Mike Portnoy over Kevin Moore:
Sorry, I couldn't resist the prank!
But I'm locking this thread so it wont mislead people into thinking it really happened...
For the record, IMHO (and the rest of DT as well - coincidentally, we happened to be talking about it today as we were in Istanbul) - both Kevin Moore and Space Dye Vest are both very overrrated and get waaaay more acclaim, attention and credit than they deserve....
We've been friendly, polite, open-minded and nostalgic by inviting him 3 times to perform with us (as well as contribute to the Score documentary and the upcoming DT biography) and we've been turned down time and time again.
We can only be rejected so many times before becoming insulted...
If he insists on turning his back on his past, then I guess so will we....
It's been almost 15 years already since he quit...it's time to get over it!
In any case, the invite no longer stands....Kevin No Moore...
We're way happier now anyways...(and I assume he is as well as he wants nothing to do with us), so there's your happy ending!! We ALL win in the end!!!
