What the fuck noobs! Did u even listen to the former dream theatre drummer Mike portnoy..?? He is still the drum living legend... ... Go watch him. first
I love Mangini's facial expressions during his solo. He looks like he just woke up from a coma and is thinking "is this drumming? I hope this is drumming". He's a great performer.
Not sure about now, but he used to have absolutely insane let's call it drum kit. It was basically a big room (garage alike) with so many drums everywhere that all the cymbals were hanging from the ceiling because there was no room for them to stand on the ground.
Always impressed by the way Myung looks like he's out for a stroll while playing 20 complex notes a second. He always looks more relaxed than Petrucci.
Let me tell you this, I have the DVD, and a little bit later, I saw him struggling ( meaning a frustrated face) in Breaking All Illusions, a little bit later in the concert. Maybe he sometimes feels like the years are getting on to him.
Dude, I'm high as shit on edibles and I now get what the drum solo is about. It itself is part of the "meaning" in the song, a story of espionage and a plight to gain an edge in a war without end. His solo is them cranking up the Enigma Machine. It sounds like a chaotic locomotive almost with bells and whistles, and pistons that churn while it computes. Then it starts to build, gets more and momentus and starts to resolve not melodically but rhythmically, with the polyrhythmic limb pattern near the end. Finally there's some even churning, before a "pinball machine sound effect" type of final result, where the decoded message is finally spit out of the machine. God dammit Mike, people need to appreciate what you bring to this band a little more.
I saw that video, and actually made a comment about how glad I was that Mike was picked. I think that Marco looks almost spastic in that audition. No offense to his playing, but I don't agree with his style of visual entertainment.
Shreyan Roy Too true. I hope to be as good as him someday. I am a child prodigy, not to toot my own horn but I have been playing since 2. Honestly, I think I can do most of his stuff. Just not the one handed toms. And floor toms. I can't play as fast as him but I can play really fast.
I seen Mike Mangini live with Steve Vai and thought to myself...Steve found someone as good on drums as he is on guitar. What a concert!!! Mangini is amazing. On another level that only years of practice could get you.
Mike Mangini's drum set is so batshit crazy, you have to love him just for that. Of course, being one of the best of the best drummers helps as well, but that set...
@@victorbrownlow5477 I'm guessing he's showing everyone he can play this stuff on a smaller kit. There's actually people that think a big kit makes you automatically play better
I have always liked Mr Mike Mangini !! I met him in person at a local music shop and he was a guest drummer and his playing ability is phenomenal !! I wish my skills was marvelous like his ...
Been following Mangini for years, he is outstanding. A modern day Terry Bozzio..and the coolest guy you ever want to meet..very humble. My favorite ever!!
Llevo escuchando a dream desde el liceo, y la primera cancion fue The Glass Prision, y me senti identificado de inmediato con su estilo, desde entonces no he parado de seguir a 5 personas con una genialidad musical impresionante e innovadora. Adoro cada disco que han elaborado, cada uno con detalles increibles en cada instrumento. Gran grupo que alimenta la sed musical del alma.
I love Dream Theater, and I was heartbroken when Portnoy left. However, Mangini is starting to grow on me. I'm convinced there is stuff he does that Portnoy couldn't replicate. They're both great, but I am excited about the new era of Dream Theater drumming to attempt (and fail) to master haha.
Hes amazing,but i see why people dislike him compared to Portnoy ,hes too perfect and his drum sound is different,i like him more in other bands ,for thrash metal or some more extreme stuff hes a monster
Neetigya Saxena That is not true, music created with this level of precision in mind requires massive amount of effort to memorize. That said, the reason why they remember this all is that they practice and perform hundreds of times every year.
A notre époque ou tout est simplifié, ces musiciens hors pairs continuent de faire de la musique purement géniale et hautement composée....Un immense bravo et admiration ! Quel solo magnifique de batterie de Mike Mangini ! ( de la part d'un batteur-compositeur "pro" et prof de batterie ).
Impossible to hate Mangini, this is not the question, he is an exceptional drummer. To replace Portnoy by Mangini, would be like replacing Petrucci by Satriani, Vai or Morse for example. No one doubts their quality, it just would not be the same, I'd lose another piece of Dream Theater soul.
My mom bought a music disc without knowing the name of the band or anything, played it and it sounds so cool, it ended up being this band and man im so glad my mom found that disc lol
I love watching Mike Mangini play drums. His expressions make me laugh everytime, especially during the drum solo. It looks like he's thinking "Oh look at that tom, that'll sound nice if I hit it now. OOH and that one too! Dude! Have you seen this splash!?". It looks hilarious but man can he drum.
He can really pull off some amazing vocal solos, insane how he can make his voice sound like guitars and keyboards, you almost wonder why he isnt just an acapella act!
Jika anda menonton live Dream Theater, maka anda harus diam & saksikan. Otak anda akan fokus, untuk berusaha meniru atau mengagumi kegaharan Tapi jika anda melihat live Mr. Big, maka jiwa & hati anda akan terbawa dengan rock n roll khasnya. Hingga goyangan, tangisan, tawa, tak terasa telah terjadi begitu saja. Kedua Band yang sangat gila dalam tehnik, namun beda karakter respon penonton
I love how the audience just chills and takes it all in. Maybe thats the venue type. But you'll see me standing still in a crowd at a metal show just taking it all in. no time to mosh for me.
I'm pretty sure if you want to "break the fourth wall," you gotta look up from your fretboard at least once! Bless his heart, at least Mangini knows he has the best job in the world.
So Dream Theater replaced a drummer named Mike, with... a drummer named Mike. I don't imagine things like that happen often lol. Regarding the 2 Mike's, I enjoy the drum work of both. They're different, but awesome in their own unique ways. I know a lot of DT fans prefer one or the other, but I have no preference; I like both drummers equally.
Sound like you are going to battle Elite Four Yes. Elite four Myung Elite four Mangini Elite four Jordan Elite four Petrucci And pokemon Champ James Lol
I don't like DT much since MP left, but I can still watch Mangini solo, and just laugh with joy because he is so amazing. Mangini has his shit together more than 99% of the drummers on the planet, and it's a marvel to watch. Even though I may not like this song, I love to see something truly great happening on the drums. It is possible to love a drummer without liking his band, and really theres nothing wrong with that. Take inspiration wherever it comes from.
before watching this video i thought portnoy is better but now.... no one can play single storke drumsolo like mangini. from one of your fan in korea. (i am not good in english..)
Petrucci ha un suono di chitarra estremamente presente e ricco. L'arrangiamento è come sempre curatissimo. Mangini fa spettacolo ed è bravissimo. Il suo solo mi ha stupito e divertito.

