| Haha. Well, atleast hes still trying to remain relevant..even though its only with Yellow....what?! |
|
|

Can't believe he went from DT to this  should've kept some dignity and just quit or something now he's making a fool out of himself  |

No point talking about the Beatles on this site. I'm sure hundreds on here would be scared to listen to something that isn't metal. All the musicians in this tribute band are excellent  |

I love the Beatles. If it wasn't for the Beatles and Black Sabbath, we wouldn't have all these great musicians..... |

What does having Paul Gilbert with him have to do with anything? Does he play at Las Vegas Lounges?
@Junglemanchild: Not me!  The Beatles are awesome. xD |

As stated in the previous Portnoy news, Wilson and Akerfeldt work on it... without him. |

| This is getting really old. I like Portnoy a lot, especially for his drumming in DT. But it seems to me that he really has no idea what to do with himself outside of Dream Theater, and is just going to continue doing all of these pointless projects in an effort to garner attention. To be honest, I couldn't care less about this band, or the other band that he formed with the two Morse brothers a week ago. It's just stupid. |
|
|
|
| As stated, they've done this before, and it's nothing new for Mike. He's a big music fan and he's been involved with tribute stuff before. I don't see where the "shame" is in paying tribute to artists that inspire you. :/ |

Exactly. I dont remember people getting out the knives for him when he played in this exact same tribute band while he was actually still in Dream Theater. Why are all of a sudden people moaning about it now, just beacuse he isnt in DT anymore?  |

I don't like the Beatles. I perfer the Rolling Stones.
But it seems alot of people on this site are VERY close-minded.
For shame. |
|
|
|
| So Mike is a very talented drummer... but that's not important here. the big question is "Can Mike flip his hair for the camera like Ringo?" |

I guess it's exactly that
Plus, of course, that Portnoy does actually need to prove he's still alive and relevant, of course... Hey, he was ditched from DT, A7X, the Portnot-Akerfeldt-Wilson project, and he has, as of now, no real band to speak of. |
|
|
|
| The problem with Portnoy at this point isn't that he's in a cover band, or in another dead end side project with whoever else... the point is that he's in the fuckin news 3 or 4 times a god damn week since his departure from A7X... which was probably the single smartest thing THEY have ever done. It's ridiculous, he's releasing a statement about this incident, and he's saying he's startin' up some shit with these guys and blah blah blah... shut the fuck up Portnoy, you're rich, bow out with some dignity, while you're still reasonably respected, at least as a drummer if not a person. Dream Theater don't want you anymore, play drums in your basement... we can't all do it forever man, and right now, he's just marring his reputation with all these "statements" and promises and "just you wait and see" comments... bullshit. His career's over, he just can't admit it. |

making it just another opeth album..
portnoy is a musical slute |

| I thought the picture was a joke, but now I'm too afraid to admit that this is the actual poster. |
|
|
|
| It's not like this is some new thing though. He played with these guys in 2003. I don't see anything wrong with it. If I had a chance to do a couple shows with Paul Gilbert, I'd take it. |
|
|
|
| A bit of a waste of talent if you ask me xD |

Lot of crazy posts here. The Beatles are badass, Dudes, get with the program!
I'd love to see this shit! |

I'm in Minnesota so I *LOVE* this comment! |

|
| This band existed with Mike Portnoy in 2003, so the concept of Mike Portnoy being in a Beatles tribute band isn't new. While Portnoy is a great drummer, I have caught on to the amount of attention he's received after leaving Dream Theater, and that is an area of concern. |

Members needed for new band The Publicity Whores,
Mike Portnoy, drums
Timo Tolkki, guitars
Like minded egomaniacs needed to create music that is bound to disappoint. |

Publicity whores, eh?
Add Axl Rose, vocals  |

Of course, since it is an obvious fact that Mike is only in for the money it is flat out impossible that he could be doing something just because he actually likes it, whether it gets him admiration and money or not.
Ya right, he only wants fame and money and that's why he leaves that irrelevant band - what was their name again? - and pursues a project that's going to get him loads of screaming fangirls. Freaking sellout!
The comments on here are approaching Blabbermouth levels of genius. |
