  • he doesnt need to wash his hair... he's the boss

  • RIP The Rev, it is impossible to tell who is the best, but your are my favorite drummer of all time.

  • Avenged Sevenfold and Dream Theater are the two best bands Ever!!

  • @backslicer102 I agree.

  • dream theater is best than avenged sevenfold...

  • @luy2100 that's the worst english i have ever heard/seen!!!

  • shall we stop comparing shit between the rev and mike portnoy, they are friends, you guys have totally no respect for them. and in the interview, mike kept on saying say that i like them, musically. hahaha! sounds so gay!! stop hating, they're excellent drummers.

  • Mike u will never be as good as the rev the rev was the best ever he is a million times better than u so don't think u will be better

  • @RAYGUNM4ST3ER463 Shut yo' trap, fool!

  • @RAYGUNM4ST3ER463 hahahahaha, someone doesn't know shit about music..

  • We are so thankful mike

  • Oxy's are for loser. One man gathers what another tosses away.

  • Fuck all of you assholes who bitch about the REV. He was the best drummer alive, and you talking shit about him just proves your only mad because you take his drum sticks up the ass. Anyway I'm glad mike can go back to DT, and that A7X has a new drummer :)

  • @Dbruciefer Too bad Mike cant come back to DT

  • 1:43 "I like them musically". You should seriously consider buying a rope for Xmas, Mike!

  • The Rev was a HUGE Mike Portnoy fan and it was very cool of Portnoy to take his place when he died. Though, it's sad that he had to leave Dream Theater for that. I personally think Avenged Sevenfold should've been the ones who got a new drummer, not Dream Theater and that Portnoy should only be a sub. :\ RIP the Rev

  • mike portnoy left dream theater for many more reasons than just because of a7x

  • avenged seven fold doesn't deserve phenomenal musicians like mike

  • @NOtheism if u dont respect avenged sevenfold bt its sevenfold not seven fold but if u dont respect them then you dont respect mike go jump ina hole ok? thanks! :D

  • Comment removed

  • Man, imagine if things turned out this way. It would have been better IMO.

    Vinnie Paul leaves Hellyeah and join Avenged Sevenfold.

    Mike Portnoy leaves DT and joins Hellyeah. (he would make a good straight up heavy metal drummer).

    Blake Richardson leaves BTBAM and joins DT.

    Mark Castillo comes back as BTBAM's new drummer.

    Peace

  • Bands are relationships. Mike left DT for another band, the new band decided to move on without him in the end, Mike tried going back to "ole faithful", but ole faithful didnt want him back either. I guess he's the musical equivalent of a cheating husband....lol

  • I really do kinda wish mike had stayed touring with avenged. I heard from somewhere that he wanted to keep touring with them but avenged didn't wanna totally swallow him with the shows they were doing. I dunno. I just can seem to like Arin. But I'm also glad someone is behind a kit for them. Hahaha

  • @Raffael900me, you should be more respectful, jimmy the rev sulavin was a great drummer, and he'll never be forgotten, not only was he a drummer for a7x, he was a family member to a7x, we love you jimmy, rest in peice, a7x forREVer

  • their faggot drummer died? big shit there is a genocide going on and africa think about THAT, the facts dont change DT best music, avenged faggot fold = worst music wannabe

  • @Raffael900me You can have an opinion, but atleast give a reason to why you dont like it...

  • @Raffael900me Go to hell, that's all I can say >:P

  • @Raffael900me dude, fuck off

  • @Raffael900me you have no idea what you're talking about. The Rev has won plenty of drummer awards and with good reason. You need to seriously watch what you say, where, and to whom.

