SW has a much more inflated ego than Mike definitely. Anyway, on topic, I hope that they scrapped a couple of the tracks they played live. As someone said earlier, they weren't that great, but there were some good ones. THe long track in particular was really good. Its obvious now that SW is all about his metal influences, so if you dont like that sound incorporated in PT's music, I can't say you'll like how they've progressed of late. I like it I suppose, but I wonder how the rest of his band feels about it all. Gavin seems like the only one that really gets into the live shows. Beanie and Barbieri seem kinda bored whenever they play, though im not sure if thats related to the new direction.
