Dream Theater’s Jordan Rudess on The MetalSucks Podcast #556

Dream Theater keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess is back on the MetalSucks Podcast! In this episode, we discuss Rudess’ new solo album Permission To Fly, which is available right now! Throughout our chat, we also learn more the contest that lead to his music videos for the album, his daughter’s involvement in the album, and the artists that joined the project this time around. We’d be remiss if we didn’t chat about the massive Dream Theater tour that’s coming up and the future of his solo song on the live stage.

Petar and Sylvia tackle the Jane’s Addiction onstage meltdown, Dave Growl letting the world know he now has a second family, and Bon Jovi saving someone from a tragic decision.
