the dillemma of being Mike Mangini : Most of DT song was composed during Portnoy's era.. yet Mangini will be obliged to play some of it during the concert. If he plays with his own creativity, someone would shout at him : "why dont you play like Portnoy".. and then if he plays tight (as Portnoy play), others would also shout at him : "why did you play like a robot".. skill wise, no one ever could argue Mangini's skill.. he's a professor, drum player for multi-years, ever held the most hit in a minute, and also he has good attitude.. So please stop comparing both of them.. just enjoy and respect their music after Portnoy's era..
Who cares, now they know what giving creative liberty to Mangini can bring... DOT is one of their best albums and it comes mostly for what he brought up to the album. Pale Blue Dot idea came from him
Wednesday mike mangini is objectively an exceptional drummer. this is literally just nitpicking, and to be honest it’s getting ridiculous. personally, i think it’d be cool if people considered looking at mangini for who he is as a musician, instead of making constant comparisons to portnoy.
Absolutely love everything Mangini did, especially the little jam session they had! Hes so unappreciated! What an amazing player, never seen anything like him!
LaBrie still has the ability to sound really good at a live show, the problem is that it only takes about 10-14 shows during a tour to totally wear out his voice, and his vocal chords don't recover like they used to. On top of this they play 2-4 shows in the same amount of days in most cities they go to which doesn't help at all. I had the pleasure of seeing them live at the 4th show of the European leg of "The Astonishing" tour and he hit every single goddamned note perfectly, it was amazing as fuck. If you want the best DT experience see them early in a tour, when they're still fresh and have had a while to recover from the last tour.
He hits the notes flawlessly but otherwise he sounds like he's wailing which.. sucks. early 90s James was epic and I could put up with him after but after Portnoy was booted.. I only watch when drunk n nostalgic
if I were in his position, I would not use my voice on tour except for showtime. I'd get some post it notes or an ipad and write down if I need to communicate. people pay a lot of money for tickets to see these guys, they deserve a good performance no matter which part of the tour it is.
I don't know why people still arguing about those 2 Mikes. I mean come on man, it's 2018, it's been 8 years and you guys are still talking about that shit? If you hate one of them's playing, just don't watch or listen. Dream Theater chose Mangini for their drummer, they wanted him. And yes I don't like his drums sound, but what could I do? I'm just a fan, even though I'm screaming "Brings Portnoy back!!" a million damn times, Portnoy won't be their drummer again. It's useless. So I must adapt to what Dream Theater has now. We must adapt. Peace.
Both great drummers are great i agree.It's all about what you prefer.Portnoy was more flashy in concert but did make mistakes and dropped a lot of sticks but still gave interesting music to his performance.Mangini is more technically skilled and makes little to no mistakes and some people liken that to being too robotic.
Mike Mangini is a phenomenal drummer and when he respects the material Portnoy composed over the years, his execution sets him apart. It's spot on without any of the inconsistencies Portnoy has when playing live. What I particularly don't like about him as a drummer - and that's true for anything pre-DT as well - is his "stylistic" choices when it comes to coming up with drum parts. It's less about "how can I complement the music in an interesting way?" and more about "how can I make this look impressive from a technical standpoint?" and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that me and a lot of other people don't like this approach. You gotta understand something about Mangini: nothing about his playing is traditional. You understand this a lot better when you play drums yourself. If you want me to draw a parallel, take any guitar player and compare it to Tosin Abasi from Animals as Leaders. Even the way he thinks about guitar as an instrument is completely out of the ordinary and that's what Mangini is all about. That's why you get comments from people saying "Wow, he can play this with one hand" or "Why does he have to have so many hi-hats?" In short, Portnoy approaches drumming from a musical standpoint, playing within the constraints of his own technical limitations. Mangini to his own mind also approaches it musically, but his mindset is on another level that musicality to him might have an entirely different meaning and that alone makes him a niche composer that not everyone will enjoy.
argue all you want about the two Mikes, one thing's for sure, Mangini looks like he's living the dream - just look at his smile. and listening to this makes me smile too! if you are unhappy with what you're hearing then just skip this video, simple. cheers y'all!

