never heard of him. wikipedia said he died in a plane crash though, RIP, i guess

That's too bad. How old was he? Seventeen?

says he was 62 at the time of his death, no idea when the crash was

interestingly enough he is from colorado (where i live). i've never heard of him though, haha

Where the hell are you reading this bollocks?  The same place that told you MP took legal action to rejoin the band??

wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kip_Winger

didn't know he played on a Bob Dylan album, pretty cool.

Nice trolling mate.



EDIT: Looks like on a refresh it was removed. Someone must have recently edited the page.

What a stunning coincidence........

are you admitting to it?

Yes, that's something I do often.  I somehow knew that you were going to look him up on wikipedia so quickly went to his page and made up a story about a fictitious death so you would then find it, post about it and then I could act all confused and call you out and then quickly delete it to fuck with you.

I'm a fucking mastermind I tell ya.  ::)

I'm a sick fuck but not that fucking sick.

i mean you would know that most people go to wikipedia to learn about new things so it'd be the first place you would check to quickly troll me. i'm onto you

anyway, now that we cleared up wolfie's silly prank can we get back to the topic of hand, which is "what if Devin Townsend replaced JP and JLB in Dream Theater?"

what sounds of Devin's would you want them to blend in with the classic DT sound?

What if.....

both JP and JLB departed the band, and in their place, MP, JR, and JM teamed up with.. Devin Townsend?

sounds kind of insane, but also it would be a seismic shift in the bands sound and direction

Obviously, it'll never happen, but if it did, hell, even if it was just a side project and not even called DT, it would be awesome

What do y'all think?  :millahhhh :hat
I don't think anything about it at all because

it'll never happen
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

If DT replaced James and JP with Devin, I would want them to replace Portnoy with Ryan Van Poederooyen, John Myung with Brian "Beav" Waddell, and JR with Dave Young, add Mark Cimino on second guitar and even get Anneke van Giersbergen for vocals too.

Now that's a DT lineup I can get behind.

Devin doesn't do anything for me, so my fun dream scenario would be if Rick Wakeman replaced Jordan Rudess and brought an arsenal of vintage synths and Hammond organs with him. Never really liked Jordan's minimalist approach or his choice of sounds tbh.



Sycsa is perhaps the most brilliant and insightful man I have ever encountered.

People complain about trolls posting here and troll posts specifically, and yet many of those same people continue to post and respond, feeding the trolls and encouraging the very behavior you are complaining about.  If you don't want to deal with trolls, don't feed them.  Simple as that.
