Mike Portnoy interview - part1

[gsxracer1977]

@CCTSPORTES

you are forgetting the "realdrummer110" also known as iamsorry and so on.....

its just a mentalcase guy who's never make it "big" and was in the former band HERO, look it up> you'll cry your eyes out...

He thinks in his his own mind... is better as MP...I can only laugh about that.. : )

[CCTSPORTES]

rrdrums has made himself famous in the PORTNOY community as the ROYAL RUSTY CUNTBUCKET SPERM WHALE FUCKING IDIOT

[shoez290]

you do realize that his sense of music theory is very well. He cordinates his kicks with fills fairly well. whos better than him right now. keith moon isnt alive to be fair and neil peart is just an animal lmao.

[Westeraria]

what a waste of mikes time! he could worked on new music instead! btw, us swedes are stupid!

[paulwall1981]

He may not be the most out there drummer in the world today, but he one of the most rescpeted. 12 Modern drummer best Porg drummer awards, as well as countless other awards and what have you, make Mike Portnoy a true drumming legend among drummers.

[realdrummer110]

@paulwall1981 toilet paper awards you mean? All realdrummers know he is very very very truly far away from the best drummer. Even you and he know it. At least he admitted it. You? But the creep still took em. Give em back mike or I'll have no choice but go into your house and take them back for justice purposes. If you try to stop me , youyr head is getting flushed in the toilet. There isn't a damn thing you can do about it either... hahahahahahahahaha

[Rsage]

such boring questions. why not pick a dream theater fan to interview? sounds like a better idea imo

[hereg2007]

they are getting older....but they are extremly AWSOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.J­UST LOVE THEM

[juaneer]

@rrdrums110 why the fuck are you replying to every Mike Portnoy vid??? you have an issue man...

[molomono]

@rrdrums110

At first i was like FUUUUUUUUUUUU-

But then i thought, if you really think that and your not just trolling,

Than the jokes on you.

[IwillPAWNu]

Do you hate the whole band or just Portnoy?

[Incisionator]

@rrdrums110 Someone needs a hug.

[rrdrums110]

Who you telling to get booze? me or Mike?

[TheMONNETT]

DT is great fucking musicianship. But they arent Rush and never will be.

[rrdrums110]

How interesting that they raise the key a step for each song. I mean like dude wow. Fuckeeeeeeeeeeeen genius these guys!!!!!!!!!!! NOT. Fucking nothing better to do than try to think cool things up that don't amount nothing but strokeville. Toyass band with suckass songs and musicianship.

[ironDsteele]

Who are you to talk about musicianship? You are a disgrace to music period. Your a has been. Get it through your thick fucking head you will never amount to anything beyond dog shit. Now go polish Portnoy's shoes and jack to Jeffery Dahmer; from what I hear your pretty good at it.

[jdrum021]

rrdrums110 told. :D

[enrico826]

I think you're too rude man...

The thing is:.. he just got the wrong job.

Go back to farm Mike!!!

[Geddywoots]

@rrdrums110 so i assume you have written something brilliant right??? I mean obviously you are a world famous musician that everyone knows and identifies as at the top of his/her field right??? oh know your a lame ass who looks up people they dont like so that they can try to bash them...FAIL

[rrdrums110]

who gives a fuck what this yid says and does.

[64Daniel64Maverick64]

I do. FUCK OFF!

Good day/ :D

dumbfuck..

[wolloolloo]

boooze! :D more booozeee!!! :D

[simasp93]

The first song isn't Dream Theater it's Transatlantic.

[ferlotte]

@simasp93 It's not transatlantic it's Neal Morse's 'One' album and the song is called Author of Confusion

[simasp93]

Yeah I didn't know so much then but now I know more about Neal Morse and Transatlantic :)

[thickpooxbox360]

hold on a minute wen he talks about octivarium he says played in 'an' octave

they didnt play the whole album in 1 octave did they? :O

[organmies]

They BASED it in an octave

[thickpooxbox360]

wat do ya mean it was based on an octave?

