So I'm not on social media lol, but I have a question...
Has any member of the band said anything anywhere about MP returning? I mean, it seems if you slept through the day that the press release was put out, you might think Mangini was still in the band.
As to Fbook: jammindude posted JLB's post on Saturday (I added the pix after not seeing his post).
Jordan posted the 'Hugh Syme' picture on October 25th at 11:12AM with the simple comment "Yes, it's true. My musical brother, Mike Portnoy, is returning to Dream Theater!"
He also posted this on October 31st:
"In March 2021 after recording the third Liquid Tension Experiment album, my musical brother Mike Portnoy joined me for one of my Patreon exclusive live chats.
With Mike recently rejoining Dream Theater, I wanted to make this discussion available for everyone to enjoy!"

"I’m incredibly excited to welcome Mike Portnoy back into Dream Theater! As an original founding member, longtime friend and incredibly talented and creative drummer, I know that his return will bring a renewed spirit, passion and energy into DT that all of us, including our fans, will joyfully welcome. I can’t wait to roll up our sleeves and get back into the studio together!
Mike Mangini's drumming is otherworldly and I’m extremely grateful for the time he spent with us in Dream Theater. I’m very proud of all the amazing music we made together that culminated in our first GRAMMY win last year and the countless magical moments that we’ve shared on stage over the past 13 years. I wish him all the best of success in his future musical endeavors."
