JP's second solo album comin' up!

[Unlovely]

I don't want to get overly excited here, but what if the Portnoy/Wilson/Akerfelt project is finally able to materialize?

I thought you didn't like Opeth or Porcupine Tree?

Opeth doesn't write good songs, but I like Akerfelt as a vocalist and a guitarist.

I'm not a huge Porcupine Tree fan, but Fear of a Blank Planet is a really good album, and I think Steven Wilson is capable of writing great music.

lol

Yeah, pretty much the same reaction I had.

There are plenty of us who feel that way, not just Reap. Sorry if I'm not an Opeth sheep. (rhyme unintentional)

Thinking someone writes good songs, let alone acknowledging that idea ≠ being a "sheep"

Oh, and .. lol

This. And there is a difference between saying you don't like a certain band, and saying they don't write good songs. But we've all been into a debate like this before, so let's not get it started again.

This is very true. I was just being a hard-ass, sorry.

Hopefully it's a bit more interesting than Suspended Animation.

Cool news anyway!

Shame on you, friend! Of course, if it is better than Suspended Animation, then I'm gonna need a change of pants. In fact, that should be the name of the album "A Change of Pants"

Ditto. If it's even better than SA, it might well become the standard background music for sperm banks.

I hope you guys don't mind me bumping this thread, I didn't want to start a new thread as I was sure there was one about this topic somewhere on the board.

I was thinking about the next JP solo album and I remembered him mentioning that he would like to play with Mike Portnoy some time in the future. Seeing as though this will be quite unlikely to happen in DT, who thinks it would be a good idea to have MP play the drums on this album?

I don't think it would be a good idea OR a bad idea.  It would just be him hiring someone to play drums.

He should get Gene Hoglan.

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

I feel a new topic coming up: Place your bets - Drummer on JP's next solo album...

[FretMuppet]

Or maybe even get someone who auditioned for DT but didnt get the place, like as a consolation

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

This is going to be sweet.

[PetFish]

Definitely NOT a good idea right now.  It's way too soon.

SA is awesome. When will we get this? Did I miss a date for it?

[rumborak]

I don't expect to hear anything on this topic until fall this year. Keep in mind how long it took for SA to finally come out. We were joking it was a second Chinese Democracy back in the day.

I really hope he calls it "Welcome Back, Guitar N00bs".

Thats fucking cool

Guitar Cozmo.

Learn the name.

[Stoneyman]

I think he has written for it, but I dont think he was actually tracking it yet.  I would expect that after the new DT cd is in the can he will start to track the new record.

MP would be great on it.  Seriously.

However, I vote for Jonathan Mover or Marco Minnemann.
