Title: LTE 3??? I am confused
Post by: bill1971 on September 11, 2019, 04:55:44 PM
So I saw this post on Twitter. Is this true at all? Also I would think it would be MP and not MM. has anyone heard about this?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I have no idea. I was searching for Mike Mangini and that came up.

Seems pretty obviously to be nonsense for a bunch of reasons, including, but not limited to, the mention of MM rather than MP.

Yeah, no offense, but why would you put any stock at all in something that some guy, who you have never even heard of and doesn't have a verified account, says on Twitter? Anyone can open a Twitter account and tweet whatever they want.

No offense taken it's a very fair question. It just seems so innocuous and not trying to get attention that it seemed like a leak someone put by mistake.
Since I really had no other way to verify I trust you guys so I figure I bring it here

Who is Alan Harrington?

Apparently he's a sci fi author who is almost 90 years old... weird.

I wish this were true.  That would be the most awesome news since DT's last album was announced.

Different person. This guy is probably around 50 based on his pictures. He has a pictured with JP on his Twitter.

Yeah, I know.  But the sci fi author was the only person that showed up using a google search of his name.  So I thought maybe this guy was a fan of the author and used his name.

If MP didn't post it, that's verification enough that it isn't true.  Especially if MM was mentioned.  Not sure where the confusion comes from.

"Alan Charles Harrington (born 17 November 1933) is a Welsh former professional footballer and Wales international.  Harrington played his entire professional career at Cardiff City where he is regarded as one of the club's all-time greats." (I assume there's a typo in that first sentence)

Also on that page

He was forced to retire from playing after suffering a second broken leg during a 1-1 against Leyton Orient in January 1966. In later years, Harrington managed Barry Town, steering them to the Welsh Football League championship in 1982-83.

In November 2007 he was awarded an FAW merit award.[2]

Mike Portnoy rejoins a project he created and he has to share the drum stool with the guy that replaced him in DT? no way in prog hell.

Bill Bruford and Alan White shared the stage on the Union tour.

Portnoy's ego is way too big to handle having to share the stage with another drummer, especially (as has already been said) the guy who replaced him in DT.
Title: Re: LTE 3??? I am confused
Post by: 425 on September 13, 2019, 01:32:20 PM
I've got to say, as a general thing, I personally think it's unlikely that there will ever be another LTE album. That project is pretty ancient now, MP is extremely busy, there doesn't seem to be an abundance of interest from JP and JR, and Tony Levin is 73 now. I don't really see any reason to expect anything to happen on that front.

This guy write for Alternative Nation?


For those keeping score, the record label did release "Liquid Trio Experiment" against the band's wishes when John became a dad.  But I kind of consider that one more 2.5 than 3.

You imagine so, but I hope they are such strong human beings that something like this won't affect them for the rest of their lives. MP put DT together but that didn't stop them moving on without him in that band.

In that case MP wanted to move on. In this case, LTE case, we haven't heard ANYTHING similar, in fact, we DO have heard him (MP) said that he would be up for a new LTE.

JP said he has material for another solo album but no time to do it. I am sure they might want to team up for another LTE album and/or shows, but finding the time for it might be the issue.

"I don't have the time for it" simply means he has other things that are more important to him.  If JP wants to do another solo or LTE album, he certainly has the ability to put DT on hold for the few months it would take to do those things (once DT's current touring obligations are done).

Adding to the time frame of LTE3 happening, I'm pretty sure after the European leg in Jan-Feb 2020, an Asian leg is going to follow. So at the earliest, it looks like it's probably mid-2020 when they can get together and write/record new material or tour.

Do you think there's any chance for it to happen even though there's no news? It seems that the only uninterested party is Levin, and I love him, but the appeal of LTE is in seeing MP, JR and JP together. They're all pressed for time, sure, but I figure it's going to happen in the next five years.
