As for John Myung, he's technically amazing as he tends to use 4 fingers. I tried that about 10 years ago, but realised I'd never have to play fast enough that I couldn't manage with 3. However, Dream Theatre are just sooooo awful. They should just wear capes and form a yes tribute band. For me the Rancid clip shows the true spirit of rock n' roll - that it should be fun and a bit wild - and that bass solo is pure adrenalin. But for me DT epitomise 'so what' about advanced technical proficiency in rock. There's no doubting John Myung's impressive skills on the bass but at the think of that clip I just thought.. 'meh' .
