Mangini seems to be the classiest type of person there is.
I am disappointed in how DT handled this ... Mangini was welcomed "to the family" - you don't cut off family like that ... He has been very mature and professional about it and I will miss him a great deal.
Doesn’t help that the band has a history of either firing members at weird times (Derek Sherinian was fired to get Jordan Rudess).
I get a few of the reasons why, but I feel that could’ve been handled better. Granted, when the late Charlie Dominici was fired, he openly said he wouldn’t blame them.
But the way Kevin Moore and Mike Portnoy quit was tasteless.
welcome to the family, i remember that. that is no way to treat your family. after he kept the band from falling apart, kept them together, made great records, and got them a gramy. F*#K Dream Theater.
@@taxconsultant1111 Agreed, they did the same thing to Derek Sherinan - they see a "better looking girl" and dump the partner that supported them and kept them relevant ... shameful
@@taxconsultant1111 I’m with you. Though I get the feeling that at least LaBrie wanted to keep Mangini on board.
Granted, I recall the pirate once saying in an interview that if the band records an album where Portnoy’s drumming style made more sense, then they’d bring him in as a guest drummer.
Now it’s a matter of times if DT records one last album (and does a farewell tour), or if LaBrie leaves at some point.
They also said Portnoy was welcome back when he wanted to.
DT does not deserve Mangini. Huge respect to the man for keeping it classy.
Mangini is such a Class Act. Major respect for Mangini.
sadly this world is a wicked zio classless place that only clings to money all by design and doesnt care about good people with class. they fired him to get por/ntoy back disgusting move.
@@SirPraiseSun yea, it's selfish
Mike Mangini is a drummer not a psychologist - but he should write a self help book called "How To Come Out Of Every Possible Situation Looking Like The Most Honourable Human Being (Ever)"
The man's the epitome of professionalism, discipline and being an honorable man... He was the perfect person to keep Dream Theater alive in Portnoy's absence. He understood the assignment, did to the very best of his top teir abilities and knew to move aside when the King himself was ready to take back the most majestic throne in all of progressive music.
Mangini is a class act and I'm sure there's nothing but good fortune ahead for his career.
I don’t care if you prefer Portnoy, Mangini was a superb drummer and in my opinion featured on some of DTs best recent albums. If you watch the original video when he got appointed, you can see how overwhelmed with joy he was. I equally love portnoy, but in some sense he made his choice and I’m saddened and surprised at how quick they were to let Mangini go.
It may be years before people truly realize, appreciate and respect what Mike Mangini brought to this band. An incredibly awesome musician and great guy to boot
Big respect in my heart for Mr Mangini ❤❤
Mangini needs to now join Rush
it would be great deal man
It would be nice only if the rest of the guys are ok with it.
Peart was too big a part of their writing. Without him, it would just be a Rush cover band. Mangini could start a new band with Geddy and Alex, though. That would be cool.
That would be very cool
@@ivansilva1580well RIP Neil Peart the man called the professor Mike was the percussion professor for Berkeley College of music so another professor in Rush can't be Neil but could be nice fit
Mangini is best drummer I have ever seen/heard. A real winner. Also personally seems to be a massive man too.
It always felt like Mangini has been more a part of the job than part of the band. He handles his dismissal with great personality which makes the current DT guys look like insignficant types. I wonder how far DT will go with the impulsive MP.
He probably saw the writing on the wall when James and Portnoy reconciled. Being the 40th anniversary tour I wouldn't be surprised to see Mangini play with them again in a show or two.
Mangini is far best drummer
Yep it's not even close
I agree with you.
To me, this is just plain bullshit.
Mangini is a great drummer and a classy man.
The day will come when the band will regret firing Mangini and when the band begs him to come back...I hope he tells them where to go.
No it won't
Portnoy needed to come back to DT because he is nothing without them. But, Mangini with and without them is ALWAYS going to be The Mike Mangini.
Portnoy made amazing music without DT, idk what you're smoking.
@@CilbraxGaming I never said he did not. But still ;)
Mangini has more class than all of DT put together! Not much respect for DT right now!
Mangini had a great gig with DT for his years there. Though I always preferred Portnoy myself, it was inevitable that MP would at some point return. They're all brothers, and have known each other all their lives really. But Mike Mangini had a dream gig many would have loved to have had, and contributed greatly to this machine.
This is really an opportunity for Mangini to get out, spread his wings, do collaborations, demos, solos, anything he wants to do now. To me, it's a win-win situation!
