Mike Portnoy (ex-Dream Theater) Video Interview Available


Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy recently spoke to Remo percussion about his current projects and future plans. Check out the footage in two parts below.

Just days after it was announced that he'd been dismissed as the touring drummer for Avenged Sevenfold Portnoy revealed that he tried to rejoin Dream Theater, and was rebuffed.

Portnoy recently began laying down tracks on the debut album from the new band featuring Symphony X frontman Russell Allen and guitar virtuoso Mike Orlando (Sonic Stomp). Portnoy is also involved in a separate new project with guitarist Steve Morse (Deep Purple, Dixie Dregs), multi-instrumentalist Neal Morse (Transatlantic, Spocks's Beard), bassist Dave LaRue (Dixie Dregs) and vocalist Casey McPherson (Alpha Rev, Endochine). That group's debut album is tentatively due later in the year.
