a little pompous of him thinking that the band should not go on without him
 
Wow.... did not see that coming
the end of an era, or the beginning of a new one :confused:
I love his playing, he always has way more under the hood than he is laying on the table, and he lays a lot on the table :yes:
 
Finally, we don't have to hear his bullshit backup vocals on Dream Theater songs anymore. :lol: :LOL:
 
They haven't put out a good album since Metropolis Part 2 IMO. Couldn't care less about them now. :lol: :LOL:

I just said the same thing on Facebook, except Train of Thought.
 
I kinda saw that happening,he plays with other bands and I saw that as him testing the waters. Good drummer but he seems like an ego IMO
Now can the singer and we'll be on to something.
 
Pretty shocking news, but at the same time, almost not a surprise?

I don't think that's what he was getting at.
 
Wow... Never saw that coming.
Humm, I wonder who's going to replace him ?

Yeah.. I didn't get that reading the article at all. Seemed he was tired of playing sports and needed a break :lol: :LOL:
 
I call Richard Christy.


If I'm right, someone owes me something. Free guitar strings or some shit. :lol: :LOL:
 
I respect the hell outta that band but theyve pretty much bored the shit out of me lately and could care less about them.
 
Good!

I happen to think while he is a great drummer, he was the problem with the band....well other than the singer hahaha!

He has always come off as a bit of a pompous ass, and this sort of confirms it, while he might have started the band, the whole team is greater than the sum of it's parts, guess he doesn't feel that way.

Oh well, perhaps they will write their best cd now, SFAM was awesome but everything else kinda stunk after that IMO and hopefully they will have a breath of fresh air, oh and bring Derek Sherinian back! I know Jordan is an awesome keyboard player, but honestly he plays the same shit all the time!!!!

/end rant

Got darn I wish James The Cheese would leave and they got a good singist in,,,,
 
I say grab the drummer from Porcupine Tree and go back to their roots and less metal. Personally, they should have just taken a 3 year hiatus. Either way, I won't lose any sleep.
 
It's a big shock to me. I've never been a dream theater fan, i respect it but it never did it for me,however mikes drumming on the new Avenged Sevenfold album was amazing and i look forward to hearing more of him.
 
I hope this means Portnoy will get back to working with Mikael Akerfeldt and Steve Wilson. I've been dying to hear that project come to fruition.
