The Namm show was wild and crazy to say the least! I was very proud to introduce the Korg Kronos! Now I am back in NY and came directly to the studio with Dream Theater. The riffs are flying!! And never a dull moment.. On Sunday the 23rd I will be playing live in Tarrytown NY. I will be joined by James Labrie, Eren Bas...bug and the RnL project. Come to the show

Metabog · January 18, 2011, 06:32:27 AM

Oh my god, there's riffs.

tri.ad · January 18, 2011, 06:40:24 AM

I wonder if he is going to add the Kronos to his live equipment. It really is a damn fine sounding keyboard, after all.

kronos, eigen(?) harp and iphone/ipad apps ensures a solid dt album

King Postwhore · January 18, 2011, 08:23:16 AM

I know Kronos is a term for a mythical god but my Syfy nerd in me would love a Klingon tie-in on the new keyboard. That would be too funny.

jonny108 · January 18, 2011, 09:05:22 AM

From the Captain: Can't wait for you to hear what were doing in the studio. It is kicking major ass.

Except that's spelled Qo'noS...just sayin

But yes, it'll be interesting to hear JR include all these instruments in the next album, and eventually see him use them on the tour!

Yes yes, I know! I just wanted to bring out the Trek in me!

Either way, hearing some Klingon battle music would be pretty EPIC on the next album.

Man, I'm listening to the band in JR's last Facebook update. Good god, could one sound more generically prog than that?

jhonny108 posted what JLB said on twitter. I think he is in the studio.

EDIT: I guess someone else already answered this.

This coming from a guy who's band sounds EXACTLY like Dream Theater.

Lowdz · January 18, 2011, 10:38:38 AM

Surely if you're jamming on ideas you would want a drummer there?

yeshaberto · January 18, 2011, 10:45:35 AM

i am currently watching all of the back to the future series to see how I can head to the future to hear the new album. i can't wait, otherwise

If you make it FFS come back and tell us who the drummer is.

Stoneyman · January 18, 2011, 10:55:41 AM

Someone tweet CJS, JR, and JP and ask if the mysterious new drummer is there with them NOW!

They can surely say yes or no, right? That doesnt break any contractual agreements.

If they say yes, we can speculate like crazy.

If they say no, we can speculate like crazy.

Do It.

Do It.

jonny108 · January 18, 2011, 11:00:47 AM

Quote from: jonny108 on January 18, 2011, 11:00:47 AM
DONE!

Great! We sit back now and wait for someone to set off the trap!

Plus, we know from JR that they are in New York for sure too.

Maybe tweet at Mangini, Lang, and Minneman and ask "where are you right now?"

Pull a jedi mind trick on them to see who will admit they are in New York. We must employ some super sleuth skills in order to break the DT-vinci code.

jonny108 · January 18, 2011, 11:24:33 AM

Well Mangini is currently recording with another band, not sure about Lang or Minnemann but will have a look.

SystematicThought · January 18, 2011, 02:21:58 PM

Good Luck getting a response from them. They rarely reply back...
