Guys, it’s pointless to compare Mangini and Portnoy. Both are world-class drummers with their own super strengths and unique styles unlike no other. One Mike will never play the other Mike's work better, and the same can be said for both.

The Enemy Inside is one of the first Mangini Era songs I thought of that are right in Portnoy's wheelhouse. Even the parts as played by Mangini remind me of stuff Portnoy plays anyway. Breaking All Illusions and The Enemy Inside are the two I want to see him play most from those 5 albums.

Sadly, back in the very early days he had such bad food poisoning that when he was vomiting, her actually hemorrhaged a vocal chord. The doctors told him he needed 6 months at least of not singing and pretty much not even speaking for it to heal properly. The band was just starting to become successful and instead of taking the time off, he went out on tour. And his voice has suffered ever since. In hind sight, maybe he should have taken the time off, but would the band have survived?

I don't know what people expect. Portnoy is unique and Mangini is unique as well. They play each other's parts their own way. Mangini changed some parts as well, sometimes not the best way. So this is just a pure example of two individuals playing the same song on their own style and musical approach. Come on people, don't have to hate any of these gentleman.

Did I expect Portnoy to play Mangini's part exactly? No Did I expect him to play it close to the original with his own flare? Yes I also expected at least 4 Mangini songs in this set. They honestly only played this song, because This Is The Life hardly counts as a drum song.

@SokolRock Ай бұрын

"because This Is The Life hardly counts as a drum song." You make it sound like Mike Portnoy is the "new guy" who needs to prove himself as a drummer. Are you out of your mind? Besides, this is an anniversary tour (at least this part) where preference is given to older songs, including those that they haven't performed for a long time. Also, since Mike is making set lists, they will be constantly changing and maybe you will still hear what you want.

@drdandalf Ай бұрын

@SokolRock I meant I want to hear how MP would interpret MMs parts and have him demonstrate to us why bringing him back wasn't a mistake. I am currently speculative when I didn't want to be. Night terror was the first step towards my speculation. Him not playing hardly anything from MM era is the second step. I'm genuinely hoping you are right, but my recollection of DT tours during MPs time was that they had at most 3 interchanging sets, with a core backbone that remains the same. I just want to hear like 3-4 more MM era songs to feel this is new DT and not Nostalgia-DT

@SokolRock Ай бұрын

@@drdandalf "and have him demonstrate to us why bringing him back wasn't a mistake" This, without any proofs, is clearly not a mistake for many reasons: 1. Mangini was obviously not a fan-favorite drummer, which is obvious from the pro/con ratio in the comments. 2. It's also obvious that DT has lost a lot with the departure of Mike Portnoy, not only in terms of drumming, but also in the quality of songwriting and production too. 3. Do you see how many comments there are under the audience recorded video of their first concert with Portnoy? If this was the first concert of the next tour with Mangini, then there would be no such hype and you know it. In fact, with Manjdini the band only gradually lost popularity. 4. Portnoy is one of the founders of Dream Theater and his signature sound has always been one of the most important elements of the band's identity. So for me, the very question of whether he is worthy of being accepted back is extremely ridiculous.

@SokolRock I did not say he has to prove himself to be "worthy of being accepted back". And although I too believe MPs way of playing the drums is more lively and enthusiastic than MMs style of playing, it is purely subjective to insinuate he was not a "fan-favorite", or that DT lost their quality in song writing or production. Just because a song isn't as catchy doesn't mean their songwriting diminished. Music production-wise, there is a lot of evidence on the contrary that it improved. Again, I want MPs return to be filled with euphoria, but right now... I feel it's just nostalgia-bait, and it didn't contribute anything substantially new and impactful. I want to hear MP completely dominate MM-era songs. I want new DT music that doesn't have to follow the same riffs, formulas and simplicity that was evidenced through BC&SL (the song Wither literally talks about this). Night Terror didn't really fulfill that. It sounded like another DT song, but with typical MP fills. I know MP can do better, and I know DT has way more up it's sleeves. I am trying to be hopeful, I really am.

@@drdandalf " it is purely subjective to insinuate he was not a "fan-favorite" As I said, you can just see how many people support Portnoy in the comments (and likes) and how many would like Mangini to stay. There are a lot more fans of Portnoy. "...or that DT lost their quality in song writing or production." It is impossible not to lose quality if one of the main co-composers, co-producer, backing singer and lyricist leaves and the band doesn't replace him with anyone (As Mangini himself said, he was just a drummer and there wasn't even talk that he would do something else in the band). "Again, I want MPs return to be filled with euphoria, but right now... I feel it's just nostalgia-bait" Again, this is an anniversary tour. It's not about something new, but about celebrating their legacy. By the way, do you know how many Mangini-era songs were played on their XXX anniversary 10 years ago, when they had already released two albums with him? Two. "Bridges in the Sky" and "Behind the Veil" - and they didn't change the setlist back then, it could only be shortened for some festivals. "I want to hear... I want new DT musiс...." I want, I want, I want... So what? What made you think that the band owed you something? If you don't like it, don't listen and don't go to concerts. What is the problem?