  • well im glad he died and im glad portnoy ego made him give up on creativity and so DT can continue with their beautiful music of one of the best progressive metal and rock ever

  • @Raffael900me Dude, the fuck is wrong with you? since when did parents let their kids grow up to be such of a prejudice sons of bitches? you never met the guy so dont slag off the fact hes fucking dead, i love both avenged and dream theater because i dont have tunnel vision about one fucking band and dont talk shit over the internet about other genres

  • Is he still in the band, cause ive seen 2 drummers that have said to be in a7x

  • @SPSguy836 no hes not

  • I so badly think he should've stayed with A7x i hate the new drummer arin

  • I for one think that things could have worked out if Portnoy became the drummer of BOTH Dream Theater and Avenged Sevenfold. Things would have gone like this. Mike takes a 5 year break and works with A7X. Then this cycle happens.

    1)Mike stays with DT, tours with them for 3 years while A7X takes a break

    2) Mike stays with A7X, tours with them for 2 years while, DT takes a break

    3) Mike, DT, and A7X takes a break.

    Then thecycle goes on.

  • @irwin3036able But when does he take a break there gonna work him to death lol

  • @irwin3036able But when does he take a break there gonna work him to death lol

  • wait has mike ever been with avenged sevenfold?

  • he`s lost so much weight

  • any tips on how to dye a beard blue ?

  • @duodat -Ask Mike Portnoy

  • wash your hair..

  • This guy is NOT from A7x. Faggot!

  • @OfficialBTTSchannel he recorded half the album with them dumbass

  • @OfficialBTTSchannel He played the drums for the entire nightmare albuum , so hes considered part of a7x and dream theater

  • DT - Surrounded...one of my all time favorite songs of all times in all times

  • His beard is almost as cool as Dimebag's was ....

  • A7x's musicians are capable of some very technical licks, I admit. If only they got rid of their "-Core" elements, I'd kinda like them.

  • i would have used Corbus to replace Rev, We Miss you Rev

  • At First It Looked Like Matt Was Pissed At Mike. o: Lol!!

    I Was Like.. "Wat Happened?? .. Mike Fucked Up??"

    Hahaha!! xDD

  • @orionservakos of course it his he's mike portonoy

  • Really, it's just a matter of taste.

    Like what you like.

    Let others like what they like.

    If that's difficult for you:

    Deal with it on your own, don't bore the rest of the world with your shitcomments.

  • Rofl avenged sevenfail sucks.

  • @RustInRush why go watching this video then? go listen gaga or bieber.

  • @UberMatTuck Rofl, go listen to avenged sevenfucks, you faggot. I listen to rush megadeth dream theater april wine enslaved and good shit like that, avenged sevenfold is the shitstain of music. fag.

  • @RustInRush well then why are you watching this video? fag lol.

  • @RustInRush Oh really? well, fyi, I listen to Rush, Kiss, AC/DC, RHCP, Avenged Sevenfold, Nirvana, Megadeath, BLFMV and much more, you know why, cuz I ignore douche bags like you :D

    and anyway, Avenged have done MUCH more than you will ever do...In a few years I see you sitting in an office doing peper work while avenge will be rocking the crap out of everyone while drinking and having the best time ever xDD so OPEN WIDE AND SUCK ON THESE

  • @GoLDraG0N lol nice MEGADEATH spelling you faggot. also thats why the little shit drummer died, drinking! haha makes me laugh that faggots liek you like this shit band.

  • @RustInRush you know what? Im not gonna fight with you if you like them or not, You have ur own opinion, and so do I. But tbh, I dont mind if you like them or not, I like them, and thats all I care about..You can call them however you want..I wont care..at all..cuz Im not willing to fight over worthless things like this. Im just gonna enjoy the kind of music I like. Thats all

  • @UberMatTuck Seriously, you idiots need to stop with the Justin Bieber jokes.

  • No affense to mike but he is such a fucking big headed person he just bascially said everything he plays for jimmy is like his own work but alot of the techniques the rev used like his 'Double Ride' are his own not Portnoy's, and to add to this Portnoy may say he just was helping a friend but from what I know of him he just assumed Ax7 wanted him as there drummer so bit far fetched. @necrox11 Get the fuck out if you say that im sure mostly all the people on this video will agree your a goon!!

