March Is MP Month! (the latest on this month's AMOB & FC releases) COME JOIN IN!!!

I really like the EP, but wouldn't listen much due to the mix. Wow this is a million times better. Psychosane! Wow, that Snare! Great job Mike, next up Flying Colors!

Hmmm....maybe Santa needs to put together a little goodie package to bring to the Hiro for all your dedication and support.... 
MP

 
Sorry for the delay, but only today that I got home!
It was a wonderful week in this city that I love: Symphony X, Iced Earth, NBA game and of course, the show's Adrenaline Mob!!!
 
I was very curious to see if "Santa" would show up that night ... and YES,  it exists!


 
In VIP experience, Mike was already waiting to deliver this package to me!!! Do you know any artist who does this? My admiration for him is not by chance!
Seeing what was inside the bag I went crazy:

"WHAT????? Is it real? Is this happening?"
There is some gauge of happiness? Because I was the max!!!
 
Mike, I have no words to thank you for what you did for me. Not only DVDs and CDs, but mainly for the attention you gave my wife and me. My wife not so far forgotten his hug! It was very fun!

 
As for the show: it was all wonderful! The band is amazing! John Moyer is the perfect guy that was missing!
A-Mob, Mike: thank you for another day unforgettable! Hope to see you again, anywhere in the world.
 

Rafael I am very happy for you man! That rocks. It's stuff like this that sets Mike apart from any musician I can think of, and also why I will keep coming back time and time again to support the man. Hopefully I will finally be able to see him out on tour if AMOB hits Canada sometime(Please Toronto this fall!), and maybe even meet the man himself. I know you hear it a lot, but Thanks Mike, you truly are in a class of your own, and Rock on dude!

Just amazing that Mike would be so generous to do something like that.  I can't say that I'm surprised though as Mike has always gone the extra mile for his fans.  But holy crap man he really hooked you up.  If anyone deserves it though, you do Rafael as your devotion to Mike and his projects is just beyond comprehension.  It's just great to see someones hero reward them for being such a devoted fan.  This is just one of the many reasons why I will always support Mike in everything he does.

@DT2003 - word!
 
Rafael, Mike, these pictures are telling million words. Your smiles are priceless! 
 
We all know why we are here and I'm honored to be part of such community.

Omg you really weren't joking when you said that Mike gave you "one of everything"!!!!
And I'm totally jealous of your pic! I guess that was before they turned on the lights and everyone else's pictures got white washed!

Cecilia, I'm sorry, my english is very bad and I not talk to you on that day of the show, but it was nice to meet you!
I think that night was wonderful for everyone who was there!

So what exactly were all those CDs/DVDs?

Finally getting in a good listen to Omerta.  
 
I like it a lot, and recommend it highly.  I didn't buy the EP because I didn't care for the samples that I heard on itunes.  But the actual CD is great!!  Good job Mike!!
 
Bring on the Flying Colors!!!!!

DT2003 and Enchanted - WORD!!!

Mike that gesture was very kind and it makes me proud to a fan.

^^ I concur with what everyone above has said! MP is thee man!
 
Can't wait for next week! I preordered the cd and I have heard that some of them are arriving early.... fingers crossed!

Any US buyers receive their AMob pre-order yet? I'm still waiting for mine... :(

Weird, I'm from Portugal and I already got my copy.

This album is so nice, I bought it twice!
Well....it took friggen FOREVER to get my pre-order from Tinman that I bought it on iTunes on the release date. Although I got my pre-order yesterday (almost a full week after the street release date...kind of defeats to purpose of a pre-order, wouldn't you say?) but I was one of the lucky ones to recieve an autographed booklet, so in the end, I wasn't too upset by the whole process.

The album is great, I know it contains the same songs as the EP but the new mix makes it sound completely new and different to my ears. I love this mix. It's one of the beat I've heard in recent years.
The music is cool, I still can't decide what my favorite track is yet tho lol

Exactly.  The EP is long forgotten.  Its all in the mix.
 
Down On The Floor is my favorite I would say.  Just listen to it stright through each time.
 
