Portnoy back in Dream Theater.

Maybe they do something more metal again.

I'm surprised he rejoined.  There was so much animosity there.
I only followed it tangentially but the interview rags played up the drama up for years.

Distance Over Time was pretty metal. It’s probably the only Mangini album I like, since it’s true they’ve been far less metal since Portnoy left.

YESSSSSSSSSS!! 

I knew it was just A Matter Of Time!

Now Friedman will rejoin Megadeth.

And Kerrick will reform Slayer.

Isn’t one of Slayer’s members named Kerry? Ever wondered what that was short for? Hmm…

If Friedman was going to rejoin he could've done it recently. He seems satisfied where he's at unfortunately.

I'd be surprised if it was!  My last name is King - as is Kerry's - hence all the Slayer jokes around here.  (Also because in general I really don't care for thrash.)

That said, I'm gonna give a call to the rest of the Slayer dudes and see if we can get the band back together.  I've been writing some thrash riffs that really slap.

$10 the next Slayer album is called Reign in DOOOOOOOM.

Put yourself in timeout.

Hehe.

Hand over that $10!  It's entitled South Of Heaviness and is actually just South Of Heaven in its entirety played at 0.777 speed.

DOOOOOOOM Awaits

^Yup that one's next to dooomify.

Did not see this coming.  When I first saw it, I thought it was for just a few shows or some kinda troll.

The Prog Report released a top 30 list for the 2000's and Mike Portnoy was the drummer on 6 of the albums with only two coming from DT.

Yup, did not see this coming either. I thought the band would retire soon and the members would head to their different side projects. Seeing the videos of this summer's tour with everything so much smaller than before it seemed to me like DT was past its' prime.
