MIKE PORTNOY WEIGHS IN ON THE NEAL MORSE BAND's GUITARIST ERIC GILLETTE

"Brace yourselves for a new guitar hero in Eric Gillette! He is the new king of shred and feel! He reminds me a lot of my old partner in crime if you know who I mean!)"  -  Mike Portnoy

the phantom tollbooth : Review of Afterthought

Proving he can pretty much do it all, Eric Gillette's Afterthought is obviously much more than the title would imply – it's a well thought-out, well executed introduction to an artist that can walk in any of several musical directions from here. Gillette shows enough chops to become a guitar-hero, enough commercial viability to go more mainstream, the power to go into a harder, heavier arena sound, and the writing and playing ability to go deeper into prog territory.

Personally? I think I see a new progster in town.
