Saw the Mangini post. Realized that if cancelling all his classes wasn't for something DT related, then it would be this. Plus, I remember (Nakedman?) saying that he would get "mad" when people asked him about DT. Someone who got the job wouldn't be mad, would they?

So basically, YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES OH GOD LET IT BE MARCO PLEASE!

Depends. If he's the noobie in the band, he certainly doesn't want to get off on a bad foot. And if information is supposed to remain secret until an official announcement, I wouldn't be surprised if he freaked out every time someone asked him about it because he wouldn't want to even be perceived as a potential source if something leaked.

He could at least say "I'm not the new DT drummer."

It's likely that DT made anyone who auditioned keep their mouth shut about whether they were chosen or not.

This is the most intriguing part of this. Perhaps they had to sign something in order to audition.

I think it's Marco. Though I'll keep my original vote for Thomas Lang.

It doesn't rule Mangini out at all, but I certainly makes things less concrete than it seemed a couple of weeks ago.

Problem is, there's been something like that for ALL the speculated drummers.

Its quite fascinating actually how all these drummers seem to fit. Watch it be someone completely random though.

Or maybe my theory of the 3 top runners being melded together is going to happen.

On purpose? Could be fun, I can't see DT doing that, but it almost seems so.

Well, this is certainly interesting. Posted earlier today:

Quote

A new day is about to dawn for progressive metal kings, Dream Theater. Questions have abounded recently about who will replace Mike Portnoy on drums. Under normal circumstances, hiring a replacement drummer would not create such a buzz.
In Dream Theater’s case, however, nothing is ever conventional. Let’s not forget that this is the band that breathed new life into progressive music. Even stalwarts like Yes and Rush seemed to be losing steam in the 1990’s. Suffice it to say, without Dream Theater’s influence, the genre would be on life support.

Perhaps, then, it should come as no surprise that little in Dream Theater world is “typical.” Reports are that Portnoy initially recommended the band go on indefinite hiatus. Instead, the band gave Portnoy an unexpected ultimatum: Either enter the studio in January 2011 as planned, or relinquish the drum throne. Stepping down as Dream Theater’s drummer was not something Portnoy had previously contemplated. This was a band he founded and had been with for the past twenty-five years. Essentially, the band did not want to lose any momentum by delaying their next album. Reluctantly, Portnoy decided to step aside.

Initial fan reaction to the announcement was mixed; some were angry, and some excited. Speculation about who will replace Portnoy’s is the new topic of the day.

Not one to stand idle, Portnoy has booked two projects with Neal Morse for 2011. On top of that, he also finished a tour with Avenged Sevenfold as interim drummer after the passing of Jimmy "Rev" Sullivan. To date, Portnoy has not revealed any long-term plans.

Twitter, fan Internet forums, and sites like Blabbermouth have fueled fan speculation. However, the band has not yet made its final announcement about Portnoy’s successor. Ending the rumors evidently took a backseat to working out other issues.

None of the band members have leaked the information--Except to say that auditions have been held, and the decision has been made.
When the announcement would come, fans could only guess...until now.

Dream Theater recently informed sources that the announcement is imminent. Ready or not, fans will know the identity of the man on the throne before long. Under the circumstances, the announcement will come none too soon for most. Many, many names of potential candidates have been tossed around the rumor mill: Minnemann, Mangini, Lang, Donati, and even Lars Ulrich have been rumored by fans.
Everyone will no doubt be scouring the Internet for the news over the next few days. Read who the new drummer is right here--very, VERY soon.

It's a bit cryptic, but if you read carefully, I think I know what the guy is hinting at.

EDIT: Sorry about the weird formatting. That's how it copied from the site and I can't be bothered to fix it.

Is it possible that JP tipped the identity of the drummer with his "paciencia y fe" at the end of his Twitter update? I don't know whether Minneman is Spanish/Portuguese or not (possibly Italian? I can't remember right now). If this has already been discussed, sorry I didn't read enough of the thread to find it...

TAC · « **Reply #1714 on:** January 05, 2011, 04:00:17 PM »

Minnemann is German I believe.
