Would Mike ever consider working with Geoff Tate or Chris DeGarmo in the future?
MP: Yeah I would. As much as I don’t like what they’ve done musically in the last 10 years, I do have a lot of respect for them. It’s obvious what they are capable of. So if I was to work with them, I’d try to ‘help’ the direction so that it would make me more musically satisfied. But I really admire both of those guys as musicians. I would welcome a collaboration any time.
