EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH MIKE PORTNOY!

Twenty years since the release of their debut album, When Dream And Day Unite, American prog metallers Dream Theater have survived through the good times and the bad. With the release of their tenth studio album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings set for late June, drummer Mike Portnoy is coming towards the end of a whirlwind press tour which has taken in Germany, Holland, Italy and France. Blistering.com caught up with “The Port” by phone in London just as he’s “sitting in my hotel room where I can rest for a couple of minutes” after a long day of radio and face to face interviews. It’s a big change from a few years ago when Dream Theater were signed to Atlantic and pretty much had to get by on their existing fans.

And while you're at it DT...Please come to New Zealand too. It was agonizing that you only made it as far as Aussie on the Chaos in Motion tour. All the best for the new album.

AMEN to that!!! ...Don't think I'll be 'allowed' to falk at the extra $700+ on airfares this time round, which is what it cost me to get to Brisbane last time.... Was hell worth it though!!!!! - I'd been waiting 16 years to see you guys live ...New tune (Rite of passage) rocks BTW, hangin out for the album...AND AND... does havin an 'audiophile' LP mean we might see an SACD version???

Hello Dream Theater please come to Mexico in this country always you will be well received. The virus of influenza is a political strategy due to the situation through which the country did not pass absolutely anything. Greetings from Luis Fernando Jiménez Jiménez one of your mexican and crazy fans.
