A7X ENTERS STUDIO WITH MIKE PORTNOY Wed, 02/17/2010 - 23:57
General news

I want our fans to know that with Jimmy in our hearts, our journey to record has officially began. Jimmy helped leave this world an amazing gift and now it's our job to make sure to deliver that gift to our fans. We asked Jimmy's all time favorite drummer Mike Portnoy to record on behalf of him. Mike said it would be an honor and without question that’s what Jim would have wanted. Its comforting to us that someone like Mike, who is undoubtedly revered as one of the best drummers in the world, held such respect and adoration for the Rev's abilities. Even though it will never be the same without our brother by our side, his essence lives in our hearts and through the music he helped create. He was a legend before any of the success or any of that **** and we are **** excited to lay this down for our fans, and especially for Jimmy.
-Avenged Sevenfold

Interesting, I'm wondering if this will have an effect on the sound of the band while recording. I'm certain it'll be positive though.

I'm excited.

[HxC A7X Fan]

Yeah, I'm even more eager for the new album now.
I haven't really heard anything by Dream Theater, besides the song available on Rock Band 2 and random hits on Pandora Radio, but I like their music.
I really hope this works out in a positive manner.

Lol, I'm also surprised that Rapt0r hasn't made it into this thread yet.

You don't really know them? Let me put it this way; for about every band in the world, Portnoy is an upgrade.

This! I hope his influence seeps into their songwriting as well.

Yeah, he appears to be really good!
I have no doubts about him.

Thread doesn't have enough dead drummers, only live ones.

Also, I've lurked but I really don't have much interest in Avenged Sevenfold.

[hallo_frandz]

Jimmy isn't in my heart, I hope this band fails badly. Silly emo ****

It's okay, some people just can't grasp it yet.
