Mike Portnoy's trick

[walchallen]

porque todo lo bueno lo hacen en argentina jeje

[EsreverEmordnilap]

:08 pound it

[Danrm95]

What a great thrower and catcher he is!!

[aakkoin]

I don't even like Portnoy... but that was cool

[markusdudeable]

Chuck Norris on the drums?

[BrolySuperSaiyen]

@markusdudeable Fuck chuck norris. Portnoy Awesomeness!!!

[MarianOctavarium]

Yo estuve ahi :D mi primer G3, y que G3 ! Petrucci opaco al pobre Eric Johnson jaja pero estuvo re piola !

[USAon3]

"For my next trick, I shall throw away my DT career...and it too shall come right back to--

--oh wait."

trololololol

[AceMasterDX]

Portnoy high-fived Petrucci

[pitpossum55]

uhh que momento ese.. yo estuve ahi jjeje

[pontiacgrrl]

La hazaña no es de él, sino del que le tira el palito a la mano... Vamos, yo también soy fanática de Dream Theater y adoro a Mike, pero no lo idolatremos al pedo.

[masterofhi50]

he did that with A7X when i saw them live and i flipped out...IT WAS SO COOL

[overcontrol]

MANGINI SUCK IT

[g2g4m10]

I think he just threw it back stage and then of his tech just threw it back. Its not a boomerang

[nnero0]

@g2g4m10 Ooooh, and you figured all that out by yourself??

[g2g4m10]

@nnero0 No but some retards where actually commenting that he threw it like a boomerang. So I wrote this for the retards

[FreezeDrums]

@g2g4m10 Have you heard of sarcasm?

[essengeebee]

Very funny Mike! I wish they would play some of Petrucci's solo music when they come to Manchester.

[xdrumgian]

eso estuvo bueno!!!

[kaper75]

Four idiots are too jealous, to like it. :D

[felphero]

i don't get it what's so special? he throws it at someone the guy catches it and throw it back...wtf

[Dieseldemen]

@felphero nice job on appreciating great entertainment. why dont you try it then since it's so simple and not awesome to see him keep a beat and throw and catch his drum stick ALL at once. Yeah cant wait to see your vid!! (eye roll)

[felphero]

@Dieseldemen look you got me wrong, it sure is a nice trick, would be fucking awesome and funny to see that on a show, what bugged me is that everybody is like "OMG WTF HOW DOES HE DO THAT IS HE A JEDI?! OMG OMG HAVE SEX WITH ME!"

i mean use 1% of your brain and figure it out, it's not magic geez

[Dieseldemen]

@felphero alright well my 1% of brain power tells me that no one here is thinking its magic!! There enjoying and awesome vid of someone performaning something that is very very difficult to do. But magic is similar to what he is doing or better yet call it juggling. in case your not aware of juggling. Thats where someone or two people(like in the vid) throw multiple opjects at each other and they catch and throw at the same time kinda like in the vid but it was with one stick so not quite LOL

[felphero]

@Dieseldemen lol look if you wanna call Portnoy's drumming "magic" I'm all for it, but this was just a trick, a nice one, but a trick noneless,

you know what would be really awesome, if he like did that multiple times and accordingly to the beat, throws it gets it back throws it gets it back...more so like juggling, that would have me and my girlfriend and everybody on the building unzipping our pants for him

[Dieseldemen]

@felphero now there was some good clean ball busting right there!!!!!

[FirebrandNIRE]

@felphero

I know, not exactly rocket science. Its amazing the things that interest most folk :-/

[steelJ4RV1S]

@FirebrandNIRE lets see you try

[FirebrandNIRE]

@steelJ4RV1S

And how do you think that's going to happen? Telepathy?

[steelJ4RV1S]

@FirebrandNIRE you dare underestimate my powers?

[SebaChannel]

[paiste009]

[fluffyabyss]

Portnoy does Beatles covers with Yellow Matter Custard aswell.

