I didn't know that Mike Portnoy was their drummer. I thought he was just laying down the pre-written tracks for the new album. I remember because I was on Christmas break and my mom had to go back to work and she called me at home the day after he died and told me. I bawled so hard that night. :( The next day my eyes were all red and swollen... not pretty. Ha ha. But I'd live with a swollen face if Jimmy could come back. I didn't even know the guy and I still miss him like crazy.
