Heh, you know JP, MP, and Kip Winger would be an awesome power trio.

Well, at least with Kip they'd have a great songwriter among the three of them.  :o

My math was off.  I was at only seventeen.

Trying to come up with a witty response that incorporates the songs Blind Revolution Mad, Who's the One and a host of other incredible tunes, but alas, cheeky humor is not my forte.  :lol

From MP's FB post:

This pic deserves its own post as it’s so cool, random and unexpected…pretty crazy to be in the artist pit at Rock in Rio watching Iron Maiden and looking over my shoulder to see Post Malone rocking out next to me! I always figured he was a cool dude when I saw his knuckle tats paying tribute to misc dead rockers (Dimebag, Cobain, Lennon, Harrison, SRV, etc)

From Wikipedia:

Quote
Austin Richard Post (born July 4, 1995), known professionally as Post Malone, is an American musician, rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Known for his variegated vocals, Malone has gained acclaim for blending genres and subgenres of hip hop, pop, R&B, and trap. His stage name was derived from inputting his birth name into a rap name generator.

He's a fairly popular/well-known musical artist, but I don't expect rockers/proggers/older music fans to know him or his work. I only know about him from younger friends and things I've seen online about him.

While I'm sure you'll disagree he actually has some pretty solid songs, one of the bigger hits:

He's an odd duck. He does the hip hop whatever stuff, but didn't he also do a live stream of him covering an entire Nirvana album or something?

There's a song on the last Ozzy album with him.  The rap you can have, but the dude has some rock talent.

For what is worth, I believe Post Malone was in a metal/rock band before switching to hip hop.

Talented dude, I just don't personally care for his music.

Post Malone is massive, as in number 1 pop hits world wide massive.

There is one song of his I really enjoy, but overall it's not for me. Seems like a chill dude though. Over the years he has appeared as a guest in many youtube vids I watched.

And his quarantine Nirvana set was great.

I read on Blabbermouth this morning a transcription of some comments JLB made about he and MP moving forward. SO nice to see. What's happening is exactly what I had hoped. The two took the bullshit from the past, and got past it. I'm not saying that a DT reunion with MP is coming. I don't believe that will happen unless MM decides he doesn't want to be in the band. They all love Mangini and he's been great with DT. But it is so nice to see the love.

I don’t think MP would ever become the full time drummer again, not sure he would even if MM up and quiet tomorrow. But it feels like relationships with the band are such that if, say, they wanted to do a an especially special concert for the 40th anniversary of DT in 2025, I could see MP being asked to perform a few songs with the band. Maybe even have a 2-drummer set up with a dueling drum solo or something.

Is this the "quiet quitting" I keep hearing about in the news/media?  :lol

But yes, I agree, if they plan a special anniversary concert in a couple of years, I'm sure MP would be more than willing to play a song or two, or even a full show. It would be an insanely awesome set to see both Mikes up on stage jamming out together! I'd love to see them play "Metropolis" and "A Change Of Seasons" together, if only because then they could cover the over-dubbed drum parts on both songs live!

He was quoting another prog website’s FB post about the anniversary of SFAM and they mentioned that the album had grown out of the demos done during the FII sessions.

He definitely should’ve been compensated but that seems like a 1999/2000 discussion rather than a 2022 Facebook post. This guy must enjoy burning bridges

Two things:

1. Are we sure that's actually DS behind that post? I thought artists usually get a blue checkmark on facebook (like MP has)

2. He's not wrong. I was very surprised hearing the original demo for Met Pt 2 on the FII demos, as a LOT of the keyboard stuff on the final album was ripped right from it, including solos.
I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.
WELP.

That does appear to be Derek’s official page, though he doesn't have a blue checkmark. I suspect it could be a bit tongue in cheek, or at least I can sort of see Derek doing that as a joke.

I'm pretty sure they have each others' numbers at this point.  I'm not reading a bunch into a couple quick Facechat posts.   (Though "#screwjob" is funny.). Oh, and just because it was played in a similar or even the same way on the FII demos doesn't mean Derek WROTE it, even if it was a "jam".

I'm not a fan of DS, but if that's all true then he does deserve his credit.  But coming to facebook with this at this time just seems odd to me.

I'm with you if it's true; a lot of bands go back and retroactive things to be right; most of the songs from the first Marillion album - originally credited to Dick/Kelly/Pointer/Rothery/Trewavas now have Brian Jelliman and/or Diz Minnitt (early keyboard and bass players) credited. It's a similar situation, just with the first album, not one later in their career.

Why Derek decided to post is beyond me - he seems to still be salty over something that happened over 20 years ago. But I think it's a pretty safe bet that he was paid off for his contributions when they severed ties with him in 1999. If not, then you can be sure there would've been a lawsuit over this which would have been made public at some point before now. Even when they parted, in interviews of that time, Derek wasn't antagonistic - had he been screwed over, it would've come out then, not now.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.
