Episode Details

John Petrucci’s solo album Terminal Velocity features a surprise return of Mike Portnoy behind the drums — sparking reunion rumors for Dream Theater. But Petrucci clarifies it’s all about keeping his solo work separate from the band’s identity, not paving the way for Portnoy’s comeback. In fact, he’s happy to collaborate with both Portnoy and current drummer Mike Mangini — even if their studio session had a funny moment when Portnoy launched into an old Dream Theater track instead of what Petrucci expected. No changes to Dream Theater’s lineup here — Mangini stays, and Petrucci’s solo mission remains firmly on its own path.
