Get Thrashed: The Story Of Thrash Metal director Rick Ernst reports:
"DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy grew on in Long Island, NY - the same area I grew up in. As you'll see from his thoughts on Get Thrashed and his personal photos, he too was/is consumed by thrash metal."Mike Portnoy review: "I just finished watching it and it was like re-living 11th and 12th grade all over again!!!
Somehow when I went off to Berklee, I got sidetracked with the prog stuff and it re-routed my musical direction with Dream Theater... but this DVD shows MY LIFE from 1984 to 1986 when I was in the moshpit at all the shows at L'Amour Brooklyn and Sundance! (NY area clubs)
Check out this post on my site with a few funny pix from that time that you may get a kick out of!!!
You can take MP out of the thrash scene, but you cant take the thrash scene out of MP!
Bonded By Blood, MP."
Get Thrashed: The Story Of Thrash Metal DVD is available now.
