They played their first gig with Mangini in Rome. Solid playing from the few min I watched. Youtubes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNzHlCApjHg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX-zt_o-7WA http://www.licklibrary.com/news/2011/07/1630-Dream_Theater_play_first_show_with_Mike_Mangini_behind_the_drumkit

I like DT heavier. Portnoy was good at taking the complex stuff and laying down a groove, sometimes they were pretty cool. This is less groovy and headbanging, more wanking. A whole song doesn't have to be in freaking unison.

That thing would be next to me every single day of my life. Wow. That is just sad. I played with a guy who had a nice P Bass...it was snowing out and miserable in a Michigan winter way, I heard a knock on my door, he was standing there white faced and all he said was "Someone stole my bass"...

mike is definitely leading the way as far as marketing yourself as a drum instructor.

Bullshit.

Neil's coordination and power is leaving him, which is sad to me...but he still can put out huge energy during a concert, more than I bet all of the hip cats at HOD actually, but it's just too obvious age is catching him. He used to be much cleaner.

Your playing on the columbos boot DVD is still some of my favorite drumming to watch...and it bears repteated viewings.

Killer.

Regardless of what anyone says.

Neil on Letterman. My boyhood dream.

e lead the world in violent crime, domestic violence and a host of other not so good things Seriously? How about some of those fine countries in the middle east and Africa? Think the women there get treated nicely? Spare me, keep to the subject at hand my friend. We will never have the history of J...

Dave used to be funny, weird and edgy and freed from the stupid bonds of a big time gigantic horribly written TV show. This is from the era when I would sneak down to watch his show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnAW0ef6WA8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmtzqa5X1FQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Roy's def slowed down, but that was the best playing I've seen yet, even if it wasn't a drum solo. Sheila E is just messy and unmusical, IMO.

His playing is the absolute shit. Man, awesome.
