Just days after it was announced that he'd been dismissed as the touring drummer for Avenged Sevenfold, Portnoy revealed that he tried to rejoin Dream Theater, and was rebuffed.

Portnoy, who co-founded Dream Theater more than 20 years ago, abruptly quit the band this summer while on tour with Avenged Sevenfold. He played on Avenged Sevenfold's latest album, Nightmare, following the death of that band's drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, and has toured with them since early summer.
