M. Shadows did a small interview with Pulse of Radio
regarding the Mike Portnoy and Dream Theater situation.
"M. Shadows told The Pulse Of Radio that the band was not happy about the public
way in which drummer Mike Portnoy’s split with his former group Dream Theater
was played out, which may have soured Portnoy’s relationship with Avenged,
ultimately causing his departure from the Orange County, California-based act.
“We were actually a little more shocked,” M. Shadows said.
“We felt that maybe both parties could have handled it a little more internally without being so
press release-happy about what had happened between them.
Because we’re a band that, really, when it comes to news all over web sites or this or that about bands,
you know, we don’t tweet much, we don’t try to put ourselves out that much,
and all the drama and controversy wasn’t something that we wanted at all.”"
