Redundant?  Kind of like Neil's solo since 1994...much like Neil's signature ride cymbal groove?

yes.gif

Or his big band ending on every solo now?

 

PLEASE put that to rest, Mr. Peart!

I wonder what his Twitter response to this will be.

 

This must really suck for the Avenged Sevenfold guys. They expected Portnoy to just come in and record and album and tour but it turned into a huge drama filled shit fest.

Ah, yes...the work of a derivative, repetitive musician, who couldn't play drums to save his life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhedP71N9gQ

He REALLY sucks, doesn't he?

I doubt most are questioning his skills as a drummer; he is obviously a really good drummer. The problem with him for years has been that he loves to shoot his mouth about anything and anyone, but anyone who dares cross him will draw his wrath immediately. And he has acted like a self-centered, complete and total douchebag since leaving Dream Theater. Fortunately, the members of DT have all handled it all with total class, while Portnoy continues to embarrass himself and act like a child who is pissed because he didn't get his way.

I would like to see Portnoy play this correctly:

Yeah, your right, Portnoy is a terrible drummer. No skills at all.

Bye! bekloppt.gif

It's always disheartening to see a fellow musician who can't at least respect the skills of another, even if he/she doesn't like them.

 

You don't have to like Portnoy, but if you can't respect his talent as a musician, then you're just being closed-minded and petty. There ARE guys out there besides Neil and Gavin who can play the drums, you know.

My opinion about Mike would probably be the opposite, oddly. I used to be a mega DT fan back in the day and Mike was easily my favorite member. He represented the idea of a musical fan-boy living his dream come true. He seemed like a genuine good guy that I would enjoy spending time with. However, as a drummer, 062802puke_prv.gif Everything that I heard with Portnoy involved seemed a little too rehashed for my tastes.

 

Can he play drums? yes.gif

Skillfully and creatively? no.gif

Because he has his own style and does not have to prove Anything in the world of Drumming? Why don't you go to YouTube and check out Anything by Buddy Rich or Billy Cobham or Dennis Chambers and ask Neil or Gavin to play it? laugh.gif It would be funny to watch them try. They have their own style just as Portnoy does. We can just agree to disagree and leave it at that. trink39.gif
