ADRENALINE MOB Featuring Mike Portnoy Russell Allen Mike Orlando Paul DiLeo Rich Ward Playing a sneak preview of songs from their upcoming debut album as well as a few classic covers! Fri, June 24th 2011 at 8pm The Hiro Ballroom, New York City 16th Street and 9th Avenue Very limited tickets available now at: http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=3746565 Could be good. Could be shit.
I'm definitely interested to see how much influence MP had in this group. I've heard things about Mike Orlando. Douchey things, to be exact. Having 2 giant egos conflicting like this can lead to a stellar failure. Can't wait.
$10 to see Russ be awesome 3 blocks from my apt....yes please. And yes, uber gay band name. This is going to be Portnoy's Hellyeah.
Seeing someone like Russell Allen waste his talents on "classic rock covers" would be such a huge disappointment.
I think it would be very entertaining to see him cut lose and have some fun with some classic rock covers. It's not like he's quitting Symphony X to join a cover band. Personally, I'd love to see him rock a few Dio classics like Stargazer or Signs of the Southern Cross. I don't think that's wasting his talent at all.
This is really not a band particularly benefited by Portnoy's presence. He doesn't have the groove to make them sound the way they ought to. I'm stoked to hear Rich and Russ though, that's dynamite. Rich hasn't really worked with any powerhouse vocalists in the past, so that facet should be gold.
MP posted this on Facebook. I've never seen someone look so douchey playing the guitar. And check him out on acoustic... Just give him an electric. Jesus Christ.
If he applies that style/technique to AM and Russ tears it up on vocals, it could actually be a damn good album. God help us all if Portnoy tries to sing on this album...
Worst band name ever. If anything inspires fist-pumping and douche chills, it's "Adrenaline Mob." Jesus. All that logo is missing is the Greek frat letters and the pot leaf. Icy Hot Stuntaz eat your heart out.
It sounds like the members should be M. Shadows, Zakk Wylde, Kerry King, Tommy Lee, and Gene Simmons.
I'm not liking their page just to hear their damn teaser. Fuck their cheap marketing tactics to get their fan numbers up.
I liked it and then unliked it cause that teaser was beat as hell. Fuck Portnoy. He should just release a song or a 30-60 snip of one song, no 3 secs of 10 songs mashed together. I'm sorry Mike, we don't all have ADHD.
finally watched the acoustic vid when will guitarists learn that shredding used to be cool and impressive in the 90s but now everyone and their grandma can do it, so you might as well write something that doesn't suck and isn't riddled with unnecessary wank? I legitimately lol'd when he launched into that fast tapping shit out of nowhere near the start of the video.
@mikeportnoy O MY GOD....Adrenaline Mob rehearsals have begun and the live energy and chemistry between us is absolutely ELECTRIC!!!! Brace yourselves... 4 minutes ago
Some sick riffs in there. Production sounds bland. The last song will be my favorite. Predicting at least 150 squealies per song.
Not as bad as I was expecting. However, I remember being REALLY pumped about the BC&SL teaser only to be let down when the album leaked....
Judging by the teaser, I predict the band will be marginally better than Hellyeah and marginally worse than Chickenfoot.

so Orlando and Allen had the project running for a long time and Portnoy comes in and takes over. SHOCKING
