I just read this and audibly guffawed: “Mike Portnoy Bashes For Dimmu Borgir”.
Something tells me Mike’s born-again, 12-step preaching will not go over too well with the boys in Dimmu…

I wish I could be more excited by this, but I have reservations. I suppose it’s no more bizarre than Marco Minnemann playing with Necrophagist (2), but it seems like a cosmic dissonance to me. I have no doubt in Mike’s ability to do this gig, though I hope he’s prepared for the YouTube baboons to begin the cackling battle cries. Oh, I can foresee it so clearly: “dude portnoy sux he can on;y ply blast beet @ 210bpm”. Et cetera…
Man, I think portnoy is an amazing drummer (even though I hate dream theater)… But man it just doesn’t match… First I can’t imagine Portnoy dressed in leather and with his face painted haha… And second, he plays progressive metal, dimmu is black metal… Don’t you think is kind of… I don’t know… Weird maybe?
