Dream Theater drummer and living prog metal legend Mike Portnoy has revealed that he almost secured a rather unlikely temporary gig recently - having been offered the chance to play with none other than Canadian arena rockers Nickelback.
Speaking to Drumeo in a brand new interview, the drummer - who recently rejoined Dream Theater after 13 years - is challenged to play Nickelback classic Burn It To The Ground after hearing it for the very first time. While quickly learning the track, the beloved musician explains that despite not knowing much Nickelback material, he was actually approached by the band to temporarily replace Daniel Adair.
