  • what dvd was this off of?

  • WONK WONK WONK..THAts all THIS ROBOTIC ASSHOLE DOES..HE COULDNT EVEN COME CLOSE TO FILLIN MOONS ONE SHOE...

  • Kliph of the Flaming Lips made a more convincing tribute to him style wise imo.

  • Kieth Moon is the only drummer I know of that filled his floor tom up with water and put goldfish in it.

  • how you can distroy your drum duringa concert? some people woold like have some drums like this or that!!! you dont payed your drum and you need to have respect to your staff. iff your not happy send me your drum's to france i woold be very happy....

    d.dugrenier@laposte.net

  • @nadegebev because the who did it duh

  • this guy is not even close..wish him and barker would play bend over with each other, and really do what they do best...

  • monsters of fusion and jazz and prog that sheehan could never never reach...i mean a bassist has to groove...and has to have a bassy, mellow sound and support the groove of the song...sheehan is just ok to do this thing but his main thing is kicking in the distortion and tapping - flying over the neck using extra low action of the strings and so on.... but all these things steal from the original bass tone... so many of the bands he was in are really "treble" soundng..IMHO as always

  • @nemogre I agree with you totally, being a bassist myself, but you've got to think in a Who tribute band that kind of bass playing fits in.

  • @Martiluk1 i was never a who fan but a aspire to be one... ;)) Maybe youre right and i respect sheehan and i love mr big...but he is not a bass player per se...

  • @nemogre I totally agree.

  • and i myself truely respect him and i myself had gone through the phase of considering him the BEST BASSIST ALIVE (lol) when i wan first discovering cimplex and demanding music and shredders and odd time meters and so on but now after all those years of listening to music im pretty much sure that sheehan is only a basic rock bassist with awesome chops and the person that has incorporated many guitar technics in the bass playing but he is very very overrated because there are out there many many

  • PORTNOY Said about sheehan...the best bass player alive.... how wrong can this statement be??? What is this...? a competition? I mean ok sheehan is a shredder monster but as an overall bassist (dont forget that the bass is not meant to be a LEAD instrument) i believe there are better bassists out there... The guy doesnt have the theoretical or influential background to be in a band like planet x for instance...He is very very flashy and this is way people tend to overrate him..

  • there will never be another like him

  • Alls he did was talk,I thought he was gonna do a few drum solos,LOL

  • i don't know why but those snare fills on amazing journey just sound wrong

  • For all the ignorant! This is from his detailed DVD Mike Portnoy in "Constant Motion" and it gives a lot of details about his inspirations and what he has done so far. Mike Portnoy has been the engine of Dream Theater and whatever he has done is golden. Now that he isn't in DT there are still amazing projects he is working on at the moment. He shall be missed dearly in DT it won't be the same. This video talks about how he is influenced by Keith Moon,the playing is later. God people are dumb.

  • did anyone else notice that mike said john entlis?

  • is that just me or it is weird to Portoy sitting behind a 5 piece set? :-)

  • @mukzi its an 8 piece including the snare but its still wierd:P

  • how much did the kit cost you

  • Now now, the guy is a blowhard and he CAN back it the fuck up you blowhards who cant play as good as the all time (ME)! I do however think he got kicked the fuck out of (Patruci's) Dream mutha fucking Theater. Now there is a musician that made Mike who he is! Or they complimented each other as fate will have it. After I get drunk, I can and do change my mind whenever the fuck I want!...Im just pissed I only saw them once. And they had to share the stage with Queens R.

  • SHUT UP AND PLAY!!!

  • You are right Mike!!! Keith is actually "worse" than you!!!

  • Why didn't he PLAY?????????? I wanna see "A Quick One While He's Away."

  • "But enough about me, let's talk about you... what do YOU think of me?" This guy is the most obnoxious, self-promoting, egotistical blowhard I've ever seen. I don't care what talent he might have as a drummer: I can't get past the fact that I think he's truly a self-obsessed fucking asshole. He is the Geraldo Rivera of drumming.

  • @gitchigoomi LMFAO!!!!!! You are sooooooo right.Besides.. he's not that good of a drummer anyway...

  • @gitchigoomi Wow, we have some idiots watching this video. this was an interview it is supposed to be about the person you are interviewing. Also, every word mike said in this was about Keith, HIS set, why Mike himself respects HIM, and the tour Mike put on to show the people of today how awesome KEITH was. Obviously you are just butthurt about Mike for some reason, and didn't even bother watching the video.

