There, if you still think Aquiles Priester is impressive after this, then you are hopeless.
I imagined the story to go more like this.

I was sitting a traffic light blaring Space Dye Vest and next to me in another car was Kevin Moore. And I'll never be open again.

Getting tired of this. How many times haven't they said "we will announce the drummer soon enough"...I don't think anyone thought about waiting 3 months the first time JLB said that. After a while, I became very stoked about getting the news. But now, as many of you I don't really care. (YES I DO, THAT'S WHY I CHECK THIS FORUM 5 TIMES A DAY) Anyways, if they come up with some unknown drummer wich I absolutely don't like im gonna get crazy. Though i know DT know what they're doing. They haven't said anything new lately either, so I wouldn't be shocked if we had to wait a couple of months more.

Fair enough.

Anyone else? lol

JR:

The Namm show was wild and crazy to say the least! I was very proud to introduce the Korg Kronos! Now I am back in NY and came directly to the studio with Dream Theater. The riffs are flying!! And never a dull moment.. On Sunday the 23rd I will be playing live in Tarrytown NY. I will be joined by James Labrie, Eren Basbug and the RnL project. Come to the show! www.tarrytownmusichall.org

I've had this experience too. I just came back from my trip home to the US. So many people trying to sell me cheap shit made in China-- I'd completely forgotten! I couldn't even buy a videogame without the salesman asking if I wanted insurance on it.

Then I went to buy a movie, and the dude at the counter insisted I pre-order something. When I said 'no' he went on to mention that I could pre-order movies that aren't even out in theaters yet. It was awesome.

Those videos of Lang are why I want him in DT over Mangini. Although he's showing his skills it still sounds like he's playing "the song". In Mangini's vids the song is a distant relative to what he's playing.

From Mike Mangini's website :

JAN 13: In the Midst of recording tracks for Groove Rock band Graphite at their studio in N. Mass.

JAN 10: More shipments of E Pro coming and I will be revamping my home studio; a LOT of work to do. Ugh.
Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.

Wha?

So either 1) he's not the drummer, or 2) he's not allowed to be a part of the writing process, and will only come in the studio to lay drum tracks at the very end.
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A. G. Sertillanges

Me and another poster (can't remember who) were making this joke a few weeks ago.  Is it true the new drummer was released from a Scottish prison too early?  Can he really punch a horse to the ground?  Does he really listen to vuvuzelas when driving fast cars?  How many wrong facts does he know about ducks?

Some say that he's made entirely out of marzipan... and that his only weakness is a crippling allergy to the colour blue.

All we know is that he's called David Weckl.
