DT's Portnoy recording with Avenged Sevenfold
Yesterday, Avenged Sevenfold -- whose drummer James 'the Rev' Sullivan tragically passed away in December 2009 -- announced on their website that they are recording their new album with Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy.

Avenged Sevenfold said in part: "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. It's 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."

In reply, Mike Portnoy issued this statement today:

"Even under normal circumstances, I would've been happy to help the guys out in any way I could as I think Avenged Sevenfold are a great band...but under these incredibly sad and tragic circumstances, I must say I am truly honored to have been asked to play with them and I didn't even have to think twice about saying ‘yes.’

“These guys are a true family and it is an incredibly emotional experience to be here with them for the first time without their lost brother. But they have welcomed me into the family with open arms and there's a real excitement to make the record they had set out to make.

“I am treating my participation on this album with the utmost respect for Jimmy's memory and am remaining as true as possible to the drum parts that he wrote for the songs and the record he wanted to make.

“I want their fans to realize that I'm not trying to step into or fill The Rev's shoes...I'm just merely lacing 'em up for him!"

Very cool and all class by Mike Portnoy. As most know, I love Dream Theater. I also like Avenged Sevenfold. Can't wait to hear the new album.

Lame. Nice gesture, I guess, but still pretty lame.

It would be just like that if Avenged was a completely different band that sucked liked Limp Nicklebizkit.

I think that's a little over-board. Portnoy is a great drummer but is over-rated. I even predict that Mike's drum parts will be easier to play than the original drummers.

And don't think for one second that monetary compensation isn't involved...

Well, of course. The thing is that Portnoy is comfortable doing this kind of thing. The guy is OCD, I think. He likes to keep himself busy. He has done many side projects with musicians outside DT (and some with a DT member or two). I'm guessing this will turn out well.

Dude, seriously? Did you ever listen to Avenged Sevenfold's drumming? Their drummer was pretty damn impressive.

Well pretty assholish thing to say but w/e, the fact you compared limp bizkit to avenged sevenfold is pretty laughable, Limp Bizkit will die a thousand times over before Wes Borland drops once.