  • This is Tony Montana! Ok?! Listening to me! Fuck sosa! AHauhaah _|_

  • thank you for your support to this band :)

  • they are not good musicians.. portnoy what the fuck are you doing?

  • @necrox11 Honestly they are good musicians, especially Synyster, I mean honestly if you don't like A7X's style don't bash the band and lie to yourself and say they are not good musicians. Because honestly they are sir.

  • Blue beards are awesome :D

  • dream theater sucks dick! a7x ftw!!!!

  • bla bla bla bla bla....... bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshitbullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit vbullshit bullshit

  • That beard is quality! :D

  • Funny I'm here to listen to Portnoy's thoughts on his decision, not to hear whinny teen kids bitch about who's better. Also don't bother responding back to me on who's better....I don't care. I'm a Portnoy fan.

  • @Zybezane Amen Brother there really is no replacement for Portnoy

  • @steagald13 I'm pretty sure you can replace him, Neil Peart would be good, but they have Mike Mangini, it's just that D.T won't be the same without him. So you can't replace Portnoy to a full 100%.

  • izzy hale is singing Familiar taste of poison in the backround?

  • To be honest i do think the REV was replaced quite quickly... I'm still trying to get over how quickly he was replaced :'( but i guess the had to do what they had to do eh?

  • was victim really done in one take like i heard it was?

  • what a shame...Portnoy and this idiotic band.

  • @dor171093 A7X are awesome dude.

  • they couldnt get anyone better than this hobo?!?!?

  • @UnifiedZombies of course. the band was INSPIRED by him. AV was superstars, M.Portnoy was a legend

  • A7X isn't worthy enough of Mr. Portnoy....

  • what would u say if Mike walked away?

    would u appreciate?

  • Love A7X. .:D

  • thumbs up if you were a fan of a7x and dream theater before portnoy joined

  • portnoy got owned.

    quit DT to have some more teenager fun with Sevenfold and got booted from Sevenfold later on. Now hes crying back trying to get DT to accept him.

    What a fart-knocker.

  • @watchyourst3p portnoy is back in avenged sevenfold for another run.

  • @watchyourst3p Then he was kicked from Dream Theater because some deep reasons...they are supposed to be the best friends right? This doesnt look like it.

  • What a prick.I had alot of respect for him while he was the DT drummer but now........

    What A dick !

  • We will miss you in DT Mike. Fuck A7x.

  • The Rev R.I.P...

  • they should have kept portnot since he offered, jimmy would have wanted it

  • Mike Portnoy is such an unreal bastard... fuck him. Homo-sucking ass licking schmutz........ sprinkle cymbal-works like a little boy. Not gut defined... sevenfold

  • @mkklmann You jealous?

  • e ieri l'ho incontrato da cherubini a roma... grande mike

  • To everybody who thinks A7X sucks you guys need to get your ears checked and wtf are you doin watchin their music videos anyways you fuckin posers...-=Avenged-Sevenfold=-­Rules!!!!!

  • @aris252 Watching their music videos? What the fuck are you talking about? I'm watching an interview with Mike Portnoy.

  • A7X sucks

  • so does your mom, but I'm not posting about it.

  • @craigsretarded11 who called you? jajaja whatever, just cowards insult the mothers.... :S

  • @Thrasherist

    lol nice come back man. You got me so good. I'm mortified.  You sir are great at come backs.

    Sure A7x may or may not be better than dream theater....but that doesn't mean either sucks.

  • @craigsretarded11 ROLFMAO!

  • @Thrasherist

    What is ROLFMAO? Its ROFLMAO NOOB!

  • @Thrasherist loser

  • @BulletBanana hahaha because I said the truth........

  • @Thrasherist

    Open two tabs and have both on youtube, type in avenged sevenfold, and in the other tab type in dream theater...... COMPARE THEIR VIEWS.....ENOUGH SAID

  • @craigsretarded11 ENOUGH SAID

  • @Thrasherist WTF? YOU REPEATED WHAT I SAID.....LOL YOU KNOW YOU GOT TOLD.

