portnoy was very tasteful (subjective), but he does not have these skills.

mangini has 4 brains or he is wired wrong. i am not a drummer, but it easy to see throughout most of this solo that each limb is playing something different and different time signatures. whether you find it tasteful or not is irrelevant: his skill is unmatched.

and to be fair to mangini, he did not compose the drum parts on the new album. the next album will show what he can do for DT.

@nengstro if i could'nt read then i would;nt write my comment nor answering

open your mind

@TheOsirix12 Nice caveman english dude..... I HAVE read who is listed on all DT songs, I have all their albums. And petrucci, myung and Portnoy are listed as composers on 99,9 % of the songs, some songs lack ruddess, and quite a few lack Labrie´s participation. What I am saying his HOW MUCH he contributes in the songwriting... to get an idea about that you have to READ articles and INTERVIEWS with the band.... Which I have, and you havent (can you even read?)

[nengstro]

@TheOsirix12 Doesn´t contradict what I wrote initially.... Okay, maybe "some of " the lyrics which I wrote is slightly different than "significant". Still Petrucci have written more of the lyrics. AND, to the point, as to THE MUSIC (which in my book is the key writing in DT, them being a prog rock /semi-instrumental band...). The main riff writers are Petrucci and Myung.

@nengstro before u say something stupid here is a part from wiki:"Portnoy had been writing a significant amount of Dream Theater's lyrics"

[TheOsirix12]

@nengstro i see u real fucking idiot...portnoy were with dream theater from the first album to the black clouds &silver linings

now you say mangini is better then him you fucking dumbass

And about it portnoy write thier songs and petrucci helps him just go and watch who wrote thier songs on each song u fucking bitch

[nengstro]

@JOEtheHOTTIE I know 4 other Mangini fanboys. The ones that CHOSE him as their drummer. If you don´t trust their judgement you are not a true Dream Theater fan. I am though a DT FAN, even a "fanboy" if you like, WTF ever that means... Not accepting DTs ability to assess a drummers capacity and creative potential, and stubbornly sticking to "the old and known", that, my friend, makes YOU a portnoy fanboy! Lol

[nengstro]

@TheOsirix12 Fucking moron, go away! He did NOT write most of their songs, Petrucci did. He alongside Myung writes 90% of the material, with ruddess doing arrangements and his parts. Portnoy wrote the LYRICS on some songs, but not as often as Petrucci. And Portnoy added some vocals and arrangement input, but very limited as to compositions. I am so SICK AND TIRED of all Portnoy FANBOYS exaggerating his importance to the band, just cos he co-founded the band, and was one of it´s spokespersons!

[TheOsirix12]

mangini is boring compared to portnoy

mangini is just a fast drummer i dont feel anything in those solos

portnoy means alot all this time in all albums i like really like

to be honest not because portnoy left

the new album drametic turns of events really REALLY sucks compared to the older albums

thier music style changed as portnoy wrote almost all thier songs and style

now i see the diffrence,,,,sadness

@nengstro your the one who don't understand anything, being able to do something is another thing and being a good musician is another thing.

for example, metallica is not hard or very technical but it they are great musicians and their music sound really good and is consider by many as legends and even popular musicians mention them as their influence
