So Basically The Winery Dogs Rock

The Winery Dogs features Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan and Richie Kotzen. Basically, anything that Kotzen is involved in or with, I love. He's a great singer, guitar genius and so underrated. I wish more people knew of his talent.

I've heard a lot of fans of Portnoy (and old Dream Theater) are having trouble getting used to the simpler drum patterns of The Winery Dogs. The Winery Dogs are just a straight up rock band and I dig it. The world needs more stripped down rock n' roll without a million gimmicks. Do you agree?
