awesome guy

I don't think we need to worry at all about MM not being as outgoing in interviews as MP.

I liked his thing about "Give me the ball."

My god he can talk.

Great interview though, intrigued to find out what songs are on the master setlist for the summer.

Adami · « **Reply #12 on:** May 21, 2011, 03:19:51 PM »

I like Mangini, and I'm super psyched that he's the new drummer, but holy crap he talks a lot.

It seems that we are going to see A LOT of songs between the summer tour and the winter tour. Really happy for that

And, was I the only one trying to figure out what facial expressions he was having during the interview?

Maybe spending some time too close to JM will make him a quieter man.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #14 on:** May 21, 2011, 03:26:09 PM »

I expect A LOT of classics in the summer - plenty from I&W, Awake and SFAM (+ the three audition songs of course). Then obviously more new songs in the autumn/winter (and hopefully ACOS

).

noxon · « **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2011, 03:27:25 PM »

Wasteland: i have a video of the interview as well, as it was done over video chat, and i'm uploading it as we speak. So you may actually be able to see those expressions.

Regarding talking; most artists i've interviewed have been extremely easy to interview - they are so accustomed to the the process of interviewing that they basically just talk and talk trying to cover what they think you actually wanted to ask

Sometimes they predict what you're gonna ask within the first couple of words and you can see them be kinda waiting impatiently for you to finish the question so they can start their answer.

I know they kind of have to play the audition songs, because it would be like a middle finger to Mangini if they didn't, but TDOE and TSCO are two of my least favorite DT songs, hopefully when they come to America, those two songs can be dropped.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #17 on:** May 21, 2011, 03:29:04 PM »

I'd actually prefer them to drop ANTR out of the three. First because it takes such a big chunk of the set, and second because they played it at nearly every show last tour.

robwebster · « **Reply #18 on:** May 21, 2011, 03:30:53 PM »

"Can't wait to see you on the road with Dream Theater--" "YEAAAAH!"

Brilliant.

Same here, as I expressed elsewhere in this forum. On the other side, I expect TSCO to be granted a permanent place in every setlist of the tour, it's quite logical... probably as the first song of the encore, or the last song of the set.

I'd be fine with that song dropped too haha. But I skipped out on the last tour and didn't get to see it, so I don't have the distaste for it that I have for TSCO and TDOE, especially TSCO since they usually add in a 10-15 minute jam before hand that never goes anywhere.

I don't have time right now, so I'll listen to it tomorrow. Sounds good, though.

This is a great interview, i really like Mike's personality and he seems so excited that makes me really optimistic about the future of the band.
