I've asked myself this question and thought I throw it out here as a good starting post on these here forums.

bosk1 · « **Reply #1 on:** March 21, 2011, 07:14:00 PM »

Why not? I can't really imagine why anyone would vote "no."

Accepting? Yes. Disappointed? Maybe.

emindead · « **Reply #6 on:** March 21, 2011, 07:28:03 PM »

accepting of?

Super Dude · « **Reply #7 on:** March 21, 2011, 07:32:12 PM »

Accepting? Hell, I know I speak for at least one other person here when I say I welcome him/her.

Do you hate Innocence Faded?

ricky · « **Reply #9 on:** March 21, 2011, 07:48:15 PM »

it's not as obvious though.

Chino · « **Reply #10 on:** March 21, 2011, 08:07:55 PM »

Who voted no?? Is MP lurking the boards?

Implode · « **Reply #11 on:** March 21, 2011, 08:16:41 PM »

How many people will vote "yes", then when the drummer is finally announced will rage?

dongringo · « **Reply #12 on:** March 21, 2011, 08:50:36 PM »

I vote yes...and there will be no reason to rage.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #13 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:05:43 PM »

THAT'S ENOUGH!

I will not accept anyone who is not Mike Portnoy!

zxlkho · « **Reply #14 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:05:49 PM »

Nope. I hate that guy.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #15 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:08:22 PM »

As long as he doesn't try to sing I'd venture to say I'm more along the lines of excited.
That'd be a real step up.

SeventhSon · « **Reply #16 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:15:19 PM »

I'm sure the new drummer will be great. I can't imagine the DT guys being the types to take this kind of a decision lightly. Considering the discussion and debate that goes into their musical compositions, surely their choice a new drummer is going to be the right choice for everyone involved.

Of course, since the new album will be epic.

Unconditionally.

As long as they don't suck.

blackngold29 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 21, 2011, 10:05:40 PM »

As opposed to continuing the band without a drummer?

Fuck yeah I will, bring him on, let's make glorious normal drummer-fan relationship love together.

politically correct?

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #23 on:** March 21, 2011, 10:09:35 PM »

Nah I hate him already

j · « **Reply #24 on:** March 21, 2011, 10:11:03 PM »

Why would people not accept him, whoever he is? Goes double for me because I don't know a damn thing about drumming, so I won't even be able to tell if it's a "good fit" or not anyway.

Oops, there I go using the singular "they" again...

ricky · « **Reply #27 on:** March 21, 2011, 10:42:51 PM »

well technically its not singular, as there is a plural amount of drummers that could be the chosen one.

Without hearing the new album why?

SnakeEyes · « **Reply #29 on:** March 21, 2011, 11:36:03 PM »

The new drummer doesn't play with enough emotion.

yeshaberto · « **Reply #30 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:17:50 AM »

it will take me a while, but eventually

pogoowner · « **Reply #31 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:47:59 AM »

I have no reason not to be.

tri.ad · « **Reply #32 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:54:22 AM »

Of course. I don't see why I shouldn't be.

ThroughHerEyesDude6 · « **Reply #33 on:** March 22, 2011, 01:11:47 AM »

I can see another person there, sure. I will be accepting.

It's not going to be the same, but change is good. Besides, the pattern in their discography dictates that this album will be great. Analyze this:

(In bold are the albums that are absolute favorites/great albums as a whole)

When Dream and Day Unite
Images and Words
Awake
Falling Into Infinity
Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Train of Thought
Octavarium
Systematic Chaos
Black Clouds & Silver Linings
[New album]

Someone else picked up on this! I had a massive theory going based on this.

Then I listened to Octavarium for the first time in ages and it wasn't that great