I'm a HUGE fan of both Mikes. And while Portnoy is my personal favorite, it's impossible not to be impressed at how much of a class act Mr. Mangini has shown to be. Absolute masterclass on how to be a truly honourable human being - apart from being one of the most technically impressive drummers the world has ever seen.
Much respect to Mangini. I enjoyed his work with Dream Theater.
I wonder if MP will slowly take back the level of control he had when he left . I think JP and JLB felt they could breath a lot more then. How long will the honeymoon last? How long is a piece of string? Full respect to MM.
I bet JP tired to handle all portnoy stuff outside produce music and tour. The band isn't only produce music and concert but all management, dealing with label, and other stuff. After portnoy departure there empty seat to handle that kind of stuff and other member doesn't want to take responsibility for that. I believe why portnoy back to dealing with that stuff he doing before leaving in 2010. Well we see their next album after 2024 if portnoy in producer we can say he got control again for the rest of DT
@@JOJOLIO77 It's a good point you have raised about all the back room stuff that MP did. However, I still believe MP is such an overwhelming personality that sooner or later, how long I don't know, the cracks will show. Perhaps that why JLB said this is the last line-up of DT. I wonder if they will play anything from MM period live and who will decide the set list? If they don't play anything from MM period I think it will show the rest of the band up as very weak. Anyway, it's an interesting situation that is about to develop.
Their first album after Portnoy left sounded great, everyone was on point, even LaBrie sounded great, almost a sense of relief imo. I too wonder how Portnoy being back in the band will change things, hopefully Portnoy has grown with his time away from DT. Either way I'm excited for their new album.
During his time on Drumeo, he did mention that he wanted to at least gain control of writing the set lists, but leave all the other work to the other band members
"A dramatic turn of events" is my favorite DT album to date. It's also the first thing they did without Portnoy. They wrote better songs without him in my opinion.
When I saw Petrucci and Portnoy on tour last year I had a feeling this was about to happen. That being said, I prefer Mangini playing over Portnoy, and I prefer the Mangini era of DT as well. I know most people find that hard to believe, but I'm a Bass Player and I'd rather play with Mangini than adjust my playing to Portnoy.
i love mangini the best drummer of all time
He had a great run and added a lot to dream theater.
honestly i feel so bad for Mangini. i love Portnoy in the band, but i dont think they'll ever go back to the glory days, and here they are at the top of their post-Portnoy era, shaking it up for "reasons"
It was simple. Two sets. One set mangini and his songs set 2 portnoy and his songs.
Portnoy already has a two seat kit…wasted chance. Maiden didnt fire Gers, Helloween didnt fire Deris…that’s how you do it.
Mangini big love🎵🎵❤️
The aliens.any other question.
I’m curious when MP will get bored again and leave…. Again. MP didn’t rush to get back to DT during his Winery Dogs tour
Actually, Portnoy wanted to come back right after DT did the first album with Mangini, but they said no.....and I was perfectly fine with that.
I am shocked to see this was an immediate exit for Mangini. What in the world happened!
Mangini and Portnoy are different in a very beautiful way
Are you reading from a blog and we are watching you read it?
It seems to be an AI Voice 😅
It’s crazy how fast 💨 that 13 years just went by ! I’m glad we got a different taste of DT from Mike magic Mangini wish him the best .
Kommt mir wie 3 Jahre vor.
Very true...time few fast... We're really old ey....😂
Go start a band that rivals DT Mangini! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have the utmost respect for Mike Mangini and the maturity and courage he has shown in this matter. In my opinion, Dream Theater has made a huge mistake. Portnoy is way too much attitude.
I hope the best for Mangini going forward and Dream Theater? who cares about them - i don't.
Mangini is a class act, and the most ridiculously talented drummer I've ever seen
He made some great albums with them. And he has a grammy with them. Can't take that away ever. He's a stand up fella.
Particularmente gosto muito dos discos gravados pelo Mangini com o Dream Theater. E suas versões ao vivo também ficaram primorosas.
Mike can go on to gig with any band at this point,.he will never be looking for a gig or session work.High Road for Mike.X
Actually DT is not like some others Bands, Mike Mangini is Lord of Drummer. And frankly I don't like Portnoy... I have never seen down to earth humble like Mangini...... ❤ Huge Respect 👍 Mangini
I don't think it's good at all to bring back MP. MM's drumming is from out of this world and he did some brilliant albums with DT, especially "A dramatic turn of events" and "A view from the top of the world" are in the top 3 albums from the band.
