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 · April 06, 2015, 06:03:16 PM

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

?

Madman Shepherd · April 06, 2015, 06:19:32 PM

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 · April 06, 2015, 06:23:28 PM

Best easter egg ever (good timing to post about it too

). Eric is a funny guy.

Prog Snob · April 06, 2015, 06:37:19 PM

That was great.

Yes, use the arrows

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

DarkLord_Lalinc · April 06, 2015, 09:16:42 PM

I miss this kind of funny shit in DT's recent DVDs.

That's pretty crazy.

Lynxo · April 07, 2015, 07:36:19 AM

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

Rodni Demental · April 07, 2015, 07:52:15 AM

That was amazing, never knew about this! JLB and JR...

Somehow that doesn't surprise me

King Postwhore · April 07, 2015, 08:30:53 AM

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

I love how James evaded and dismissed Eric as well.

TAC · April 08, 2015, 06:20:52 AM

This video never gets old. It's outstanding!

Kotowboy · April 09, 2015, 03:19:50 AM

Myung was the funniest.

Reads the contract.

Then pays up.

Mladen · April 09, 2015, 03:38:04 AM

Yeah, this is such a funny video. Chaos in motion is such a tremendous DVD, I love all the extras and good stuff.

Kotowboy · April 09, 2015, 03:55:01 AM

Eric looks a wee bit like Brian Mantia.

. 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 · April 11, 2015, 07:32:28 AM

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

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......

....everyone except for....

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.

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"

Kotowboy · April 13, 2015, 07:36:23 AM

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

"

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 don't use that one or the email in which my username is "ProgMetalMan" for filling out applications.

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 · April 14, 2015, 06:58:32 AM

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

Madman Shepherd · April 14, 2015, 02:04:32 PM

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.
