The wildest thing I found out about him recently. Is that before The Winery Dogs officially became a thing, Sir Russell Allen (Symphony X) was going to be the singer of the band that Portnoy was making and John Sykes wanted him.
Man, that would have been perfect.

I'm sure there is a million reasons but it always seems to come back to money. I kinda see it being a issue when you wright lyrics and music wanting your credit, but I think everyone in that band could contribute to the band... but then it gets down to how small a slice of the pie works for you."Slow Hand"

Artistically, I'm not sure I hear them as being compatible. Sykes favors massive walls of guitars that might not leave room for Portnoy's 50,000 drum hits per measure. I'm not sure where Russell would have found any room to operate in that dense wall of noise!!
