lol Mike Portnoy

Most musicians use my in that manner. Let's take a deep breath, Dave.

Hey MP, you want 2 CDs?

SEE DEEZ NUTZ!!

You're trying too hard.

This thread has just become a place where people who like poking fun of MP go to get that tiny boost of estrogen obtained from saying things about celebrities on the internet.

Glory.

He's right, except they're probably more like 26.

They don't allow you to have bees in here.

I can find the beauty in JELLYFISH and U2 just as much as OPETH and LAMB OF GOD, just as much as I can with RUSH and YES.

I know withAVENGED SEVENFOLD, they didn't like the social media. Once I was touring with them I wasn't going to just cut off my fan base because I was playing in a band that wasn't very open.

But it's always the one that makes me fucking insane and crazy as oppose to the ninety nine that are saying great things.

This guy is just showing more and more evidence of narcissistic personality disorder.

I think we have this thread to thank (blame?) for about 75% of all new 5/8 users in the past year.

In my case, I wanted to discuss ADTOE before it was released and couldn't stand the fascist embargo on leak discussion on DTF so I came over here. I imagine it was the same for a lot of people...came for the ADTOE, stayed for the lol Mike Portnoy

It's ok, I joined due to The Count of Tuscany thread which was the lolMikePortnoy of BC&SL.

I actually think this is a great interview with him, he presents himself quite well.

no he doesn't, make sure you know how to read and interpret...

lolPortnoy said:
"I just don't see the need for the negative, mean responses. There's no need for that. If you don't like it, move on. If it's not your cup of tea, then just move on."

That's pretty rich coming from the guy who said this about his bandmate of 25+ years:
"Check out the first song on [John Petrucci's] fave album of the year…. WOW, the arrangement and orchestration sounds awfully familiar!! Surely it must be an intentional 'nugget' for the fans… It couldn't possibly be blatant formula plagiarism, now could it…?? I just have to laugh…Hey…I'm not trying to start a war…. and I am indeed totally in a happy place in my life and career… I'm just merely making an observation and posting openly on my own forum like I always have and always will… If anybody ELSE wants to blow this up, it's their choice and doing…not mine! And PS – to defend music that I co-wrote/arranged (that were cited previously in this thread), there's a difference between 'inspiration corner'/'copping a certain vibe' and blatantly re-writing an existing song or formula section by section…"

Expecting Portnoy to practice what he preaches isn't realistic.

And that is really sad that he lets 1 criticism out of 100 get to him. Talk about a glass half empty guy. With that attitude, he'll never be happy. He talked about how happy he is when he turns the computer off and lives his life: maybe he should look out for just himself and do that. It might help with his mental health. Really.

Maybe he should just fuck off and quit being such a goddamn baby

fuckin' portnoy eh

Yeah, it is REALLY hard to get past that comment he made. Just SO dumb, no matter what state of mind you are in. Nail in the coffin as far as him returning to DT with that one.

He says over and over that he lets Internet criticism get to him way more than he should, and that he'll never stop being sensitive about it.

How many people ITT would actually say their posts verbatim to his face? Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who wrote an extremely long diatribe about how much I hate MP. That interview was the first time he seemed reasonable instead of having double-speak about how DT was only good with him in it.

MP is a fucking idiot. Anyone surprised by this or is expecting something rational to come from MP is also an idiot.

"Sometimes you've got to be wrong, and learn from mistakes. I live with serenity now, not self-righteous hate."

lol Mike Portnoy

isn't the whole ripping off other bands thing what mp did for a long ass time in dt, particularly Muse on the octavarium album?

Twelve lol-steps to total douchery


- Shattering the Stale Prison

I) You're tired of obsessively controling and
commanding all aspects of your band. Everyone
knows - cause hey, you told them! - that you
sistematically get your bandmates tired of
yourself and your jerk way to get things done
always as YOU please.

And then some great day you ask your band
for a break cause in-band relationships have
gone stale.

lol MP

II) You tell everyone your new all-star 1st place
charting band had nothing to do with your
decision.

But then you say in every single interview
that hangin with guys from other bands made
you realize that your own 25 year "that's
my baby booh booh band" were going stale...

lol MP

III) While the heat is still up, you start liking
comments on facebook that say a lot of shit
about your former 25 year band mates, besides all your
"I'm happily moving on" "100% positive" speech...

lol MP

- Breaked my own Ass and Balls

IV) Your new "super duper non-stale fella gang"
that you were hoping would someday give you a
nice "teeny weeny" enraged band nickname kick
you in the butt...

lol MP

V) After leaving your main band and being kicked
of your new main band, you put away three months
of douchery comments and negative statements and
come back crying like a baby to the "stale I need
5 years of pause" former band... please accept me
back again, like nothing had ever hapenned

lol MP

VI) After having the door shut right in your face,
you say that you did it for the fans, even
the mineral world knowing that in general you never
served the fans but served yourself of them to inflate
your own ego as well as creating the nicest image of
yourself and your band as possible

lol MP

- A Shitstorm to remember

VII) You back up a fundametalistic fan version where
your former band copied ALL song structures from their
biggest classic, like that was the biggest deal ever

You didn't even see it coming that everyone would
know how insecure and jealous you feel by implying
your old mates were trying to rewrite the past time
without you or some crazy shit like that

Topics gets debated like hell, most people agree
ass ball licking fan is a douche, chart copying thing
is a total bullshit nonsense of a debate

And you back the little douche again saying the
debate was underrated by the fans

lol MP

VIII) Another fan states similarities between a new
song from the former band's new album and another
song of the #1 best album from former fellow
guitarist...

You accuse him of blatant plagiarism

Everyone points the finger in your face telling you
it's nothing compared to when you were in the band

lol MP

IX) Adrenaline Mob's EP...

lol MP

- This dying reason

X) In the 1st aniversary of the main douche move,
former Avenged fella gives an interview that
totally ruins your version of the 25 year baby band
break-up, backing up you old band mates version
where A7x especially contributed for your decision
to leave the band, since you thought they would
make you their new drummer

And your(probably?) ball munching sister made you
look ever worse cause "there were 1000 proofs of
mike's version" and every worm that comes out this
womb denies your version of the whole process

You ruined your chances in both bands when you had
it all in your sticks, and both points of view
contradicts you

lol MP

XI) Your new attempt to grab the limelight in the
music industry is a band that incarnates the example
of everything 40yo over the top Prog musicians
should never do in their careers

And again, in all band interviews everyone looks
stale as you are the only one talking and saying
things like you are the mastermind behind it all...

Behind one of the shitiest bands most people ever
heard, even those who are not Hardcore Prog fans

lol MP

XII) Now you're living a shit life full of negativity
because you care more about what the 0,5% 13yo
basement teen trolls says about you then what the
other 99% fundamentalist "MP could do my mom in
the ass awesome!" legion tells ya...

And now everyone thinks you can't even shut down
a motha fuckin psychomputer and find better things to
do than search the deeper depths of the Web for
every negative comment about you

lol MP

tl;dr

I don't report posts, but I had to make an exception this time. I hope you die, Lwol.
