Seriously, the guy should just shut up and move on in life. He chose to quit the band and now the band wants to continue without him, so he has a problem? What a whiny ah. I am no DT fan, but I really hope their next album without him is among their most succesful.

Well, it's more of the same drama really, isn't it? Portnoy's been whining since he left the band - why he expects the others HAVE to listen to him is beyond me.

I posted a few comments over there:

Mike is being an arrogant prick. I hope he doesn't come back after being a backstabbing fucking asshole about the whole thing. He leaves and is pissed off by the reaction? Fuck him.

And this is the guy who left a pretty good band for a crappy band with no talent in A7X :rolleyes:

I just wish DT would hurry up and announce who the new drummer is and get started on their next album. MP should just move on DT isn't about him anymore and there's no need for all the drama. The others wanted to continue and didn't need time off, he's the one so involved with other acts but his ex band mates still have to make a living also.

Portnoy and Timo Tolkki should start a band together.

Interview with LaBrie. Portnoy doesn't seem to be coming out of this at all well, but then again, I thought Dino and Burton were in the wrong over the Fear Factory mess so who knows.

Seems to be a pretty nice chap. The other band members have definitely been more dignified than Mike.

Portnoy: "Well, I knew my proposal would be met with some shock and hesitation, but I honestly hoped the guys would see my need for a break or a hiatus and respect it. It's not the most insane request in the history of rock... MANY bands have done it, only to return bigger and stronger than before. SOUNDGARDEN, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, JANE'S ADDICTION, FAITH NO MORE, ALICE IN CHAINS, MEGADETH, PHISH, etc"

How on Earth can anyone think any one of those bands was better after the hiatus?

On another note I'm extremely tempted to make a Philip Roth joke.

I don't know. Of course, he didn't actually say that.

Apparently Portnoy tried to rejoin, but was told to fuck off.

:lol:

Man there's a lot of animosity in this thread. :blink:

Now that Portnoy's been booted from Avenged Sevenfold (and rightly so), and was refused from rejoining DT, maybe we'll see some more Transatlantic stuff. Here's hoping he gets back on the Prog train, anyway, it's where he belongs.

And yeah, I'm hoping the next DT album will be the best since ToT. :dio:
