I'm not a huge DT fan but I like some songs and I've seen them live.
I honestly thought that this was never going to happen since their breakup was pretty ugly and public.
But here we are. Should be interesting. I do think he's the right guy for the band.

Damn, I had to look that up, because it figured that news would be everywhere. I swear, I thought Billy was pulling one of my stunts

Never thought I’d see it.
Sucks ass for Mike Mangini.

Slightly OT but Portnoy is going to be filling in on drums for one of the nights of Umphrey McGee's new years run. That should be pretty cool

Mangini > Portnoy
I have been a fan since Images & Words but Mangini is the complete prog package.
Portnoy wants so desperately to be Peart but he lacks the taste and restraint.

I don't get the negativity some have towards Portnoy. I love his playing style. I don't think he lacks anything.
Obviously, Mangini is awesome too.
Both are great drummers. But I think Portnoy belongs in DT. That's as close to the original lineup as they can get.

There's a bunch of DT songs I like, although the singer is not to my taste.
This news made me want to get ready to listen to their new stuff.
