MIKE PORTNOY AVENGED SEVENFOLD & DREAM THEATER INTERVIEW - Part 3

We caught up with Mike Portnoy on the Uproar Tour in late August 2010 before he announced he will no longer be a part of Dream Theater. In Part 3 he talks about where he thought Dream Theater was at, being involved in lots of projects like Hail, Transatlantic, Avenged Sevenfold, etc., on work finding him, where Avenged Sevenfold is at as far as getting a new drummer, and what the gameplan is from here on out.

@LarsUlrichFan07 Anyway, if you can't see what I'm saying (or atleast trying to get at), then f*ck off and go listen and comment on bands you like. But please. PLEASE! Have some respect for A7X. We are fans of rock and we should all stick together as one (and Pop and Raps ass).

@LarsUlrichFan07 @LarsUlrichFan07 You're are just a completely, sad and disrespectful little fag..Can't you see that A7X is, probably, the most legit and most respected band there is? And obviously Mike sees that as well.. And it's not only Mike that has total respect for them; It's anyone from Vinnie Paul (Pantera) to even Metallica! And yes, regardless of me only knowing "Through Her Eyes" and "Pull Me Under", DT is still a pretty awesome band..And A7X probably really like them too..

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.
