Soon revealed: Mike went back to his job at McDonald's.

So far nothing since SP. I truly hope he has some future success as he is actually a brilliant drummer.

But as irresistible as it would have been for any 19 year old, following in the footsteps of Jimmy Chamberlin - possibly one of the best living drummer in the world - was never going to end well for him.

But he had a blast. What person can say what they went through like that with a top band. I hope he’s happy and it hasn’t affected him mentally in any way.

When I say he is a brilliant drummer I am talking relatively. He is a very good drummer. But compared to Jimmy Chamberlin he is nothing close. He must have known that risk if he has any sense. Agreeing to replace him was either a) very brave or b) naive.

But who would turn down that opportunity at 19.

The answer is nobody.

We can’t blame him for anything musically related to the band and anyone who does is a f*cktard.

Jimmy might be the best drummer I’ve ever heard tbqh. Either him or Mike Portnoy. I’ve never watched any footage of Mike playing live so idk how good he is.
