Mike Portnoy has left the building

Michael Stephen 'Mike' Portnoy
1985-2010
25 years with Dream Theater

'To all of our loyal fans and friends: It is with profound sadness -- regret -- we announce that Mike Portnoy, our lifelong drummer and friend, has decided to leave Dream Theater. Mike's stature in the band has meant the world to all of us professionally, musically, and personally over the years. There is no dispute: Mike has been a major force within this band.

While it is true that Mike is choosing to pursue other ventures and challenges, we can assure you that Dream Theater will continue to move forward with the same intensity -- and in the same musical tradition -- that you have all helped make so successful, and which is truly gratifying to us.

Fans and friends: File this episode under "Black Clouds and Silver Linings." As planned, we begin recording our newest album in January 2011, and we'll follow that with a full-on world tour. "The Spirit Carries On."

All of us in Dream Theater wholeheartedly wish Mike the best on his musical journey. We have had a long and meaningful career together. It is our true hope that he finds all he is looking for, and that he achieves the happiness he deserves. He will be missed.'

What the fuck man? How you can do that? You with Dream Theater is already 25 years. How can you do that? You were the founder of Dream Theater and Majesty. You depressed all the band members esspecially John Petrucci.

You with him almost in the same years you with Dream Theater. I don't know how John wanna arrange the rhythm of the music on Dream Theater without you. For surely since Dream Theater in music history, all the arrangement of music and the lyrics of the song mostly from two of you.

How long can Dream theater stand without you? I'm surely said that Dream Theater will rise up without you. It's take time. I know that Dream Theater can find another drummer but is not the same that you were playing. If not, Dream Theater is over. They will split each other and no more progessive rock from them. I will miss it. :((

Come on Dream Theater. Wake up. Do something about it. Bring it on back the DT fans. Don't let DT fans down man. It's really-really fuck up myself. I hate it with his decision. What can I do more? Shit!!

I know that I'm not supposed to do this but I have too because I really like and love this band. I will keep supporting Dream Theater anyway. They can live without him. Build up some new proggesive rock music. Make sure you guys keep working a good song towards without him.

I don't know whether Mike will join Avenged Sevenfold or not but the news I heard he will to. I don't know why he join it. Maybe he doesn't want to play progessive music anymore. He want to try something new. It ok. It your choice. I and DT fans can't do anything with it.

On behalf of DT fans, We surely sad and regret that Mike Portnoy has to leave Dream Theater. And we were sorry to A7X for some rude that DT fans towards on you. Thanks for the music that you have made to Dream Theater through all the years Mike.
