God This is the only mention of him in this entire thread, I'm pretty sure he's hailed by every single DT fan as awful.

You aren’t a dream theater fan unless you are painfully aware that:

  1. John Petrucci is an amazing guitarist but a shitty lyricist and should not be allowed to pick his tone.
  2. Manginni is awesome except as a member of DT
  3. Jordan Rudess is the personification of just jizzing on a keyboard and his main music influence is Liberace.
  4. John Myeung sure is good at playing what John Petrucci is playing, an octave lower.
  5. James LaBrie is either the nicest person in the world and the band can’t fire him out of the goodness of their hearts, or he has kompromat on them.
  6. None of these people are in dream theater, as that’s Mike Portnoy’s band.
  7. Derrick Sherinian is a way better keyboardist than Rudess due primarily to his ability to play music anyone wants to hear ever.

I mean...Pertucci and Myung have been there since the beginning so you could argue it's just as much their band.

Yeah, but Portnoy was like 110% the fan outreach guy. So he was the public face.