They rather should replace James LaBrie. Don't get me wrong, i love his voice and i love the work and afford he put in the band for so many years, but lately he can't keep up anymore, his voice is terribly destroyed and it's sad😢.
Oh please. Mike Portnoy is DT
@@AarosConcerts no, not really..
@@marioburku-drummercry mangini fanboy
@@EetFuk8 true😔
Really... first of all "A dramatic turn of events" the drum parts were written by John Petrucci not Mangini and I would not put "A view from the top of the world" in the top three... it's a great album but it's not better than images and words or Metropolis part 2 in my opinion and while i think technically Mangini is a more advanced drummer than Portnoy he is NOT a better song Writter and while he did help with the song they won' a Grammy with, overall Portnoy adds what DT has been missing over the last 13 years and we shall see when their new album comes if that is still the case :)
let's see how Portnoy plays DT songs (when DT is with Mangini), because the first time he joined, Mangini played DT songs with more class. can portnoy play DT current songs? We will see later.
I doubt it
Portnoy style on alien?? 😂
We will see…
I really want to see especially in the song THE ALIEN😎
Love the Genie but portnoy is the best!
I couldn’t be more excited to see them with Portnoy! 🙌🏻 I never thought I’d get the chance!
though Portnoy has every right to return to the band he co-founded and built to success, this "no advance notice" approach was such a shitty move from other members, in my opinion. DT would have had to take more time to take off again after Portnoy left it it hadn't been for Mangini who seemed like a perfectly instant replacement. and other members of DT should have been more grateful about it.
If Mangini didn't see this coming, that means he's an arrogant prick. He thought he was the Grammy guy in DT. Turns out, he was mistaken. I personally ignored DT after Portnoy left. They may as well have just used a drum machine. Too much emphasis on technique and complexity. Like AI or robotics. No soul. DT needed their soul back. Hence, MP's return. John Petrucci tried to run it like Rush. That didn't work. Why? Because their not Rush. People expect different set lists at different shows. That's what DT did until MP left. Because that was MP's doing (He is a Zappa fan, after all). I can't wait to see them live again. As it should be, with Mike Portnoy holding it all down.
@@morsecode2112 I totally agree that Mangini must've been fooling himself if he ruled out the possibility of Portnoy's returning. my point is, I still think that an "advance notice" would have been a nicer gesture from other DT members.
@@beefcake0354 @morsecode2112 saying he was at all fooling himself would be fundamentally misunderstanding Mike as a person. He was always clear that he was there to fill the role until whenever something like this happened. The thing is, when you make transitions like this, you don't just randomly cut a person off, you communicate. Which is the reason why he was blindsided to begin with. He obviously knew that things could change on a dime, but when you make decisions like this the right thing to do is to actually talk about it not abruptly kick someone out and ghost them. It's like shutting out your current boyfriend while you go fuck your ex, and not even bothering to tell him your relationship's done even when, by all accounts, you've gone long enough that you should be married. That's not being a good band, or a good person. That's not how you conduct yourself as a professional.
@morsecode2112 - The lengths you guys will go to, to hate on Mangini is insane.
You literally created a scenario - IN YOUR HEAD - that is 100% pore conjecture.
You admit that you've ignored them since crybaby left, which means you didn't give it a fair listen, which makes your opinion absolute bullsbut.
I did listen, to the recorded material, and the live material, covering Portnoy's era.
Mangini is much more of a musical player. He hits all the "joints", while filling in a way that doesn't obscure the band. He let's the music dictate. Portnoy plays the same old shit he's done since he arrived, and he was better back then. He peaked on Awake. It's "shallow" and boring ever since.
I will never not think that Mangini got done dirty.
Maybe we will never know the true no-BS story behind this but I hope someday that we do. MM is a class act and will always be. MP, IMHO, has a controlling ego. This is tough for me because I've been a fan since '96 but I've only seen MM in concert with them. After briefly meeting Mike at a couple of DT meet & greets it'd be kinda hard to see DT without him.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it goes with the new album and tour, but the new album better not goddamnn be full of MP songs about his personal problems. We've seen enough of that.
And I wonder if MP can perform "The Alien"....
They Let Mangini go cause they can’t fill seats cause La Brie sucks. So they bring back Portnoy
Agreed. They need to replace LaBrie.
LaBrie sucks live but he is amazing and irreplacable on the albums and that's what matters.
They can't fill seats because nobody has any money. This post Corona worl is still being navigated. Not a time to make hasty decisions.
