Will you be accepting of the new drummer?

EchoOfSilence · March 21, 2011, 06:13:10 PM

I've asked myself this question and thought I throw it out here as a good starting post on these here forums.

bosk1 · March 21, 2011, 06:14:00 PM

Why not? I can't really imagine why anyone would vote "no."

Perpetual Change · March 21, 2011, 06:14:27 PM

Yup.

ricky · March 21, 2011, 06:22:44 PM

If he isn't a pick totally out of left field that i think will never work in a million years.

then yeah, ill accept him.

lodeus · March 21, 2011, 06:23:49 PM

Yes

DarkEternalNight · March 21, 2011, 06:27:03 PM

Accepting? Yes. Disappointed? Maybe.

emindead · March 21, 2011, 06:28:03 PM

accepting of?

Super Dude · March 21, 2011, 06:32:12 PM

Accepting? Hell, I know I speak for at least one other person here when I say I welcome him/her.

DarkLord_Lalinc · March 21, 2011, 06:37:08 PM

Do you hate Innocence Faded?

ricky · March 21, 2011, 06:48:15 PM

it's not as obvious though.

Chino · March 21, 2011, 07:07:55 PM

Who voted no?? Is MP lurking the boards?

Implode · March 21, 2011, 07:16:41 PM

How many people will vote "yes", then when the drummer is finally announced will rage?

dongringo · March 21, 2011, 07:50:36 PM

I vote yes...and there will be no reason to rage.

Quadrochosis · March 21, 2011, 08:05:43 PM

THAT'S ENOUGH!

I will not accept anyone who is not Mike Portnoy!

zxlkho · March 21, 2011, 08:05:49 PM

Nope. I hate that guy.

ClairvoyantCat · March 21, 2011, 08:08:22 PM

As long as he doesn't try to sing I'd venture to say I'm more along the lines of excited.
That'd be a real step up.

SeventhSon · March 21, 2011, 08:15:19 PM

I'm sure the new drummer will be great. I can't imagine the DT guys being the types to take this kind of a decision lightly. Considering the discussion and debate that goes into their musical compositions, surely their choice a new drummer is going to be the right choice for everyone involved.

Ben_Jamin · March 21, 2011, 08:43:42 PM

Of course, since the new album will be epic.

ddtonfire · March 21, 2011, 09:01:47 PM

Unconditionally.

As long as they don't suck.

blackngold29 · March 21, 2011, 09:05:40 PM

As opposed to continuing the band without a drummer?

Fuck yeah I will, bring him on, let's make glorious normal drummer-fan relationship love together.

politically correct?

sneakyblueberry · March 21, 2011, 09:09:35 PM

Nah I hate him already

j · March 21, 2011, 09:11:03 PM

Why would people not accept him, whoever he is? Goes double for me because I don't know a damn thing about drumming, so I won't even be able to tell if it's a "good fit" or not anyway.

mittinagus · March 21, 2011, 09:11:44 PM

Accept yes, but if it's Mangini i surely would be disappointed...

Oops, there I go using the singular "they" again...

ricky · March 21, 2011, 09:42:51 PM

well technically its not singular, as there is a plural amount of drummers that could be the chosen one.

Without hearing the new album why?

SnakeEyes · March 21, 2011, 10:36:03 PM

The new drummer doesn't play with enough emotion.

yeshaberto · March 21, 2011, 11:17:50 PM

it will take me a while, but eventually

pogoowner · March 21, 2011, 11:47:59 PM

I have no reason not to be.

tri.ad · March 21, 2011, 11:54:22 PM

Of course. I don't see why I shouldn't be.

ThroughHerEyesDude6 · March 22, 2011, 12:11:47 AM

I can see another person there, sure. I will be accepting.

It's not going to be the same, but change is good. Besides, the pattern in their discography dictates that this album will be great. Analyze this:

(In bold are the albums that are absolute favorites/great albums as a whole)

When Dream and Day Unite
Images and Words
Awake
Falling Into Infinity
Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Train of Thought
Octavarium
Systematic Chaos
Black Clouds & Silver Linings
[New album]

Someone else picked up on this! I had a massive theory going based on this.

Then I listened to Octavarium for the first time in ages and it wasn't that great
