I have officially given up caring when the announcement will be. Didn't think that would happen a couple of months ago but you can keep people hanging too long and they have certainly done that.

hm. well you say you dont care,

yet you logged on to a dt forum and posted in a thread regarding the new drummer situation saying you don't care.

i politely disagree about your not caring. cuz if you didnt', you wouldnt be looking at this thread.

He probably doesn't care about your disagreeing, either.

On a related note, I don't even care whether I myself care. That's how frustrated I am about the whole situation

First time I have checked the thread in a month. That's how little I currently care.

redfish71 · « **Reply #4587 on:** April 16, 2011, 07:02:26 AM »

had to join just to be a part of this thread. i can die peacefully now.

first post. dont know or care who the new drummer is gonna be, but i'd bet the next album is going to be killer.

Don't want the drummer announced without being in on this thread.

I wasn't very familiar with mangini but have checked several videos over the past 6 months. The one thing I've found is that his cymbal work doesn't seem that strong. If this is true segments like the instrrumental section in Nee Millenium are going to make me miss MP a lot.

miss who?

ok guys have we realized that even though they havent make any official statements, we are really close to the first tour date? so logically it not gonna take more than 2 months more! otherwise it will be reallllly stupid been on tour with buckethead on drumms!

I was here anyway, and that's when I realised that I got waiting fatigue. That's a totally unrelated thing to reading what other people are saying about things.
I was checking this thread every day a while back- now weeks go by.
And hef, you're right! Even though I replied to the challenge...

I haven't cared in a while. I'm sorry but I think DT is doing themselves a disservice by not giving the fans much to chew on. As far as I can see, on this particular forum at least, interest in DT is the lowest it's been in a while

I don't think it's DT holding up the announcement and the as soon as it is announced this place will be buzzing.

dongringo · « **Reply #4594 on:** April 16, 2011, 03:16:58 PM »

We get a new album soon. This is the best news that we could possibly get. There's nothing better than that, not even knowing who the drummer is...cough...Mike Mangini...

Super Dude · « **Reply #4595 on:** April 16, 2011, 03:22:32 PM »

I gotta be honest, my own interest in DT has been higher than it has since the last album release, but all this dragging out has sucked me dry some.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #4597 on:** April 16, 2011, 06:24:48 PM »

I wonder, if it had been announced in January, how things would be around here, how people would be feeling...maybe the announcement of the drummer closer to the details of the album is seen as good by RR so people don't dismiss the album before it was even recorded? Who knows

YtseJam · « **Reply #4598 on:** April 17, 2011, 07:20:22 AM »

I think it's pretty obvious people are getting aggrivated with them. The last big news was MP split and they shut the door behind him. DT is nothing without it's fans and I think it's pretty obvious people want to know. Give your fans something to talk about since everyone is done speculating at this point.

they haven't really "dragged out anything". it's honestly been more of a legal delay. it's not like they are doing thing on purpose, you know?

and yah, i kinda agree this is seriously taking too long.

PlaysLikeMyung · « **Reply #4600 on:** April 17, 2011, 08:27:23 AM »

Well, my thought is, in the meantime they could give at least the US fans some sort of promise of tour dates or something. We know they're playing Europe. But what about us? We have nothing to look forward to except an album that's coming out sometime in the future. This is why I've lost interest in the band. I don't feel I have much to look forward to

rumborak · « **Reply #4601 on:** April 17, 2011, 08:31:08 AM »

Legal difficulties might have been the reason in the beginning. At this point I'm pretty sure this is intentional. Maybe they thought they could carry over the impact of the announcement to create a bigger bang for the album release.
Either way, it's way too long.

Yeah man, I totally feel the same way. I bet they'll never play in North America again. And about that "album that's coming out sometime in the future"? That's probably a fake anyway. Nothing to look forward to in DT land. I've lost interest in the band and thrown away all of their CDs too, for good measure.

rumborak · « **Reply #4603 on:** April 17, 2011, 08:41:49 AM »

Not everybody has that undying support built in, lithium. About a week ago we hit the 7 month mark since MP's departure. I seriously wonder what they will have racked it up to by the time the news comes out.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #4604 on:** April 17, 2011, 08:44:02 AM »

Well, we are halfway through April, and their concerts start in June, I think. So not much longer.

not much =/= nothing

I'm interested in the songs they'll be playing live, but nothing more, really.

Oh, and I listen to a bunch of other bands. Excuse me if I don't listen to DT 24/7

Yeah, you know, I've felt this way about a lot of bands. The US fans, for some reason, just seem to get shafted by metal bands. But Dream Theater aren't as bad as others, who just take off straight for Europe without paying any respect for their US fans.

Regarding "not much =/= nothing", the third-last sentence you wrote "we have nothing to look forward to" and in your last sentence, you wrote that you don't "have much to look forward to"...

And in no way did I suggest that you should only listen to DT. I listen to lots of other bands as well. I'm not sure where you got that from.

I'm just saying that it's kind of silly to say that we have either "nothing" or "not much" to look forward to when we clearly know it's coming. Are they going to play in North America again? Definitely. Are they going to release a new CD? Yes. Are they going to reveal the new drummer at some point? Well.. probably. lol

Yeah in fairness Will, you were being pretty ridiculous. So NA tour dates haven't been announced, but I'm not sure why that's a problem, as though DT aren't going to be playing there again? We know there's a new album (which JR, JLB and JP have been updating us on the progress of) and we know that they are playing live shows soon. So at the very least you have the album to look forward to, and almost certainly some shows as well.
