Indeed.  Band pictures with Portnoy started looking odd because he was the only real metal guy in them

Yes, and altogether the band looks less metal now. They look like a pop rock band like Nickelback, Alter Bridge and the likes.

Take me back to the TOT era promo pics and replace Portnoy with Mangini and there you have a pop rock/alternative band.  :biggrin:

I'm okay with them looking like that so long they don't sound like it too.

They had so much more mystique and mystery in their Awake era pictures. That said, it's cool seeing the first official picture with MM.

Cool picture and no, I hadn't seen it yet, so it's cool to get an early picture of the official lineup.

It's been a while since I've really cared a lot about how a band looks, other than maybe being a little embarassed by it.  How "metal" or how "rockin'" they look doesn't mean much to me.  There are some bands that I think look really cool but I can't stand their music, and some bands I love but realistically they all look like kinda lame.  So whatever.  But thanks for the picture.

I hope the new promos to come are a little more interesting. Like, I hope they match the personality of the new record (like that one wicked Black Clouds picture)

They look like a bad-ass gang, with JLB being the leader, and his gangsters surrounding him  :metal

Are they photoshopped onto that background?

Looks great. Glad they ditched the hot-topic outfits from the Black Clouds photoshoots. They look like DT again!

Actually, come to think of it, it really looks like they all might be photoshopped in! Were they even in the same room?

I hate to sound cheesy, but I look at that picture and see some of the world's greatest musicians standing right next to each other.  I see the potential for the next album and that, in itself, is insanely bad ass.

But it's nice to get an official pic with Mangini in, even if the background looks photoshopped in.

Someone should edit wikipedia's Dream Theater page and use this as the picture.
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A.

Two comments:

1) For some reason Mangini looks like he's puffing out his chest, which I find funny.  The guy's about 5'7" (I've met him IRL), and it seems he's trying to stretch that a bit.

2) Mangini should have rocked MP's overalls-without-a-shirt look from the I&W liner notes.  :heart

JR needs to do promo photos with his wizard hat, but act as though he isn't even wearing it. Or that his wearing it is nothing out of the ordinary.
