EIMRAIZZU Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Man I expected more of this, I used to think that he's the best drummer in the world, til I've seen the rest and they are all great. I guess it is a bad day for him...I experienced that myself. It sucks.
kolraz Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Mike has always said he doesn't like drum solos that much. He's best judged by his work in a band.
sixpackracing Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - how the hell do you learn to play like Portnoy?
EIMRAIZZU Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Yup I guess that's true, we all have diff. advantages...I guess i'm like that too

Jul 7, 2008 - did any1 else notice that neil peart does that cowbell solo?
sasquatchops Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Yes, Portnoy was largely influenced by Neil Peart.
phrankenstrat Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Great drummer and fast but he doesn't know what to do with it. You want to see talent, watch Neil Peart. Not taking anything away from Mike, but Peart owns him.
MoogSound Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Neil Peart is so damn overrated....everytime someone has to say neil peart is better it reminds me of of those stupid emo kids comparing travis barker's skills to buddy rich
dpsantos1994 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Neil is a good drummer, AN EXCELLENT DRUMMER!!! and mike was influenced by him that's it for me they're at the same level but Mike is an idol for me so i prefer him... (but not saying that neil puts him in the ground lol :P)
zeek2550 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Isn't that cowbell part also in Neil Pearts solo? Regardless he is an amazing drummer I would personally say that Neil is a better drummer though.

darkshadowvamp Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Sounds like a bunch of chaotic noise to me.. this guy is a mess.
Szaam Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - You're clearly a guitarist.Mike Portnoy is fucking amazing, his technical ability is ridiculously good. It'd have to be able to drum for Dream Theater.And seeing as he's the second youngest drummer to be inducted into the Modern Drummer's Hall of Fame, he can't be too bad.
motorjimizeppelin Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - i never really cared for his drum solos. much better during songs.hes even addmited this himself.
DreamStuffed Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - darkshadowvamp, chaotic noise? wtfi dont get tired of watching this video man, its GOo0o0oOD man
eatrush Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - if he had made the crossing of hands he had given him a suck, but I was fortunate, he could never make it.

Jul 7, 2008 - phrankenstrat: "Great drummer and fast but he doesn't know what to do with it. You want to see talent, watch Neil Peart. Not taking anything away from Mike, but Peart owns him."I think you may be judging him based on just this one video... =/
