From the band FaceBook page
A Message From Mike Portnoy:
It saddens me to announce that the 4 upcoming shows in Latin America this month supporting Halestorm will be my last with Adrenaline Mob.Unfortunately, I have scheduling conflicts that prevent me from being able to fully commit to the band's future activities at the moment.As I cannot be in two places at the same time, I don't want to hold them back and have to wait for my schedule to re-open up to resume activity.I'm very proud of what we started together and the music we made over the past two years and I wish the guys all the best in the future.

It's a bit odd that he left a group that he basically created.
Hang on, that idea seems familiar...

Good. Now he can focus on Flying Colors, who are infinitely better. Adrenaline Mob sound so generic.

Doesn't he have another trio he's working with? I saw some videos. It's more rock pop. He really just needs to get something full time going where he can grow a dedicated band. Maybe some fusion thing like Planet X. obviously, he's freeing things up for Transatlantic!

Good. Now he can go back to making music that's not awful.

Portnoy is a stupid kid. He joins 3024802348209 bands. Then he leaves complaining that he doesn't have time. Of course he doesn't, so why does he join so many bands? He doesn't give a sh*t about the other members. What an irresponsible guy. And yet he has many fans who kiss their ass.

I like Portnoy, but people like him are the reason many cliques exist. A few that come to mind,
"He writes checks with his mouth that his ass can't cash."
"He has good intentions, but the road to hell is paved with the bricks of good intentions." Enough said.

So when is someone going to question why this is "prog news"? (prog-related maybe...)

I won't comment on his supposed intelligence, but he's pretty far from a kid.

I don't know why he didn't take that band with Derek Sherinian, Tony McAlpine, and Billy Sheean further. Seemed like they could have recorded a really cool jazz- fusion album.

Well...my favorite Portnoy is his work with Morse and Transatlantic (and I suppose Flying Colors). If the announcement means more of these collaborations, then I think it's a good thing!
(Full disclosure: have not heard Adrenaline Mob)
------------- Thank you, God of Rock, for this chance to kick ass

I still need to pick up that Flying Colors album. But from what I've heard of it, it's much better than AM.

Most things are, but to be honest, the Flying Colors album is mostly forgettable, except for the first and last track.

Insulting someone (IN INTERNET) with reason is being arrogant? Please, consult the dictionary.

I meant he uses it as an excuse to leave the band. If his interests change often, don't join a band to stay. If he was invited, fine.
Dayvenkirq wrote:
How do you figure? |
Well, if he did, would he leave like that? It takes him one year to figure out he won't have time? No, he knew it from the beginning. If you join a band, you have a responsability. Not only to yourself, but to the others too.

I choose myself when I am negative or not, thank you very much.

^ I'm sorry, but you've handled the quotation in such a way that it makes referring to different issues very inconvenient.

Mike Portnoy has major OSD. He is always gonna take on so much...it'll never change. He will probably leave Transatlantic at some point. I won't be surprised. Portnoy is "chaos in
Motion." the wheels never stop turning. ;)
