(Rock AAA) It's been a dramatic year for Dream Theater, with founding member and effective bandleader Mike Portnoy suddenly quitting.

But the prog metal outfit's lead guitarist says that wasn't the worst moment of his year � that came when the band were on tour in support of their heroes, Iron Maiden.
