Meh. Portnoy was honestly my only tie to metal, and no one's gonna play Panic Attack like him.

ya mike portnoy quit dream theater shortly before he started the tour. he wanted to do a little dream theater hiatus, take a little break from there 25 year record and tour binge. but unfortunatly the band didnt want to stop that and they wanted to keep on rolling. so he quit.

and now with there new drummer, who by the way they chose in october/november'ish, theyll finish recording their new stuff and go on a full world tour
