Last night saw the annual CLASSIC ROCK awards and our very own DREAM THEATER was honored with the “Spirit Of Prog” achievement award!
The award was presented to Mike Portnoy by Prog legend Rick Wakeman who added that he couldn’t have been happier for it to go to such a worthy recipient (and joked that he was jealous he wasn’t getting it)!
The star studded event was attended by such legends as Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, Pete Townshend of The Who, Ron Wood of The Rolling Stones, Brian May of Queen, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Jeff Beck, Paul Rodgers of Bad Company, Iggy Pop, Slash of Guns N Roses, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, Ginger Baker of Cream, Chrissy Hynde of The Pretenders, Carl Palmer of ELP and members of Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Anvil, Marillion, ZZ Top, Uriah Heep and Mott The Hoople.
An initial rundown of the winners can be found HERE.
Dream Theater also was nominated in the “Album Of The Year” category for their latest release ‘Black Clouds & Silver Linings’.
Roadrunner Records are very pleased to announce the signing of legendary guitarist Slash for the forthcoming European release of his debut solo album, “Slash”, in Spring 2010.
Slash is one of the most iconic musicians of all time. His song writing, playing and performing through Guns N Roses, Slash’s Snakepit, Velvet Revolver and a host of collaborations and guest appearances has inspired and entertained millions worldwide. Since exploding onto the music scene in 1987 with Guns N’ Roses “Appetite For Destruction”, still the fastest selling debut album of all time, Slash has become one of the best loved and critically acclaimed guitarists of his generation. Time magazine, as recently as August 2009, named Slash as # 2 on the list of 10 Best Electric Guitar Players of All Time.
Slash’s debut solo album will see him collaborating with some of the world’s most vital contemporary artists – from the rock world and beyond. The album is set to become an essential release.
