11. Jordan Rudess - The Dark Eternal Night

Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess drags bombastic synth soloing kicking and screaming into the modern era with his wicked widdly on the Haken Continuum Fingerboard. Here it drives an equally cutting edge Roland V-Synth.

Rudess has earned his place as a modern keyboard hero with his precise yet energetic performances. The rawk grimacing probably helps a bit, too. Well, we're sold, anyway. Savvy viewers will note the dangerous-looking and slightly Klingonese keytar hanging in the background. The man has no fear!
