My only comment is how funny it is to see so many upset comments on his Facebook regarding that video. Sure a lot of MP's fans are probably a little bit more uh... domesticated... than they probably were in the early 90s... but I would still love to travel back in time to 1992 and tell them that one day they'll stop liking Mike Portnoy because he flipped off a video of... Donald Trump... .
Hey, as long as he didn't kneel for our flag!
I thought it was fine. Not my favorite song and I thought his vocals really took down a peg, but he's just having fun. As far as I know he's not releasing this for purchase or making an album for 10 bucks of this stuff. It's just going for free on youtube. Let the man have his fun, I wish I could do that kind of stuff.
I would actually buy it, even though I don't dig a lot of it. I try to be a completist when it comes to my favorite bands. I own all of LaBrie's stuff including Winter Rose, Ayreon, etc. I own all of Myung's stuff. I own all of Charlie's, Kevin's, Derek's, and Petrucci's stuff. Hell, I even own stuff from Chris Cintron, the guy that was almost the frontman of DT before James. With Jordan and Mike, they release way too much, the majority of which I can't get into. I would probably buy a Mike solo album, even if it is just a bunch of covers, mainly for the novelty but hey, maybe he'll do a song I really dig.