Bro wake up and choose to spit facts in the face of people
I'm sick of James. I want them to get a new singer.
If anyone was to be replaced, it should have been James Labrie
@DreamTheater I can't imagine why did you changed a drummer like @Mangini for anybody else in the world, he is the best person/drummer that you could ever find, just to look at him in the concerts was a total spectacle. Also the way you did it was very rude... you complained about what @Portnoy did to you, but now you're doing the same to Mangini... truly I can't imagine why... 😢
they need to replace James. His singing is awful
Mangini was a total gift to DT and they seem to be taking it for granted. Don't get to make this mistake twice (DT and MP).
Yup, they still have an issue.
Well this isn’t right now. The interview that Rolling Stone did yesterday on DT said MM was ok with it and a class act about and understood where they were coming from. They didn’t want to do it unless he was ok with it and that’s one of the reasons they let Portnoy back in. So unless someone is lying, everything is ok between them
Slipnot just replaced their drummer with no dear john letters telling weinburg what changed
Hey ppl, we still do not know all the circumstances. Lets keep any judging away. All these guys are full of experience about situations like that. It could be part of the contract with Mike M. Was it surprising??? Yes , for all of us the fans! However, both Mike M and Mike P. are drummers from the beyond. Lets keep respect to the band and its members former and current!!!
Lets hope portnoy does not get bored again, mangini was such a class talented and humble and a grammy winner for DT, hate to say that DT has to lay so low as to welcome a bandmate who betrayed and left 13 yrs ago
Got rid of the World's GREATEST Drummer, and got the World's 2nd Greatest Drummer back for some reason??
After "A View From The Top Of The World" came out, James LaBrie addressed those asking when Mike Portnoy was coming back, saying: "Mike Mangini is our Drummer. The day Dream Theater decides to end, Mangini will be at our side!"
Yeah, right!
🤔
I am thrilled that Portnoy has returned, like it brings back old vibes, I am really looking forward to hearing anything from them, but seriously the band has a very rude way to treat people. We need to remember how Portnoy was originally kicked out of the band or something and I think it hurts Mike.
Forget about which Mike is best and enjoy the Music! 😁
It's the music business, this is very common, normal, expected.
This was something that would eventually happen! Before Portnoy was a drummer to Dream Theater, he was a friend to the other band members! Family!
Mr. Mangini is a very fine and decent Guy ,imho the best drummer of the world, what a pity what DT did with him...
Honestly the way they kicked Mangini out like he was a nobody made me just stop caring about DT. Used to be my favorite band years ago and now I am pretty casual about em.
Fickle band, fickle fandom…Malibu Stacy got an old new hat.
Wasted chance to do a King Crimson and have a 2 drummer show. Still, cool to see him working with fellow awesome person Jen Majura.
they could have done a genesis or crimson but didnt. tells you the vanity that temps many of these celebrities
Mangini is a first class person and drummer. Portnoy might be but comes always across as a “me, myself and I” showpuppet. And on who’s the better drummer - well that’s an open question and personal preference.
Dream Theater need a NEW SINGER
Portnoy, once called Dream Theater his baby..
I know a lot of people..
Want to read into things..
This is why progressive music makes it dispit not getting a lot of air play..
Progressive music to me is about the art not the money...
I simply respect both drummer..
As they respect one another..
Either way let listen to as much prog as we can!!!!!!!!!
Long lives Rock and roll, Heavy Metal & Any type of Rock and roll..
Well bottom line is it is business after all. John realized that he is stuck and need Portnoy and his ideas back
Just when Mangini was taking Dream Theater one tier up close to this 'Rush' level, they just fire him and bringing back the predictable/limitrd bag of tricks of Portnoy, even Portnoy's fans will realise thr huge gap that Mangini will leave when Portnoy returns
❤
100% on that take.
not everyone measures songs and the said value/enjoyment by how quick a paradiddle is. Yeah, MM is a better technician and MP has said so, but MP has a vibe and vision for music that DT is his best vessel for- MM never got that big of a say in this material. There's going to be issues and LaBrie can't sing anymore anyway and JP's writing swings between Disney and mature very often now- so I dunno if this is much of an issue for most people who were fans 20 or 30 years ago. I think this all simply fan service on some level. Maybe they cut a few tracks that are solid again. Maybe.
@colinburroughs9871 - No one said about Mangini being better because of his speed. It's his musicality. He just a more musical drummer. Portnoubis great, but he often "over-talks" and "speaks" out of context, and over the other musicians.
A lot of people love his over-playing, but it isn't everyone's cup of tea, and isn't an attribute.
