DT in the studio again!

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

A bit off-topic, but what's happening with James' solo album? Has anybody heard anything?

YES! Jens Borgen is mixing/mastering it at the moment. This was posted by Matt Guillory on his FB this week.

Good. Jens Bogren seems to be almost synonymous with great albums.

Yeah, Static Impulse sounded amazing so I'm hoping for more of that quality

I wonder if this album we a continuation of the style on Static Impulse, or something else entirely....

Dubstep, perhaps?

[goo-goo]

My impression is that there would be less screamo/growling vocals but with the same heaviness that SI had. And with Peter Wichers from Soilwork, I would think the heaviness of the record will be upped a bit more.

Bite your tongue!

[BlackInk]

I actually like dubstep, but to hear it on a Dream Theater album would be very off pissing.

[TL]

I would be extremely surprised to hear any dubstep on a DT record.
On a JLB solo record though, maybe.

[wasteland]

He said that he respected Skrillex for what he did musically, I think. And that his son was a fan of his.

[JayOctavarium]

JLB Skrillex colab? I'm down

Sweet!!!

All he'd have to do is make Genie wear glasses.

I'm out.

Over The Edge:
"A behind the scenes interview in the studio as Dream Theater writes their new album. (Not for the DVD/BluRay... That's done and being prepped for release. Can't say any more than that! :-x )"

[Zydar]

Oh yeah

[wasteland]

James looks hugely taller than the others there

[BlobVanDam]

James looks hugely taller than the others there

I think he's sitting on a table inbetween the couches. And I think Mangini found Petrucci's hair straightener.

He found it a loooong time ago

[Mladen]

Yaaaay, always good to hear about an upcoming documentary. 

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

I guess JLB had to sacrifice his ass for the symmetry in the shot.

Funny how the have the rhythm section in one chair, the solo section in the other and the vocalist alone in the middle.

And he's the only one who didn't get to sit on the couch for the Twitter Q&A. JUSTICE FOR JAMES.

I was so amazed by MM's drum kit that it took me a couple of seconds to actually notice the band

[robwebster]

This is all very exciting and all, but more to the point - who's their lady friend on the far right?

Yes, no, don't worry, I know.

She looks like MM's wife

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

I can't see any mics on MM kit which means he's either done with his tracking or they have not begun yet, i'm not sure but of course it could also mean diddly-squat.

He doesn't need any mics, he is MIKE Mangini.

He's done! They wrapped the drums in the last couple of weeks, I believe.

shhhhh don't you know that when you speculate about DT you must present your opinions as fact

Ooooohhhh i did not know that but i do now! 

i'm not sure but of course it could also mean that i'll have to check with Over The Edge for the facts.

Better?

Steven Wilson would so be the star of the board

Question time with JXM!

"Any news on the release date for the new album?"

[BlackInk]

More or less pointless to choose to answer that question when no actual answer exists.

Though I guess they hadn't already said that in interviews or whatever when they filmed this

[KevShmev]

I am not sure what is worse:

The fact that that is the best question a fan could come up with (like they would tell us right now if they knew anyway, or the fact that the band chose that lame question to answer instead of picking one that is actually interesting.

Yeah, that actually makes me wonder if they're not just taking all the questions and answering them one by one, without filtering out the pointless ones.

Why do you guys hate the questions I asked?
