Jem Godfrey's little jab at DT

[hefdaddy42]

OK, I will break down the way I read this.

Fair play to bands like Dream Theater who can throw shapes with total conviction and rawk until the cows come home

I have a lot of respect for bands who can get up there and totally rock out and really mean it, and deliver that kind of performance.

but personally speaking I feel uncomfortable peddling teen angst amidst an extended furry of  32nd notes whilst also having a mortgage. I’m not sure teen angst and a mortgage can co-exist.

But I feel like I personally am too old for this.

If he keeps compensating by adding to the beard then the Leland Sklar look beckons.

I just looked him up and OMG 

[goo-goo]

Also, Jem and Jordan seem to be friends. I wouldn't expect Jem to take a jab at DT...Jem seems to say very weird words when talking (from his previous videos) so I think Hef is right in his interpretation of what Jem said.

yep, as a fellow Brit, I agree with this interpretation.

As Hef already pointed out, there's no jab being taken at all, and that is crystal clear when one actually reads the entire quote.  Both the thread title and the deliberate inclusion of only part of the quote while deliberately omitting the rest of it are very misleading.  This isn't "good-natured controversy" at all; just controversy for controversy's sake.