@@MrBamcito yes I agree with you.. and its all up to you to accept current DT or not... but if you insist and shouted at them to bring Portnoy back, sadly I'm sure it won't happen dude..
James... what are you waiting for? Waiting the end of songs beetwen JP, Mike Mangini, Jhon Myung and Jhon Rudees? Hahahahaha....... very nice endings.... :)
These guys are from outer space lol I still miss Portnoy, but what can we do, it was his choice and the other members picked Mangini as the new drummer and life goes on... Portnoy still maintains a close friendship to the other members of the Band...
The problem is that during the Mangini era, all the production (and that includes the final drum sound) was by John Petrucci. Unlike when Portnoy was there, they both supervised the mixes and obviously Portnoy had a very great weight in that area.

The smile of dawn arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home
The night shed a tear to tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow
Death is the first dance, eternal
There's no more freedom
The both of you will be
confined to this mind
I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try
I was told there's a new love
that's born for each one that has died
I was told there'd be no one to
call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world
You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire
As a child, I thought I could
live without pain without sorrow
As a man I've found it's all caught up with me
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid
Somewhere like a scene from a memory
There's a picture worth a thousand words
Eluding…

So please stop comparing both of them.. just enjoy and respect their music after Portnoy's era..
pokoknya honestly it’s all BS. I wouldn’t know the difference if they put on a blindfold.
Who cares, now they know what giving creative liberty to Mangini can bring... DOT is one of their best albums and it comes mostly for what he brought up to the album. Pale Blue Dot idea came from him
Agree, but actually this is kind of one of the best performances i've heard from mangini!

Basically he had this ability..2011 2012 labrie was very veey good..but nowadays you cant hear him with pleasure

That cup holder on JR's keyboard stand is the best thing ever :P
Who else thinks this is the best song of Dream Theater? It's just a masterpiece
04:30 what a transition in ambience... in a second you are no more in metropolis. You get across the parallel universe
Dream Theater's best performance with metropolis song after the 2000s. and the mike mangini is very amazing drummer!
Agreed, he nailed the parts.. i dont understand why other fans hated him..
Muito Loucooooooo!!!!! Dream Theath é muito top, não tem melhor! Sou fã dessa banda.
September 2022 masih suka dan menikmati sekali lagu - lagu dari Dream Theater , God Bless You
its always so cool to watch Mangini play
John myung is the icon for this band.
It's really nice to grow up with DT. Especially when there still together, they play really good music,
Um brazuca bem na frente!!! ❤👏👏
9:11 man that Latin chops on Mangini.. he's amazing!
Best jamming parts
Such a GREAT band... Smooth and technical...
4:38 san francisco. i remember that pyramid shaped building. midtown madness.. gta san andreas.. i love that city

OUTSTANDING, so good. Thanks for sharing. - take care
Some of us still arguing the drum auditions back then in 2012... lol mingini still good... just enjoy the song... its dream theater btw. 😍😍😍
back then in 1994, i was 3rd grade, that was the first time i listen to this song, now i still listen to this
It’s quite simple.

We like familiarity.
We like to get what we expect.

Mangini has his own identity, his own style, and his own techniques.
So enough bitching and complaining about what was and start enjoying what is.
Vocals were spot on
Did the forget there was a bass player, there are only like three shots of him in total.
Love DT. Their fans, not always.
Grande Mike!!
James labries voice is great here.

We need fans like you...man SALUTE for the words
True dat
"This Portnoy guy is too sloppy"
"He doesnt have the same technical proficiency as Mangini"
@@Ryan-qn1wr no one says that about mangini tho. Basically everyone says that mangini is technicality wise better but he just has a worse groove.

Mangini plays realy clean ☺
I like n love dream t☺

That drum set tho…

Only us dream theater fans would complain about having mangini as a drummer...
Yep. World class drummer...lucky to have him.
It's not as good as we thought I guess. I mean, come on, he is not very creative.
Lucio Contreras I disagree he’s very creative easily one of the best drummers of all time.
You nailed it Jake!!!!! FuKn hilarious
IM NOT COMPLAINING!!! and im the biggest dream theater fan ever!!!!!
8:16 the hell is that guy doing with his life?
@4:40 - aha. that's why the bass drops out. myung is tapping it :(
Honestly its realy hard to replace drummer. But i appriciete mangini to be perfect pattern of songs. The songs not easy dudsss
Mike ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What's All the hate about? I think it sound really good!
they dont like the drummer
I don't know what they did with the sound,
But the drums don't sound punchy enough
Something which people love about this song
They cant move on
