Honestly him stepping in to help out Avenged Sevenfold after their drummer passed was super cool of him. Just helping finish that record and helping that band get back on their feet for a tour.... I really respect that
They had a lot of mutual respect. Portnoy always said that he helped A7F because he considered to The Rev how the best drummer of the world of the new era. For that reason, was a honor to help them.
@@SpidermanandJeny I wouldn't say him in A7X was the best version of them. I think the rev was the best musician in the group because he played lots of other instruments and sung on tracks but brooks is very good I'm not saying the best but the stage is one of there best albums yet
Saw DT in a small club in northern California in '92... Tickets were $5.00, the most stunning performance I'd seen in my life!! There were about 60 people in the club... They played like there were 10,000!!
@@jasonmcmurry1281 Was a fan of the 1st Album from '89, But never heard anything after that, thought they were done... Was I wrong!! That show was a week before my 32nd birthday (Yeah, I'm old!!) Saw Machine Head there in '95, and that was a Phenomenal show as well...
What makes this all the more impressive is he’s using a different kit on every shot. Most drummers are METICULOUS in setting up their kit EXACTLY the same. Every. Single. Time. Because of the importance of muscle memory, especially when you’re playing so many notes that it’d still be challenging for an octopus. But this cat always mixes it up, likely based on what sounds he wants for that particular show. Meaning he’s gotta retrain his muscles (muscle memorization?) where each drum/cymbal is. Definitely an elite level of virtuosity here.
These performances do cover like 20 actual years though. So it's not like he's changing his drum kit every night he plays. Fantastic player still, but it's not like these were recorded back to back.
Pfft! What a delusional joke! Senri Kawaguchi could play circles around this Schlock! Ugh! PutridCrap! You MetalZombies need to get your heads out of your beer-soaked butts!
I absolutely adore the guy. He's easily my favourite drummer of all time!! I have a signed drum head from him and it has a proud place in my room! He's such a wholesome guy as well!! Amazing musician, and a great person as well :) what a legend
"The great debate" IMO is musically Mike's best creation as a drummer. He puts everything he knows in that song. There are other tunes that may sound more technical but that one is like portnoy's resume.
I love how many times during The Glass Prison that he just casually pushes his glasses back up on the bridge of his nose while in the middle of performing a drum part that normal humans (i.e. everyone who isn't Mike Portnoy) have a hard enough time keeping up with *listening to*, much less *playing*. 😰
One of the times he’s the greatest drummer is every time… chops, tone consistency, flair, showmanship, the ability to do literally whatever he thinks of, his catalog of recorded music, compositions, arrangements, snd being able to recreate and deliver live, there’s no one any better. Just an opinion.
I think Mike's best attribute with DT, was the way he crafted his parts to fit with the songs. His drumming was a song in itself, but it generally fit really well with the rest of the band. He totally carried the band in the earlier years. I'm a guitarist and I got more excited listening to Mike than John.
Unbelievably hugely talented drummer. Insanely awesome to listen too. 100 years all day every day i couldn’t drum like that Amazing, one of the best ever hands fucking down. Not talking shit but there not anyone even close to touching him
Year 1999, just started drumming with my metal/rock band, trying to find drumming instruction videos, back in the day we had CD’s not even DVD’s are out. Found Mike Portnoy’s multi CD instruction videos on how to play some dream theater songs. We covered lot of those songs on concerts and man it was a blast. I even got myself a pair of Iron Cobra twin bass pedals. Mike is a legend. He is the best of the best.
His drum solo in Metropolis Part 1: The Miracle & the Sleeper and Pull Me Under and Winery Dogs' Elevate still make me think that Portnoy is part machine, the dude is that badass a drummer
this man is truly my greatest inspiration of all. For him is how I play today . Thank You Mike Portnoy for been One of a kind and inspire me TO PLAY DRUMS ...
Mike's a special kind of psycho - part man, part machine, and pure un-aldulterated talent. Can't imagine trying to drum like him, let alone remembering all of those complex song arrangements!
So glad he's back! The songwriting in DT just hasn't been the same since he left. Portnoy wrote most of my favorite songs. Can't wait for the new album!
@@Fister_of_Muppets Agreed, I was playing everything up to Scenes From a Memory back when I was in high school in the late 90's. It's not hard. The talent of Portnoy is the fact he came up with those percussive lines.
It's too bad that this is what Loudwire thinks "cool" drummers do. Mike has some REALLY good parts in dt that they didn't mention. For example the "growing and shrinking" section from Fatal Tragedy and the In the Name of God polyrythm.
@@siddharthmani3176 That's what I'm screaming. Portnoy is both the most overrated and most underrated drummer in the world. It's like Eddie Van Halen. You hear his stuff and think he's immortal. Then you learn about RLRLKK (or fretboard tapping in Van Halen's case) and think he's overrated. Then you actually try to play their stuff and whoops, not so easy. People talk like that's all Portnoy can do. That's not the case at all. He's PHENOMENAL. There's a reason why such a who's who of drumming royalty auditioned for the band. You learned about RLRLKK and now you've got Dream Theater all figured out, huh? Post a video of you playing The Great Debate. I'll wait...