@@danlc95 you're entitled to your opinion on why you like MM, I'm not contesting any of that, he's great- and MP says so too. But my point stands and... way more people judge drummers by athletic metrics than much of anything else, when people declare on the internet one better than the other, they're quite often telling you things like "I like Images and Words the most " or "MM is really fast" from the other side of the street- and if they're into the other stuff drummers do with music, they've probably moved past deep concern over DT in 24'.
Welcome to show business Mike Mangini where things easy come easy go it was a business decision - lets not forget bands on this level are not just a few guys hanging out and playing music but big businesses. Bringing MP back will easily fill up big venus and those expensive meet and greet packages will sell fast.
I bet MM knew from the the begining that he was a fill in drummer, a long time fill in drummer
listening to James sing is torture
😂
I say it's short lived..lets talk after a year of tour dates.
Not gonna happen, this will be the lineup until they retire
They'll be asking Mangini back.
it'll only work if they replace James
I've been saying this for a while. He has wanderlust, and will lose interest in a few years.
WTF? when did this happen? wow! huge news
Naja, nach so einer langen Zeit ist man schon Teil der Truppe. Und MM war ja von Anfang an mit Leib und Seele dabei.
Ihn jetzt so vor die Tür gesetzt zu haben, ist schon hart und fühlt sich an, wie ein Rausschmiß.
Ich war auch immer mehr der Musik von MP zugetan, aber das ist eine merkwürdig-denkbare Personalpolitik von dem Rest der Band.
Ich bin sehr enttäuscht von DREAM THEATER, das ist keine Art mit Mike Mangini so umzugehen mit Mangini waren sie am erfolgreichsten das war ihnen scheinbar egal
Sadly, I believe this had a lot to do with money and popularity. Portnoy will always be the bigger draw in the band. It is just the way it is. Think back when Keith Moon died. And they replaced him with Kenny Jones. It was not the same. It changed the whole dynamic of The Who. I believe it was the same with these guys. They just did not get the total love that they did with Portnoy. And that can turn into lost revenue and popularity. Just my own thoughts. I also thought that the music they created with Mangini was better, because even though Portnoy is a fine player, Mangini’s stuff just speaks to my percussion mind way more!
I had a feeling that Portnoy would eventually come back, on the day they announced he was leaving. It was kind of predictable.
yup, it was always going to happen at some point
Saya Ragu MP bisa memainkan Lagu Lagu DT era Mangini .... 😂😂😂😂😂
Dulu member DT bilang bahwa MP keluar tiba tiba tanpa alasan yang jelas dan sulit untuk mereka fahami walau pada akhirnya mereka harus menerima keputusan MP.
Ibaratnya hubungan yang masih manis dan romantis eh tiba tiba salah satu pergi gitu aja.
Banyak kabar bahwa MP agak bosan dengan gaya musik yang begitu begitu saja dari dulu dan pengen mencoba cita rasa jenis musik lain dan fresh baginya.
Lalu MM datang menggantikannya dengan segala kelebihan yang dia punya, bahkan menurut saya secara skill MM masih diatas MP. Eh tiba2 malah DT yang keluarin MM dengan alasan tidak jelas dan menerima kembali sosok yang dulu ninggalin mereka tanpa kejelasan.
Aku suka DT tapi setelah melihat ada arogansi yang parah terhadap MM dari DT, bahkan cibiran dari para Fans Hardcore MP terhadap MM.
DT tidak lagi jadi band yang aku sukai.
@@user-ct2mh3ml5w
Sebenarnya Kalo Dari Pendapatnya Portnoy Sendiri, Dia Itu Pengen Dream Theater "Hiatus" Atau Istirahat/Break Tour Selama 5 Tahun, Dari Tahun 2009-2014 / 2010-2015, Tapi Member Band Yang Lainnya Menolak Keputusan Itu...
Mereka Pengen DT Itu Terus Jalan Dalam Tour...
Karena Keputusan Itu Ditolak Oleh Semua Member Band, Akhirnya Dia Keluar Dari Band...
Mangini is better. His playing drums for me is more interesting. I can't understand why this exchange 😱
Ok I love the original lineup.even the singer.but anyway.play the aliens.mike portnoy.portnoy. I'm having a hell of a time myself.
Mangini gave a new flavor to DT but they missed the previous taste. Well, that's business in general.
