@Zappafan1980 I totaly agree.

And I'm SOO excited to hear his "Adrenaline Mob" record with Russel and Mike Orlando.

The sample sounds amazing *-*

Yeah Mike Portnoy must be in the Top 10 of the coolest fathers ever

I mean he teaches his 13 year old Son Max to play the drumms

How cool is that ?

I cant wait for the next Dream Theater CD even without Portnoy

i mean i can understand his reasons

@Zappafan1980 In my case, it was my father who told me about Frank Zappa. Unfortunately my father is not Mike Portnoy. XD

@13stampf

I learned about the existance of Frank Zappa by reading in a Mike Portnoy Interview

that it would be his dream to be Frank Zappas drummer in 1989

Then i went to a music store the next day bought a Random Frank Zappa CD

and i was turned into a Fan the next day

That was 2006

Mike is just a genius! Love the guy.

Hot Rats to me is the longest Guitar solo in the history of Rock that does not sound long at all.

Only Zappa could do that

[tjanuranus]

was there!

Love Portnoy, love Zappa. Isn't it cool how the best musicians in the world have played with Zappa at some stage, and furthermore that these musicians are metal musicians?

Mike Portnoy sent me here.