[AquaKent3]

And thats how a boomerang works kids

[Shady32]

He did that in the Avenged Sevenfold concert in Barcelona

[TheMatheusmetal]

Wh... Wha... What Fuck Is That? Damn ninjas, I can't see their movements

[namtneliseht]

Gracias a todos por los comentarios.

Thanks all for the comments

[sleepy5zzz]

i saw him do this live! it was awesome and he threw the stick while standing up and playing haha only him

[RikkudoSennin]

LMAO! What a guy! Only Mike Portnoy would be able to pull that off. :p

[dwsag]

@RikkudoSennin excuse me what means LMAO :D

[RikkudoSennin]

@dwsag LMAO means "Laugh My Ass Off". =)

[dwsag]

@RikkudoSennin thanks! :D

[CobTheDrummer]

Portnoy you have completed your training as a Jedi and you are now a master >:D

[TheSergei5555]

What is that???????

[AngryLlamaAttack]

why are they playing joe satrian song LLOL

[bowlingfor1]

@AngryLlamaAttack It's a song from John Petrucci's solo album, it's called "Curve"

[namtneliseht]

@bowlingfor1 Correct!

[bowlingfor1]

@namtneliseht LOL i know it's correct, I'm a great fan of John Petrucci :P

[namtneliseht]

@AngryLlamaAttack Sounds kinda Satriani

Satriani = Mr Melody

[jdu6]

@AngryLlamaAttack i think they do a-lot of cover tunes

[thepacci1]

0:09 WTF xDD ! es como si la baqueta se la llevaran al espacio wn xD !

[Andres220896]

uno de los mejores????

NAAAA el es el mejor!

[btevoxboy6835]

Prob got pissed at the sound guy. So he killed him with his drum stick

[1ut4d3l1ll3]

Mike Portnoy's Boomerang stick :)

[LMTR14]

thumbs down for a non-English description

[DrummingNonStop]

what the fuck just happened....

[StrangeNipples]

looks like John Petrucci is reaching into a different plane to take the drumstick from mike

[MattHellwing]

he's a jedi

[jake61072]

MAGNETIC HANDS!!!!!!!!!only mike!!!

[jolecage4]

Of course...........and why not?

[jake61072]

only mike portnoy.

[jdawg6893]

he did this when I saw him playing with avenged sevenfold me and my friend were like the only ones in the audience that noticed

[DrummingNonStop]

@jdawg6893 it would be impossible to tell if you were the only ones who noticed.. just sayin

[jdawg6893]

@DrummingNonStop ok well no one reacted to it so i assumed something as ridiculous as that people would react uk

[TheDrummercook]

heah

[JMartinsATV]

Now THAT's a story! "Hey honey, I caught one of Portnoy's drumsticks, and guess what? He didn't have any left, so I threw it back at him!"

[DustyShaneY]

lol at 0:27, John was about ot grab it from another perspective, He can do that you know.

[JMartinsATV]

@DustyShaneY He's that good

[zevvay]

when i saw them he did that during panic attack

[MRLauTa]

THAT is really progresive!

[jdawg00100]

@haydenwce27 Technically he wanted to be in DT, the band said no its not ganna work, so portnoy walked. Portnoy is a part of DT, call it what you want. When someone wants to help with a side project and the band says no, I would even call that something a little more aggressive than "kicked out".

[psychometaldrummer]

@jdawg00100 Obviously you have no idea of what happened. Mike was too involved in his side projects, and wanted DT to take a two to five year break from music, and they said no. Mike wanted to stay in DT, but he wanted them to take time off just because he was busy. I don't blame them for asking him to move on.

[jdawg00100]

@psychometaldrummer I thought it was like a one year tour with A7X and DT flipped a dick. I say Portnoy should be the first person to get a break from the band. Long term tour dates can stress and put a strain on your family

[psychometaldrummer]

@jdawg00100 No man, read the interviews with all of them. DT was super cool about letting Mike tour with A7X, it was only after that Mike wanted them to take a break of like two years, and they said no.

