2012-02-09 01:29:00 RMS: Thanks. I also heard that you are working on a new project with Mike Portnoy and Richie Kotzen. Can you give us an update on that one?BS: Well, there really is no news at this point. Mike is a dear friend of mine, and we?ve worked together a lot at, and same with Richie, he?s a dear friend of mine and with everyone in Mr. Big. And we?ll just have to wait and see what happens. There?s some demos floating around and we have talked, but nothing has been set in stone yet. I love to play, and this year we are not doing much with Mr. Big. We just spent a whole year together, so this year we are just going to go off and do our own thing. I just spoke with Paul and Pat recently, and they?re doing well. I heard that Eric is out doing some shows, and he?s doing great. So, I?m glad that everyone?s doing well. I?m sure that we will get together again and play. But, in the meantime, I?m going to do a new Niacin record. But, any opportunity to go out and play with Mike Portnoy...

Mike Portnoy: stands in for Bobby Jarzombek on upcoming Fates Warning shows
2012-02-03 23:56:00 FATES WARNING: "We're pleased and excited to announce that Mike Portnoy will be our special guest drummer for our April 14th show in São Paulo, Brazil. We had a great time playing with Mike back in 2005 at the Headway festival in Holland and we're happy that he's able to help us out again. We'd also like to make it clear that Bobby Jarzombek is still the drummer for FATES and will be with us for our European shows in March as well as on the new record we're currently working on. Unfortunately, Bobby committed to another gig on the same day (ironically, in the same city) before this show was planned." more

Richie Kotzen,Billy Sheehan,Mike Portnoy: Power Trio Rising from the Ashes
2012-01-26 00:33:00 Mike Portnoy and Billy Sheehan have tapped Richie Kotzen to be the guitarist/vocalist of their new project following the recent departure of John Sykes. Although Portnoy and Sykes demoed a dozen or so songs at a Los Angeles studio last year, their vastly different work ethics and conflicting schedules were solely to blame for the dissolution of their collaboration. Portnoy explained on Twitter, "Sad but true... I tried my best to make it work... Me and [Billy Sheehan] couldn't wait around any longer... [Billy] and I are moving on and have already begun work with another guitarist/vocalist, keeping the original 'power trio' concept." more
John Sykes, Mike Portnoy: Out Of Love again....
2012-01-24 23:44:00 Portnoy and Sykes announced their collaboration during a July 2011 taping of season eight of VH1 Classic's "That Metal Show". The program's co-host Eddie Trunk tweeted about the project at the time, "I heard demos. Sounds like killer BLUE MURDER meets '1987' WHITESNAKE. Amazing!" He also said that the new group would perform some BLUE MURDER material when it hits the road. The project last year demoed more than a dozen songs at a Los Angeles studio, with Portnoy describing one track as "copping the [LED] ZEPPELIN/[BLACK] SABBATH vibe" and another as "[PINK] FLOYD meets [DEEP] PURPLE!!! Some serious old-school classic rock." In a new posting on his official web site, Trunk writes, "There has been much speculation on the status of the band and this project since we first revealed it, and as a friend and fan of both musicians I was very much at the center of it helping where I could and serving as a sounding board with all involved. Sadly, I can confirm that as of now this projec...

Mike Orlando, Mike Portnoy: Adrenaline Mob slim down
2012-01-08 12:49:00 Guitarist Rich Ward and bassist Paul DiLeo leave the band due to other commitments. "The core of this band has always been the three of us. The album was written and recorded that way. We later added Rich and Paul as part of the original touring lineup and we had a blast touring with them. However, they both had other projects and priorities and could not give a full-time commitment to ADRENALINE MOB. We're all still friends and we wish them all the best in their other bands, but for now, our focus is entirely on ADRENALINE MOB, the release of 'Omertà' on 3/13/12, and hitting the road hard and playing for you all soon!"