  • @KelLorien You're probably Portnoy. He's seems to me enough of an egomaniac to defend himself using an alias on his own post.

  • i thought mike portnoy was from tropic thunder

  • One of the things that I love about Mike is his appreciation for rock music, its history and pioneers. It takes humility to have such appreciation, and I am most certain that such respect will given back by those who appreciate Mr. Portnoy's playing and influence.

  • @BarbarosDerby132 yeah Mike is a real rock music encyclopedia lol

  • I honour Mike Portnoy for doing this tribute. Something he carried on from childhood, being the Who and Keith Moon fan.

  • problem with any tribute band is the advances in technology and guitar "sound" is way different than the original. And even if they try to play "vintage" instruments, they put they're own shredding style into it.

    All these young cats get is the boring "Fwee' sound of their gear !

    you know it...that stupid harmonic feedback sound popularized by EVH My original 1969 "Tommy" album was borrowed by an acquaintance (among many others) and never returned...Tony Potts. - you owe me !!

  • keith played premier not tama

  • what the drum set up of MR mon

  • Moon used this configuration from '66-'72. Get yer facts right Portnoy. Wat a lucky dude.

  • hey! i'm from chicago!!! yay me!

  • vankabel

    what are you on about, if you hate kieth moon why are you watching a tribute video of him you fuckin hypocrite. get a life and a valid opinion while your at it. idiot

  • @MrT go suck a dick. Who is he to do a tribute? He's Mike fucking Portnoy. Oh wait, I have no idea who that is, Dream Theater rings a bell, but thats not the point. Moon is one of his idols, the drummer from his favorite childhood band. I say right on for doing a tribute. It's not like he was doing crappy covers. It's not like he doesn't have his own material. It's not like he doesn't give credit where credit is due.

  • You dont pay tribute to someone by copying someone who cant be copied. You can play like someone without copying every little fill. Watch Zak Starkey when the who played the superbowl. Zak for those who dont know is Ringo Starr's son. He knew Keith as a kid and Keith gave him his drums as a first set in the 70's. Zakk plays like Keith with taste and not like a bad imitation. Another like Keith drummer is Clem Burke from blondie...check out "living in the real world"

  • @MrTripletts You don't pay tribute to someone by copying someone who can't be copied? And when did you become the guy responsible for making this assessment? Anyone can make any tribute anytime they see fit the exact way they see fit, so while you are entitled to your opinion your projection of it is moot & for naught. You isolate a particular tribute you deem pertinent & coin it ubiquitously as letter of some forlorn law you've conjured. Brilliant & ever so overbearing. Way too transparent.

  • @MrTripletts He's well known in the music world as one of the best living drummers and he loved Keith Moon. Why not pay a tribute? Especially if he's able to play the drums for the songs.

  • i agree with all of you!that vankabel shut up fool!

  • Moon makes people love drums PERIOD !

  • @vankabel Haha your such a freak. he was an amazing drummer cause what made him good was he played differently

  • @vankabel hahha, I had to laugh at your comment. I bet your the kind of guy that would be the most boring fuckin cunt ever if anyone had the unfortunate accident of meeting u in a bar.HE DIDNT RESPECT HIS INSTRUMENT haha. what kind of stupid comment is that! He lived each day as if it was his last, he put more effort in to each show than you have put into anything ur whole braindead life.

    Thats why HE IS who HE IS and U are who U are! A FUCKING NOBODY WHO WILL NEVER MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ANY1.

  • @vankabel Fuck that Moon ALL DAY AND NIGHT BITCHES in the boys house/car !

  • That would be a fun set up to play.  Surprised that he uses all crash cymbals, as Keith used two rides and a crash.

  • Nice voice, you should work in radio.

  • Love the double row drum set from the later years, it is still the coolest looking drum set to me. Would love to play a set like that to see what it feels like, no hihat, not many sets like that.

  • 4:00 LOL

  • billy is the greatest bass player alive. lol what a slap in the face to john myung

  • @MFekz haha lol, yeah, myung will be when he is 50 tho :)

  • play it then you fuckin yanky shit talkin cunt.

  • keith moon is one lonely ,

    big peach

  • Egomaniac

  • or keith moon haha woops

  • i like mike alot but not bohnam no thank you

  • @conkareno what?

  • i was at the whittier one

    epic

  • its not meant to be a copy you idiot, its a tribute, A FUCKING TRIBUTE!!! portnoy knows he cant play like Keith Moon hes just paying homage to him in a way he knows best so stop getting angry over someone appreciating a legends art!

