He sounds like a complete bitch in the statement. One step closer to their ultimate demise.

What a downgrade. Going from a respected (albeit cheesy) band like Dream Theater to A7X? Not a good switch.  And Portnoy was really the biggest draw with DT for me, so I have no clue what they'll do without him.
