9. Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace

I thought 2007 was really a particularly great year for music, so my year-end list would be incomplete without acknowledging a few other excellent honorable mentions as well:
11. Symphony X - Paradise Lost
12. Pain Of Salvation - Scarsick
13. Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement
14. 3 - The End Is Begun
15. Down - Over The Under
16. Baroness - The Red Album
17. Overkill - Immortalis
18. Megadeth - United Abominations
19. Rush - Snakes And Arrows
20. Thought Chamber - Angular Perceptions
And finally, two amazing late discoveries from 2006:---
Unexpect - In A Flesh Aquarium---
And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - So Divided
And of course:---
- Systematic Chaos---
Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MP's Fav Films of 2007
(in no particular order)
1. No Country For Old Men
2. Taxidermia
3. The Lives Of Others
4. Across The Universe
5. Eastern Promises
6. Grindhouse
7. Cassandra's Dream
8.
9.
10.
These last spots are reserved for the many end of year films of 2007 that I am still waiting to catch......(most notable on my must-see lists: There Will Be Blood and I'm Not There)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought in general 2007 was a pretty lousy year for films and that some of the best writing, direction and performances took place on the small screen.
So I felt the need to now include this list to my year-end wrapup:
MP's Fav TV of 2007
(in no particular order)
1. Lost
2 The Sopranos
3. Brotherhood
4. Rescue Me
5. Tell Me You Love Me
6. Dexter
7. The Shield
8. Heroes
9. The Office
10. Curb Your Enthusiasm
11. Extras
12. The Flight Of The Conchords |

Message de Mike sur un forum où il n'est apparemment guère apprécié...
Citation: |
Hello fellow drum fans (?),
I've just come across this message board and I must say I am shocked.
I cannot believe how disliked (borderline hated!) I am amongst most of you.
As much as I'd love to say it doesn't bother me, I have to honestly say it does hurt to read. I am human and my skin is not as thick as you may think.
Contrary to what most of you think, I do not think I'm god's gift to the drum world. In fact, I am actually quite intimidated about my drumming and I'll be the first to tell anybody how overrated I am and that guys like Gadd, Vinnie, Weckl, Chambers, Jo Jo, Donati, Minnemann, Lang, Bozzio, Mangini, etc etc etc can play circles around me.
I don't know why my popularity and acclaim pisses so many of you off. Its not my "fault" I was voted into the MD Hall of Fame and won the Progressive catagory 12 years in a row....(frankly, I was relieved when Gavin Harrison finally won it last year!)
Those polls are not ME claiming to be better or more deserving than anybody else.
I guess my playing and style has somehow struck a chord with a lot of young drummers out there and for that I am hugely grateful and humbled. However, drumming is not a contest.....there are no "best" drummers, just merely "favorites".
I am just another person who loves music and drumming and am thankful that I can do this for a living. If I inspire young drummers to pick up sticks and get into it, then what's so bad about that? Hopefully if they are really inspired by me, they will learn and discover about the hundreds of other drummers, bands and artists I regularly site as huge inspirations on me.
Which leads me to some of the bashing of my tribute bands I've read on this Forum. I am not trying to "prove" anything with these. I am merely "paying tribute" to some of my heroes. To tear me apart for not keeping perfect time with my Beatles tribute at the MD Fest is TOTALLY missing the whole point. Some of the most famous music of all time was made without the perfect groove, the perfect technique, etc.
Believe it or not, my love for drumming and music in general is NOT defined by having the biggest drumset around or being able to play in 19/16 time. THAT is the whole point of my tribue bands (and a lot of the side project work I do outside of - like Neal Morse's solo albums for instance.)
Finally - to the person that tore me apart for my "onstage antics" witnessed at a G3 show in this oh so flattering thread (ever so delicately calling me a "goofball" and "douchebag"):
http://www.houseofdrumming.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2631
.....I'm sorry that I like to have fun on stage (even if I was "only a D" on that G tour!)....
I do realize, most everybody in the audience is there to watch the G's play their instruments, but the unfortunate REALITY is that on every G3 tour that I've done, there is a VERY large amount of DT fans that come out to see BOTH me and John. So pardon me for not quietly sitting in the background doing my best Charlie Watts impersonation. In fact, if I were to have done that, I bet there'd be more complaints by people who have come to expect me to "perform" and interact on stage as I usually do.
I'm sorry if my live performance was a distraction to you, but I indeed enjoy ENJOYING playing live and interacting with my band members and the audience while on stage.
One of my biggest drum heroes of all time was Keith Moon who was the type of drummer I could not take my eyes off of when watching perform live. (wow, I can only imagine how some of you must HATE him for his lack of technique and finesse!).
Yet, he inspired thousands (maybe millions?) of drummers to pick up a pair of sticks, get behind the kit and make MUSIC!
And sometimes, that can go a very long way!
Yours humbly,
the incredibly overrated
Mike Portnoy |

Ca fait du bien de lire des propos si modestes de sa part.
C'est un bon gars le Mike quand même

Mike vient de perdre son père, Howard Portnoy :/
Citation: |
It's with the heaviest heart and deepest sorrow that I share the news of the passing of my best friend, my idol and my father, Howard Portnoy.
He passed away this morning at 3:38 am with his loving wife Trish and myself by his side after a 6 month battle with cancer.
He was an amazing person whose lively spirit was a tremendous inspiration to me and to most people that had the pleasure to know him.
He will be sorely missed by so many friends and family - but none more so than his wife Trish, his daughter in law Marlene, his grandchildren Melody and Max and yours truly.
The Spirit Carries On 'Ol Popz......
Carpe Diem,
MP |
