Personally, I don't know. However, I will say that all of the endorsed artists with EBMM that I have met were certainly down to earth, nice, friendly and approachable people. No "I'm a rock star" mentality. The Open House was great as all the artists took time from their busy schedule to be there for us and to put up with our questions, pics and autograph seeking.
Steve Morse, Vinnie Moore, John Petrucci, Luke, Tony Levin, Dave LaRue were simply wonderful and really cool. Plus, their playing goes without saying. Simply awesome....
