I don't think he left DT, he just collaborated with A7X for Nightmare. He's not a replacement for The Rev either.

Portnoy cited conflicting interests as the reason behind his departure.[1][2][3][4] This has led to speculation that Portnoy will be joining Avenged Sevenfold full-time as a replacement for that band's late drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, but these rumors have yet to be addressed.

He did leave DT.

I think Avenged Sevenfold could be amazing with Mike, if he brings some more prog influence to them.

I seriously wish they would put more screaming back into their music, a mix of both is good.. their self-titled used to be my favorite, but after listening to all of their albums for a few years, Waking the Fallen is the clear winner. It sucks though because now that they are a bit more mainstream, they probably wouldn't go back to more screaming for fear of isolating some fans.

City of Evil is one of the greatest rock albums of all time and M. Shadows ripping his vocal chords was the best thing that happened to that band. Period.

I ♥ A7X so much, miss Jimmy

( Mike Portnoy was a great choice for finishing Nightmare though, reckon it was the best person they couldah got

Meh. They're really overrated but they aren't terrible.

They're new singles have been awfully atrocious. Is the album worth listening to?

are you talking about the album Nightmare or do they have another album that I might've missed?

not really my cup of tea

fans of A7X should check out Shadows Fall for superior music of that ilk (metalcore/mallcore)
