So, I was just reading the forum over at JP.com and one of the posters over there, MADSMAN, who has been a regular for years, ran into Jordan at NAMM and he posted a conversation he had with Jordan:
Me: "how much alcohol do we have to get you to drink, before you will tell us who the new drummer is."
Jordan, with a totally straight face: "There is no amount of alcohol. You can not get me to tell."
Me: "How about I start naming drummers, and see if you give up any tells?"
Jordan, stone face "You will never be able to read me. I will deny any drummer."
Me: "Marco Minnemann."
Jordan, no change in expression: "I love Marco Minnemann. He is not the drummer."
Me: "I know it's not Virgil."
Jordan: "It is not Virgil."
Me: "Mike Mangini."
Jordan: "It is not Mike Mangini."Me: "This isn't working. Enjoy your evening."
I have been reading JP's forum for over a decade and Madsman is a regular clinician at Paul Warren's (JP's webmaster) music school in North (or South?) Carolina. When he says he ran into Jordan, he's telling the truth. Which means "dreamsforever," as I knew 100%, was full of shit.
