Do you think KM is embarrassed he was in DT the same way Kevin Bacon is about being in Friday The 13th?
I think Kev goes in a never ending circle of DT ness. I mean from what I've seen he really doesn't really want or like the fame. But by being in Dream Theater, and not wanting the fame being the reclusive guy in the band he got the fame. Soooo Kev kinda Deny's Dream Theater or that he was ever in Dream Theater, but by doing that he get's talked about more (like we're doing right now) and so on, and so on.
Sorry for the silly post (shit did I just use the word silly, (shit did I do it again). But I felt like being funny. (or at least attempting it)
But really I do enjoy Kevin's Music and his contributions to DT's Music, Space-Dye Vest is probably my favorite song besides Metropolis Pt. 1. He's a very talented guy so it's not to far fetched that we talk about him so much. Also I don't think that Mike had as much "Control" during Awake, like others have said I think that Kev's taste in music or what he wanted to do Music wise changed.
