Something about the way all 4 guys are more outspoken, and taking the reins, is really great to see.
JP is assuming leadership and guiding the vessel that is DT. He is obviously the one that is leading the band now, but not in a controlling way...more in a way that is assertive but comfortable.
JR in his "supporting role" is very dynamic and connects with the fans with great videos. He speaks his mind with his experience and knowledge and is a driving force that meshes well with JP's more relaxed attitude. His videos have become a prominent part of his persona to us fans, and that can only be a good thing as he gives us all kinds of fun stuff to watch. He is probably the most outspoken of the bunch, and he communicates so very well...really makes up for the communication that MP had with the fans.
JLB is holding the face value of DT in a very good way by being calm but focused. He also interacts with the fans and keeps us updated on things, even if it is vague. I think a lot of people look to the singer as the face of the band, and JLB is maintaining that very well. Seems like he gets more respect these days as well.
JM seems to be more open from what we have seen in the doc. ReapWebster said it in another thread, that it really seems like this is a different environment for Myung, and I think it's bringing out something new in him. This is good since JM seems to work more behind the scenes and serves a great supporting role. Really excited to see how he will be on the coming album.
Really, it's awesome to see that the band IS capable without MP, and that DT is reliant on one person. The mix of personalities in light of everything that has happened since MP's departure really excites me as a DT fan, because they all seem so pumped and inspired. And MM is a great addition to the band, from what we have seen.
How do you guys feel about the group dynamic, from what we know? We don't see everything, but we can get a good idea. This is one of the things I have noticed the most since watching the doc this week. This band has such respectable members.
