I opened up a zillion Private, 1 on 1 Slots for this TH, May 13. It is a tight week as I thought it would be. I could open SAT. I will post again tomorrow about that. I definitely can't host any classes the following week either.

The week of May 23 is looking OK. I'll know in a couple of days so interested people can plan.

Reading between the lines, DT activities (photo and video shoots) will most likely last around a week, starting around the 17th.

yes, seems likely. I'll add it when it's confirmed (by way of pictures and things)

Is this the correct thread? Jordan just announced during his concert that DT will probably start touring sometime in Sept, Oct. (Now can't remember if he said Sept, Oct., or Oct Nov)I think the former though. :metal

Yeah! Hopefully this speeds up the process for DT15 :metal

The tour will most likely be US/Canada only, though, but it's something.

I mean, it's possible Winger made a video there..

Kinda starting to crave some updates on this!

Not heard much from the band lately, except the supposed photo shoot / video for 1st single?

Given the indicated late September / October release, what's everyone's estimate on when we'll start getting some concrete info?
I'm guessing we're probably still a month away from getting any announcement on title/art/tracklist - guessing late June/early July
I think late July/early August we'll see the first single

What does everyone think?

Album September 20 something

First single June.

Second Single August / Full Album details.

Given how poorly TA was received i'm not expecting a double or a concept ever again.

Thinking at most 9 actual TRACKS and around 65-70 mins of music. As besides TA - every Mangini album has had 9 songs around 60-75 mins total.

I’m with this. The first single will probably be out after June 25. Which is when the Live at Budokan 2017 is coming out. They probably out that out so far so they do it with the. We album releases in succession. We may get the album title, artwork, track titles earlier in June, though.

I'm hoping for/expecting a little teaser, like they did for LTE and Transatlantic, around the start of June, and then the proper album announcement a week or two after that, then the first single one or two weeks after, with pre-orders. Expecting the album to drop mid to late September.

I'm assuming that the Budokon 2017 release is for audio cd/digital download only.  Does anyone know if there is a live dvd as part of the package too?

We got a release month (September) but I wonder how far ahead would be a date of actually touring the record and at what length, considering that the rest of the world will eventually open up but in different stages in time.

Lol. Sorry. I was in a hurry. What I meant was they probably put that out so far so they could do the live album, single, new album in succession. Like a big ramp-up.

I'm no computer programmer, and I took part. I was able to solve a few things on my own, and it was a lot of fun. Hopefully you give it a shot next time!

It always amuses me how long it takes DT to release an album after it was finished. In the 70’s, an artist would release an album a month or so after it was recorded ! However, I accept that YouTube / social media did not exist then, which artists today can use as a promotional device ahead of the release of an album.

So, DT decide to film a video and release a track from the forthcoming album as a “teaser” to promote it. This will only be relevant to casual fans or non fans (regular long term fans will buy the album anyway, even if they heard nothing from it prior to the release). But why the delay ?

It appears the album was completed in April. They could have filmed the video for social media purposes and made it available, say May, with the album being released, say June / July. However, people are speculating that the “single” will be released in July and the album will follow in late September.

Surely the sooner an album is released, the sooner the costs of recording it can be recouped ? Why is the album being released (possibly) 5 months after it was recorded ?

It seems the supporting tour may start in September / October, so the release date may have been put back to co-incide with it. But does it really matter if an album is released one month before its supporting tour or three months before ?

Has DT ever recorded an album that was released fairly soon after the completion of recording ?

I'm no computer programmer either (unless Scratch counts :P), but I was able to vaguely understand what was happening from a distance. I was a bit late to the party to actually participate though.

As for the album release, I'm partly hoping that the release is pushed forward to August instead of September to allow some time before the tour starts. Perhaps that's an unrealistic hope, but if the album's already finished, I'd definitely prefer it to be sooner rather than later. :D

Depends how you define "fairly soon", but the shortest times appear to be FII (recording done in July of 1997, released on September 23rd) & TOT (recording done in September of 2003, released on November 11th).

You have to organize the promotion, the interviews, the actual manufacturing and distribution, and there are timeframes where the release of an album will make most commercial sense. All these details are not up to the drummer.

I don't think it takes them longer to drop an album than it takes other bands. It's usually four to five months after the recording has been done.

 ;D :tup Exactly!! I remember Noel Gallagher saying he had a finished album - but had to wait six months to release it - as the record company had decided when would be

the best time for maximum commercial impact or something. And he's Noel Gallagher.
