Dream Theater vokalisti ei usko Mike Portnoyn koskaan palaavan yhtyeeseen

Yhdysvaltalaisen progressiivista metallia soittavan Dream Theaterin vokalisti James LaBrie on antanut hiljattain chileläiselle Radio Futurolle, jossa kertoo yhtyeen olevan hyvin tyytyväinen nykyiseen rumpaliinsa Mike Manginiin. Haastattelussa mies myös kertoo, että ei usko Mike Portnoyn koskaan enää liittyvän takaisin yhtyeeseen. Lue lisää nähdäksesi Jamesin vastaus häneltä asiasta kysyttäessä.

”That possibility, I don’t see it ever happening; it’s not gonna happen. Because, first and foremost, Mike Mangini is a full-fledged member of the band now, he’s a phenomenal drummer and he’s doing everything that we could possibly want as a drummer in a band. He’s helping us realize exactly what we wanna do right now musically. And he will be our drummer until the day that we finish doing this, when we conclude. Mike Portnoy was a big part of our past, but I think that’s where it’s going to remain. He was a drummer from the past. And as far as presently and into the future, it will be Mike Mangini, and we all feel very strongly about that. He’s an incredible drummer, he’s an incredible asset to the band, and he is fulfilling out wildest dreams as far as what we’re doing musically and what we’re doing with each album. So that’s the way it stands.”
