Mike Portnoy records with Avenged Sevenfold

As reported on www.Blabbermouth.net and MikePortnoy.com

That's awesome! Especially the last line, very clever & I'm sure this is how The Rev would've wanted it done. RIP.

Well, as usual, Portnoy's at no loss for words.

Just play, Mike. Just play.

Like him or not, that's a pretty classy move.

So, does that quote mean that the Rev had already recorded scratch parts and Portnoy is going to learn them and play them? That is classy.

Agreed. And, I do like him...when he's playing...not so much when he's talking.

MP just earned a thousand cool points in my book.

Did anyone ever find out the cause of death?

autopsy was "inconclusive."

but i wouldn't have to think too hard to figure out what killed a 28 y/o rockstar.

Though you certainly would be snorting aggressively.

indeed.

Sounds to be like a band that I care nothing for just added a drummer that I care nothing for.

And yet here you are, clicking on a thread and posting in it that references both of them directly in the title... sorry to have outed your love for both.

Ouch! I didn't mean to hurt any feelings. Apparently I was being too subtle. What I really meant was. I thought Avenged Savenfold had potential if they could just make up their mind about whether they were going to be that wierd category of music that bands like Linkin Park fit into, or if they were going to be metal. So, they go pick up a guy from a band who wanted to be metal and was called metal by thousands of people that were brainless. Seems they will forever ride that fence. Only problem their is that teenagers grow up and their listening pool will rapidly decline.

Sounds like it will be a pretty great project to me.....kudos to MP for doing something cool.
