As excited as I am for the return of Portnoy, I am gonna miss this lineup so much. Mangini is such a fun, great guy and absolute one of one drummer in his own right. Thanks for everything Mike, and welcome back Mike!
I'm right there with ya. I think they should keep both and give each their own songs. Maybe we could get bonus tracks of Portnoy's take on a Mangini tune, and vice-versa. 😂
@@tretansakera_war250 Hell yeah! I'd love to see & hear Portnoy play this amazing instrumental! Mangini did extremely well with DT! He's a fantastic drummer!
What the fuck noobs! Did u even listen to the former dream theatre drummer Mike portnoy..?? He is still the drum living legend... ... Go watch him. first
I love Mangini's facial expressions during his solo. He looks like he just woke up from a coma and is thinking "is this drumming? I hope this is drumming". He's a great performer.
Not sure about now, but he used to have absolutely insane let's call it drum kit. It was basically a big room (garage alike) with so many drums everywhere that all the cymbals were hanging from the ceiling because there was no room for them to stand on the ground.
Dude, I'm high as shit on edibles and I now get what the drum solo is about. It itself is part of the "meaning" in the song, a story of espionage and a plight to gain an edge in a war without end. His solo is them cranking up the Enigma Machine. It sounds like a chaotic locomotive almost with bells and whistles, and pistons that churn while it computes. Then it starts to build, gets more and momentus and starts to resolve not melodically but rhythmically, with the polyrhythmic limb pattern near the end. Finally there's some even churning, before a "pinball machine sound effect" type of final result, where the decoded message is finally spit out of the machine. God dammit Mike, people need to appreciate what you bring to this band a little more.
Always impressed by the way Myung looks like he's out for a stroll while playing 20 complex notes a second. He always looks more relaxed than Petrucci.
Let me tell you this, I have the DVD, and a little bit later, I saw him struggling ( meaning a frustrated face) in Breaking All Illusions, a little bit later in the concert. Maybe he sometimes feels like the years are getting on to him.
Shreyan Roy Too true. I hope to be as good as him someday. I am a child prodigy, not to toot my own horn but I have been playing since 2. Honestly, I think I can do most of his stuff. Just not the one handed toms. And floor toms. I can't play as fast as him but I can play really fast.
Mike Mangini's drum set is so batshit crazy, you have to love him just for that. Of course, being one of the best of the best drummers helps as well, but that set...
@@victorbrownlow5477 I'm guessing he's showing everyone he can play this stuff on a smaller kit. There's actually people that think a big kit makes you automatically play better
I saw that video, and actually made a comment about how glad I was that Mike was picked. I think that Marco looks almost spastic in that audition. No offense to his playing, but I don't agree with his style of visual entertainment.
I seen Mike Mangini live with Steve Vai and thought to myself...Steve found someone as good on drums as he is on guitar. What a concert!!! Mangini is amazing. On another level that only years of practice could get you.
Llevo escuchando a dream desde el liceo, y la primera cancion fue The Glass Prision, y me senti identificado de inmediato con su estilo, desde entonces no he parado de seguir a 5 personas con una genialidad musical impresionante e innovadora. Adoro cada disco que han elaborado, cada uno con detalles increibles en cada instrumento. Gran grupo que alimenta la sed musical del alma.
Been following Mangini for years, he is outstanding. A modern day Terry Bozzio..and the coolest guy you ever want to meet..very humble. My favorite ever!!
I have always liked Mr Mike Mangini !! I met him in person at a local music shop and he was a guest drummer and his playing ability is phenomenal !! I wish my skills was marvelous like his ...
I love Dream Theater, and I was heartbroken when Portnoy left. However, Mangini is starting to grow on me. I'm convinced there is stuff he does that Portnoy couldn't replicate. They're both great, but I am excited about the new era of Dream Theater drumming to attempt (and fail) to master haha.
Hes amazing,but i see why people dislike him compared to Portnoy ,hes too perfect and his drum sound is different,i like him more in other bands ,for thrash metal or some more extreme stuff hes a monster
Neetigya Saxena That is not true, music created with this level of precision in mind requires massive amount of effort to memorize. That said, the reason why they remember this all is that they practice and perform hundreds of times every year.
He can really pull off some amazing vocal solos, insane how he can make his voice sound like guitars and keyboards, you almost wonder why he isnt just an acapella act!
A notre époque ou tout est simplifié, ces musiciens hors pairs continuent de faire de la musique purement géniale et hautement composée....Un immense bravo et admiration ! Quel solo magnifique de batterie de Mike Mangini ! ( de la part d'un batteur-compositeur "pro" et prof de batterie ).
I'm pretty sure if you want to "break the fourth wall," you gotta look up from your fretboard at least once! Bless his heart, at least Mangini knows he has the best job in the world.
Sound like you are going to battle Elite Four Yes. Elite four Myung Elite four Mangini Elite four Jordan Elite four Petrucci And pokemon Champ James Lol
Impossible to hate Mangini, this is not the question, he is an exceptional drummer. To replace Portnoy by Mangini, would be like replacing Petrucci by Satriani, Vai or Morse for example. No one doubts their quality, it just would not be the same, I'd lose another piece of Dream Theater soul.
So Dream Theater replaced a drummer named Mike, with... a drummer named Mike. I don't imagine things like that happen often lol. Regarding the 2 Mike's, I enjoy the drum work of both. They're different, but awesome in their own unique ways. I know a lot of DT fans prefer one or the other, but I have no preference; I like both drummers equally.
before watching this video i thought portnoy is better but now.... no one can play single storke drumsolo like mangini. from one of your fan in korea. (i am not good in english..)

