    His drumming here is so technical and complex yet it transports his emotions perfectly.That Ladies and Gentleman is one of the reasons why Mike Portnoy is one of the best drummers on earth today.

      It does not matter what year it is, Dream theatre pieces are always way ahead of every generation. This art is gone when these rock generation is gone. You will see more and more like of System of a Down type because fans are becoming more and more crazy like the bands.

    O Portnoy pode não ser o mais técnico de todos, mas é aquele que faz a música ter vida, ter alma, e isso torna um músico inesquecível, até os dias atuais ainda não vi um baterista que deixasse qualquer música à beira da perfeição quanto o Mike Portnoy.

    • @jtorresdaniel
      @jtorresdaniel 4 роки тому +1

      Eso esta bien. El problema es que el queria tiempo indefinido y dejar la banda botada, no justamente para dejar de tocar, sino mas bien irse a tocar con otros musicos, que en mi opinion actualmente estan fuera de su estilo. Mike portnoy fuera de dream theater ya no brilla. Mike Brilla con petrucci y rudess basicamente.
