That was super random. Did JP cut the beard?

[Peace and Love]

Did JP finally trim the beard? Or is this an old video?

[bosk1]

Well, the article said "recently," so... 

[mikeyd23]

Honestly, that's what JP looked like during the DT12 promo cycle.

[FracturedMirror]

Little known fact: with the beard, JP can wield Thor's hammer; without it this is the best he can do.

No, it is actually very well-known fact.

[goo-goo]

LOL. JLB was laughing his ass off in the background.

[Tomislav95]

Anyone know what is the record?

[darkshade]

Definitely not an older photo. Hairline bro.

[TJPNET]

Anyone know what is the record?

Out of the five videos on the channel, Petrucci has the longest time so far.

[YtseJamittaja]

Haha, that was random  JLB have done this too, he is on the trailer.

I wanna know which one did better 

[Adami]

Curious who got the record.


I have a feeling JM would be able to hold it indefinitely without a problem. He'd probably be able to play the TDOE solo while holding it too.

From the comments:

2 minutes?! For someone who listens to James LaBrie's voice for 2 hours a night, that's nothing.

[Mladen]

That was funny. And it does look like it was taped during the DT12 days, even the guys from Alter Bridge are in there which makes me think this might go back to the promo tour both bands did for their albums in 2013. Another clue: LaBrie's hair color.

[mikeyd23]

Yeah I definitely think it was taped on the DT12 promo cycle, weird to just release it now...

[CharlesPL]

It's from 2013.

weird to just release it now --- mikeyd23, It was already on YT.

[mikeyd23]

Right, but it was weird for Blabbermouth to release the article with the video on May 26, 2016 if it was filmed in 2013... That's all I was saying 

[CharlesPL]

They Are Drunk

[kirksnosehair]

I'm glad he finally removed that Grizzly Adams facial hair.  He looks more like a normal person now and some wino from the alley behind the bar.

[Paintbox]

He looks younger here, either he lost some weight or it's just an old video

[Cable]

Didn't check the uTubes link of the video, but the intro music is Enemy Inside. So that makes me feel it's 2013-2014 or whatever.

[TJPNET]

James is up now.

[BlobVanDam]

James LeBrie!

From a quick skim of the other episodes, it looks like JP is in the lead, and surprisingly JLB is just behind him. Doesn't look like anybody else has quite cracked 2 minutes.

[goo-goo]

Based on the comments, seems like John set a record

"Will James beat John who set the new record last week?"

[BlobVanDam]

Obviously JP doesn't let JLB skip arm day.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

No one skips arm day.

[goo-goo]

Obviously JP doesn't let JLB skip arm day.

For some reason I thought JLB wasn't going to last that long. I was kind of surprised he lasted 2 mins.

Another fun video. I'm also surprised by his strength and ability, it's interesting how he immediately used the singer's technique to focus on his breathing. It's also funny that a slightly flamboyant frontman ended up holding up this hammer for two minutes. Where are all the macho metalheads now? 

[Mebert78]

I feel like Myung would be surprisingly good at this.  He would reach a zen state and just hold it up for like three minutes.

[CDrice]

Well that was more entertaining than it should have

I think you mean three days.

HAHAHAHAHA!
BTW, I'm surprised guitar player from Trivium didn't last longer, he is animal.

[TheCountOfNYC]

I just realized that John set the record with his left arm. Isn't he naturally right handed?
