I'm thinkin about starting a new thread to discuss whether this thread should be here or not. Seriously if you are not a mod why the eff do you care? lol crazy
I think it's because some/most non-moderator members here actually care about the community.
Also, MP - appreciated. The man did a lot for the band, that much can be said, and I'm sure for many, his presence will be missed and his absence will be felt/heard in the coming months even more so. I'll admit, I haven't listened to much DT in the past couple months, but once this whole thing blows over, they'll probably get rotated back into my listening queue.

Caring about the community? It's a harmless thread I don't get what that has to do with it. Just comes off strange and kinda creepy. No big deal though easy to move past.
Anyways I definately appreciate MP. He has dont alot for the band and the fans. It's too bad it went down this way but hopefully in the future things will calm down and they can communicate again. Not saying he should come back ever but some special shows or whatever down the line would rock!
Eh, what I meant was more along the lines of that members like to see things kept neat-and-clean here, where proper topics of discussion can be kept to certain forums and threads that are dedicated to those topics. It just happens a lot when "news" surrounding DT and it's current/past members comes up - there are several threads about the same thing, or nearly the same thing.
I do agree, though, that this is a thread worthy of it's own discussion as it deviates from the GMD thread by focusing on MP's career in DT and not outside of it, so
for that!
I wish I had more to add to this other than the normal "MP's drumming rocks!" or "MP's lyrics are great" or things like that, but I just haven't been into DT lately. However, months ago, I was working on a project/compilation of DT songs with lyrics by MP (as well as some DT instrumentals to fill it out). It was going to be set-up as a setlist and some songs would've been cross-faded with others...
10:15 - "The Mirror" (Demo Version)
11:36 - "Raise The Knife"
6:46 - "Never Enough" ->
8:56 - "Overture 1928/Strange Deja Vu"
5:28 - "Just Let Me Breathe"
6:55 - "Constant Motion"
10:14 - "Honor Thy Father"
8:20 - "New Millennium"
13:03 - "Home"
5:43 - "Ytse Jam"
9:45 - "Burning My Soul/Hell's Kitchen" ->
11:56 - "Finally Free" -> (Static Sounds)
55:51 - "The Twelve Step Suite"
5:53 - "I. Reflection"
3:48 - "II. Restoration"
4:07 - "III. Revelation"
6:37 - "IV. Reflections Of Reality (Revisited)"
4:45 - "V. Release"
2:41 - "VI. Ready"
4:27 - "VII. Remove"
5:44 - "VIII. Regret"
4:57 - "IX. Restitution"
5:27 - "X. Restraint"
3:56 - "XI. Receive"
3:29 - "XII. Responsible"
5:11 - "Eve"
13:07 - "The Best of Times"
23:06 - "A Change of Seasons"
I was also thinking of tossing in "Chris & Kevin's Excellent Adventure" for a bit of fun, but I couldn't figure out where.
It would've been cool to see a setlist like this some day. Looking at this list, it's great to see how many AWESOME DT songs have MP's lyrics in them, and many of these songs showcase some of his best drumming as well!
