What?
I don't think the greatest musicians in the world can save shit music.
It's "ignorant" just like claiming everything Russel has been involved in is "stellar"...
I just hope Portnoy doesn't sing or write lyrics...
Right, except I've heard all the music that Russell has been involved with so far and really enjoyed it all, so my opinion is based on having actually heard the music. Whereas there is no music to hear so far for this new project. Not the same .
I think the safest way to test this theory is to put together all of metal's best musicians and have them cover something truly dreadful, and see how it fares.
Have you heard the Candlemass cover of Don't Fear the Reaper?CoB makes good covers of crap songs and i would never hail them as the "greatest musicians" Metal is the genre of purgivity (made up word)
And cmon guys, how many times do i have to tell this board that 90% of DTs lyrics are from JP, and MP pretty much only does his saga and MAYBE put input into SOME other songs?...okay maybe that one other time, but its still too many.
Edit: I want to see a metal cover of rebecca black but done by known musicians and not shiity youtube shit. Only then will it prove that metal can make anything, well...metal.

You liked the song he sung for that Genius Rock Opera? I had to edit the damn thing just to make it tolerable.
