Mike Portnoy quits the band...
Mike Portnoy quit Dream Theater. This band was my favorite since I was in middle school and I've seen them live nearly ten times in those tenish years of fandom. Portnoy was not only the (awesome) drummer for this group but was also the face of the band. This, surprisingly, saddens me greatly. Dream Theater will not be the same without Portnoy, but I'm certainly not going to start listening to Avenged Sevenfold just to hear him. Disappointed...
In memory I bring you this drum solo Portnoy performed at a show in CT (which I was at)...it's pretty ballin...check it out. He IS the youngest drummer ever inducted into the drumming hall of fame..
