I love how this thread went from Petrucci's Q n A posts to his budokan hollow years performance  :lol

IMO , saying Petrucci has no feel is like saying Myung only ever plays root notes.
He ALMOST does, at the end of Metropolis, I think.  ;D

How can you measure one's emotion anyway? Well there's clearly a difference between Kirk Hemmet and Eric Clapton, but I don't understand how you can possibly say Gilmour puts more emotion than Petrucci in any way. Just because he makes a better orgasm face? Because he takes years to pick another note? Some people are just less expressive. (Forgive my exaggeration, PF fans)

Good post. I've been saying the same thing for years.

Yeh his twitter says he has never listened to more drum solos. So maybye they havn't settled on a drummer yet.

Cool. I wonder how many DT-related updates we'll get in the near future.

Cool! I can officially quit following MP now. If I have to hear how cool the "boys" in A7X are one more time (or what a GREAT time he's having w/ them) I am going to puke.

I mean c'mon Mike, "the boys are even lettin me break my diet to celebrate w In n Outs tonite!!! : )" Oooh, maybe they can pick out which clothes he wears. WTF happened to MP?!?

Following JP on facebook now.  There was some weird looking "Hefner" guy posting on his comments though.  Oddly familiar looking though.  Not sure why...

Yeah. Actually, I *almost* stopped following Mike on facebook. But then I remember when I saw him at the Transatlantic concert, and he saw me singing along and smiled right at me (I was like 6 ft away from his kit all night).  He's just still such a cool guy. I can't let all the recent shit take away the great memories he's given me.

It means he lifted 300lbs (or roughly 135kg).

In case you don't know squat:


TAC

Quote from: wkiml on June 08, 2012, 09:06:35 AMwould have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Quote from: Stadler on February 08, 2025, 12:49:43 PMI wouldn't argue this.

Man, I haven't been on the forum for a while now, and I actually came to realize about Portnoy leaving through a coworker. I was kind of shocked.
But since I've been reading all these Petrucci posts, I feel at ease. The man is so genuinely humble it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Such a rarity nowadays. So refreshing.

Looks like JP is stepping up to the plate in terms of being the spokesperson?

I think he might be the new main face of the band. But I see JR and JLB making equal public appearances. JR has already been doing this heavily the last 2 years now.

Maybe as a form of foreplay. You know, shredding solos back to back until they get horny.  ;D

That explains the creepy look JP gave me after his solo in Panic Attack...

Nope... He's not following MP and viceversa... :)

Zorander

latest twitter:

"A 16 n-p-second scale session and a heavy leg workout makes for the perfect day!"

so.. he's now shredding through scales at only 16 nano*pico seconds, that's kinda intimidating. :eek Also, he seems to be focusing a lot on working out his legs recently, what is he up to?!?
