: MIKE PORTNOY Sued DREAM THEATER For 'Wrongfully Excluding' Him From Band

樂團人生又一章：肉鬆尼對夢劇場提告

: According to Courthouse News Service, ex-DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy
: filed a lawsuit against his former bandmates in April claiming that they
: "wrongfully excluded" him from the group and are "wrongfully using the name
: of the band in connection with [their] recording of an album without the
: participation or consent of [Portnoy]." In addition, the drummer's complaint,
: which was filed on April 27, alleges that the defendants — John Petrucci
: (guitar), John Myung (bass), Jordan Rudess (keyboards), James LaBrie
: (vocals), along with associated companies Ytse Jam, Inc. and Infinity Tours,
: Inc. — "are wrongfully using the name of the band in connection with the
: promotion of live performances by the individual defendants, without the
: participation or consent of [Portnoy]."

根據Courthouse News Service消息，前Dream Theater鼓手Mike Portnoy於四月控告前團
友們「不當地將他排除在樂團之外」和「不當地在沒有Portnoy參與或同意的情況下以
Dream Theater的名稱錄製專輯」。此外，這位鼓手在4/27提告中，指稱被告──John
Petrucci（吉他）、John Myung（貝斯）、 Jordan Rudess（鍵盤）、James LaBrie（主
唱），以及相關的Ytse Jam, Inc.、Infinity Tours, Inc兩家公司──「未經Portnoy參
與或同意，不當使用樂團名稱為被告的Live表演宣傳」。

: In an August 2011 interview with the Greek edition of Rock Hard magazine,
: Portnoy stated about his departure from DREAM THEATER, "I didn't make the
: decision to leave DREAM THEATER before [hooking up with] AVENGED SEVENFOLD
: [as their touring drummer], but I knew that something had to change in the
: DREAM THEATER camp. It's unfortunate that it was me that had to change,
: because I never wanted to leave the band — it was never my intention; I
: never wanted the split. I just merely thought that the band really could use
: a break, because I think the romance was really dying — backstage and
: between [the members] personally. 25 years without a break is a very, very,
: very long time and sometimes these relationships need a break from each other
: to rekindle the flame. So that's all I suggested. And even before I [went on
: the road] with AVENGED SEVENFOLD, I remember touring with [the progressive
: rock project] TRANSATLANTIC at the beginning of 2010 and already knowing that
: something was wrong in the DREAM THEATER world and that I really needed a
: break from the guys and the whole DREAM THEATER machine. I knew something was
: brewing and I knew that I was unhappy, and as has been well documented
: elsewhere, I merely just wanted a break. But unfortunately, those guys [the
: rest of DREAM THEATER] didn't see it that way and didn't respect my request
: for time off. It's unfortunate [that it turned out that way]."

在今年8月希臘版Rock Hard雜誌的訪談中，Portnoy說明他離開Dream Theater的事：「在
和Avenged Sevenfold作夥（擔任他們的巡迴鼓手）前，我並未做出離開Dream Theater的
決定，但我知道Dream Theater團內必須做些改變。不幸的是，樂團的改變就是我，因為
我從來就沒有要離團──我從來沒有那個意思，我從來就不想要脫團。我只是希望樂團可
以休息一下，因為我認為那種愛的感覺快消失殆盡了──無論是在幕後工作中或在樂團成
員之間。二十五年毫不休息是一段非常、非常長的時間，有時候這些關係需要放個假，好
再度燃起你對它們的熱情。所以，這就是我建議的事。而甚至在我跟Avenged Sevenfoldu
一起（巡迴）之前，我記得自己跟（前衛搖滾團體）Transatlantic巡迴，那時我就已經
知道Dream Theater的世界中有什麼不對勁了，我真的需要從這些人（DT團員）和整個
Dream Theater機器喘口氣。我知道有什麼事正在醞釀，而我也知道我並不快樂，就像其
他地方有刊載的一樣，我只不過是想休息一下而已。不幸的是，這些傢伙（Dream
Theater的其他團員）對這件事並不如此看，並且不尊重我想要休息一下的要求。（事情
變成這樣）真的很不幸。」


以下拉哩拉雜資訊和新專輯廣告就不翻了。

...這整件事真的變成樂團人生了= ="

: Portnoy, who co-founded DREAM THEATER more than 20 years ago, announced his
: departure from the band in September 2010 while on tour with AVENGED
: SEVENFOLD. He has since been replaced by Mike Mangini (ANNIHILATOR, EXTREME,
: JAMES LABRIE, STEVE VAI).
: Portnoy played on AVENGED SEVENFOLD's latest album, "Nightmare", following
: the death of that band's drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, and toured with
: them for the entire second half of 2010.
: DREAM THEATER's new album, "A Dramatic Turn Of Events", was released on
: September 13 via Roadrunner Records.
: 鼓手Mike Portnoy對昔日Dream Theater戰友提出告訴，
: 簡單說就是使用Dream Theater這個名號沒有讓Portnoy參與或同意就是違法...

我真的想用比較正面的態度面對這些鳥事，一個人懷恨這麼久太不健康。
不幸的是，有時候放下屠刀最好的方式就是把它砍進你敵人的頭骨。
