Twisted Sister have announced that they will embark on a 2016 farewell tour, and have tapped drummer Mike Portnoy for their 2015 touring obligations.

Mike Portnoy and Chad Szeliga joined Adrenaline Mob onstage Saturday night in New Jersey to honor late drummer A.J. Pero.

Mike Portnoy has been a busy guy since he left Dream Theater a few years ago. He's recorded and released albums with Neal Morse, Flying Colors, Adrenaline Mob; he's done tours for all of these bands, as well as touring with Billy Sheehan, Derek Sherinian and Tony MacAlpine; put out DVDs with them; and worked with John Sykes on an album that may never even get finished.

Earlier this year, these four amazing musicians got together and did a show for a drum showoff thing, and they filmed it for a DVD. They've recently gotten back together for a tour in Europe where they're playing some of the most amazing stuff for people.

Former Dream Theater stick-man Mike Portnoy recently gave fans an inside look into his quarter-century career with the band and how, despite his exit, he is more than okay with being referred to as “Mike from Dream Theater.”

Adrenaline Mob have announced a March 13 release date for their new full length album ‘Omertá.’ The new release follows the self-titled EP they dropped in August.

Stone Sour have enlisted the drumming prowess of ex-Dream Theater stickman Mike Portnoy for their upcoming one-off show at the Rock in Rio Festival in Brazil on Sept. 24.

Been wondering what Mike Portnoy has been doing since leaving Dream Theater and Avenged Sevenfold? He's been recording a few albums, one of which is with one of my favorite singers, Russell Allen from Symphony X. They have a new band called Adrenaline Mob, and they covered Sabbath's "The Mob Rules".

Avenged Sevenfold has released the new video for their song "So Far Away" for late drummer The Rev. The clip is described as a "raw and emotional" tribute to late AVENGED drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, who died in December 2009 from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. The track itself, which appears on the band's current "Nightmare" album, is sa

Part three of the Dream Theater documentary traking the selection of their new drummer came out at 9 this morning. As a lot of people were already guessing, Mike Mangini was selected to fill Mike Portnoy's drums shoes. There were a lot of clues, such as the other front runner stating a few months ago that he wasn't the new drummer, Mike Mangini cancelling his teaching gig at Berkley College of Mus

Well, as most of you are aware, Mike Portnoy quit the band he helped found 25 years ago, Dream Theater. He wanted to have the band go on "hiatus" for an indeterminate length of time and then have a "reunion" after the long break. The rest of the band wasn't down with that, for some reason.

Mike Portnoy may no longer be in Dream Theater or Avenged Sevenfold, but his influence musically is still felt by tons of musicians.  What does this mean to you?  Normally not a lot...but now it means a free 3 CD download for us! Independent musicians, graphic artists, and a computer graphics demogroup have collaborated on a grand scale multimedia tribute to Mike Portnoy, in celebration of over a
