Dream Theater’s Mike Portnoy At Record Store Day

by User ImageMetal Martyr on April 20th, 2008

For those that do not know, Record Store Day was a day to celebrate and emphasize the importance of independent records stores. Not only are independent records stores a great place to pick up records but they are a cultural icon. Even though I encourage and support legal internet downloads I still like to be able to go into a small record store and look through their catalog and see what they have. Sometimes you can find some rarities and cds at good prices. Although larger stores like F.Y.E. have a great selection you can bet that the prices will be higher than most places and the employees are clueless about what they have and what it is about. They have to look in the computer if you ask them if they have something. Smaller, independent records stores usually hire employees that have a love for music and are knowledgeable in different genres. Getting to the video, various bands and artists came together to support Record Store Day to include Prog Metal Icons Dream Theater and Metal Icons, Metallica. Below is Dreamtheater’s Mike Portnay.
