Ингви Мальмстин о песне "Under The Glass Moon" в 1993м году. Коммент про Портного, конечно, жжёт))
I have this on CD – it’s brilliant. Dream Theater is, by far, one of the best bands to come out recently. Musically, I think they’re really clever, and the guitarist and keyboardist are very good. A great band with the right attitude. They’re musical, technical, interesting, and tasteful – one of my absolute favorite bands at the moment. I have just one reservation about them: their drummer. His choice of beats is terrible! He’s obviously listened to too much Neil Peart (Rush) over the years and needs to take a valium.
As for the song, a great intro. I actually like even the drumming there. Another thing I like about this band, and this song, is that the group likes to use a lot of keyboards – everything from synthesizers to Hammond organs. Almost like Jan Hammer, which I think is great.
The guitar solo is very interesting; it’s like a who’s who of guitar playing. It starts off reminiscent of Steve Vai’s humbucky, distorted tone. Then the guitarist plays something similar to a harmonic minor run that I would do. Then he goes into a Stevie Ray Vaughn/Hendrix thing, which is splendid. I also hear some Brad Gillis and Michael Schenker. I’m not too crazy about his tone, however. Sounds like he’s using a Floyd Rose tremolo, humbucking pickups, and the string action is below the frets. I prefer lower-output pickups, no Floyd Rose, and very high strings. Therefore I get a more acoustic-type sound. But I really cant say anything bad about the guitarist in Dream Theater, because he’s good and very ambitious. I think in a couple more years he’ll have his own identity.
