This "may" be the very first Portnoy related live event I'll pass on!

Party Pooper... 
 
Well, you're all gonna get "Metal Mike" in January with HAIL!....and "Prog Portnoy" in April/May with TRANSATLANTIC!

Haha... that's awesome. :) Metal Mike is the guy you wanna party with, and Prog Portnoy is the guy you hang with regularly. Both cool dudes, but two completely different scenes!
 
Metal Mike, if you ever take a wrong turn and end up in North Idaho, there's a cool metal club we can go watch some good local metal bands and get our head bangin on.
 
Prog Portnoy, if you ever take a wrong turn and end up in North Idaho, we've got a great steakhouse in town. :)

Unfortunately don't think I will be able to make this although I really would love to.  I'll have to see as it gets closer to the date how things are looking with work although at that point I would imagine this will probably be sold out.

When I first read the thread title I thought it was referring to the American experimental black/noise metal band Hail. Now that would have been interesting.

 
READ IT AND LEAN DUMASS.Hockkkkkkkk!

nice to see ya flexing the musical muscles throughout 2010 mike :)

Mike, "Territory" is epic fuckin WIN!

Can't wait to hear you blast-beat that mutha out!

\m/

This idea sounds so bad...

...BADASS!

What a lineup, what a setlist!  Heavy, fast, classic.  I bet MP will have a huge smile on his face the whole gig.  Can't blame him, but he'll have to growl sometimes to be \m/!

Hope it kicks ass and we get to hear some tracks

That is one of the most badass setlists EVER

Whaddaya know.. cool gig, should be loud :)

Baldrick, what begins with "Come here" and ends with "Ow"?

I'd love to hear that boot.

 

That version of Territory SLAYS!
Can't wait to hear something with Mike...
Which DT song do you guys think they'll play?
As I Am? Pull Me Under? Constant Motion? The Mirror?

 
Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is the best.

Didn't listen to Sepultura since Bloody Roots and Max left.

Do you guys think that Kisser's able to play the As I Am solo as great as JP can play it?

My wife and i have tickets to see the psychic Lisa Williams that night in Red Bank. Had I been the psychic I would have known not to buy the tickets since Hail was coming to BB Kings. Damn, I've never missed a BB King - MP appearence

MP > Lisa Williams, but is Marriage > Divorce?  Dilemma for you.

This makes me sad, I cant go to such a great show! FML

The all-star band, HAIL!, have announced their first United States shows at BB Kings in New York City on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 and at Showcase Live in Foxborough, MA just outside Boston on Wednesday, January 27th.
 
 

Got my ticket at 12:01pm today!  Can't wait!

Interested in bootleg trading... check out my website http://www.blackenedtrading.com

F ye!  I'm there!

I really apreciatte every MP side proyect, but I gotta agree with someone here on the forum, with all my respect and apreciation I must say that it's not my personal cup of tea. I REALLY love metal only when it's well used on a determined purpouse, that's why I really apreciatte DT heavy parts because they are well balanced and with an awesome contrast, same with PoS and PT even Opeth. 
I can really hate metal too and can be really boring.

Anyway, Mike good luck on this new adventure of yours!

sweet i love living 4 blocks away from BB Kings

I have my tik for Foxboro

 Will any of these "HAIL" shows be shot for a DVD/Blu-Ray?

-We need some more Rockjuice!

I guess this counts as a psuedo-HAIL CA appearance (with Phil Demmel instead of Andreas Kisser):
 
Sat 1/16:
 
---- Tama booth 11 AM to 12 PM
signing with Charlie Benante (Anthrax), Kenny Aronoff, and Brian Frasier-Moore (Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson).
---- LP booth 1 PM to 3 PM
---- Pro-Mark booth at 3 PM
 
---- MP will also be appearing this evening (Sat 1/16) as a special guest for a few songs with an all star jam featuring David Ellefson, Ripper Owens and Phil Demmel of Machine Head at the Slide Bar in Fullerton, CA at around 10pm as part of a benefit for Chi from The Deftones.

Cool that MP is partaking in a benefit concert for Chi. Hopefully he'll get well soon.

Mike, "Territory" is epic fuckin WIN!

Can't wait to hear you blast-beat that mutha out!

\m/

Discovered now "Territory" and "This dying soul" have some similatities in the intro, drumwise. Probably 100% unintentional, but pretty cool neverthless:-)

For me, it's even cooler this is being done for Chi. I have a lot more respect for the metal community now :)

<------------ Here's the most quoted MP Forumer of all time

Has anyone been here? Is it going to be 21 and up or can I get X's on my hands or something? I'd love to go, especially to benefit Chi.

Thanks for doing this, Mike!

