Sorry but some of those points are valid. I'm no Portnoy fanboy (much prefer Mangini on every level), but the level of interaction between the band and the fans has dropped to almost nothing. Jordan tweets several times a day but never about DT or the new album. We're less than two months away from a major new album release but you'd never guess it from the level of publicity so far.
Just my opinion guys.
Okay guys/girls, let's be real: Yes, MP was the frontrunner of the band.
But MP is gone and that leaves the rest of the band (mostly JP) to pick up that role and run with it. MP had "25 years" of practice, trial and error, etc. I think it is foolish to expect a similar output from JP on a fan-base interaction level right out of the gate.
I know this is DTF and what I am about to say goes against the grain and is contradictory to this entire thread and general attitude of most members, but how about we practice some...
PATIENCEMy opinion is that DT is doing a great job considering the events that have taken place in the past few years and, in my mind, things can only get even better going forward.
