What more can be said? The guitarist from Chimaira, mixed with the drummer from Bleed the Sky, wrapped with the bassist of Ohio Sky, and topped with the singer from STEMM.
Still not convinced? Have a look!

Welcome to DRAMA THEATER - Sheesh!
John Lennon said it best is the song "God" when he stated, "The dream is over." he may not have been referring to the band of Dream Theater, but I think the phrase fits them now, considering that their former drummer Mike Portnoy has moved on to drum for that piece of shit OC group Avenged Sevenfold and DT is possibly crumbling before our eyes.
It's now become a battle of she said-she said whining and botching from DT singer James LaBrie and Portnoy. Word has it that "Bluebeard" felt hurt and disrespected because LaBrie wasn't crying when Portnoy decided to take a hike from the group and grab the brass ring with A7X. Honestly, who gives a shit about these two, or their bands? If I had my way, I'd throw them all in the East River without a life-preserver! I can't stand their music or senseless complaining, except that it gives me fodder to post and blog about.
During an appearance on the September 28, 2010 edition of the "Used Bin Radio" show, LaBrie was asked if he was "sad" over Portnoy's decision to leave Dream Theater:
"You know what?! I'm not sad at all. I've gotta be honest with you. I think that everyone out there needs to know that there's four guys in the band that are... We're excited, we're really looking forward to the next chapter. And I think one of the other things that everyone really has to remember is that there's four more-than-capable guys there. We're all extremely... I know everyone is out there going, 'Holy shit! Is this guy full of himself or what?' But I wanna say it like it is. There's four very capable people in the band, and we're all talented and we all know what we're doing, and we're all capable of doing everything and keeping Dream Theater exactly what it's been and bringing it to another level and bringing it to uncharted waters, but I think very exciting and fulfilling waters. So, no, we're not down. I can guarantee you none of us are down. We're actially pretty excited... and very positive."
Earlier today, a registered user of Portnoy's official forum asked the site's moderators if threads about LaBrie's upcoming solo tour were being deleted from the MikePortnoy.com site. Portnoy himself then chose to respond, writing, "I'm afraid your eyes are not playing tricks on you."
He continued, "I was willing to ignore that the [DREAM THEATER] guys insisted all [Mike Portnoy]-related stuff be removed from DreamTheater.net [DREAM THEATER's official web site].... but then on Monday reading the Blabbermouth headlines with James [LaBrie] insensitively proclaming they are 'not sad at all' about my departure from DREAM THEATER, I cannot in 'happy' standing promote his solo tour....
"I am so sad it comes to this, but I am even more shocked and hurt by James' completely disrespectful quote."
Says LaBrie:
"It seems there is a misunderstanding. When I said I was not sad with Mike's departure, it, unfortunately, leaves plenty of room to misconstrue such words. No one can tell you or me how to think and feel. Initially with Mike's departure I was extremely upset, down and shocked. But one needs to deal and work through these emotions in order to arrive at a more positive and optimistic place. That is where I am now and was when the interview took place. Let me put it more plain and simple. Life does not afford us the luxury to wallow in our sorrow. You have to deal with the situation at hand and make it a productive and positive endeavor. In other words, onward and upward. Mike made it perfectly clear why he chose the current path. I would much rather his words be the definitive answer. In the end, does it really matter what our views are? Other than human curiosity, it doesn't change a thing. I have said my piece and believe there is no room for misinterpretation. I will give no further weight to this subject; all has been said."
PUSSIES!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!! Just sayin'.....
