dream Theater has always been a bunch of fantastic musicians who can't write a truly classic song. Metallica, on the other hand, has dozens of classic songs. Musicianship should never be confused with great art. Lars is a master arranger and knows how to highlight the SONG, not the drumming.
