It was something along the lines of :

" I thought about going back to DT but I had already put out my press release " .

And AX7 called him " too Press Release happy " meaning he would share all his private dealings with both bands in Press Releases rather than between lawyers and such.

Dunno, I thought MP told AX7 he was free to 'be with them' and they told him they'd not really planned for that to be an eventuality. So MP told them 'but I've already done my press release.' Did I get that wrong?

If MP ever broke up from the missus - would his Press Release contain a band analogy ?

"I told her I thought it was in everyone's best interests if we took a hiatus or so to persue other interests, and that we could then come back together better than before.  I was shocked when she told me she had already booked the studio time and was prepared to go forward, with or without me."

That's Derek playing with Black Label Society I'm pretty sure. That's how he was dressed when I met him (and didn't recognize him at first)
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

" After 25 years as a functioning unit - Portnoy have decided to split. It was due to musical differences. "

Jokes aside, I am always amazed when any musician who's away from home a lot of time because of touring/recording/etc. can keep a marriage together.  Maybe it's because I come from a very traditional family, but I can't imagine both of my parents having not been around every day when I was growing up.

I just realized that MP's post-DT career has officially jumped the shark for me. Flying Colors was the remaining project that kept my interest, but now they moved that project into the pile of NM prog.

It's actually one of the intriguing aspects of being a DT fan. All respects to their families.

I think they're just seeing it as a job thing. It's like, ''Daddy's on a business trip. He's away for a while and then he's back home for a while, and that's what he does for a living.''

Plus, he's been doing this all their lives so they are grown up with it and used to it.

Went over to MP's forum to see the feedback BTFW got. Reading through the thread, I spotted an atrociously silly remark by one of the admins, so I replied to it. Seeing the general mentality there, after I saw that posting is admin approved only, I knew my comment will never see the light of day. No surprises there.

I was just checking out that thread a few hours ago and noticed your post said, "Flagged for approval by admins" and didnt have the body of the post visible.
