8 tracks, 30 minutes, 1 instrumental.

I mean, good music appeals to me.  Some of my favorite albums are from projects rather than regular bands.

But whatever.

One of my favorite records is that JP/JR duo live album they did (I believe it was before JR was in DT as well). JP is mostly on an acoustic guitar.

So yeah, agreed. Project/Band doesn't matter to me as much as "good" does

Happy 5th anniversary to Grand Tour!

Yeah, the place he is playing in Kirkwood, MO next month is about 10-12 minutes from where I live, so I will be there for that.

I think me and the boys are going to head there as well 

You're only now realizing this?  It's been pretty obvious since Mangini got the gig.  And it wouldn't have mattered if a different drummer won the "audition".  It would have been the same case.

Honestly, no I didn't. I wasn't interacting with the fan base much at the time so I missed most of the Facebook and forum commentaries. I know he has an enormous following but probably underestimated it because he's the drummer! Usually it's the singer or guitarist who can command that amount of loyalty.

And agreed, none of the other drummers would have survived the inevitable sway of the tide because at the end of the day I don't think this has anything to do with job performance. Realistically there was nothing anyone could have done to fend off MP's return.
