I'm just saying! If they do AROP next tour, I don't want to hear MM screaming, "Brothahood!" during the first verse.

If they do AROP next tour, it will be a backing track of JLB, with JP at the microphone.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

If they do AROP next tour, it will be a backing track of JLB, with JP at the microphone anyway.

Meaning MM won't be doing backup vocals.

But not necessarily. I mean, they didn't use a backing track for Metropolis on LALP.

Please, God, ask him his favorite brand of cigars.  I've been trying to get this answered for a couple of years now, ever since I discovered that we shared this vice.
In case I wasn't clear, ask this question.  Or I will be tempted to do bad things.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Well, i did the interview which will be published soon, but i didn't have the time to ask this. Unfortunately Mike was about to do warmup and he already asked the manager for more time when he came in and told us to be quick.

I have to say, Mike is a really great guy, very humble and genuine, i was impressed by the passion he had when talking about the band and the inner workings during the writing of the album.

Here's a picture of me and Mike, so you know i'm not bullshiting you :lol

Is he still wearing the hand/wrist splint when he isn't onstage?

We wasn't wearing it when he came to the venue, but later he wore it. Actually he talked about that during the Zildjian event, he said that he wears the headband to keep the in-ear monitors in place, and the hat on top so he doesn't look weird  :lol

LOL! That's the first thought that came to my mind when I saw his picture!

Seriously, looking forward to seeing/reading this interview. Just out of curiosity, how long did the interview last?
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

The photo doesn't show for me. When I open it in a new tab I get a 404 error.

Lol, it's funny how the type of smoke and alcohol can have so much influence on our perception.
Cigar Smoke and Brandy = Classy
Menthols and Vodka = White Trash  :lol
