After getting kicked out of leaving Avenged Sevenfold, apparently Mike Portnoy tried to join his old band back. Can you guess what happened?
“I reached out to the guys to try and make amends and offered to reconcile for the sake of having peace back in our lives… (plus I know how much it meant to a lot of the fans…) I figured it was still possible to try and save us, because they hadn’t made any announcements yet or begun any public activity with another drummer… but sadly, they declined my offer (well, actually their lawyer did… they didn’t even tell me themselves…)“ said Mike while crying.

Again with the ‘fans’ excuse. Oh well, I wouldn’t worry if I was you, Mike, reunions are IN right now and after a few years of touring without you, a label fatcat will just go to the band and say “Listen, we need a reunion tour and a reunion album ASAP. Get Portnoy on the phone!”
In the meantime, isn’t it a bit unfair how a drummer like Portnoy gets tossed around between bands but Lars Ulrich is still in one of the biggest metal bands of all time? That’s like Megan Fox being rejected by ugly men while Missy Elliot gets to bang George Clooney. Oh well…
