“Portnoy makes it look easy”. That’s not the point. The point is that Mike was one of Jimmy’s biggest influences for the drums and Mike was absolutely honored to record Nightmare and tour with the band to fill in until they found a permanent replacement.
Necrostoner. THIS^. Another point is that Portnoy was a fan of A7X, and the Rev’s drumming style was right up his alley to learn their songs, finish the nightmare recording, do a tour, actually be worth his time, and enjoy it! Portnoy is one a just a few drummers that can learn their shit on the fly with ease and make A7X’s situation happen for them.
And too be fair portnoy said himself he found it really hard to record the nightmare album because they wanted their songs to be similar to what he used to play, and even said himself that he loves his style of play because he's all over the kit that's why rev was one of a kind (not literal words, figuratively speaking)
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
This era for them was so emotional and powerful. I feel they peaked as live shows go. They are still wonderful but as someone whose seen😂 them a ton over the years the first leg of nightmare tour was unreal
??? If you mean them playing their new album, The stage has some of the hardest songs they've ever had. Comparable to even Waken The Fallen. Obviously sound, lyrics and composition are completely different but that album had songs with insane energy
Big time, their live shows, energy etc has really gone down in the last few years - a shadow of the live band they used to be. I remember seeing them for the first time on the ‘City Of Evil’ tour in Dublin (‘05?) and they just fuckin killed it. And did every time they came back until a few years ago. They have become very static and almost boring - not the same band at all
@Graham That is not true at all lol. They made an agreement with Portnoy to do the drums for the album and then the subsequent tour, but it was never gonna be more than that. A7X would be dumb to fire Portnoy and then get Arrin lmao
@@adoniassgod you know nothing about drumming or portnoy or the rev then... The rev idolised him and had a while where he learned allot from mike just because he tried to mimic him and that influence was still in his own sound.. he said that himself Edit: i just realised this comment is fucking old
It breaks my heart not to hear The Rev's part sung...but I can't help but to smile to see that Shads/Syn/Zacky won't sing it. Way to remember a fallen brother! -3 foREVer
What? If you're talking about Dream Theater, he left on his own. Avenged Sevenfold had nothing to do with it. He was always in multiple bands, like Neal Morse, Transatlantic, Flying Colors, etc, but chose to leave Dream Theater because he felt burnt out by it
Portnoy is overrated. He uses a lot of fills that sound difficult but are actually fairly easy to play. For example: RLKKRLRLKK and move it around the kit in different variations. People think he's a god for this.

Fuck. I cried when they put the revs vocals for his part. 😢😩😩
Seeing the light beams through the smoke reflecting off zacky's guitar in the intro is sick
Tim Wenger that was the Rev shining down on them

True. I don’t get why literally every Portnoy vid with Avenged has these comments, like we /know/ bcs he’s one of Jimmy’s influences.

I miss this kind of energy in A7X's live shows
Personally I like their new album. They said it won't be for everyone, but I love it.
😫

Naah

I saw these dudes live back in the day. Halloween night. One of the best shows I ever seen
As a drummer, Portnoy makes it look too easy.
Ben Goldberg Music absolute beast on those drums, rev loved him
almost
I think they should have kept him! Not dissing their other drummers. Just saying.
As a drummer , porynoy makes it look too easy
ALMOST EASY
It breaks my heart not to hear The Rev's part sung...but I can't help but to smile to see that Shads/Syn/Zacky won't sing it. Way to remember a fallen brother! -3
foREVer
Mike Mike Mike... you are awesome!
Best drummer ever..
They kept the Rev :,)
A7X is owened by owen :'( owen is the owener
@@paijoex_x what the fuck?

PAUL GRAY IS ALIVE!

Não vc canso de ver esse vídeo uma banda foda com o Tio Portnoy na batera e sensacional!!!
Really cool. 🤘🖤
Hope Mike had fun, this gig probably cost him his dream team membership.

Awesome
Portnoy, add some fills note, but don't break the originals
that's the rule to makes live version more better
mike is great man
Portnoy Mike😮😊🎉
The rev
Quien iba ha pensar que una de las grandes influencias de jimmy como fue mikey portnoy terminaría tocando sus canciones.

Hello there
Portnoy my favorit.. Good job
Portnoy tidak tergerus dengan jaman
Portnoy is so incredible , Miss the rev 😢😢😢
Synyster Root
1:33 probally syn is crying 😢
I love avanged sevenfold but in the solo who of the two is playing the rhitm guitar?#fuckbackingtracks
Sometimes zacky play some rythems sometimes not
Portnoy best :)!
Syn is hammered lmao
I miss that Matt energy
syn is using a mask, probably he's trying to hide his tears at rev's parts
#foREVer
or maybe was Halloween
Portnoy is a fool for leaving DT. He wanted them to take time off so he could do other things. I don't think he expected them to carry on without him.
Mike portnoy is thebest drummer...
first...AHHHUHHHH!!! foREVer
The moment when your favourite drummer plays your songs better than you
Portnoy is like a drummer
He is like a drummer how hue city was like a war in Vietnam haha

No.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what?
Om portnoy Drumer tergila diavenged
They should have kept Portnoy. Not knocking brooks but I thing mike is a better fit
He is expensive i think thats why he was ditched.
Nyesel keluar dari DT ya ....!!!.
Mike Portnoy emg jagonya kalau improve drum
I hate how everyone is so sensitive anymore. Stupid how they have to cut out the best part of the song

Server indo ngumpul ajg
tbh, i hate hearing portnoy's drum in a7x. He's not for them. Arin did better.
Portnoy should have stay with them
Portnoy was to much for this band
No, he was the perfect fit.
Naaaaa, Portnoy = Great drummer / AX7 = Shity band
if you think they're a shitty band then you shouldn't really be here, i mean I don't watch live videos of a band i call shit
Francisco Maidana yep AX7, not A7X
Portnoy is overrated. He uses a lot of fills that sound difficult but are actually fairly easy to play. For example: RLKKRLRLKK and move it around the kit in different variations. People think he's a god for this.
Portnoy..looks like the grandfather of those young guys....Bad decition Portnoy!
Morita Bollita you're insulting Portnoy by saying he's old too. Congrats!
Morita Bollita
Not really he was only 45 here and he looks like 30
Arin?
Mike is better choice for them now...
