Update from JR on his facebook (merged)
« on: January 18, 2011, 07:19:57 AM »
The Namm show was wild and crazy to say the least! I was very proud to introduce the Korg Kronos! Now I am back in NY and came directly to the studio with Dream Theater. The riffs are flying!! And never a dull moment.. On Sunday the 23rd I will be playing live in Tarrytown NY. I will be joined by James Labrie, Eren Bas...bug and the RnL project. Come to the show

I wonder if he is going to add the Kronos to his live equipment. It really is a damn fine sounding keyboard, after all.
... And you ask me: "Where's my hairspray?"

I know Kronos is a term for a mythical god but my Syfy nerd in me would love a Klingon tie-in on the new keyboard.  That would be too funny. :lol

Except that's spelled Qo'noS...just sayin  :lol

But yes, it'll be interesting to hear JR include all these instruments in the next album, and eventually see him use them on the tour!

Yes yes, I know! I just wanted to bring out the Trek in me!

Either way, hearing some Klingon battle music would be pretty EPIC on the next album.

jhonny108 posted what JLB said on twitter. I think he is in the studio.


EDIT: I guess someone else already answered this.

Surely if you're jamming on ideas you would want a drummer there?

If you make it FFS come back and tell us who the drummer is.

Someone tweet CJS, JR, and JP and ask if the mysterious new drummer is there with them NOW!

They can surely say yes or no, right?  That doesnt break any contractual agreements.

If they say yes, we can speculate like crazy.

If they say no, we can speculate like crazy.

Do It.

Great!  We sit back now and wait for someone to set off the trap!

Plus, we know from JR that they are in New York for sure too.

Maybe tweet at Mangini, Lang, and Minneman and ask "where are you right now?"

Pull a jedi mind trick on them to see who will admit they are in New York.  We must employ some super sleuth skills in order to break the DT-vinci code.

Well Mangini is currently recording with another band, not sure about Lang or Minnemann but will have a look.
