debatable.

EDIT: Suprised he likes Beatles over the Stones; says Stones are too much "stripped down rock n roll". Funny because the DT sound over the last 2-3 albums has been pretty "stripped down" metal and not very embellished.

yep Thanks for sharing as for the beatles side that does not surprise me beatles being a major influence for most of the prog band. "Abbey road" was (in fact still is) one hell of a prog album

Simple: He likes prog and metal, not rock and roll. Goo interview, thanks for the link!

I'm still waiting for someone to ask him about his latest studio and touring gear though, the new pickups, the Mark V, etc.

Everything else is in the instructional video, perhaps ...
