Mike Portnoy's Backstage Tour

[joshrochanroolzutoob]

@3:23 That is a killer setlist.

[zombiedrumma]

A few points I liked on this video:

1. John Myung is a genius.

2. "Buffs you up!" was hilarious.

3. IRON MIKE

4. His custom drumming shoes are in fact basically a custom drumming shoe.

5. "Ooouuh! Huhhey!" - James LaBrie

6. High five.

That is all.

[OminousMonsterDrum]

IRON MIKE

[anqipiqi]

can anybody tell me.. what's that shampoo?? 1:19

[Mayhem2414]

4:20 huhuhu!!!!! heheheyyy!!!

[zombiedrumma]

@Mayhem2414 Hmm, is it just a coincidence that at 4:20 that he made that funny sound. Maybe he was getting high in that room. If so, his definition of "warm-up" is different that I thought. "Do you appreciate the picture I am painting you?!?!" - Daniel Tosh. Point being, people who are stoned make funny noises.

P.S. Nope, Chuck Testa

P.P.S. Honey Badger doesn't care.

[scorpiones103]

no wonder why john petrucci is so booofff jaja is funny how mike said it!

[NYCGuitarist0221]

james never has chilled water because as a singer its not good for your voice ....cold water does effect the vocal chords alot ....

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

0:36 "albert einstein only ONE WORE outfit"...got your words mixed up there aye mike?

[lhc89]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls omg lol it seemed to flow that way I didn't even notice he mixed it up!

[vaxkors95]

Oh, I see a Futebol Clube do Porto shirt, from Portugal!!! yeah!!! xD

[theGREATkingKENA]

DID MIKE HAVE A PORNO MAGAZINE?! lmao

[zombiedrumma]

@theGREATkingKENA Well, ya know what they say, drummers like to play with their wood.

[anqipiqi]

@theGREATkingKENA I don't know if it's porn, but I saw in the magazine "dream theater" .. but mike covered it (that's weird), but this woman is just a drawing

[anthonymm777]

@anqipiqi It was probably covered for legal reasons, because more into the video a soda cans label is also blurred out. What ever brand names or companies they were probably didn't want there product on camera.

[McDiddy99]

2:28 "It's got DT symbols on it"

Guessing you aren't wearing those anymore, huh Mike? ;(

[Macckos]

1:07  Greetings from Poland guys !

[harmony0404]

Happy birthday, Mike! Stay cool! We love you!

[xmEeLx]

What says Portnoy about Myung's clothes? I can't understand! :(

[espjoshua]

@xmEeLx He said that John Myung has 10 of the exact same outfit. He reversed the words when he referred to Einstein. Portnoy says, "Albert Einstein only one wore outfit," but he meant to say "only wore one outfit so he wouldn't have to waste the brain power on deciding what to wear every single day." He says that John Myung must be a genius like Einstein because he wears the same outfit every day. LOL

[xmEeLx]

@espjoshua Hahahahaha thank you!!! :D

I agree that John Myung is a genius :P

[Soulfulshreddify]

LoL I kinda though James was Johnny Depp Wtf..

[1noshoot]

[ZombieOwen23]

JP: I need those proteins, without em I'll turn into a squeleton during solos. It's gonna our dirty little secret...

Mike: Ok ! Where's my camera ?

[komkipi1]

[KazeReload]

I use the same shampoo as portnoy xD

[ScottyA328]

where does he get the sweatbands!! i want them!!!

[real1acer]

The same thought went over my head! SO MANY PRETTY WRISTBANDS!!!

[oblisk94xxx]

me and mike use the same shampoo lol

[Da7xT]

and then you have the complete opposite, which is basically the same outfit times 10. hahahahahaha

[mulanovich]

LOL xD

[MartianBuddy88]

Nice, Labrie's a Habs fan!

[dtjesus101]

Mike said "he only one wore outfit" He cracks me up.

[amcbucks]

yeah, i caught that. it was great

[mophead02]

HAHA john myung is such a weirdo, and portnoy is the complete opposite

[JiMxtreme]

Lol, does Mike have porn in his drawer? What was blurred out?

[ZeCantaloupe]

Lol that was my first thought too, but at 1:37 you can see Dream Theater on the cover, must be a music mag.

