Kind of a bizarre yet humorous video.  I had never seen this before.  A few minutes of weird neck-beard chat before the shakedown/strong arming.  From the filming of the Chaos in Motion DVD. 

CharlesPL

Yes great video, hidden as a dollar on CiM dvd.Have you found a razor blade/beer :P ?

Madman Shepherd

This is actually on the DVD?  How do you find these easter eggs?  Come to think of it, I think I watched that DVD exactly once. 

BlobVanDam

Best easter egg ever (good timing to post about it too :P ). Eric is a funny guy.

I think the Easter Egg inside the Easter Egg is that we know JP uses/used AOL :lol

I never would have guessed but you really shouldn't fuck around with Jordan Rudess.

I loved this Easter Egg.  The other if I remember is Rock Juice.


I love how James evaded and dismissed Eric as well. :lol

This was dark. This made me feel like James was a bit of a   :censored . Really don't like his personality here. But still, he was always a bit of an uptight guy. Starting to see why he was such a great fit in the role of me on The Human Equation by Ayreon.

Come to think of it, any DT fans going to that? Want to see it, but live in Bunbury, Western Australia, so that's not gonna happen!  :'(

rumborak

Wtf, how was that dark? That was just excellent banter between buddies.

This exactly.  Not sure what you're talking about.

What's not to love about it?!  He was ready to completely crush the childhood of a young girl!  He was ready to do irreparable damage to the working relationship between him and a drum tech all while refusing to pay him a dollar he was owed so his family would have to cancel christmas!

And what makes it even better is that everyone was in on the joke......

There was really nothing dark about that. It's just dry humor between friends.

JLB and Eric Disrude have always had a fluctuating relationship, as demonstrated when they came to Long Island in 2012.

Still does.
As does my family, including myself, despite being 17.

Just don't plan on having a career in IT. it's usually agreed that an AOL email address means "immediately disqualified" :lol

Kotowboy

I can totally see the anti-Labrie brigade using that clip in anecdotes about how "he sucks"


":p haha James Labrie. Terrible singer and he famously wouldn't give a member of his crew one measly dollar to help him buy his kid a gift because he wasn't getting paid for the tour but everyone else in the band helped him out. Fuck Labrie ::)"



I've heard anti JL sheep say that Portnoy "was" the band and it was actually James who was "a prick".


::)

I had to create a more professional email address when I started sending out resumes a few years ago.  I don't think interviewers would have understood what a progsnobdt@yahoo.com was or a KingElessar@gmail.com was.

If some guy assaulted me with a towel I would more than likely tell their kid there was no Santa so I can totally see why James threatened Eric Disrude with that!

Grizz

To be fair, the no Santa threat came 5 years before the towel.

Madman Shepherd

People don't just start assaulting people with towels one day.  Usually there is a long sordid history of towel assaults.

It's not serious you know.

Come to think of it, I'd probably be exactly like James haha.