  • @craigsretarded11 no retard it's just to make you happy with your lies ;)

  • @Thrasherist

    I'll ignore you calling me a retard because your literally too stupid to insult me.

    My lies? wtf are you talking about. I just was proving a point that A7x has many more views on their videos. And anyone can view that on here, so how is that lies?

  • @craigsretarded11 wtf? jajaja come on man! so you mean... that a7x is better because it has more views? haha come on!

  • @craigsretarded11 by the way... a7x has more dislikes jajaja xD

  • @Thrasherist So that means even MORE people have viewed their videos because much more people have heard of them and with more likes becomes more dislikes.... And for a band to be more popular with more fans basically means they are better.....and for Portnoy to quit a better band to play for a worse band doesn't make much sense. I mean he was helping them out...... But this is not an argument that can be settled, its all an opinon. But to say A7x sucks is completely ignorant.

  • @craigsretarded11 no man... what r u talking about?.. i disagree with you... dream theater is popular too, but dream theater has more virtuous artists. By the way ... you're wrong about that man... so if you say that a band is better because has more fans and more popularity, so you say that lady gaga.... justin bieber....jonas brothers..... and a lot of crap commercial bands are better? OH congratulations!

  • @Thrasherist I'm not saying Dream Theater isn't popular, but less popular than A7x, yes they are. And I'm not saying Dream Theater doesn't have great people....I'm just establishing that A7x does NOT suck. And in their genre, yes lady Gaga and Justin Bieber and Jonas Bro's are much better, but their styles don't even closely relate or overlap with Dream Theater or A7x. With how many people A7x has viewing their songs and videos shows they do NOT suck.

  • @craigsretarded11 well... dream theater is more talented and more creative. And... a7x doesn`t suck IF their fans doesn't call it metal

  • @Thrasherist Dream Theater is more talented at what they do A7x is more talented at what they do. And their new stuff is more modern metal than their old stuff which was most definitely metalcore/post hardcore. They are different styles of which neither band sucks.

  • Mike Portnoy is so.....IDIOT!! XD Dream theater is 154164654212313456541321643546­843131321654351324654132165451­31465 times better than a7x 

  • @Thrasherist FAIL

  • @xxHATESxTHExWORLDxx  a7x sucks

  • @Thrasherist You suck

  • @xxHATESxTHExWORLDxx hahaha you suck

  • @Thrasherist Nah man your mom sucks , you swallow ;)

  • @xxHATESxTHExWORLDxx your family sucks, you swallow ;D

  • @Thrasherist listen man , your mom sucks , you swallow , your dad takes it in the ass , your sister does atm , your brother takes the cock , your grandmother gums it , and your grandpa watches , deal wit it you fucking fail at life

  • @iiNsaNeAD Haha thanks man

  • @xxHATESxTHExWORLDxx most ownage i have ever seen in a comment, you made my day

  • @axedstoninst Thanks man i try i did this just to make your day

  • @xxHATESxTHExWORLDxx epic comment dude hahaha

  • @sexysyn666 Thanks bro

  • YOU FOOLS avenged sevenfold will NEVER be more talented than dream theater! maybe if they replace their guitarist with john petrucci, their bassist with john myung, their keyboardist with jordan rudess, and their vocals with james labrie xD lol... i would never say mike portnoy is dead to me though. thats just stupid.

  • all you fags are so ignorant, a7x is no where near as talented as dream theater, mike made them better

  • @DreamTheaterisGod1 i had never heard of dream theater until portnoy joind a7x

  • @DreamTheaterisGod1 Mike didnt add anything, he basically played covers of the Rev's songs, nice try lol

  • @numcaps2 i never said he added anything, i just said he made them better

  • @DreamTheaterisGod1 Because you can make a band better without adding or taking away anything. He played what the rev wrote, he cant have made them better. But I do agree, a7x is less talented IN SOME ASPECTS than DT

  • Mike portnoy is cool but it makes them look old a LITTLE bit. Hes still awesome but doesnt feel the same.

