“I have no desire to write lyrics with Adrenaline Mob.” — Mike Portnoy Quote

“I have no desire to write lyrics with Adrenaline Mob.”

“I absolutely am not the 'de facto front man' in The Mob - that title surely goes to Russell Allen, who is one of the best front men in the business. I am just happy to be part of the band and not necessarily leading it.”

“I don't want people to think that I think I'm this great drummer because, to me, I'm just a kid playing drums, and I love music.”

“My brother and I spent our childhood in movie theaters screaming. I decided early on that that was the epitome of entertainment. I'm always trying for that same level of adrenaline in my books.”

“I hate big shots of adrenaline. It means you don't have enough margin.”

“When you're going a bit higher than you think you normally can, and you can feel the adrenaline and excitement of the public, that's really great.”
