The really noticeable differences, IMO, will be with things like lyrics, dvd production, etc. Those were the kind of things that a guy with OCD like Portnoy were made for. Of course, I say all this before even knowing who will replace him. That task sounds next to impossible but I have faith in those guys.

Still, I am very sad to see him go. WTF is he gonna do now? Go full time With Avenged Sevenfold?

**** that. Portnoy was the best musician in that band and you know it.
