Interesting.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

MM should've done the record imo.

Why?

Why not? MM had already been JP's solo drummer for a while and also played a couple of those tracks live with him and Dave.

I also prefer MM to MP, both in playing and personality, so there's that too :)

In fact, I think that MP should do this show, since now he seems to be the drummer on JP solo albums from now on. Just my speculation, since MP isn`t in DT anymore. I think this would be a cool excuse for them to work together.
Or maybe MM is already the drummer for the entire JPGU 3.0 event and it will make more sense because of the logistics.

Could be MP is too busy with his own projects with Neal Morse and others.

Is Mike Mangini replacing Mike Portnoy who replaced Mike Mangini who replaced Mike Portnoy who replaced Dave DiCenso?

You are almost right! But it's more like:
Is Mike Mangini replacing Mike Portnoy who replaced Mike Mangini who replaced Mike Portnoy who replaced Dave DiCenso who replaced Mike Portnoy  ;D, because I believe that JP toured with MP before recording the first album.

Well, I am sure if Portnoy was offered the spot first, he will tell the world, since he won't pass up an opportunity to stick a thumb in Mangini's eye ("JP wanted me first! Na na!!"). :P :lol

I think this is much ado about nothing.  Mangine is/was a teacher for many years.  This is in his wheelhouse.  I don't get the sense that Portnoy has that urge in him.

Interesting that now some fans will be able to complain about Mangini also OUTSIDE DT. Always good to expand horizons.  :lol :lol

Good luck Mike.

ToC came up on my random play. That song is absolutely awesome and I am excited to think that DT15 may have something like it!

Snake in My Boot still feels like the major sleeper from this.  I think it's a top 3 tune from the record, and I love the homage to EVH in his playing in the first part.

When (and if) an official tour supporting this solo album happens, I will lobby for JP to bring on a rhythm guitarist.  The more I listen to Terminal Velocity, the more I think that a live performance would benefit from a second guitar recreating the orchestrated backdrop.

To this end, I nominate DT89 as the perfect candidate for the job.  After all, he has the chops and already knows the songs!

Although I'd rather have Stream of Consciousness. They could also throw in more instrumentals in the set to give JLB breaks so the shows and songs won't be too much of a strain on his vocals. And they could throw in a Terminal Velocity song, and have JR add some embellishments of his own. 

Mangini is playing drums with him live, and Myung has learned and arranged Tony Levin's Chapman Stick parts of LTE songs for the bass. A Terminal Velocity song wouldn't be hard at all. It would be interesting to hear JRs involvement if they were to cover a song.

This is great!  I like it even more for the fact that JP is human and makes mistakes live. You can tell all three of the band members were a bit nervous especially during Terminal Velocity.  You know what, that is totally ok and I can relate.  I've made tons of clumsy mistakes live due to nerves.
It also comes down to the setting you are playing. That particular setting where they are playing looks a bit out of their element making them feel vulnerable.  I love it!   :metal

That could also be due to the audience they're performing for. They're all guitarists/musicians whom will be watching their every finger playing that note, and will be analyzing the playing as it's happening.

That's a lot of nerves to have when playing 😂

O gosh yeah!  I remember playing a outdoor gig at a very nice local amphitheater.  I was playing good and smooth for the first hour or so. Then a local guitar player showed up who has better skills than me btw, stood in front of me and watched closely.  He got into my psyche and I started screwing up left and right turning the rest of the evening into a disaster.  :lol

Could also be a case of not having/spending enough time to prepare/re-learn these songs. Especially for JP, as arranging such a conference takes a significant amount of time and energy. I do not think these mistakes will affect him though - JP will be dialed in when the touring starts as always.

They haven't played live in a while either, it's a completely different experience than just jamming along the tracks at home. Hopefully they're more warmed up for the upcoming DT tour.

Oh yeah. It could totally be that. They didn't have much time to rehearse the songs together.

Happy Song is awesome though to get to hear live.
