» From "Mike Portnoy To Fill In For Roy Mayorga" // September 19, 2011 1:36:16 AM UTC

What an amazing suprise! Most everyone will agree that Mike will do Roy the justice He deserves. Honestly though, I know it's been said a lot already, but I'm very happy to know that Mikes' filling in because of something beautiful (the birth of a child), and not because of Roys' health. To Roy: don't even think for a second that your being replaced. And finally, as far as the DVD is concerned, it bothers me that people would rather have Mike Portnoy sitting on the drum throne for the DVD. Roy has spent his career building up such an amazing talent that he should, without a doubt, have the honor of being the drummer in the DVD. IF ANYTHING, Mikes' fill in performance should be bonus....."IF ANYTHING". Trust me people will have videos of Portnoy playing with Stone Sour, but Roy deserves the DVD "HANDS DOWN!"