  • holy fuck his beard is blue and green

  • @orionzervakos its bleen! \m/

  • he's a really good person.

  • Leave him alone playing DT songs wears your witow arms out, maybe he's tiwed and needs a nap. J/K it's the music business, don't make it into drama. There's good drummers out there, maybe they want to try a different sound and geez Mike filled in for a dead guy how can you cut on that? Have a heart.

  • Ok, He's not in Avenged Sevenfold, ok people?

  • Mike, you definately made the BIGGEST mistake in your life man, you ran away from MAKING REAL MUSIC to MAKING STUPID NOISE...

    You lost the best seat in the world, broke our hearts and I don't think there is a spot for you in DT in the future, you could "only play drums" in DT too...

    I will remember and still listen to your stuff until 2010, but not after that, sorry to say this, YOU'RE DEAD TO ME!!!!

  • @DreamHonda your a dumbass. do you really think mike portnoy's gonna read your comments and get upset

  • @DreamHonda hahaha! seriously, i laugh at you, that is some funny shit right there, you almost make it sound as if Mike isnt allowed to make his own decisions! good thing you didnt cos that would be very mean :P

  • @DreamHonda dude chill the fuck out. thousands of people had never heard of portnoy before he did a7x a favor and played drums for them in the wake of the Rev's death....myself included. you can have your own opinion about the music that's fine but don't try and say he made a huge mistake. in reality it was probably a very good choice for his popularity. cuz he loses stupid fucks like you but he gained thousands like me

  • @DreamHonda HAHA a7x is way better in every way than dream theatre... you just jealous :)

  • @Justin87russ Dream Theater is better than a7x in everyway possible. period.

  • anyone think that the squeals from the guitars at the start of Critical Acliam in this video sounds like Dinosaurs in a video game like Tomb Raider? hahah

  • I can't believe he left Dream Theater for this.

  • @TheSlayTallica I know, good question. :P Don't think they've said yet.

  • it's like he's having a mid-life crisis

  • Shit I wonder if most Avenged fans even knew who Mike Portnoy was before he joined................what a waste.

  • @ThePlaidFace Some of us were fans od Dream before A7X. =D

  • @ThePlaidFace id say quite a few did dude

  • @ThePlaidFace yeah actually i did you piece of donkey shit and no its not a waste yes dream theater is an amazing band but mike couldnt play to his full potential in that band so fuck you

  • In ASF he's able to do things he couldn't do enough of in DT. Such as "Natural Born Killer". What he did on that song would never fit DT. Mike is possibly, arguably the best drummer alive. He's proving it by switching to show his versitality. Also to keep the music fun. It didn't sound like DT was having as much fun with "Black Clouds & Silver Linings" compared to prior CD's. When you're rich, have fun. Otherwise sit on the couch and watch other people's movies & music like most of us!

  • @Gkeysrock1 Yeah, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that A7X suck horse testicles, because all of their songs are alike, and MP has lost a truck load of respect from me and many of his other fans.

  • @Mrcrazy80 I do respect your opinion of A7X.  If I had to put up with doing all the work for a band behind the scenes, and put up with nagging & complaining of band mates both for 20 years, it would eventually bring down the desire to continue. MP wanted only a break but no compromise could be reached. Remember the words in 'Take the Time’, 'The Shattered Fortress' & especially 'Constant Motion'. Everything DT was about says he needed "new life". I respect his choice. Hope A7X gets better!

  • MP playing drums in a shit band why leave DT for that must have been his little head thinking? come on there kids that suck

  • MP playing drums in a shit band why leave DT for that must have been his little thinking

  • @MrMoggway no u fail a7x is amazing

  • sorry but i dont like his style (really sorry :P) but this is what i really like of him

    1:00 what he did

    i really like it

  • @TheSlayTallica I heard they didn't even get to talk to him, their lawyer denied it.

  • @TheSlayTallica He wanted a break. They didn't want one though, and so he left to take a break.
