I'm pretty conflicted about their decision. This last album was their best with this line up and the production and drums were incredible! Sad to see Mangini go. Such a great guy too! God bless you Mr. Mangini!
Same! Mike, we have always loved your drumming and will continue to in the future. Both Mikes are amazing for different reasons with their unique styles but fans can get really one sides and unsupportive sometimes. I hope the other kind of fans, like us, have showed you just how much your drumming to them. ❤🤘
Mike Mangini will be missed, but he accomplished two things: 1. He left an impressive body of work over the past decade plus with DT 2. He converted and/or earned the support of the most diehard Portnoy fans Thanks for the memories, Mange.

Dear Mike Mangini. To me, you were the best thing that ever happened to Dream Theater - but they chose to go back to a drummer who is more concerned with the color of his beard than with being the solid yet creative force behind the other musicians. You have given more to this band than anyone could expect. From the bottom of my heart, a huge thank you for your contribution. For me, Dream Theater is no longer interesting, but I will follow you and hope that the joy I saw you play with Cory is the joy you engage with other bands that match your level. Thanks
I am very disappointed with DT to let magini go. I became DT fan since 2003, but Magini became my favorite members of band. I love him as an artist and a great human.

He was there light in their darkest times. . .he was their hero when they needed a savior. . . Only to be thrown aside like garbage 😔 Mike Mangini you were wronged. Thank you for your contributions and dedication to Dream Theater.
I’m a drummer and I was also a freelance follow spotlight operator in Denver before I started gigging full time back in the 90’s. Mangini was playing for Steve Vai for the G3 shows. I was #1 spotlight and had to follow Vai. Mangini was playing some crazy extended fills during a song and I slowly panned the spotlight to him. I got yelled at on the clearcom and went back to Vai. That was my little nod for all the drummers in the crowd and to the most talented dude on the stage.
I can't count how many times I watch this a day 😂. I will miss you Mr. Mangini in DT. I wish you make an appearance in future DT shows to play these songs live again.🙏
It's just so funny how before leaving Dream Theater, everyone kept saying we want Portnoy, it's not the same, but now everyone says how great he is with all his fills and proficiency, and how he is superior to Portnoy. Just funny and I've watched this drama from its birth!
Mike, from the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU!!!! You’re always going to be part of the Dream Theater family. A monumental talent and just a great person. We truly appreciate everything you have done.
I feel incredibly lucky to have witnessed the 'A View from the Top of the World' tour in Singapore, especially after learning about Mangini's departure from the band. Mangini's contributions as a drummer to DT are undeniable. His technical prowess broke through the barriers of the Portnoy era, allowing DT's music to venture into even bolder territories. I'm deeply disappointed with DT's decision, although I know they couldn't care less about my disappointment. To put it bluntly, just the drumming in the song 'Alien' alone is enough to keep MP practicing for a while, let alone creating such drumming. Among DT's decisions, letting MP go was the second biggest mistake, and bringing him back was the top one. I can confidently say that, among all drummers worldwide, nobody is more suitable for DT than Mangini.
Mangini es la perfección,la mejor contribución de Dream theater,me encanta la afinación de la batería,para mí The Alien es una demostración de cómo tocar bien una compleja poliritmia,nada predecible,increíble, que gran artista y músico Mike Mangini 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤟🏾
Mike's playing is just next level. DT has such legendary talent. Petrucci, Portnoy, Myung, Rudess and Mangini. All prodigies and top of the heap musicians. There's no other band out there with such a collection of musical titans {of their respective instruments} all in the same band. I've never been a fan of James LaBrie's vocal style and he can be very hit and miss live, but everyone else in the band is off the charts amazing as musicians. Mike is without question one of the greatest drummers to ever sit on the throne. His contribution to drumming and DT cannot be overstated. Mike.....you are LEGEND.
@@prismix0870 True. He's got almost operatic range. He's got a great set of pipes. I'm just not a fan of his vocal style personally and his voice is often wildly off key and all over the place in live performances I've watched; unlike their recordings where he's consistent. Can he sing? Absolutely. Are there better vocalists out there that could've been picked for front man of that group. OH YEAH.
