The situation in America is when it starts moving there, all the bands from England move over to America and work from there, so that they're available all the time for everyone that wants them in person.
When Dream Theater first started, we were touring in a van and playing clubs.
We never got on a big, big tour, but we did a lot of spot dates.
The band that I always wanted to tour with was Pantera, and we got to tour with them twice.
I go out with my band six months of the year and the rest of them with the Blues Brothers.
This band - because this is myself on electric and acoustic guitars - we've done three tours together now and I really, really like it which is why I did the DVD as well.
Modifidious was my first real band.
I know of dude-bands who've brought big, crazy dogs on tour. Everybody loves their animal.
My dad and mom were in bands: the Soda Jerks, Fat Time, Girls at Play - which is a play on Men at Work.
In 1969, I was playing guitar in several rock bands that toured central Florida.
If you're not in a major city, many bands don't come your way, and you have to really travel to see them.
