Basically Mike portnoy quit dream theatre due to stupid side projects with Avenged sevenfold and a couple other bands...What really pisses me off is how he is into doing things with Avenged sevenfold who the singer reminds me of a crying school girl. Oh well i guess all good things come to end eventually.

Well u cant deny it, joey is....Personally tho i dont think u can make an alltime greatest drummer, All drummers play differently and have their own unique style of play, no drummers are the same i guarentee u that, Mike is very good with grooves and time changes where as joey is just straight up the best heavy metal drummer ive seen.

I can deny it, and I'll deny it easily. The greatest drummer of all time? Did you even see the list of drummers he was up against? Or did you just catch the headlines of "Joey Jordison beats Mike Portnoy and Neil Peart"? Jordison is a showman and nothing more, just like every other member of Slipknot. Yeah, he puts on a great show, and yeah, his whole rotating drumset trick is fun to watch (although not at all original). But the greatest drummer ever? Sir, while I respect your opinion, and will fight to the death to protect your right to speak it, I will still come and kick your ass for saying some dumb ass bullshit.
