i will never lose respect for MP.
he made me interested in drumming and DT. i got all his DVD's and he was devoted to DT and there fans.
we want bootlegs, he provided good bootlegs, no shitty stuff, and that he's getting $ for all the hard work hours he spend on it it nothing but normal....(like if you like your boss, you say ahh well i work 24 hours today, but it's for free, just because i like you???).
he always gave comments on his forum and questions of fans, he made sure that every gig had a different setlist, made sure that what the fan bought was of a good quality, and this while the other members...well where not doing this however they do get $$ because of the royalities..now that's easy money!!
that he left DT was really shitty to me, but hey it's there choice, iam not in DT and i only know them from music, dvd,s interviews and such....so..i dont know them at all, nobody on here does. so why judge? maybe it turns out in 10 years that JMX is the biggest dick on earth?? how knows....
DT is alive, MP is making music and still talking to fans, but not it's MP fans not DT fans in general eventhough the majority of mp fans are dt fans. now with FB and twitter connecting to fans is easier and direct and that's not always good, for the poster, which in this case is MP, some post backfired..ahh well ....who cares.
MP was the only one in DT acutally making a shot when DT perfroms, while the other just stand ( i still hate it if JR slaps his leg on the beat like he's doing a orchestra or something...really annoying!!!) ....besides of MP there was no showmanship at all in DT and now with MM the others are trying to fill that gap. MP is ...THE MAN ,still is , will every be...he's a great drummer, great muscian and a smart business man. all the love and respect for him and for DT... it's albout the music at the end of the day... i pop in a cd to listen to DT, not opening amagzine to read t here words over and over again.....
And AX7......thats was a fun ride for MP...so what....