As nostalgic this returned dream theater is, I am truly heart broken over mangini’s departure and wish they kept him. His drumming is on a whole different level. Much more dynamic and interesting 😢 He had so much pride & passion in his work and the position he was given. Thank you for everything Mike Mangini! You will always remain as one of the greatest!!!
@@InzidenzPanik Mangini's drum sound was bad, his show was bad, he's not a songwriter and he doesn't have a style, the only thing was his speed and technique, that doesn't make him a better musician... I watched the whole thing 2 times live... It was enough for me. Goodbye Mike Mangini...,
You did a great job on Dream Theater Mike. Thank you for the many fantastic songs and concerts. I wonder how Portnoy will be able to play this. I will miss you so much!
I can see why this song won a Grammy. That aside, Mike's economy of motion is really something. Very laid back, super relaxed. Just flows with the song, have to love it.
This is quite remarkable in terms of the ability to recall this amount of information back to back to back... I'm not new to DT but this is next level complexity
@@bikerider5296 For real. I just can't comprehend how one can follow such a complex song structure, with all the time signature changes, hits, and fills in between, all perfectly timed. I wonder how many times he has to play something like this to get it dialed? You said it; truly remarkable.
@@Beerbatter1962 once you've played stuff like this and it's something you wrote, it's easier to repeat. If he hadn't written the drum part, it would be a lot more difficult. At least in my experience
Hi Mike - I was amongst those lucky enough to be at your first show with DT in Rome and will never forget how everyone was smiling and always checking back on you and how you were managing. I'll admit it took me a while to get used to your tone and your own take on some of the Classics - but, objectively you are the reason DT still exist today and you leave an eternal legacy in Prog and DT that no one can ever impact. Thank you.
What a drummer! There’s something to be said about the art form to play these drums to a click, hit your drums consistently and with power and being able to apply the album music to your live performance. Mike Mangini is a guitar players ultimate jamming partner. Legend!
Such a complex composition but played and orchestrated by Mangini so effortlessly. What a damn shame for this amazing, magnetic, genius musician to leave the band like this. But on the flip side, I know MM will do a phenomenal job whatever project he endeavors in the future.
Insane but magnificent and enchanting playing. Out of this world, Alien indeed. Thank you, Mr. Mangini for sharing that transcendent musical majesty with us, thank you.
Trying to play this myself is what's required to appreciate this man. It's like watching gymnastics, it looks easy until you try it and then you realize its impossible.
Yes. You need a lot of practize to get around the drums. I consider A nightmare to remember is much easier (for me). I will never get The Alien into my memo.
Will also miss you Mike Mangini, you are first and foremost and incredible person and secondly a great drummer! DT's best achievements were accomplished with you onboard.
😍His drumming is unbelievably accessible (and fun) to play once you start applying rhythm knowledge workout principles to your drum routines. Go buy his books and check out the zoom lessons, ladies and gentlemen, they changed my life as a drummer 🙌🏼

Its a pleasure to see Mangini in a drum cam, I think his issue is that the drums are so complex so from the fans POV in a live concert, they will not "catch" all the movements, while MP is more a "front or show" man that is enjoyable to see in a concert.
Just when Dream Theater were about to reach that 'Rush' composition greatness especially with Drumming, they fire their drummer , I can understand it from sentimental point of view that life is too short and they started the band together, but I cant also help to feel v. sad that Mangini is gone
Amazing Mike. I think particularly in this album your drumming parts are absolutely outstanding. Waiting for the cam of the title track now :P (what a masterpiece btw!!!)

Mike Mangini is on the list of reasons why I play guitar.

He is the reason I feel always amateur in drumming and always will be forever. If he not have a feeling, how about another drummer?
This band is the main reason why i quit music
I draw stick figures because of this man
Yeah, there is this nuisance that some call Petrucci. Can be pretty annoying to ones ego when they pick up the guitar.
