Heavy Metal Soap Opera (The Mike Portnoy vs. Dream Theater Saga)

[setsuna7]

They could get Joey Jordison and be 5 J's...







I will promptly commit seppuku if Jordison gets the position.

+1

It would kinda make sense, being as he drummed and growled on James LaBrie's new solo album. He's certainly got the chops.

Maybe he could re-record some of Portnoy's awful grunting.

 

[prh]

according to rumours (who knows/cares) wildoer didnt get it, nor did virgil donati

but he would be a sick fit, hes got the prog metal chops for sure and could take backing vocals and DT's metal side that one step further

I think im one of those rare breeds of human beings that actually likes Portnoys growls

 

[glassmoon0fo]

harrison, wildoer, and donati are all out of the running apparently.....damn im losing hope for the turnout of this whole thing

 

[WickedSymphony]

Maybe he could re-record some of Portnoy's awful grunting.

Or they could just be removed altogether.

Also, regardless of who the new drummer is, I'm really curious to see the band dynamics on stage next tour. Portnoy was easily the frontman of the whole thing so I wanna see what changes there.

 

[DLG]

i was hoping for Jarzombek, Mangini is great though.

Either way, lets not forget that there were four other people in the band other than Portnoy who have been helping to create shitty music over the last decade.

Geez, you know when you've eliminated 3 drummers of that caliber, whoever they picked must be absolutely stellar.

Gene Hoglan? Dave Lombardo? Bobby Jarzombek? C'mon!

 

[Islandjam2990]

I heard that Dream Theater was just gonna break up, and they were gonna go on as Nightmare Cinema once again.

'Trooch da drummah!

 

[bostjan]

Jordan could be the new Nightmare Cinema bass player.

 

[The Munk]

Marco Minneman or Thomas Lang would be good fits as well for the seat.

 

[Xaios]

Dave Grohl.

 

[Xodus]

Lars Ulrich. Then Portnoy joins Metallica, but not full time, just to get a break from A7X.

Harrison didn't audition and neither did Jarzombek. Not sure they were interested at all to start with.

Curious, what is your source of information regarding who auditioned?

 

[Kyo]

I won't be getting into those as some people have sadly proven to have a hard time being discreet about these things.

Disregarding any sources and potential "final seven" lists floating around, Jarzombek was in South America at the time of the auditions. And quite frankly, the idea that a drummer like Harrison would leave his very successful current band to join DT for what is quite likely to be just a temporary thing just doesn't fly. Common sense, people.

 

[DaddleCecapitation]

Mangini?

or MAN GENIE!!!??!
