Also, we need more James Labrie's lyrics. It was Portnoy who didn't aloud him to write lyrics for BC&SL and that was a mistake. Jordan is great when he is compossing with John, more that shreddring with Mike, so, the change is good and eventually, when his ego ease a little bit he will be back...

Mike:
"I mean, we have one bandmember that would literally not even sit in the same room with the rest of us for years now and we'd only see him on stage or at meet-and-greets.." Myung, i think. I honestly hope they kick Labrie out, I can only stand the instrumental versions of BC&SL. he should had quit since that damn fish incident

What utter bullsh*t on that magazine cover. It looks like some freaking tabloid magazine with those quotes. I definitely won't be picking that up.

Mike leaving DT is like if Neil was to leave Rush. When JP and JMX found Mike at berkley there was a connection and this ability to feel each others music that most musicians dont get to experience. Its not everyday you just run into people you can write and connect with for over 25 years. Its like finding your dream woman. Well they were each others dream musicians. Most of the bands we all listen to were formed by producers or by guys trying to make "super groups. "yeah the music is great but you dont have the emotion. You can feel the emotion on every DT album and how they were all feeling when the record was made. DT will not be able to produce the feeling or emotion through their music without Mike. they are a team. The music will still be great but it will NOT be DT.
The largest problem with prog bands and well bands in general is that they arent writing for each other. They write to be different, or cool, or to make money. Bands like DT, RUSH, Steven Wilson(porcupine Tree), Mikael Akerfeld(Opeth), Sting, you can truly feel what they are portraying through their music and thats why they are so successful. By being themselves an doing what they want to do they are different and people love that. -Mike Tyree ( Intersecting Horizons) - "these guys are the new RUSH"- Tony Gammolo (producer/spider studios/cleveland) vote for us in the project independent music showcase http://www.projectindependent.net band myspace http://www.myspace.com/intersectinghorizons free downloads of Intersecting Horizons at http://www.puregrainaudio.com |

Well I guess that he left for the benefit of him and his family. If thats even ONE of the reasons then his decision is the right one. If he is not happy at his "place of work" then its time to leave for all concerned, and lets hope that after a break he comes back with more exciting projects (and the fourth Transatlantic album of course).

We will see how much MP input was important with the band on the next release. I am not that convince that the band can't make a better cd than the last one without MP. |

Hi,
Give the band a chance ... it might, in the end be for the best and the 4 guys left work together even better ... and create something stronger and more intense.
Bad part for the drummer is that he is in a temporary group ... and that work will be over soon, and then he will be out of a job ... maybe he is rich enough he doesn't need it ... and could use a break to help find out who he is inside ... and then get back to work ... might be the best thing that ever happened to him!
I can just see it ... a tour with DT and the support band is one with Mike drumming in it! His own band! Edited by moshkito - December 13 2010 at 18:56 |

His last facebook update was so whiney, saying the only one's that got him through the year was his family...basically calling his fans c**ts in my opinion...he needs to stop being so stuck up...the rest of the band have put the split to rest and moved on...WHY CAN'T HE!

What if Marco Minnemann would be the new drummer. Perhaps the supergroup he's in with Jordan Rudess is a sneak way of announcing him...?

Hi,
I hope they get an unknown drummer ... and someone that has a bit of the "anti-music" and "anti-metal" thing to their drumming ability, so he/she can help color the music way better and make it more interesting.
I would think that the last thing they want right now is to sound like the last album, or like the album 10 years ago, or the album 20 years ago.

No, that's LaBrie. He has been in a long feud with Portnoy and is know to work separately from the band since Scenes, when he only acted / did anything at the time of singing the vocals, and that's how it has been ever since. Besides, LaBrie is the one with five solo albums. And he have no credit in any song in Black Clouds. This sure smell fishy. |

See, again, Mike trying to tell anyone what to do and how to do it. He needs to relax a bit, because James writes better songs than him...

Really? I hate every single solo album that LaBrie has released so far, though his last two albums, released under his own name, were a bit better than the ones as MullMuzzler. His latest is pretty bad, though. It is as if he managed to WORSEN the already terrible Göthenburg-style melodic death metal. Edited by CCVP - December 14 2010 at 18:36 |

I personally think he's going to go the way of Neville Chamberlain... he may have done great things in the past, but history is going to remember him as the guy that left his bandmates for a younger, 'hip' band instead.

"I'm devastated they chose to continue without me" - Mike Portnoy
Unless that's taken out of context, that's the whiniest little baby comment I've heard in years. Anyone pick it up to confirm/deny context? |

There is no context. He has been whining since he decided to focus on his side projects. |
