Backing Tracks: Mike Portnoy Leaves Dream Theater and Rust In Peace: Live.

September 7, 2010

Megadeth – Rust In Peace: Live is released in CD, DVD and Blu-ray forms. Well, not counting the other digital download formats. Rust In Peace 2oth Anniversary Tour marks the return of David Ellefson to Megadeth.

September 8, 2010

Dream Theater announced that Mike Portnoy had parted ways with the band. After 25 years Portnoy decided to take an indefinite hiatus from Dream Theater while the rest of the band are carrying on.

Mike Portnoy has a unique style to drumming that is also a signature sound to Dream Theater. Fans can only wonder what directions Dream Theater will go without Portnoy.

Black Clouds & Silver Linings has now become the last Dream Theater album with Mike Portnoy on Drums. Well, until he rejoins the band sometimes in the future, as fans hope.

One 500GB Seagate Momentus XT, please.

I’ve just placed an order for Seagate Momentus XT from Amazon.com. I have installed one of these on a MacBook Pro recently and it definitely gives some speed boost.

Seagate Momentus XT features 32MB Cache and 4GB SLC NAND solid state memory. (Specs)

Amazon is selling the bare-drive, that is sans the fancy packaging.

I will be installing this hard-drive on a 15-inch MacBook Pro Core i7 when it arrives.

As you can see, I also ordered Megadeth – Rust In Peace: Live CD and DVD. I do not the Blu-ray version yet because I don’t have any Blu-ray player.

David Ellefson Returns To Megadeth Line-Up.

It’s a surprise and somewhat predictable. David Ellefson rejoins Dave Mustaine and Megadeth per the announcement on Monday February 8th, 2010. Megadeth is set to embark on “Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary Tour” starting March 2010 and at this point in time are busy rehearsing every single song from the seminal record.

The return of Ellefson into Megadeth ranks means a departure for James LoMenzo who recorded “United Abominations” and “Endgame” in 2007 and 2009 respectively. So far there has been no explanation what really happened within Megadeth with regards to LoMenzo.
