The only Dream Theater album I ever bought and really listened extensively to was Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory, which is honestly fucking fantastic. I've heard some of their other stuff, and Portnoy is a fantastic drummer. Hopefully if he's not sticking with them, he'll go on to do something else that's really good.


Who likes role-playing games? Me. Way too goddamn much.

I am glad I got to see them live this last year then... this is sad news but from the sounds of the interview I somehow feel that he will return


Let's assume it's a mixture of the two!

Meh.

The man is a talented drummer, I actually find this news to be good. They need to lose the rest to better things, or get Mike back and get him to bring a decent vocalist with him.

I don't like Dream Theatre but this is a surprise even for myself. I am sure the fans aren't taking it well. He is a fantastic drummer and i hope he is successful in his future projects.

How you go from Dream Theater to Avenged Sevensuck, I don't know. I can only hope he'll influence them and make them better, which could end up being good for commercial radio... but the populace won't allow that.


RIP Hacker.

Given that I'm not a particularly avid Dream Theatre fan, I neglected to read the article. In light of this new information, I completely rescind my previous statement.

Fuck you, Mike Portnoy.
