Congrats to Mangini, I was hoping for Marco, but Mangini will serve the band well!

Too bad they didn't have footage of a phone call to Marco.

Also Petrucci with full beard = 3x as scary, and apparently much more trustworthy.

He talked a lot too. What I really liked that he said was something about recoverring a 1 on 1 type chemistry that he used to have just jamming with John. That to me is rather promising. Not going to even try to shoot at what was going on but Portnoy in the past made comments about Myung being 'more in a shell now' or somesuch, maybe something here changed that? The more input from other members the better imo, you can never have enough sets of ears.

This is one of my favorite comments here. I had to quote it and say it. NOW I'm really looking forward to the next album. (God, I just keep repeating myself with increasing degrees of intensity in almost every post I've made here

)

That works! Thanks dude!

Lechugaz · 04-29-2011, 11:48 AM

Congrats to Mike Mangini. Iwould of loved DT with Virgil Donati. For me he is by far the best drummer, but yes: He doesn't sound as heavy as the other drummers and would have change DT's sounds a lot. But, is that wrong? It would be a very interesting change.

somniumaeternum · 04-29-2011, 12:11 PM

I still really wish Lang or Marco would be the guy... but I'm happy they found the right guy is for them. Now I'm trying really hard not to pre-judge or make any expectations regarding the upcoming album.

I want to listen to it with fresh ears and an open mind instead of it's DT + Mangini. I hope they move forward as if they were a new band.

th3m1ke · 04-29-2011, 12:14 PM

Big congrats to Mike. What impressed me more than his drumming was just his personality. The amount of care and emotion in his genuine reaction was priceless. I also am really glad when he was talking at the end about portnoy and really honoring him instead of just making it like he was out right replacing him. Class act all the way.

I see a lot of promise of that being the case. Seriously heard more of Myung talking here than in the entirety of the band's history. That bodes well for me, as well as him sitting with John 1 on 1. I'm very optimistic and eager for the new record now.

Maggai · 04-29-2011, 12:26 PM

The way Mangini talked about Portnoy at the end there made it sound like Portnoy died........

Marco was my favorite of the drummers, but Mangini was awesome as well. He was the obvious choice all along, which may be a bit boring, but I'm really looking forward to hearing what the new album will be like.

Hearing Myung talking is ....ing awesome!

Ironbird666 · 04-29-2011, 12:31 PM

I would have been cool with any of the top three to be honest. All three of them are completely awesome and I'm definitely impressed with how awesome Mike seems to be as a person as well as a drummer. I'm definitely looking forward to the next album now.

RevDrucifer · 04-29-2011, 12:42 PM

I'm definitely anxious to hear Portnoy's response to this. I'm sure he's had time to deal with it all and he's been busy enough working on his new bands I'm sure he doesn't even have the mental space to give it much thought anymore.

But, I'm not Portnoy, so, I'm talking outta me ayse'.

My buddy Jay who was taught by Mangini a few years ago is jumpin' up and down. We both were hardcore DT fans growing up, so this is ultra ....in' cool for him.

He made a vid the other day of him just jammin' behind his kit, you can check him out here- Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More It starts slow, so ya might wanna skip to about 4 mins in. Funny enough, Lars is the reason Jay wanted to play to begin with.

If anyone in the Boston area is lookin' for a good studio drummer or a fill-in for live gigs, feel free to hit Jay up.

Xiphos68 · 04-29-2011, 01:10 PM

Woot Woot Mangini!!!!!!!!!

Very excited for this album!

I reckon the DT guys told Mike the decision as soon as they knew.

simulclass83 · 04-29-2011, 02:32 PM

Damn, I was really hoping for Minneman. He was such a great guy and drummer. Plus, his snare sounded super ....ing sweet. And he was tall as s***.

This is probably true.

That's the only thing I can't get past from DT.

Even though they say still love Mike and what not. It seems like they couldn't answer his questions face to face. Also Ytsejam records may not continue since JP won't get in tough for him.

I feel like when they say that, they do still love him, but he made a huge dick move and things just can't be the same after that.