[dtjesus101]

Actually, Dream Theater did some porn back in their early days to pay the bills. You've never seen "When Rock and Porn Unite" or "Falling into Tiffany"? My favorite is "Six Degrees of G-spot Orgasms"

[benette37]

lol you cracked me up

[adelsamakia]

is this real?

[BlackDollarBills]

fail

[SemiQuaver100]

@dtjesus101 the ass prision, systematic cunt, the darketernal vag

[slipknotmeep]

@dtjesus101 Gay. In the good way. :)

[NingenSucka]

@dtjesus101 Don't forget the Instrumental part in Scene Six: Home...now in live action!

[dpgiaca97]

@dtjesus101 In 2004, for the older fans, they did the porno "I Walks Inside You"

[NeverEndingDaze]

@dtjesus101 what's funny also is that you have 69 likes as well.

[portnoymonsta]

i think its a tattoo mag that mike was in?

[adelsamakia]

its a magazine, a normal one, they only blurred the name because of the copyrights :)

[BlackDollarBills]

3:26 That's a sweet setlist... whoever saw that concert is lucky :P

[nonavarium]

ahh symphny and dream together...

pretty amazing!!!!

[joelikespie]

John Myung has an iPod??

ah yes.. a powerful iPod full of silence..

[adelsamakia]

HAHAHAHAHA

[ameliorate2695]

they were on tour with symphony X? damn i missed it somehow

[gothickid13]

[adelsamakia]

systematic chaos

[matheus101290]

[dreadbet]

4:23

AAAAAAAAAHHH...HÊHÊEYYY!

[Trumavarium]

Hahaha. XD

[ProgDrummer9]

"Haven't even seen one today!"

(high five)

"How you doin?"

"good..."

the awkwardness KILLS me

[vezzorock]

john petrucci's steroids....so sad to see my guitar hero gettin steroids

[dtgodportnoy]

it actually looks like mix for a protein shake(or many protein shakes) which does buff you up naturally

[jkerrigan1990]

They're not steroids. They are protein tablets.

[darkalien]

actually is not steroids. it's Weider Maximum Zell Volume... a product that has creatine and protein.. is not steroids. it has natural ingredients found in most foods.. NOW I know his secret!!! haha jks..

[KazeReload]

My father used the same, they're not steroids.

[ybbuch08]

what is that "maximum zell volume???"

[KazeReload]

@ybbuch08 it's a body building product, I don't know how it is made but I think it's similiar to all the others, it contains mainly proteins, creatine and carbohydrate. As portnoy said, it buffs you up lol

[ybbuch08]

i want that, want to be buff.. where can i buy that???

[Yakushii]

@ybbuch08

You have to work out if you want to be buff. Max Zell Volume and other protein powder products will only make you fat if you don't work out.

[CascadedDemise]

He probably drinks it to maintain what muscle he has, being on tour you never eat or rest like regular people. After the tour he probably resumes his workout regimen.  He's a body builder, so it's not uncommon to get fat while bulking.

[Yakushii]

You can't maintain your muscle density without working out.

It's pretty well known that Petrucci does work out when he gets the time. That time is very often a loose hour while on tour. I'm guessing that's why he brought it.

[jaredpistoia]

hahahaha pussy. there's no shortcuts. work out and take whey protein

[PaganWarDrummer]

Don't let Portnoy fool you, he says that Petrucci takes that stuff to get buff. But in all reality, that stuff takes Petrucci to get the ability to get things buff.

[donkeysaregreat]

lol Myung is so weird, but of course a GOD!

[mustaineowns]

here i thought labrie was a leaf fan being from minden and all of a sudden i see him in a habs jersey!!! wtf!!!

[HayabusaNoTsuchi]

LOL Shit, I thought that blurred magazine he pulled out was porn! Oh lord...

[Hadoitz]

James: Uuuuuuh! Huhuuuu!

*lol*

[Rocklobster933]

lol Mike Portnoy Signature New Balance shoes

[adamolx]

I like that POLSKA T-shirt ;)

[Kantich]

where can i find those shoes^^

[RroniDT]

hahha the thing that Mike says : "its john petrucci's but i dont know what is it just boils u up" is the Proteins of John haha cool.. now i understood how exactly john build that body :D

[homertrotter]

is james labrie balding?

[shaftman800]

Ha james with a habs jersey. kick ass.

[bioarsonist]

john myung IS a genius :P

[RedAkerston]

My dream life... and might not be a dream for much longer. I believe it will soon be a reality. I want to see Mike's bootleg collection.
