A7X ENTERS STUDIO WITH MIKE PORTNOY Wed, 02/17/2010 - 23:57 General news I want our fans to know that with Jimmy in our hearts, our journey to record has officially began. Jimmy helped leave this world an amazing gift and now it's our job to make sure to deliver that gift to our fans. We asked Jimmy's all time favorite drummer Mike Portnoy to record on behalf of him. Mike said it would be an honor and without question that’s what Jim would have wanted. Its comforting to us that someone like Mike, who is undoubtedly revered as one of the best drummers in the world, held such respect and adoration for the Rev's abilities. Even though it will never be the same without our brother by our side, his essence lives in our hearts and through the music he helped create. He was a legend before any of the success or any of that bullshit and we are fucking excited to lay this down for our fans, and especially for Jimmy. -Avenged Sevenfold http://www.avengedsevenfold.com/news/a7x-enters-studio-mike-portnoy 以一個DT迷來說這實在是太high了 囧!!!!!
雖然我也很期待看到這樣的畫面 但是我覺得會有難度 畢竟DT跟A7X都算大團 檔期也沒那麼好敲 MP雖然SideProject多, 不過大半都是他主導所以比較沒檔期問題 不過 如果真能連live都合作, 那大概也有八成以上的機率會出DVD"吧"!! (at least I hope so = =)
我曾經有幸看過A7X的live, 那真的是看過最棒的live之一 心情激動的都快跪下來哭了 而且當晚演奏的歌曲都是我最愛的! 本來Jimmy過世後, 我覺得沒有辦法看到原本五人一起的演出很可惜 不過如果Mike可以代打的話, 我想是很值得一看 雖然我是吉他手不懂鼓, 但是就連我這外行都聽的出A7X的編鼓很多變化又很合歌曲, 感覺其他同期又同類型樂團的鼓手比較不合我的痛調 anyway, 很期待他們新專輯!
