[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5701333, member: 34175"] Well, I Said I would drop a report if anything new came up with the Sykes/Portnoy project. Here is what is known for fact: The group is a power trio The music is over the top and very challenging technically for all involved They are currently in the studio laying tracks and doing post production work What is still unknown: The Bassist - several names have been thrown around - Dug Pinnik of King's X (but it has been confirmed he ISN'T the bass player) This rumor started when the three were tinkering around backstage at a taping of TMS (see below) Tony Franklin - IF this is the case you have 2/3 or Blue Murder. In a recent TMS interview Carmine Appice, the drummer for BM said that he and Sykes had worked on some material for a new BM album and tour, so this has a lot of legs. Billy Sheehan - The grand master of bass (David Lee Roth, Mr Big and others) - One reason this one is up and running is that the three of them seems to all be popping up in the same area around the same time. While there are no confirmed sightings of all of them together (except at a TMS taping where Mike and John make their announcement and Billy was the guest guitarist for the previous two episodes /they film four at a time/) What makes the Billy Sheehan story so strong is that TMS is taped in L.A. and the album in question is being recorded in N.Y.C. While all three at a taping of TMS could easily be seen as a coincidence, they were later spotted in N.Y.C. at roughly the same time, though in different locations, and then again in Orlando?? (New Orleans maybe, somewhere down south) again at the same time but in different locations. Whoever it is, one thing is for sure; it will be uber heavy progressive. Maybe not straight prog metal, but heavy prog rock at least. [/QUOTE]
