I imagine it's a number where if you convert it into morse code, it spells out 'ASANDBALS' . They were really thorough with those albums...
Jordan took Moore's boring, pedestrian parts and elevated them considerably to take them from barely palatable to stellar.

So it's just I&W and ACOS, not the whole show? Then my guess is 850.

Saw this research a while ago on a tweet Mangini shared or something similar. I think it's really cool Dr. Nadia is actually doing a big research like this with MM and DT :metal
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

I think this is interesting too, would love to see the results.  It's got to be quite a burn.

Interesting - missed this thread when it was initially started. That's a pretty amazing number of calories to burn through for a show. Not that it would make that much of a difference, but I wonder what the calories count was after they dropped DLPM and TLF and brought back TSCO.
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.

Edit: Oh wait, no I didn't, I was looking at the "both sets" count. The actual average for I&W+ACOS is 720

Well screw the treadmill then.  I'll ask my gym owner to put in a set of Pearls and pipe in some DT.

Haha, yess! Thanks, an athlete knows these things  ;)

That's not surprising at all but it's cool data, I would have guessed something like 1500 kcal from the entire show.
Do you even whahíbrido pickingant?
