Get John Myung back in amongst the lyrics imo, he wrote Learning To Live, Lifting Shadows Off A Dream, Trial Of Tears and Fatal Tragedy, all very well written songs, and so long as Petrucci steers clear of the 'horror' stuff his songs are very good also. All the music was always a whole band thing anyway, so I don't think that'll be an issue at all.
All very valid points

Frankly, the dude just pisses me off now.
Hmmm, kind of reminds me of Brett Farve...


Sorry, just had to throw that out there.

Definitely! And Scarred and Voices, too.

The Marco Minnemann speculation is just that... speculation. But I think it would be great if it were true. Other names that keep getting tossed about are Mike Mangini, Thomas Lang, and John Macaluso.

Marco said that he thinks James LaBrie is holding back Dream Theater as a band. Talk about potentially entering the band with extreme tension.

I heard James Labrie said Marco is a big stupid head.

Ouch. Might just be BS. You know truth and internet are two words that dont go together too well.

On the up side, Marco did the percussion on the last few George Bellas albums. So that might mean some more exposure for George. Which would be great. George is really under rated.

Lyrically, I feel strongly that DT had become a lot more hit-and-miss lately. I think Kevin Moore has been the only one to consistently write good lyrics. Some of Pettrucci's lyrics are great, too- The Silent Man, Voices, Hollow Years, The Spirit Carries On, Take Away My Pain, Another Day, In the Name of God, The Answer Lies Within, I Walk Beside You, Panic Attack... and most of Myung's lyrics were great (didn't care so much for the lyrics of Fatal Tragedy, though)

I wonder how much influence MP had on the music, though. I think that might be where his departure is felt the greatest, one way or the other...

Well, if he said that, then he's probably already on his way to courting DT fans... of course, he's wrong. LaBrie's solo material is really good while DT has been hit or miss lately. I think that's the fault of the band collectively, and obviously no one is going to blame big-name virtuosos like JP and MP or the role-players like JR and JM. The blame ends up on the guy who kind of makes the band sound dated, which would be someone who can sing in an era of screamers.

That would be awesome, and not saying its not true, but where in that report is there any substantiation apart from the fact that 'there's a video of Marco playing with Jordan Rudess' which everyone knew about anyway...

I think Blabbermouth are just trying to generate news...

I wouldn't mind at all if it is true though...

Isn't blabbermouth run by Roadrunner (Dream Theater's record company)? If so, one might think they had a bit better access to rumours than other people in the self-proclaimed "know".

On the bottom of the page. Basically it's just as much speculative as any other site that would post this. (Not saying that it's an impossibility for it to be true or anything, though)

I'd imagine a Portnoy/Myung reunion would result in Myung responding something like this:

^ Ken Jeong is hilarious. What's funny about your post is that John Myung is American of Korean descent, and so is the actor in the clip.
