Part 2 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4nSJ5KRBkFg&feature=youtu.be

For those who don't have time to sit through 12 minutes, the most interesting parts of this interview is that "At Wit's End" was the first song they wrote, and at that point they did not know the track order, but did know for sure what the closer would be.

Usually when DT do a part 1, part 2 is something to look forward to.

So At Wit's End is the song 10?

So At Wit's End is the song 10?
No, I named two separate things:
1. At Wit's End was the first thing they wrote
2. Among the songs they had written, they don't know how they will order the songs, but they know what the closer will be
-
At wit's end
(at wit's end)
We pick up all the pieces
And learn to love again

I think it will be the opener the way they talked about it. Just a guess though.

Yeah it makes sense, as it's the first fresh thing they came up with.
Keep in mind though that In the Name of God was the first song they wrote for Train of Thought

It's okay, it's my fault! That sentence was a little ambiguous and could've been interpreted wrong
-

He probably doesn't feel the need to say much since everyone else is so quick to chime in. Jordan and John P seem to do most of the talking. Cool interview though!

All killer, no filler.

The album is currently being mastered. Is that what I heard? Does that mean it will be a while before a single is ready?

Mastering shouldn't take too long, but I think it's more likely we'll have the single next month.

I'm almost sure that At Wit's End is the song 10 😁 From RollingStone: "and the scrambling, hot-wire instrumental interplay that peppers At Wit's End."

The interview released today confirmed that At Wit's End was the first song written, so Song 10 wouldn't make sense.
Plus, hot-wire instrumental interplay can describe maybe 90% of all of DT's songs

Petrucci even called it "Song 1" on the video.

Perhaps it will be the song 10 on the record even if it was written first ;)

I'd consider it, but the Song 10 video was clearly labeled "Writing Sessions"

You are right :facepalm:

The '18 days of writing' makes me wonder: did they write everyday, including weekends, from June 11 to June 28 (the day of the Facebook Q&A? Or did they skip weekends and a few other days, until July 10 (the date of the burgers video/pic announcing the end of writing)?
-
I assume that they were the days of actual writing, not including therefore weekends, days off, and time spent on burgers.

I could be wrong, but I thought I heard/read somewhere that they still were going home on weekends. So I would guess July 10.

Forgive me if it's been answered, but does anyone know who the interviewer is and what is his relationship to the band?
I'm really looking forward to this album and hoping it brings me back closer to the band as I've drifted away with the last few albums.
-
That's Roie Avin, who runs the excellent Prog Report site with connected podcast, and who wrote this great book about modern prog: https://progreport.com/product/essential-modern-progressive-rock-albums/. He is also a frequent contributer to the Prog magazine, and works with InsideOut a lot.

I believe he is John Petrucci's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

Part 3

Great videos and questions.
Is it me or does mike look like Danny DaVito with a wig sitting in that chair?
-
Is it me or does mike look like Danny DaVito with a wig sitting in that chair?
Well, I can tell you from experience that he's pretty short. So yeah.

Yeah, he's about a couple inches taller than me. Or maybe one, haha. I'm pretty short as well.
-
I thought very seriously about just putting him in my pocket and taking him home with me.
-
Mangini seems happier than I last saw him in an interview, hopefully his writing on this album made him feel more fulfilled and more integral to the band. Cause I really want him to stay with DT.
-
Yeah Mike is fairly short. I was actually quite surprised that Jordan is on the short side as well when I met them - I always pictured him as quite tall for some reason.
-
They are all quite short. I was like 10cm taller than anybody of the band!
-
Agreed, I am 180cm, which is just below average and I always though that JLB is a tall guy, but he's actually shorter than me when I met him. I'm actually taller than all of DT...
James was also a very nice and cool guy. (not that this has anything to do with the topic but I wanted to add it)

That might be average to you, but here you’d be considered a very tall guy :lol
-
Yeah I wouldn't consider 180 cm to be below average :lol
-
Yeah. Average in Brazil is about 175cm. I am 170cm :p
-
Yeah I wouldn't consider 180 cm to be below average :lol
Wikipedia says 180 is above average everywhere but ex-Viking areas, parts of the Baltics, parts of the Balkan peninsula and a few Germanic countries, and when you consider that men like to lie about their height and always add a few cm, that's not average at all :biggrin:
-
Okay sorry I didn't mean to start this conversation, I'm German and most of my friends are taller than me :D

Unless I'm doing the conversion wrong, 180 cm is slightly less than 5 feet 11 inches. Where the heck is 5' 11" "below average"?!
-
The Netherlands and Germany.. They are so ridiculously tall.
-
Just for reference, I am 6'2, or 188cm. I Honestly thought JLB and JP were taller before meeting them.

-
Just googled, average height for men in Germany is 178 cm. So I’m not below average, I’m slightly above ;)
-
Who is the guy conducting the interview?
-
Still Roie Avin...
-
How about now? Who's conducting the interview now?
:biggrin:
-
Why is it always Roie? Can't someone else have a turn?

For guys that are so technically savvy and intense about their gear and their craft, their videos really seem to be produced by noobs, and it's always been this way.
They try, sure, but when I look back there always seems to be issues, even with major releases like home videos (SFaM layer-switch glitch) and CDs (JP's "Curve" track splite) or just general delays in production due to "issues" (Luna Park), but it's definitely whenever they try and do web-ish videos that they blow it.
The audio is usually bad and I most point to that whole thing that JP and JR did about writing parts of The Astonishing where they sound like they're doing the videos in a bathtub.

His first name is Still?

Agreed... why not producing and cutting the interviews like they did the interviews in the drummers documentation? The black/white ones? Those looked cool. I bet a thumbnail with an image like that would be clicked on more on YouTube, compared to a video of the whole band filmed in front of windows (who films towards light anyway???). AND we could hear those 6 words JMX said! ;)

Cool interview. There is a comment to part 1 comparing John Myung to Hector Salamanca. So fucking funny I nearly rolled off the couch laughing.