There's only so much prog or pop music, oldies, r&b, classic rock etc. I can listen too before the brain needs something different.  This is a good element in the mix of things, definitely.

MP talks about how his time w A7X & Uproar helped shape Adrenaline Mob (Video): http://fb.me/1BvXWbOfW Mike Portnoy & John Moyer Adrenaline Mob Video Interview: http://fb.me/C9RSdAcx MP Interview with the Denver Examiner http://fb.me/1FonYoLYP

I can now say Flying Colors is a perfect album.
Each song is amazing in its own style, superb songwriting and memorable melodies..I just find myself singing along pretty much all the time 
It's like Yes/U2/Coldplay/Muse/ELO/Neal Morse/The Beatles all in one band...what a treat 
 
Favorite 2012 album so far and will probably end up in my all-time favorites list !!

My favorite part is that Mike makes his "hand phone" with the horns

Dobe the Drummer

Good to see Mike open-handed bitch slap the deranged internet element with the F. Hugh.

I don't know what the expectations were for Mike, the label and the other guys in
the band but it looks like AMob did pretty well in it's first week charting at #70 and
that is higher (chart position...don't know about actual numbers) than Symphony X's
last studio album. Looks like a nice springboard for the band.

At Bilboard 200 chart? That's huge dude! What a great accomplish! Is it known already the first week sales? Those are things that I'm always looking forward to know! :)

Still enjoying Omerta, and just ordered my Flying Colors. Hope to have it by Saturday.

DAAAAAAMN!
 
Must have!
 
This should be evidence to declare MP insane.... for his fans 
 
I must admit the guy is beyond awesome. This needs to be recognized.
 
Why doesnt Blabbermouth publish this instead of all the gossip of a discussion board?

Mike, sad to say that although I have always been more on the "balls-n-chunk" side than the mellow side, I'm just not really digging what I've heard of Omerta.
 
That being said, I am LOVING everything I have heard from Flying Colors, and cannot wait to get my copy.  Flying Drumming will also likely be my first drum cam video purchase.  Not sure why I never picked up any of the others.  No excuse really, other than just the fact that "I'll get to it later" too easily become "Oh, I forgot all about that."  I was excited about this project when you first announced it, but like a lot of fans, wasn't really sure how it would turn out.  All I can say is, I'm really impressed.

ADRENALINE MOB's OMERTA DEBUTS TOP 5 ON THE BILLBOARD ROCK ALBUM CHART IN THE US! Thank you so much America!! Now it's your turn everywhere else in the World...Thanks for your amazing support everyone, everywhere!

Congrats!
I've put high hopes in success of A-Mob since very first days of this beast and am glad to see everything develops towards it. It's cool to see new tour dates added, knowing it's just the beginning of Mob's musical journey.

That's badass.  Hopefully word gets around about the album beyond the people who know MP, Russell Allen, etc.  I'm thinking there are millions of people out there who know nothing about the guys in the band and would just LOVE it for being such a killer bunch of heavy rock/metal tunes. 

I think that is where touring will help them greatly, unless they are only doing headlining shows.  But I would think opening for some big bands could get them huge exposure.

Got my Flying Colors copy today! One word: amazing! So much potential in this band  I hope it gets al lot of attention!
Didn't know McPherson, but I like his voice! Fits great!
 
Next: trying Amob 

Wow, congrats to MP for Adrenaline Mob hitting the top five on the rock billboard chart. That is awesome Mike.

Indeed.  Good stuff.
 
Track 2:  that whole instrumental takeoff reminds a little of Motley Crue, with the"wah-wah" going on.  Dig that whole rampant sound goin' on.
 
Regarding track 4, I take it that is a lighter being clicked at the beginning of the track, as someone is lighting a cigaretter cigar, pipe or doober.
 
Track 5, I'm lovin that who subtle twangy bass thing.
 
A lot of interesting underlying tidbits to grab onto within each tack.

On my first listen of FC now. Wow, this is incredible. All Falls Down is my favorite so far.
