beul ni teh efac = Lube In The Face / That has to be wrong. / EDIT: Oh, it's Blue! I'm an idiot.
Pardon the interruption, but I just had to run in and celebrate the majesty of Lube in the Face as highest moment in roulette history
Mike said the filming is just for some backup footage for his band archives. Sounds like it won't be released.

It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

My bet is that they'll release it when SOA is inactive for a couple years while Mike is doing something else.
The thing that stood out for me watching the show, is MP being the least entertaining bandmember. Really taking a backseat and playing his parts.
I suspect that is fairly normal, as Father Time gets us all, and no matter how active you are and how good a shape you are in, it is nearly impossible to maintain the same energy level in your 40's and 50's that you had in your 20's and 30's.
It could simply be a cause of him getting older and not having as much energy at every live show. I saw the Neal Morse Band three times last year and he looked fairly subdued at all three shows (relative to the energy he used to have back in the day when I saw Dream Theater).

DickinsonAnother example. I'm not entirely sure it's age, I think he just isn't the main attraction in SOA IMO, not a knock on him, just that BB and JSS really steal the show.
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.
Two necks at the same time, man.
Quote from: Kattelox on October 06, 2018, 04:34:15 PMTwo necks at the same time, man.Hey Peter, man. Check out this band! It's the new kings of prog!
I gotta wake my ass up at 6 AM every day this week, drag up to Las Colinas. Yeah I'm doin' the drywall up there at the new McDonald's. For some reason that's one of my favorite lines in the whole movie, that entire scene is classic."Nah... nah, man. Hell nah. I believe you get your ass kicked sayin' something like that."
In the end they have to decide whether it's a real band or just another project, especially MP I guess.I would love to Bumblefoot and JSS continue. BS en MP are replaceable IMHO, don't know about DS.

BS en MP are replaceable IMHO, don't know about DS. Maybe, but who in their right mind would want to replace MP on drums, or BS on bass? I guess the only reason would be that they are spread too thin with other projects. I think the band would suffer without MP as he has good compositional skills and is very creative..

But this band? a ton of drummers/bassists can do the exact same job, if not better.
He's got nowhere else to go though. Could you imagine him starting another band and trying to gain any momentum knowing that TWD, SoA, and AM were all ended prematurely? He's got to know that SoA is basically his last resort and the only thing he could do otherwise is join a band that already has a pre-existing audience like he did with A7X.

Not a band anywhere near as big as A7X, probably more like when he played with Twisted Sister. But he'll definitely try to form another new band at some point in the next 5 years.

Well, I feel like he's pretty busy for the next 2 years or so with other bands. So I said 5 years cause he hasn't (yet) projected that far out. I also feel like the next new band we get will attempt to be more "classic prog" as opposed to all the metal stuff he's trying to do these days. And when I say classic prog, I mean like 70's era mixed with some modern influences. Just a hunch.

Interesting take on the "classic prog" band, he might form something like that - or would he just reunite Transatlantic for another album?
