I like to think there’s been some decent content on this blog this year. These are the posts that had the most views:
No Ravens article this week
Too busy and having too much fun.
Was at the NHRA drag races on Sunday instead of watching the Ravens.
Normal blogging should resume in a couple of days
Top Posts in September
Putting up some decent content, I think; both here and at Bleacher Report.
Top posts on the blog last month:
24 years ago today
Cliff Burton, arguably the best bass player ever, was killed in a bus accident 24 years ago today at the age of 24.
Metal(lica) was never the same.
I’ll listen to Orion from Master of Puppets at least once today.
Hopefully Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield won’t sue me for linking to these vids.
Tommy The Cat Had Many a Story to Tell
I haven’t listened to Primus for a long time. Still pretty cool.
Mike Portnoy Leaves Dream Theater
Unfortunately, it’s true. He’s apparently leaving the band because the band isn’t willing to let him take a break and do some other things.
“We have been on an endless write/record/tour cycle for almost 20 years now (of which I have overseen EVERY aspect without a break) and while a few months apart from each other here and there over the years has been much needed and helpful, I honestly hoped the band could simply agree with me to taking a bit of a ‘hiatus’ to recharge our batteries and ‘save me from ourselves’…
“Sadly, in discussing this with the guys, they determined they do not share my feelings and have decided to continue without me rather than take a breather… I even offered to do some occasional work throughout 2011 against my initial wishes, but it was not to be…
“While it truly hurts for me to even think of a DREAM THEATER without Mike Portnoy (hell, my father named the band!!), I do not want to stand in their way…so I have decided to sacrifice myself and simply leave the band so as to not hold them back against their wishes.
Plain and simple, Dream Theater isn’t Dream Theater without Mike Portnoy.
