[jdprsaga]

I'm sorry man 

[JayOctavarium]

cuz its NOT like i have been checking every half hour or so for an announcement since portnoy left....


























ok yes i have

[pain of occupation]

when a band like that hires a session drummer like marco, do they want him to go all out?! who will they ever find to replicate his parts in the future?!!

Is "a band like that" referring to Dream Theater or to that other random prog band? Because, as we have discussed ad nauseum, Dream Theater's new drummer will not be a session drummer/hired gun.

ya, i was referring to the other random band. i s'pose that's not what the thread is for, but...

it just got me thinking.


....and then i got sidetracked reading indisciple's thread and throwing on images & words

Every time I glance at Mike Mangini, I think I see Man-gina.
Which, I'm sure no one has made that joke before. Noone. Ever.

You're thinking of Eric Mangini!

Thanks a lot. Now I'll always think of that whenever I see his name.

Mike Mangini's website update is very weird, it kind of rules him out in a way

He has always had the website like that. Even the previous version was weird, well not weird, but more like structured "different" than other websites.

maybe the revamp has to do with the DT gig if he got it.I'm pretty sure a lot of people will visit his website to learn about him. Maybe he is trying to do it ASAP and more presentable if he got the DT gig (adding vids, pics, setups, endorsements, discography, etc...).

[SystematicThought]

No no, not the site itself, the update he put on there. Where he said he is working on electronic drums and some studio work

[ddtonfire]

I bet the new DT album will good, but not as good as if _____________ were the drummer.

[goo-goo]

No no, not the site itself, the update he put on there. Where he said he is working on electronic drums and some studio work

ah..ooops...my bad.

yeah, especially the electronic drums thing...

[Perpetual Change]

No no, not the site itself, the update he put on there. Where he said he is working on electronic drums and some studio work

It has no bearing whatsoever. I'm sure he'd have plenty of time to do all that stuff in several months that will inevitably pass between him recording the album and the album being released. Remember, DT went in the studio for Black Clouds in October 2008 and that record didn't come out until July 2009. How long were the band actually writing and recording? I highly doubt longer than a month or so.

LaBrie seemed to think it would take two or three in that radio interview a few days ago.

[LTE777]

wat.
is going on?

I was just going to ask this

Did anyone actually work out what happened on page 49 and where that large 'quote' came from and what the 'hidden message' was?

[wkiml]

no but if Bosk doesn't come clean I going to California and checking every office (near the River) until I find him and choke it out of him

[Mladen]

I certainly didn't, I wonder if anyone did. It obviously didn't tell us who the new drummer is, though...

[Pierced Brosnan]

I got it, look at the first letter of every sentence then put them together.
Damn you bosk! 

[Raziel666]

I got it, look at the first letter of every sentence then put them together.
Damn you bosk! 

If anyones bored going 2-3 pages back, it says:

Aquiles Priester is not the new drummer

Nice!

[phentalmyst]

def longer than a month. they started in oct and didnt finish until around march or so.

[ReaperKK]

how long should a broken foot heals?

I'm thinking it may be Lang, he might of gotten the broken foot and the rest of DT will start writing, he'll join when he is ready.

Didn't finish the mastering and such maybe, but I'm sure the majority of the band's work was done well before march.

I am completely amazed the new drummer hasn't leaked yet. By this point I'm sure at least 100 people know.
