Mike Mangini and Portnoy--daisy picking and skipping through meadows?

[Grizz]

Well this thread has gone psychosane.

[hefdaddy42]

This is now worth all of the pain and heartache.

I saw yestarday again, it's quite youtube phenomenon on DT videos. Someone writes "Mike is better than Mike", releases the bomb and then all you need to watch the following discussion. 

[Kotowboy]

Mike is the best drummer DT have ever had

[Sir Walrus Cauliflower]

Mike is the best drummer DT have ever had

Mangini just has no soul or feel

Mangini just has no soul or feel

Mike could never play what Mike plays

[Sir Walrus Cauliflower]

That's how those YT arguments usually go.

"Mike is so sad,!!! Cause he stop her studying for concentrating this band.. Bad he spending almost"

That's an actual comment I found. I didn't make it up.

The hills are alive with the sound of Mangini.

🎵Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone!🎵

[BlobVanDam]

Tone, a note, a ph'nom'nal note
Prog, a drop of golden sun
Me, the drums I play myself
Bear, a long long way to run
Sound, the ninja's making none
La, a Brie to sing the song
Wiz, the notes come fast and strong
That will bring us back to Tooooooooooooooone

Finally, something to use as my signature...despite having to format it strangely

Extraneous vowels are another.

No, I do believe I spelled everything in my post correctly.

So what where JM and JP just side men to mike Portnoy. There is no doubt that MP gave 110% to the band but it was started by 3 People so this Dream Theater is MP baby is bull. If it wasn't for JP and JM there would have been no DT.

I do not like JM & JP!
Would you like their music here or there?
I would not like their music here or there.

Thank you! Thank you,

I don't want to spoil the fun, but I can't keep myself from saying something about the original subject of this thread.

We don't know all about their motives, you don't know all what's happened in the past, not everything is written down. And I think you're actually a bit of a stalker finding as much as possible about this 'drama'. I suggest you go and watch soaps, if you like such. What's happened, happened and all we can do is accept it. Stop interfering, because it's useless for us and them. Let them live their lives and dramas while we live ours and enjoy their music (or not).

Hi guys, this is my first post here.

I found my way here to this thread because I've got the same opinion as the OP, and googled led me here
Even though MM is technically better than MP, in my opinion he does not bring in the same groove and feeling that MP did and also I miss the songwriting abilities of MP.

When I heard the self-titled, i was like what is that? That's not DT... at least not to me. Listening to the self-titled now gives me a better understanding of what MP must have done behind the scenes. I can imagine it was sometimes hell working with him, but that musical conflict between JP & MP somehow, at least for me, made DT so great. And now that part is missing... 

[Progmetty]

I only read the first and the last post of this thread and I just wanna say that:
Dream Theater sounds better with Mike Mangini.
Dream Theater has not hinted they would want Portnoy back and the general vibe I get is that Petrucci doesn't want it to happen.
Whether or not you liked the self-titled 1) is not related to Portnoy/Mangini. 2) it's still better than the last 3 albums Portnoy made with Dream Theater and so is ADToE.
What I did up there is that I stated my opinions in fact statement phrasing, it's annoying and aggravating, hinty da hinty hint.
