Seeing we have a lot of love for MM here, I thought why not make a(n) (un)original thread to appreciate him. Some are blatant ripoffs from Chuck Norris and JP.

Mike Mangini has more limbs than an octupus

Mike Mangini can smoke a cigar and play 58 different time signatures at a time.

MM does not fall into infinity when he divides by zero. Because he's just a fucking awesome teacher!

Mike Mangini gave all the women in Boston orgasms when he got the elusive phone call from DT.

MM's left hand can cure cancer. Too bad he's always too busy with it.

When Mike Mangini has 56 cymbals and you have 56, then he has more.

MM has mind control over every single human being, he's just too nice to misuse his powers.

Mike Mangini's limbs travel faster than the speed of neutrinos.


Feel free to add more!

Mike Mangini has gone used the bathroom at least once in his life

Mike Mangini is both a man and a genie.
When Mike Mangini plays in 4/4, he plays more complex stuff than the stuff you play in bars alternating between 31/16, 13/8, and 23/16.

Definitely lame =P

These are really good!

I'm pretty sure these are not true.  You could be sued for writing these things. Better edit your post to include real facts, such as: Mike Mangini has played for artists such as Dream Theater and Steve Vai.

Well, I'm trying to make a fortune in lies at the moment.  :hat

Mangini last played 4/4 in 1996. He used it to stop a tsunami, thus saving millions.

Kowtowboy wins the thread  :rollin

Mike Mangini didn't play for Steve Vai. Steve Vai played for Mike Mangini.

Kotowboy

Lars Ulrich used to be the greatest drummer in the universe until mangini played 4/4 and removed 99% of Lars' drumming ability.

Pols Voice

Mike Mangini can and will break ALL illusions.

Metro

Mike Mangini can play The Dance of Eternity with one hand.

No, seriously.

Mike Mangini was the red shirt on every away mission.

The earth takes 365 days to revolve around the sun because Mike Mangini's drum solo was scheduled for day 366, and it wanted to make sure to give him its undivided attention.

King Postwhore

Mangini is so good that his drum accents are better than his Boston accent.

Rick Allen can play Def Leppard's entire discography with one arm.  Mike Mangini actually played Def Leppard's entire discography with one arm in one sitting...in under 17 minutes.

Seems like one of these should come easy for me.

Mike Mangini can have Dana and Zuul.

Mike Mangini isn't like a box of chocolates.  You always know what you're gonna get.

If captured, the energy from one Mangini solo could end Western dependency on foreign oil

If Mangini would apply to be a vibrator, he would be rejected as overqualified.

PetFish

Mike Mangini can play in TWO bands named "Def Leppard".


Sorry, bosk, I've actually been thinking of this one for a while but didn't know if I'd have an appropriate time to say it cuz it's kind of in bad taste, but I love Def Leppard so it's ok.

Armies around the world when building their automated weapons set a "top rate of fire goal" but continually fail to achieve it. It is 5/8th the speed of MM's single stroke roll and coincidentally the speed of light. 

rumborak

People talk about MM's drum solos, but that's actually the wind-down to the actual solo. The actual solo is so fast it travels backward in time. You have to show up at the venue several hours in advance, long before the band shows up, to hear it. I've heard of other bands' complaints who would play the venue the day before, only to have MM's drum solo arrive in the middle of their gig.

The hole in the ozone layer has nothing to do with pollution or global warming : it was dug when MM threw his sticks away after the DT audition and they reached the sky.

Mike Mangini could play Def Leppard's discography with Rick Allen's missing arm!
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