  • Lol,Moron, your th one angry, you dipshit, lol, if that is the way he knows best. he better not quit his day job...hes not even close....geezzeee...

  • wat the fuck does that even mean?!!! what point are you trying to prove to me?!!!!! all hes doing is playing who songs while trying to emulate an artist he likes!!! plus il think youl find the way he knows best could get him several day jobs apart from the one he has...cunt

  • Keith MOON!!

    like what Portnoy is saying......nobody can copy keith moon on the drums...not even him

    best drummer ive seen in my life

  • OMG 4:02 ...Mike is my hero!...

  • this was probably during "a quick one while he's away". keith would pick up his floor tom, play some stick clicks on it for 'soon be home', then picked it up and threw it for the 'daaaang! daaang! daaang!!... cello, cello, cello' part.

  • So you'd prefer watching Ringo Starr play a simple drum beat over and over and over again to watching Portnoy melt your face with his complex playing? I'm not saying that everything is all about virtuosity or that the meaning of the songs is not important, but there has to be some sort of balance between the 2. What's wrong with being good at an intrument?

  • Ur an idiot. Are you a musician? If so, I'm sad for you. If not, shut the hell up because you don't know what you're talking about. MP is one of our generations music hero's. He is ambassador of all music and his tribute bands were formed for the right reasons. With his success in DT, he has no other reason than respect to form these tribute bands.

  • Jesus Christ! Makes me fucking cringe, seeing drum kits smashed up :'(

  • i agree.....back in the sixties and seventies it was a statement

    nowadays instruments cost too damn much to be smashed up

  • Stop destroying kits!! It hurts to see such instruments being wrecked for fun.

  • That's why they make...MORE DRUMS so you can...oh I don't know, use them, lol.

  • No, you're mediocre.

  • Billy is the best bass player alive... What if john muyung were to here that!

  • I agreee I bet Myung was Pissed

  • wow 2:06

  • I don't think there will ver be a drummer as legendary as moon..

  • I hate destroying kits, I'm a drummer myself. But portnoy is my idol, he's god.

  • Notice Neil Pearts Huge kit in front of that when the camera turns around

  • PURPLE MONSTER TO THE RIGHT and a COPY OF THE KEITH MOON SET in the middle. imagine what that would be like..

  • i'm not a drummer, i'm a guitarit but i imagine it would be like playing david gilmores #1 strat *drools yeah, #1 strat *drools

  • when mike make a tribute band the guitarrist is always PAUL GILBERT

    they must be very close friends

    nice to see a tribute to a big drummer mike

  • I'm so happy to see that there are drummers out there that respect Keith.

  • @chrian31410 theres aint ANY drummer who doesen´t love keith

  • to bad keith was an un naturaly huge druggy

  • Not as much a druggie as an alcoholic. Shame he left :( R.I.P. Moonie

  • hate to play the smartass but alcohol is a drug

  • Point taken...

  • It's more of a poison than a drug.

  • Wow, I`m not a drummer but have been a big drum fan and a huge Moon fan ever since 67 and your description at the beginning is exactly how I would describe Keith. And Amazing Journey/Sparks from Live at Leeds cranked all the way is my ultimate track. It sounds like his drums are assaulting you from both speakers with a spontaneous frenetic and totally random run of fills...Well done...

  • That's incorrect. Peart claimed that attempts at covering his own drum work were childish. Portnoy got mad at him for it, and then Neil came out saying that he had meant it was childish for anyone EXCEPT Mike Portnoy to try it. Being recognized like that makes him the complete opposite of a loser. Get your facts straight. Also, while his favorite drummer is Neil Peart, his favorite band is the Beatles.

  • hats steve vai's bassist! hes awesome!

  • i no how he was able to play night after night

    he was so drunk all the time

    fuckin rock man

    moon rocks \m/

  • where does he say that not many people like keith moon? I never heard that, he said nothing but good things.

  • I respect him a lot more after this vid!

  • why he says that not many people like keith moon? How you could not like him? he's the best drummer there ever was!

  • he said that theres NOBODY LIKE HIM. Not nobody likes him.

  • AH, okay!

  • @dontdodat00O lol that is a good oneXD

  • mike your the man!!! yeah!!!

  • Thanks Mike! You are both brilliant

  • Great Job Mike. I am proud that you did this for Keith and The Who. Great tribute...wish I could have seen one of the shows.

  • i like stu for bass i think he plays with joe satriani sometimes

  • Brilliant !!!
