Quote from: MykeHavoc on September 08, 2010, 11:52:16 PMJordan's twitter posts seem rather positive. The band is planning to start the new album in January.Good to hear. Honestly, I think we all know that Petrucci and Rudess have been the main creative forces for years already (with Portnoy being more like a conductor, saying, "Let's do a heavy song here," or, "Let's do an epic song here"), so, while the drumming will be different, regardless of who it comes from, musically they should be fine. I like where they went on BC&SL, and no more Portnoy probably means no more attempt at certain kinds of metal (which is fine with me), not to mention no more Portnoy vocals, so color me excited about the band's future. Portnoy will be missed, but I think his personality had almost taken over the band a bit too much, and the others probably feel a bit liberated now, being able to now continue on with the band without him ruling over them with his iron fist (which I mean in a nice way). Ya know? Not true dude, Mike and John have been the main creative writing team, especially since 6DOIT.

Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?
This will all blow over once the dust settles. MP will finish his tour with A7X. He’ll do some soul searching during the Holidays with his family. He’ll realize that the dedication to his DT fans was his passion and to turn around and abandon them just isn’t the right thing to do for himself, his fellow DT members, and most of all the dedicated fans that helped them achieve the status that we’ve all come to know and appreciate over the years.On a similar note, the remaining members will also come to the realization that they’ve been down this road before, several times. Maybe not the exact circumstances, but similar crossroads nonetheless. I’m not sure that DT can find an adequate replacement for MP in time to start recording in Jan-11. It’s simply just not enough time. Remember, it took 18 months for them to find the right singer in LaBrie. I don’t think finding a replacement drummer would easier by any means. I believe all members (including MP) will let the rest of 2010 play itself out and re-evaluate the situation in the New Year.I firmly believe that one of two scenarios will take place next year. 1) MP will be back in the studio with DT in Jan-11 as he realizes that DT is closer to his heart than anything else could possibly be. 2) DT will only be in hiatus for 6 months or possibly most of next year working on material in the meantime. Either way, MP will eventually end up back with DT within the next 12 months. We all know that DT has taken short breaks before. Maybe they need a longer break this time and it definitely couldn’t hurt.Honestly, I don’t see them getting another drummer and running straight into the studio in January. It’s too soon.Quite frankly, none of this really makes too much sense right now. Some decisions were probably made too quickly and in the heat of argument. In time, things will settle down and everyone will get the break they need and come back together when the time is right.

Portnoy is gone, and he's not coming back.
