No, Dream Theater is still around, but Mike Portnoy was given the opportunity to build his dream band a few years back. He picked Jordan Rudess for keyboard and Tony Levin from Peter Gabriel's band for bass. Then he couldn't find a guitarist, so he just took John Petrucci. Thus Liquid Tension Experiment was born. Fundamentally Dream Theater minus a singer and minus John Myung.
So why not create a third band for Mike, composed of average joes from around the continent?