[ameliorate2695]

in the beginning and end you can hear jordan play that one octave

[whosaidsoup13]

The Root of All Evil is in the key of F. The Answer Lies Within is in G. every song goes up a key until Octavarium, which is in F (Octavarium is the "octave). There were also a couple of riffs in Octavarium that were based around octaves. The whole album is full of stuff like that, it's really clever

[jmiester25]

there's even more behind the octave law, but theres not enough space in this comment box. perhaps someone can make a video explaining the science behind the album?

[Raiderfan123]

i love the octavarium album, its so complex and amazing. The references in octavarium are just mind blowing.

[SevRdBand]

this is such a bad interview, the interviewer is asking stupid questions, i feel bad for Mike.

[ZoraZoldier]

The dude is a shame for sweden XD

Anyone know if theyll be coming back here any time soon? If he comes every 2 years it should be this winter eh?

[jethrow007]

what year is this?

[ganonthedarkevillord]

[joganof1]

har du jobbat som vikarie på montessori skolan centrum ? iså fall har du glömt dina skor

[ZoraZoldier]

Ok, hämtar dem immorn.

[pilliti]

sorry :S

[pilliti]

but if ... and you.. oo well. i don't think.. they could.. wow fuck!

[jakethesnake001]

Sorry about that, but since I'm from Sweden and not having the perfect english pronunciation, those things happen.

Too bad some of you don't like our efforts to bring you guys something fun and free. Luckily enough most people (including me, Mike, his management, the guys from Sabian and Tama, and all the drummers mailing their positive response to us) liked the result.

And for those of you calling me poser - please call me when you've done half of what we do over here and apply for the job :)

[pantera86]

I will back that up anytime. Well said dude.

[maviddicic]

oldler!!! hahahaha 0:53

fuckin' sheat aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[skiddae16]

SM57! ? :)

[Gudes69]

aouther of confution.

[hb4108]

whats the opening song?

[Sabiano]

Author of Confusion - Neal Morse

[progressivedrummer94]

no, it´s transatlantic :)

[Sabiano]

nope that's Neal Morse. Tho he participated in TA...

[progressivedrummer94]

that´s what I meant. neal morse played keabord in transatlantic

[Sabiano]

yeah but this song was released on one of Neals soloalbums that Mike played on.

[beatngu1]

No!! the best things we can do in Sweden is weaponds. And i think US is wery happy aboute that so they can beat the shit out of countrys

that have oil and different thinking!!

[icysk8r]

dude, hes talking about the best INTERVIEWER. wen the hell id we start talking about weapons?

[iampooflinger]

Is this the best they can do in Sweden? Reminds me of the first interview by Ricky Roctman on MTV!For those of you who saw Dream Theater's first apperance on Head-bangers ball know exactly what I'm talking about!This guy couldnt interview alvin and the chipmunks!What a dumb ass!This guy's a bigger poser and has no reason to rub elbows with a god such as Mike Portnoy,I think McDonalds needs a drive thru worker! I think that Mike's proffesional abilities interviewing saved the band from insult!

[888erkan888]

"welcome back to Sweden"?? I live in sweden! why did they record this if they didnt swowed it on TV or somthing?

[jakethesnake001]

If you watch part 2, you'll see Mike is clearly enjoying himself. He was very pleased with the interview, and to come up with questions for the most interviewed drummer of the last 10 years isn't very easy. But like I said, part 2.

Best regards,

Jakob Herrmann (the "dumbass" who did the interview)

[SevRdBand]

portnoy seems so uninterested they just keep pelting him with the same annoying questions. dumbasses need new questions.

[uruzumi]

eh in my opinion you need a drummer to interview a godly one decently .

[buldr3k]

Awsonme stuff...same old questions but always interesting to wach...looks like portnoy is a bit bored too...xD