Nevermind how cool the drumsolo was, that transition back into the song was flawless!
Its crazy how no one else said anything else about it

Exactly

I´m gonna miss Mike Mangini in the band, he was awesome!
Yeah me too....
Guitar God, Bass Ninja, Keyboard Wizard, Drum Genie
MLG JESUS And than there's LaBrie.
Drum (Man)Genie :D :D :D :D
Dream Theater RPG when
Guthrie is guitars god
Josi Sediel gutrie is a session and studio god but petrucci is a rock metal progressive solo live shred melodic god

Heyitsbacon LOL.
+Heyitsbacon Unfortunately, his hair makes him look like a member of Spinal Tap.
lol yes
" I like drumming!"
this is wicked when your driving your awesome muscle car down a hwy with a awesome car stereo and realize that you doing 130 MPH
"How many kick drums do you want?" - Mangini: "Yes."

I truely love Mangini’s polyrhythms, he is the specialist for it. Great work!
Not sure what is more amazing...the playing, or the memorization.
Mike Mangini is like an Octopus with his open handed playing..what a monster drummer he is

Sounds about right.
Taking “telling a story with a drum solo” to the next fucking level!
🤣🤣🤣........ yeah your definitely High
😱😱😱
This is simply awesome! Thanks for sharing.
By the way discovering great songs of DT is like finding forgotten 20 dollars in jeans’ pocket

One pick vs 4 fingers /s
Wow. A stage full of incredible talent. Mangini is the man.
I hear that the US Naval Observatory sets its Master Clock to Mike Mangini's right leg.
hahahahaha
Yeah, that's just the problem - his playing has no feel.
Gregg Hudson he said himself, he wants to play exactly same as the album. wr cant blame him for that
@@LETSTALKENTERTAINMENT yea i just assume if mangini’s out and portnoy comes back in, how hard would he manage to cover mangini’s parts
@@gregghudson8872 hhhhhhhh
The drum solo created another dimension in space itself *_*

MrNicko OD I think we want to see your videos now :)
Well then you have never seen me play.
MrNicko OD I would really love to see you play. I'm a 15 year old guitarist and John Petrucci has always been my main influence.
If you think you are so good, post a comment with a link to the video.

compare this drum set to this current tours drum set like wtf happened

@@hanginon1293 yeah bigger kits won't improve your technique
Mangini's Enigma solo is ferocious. Just like all of his performances. One of the world's best drummers. Plain and simple.
Glad they got him. Filling Portnoy's shoes ain't easy and he does it pretty well I'd say.
Rodrigo Sanchez Nice to finally see some positivity in DT comments about Mangini.
I saw that video, and actually made a comment about how glad I was that Mike was picked. I think that Marco looks almost spastic in that audition. No offense to his playing, but I don't agree with his style of visual entertainment.
Insert "Portnoy was better" comment here
Marco is a fucking monster, best drummer out of the auditions by a long stretch.
I seen Mike Mangini live with Steve Vai and thought to myself...Steve found someone as good on drums as he is on guitar. What a concert!!! Mangini is amazing. On another level that only years of practice could get you.
Lyrics by John Myung
+Jaime Rojas obviously !
mangini scaring himself with his skill 6:49
MM's technical prowess is unmatched. What's better is he plays and sounds like MM, and no one else.
I don't know about unmatched but yeah
TC is correct. Unmatched. At least that we know about.
Bozzio might be able to pull this shit off, but as much as I love him I'm really not sure.
@@Cuzjudd
He is one of the best alive today
Some day someone will surpass him..... possibly
Drummers were not this good in the 80', 90 etc
Give one who can much his technical ability

