Title: Mike Portnoy / Taylor Swift

I enjoyed this. I've never heard him interviewed before. He seems like a really genuine guy. I hope he is.

I always feel the same when I see him play: out of control. There is no finesse. The arms seems to go in all directions.
I've seen him play live, pretty up close too, but it never feels fluent.
Also: he overplays, a lot.
Not my kind of drummer.

But I agree that he comes across as very genuine and likeable. He is 'good people'.

Seems like a nice guy, they're an awful band though.
