    Ask him if he's ever heard of Rockin' Rich Lynch.

    More details on which Rush album(s) caused him to jump off the bandwagon. He's said he lost interest when they stopped being prog and when they got too much into keyboards, but he doesn't give specifics. Did he like Signals but bail out with Grace Under Pressure? Or did he hang on until Power Windows and jump ship with Hold Your Fire? What album(s) if any, got him back in the Rush camp? I want more specifics on which Rush albums don't meet his expectations of what Rush should sound like and if his opinion of them has changed over time, i.e. has he warmed up to Presto or Counterparts if he didn't like them originally?
    You say Mega Ultra Deluxe Special Limited Edition Extended Autographed 5-LP, 3-CD, 4-DVD, 2-BlueRay, 4-Cassette, five 8-Track, MP4 Download plus Demos, Outtakes, Booklet, T-Shirt and Guitar Pick Gold-Leafed Box Set Version like it's a bad thing...

    Is he completely done with Adrenaline Mob, or is he on temporary hiatus?

    Does he have any projects on the calendar that he hasn't announced?

    What has he been listening to lately (excepting his own projects, of course)?

    Is playing smaller clubs with his current projects at all a letdown after playing bigger venues with Dream Theater? And to balance that out, what elements are more fulfilling to him now than when DT was his main gig (i.e. different musical directions/challenges, more positive personalities, etc...)?

    Ask him if he's aware that according to Google Analytics, soundpress.net gets an average of 1.1 visitors a day spending an average of 2 minutes and 27 seconds. On second thought don't bother asking. Mike is a friend and a business associate. I already emailed him.

    First off -- our traffic is much more substantial than -- our own STAT service attests to that. The radio show also gets more attention in total than the site does through it's outlet on YOUTUBE, I-Tunes and the PODCAST broadcaster. The interview with Mike went well and will be aired next week... here's the link to the show page, you can see the history of all the acts I've interviewed there.
