I was in a rented - makeshift studio under a hair salon in King's Park one time with some friends.
DT was working on the song "to live forever"
When Charlie was still in the band, and before the geoff tate clone thankfully they didn't keep.
Mike was having a hard time thinking of a pattern for the song.
He went up to the old Majesty Van, and came back with a copy of Big Generator by YES.
Played the song "Aim High Shoot Low" and copied it plain and simple. If you listen to the 2 songs... tell me he didn't steal the beat verbatim. That's not influenced, it's stolen, and very ghey. I lost all respect for him then.
Read any MD isuue with an interview of him, and you'll see that his "influences" appear too influenced to most drummers that hear him.
I am not saying that he's a bad drummer, he isn't I just think he should be more original, like the guys I listed above.