BraveWords.com has received the following press release: The fast-rising heavy metal band AGE OF EVIL will be supporting the first-ever US shows for HAIL! - which is comprised of such renowned names as Tim Ripper Owens (singer, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, Andreas Kisser (guitarist, SEPULTURA), Dave Ellefson (bass, F5/ex-MEGADETH), and Mike Portnoy (drums, DREAM THEATER). The shows will take place at B.B. Kings in New York City on Tuesday, January 26th, and at Showcase Live in Foxborough, MA (just outside Boston) on Wednesday, January 27th. “We will tear your faces off,” declares AOE guitarist Jordan Ziff about the group’s kick-ass live show. “And if not, it’s a money back guarantee. Just kidding. But we give 150% every night we play. We are trying to rejuvenate good music into the metal scene and a certain rawness that everyone has seemed to have lost. You need to put your soul into your music.” The Scottsdale, Arizona-based Age of Evil, which in addition to Ziff, is comprised of singer/rhythm guitarist Jeremy Goldberg, bassist Jacob Goldberg, and drummer Garrett Ziff, is riding high on wide spread acclaim for their recent release, the six-track EP, Get Dead. "Thanks to young Arizona rockers Age of Evil, the sounds of vintage metal are alive and well as we kick off the second decade of the 21st Century," raves Andy Secher, Editor for Hit Parader Magazine. And if that wasn’t enough acclaim, "Metal" Tim Henderson from BraveWords.com adds, "Youth Gone Wild! These school-yard bruisers are turning heads and taking vintage thrash to a new era of combat.” Additionally, Revolver Magazine picked Age of Evil as a 'Band to Watch" in 2010, and Get Dead was recently deemed a “New & Noteworthy Release” for four weeks straight on iTunes. Quickly building up a solid following thanks to shows throughout the world - including European dates this past summer with the likes of JON OLIVA'S PAIN, SOULFLY, ARCH ENEMY, and MANOWAR - the upcoming dates with Hail! will truly be a headbanger’s delight. Judging from their rapid ascension, catch these young lads in an intimate setting while you still can!

I cant believe this, HAIL came to Lebanon a couple of months ago, RARELY do rock bands come to Lebanon, usually its all DJ's, I didnt go cuz i wasnt really into the group....Now MP joins, OH MY &&#@$%* GOD, COME BACK TO LEBANON!

I think the every not second, but the third show with MP of this BC&SL tour-time must be published at DVD))

Lucky people sreover there. we have nothing of such a level . I can only imagine how will it be)

DEFTONES' Chi Cheng Benefit Raises $100,000!
 
Posted on Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 14:18:09 EST

Last night (January 16th), drummer Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER), bassist David Ellefson (HAIL!, ex-MEGADETH), singer Tim "Ripper" Owens (Hail!, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) and guitarist Phil Demmel (MACHINE HEAD) took part in an an all-star jam to benefit Chi Cheng (DEFTONES) at the Slide Bar in Fullerton, CA. Cheng has been in a semi-conscious state since being involved in a horrific accident in November 2008, and his family has accumulated an overwhelming amount of medical bills that insurance does not entirely cover.
 
Hail! have issued the following post-benefit report:
 
"The show last night at the Slide Bar went amazing! The place was packed to the rafters and the line extended around the block till long after we played. Thanks to all your wonderful support the event was a tremendous success and over $100,000 was raised to help offset Chi Cheng from the Deftones medical expenses. It was an honor to be able to contribute to this benefit event – we wish you the best Chi and hope for your continued and full recovery.
 
We originally planned a six song set of 'Ace Of Spades', 'Breaking The Law', 'Grinder', 'Paranoid' and 'Run To The Hills' but as we are prone to do we threw in two more that even we didn’t know we were going to play! We were having such a good time that we spontaneously broke into 'Cold Gin' and ended the night with 'The Trooper'. As Andreas was not with us (he was in Brazil), Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel, and THE LETTER BLACK guitarist, Mark Anthony, filled in and did an amazing job. These guys both killed it and we thank them profusely. Mike Portnoy played drums and was his usual ridiculously great. Due to the nature of the event, we weren’t able to rehearse or even soundcheck so when we stepped on stage it was literally the first notes we ever played together.
Most surreal memory of the evening was that there were no dressing rooms in the club so we changed and hung out in the kitchen of the restaurant as the staff actively cooked all around us. Check out our photo section for some funny pictures.
 
LIT guitarist, Jeremy Popoff, who owns the venue, along with the event promoter, Danny Hill, took good care of us and we thank them. It was a fun warm up for our shows in New York and Boston next week – we’re looking forward to them and will see you all soon."

"Music is just a release of all that stuff inside that's trying to kill you. I think just — life is so difficult. The thing I love about music is that you can take painful, deep things that hurt, and turn them into something beautiful." ~ Ray LaMontagne

100K. That's fantastic.

Props to MP and the other musicians for doing such a great thing.

Off to search for vids :)

Sound like some serious fun...
Hope they tour Europe!

That'd be another opportunity for you and me...

Another chance would be Dave Matthews...


On topic: the setlist is really great...
