He´s like metal´s Dave Grohl

 

[The Unavoidable]

Like smearing shit on a sandwich made of vomit.




j/k, I guess it will be cool

 

[MEGA DAVE]

So I told my drummer about this and felt I had to share his reply= "Lmao. And the Avenged Sevenfold became AVENGED MEGAFOLD !!"

Sounds about right

Hopefully they don't let him "sing" on it. uke:uke:

It wouldn't really matter much to me, though, b/c their music is already vomit-inducing.

 

[TheWinterSnow]

Mike can do so much better. What the hell is he doing associating with amateur Halloween metal bands?

 

[Line666]

I actually like Avenged Sevenfold since they moved more towards commercial rock.

I liked their first 2 albums a lot. City of Evil was ok, but I haven't like any of their new stuff. James Sullivan was actually a really good drummer though; he influenced me a lot when I was 14 or 15 years old and starting to play metal.

he was a great drummer, and was the only one in the bands that not only could stand, but somewhat liked. He was the only one that seemed somewhat "normal"

and the adventures of PRETEND METALFOLD carry on....

I'm with Owen on this one - I actually liked them more as they became more commercial. Sure it may be vomit inducing, but it's damn catchy at times. uke:uke:uke:

 

[MetalJonesy]

city of evil was a cracking album, deffo prefered the more commercial/produced stuff, but none the less im a fan of their tunes and this will be cool!

 

[cloy26]

I remember when unholy confessions was THE riff to play. lolol

 

[Kazrog]

Great band, I actually enjoy their records quite a bit. Very cool of Mike, he seems very humble.

Did you even read the article?

We asked Jimmy's all time favorite drummer Mike Portnoy to record on behalf of him. Mike said it would be an honor and without question that’s what Jim would have wanted. Its comforting to us that someone like Mike, who is undoubtedly revered as one of the best drummers in the world, held such respect and adoration for the Rev's abilities.


Respect to Mike.

 

[Lowberg]

whats gonna happen is.... hes gonna lay all of the drum tracks down in 1 take for every song in under 5 minutes total, and the rest of the douche7x band will explode

and dream theater will come out with another album

 

[Keregioz]

Hmmm.....so if I "arranged" for my drummer to die I would improve my chances of having Mike Portnoy playing in my band.......interesting.