@@seanwool Yeah, just like Siddhartha is saying... I'm not implying Portnoy isn't a great drummer, although I don't really think his solos are amazing. It's just every time someone (like loud wire) tries to showcase his talent, they show this stuff which barely scratches the surface of what he can do.
Lots of drummers can bash. Lots of drummers have technical ability. It's rare to find drummers who are compositionally-minded. As phenomenal as he is technically, his composition is off the charts. He plays beautifully complex parts that serve the song. Unquestionably my favorite drummer of all time.
The drum solo to wind it down at the end from Live Metropolis Scenes From New York is some of the greatest playing and I have ever seen and heard. Incredible! Top bloke as well. To step in to The Rev’s shoes and help A7X finish the Nightmare album after Jimmy passed away was amazing. Ego left outside, just helping out mates! They must have been so in awe of him! Bit like Rich Williams from Kansas speaking about when Steve Morse agreed to join the band in the mid-eighties and helped produce two stellar Kansas albums! Things is, it was actually Morse who considered it a privilege to play with the band and perform their songs as he has always been a huge Kansas fan!
Mike is just a ton of fun to watch and listen to. He brings so much enthusiasm to it, and every hit is played with power and conviction. His snare sound and double kicks are both legendary. He's tight as hell. Precise and quick but not to the point of self-indulgent wankery. A "musical" drummer. Definitely one of the best drummers of the last few decades.
I hear a lot of people talking about their favorite drummer and why It's not being published instead of this guy. 1) I'm not a fan of this guy but the dude is awesome at drums. More technical than any drummer you name. 2) Your favorite drummers who you think are best has a great band they are in and with the back of vocals, Guitarist, bassets etc.That's why they have hits.
"WAS" He still is! I have been playing the drums since I was 8 years old and he is one of the best syncopated drummers I have ever heard. He is on the level with John Bonham in off beat playing, and his drumming is energetically as intricate as Neal Peart.
@@BruhMomentPatrick they're just great all round players they're unorthodox styles made me up my double kick for the sake of it game back in the early 90s I'm still pretty shit lol!!
@@MrCayuga But still Mangini does not even have half the feel portnoy has. Like the best performance from Mangini that I came across was was during his audition for DT and from what I have seen he is still nowhere near portnoy in terms of feel, creativity or technicalities. But sure Mangini is still one of the best drummers in the world.
yeah man! saw them in '92 as well in a small theater in Kansas City for the Images and Words tour and Portnoy absolutely blew the doors off the place! Best drum solo I'd ever witnessed. Raw, furious and unforgettable. He solidified himself as a top-tier musician from then on! Icing on the cake was they all stayed after to meet with the fans and my girlfriend and I got to meet and talk with them except for Myung. He bolted. Rest of the guys were unbelievably cool and kind to hang out after a show like that. I still have the CD with the inner cover signed by all. (Except Myung :) - Portnoy was one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. Very cool dude.
Mikes the type of dude who makes playing a 20+ piece kit look like hes just doing a lil of this over here and a lil of that over there. Whata phenomenon of a human being.
Honestly him stepping in to help out Avenged Sevenfold after their drummer passed was super cool of him. Just helping finish that record and helping that band get back on their feet for a tour.... I really respect that
Yap and The Rev was a big fan of Mike so ...
They had a lot of mutual respect.
Portnoy always said that he helped A7F because he considered to The Rev how the best drummer of the world of the new era. For that reason, was a honor to help them.
I saw him on one of those tour dates in SoCal. Really good show. I think him in A7X might be the best version of A7X.
Perhap's Portnoy jumped ship from D.T. because of his new found excitement?
I love M.P. & M.M. & The REV. just my
humble opinion....
@@SpidermanandJeny I wouldn't say him in A7X was the best version of them. I think the rev was the best musician in the group because he played lots of other instruments and sung on tracks but brooks is very good I'm not saying the best but the stage is one of there best albums yet

Mike Portnoy is my all time favorite I dont care some people say theres drummers faster than him out there but his creativity is beyond speed.
His sound is perfect too!
Neil Peart
My fav drummer too. And being a legend id not depend on being faster. The energy, creativity, productivity, live performence and many things you know
Creativity, feel and sound.
Peart was amazing but he's gone now. I can't wait to hear what Portnoy does now that he's rejoining Dream Theater.
Video should be titled “The Seven Hairstyles of Mike Portnoy”
This made me legitimately lol...like actually audible. Thank you sir
And on the 2nd hour of the 7th Hairstyle, God proclaimed "Grant thy mortal creation bristles of verdant riches, adorned amidst an onyx diadem"
And facial hair
🤣🤣🤣
XD
I love watching Mike drum. Every time I see a live vid of him it reminds me of why he was The Rev's favorite drummer.
"why didn't you put a snare there ?"
"I had to fix my glasses"
Haha,yeah I noticed that.
This guy's great. He should have auditioned in Dream Theater.
TRUTH!!!!

Mine too