Not sure what is more amazing...the playing, or the memorization.
I truely love Mangini’s polyrhythms, he is the specialist for it. Great work!
Always impressed by the way Myung looks like he's out for a stroll while playing 20 complex notes a second. He always looks more relaxed than Petrucci.

Dude you are right as hell
Sounds about right.
Taking “telling a story with a drum solo” to the next fucking level!
🤣🤣🤣........ yeah your definitely High
😱😱😱
This is simply awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Mangini's Enigma solo is ferocious. Just like all of his performances. One of the world's best drummers. Plain and simple.
Glad they got him. Filling Portnoy's shoes ain't easy and he does it pretty well I'd say.
Rodrigo Sanchez Nice to finally see some positivity in DT comments about Mangini.
I saw that video, and actually made a comment about how glad I was that Mike was picked. I think that Marco looks almost spastic in that audition. No offense to his playing, but I don't agree with his style of visual entertainment.
Insert "Portnoy was better" comment here
Marco is a fucking monster, best drummer out of the auditions by a long stretch.
The drum solo created another dimension in space itself *_*
Shreyan Roy Too true. I hope to be as good as him someday. I am a child prodigy, not to toot my own horn but I have been playing since 2. Honestly, I think I can do most of his stuff. Just not the one handed toms. And floor toms. I can't play as fast as him but I can play really fast.
MrNicko OD I think we want to see your videos now :)
Well then you have never seen me play.
MrNicko OD I would really love to see you play. I'm a 15 year old guitarist and John Petrucci has always been my main influence.
If you think you are so good, post a comment with a link to the video.
Mike Mangini is like an Octopus with his open handed playing..what a monster drummer he is
One of LaBrie's best vocal performances
+LoZBit :DD
Right boy