[jdawg00100]

@psychometaldrummer Mike Portnoy was dream theater, its too weird to think of dt without him in it

[jdawg00100]

No wonder he got kicked out of DT, John probably thought they were cheering for him

[Reilly444]

HOW EVEN DOES?!

[KornSOAD]

He did that during the A7X show I saw in Irvine last month. hahaha. It was so sickk.

[hotsupernickels]

Didn't drop a beat!!!

[noconfig]

Unbeliavable!!

[12345678992588]

amzing

[picklevai16]

that was awesome



[Da7xT]

hahahaha petrucci mustve been like "huh? why are they all goin crazy?"

[juancamote]

jajaja que mamón! Buenazo el wey!

[yoyosambero]

LMFAO!! thats so fucking great

[Crackatoa009]

WTF? COOL HAHA

[drumsanddrumming]

That was good;)

[LHAOmasterbeater]

Bet Petrucci thought the crowd was screaming because of him.

[dimasdeepunx]

bisa balik lagi stik drum nya..whahaa..

nyobain akh ntar pas latihan..

[Shitloger]

I think he juste back foward the vidéo and let the sound track continue but mike is the best

[zakdagger]

@Shitloger Uh, no.

[N5Gabe]

@Shitloger No, no. Check the guitarists right arm!

[hjalmar97]

@N5Gabe yes it wasnt near the stick..?

[N5Gabe]

@hjalmar97 0:9 - JPs right arm is up in the air (the stick fly away :) )

0:13 - JP is playing with his right arm (the stick comes back)

[Flaitesexy]

THE BOMERANG STICK!!

[Platinumham]

Would be amazing if Petrucci did the same with his picks xD!

[bongomaster12345]

imagine if he missed the stick he probably would still recover or just use 1 hand

[LazerRazor7]

MP can timewarp too

[glacier2win]

My idol.

[EduNascimentoDrummer]

haha! yoyo drumstick!

[FullUser]

portnoy es el único que puede controlar su baqueta con la mente y hacerla volver

Portnoy is the only one that can control his ramrod with the mind and make it return :P

[dlikor]

wtf !!! ... increible ... ya lo habia visto con el percucionista de carlos santana .... pero mike es el mejor .... AGUANTE DREAM !!!

[gibson00000000000000]

how did he do that? because that was an amazing catch

[frankanizer]

I'm not a portnoy fan at all but that's a cool move!!!

[andrewbroughton65]

Great catch when the roadie threw it back huh ?!

[bakaDTlover]

Did John raise his hand on purpose? Was he waiting for Mike's sticks? I think so, LOL. Anyway, that's the best teamwork I've ever seen, LIVE :o

[lecastro37]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh­h! Awesome.

[LaMmMusic]

master!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dallyson]

ya sometimes when hes pissed he throw it at the singer of the band or whoever hes mad at, but he doesnt get it back then hahah

[INV8D3R]

Epic! He even managed to keep the beat of the song

[AKtifosi]

HE IS THE BEST :)

[budo902]

@AKtifosi When they came to bologna last november he did it something like 3or4 times...awesome...

[Quietus5]

That's discipline. The guy's still ipressive after all these years.

[Guyverhoeven]

wtf does he do?

[odiofatal12]

WTF!!!

AWESOOOOOME! :O

[alienspent]

I have seen Mike do this live.

[alereggiani]

[GlitchHalo]

hahaha that's awesome!

[huleso]

HOW!?!? : )

[Markkartur]

HAX, and what song is this? improvisation?

[RealBesty]

He's done this before with Dream Theater, but it's still a really neat touch - so long as it works!

[LeGourmand]

HACKS!

[DrummingEvil]

[ninjastep87]

No f-ing way!!

[Drumspiracy]
