@cmlguerra haha yes i'd say that is an acquired taste... Portnoy is actually the only reason i got into dream theater. I only listen to the drum parts, eased my way into the parts with LaBrie (but still really only listen to Portnoy's drumming). After a while, got used to his voice and in some songs, seemed alright...
@tambourDOM ahahahahah, yeah labrie voice is too ´´female´´ for my taste i would like to see another kind of metal voice in dream theater, a more powerfull voice.
i love portnoy and i am sad that i did not stayed in avenged sevenfold cós they did a great job in ´´nightmare´´ and avenged sevenfold are the band of the moment and will be probably the best in future years, portnoy did right to leave DT cós they died 5 albums ago.....
@mtcameron3 don't worry... the video says "Portnoy Only" so you will find comments from people who likes portnoy... if you search the other videos (petrucci only, myung, rudess) you'll find comments about them... and yes, all of them (DT) are just incredible musicians... I think they are "one of the best" in each of their instruments... DT... JUST THE BEST !!!
Im depping with a DT tribute band tomorrow night so thought Id better check this out coz they open with it.Ill Got the 4/4 bit Ill just busk the rest.
I'm speechless. Portnoy doesn't have to be a super insane technical death metal drummer. His style is unique, by far the most creative way of playing I've ever heard.
And yes, DT without MP is BS (hopefully not) I heard Mangini's playing. He's a beast, but he's not catchy...shame..shame for DT..
The camera guy on this video needs to be shot! I swear, I'm watching this video to see Mike play! Not look at those chimes or close ups of the side of his head! Let me see what he's playing DAMNIT!!!!!
I know people say DT will not be the same with MP, but just you watch. When they release that 1st song with the new drummer, people are gonna be blown away. They aren't gonna put out a slow song, there gonna release a fast kick-ass song to show everybody that they can be the same band with a new (maybe even better...that was hard to say) drummer. I'd just wish they hurry the eff up and say something about the guy already.
i still can't comprehend the fact that Portnoy left :/ .. I just can't see a Dream Theater withouth Portnoy.. It will never be the same, i think. Hope to god he comes back :)
@flyboy3d Exactly! I've watched the posts with Mangini in Rome and although he is a great player it's just not like with Portnoy! Mangini might be more technical here and there but his drumming doesn't have Portnoy's flow and musicality. Portnoy's drumming has been tailored according to the progressive approach within DT since forever while I feel that Mangini has a more of a rock, heavy metal approach. It's just as MP would play with Anihilator: he wouldn't sound as Mangini.
@flyboy3d Dream theater will never be the same with portnoy or without portnoy. Portnoy was aweosome but after that he just created boring music. just listen the two last album. Now portnoy left and mike mangini is the new drummer so there is no a composer boss. that mean the new music is totally different. listen A Dramatic Turn of Events, pretty progressive, great disc, I give one dic more to mangini to show us his powerful abilities.
@seigolon oh Im well aware that their last 2 albums have sucked pretty bad. I actually look forward to how the band will change with mangini in it. and in my opinion, mangini's skills far surpass portnoys.
the one thing I have hated about dream theater for the last few years is the fact that portnoy was a freakin creative natzi. I know it was him that wanted to do blast speeds, which he kinda sucked at. I know it was him who wanted him and petrucci to growl in the songs.
Portnoy is the coolest guy ever to loose sticks loool...one of the best, creative, tecnician, and powerfull drummer all time!!!
