If this was posted already, just kick the shit out of this topic.

All is cleared now! That's why JLB really looks like Russel Allen with his new haircut. To make jealous MP.

[hefdaddy42]

Well, there you go.

[BlobVanDam]

So I guess this explains why MP was the one to give JLB the suggestion to shape up on the SDOIT tour?

[Orbert]

I love seeing the whites of an audience's eyes instead of being stuck in the back and seeing John Wetton's ass. Life for me is a series of asses that I played behind. Adrian Belew has got a very nice ass, slim. John Wetton's is a little bigger. Jon Anderson's is very small. Nice legs, lousy ass. It's a series of asses.

Likely, I suppose 

Also, JLB vs. M. Shadows is probably a mismatch ass wise. So Avenged Sevenfold was that much more appealing.

Life...is a series of asses

First time Portnoy has said anything about the split that actually put a smile on my face.

Kind of refreshing in a way isn't it?

[Mechanix1911]

That makes no sense.

[The Letter M]

Maybe this is why JLB wears the trench-coat now??

(Doesn't want to run another drummer out...)

It is actually.  Makes me remember why he was likeable for me and so many fans in the first place before it was all pissed away in passive-aggressive tweets. 

[Millais]

ha, didn't see this

This is how he should have handled these types of questions in the past - through humor.  Mike's a funny and charming guy (when he's in the right place), and had he been answering these types of questions this way all along, I would hazard to say his image would be better right now. 

On the flip side, maybe he's able to say something like this because he's finally kind of let go and moved on.  Hopefully so...

[angelillo]

 
it is actually very funny...

Just imagine Blabbermouth turning it into "news"

[darkshade]

Yes this is a nice change of pace from him. I also like that he poked fun at JLB in a funny way, and not make snide remarks especially since there may be beef between them.

Is it bad that I clicked on "this" 3 times wondering why the link wasn't working?

[KevShmev]

Just imagine Blabbermouth turning it into "news"

The headline would probably be: Portnoy gay?

[Orbert]

Definitely.

Nugget!

[VioletS16]

OMG can someone please tell me what it is?? I'm dying to know and the page is not loading on my computer!!!!

[VioletS16]

 
I just went on my mom's computer to look...OMG....

[GasparXR]

Oh my god hahah! This is hilarious!

[FallTempest]

MP making light of the situation is a breath of fresh air.

Totally agree, on both parts.  Being able to joke about it shows that he's moved on, and so should we.



Also, I did try clicking on "this", then waved my mouse over it and saw that it's not a link.

[Jaq]

Why am I expecting a poll somewhere on this forum called "WHO HAS THE NICER ASS" with the choices being Russell Allen, JLB, and Kevin Moore now?

[King Postwhore]

Mike better not play in a band with Leslie West. 

[GasparXR]

Mike better not play in a band with himself. 

What? o.o

Perfectly goes with your avatar.

Oops.  I was underlining it for emphasis - not thinking how it would look.  Sorry for anyone who took the time to try to figure it out.  Not a broken link; just an illusion.

+1 on all accounts.  Any bets as to when he will ruin our praises in this thread?  I'm guessing 3 weeks...tops.

[aparadoxindeed]

it is actually very funny...

Knowing Blabbermouth, this is a very real possibility!    The posters over there would have a field day with MP's comment
