I have a Mike Mangini connection! haha
« on: April 30, 2011, 11:13:24 PM »
This is really lame, but still kind of cool.  Okay, it's not very cool at all.  LOL  Anyway, here goes....

One of the guys who teaches at the same place where I teach plays Eddie in a Van Halen tribute band.  We were talking about the DT drummer thing and the guy said Mangini played in the same VH tribute band (before the guy I know was in it) back in the 80's.  I thought he might have been mistaken, but I just looked it up and, sure enough, there's mention of it online.

Now that Obama has closed Gitmo, when will he turn his attention to the abuses and torturing of the onions that are used to make the angry whopper?

I don't think that counts as a connection.

Aniland's reaction to Snake's comment was probably equivalent to Mangini's expression in the profile picture

Well, we wouldn't be Dream Theater Forums if we all weren't painfully sarcastic yet, at the same time, painfully unable to detect or handle the sarcasm of others.

Well, I'm Polish. And the Polish flag is part of the American flag:

Which technically makes me the same nationality as DT members. I'm drinking tea at this very moment, and I'm sure Jordan Rudess also drinks tea... which makes me his cousin, right?

It's a tenuous connection, but a connection nonetheless.

I`m from Buenos Aires, Argentina so as Stefania Daniel, former second guitar on Seven the Hardway, Tony MacAlpine's last project with Virgil Donati on drums who auditioned for DT just like MM. So, there`s my connection!

I personally hang out with the guy that replaced Mangini at Berklee. Does that count as my connection? :P
