what about touring? they have dates in the future

Gazorpazorpfield

I dont know he probably will..I'd just find it funny if he was permanent.

Gazorpazorpfield

What dates? I thought they just finished and planned on writing

drinkwine732

It'd be a waste of his talent...imo...

Brian

**throws up**

drinkwine732

I swear I saw them on the lineup of some fest...

laurjohn2

no more HAIL! then.

Gazorpazorpfield

I agree its a waste...I still like the first two albums and like seeing them live..I would have been less surprised to see that Travis Barker was the new drummer lol

drinkwine732

Portnoy isn't in HAIL! is he?

laurjohn2

he was in HAIL! for the Foxboro and New York dates a couple weeks ago. I think he was just in the band a couple months

This is amazing. They're fucking true friends to do that in his memory. That's the equivalent of me dying and having Inferno take my place.

Everywhere I look it says he is "drumming for the album" So I doubt he'll be there for much more than a single tour if that.

"We asked Jimmy's all time favorite drummer Mike Portnoy to record on behalf of him" Well thats where they got him

you have to be a good drummer in order to have a good drummer replace you.

the thing is Inferno is an amazing drummer. you on the other hand........yeah.........

drinkwine732

Not that Erik isn't a good drummer, but I'd rather have Inferno play drums in Behemoth than take over the life of a 13 year old kid from the suburbs.

Brian

Erik, I'm sorry, but how come every time there is a situation about replacements etc you have to compare yourself and Behemoth. Just stfu please.

MarcTheFallen

i ain't saying Erik is a bad drummer. he knows i'm fucking with him.

sbs_will

I really dont know what to say to this.
