This is linked in the thread about the Sykes/Portnoy project in General Music Discussion already. Which is probably a better place to discuss it than here.

Richie Kotzen joined Poison in 1993.  Their career promptly went into the toilet for several years.

Paul Gilbert left Mr. Big in 1997.  Richie Kotzen joined.  The band broke up.

Mike Portnoy should stay far away from Richie Kotzen.

A) Both those bands were established, successful bands.  This one is completely new, so they have no place to go but up, and
2) Looking at the music industry at the time, both of those bands were already on their way out of the spotlight anyway.

I know.  I just like to point out the coincidence with both of those bands.

Is he the Ted McGinley of rock?

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

I swear to God, I was going to refer to him as the Ted McGinley of rock, but figured nobody would get the joke.
