DREAM THEATER's drummer Mike Portnoy recently sat down in Barcelona with Sergi Ramos from TheMetalCircus.com and spoke about several topics such as family life on the road, new business models for releasing albums and having a taste of being a record company by releasing the official bootlegs of his own band. "I have this immense archive that I want to share with the fans" says Portnoy. "Because I know what it is to be a fan".

The drummer also spoke about RADIOHEAD's recent internet only release of a new album where fans were asked to pay whatever they felt like. "I envy them," said Portnoy. "I think it's awesome that they can do it and I love the fact that the album is so quickly available (...). Regarding the fans choosing their own price...that could be financial suicide for them but in a way it's also kind of cool because it shows it's not just about the money for them".
