Wow... I would never imagine this was going to happen...

I mean, Mr. Portnoy? Wow! Awesome! And while I think he won't replace The Rev, he'll change a little bit A7X sound for good. It'll be nice to hear him playing with A7X.

I was put off of A7X after their lastest album which I thought was an utter flop in every way, but with Mike Portnoy on drums? Goodness, I'll have to check that out. I hope to see them really utilize his talents. I'm hoping they go abit more aggressive with the next one.

Ooooohh... Sounds good, but I don't know how that's gonna mix. Maybe because I really only listen to him on DT, but this might be him branching out.

I honestly hope Portnoy adjusts to Avenged Sevenfold's style, not the other way around. Prog-Metal level wankery has no place in music like that.

That's amazing.

I'm really happy they're still playing, even without Rev.

This is a rather intersting crossover. However, I'm not sure if The Rev is replaceable. I hope this album turns out well. I like DT, but it seems like A7X changed their style on their previous album, and I prefer their old style from City of Evil and before.

well M. Shadows, in an interview, said this album would be darker and more progressive, so i guess having mike portnoy as their drummer would at least confirm the second point. haha
