Biografie:

Michael Stephen Portnoy (* 20. April 1967 in Long Beach, Long Island, New York) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schlagzeuger. Er ist insbesondere bekannt als Gründungsmitglied der Progressive-Metal-Band Dream Theater, die er 2010 verließ. Geboren in Long Beach, New York, wuchs Mike Portnoy in einer jüdischen Familie auf. Portnoys Vater war Rock-’n’-Roll-Disc-Jockey. Durch die Platten seines Vaters brachte Portnoy sich nach eigener Aussage mit elf Jahren selbst das Schlagzeugspiel bei. Nach seiner High-School-Zeit, in der er in mehreren Bands spielte, wechselte Portnoy zum Berklee College of Music in Boston, wo er John Petrucci und John Myung, die weiteren Gründungsmitglieder von Dream Theater, kennenlernte. Zusammen mit dem Gitarristen John Petrucci schrieb Portnoy die meisten Liedtexte für Dream Theater. Mike Portnoy litt unter Alkoholsucht, die er mit Hilfe der Anonymen Alkoholiker therapierte. Dies wird in den Texten der Songs der von den Fans so getauften Alcoholics Anonymous Suite behandelt. Seit dem Jahr 2000 ist er abstinent. Auf dem 2009 veröffentlichten Album "Black Clouds & Silver Linings" schrieb er die Ballade "The Best Of Times" in der er den Tod seines Vaters verarbeitete. Nach dem tragischen Tod des Schlagzeugers von Avenged Sevenfold half Mike Portnoy der Band kurzfristig bei ihren Studioarbeiten und vertrat den verstorbenen James Owen Sullivan, dessen Lieblingsschlagzeuger er gewesen war, auch bei der Tour zum neuen Album. Im September 2010 verließ Portnoy seine Band Dream Theater, um eine einjährige Pause zu machen und sich anderen Herausforderungen zu widmen. Einen später angefragten Wiedereinstieg lehnte der Rest der Band ab. Im Januar 2011 tat Portnoy sich mit Steve Morse, Neal Morse, Dave LaRue und Casey McPherson zusammen, um ein Album aufzunehmen. Die Band firmiert unter dem Namen Flying Colors; das Album erschien am 26. März 2012. Ebenfalls im Jahr 2011 gründete Portnoy zusammen mit Russell Allen, Mike Orlando und John Moyer die Hard-Rock-/Heavy-Metal-Supergroup Adrenaline Mob, deren selbstbetitelte EP im selben Jahr erschien. Am 13. März 2012 folgte das Album Omertà, das neben den vier Eigenkompositionen einige Coversongs enthält. Seit 2012 arbeitet Portnoy mit dem Mr.-Big-Bassisten Billy Sheehan und dem -Gitarristen Richie Kotzen an einem Projekt, das seit 2013 den Namen The Winery Dogs trägt. Das Powertrio veröffentlichte sein selbstbetiteltes Debütalbum am 23. Juli 2013. 2013 schloss sich Mike Portnoy der Progressive-Rock-Band Bigelf als neuer Drummer an.
