THE GHOST OF DIO!!
MIKE PORTNOY
Leaving that band was the biggest
mistake of your life. I should know; I have
made many in my time, and am an expert
at recognizing life-course fuck-ups fairly
well now.
But yes, Mike Portnoy — who left Dream
Theater because he thought he was going
to be Avenged Sevenfold’s next drummer,
and has since been in a bunch of shit no
one cares about — spoke to some radio
station in Chile.
He was there with his band The Winery
Dogs.
Exactly.
Asked if he wants back in, Mike said,
“Sure. I would do it in a heartbeat.”
I know how he feels.
I have left women over the years and
done stupid shit to jeopardize jobs in the
past, and man…sometimes I wish I hadn’t.
Mike wishes he hadn’t left Dream Theater.
This much is clear.
I can spot regret from a mile away, man.
Mike then goes on to say the band’s the
“ones that have closed the door on it.
I’ve only needed a break, and I’ve had
that break. So I’m ready, willing and able.
But I honestly don’t think they ever will;
they’ve closed their door on it and I think
they’re too headstrong in having to prove
themselves without me. So I wouldn’t
count on it. But my door is always open.
