MIKE PORTNOY has banged the skins for DREAM THEATER, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, THE WINERY DOGS, BIG ELF, LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT, ADRENALINE MOB, STONE SOUR and many more bands.
ITP V.014 EDITORS NOTE: My sentiments exactly (regarding PORTNOY's comments), although ROGER WATERS exit from the band is OLD news, we still welcome PINK FLOYD back, as most sane people will take PINK FLOYD far more seriously compared to AVENGED SEVENFOLD.
FROM MIKE PORTNOY (VIA TWITTER):
What's this about a new "Pink Floyd" album? Last I checked, Waters is no longer in the band and Wright & Barrett are dead...solo album Dave!

...if these are leftovers from TDB, then put em on a Special Edition! It's disrespectful to Roger & everything he built for all those years!

Lots of bickering over my Floyd comments. OK, I'ill meet the Gilmour fans half-way and say "real" Pink Floyd is BOTH Gilmour/Waters TOGETHER

My final word on it: Piper was a Syd album, The Final Cut was a Waters album, AMLOR/TDB are Gilmour albums...the "magic" was Waters/Gilmour