Ouuuh Yeaah!! I agree!!! hahahahaha
I hear that the US Naval Observatory sets its Master Clock to Mike Mangini's right leg.
hahahahaha
Yeah, that's just the problem - his playing has no feel.
Gregg Hudson he said himself, he wants to play exactly same as the album. wr cant blame him for that
@@LETSTALKENTERTAINMENT yea i just assume if mangini’s out and portnoy comes back in, how hard would he manage to cover mangini’s parts
@@gregghudson8872 hhhhhhhh
Wow. A stage full of incredible talent. Mangini is the man.
MM's technical prowess is unmatched. What's better is he plays and sounds like MM, and no one else.
I don't know about unmatched but yeah
TC is correct. Unmatched. At least that we know about.
Bozzio might be able to pull this shit off, but as much as I love him I'm really not sure.
@@Cuzjudd
He is one of the best alive today
Some day someone will surpass him..... possibly
Drummers were not this good in the 80', 90 etc
Give one who can much his technical ability

I´m gonna miss Mike Mangini in the band, he was awesome!
Yeah me too....
Wow such haters
That guitar sound is unbelievable. And John Myung’s playing is off the hook. These guys rock. Period.
Lead vocals, backing vocals and lyrics made by John Myung

You're exactly right. Eddie couldn't touch these guys cause he's so high above them he couldn't reach down that low. : )
You need to learn how to "think properly" if that's possible ...which I doubt very much .....ha.

compare this drum set to this current tours drum set like wtf happened

By the way discovering great songs of DT is like finding forgotten 20 dollars in jeans’ pocket
Everyone of these musicians are just incredible
No matter how many times I watch this video, I ALWAYS stop and watch Mike's drum solo. Amazing!
I have always liked Mr Mike Mangini !! I met him in person at a local music shop and he was a guest drummer and his playing ability is phenomenal !! I wish my skills was marvelous like his ...

You Hit something right on the head
Portnoy could Not Play a lot of what MM does
MM can play everything and anything mp does , even left handed !!😂
No one appreciates Labrie's role in this performance. He went for a pizza so they have something to eat after the concert. A hero without a cape.
With all the free time he had he could buy pizza for the entire crew. And the audience.
A pizza boy
mangini scaring himself with his skill 6:49
boi, this song is on another level. Not only because of the awesome drum solo, but the overall performance of the band is really impressive💪
Lyrics by John Myung
+Jaime Rojas obviously !
Saw them live on the last tour...they played scenes of a memory....it was such a wonderful experience for me.
Super talented group,super drum solo! Wow, Wow, WOW!
Crazy amazing band. That fucking drum solo is out of control!
A superbly well-constructed drum solo. He uses every piece in the kit.
7:14 Release the Kraken!
Mike Mangini is killing it on drums. the drum solo leading back into the whole band playing got me in the feels lol
This is from a jazz drummer.... Mike is a monster!! Awesome drumming with a perfect intro back into the groove at 7:30..
Hes amazing,but i see why people dislike him compared to Portnoy ,hes too perfect and his drum sound is different,i like him more in other bands ,for thrash metal or some more extreme stuff hes a monster
Perfect performance all round! Mangini blew me away though!
The drum set is perfect!
7:19 His way to back to the song is so so so so so so AMAZING!!!
gotta love how i just thought of this song today for the first time in 8 months and then all of a sudden it gets recommended to me
That's just awesome. This is second video from DT i saw in my life - besides drummer auditions. This is what they should call a HIGH ART in music.
Kick @ss song!!! All guys amazing!!!But Mangini is out of this world, amazing drumwork....
The drum solo leaves me breathless....wow
Dream theater is God of music
Unreal how they can memorize all their music and not make any mistakes!

Back in 2013, this is the song that confirmed to me that Dream Theater were still here, and they weren't going anywhere.
the video stopped at 6:40 for me, my internet couldn't handle the epicness
That's funny!
If it stopped how do you know it was epic?
You liar.
Mangini, wait
Mangini no, wait
MANGINI
MANGINI STOP
STAHP
OMG
mangini is a great drumer so is portnoy stop complaning
Let him do his job as Midi drummer LoL

@@Koragh_
Stated more correctly!!
Portnoy is a great Rock / Metal drummer
Mangini is a Master drummer!!!
Mangini looks like he walked into an exam he didn't study for.
I'm sure he passed it though
And knocked it out of the park....
and he got cum laude .
He’s the professor.
@Kenyon Vincent 😂😂
At the next album they should have song titled Turing Machine
I was thinking this as I was watching that movie!
"There are too many notes...simply take a few out"6:15 Drum break from "Whole Lotta Love"
i've said it once and i'll say it again, mangini is one of the best in my opinion
Best Team and Family, great regards for Dream Theater... Mike brings the soul back to life again

“We’re not worthy, we’re not worthy”.

Im just glad he doesnt have Buddy Rich’s ego
this is pure perfection !

The best performance! Awsome Mike Mangini.!!!
