Preface: I love Dream Theater and anything DT-related with all my heart. But this is just too easy! A media war of words between the remaining members of Dream Theater and the recently departed Mike Portnoy was bound to erupt sooner or later, right? Here's where things get really nasty, so that once the inevitable [...]
Believe it or not, folks still buy CDs. I know... I'm shocked too. But the weekly Soundscan numbers released by Neilsen actually do include digital downloads too. I know what you're thinking... people still pay for music? I s'pose so. Here are the most recent week's charting hard rock and metal releases, with my own [...]

Si hubiera que confeccionar una lista de las bandas de rock/metal más destacadas del año, seguro que Avenged Sevenfold estaría entre los candidatos. Su recién publicado disco Nightmare está teniendo unas cifras de venta muy buenas en todo el mundo -en España ha tenido una de las entradas más fuertes en el Top 100 de álbumes esta semana- y sus conciertos son el lugar idóneo para disfrutar de una dosis de espectáculo y buena música - Mike Portnoy tiene mucho que ver en esto-. Pues bien, [...]

Seguro que están siendo unos días con mucha actividad tanto para Dream Theater como para el que ha causado tanto revuelo, el baterista Mike Portnoy . Una de las cosas que más se valoramos desde Cuchara Sónica es la limpieza y la elegancia con la que está transcurriendo todo el proceso. No ha habido ni un insulto ni ninguna mala palabra desde ninguna de las partes. Poco a poco, todo está siendo aclarado. En esta ocasión, ha sido el propio Mike quien ha explicado mejor las causas por las que ha abandonado la [...]
by: Noa Avior As I sit here lamenting over Mike Portnoy's break up with Dream Theater I ask myself, why? Why am I eating a powdered donut over my new laptop? Because Mike Portnoy broke my heart. That's why. Honestly, I don't know why I was so shocked. Over the last couple of years Portnoy's ...
Reader Mike McGurney sent us a link to the below video, in which Mike Portnoy plays Avenged Sevenfold's "Nightmare" with his eleven year-old son, Max, awhile back... and we never ran it. But now certainly seems like an appropriate time, eh? I know some of you sourpusses will get your panties in a twist that [...]

It's not a great record and I don't know if it ever deserved [...]
