Dream Theater members - Past & Present
« on: November 17, 2017, 11:49:12 PM »
I have been gathering statistics over a period of time. And had some cool results... If i could remove my previous polls i would but cant seem to find that option. So i will ask Bosk1 to remove them as i dont want it to look like im flooding the forum with question polls...

But after having looked at these results both from here and elsewhere. This time im looking to see what the fans think of both the past and present members as to which has kept themselves in better shape....
This isnt to shame or criticise anyone.... its just gaining numbers based on votes.. and interested in different opinions as to why they vote...
I suspect many will vote Petrucci but i dont wanna make assumptions. Thats why i pose this question to the fans...

Think of it like asking your fav member of DT that you feel has kept themselves going strong physically...... :metal

Like....physical shape? You start some odd threads my friend.

I honestly have no idea. Last time I was with the members of DT past and present and they were all naked, I was blind folded and handcuffed, so I didn't get much out it.

Haha....
Na basically want im getting at is its like im trying to see and weigh up different views.
One i had was in terms of group looks and style...
Another was seeing peoples opinions on bands together.

But this time round, im not bothering with other bands. I wanna focus on DT and the history of DT of its members...
Reason why i think many would pick Petrucci is possibly because he works out and its visible he is a muscular guy. Someone else might think Portnoy because of how he colours his beard all the time... or some could say Myung as he never seems to age.... I havent really seen much of Moore or Dominici but someone else might have...
So im curious as to what others think and see what people say...

In terms of performance shape, definitely Rudess. His fingers are as fast and precise as ever.

After a couple minutes Googling for "john petrucci pants" I came across this old-ish DTF thread with, indeed, funky-looking pants: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=45003.0

Noticed some strange votes here....
Mangini & Rudess above Petrucci.... and above Derek.
Has anyone seen Dereks form recently?
Thought it would be Petrucci in pole position.... even though steroid usage is kinda cheating

I think the mistake you are making is assuming that anyone is taking this poll seriously.

...or how one can take this poll seriously without Steve Stone and his mullet as an option.   :-\

John Myung for sure! He could probably take on the wbole band at once and be the last one standing.

I dunno about that. The last time Myung tried to take down a band member, he was killed and all video evidence destroyed. (ever notice how different Myung is in the LiT video? It's a different guy...)

Jordan took Moore's boring, pedestrian parts and elevated them considerably to take them from barely palatable to stellar.

Portnoy.  He likes to wear basketball jerseys, so he must be a pro baller.
