Dream Theater Drummer Auditions

If it was hard to imagine Dream Theater without co-founder Mike Portnoy on drums, imagine having to go out and find a replacement. Of course, we now know 6 years later that DT did successfully fill those enormous shoes and the new guy is absolutely phenomenal, but I found the audition process fascinating. Personally, I'd have chosen the German guy.
 



 


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    DT should have kept Portnoy and replaced LaBrie.

    Thanks for posting that Dave!  Although I have a lot of work to get done today, that was a fun hour or so.
     
    I can definitely see your position about Marco, but I think it was the personal background that Mike already had with the band that swayed the final vote.  Regardless, after I finish with my ELO kick (yes, ELO, not Eloy who I finished with two days ago - LOL), I'll have to have a Dream Theater day now.

    I like watching Marco Minneman with The Aristocrats, he always looks like he's having a such a great time