I believe the one and only reason they brought MP back was due to lack of ticket sales. I’ve seen DT about 25 times over the last 25 years. I saw Mangini about 5. As great as he is, unfortunately, it’s extremely boring to watch. MP brought the heart, soul and energy to DT. I stopped going to their shows the last 3-4 years because the shows weren’t entertaining, Labrie unfortunately, can’t sing anymore and charging 125-200$ a ticket is outrageous. If prices were 40-50$ then ok, but anything more is way too much for a boring performance with a bad singer. MP, at least for the first couple of tours, will fill seats again.
Just my opinion.
it'll only work if they replace James
This is a cheap shot by DT
Mike Portnoy will leave again. Mr Mangini: Thank you for you service and you deserve beter.
The Alien is a good example of overplaying by Mangini. His drumming is spectacular but there are some spaces that would have sounded better with feel and finesse, but instead here comes another rapid fire fill....like a fucking machine gun. Congrats that they won a Grammy, but that song has never grown on me after 30-40 listens. Portnoy’s return will add feel and finesse to some of the writing.....Mike Mangini thank you for your contributions!
Portnoy is sloppy as fuck.
Or you are amateurish in your perspective. He plays the drums to what the song requires. There are far many more songs you could make this claim about concerning MP. Why don’t you stick to pop
By the way, you people who use the vague arguments of feel, fines, and groove are the worst people to comment on music period. You are literally telegraphing to everyone how musically illiterate you all are
I call that BS!
You're literally describing Mike Portnoy's style to the "T".
Your opinion also indicates you haven't really LISTENED to what Mangini is actually doing.
Portnoy is not part of the grammy, and he's not part of the 40 year history together either.
mr Mangini was there to help the band when the band strugle to continue, respect to mr Mangini
its a good lession
music is a business
one day youre in...the othher OUT
Who narrated this? Good lord. Half of this didn't even make any sense. But if DT is going to replace anybody, it should be Labrie. His voice is toast.
Why the AI voice? Ugh 🤢
They should replace Labrae. His voice is done. Su ks
So dumb that they allowed the antsy Mike Portnoy to come back after he left the band for dead after bcasl. Who’s to say he won’t get cold feet again after a year or two? So dumb!
Done with dream theater. This was extremely douche thing to do
probably mike portnoy has a terminal disease 😮, so he want to say goodbye with the original band, maybe that’s why it was so sudden and unquestioned
Yeah it’s called being old
@@notsomoody5338but 60’s are the new 30’s 😂
BS
Or they may still be paying portnot royalties on every show and sale, and it is getting expensive to pay two drummers (one total hasbeen and another a total gift to music).
@@FathomlessJoy whoa that’s a good theory
I stopped listening to DT's any new albums once they fired Portnoy.
I refuse to pay for tickets as long as James is still in the band
You missed some AMAZING drumming, my friend.
Stubborn....
Portnoy ditched the band and joined A7x you dumb
Portnoy's a waste of time. Dreamtheater is now a waste of time.
they just need to replace James: it's so horrible hearing him struggle like that
@@DanyNMacF - I'd rather hear that than someone else's voice.
Just get Mangini back and be the most progressive band that ever existed. It won't happen with Portnoy.
@@danlc95 I think they will find it out quick. The band has progressed with Mangini and I doubt Portnoy will have the chops. Just wish they would have shown some class with MM, because he seems to be complete class himself.
Yes and davinci oughta use a finger instead of a paintbrush
Portnoy's going to need something just to keep up with the has been stuff.
I won't lie, I only liked a few songs on their first album with Mangini, one or two on the second, and then I didn't listen to anything after that. Crazy to think DT was my favorite band when he joined. I'll definitely start listening again without Mangini.
Yeah.. Mangini drumming is too expensive for your ear to hear go cry
@@musiciano8608 I listen to more technical and better drummer than him. His style is just boring. I'm glad he left DT, so I'm obviously not crying.
I don't like the drummer you fanboy over. Go cry
Here let's take out the hi performance engine out and put the old stock one back in . 🥱
Truth....
Why would Portnoy not be a high performer for you?
This move is not about only the drumming aspect. DT’s music was simply better during the MP years. He contributed a LOT to the overall songwriting. I agree that MM is definitely a more “hi performance” drummer than MP, but that’s about where it ends.
You mean the heart and soul of DT? 💀 go back to bed child. This is a conversation for adults
All the Portnoy fanboy triggered by this simple comment 😂
Petrucci and LaBrie... they always made bad decisions, and firing Mangini after 13 years of mega success and profitability, is one of those selfish decisions. Too bad. Shame on you DT !!!