dolan plz
You're exactly right. Eddie couldn't touch these guys cause he's so high above them he couldn't reach down that low. : )
You need to learn how to "think properly" if that's possible ...which I doubt very much .....ha.
cosmo copus Define properly?
Everyone of these musicians are just incredible
best drum solo ever
7:14 Release the Kraken!
That guitar sound is unbelievable. And John Myung’s playing is off the hook. These guys rock. Period.

No matter how many times I watch this video, I ALWAYS stop and watch Mike's drum solo. Amazing!
Mangini is an absolute monster! How is it possible??
At the next album they should have song titled Turing Machine
I was thinking this as I was watching that movie!
JP and his guitar never disappoint. He will be always in the top guitar players in this world.
7:19 His way to back to the song is so so so so so so AMAZING!!!

You Hit something right on the head
Portnoy could Not Play a lot of what MM does
MM can play everything and anything mp does , even left handed !!😂
boi, this song is on another level. Not only because of the awesome drum solo, but the overall performance of the band is really impressive💪
Perfect performance all round! Mangini blew me away though!
This is from a jazz drummer.... Mike is a monster!! Awesome drumming with a perfect intro back into the groove at 7:30..
Hes amazing,but i see why people dislike him compared to Portnoy ,hes too perfect and his drum sound is different,i like him more in other bands ,for thrash metal or some more extreme stuff hes a monster
Saw them live on the last tour...they played scenes of a memory....it was such a wonderful experience for me.
Mangini’s absolutely amazing!!!
Super talented group,super drum solo! Wow, Wow, WOW!
Mike Mangini is killing it on drums. the drum solo leading back into the whole band playing got me in the feels lol
Kick @ss song!!! All guys amazing!!!But Mangini is out of this world, amazing drumwork....
True masters. . .
playing instruments effortlessly
Mangini another level
The drum solo leaves me breathless....wow
A superbly well-constructed drum solo. He uses every piece in the kit.
BEST. SOLO. EVER
"There are too many notes...simply take a few out"6:15 Drum break from "Whole Lotta Love"
the video stopped at 6:40 for me, my internet couldn't handle the epicness
That's funny!
If it stopped how do you know it was epic?
You liar.
The drum set is perfect!
No one appreciates Labrie's role in this performance. He went for a pizza so they have something to eat after the concert. A hero without a cape.
With all the free time he had he could buy pizza for the entire crew. And the audience.
A pizza boy
this is pure perfection !
WARNING! Do Not Try This At Home.
i joodoe nobody can do this
🤣
i joodoe LOL
The best performance! Awsome Mike Mangini.!!!

Stated more correctly!!
Portnoy is a great Rock / Metal drummer
Mangini is a Master drummer!!!
They must be aliens :) DT 4 ever and ever !!! The best.
Nope. Most people said they're cyborgs. Except James, he's human 😂
That's just awesome. This is second video from DT i saw in my life - besides drummer auditions. This is what they should call a HIGH ART in music.
Best Team and Family, great regards for Dream Theater... Mike brings the soul back to life again
LOVE YOU bangeeeeeeeet Dream Theater ❤
Neil Peart is alive on Mangini's groove, as Buddy Rich is alive in his drum solos. And haters, they just don't have a life.
R.I.P. Neil Peart
Im just glad he doesnt have Buddy Rich’s ego
gotta love how i just thought of this song today for the first time in 8 months and then all of a sudden it gets recommended to me
The drum solo 🤘🔥
i've said it once and i'll say it again, mangini is one of the best in my opinion
The riff starting at 3:55 made me love this track.
definition of art music, perfect !!!!
SUPER FANTÁSTICO, GRANDE TRABALHO!! HELLO FROM LISBON... PORTUGAL
I can play his solo on 6:12 - 6:14
25 or 6 to 4
😄
Mangini looks like he walked into an exam he didn't study for.
I'm sure he passed it though
And knocked it out of the park....
and he got cum laude .
He’s the professor.
