Last Mike Portnoy Interview before leaving Dream Theater

[MlKEPORNTOY]

The day Dream Theater died.

[NeilAnthony69]

The video is not too difficult to split into two parts...jmC85, your just a retard and this video will be flagged as spam, because that is exactly what it is.

[briandrum1]

@NeilAnthony69 "Your" a retard? Oh, the irony!!!

[NeilAnthony69]

@briandrum1 The video claims to be an interview, when in reality, it is nothing more than the introduction to the interview...which just happens to be on another site. Therefore, this is nothing more than deceptive advertising by getting the user to click on the external link...and that is spam...plain and simple.

Perhaps you wouldn't mind explaining to me the irony?

If you really want to find out what a retard looks like...just go look in the mirror and you will see for yourself.

[briandrum1]

@NeilAnthony69 So you come back w/ an insult? I have a great idea, how bout you go fuck yourself, how about that ya dolt!

[NeilAnthony69]

@briandrum1 What's the matter? Don't you know how to spell properly...this is not ghetto language. ya = you. Oh and one other thing...the "how about that ya dolt!" should have a question mark after it and not an exclamation mark. Just thought you should know that ...since you are obviously a stickler for using correct grammar. and like pointing it out to others.

[briandrum1]

@NeilAnthony69 Why'd you erase your comment? I agree w/ you that he could have easily uploaded the video here, though Vimeo's quality is far superior. The ironic part was simply in your comment. Your name is "NeilAnthony69"...is the 69 your birthdate? You're either 43 or 44, right? How is it, that someone at your age doesn't know the difference between your and you're? If you call someone a retard, don't you think you should at least make sure your grammar is correct before hitting post?

[NeilAnthony69]

@briandrum1 Oh I didn't realise this was a grammar competition and you were the grammar police. Get a life...this is just you-tube comment. Besides, you knew full well what I meant and if that's all you can pick me up on, then it shows your comment had no substance to it in the first place, as well as being out of context.

I called him a retard for not being able to split a video up into two parts, and that has nothing to do with any typo's I may have made in a comment.

[briandrum1]

@NeilAnthony69 A typo is a typa <---(see what I did there?). I wasn't trying to pick a fight w/ you, it's just funny to me when grown adults don't know the difference between your and you're. You're the one who needs to "get a life". Bitching about having to click a link? Especially when it's a link to video site w/ better quality than youtube! Sheesh....settle down...

[NeilAnthony69]

@briandrum1 No I don't like spam in any way, shape or form and I have a right to bitch about false representation/spam. It's not honest and moreover, it's annoying and that's the end of it!

[JmC85]

@NeilAnthony69

I've never been insulted before for helping people to find a video that may be of their interest. You are an unpolite coward. I uploaded this video on Vimeo because i prefer the quality and the service, then i put this "teaser" to allow youtube users to find it easily. And YES it's difficult to split in two because i have a restriction of 10 minutes and i couldn't find a space between questions to make 2 parts with less of 10 mins each one.

[NeilAnthony69]

@JmC85 Yea, yea, yea...go tell it to your mother. I don't care! There is no excuse...you are a cowardly spammer plain and simple. You don't even have the guts to admit it...that's the mark of a real coward!

No excuses and don't try and justify your spamming ways because I for one, am not buying it. You are a cowardly, no-good, spamming, little-shithead and the sooner that you-tube removes this video as spam the happier I will be.

[JmC85]

@NeilAnthony69

If you are less "retard" than me, i'm waiting for you to contact mike portnoy, interview him, edit a 20 minutes video with so many archive footage and upload it in two beautiful parts. Next time shut up before insulting please.

[NeilAnthony69]

@JmC85 Why would I want to interview Mike Portnoy? If I were to do that I could at least split the video into two parts and put it out on you-tube. It's not exactly brain surgery. Is it?

Two beautiful parts? It seems now that I have to add deluded to the list as well as stupid. It is not my intention to insult people, although I inadvertently do. Tell me, is there a nice way to call someone stupid? Technically challenged? Perhaps? Lets face it we both know its just spam. Simple as that!

[Hertsman50]

I think Thomas Lang would be the best drummer for Dream Theater.

[Squinelato]

Who is fan of truth of Dream theater know that no exist DT without Portnoy.



[darfunkelidas]

They should bring back Kevin Moore. ON THE DRUMS. Lol

[sayde73]

Here its the question that no one does who will replace him at DT? i dont have many names to said one, and im saying could be on the list Aquiles Priester....any other name?

[ThatSomeTrash]

@sayde73 two words. Terry Bozio

[Zoury]

@sayde73 I wouldn't like to see another band breaking up or loosing a member to fill Mike's spot. So i think Mike Mangini, Dave DiCenso or Marco Minnemann would be awesome choices.

[sayde73]

@Zoury 100 % agree with You, anyone that you named could fill the place, but the question it´s still on will the replacement fill the place (not drumming) in all the things that MP did it? jaja Cheers man

[Zoury]

@sayde73 haha yeah the whole band will have to chip in.. :)

[narziz]

NO! Its Better Here!

[roofusj94]

What's the song playing?

[InTheFlesh77]

@roofusj94

Duel With The Devil - Transatlantic.

Its on the 'Bridge Across Forever' album

[ABshookme]

Will you guys stop only looking at this STUPID HEADLINE. Portney is NOT LEAVING Dream Theather. Go listen to 18:10 at vimeo.

"Imagine that the next Dream Theater album would be the last?

"Strange hypothetically question because hopefully the next Dream Teather record won’t be the last, as you asking. I think Dream Teather can be making music for the rest of our lives"

______________

Go think about how awesome it's going to be with new albums from all of them.

[speedgo41]

I hope he comes back to DT,my life will never be the same if he doesn't

[TartarSource5335]

Just watched the video. Thanks a lot to those who helped make it. Very well put together with great content. Thanks you.

[passion4drums]

@JacobSteuer did you even read what he said in the info? god damn

[Flackon16]

@metabog Duel With The Devil - Transatlantic

[metabog]

What song is this?

[horibodo]

i'm very sad :( .......why ?

[ESPEasel]

@horibodo Because in my opinion every drummer after Mike will be a disappointment and may effect dream theater :(

[ESPEasel]

This is a disaster

[passion4drums]

could be the worst thing to ever happen to music? haha besides metallica that is

[ajmdrummer]

@passion4drums whats wrong with metallica

[donnitass]

I can´t believe
