Damn Petrucci who I used to hero-worship as a guitarist looks like he has more facial hair than face. Glad to see my other mentor in life back FINALLY. MIke gave me the guide lines to drumming +25 years ago. Petrcucci before that cause I started with classical quitar when I was 12. Swithced to drums as my main "instrument" around 2004 perhaps. Life long fan from Finland and a fellow musician aswell. Nice to see MP back. Not the original line-up, but the best one. Derek Was really good likewise with Kewin Moore. And thanks to the great Mangini from these years. I was really into his stuff before DT's line-up change and he was a great filler, just DT was not anymore as much to my liking without Portnoy's input in composing. Mike Mangini; all the best for you in future. Maybe this was a blessing.. Edit: my hero-worshipping of dream theater went a bit too far and got a tattoo on my calf as a reminder in the form of DT's logo. That was before MP "left" the band.

Two of the greatest drummers. Mike and Mike. I’m sure that sometimes he comes and visit on a live show and fans would be welcoming mangini for a jam. That’s who DT is. Like family no matter what. 👍🏻 Welcome back Mike Portnoy

I did not see this coming at all. While DT put out some incredibly solid albums with Mangini behind the kit, their classics were with Portnoy. Also, huge props to Mangini for being a good sport about the lineup change.

He got 13 years with a band many others would have loved to play with for even one album. I don't know the circumstances behind his leaving... or his true feelings on it. I mean, DT did say some years back that the line-up with Mangini would be the last, so there's that. Clearly, something changed along the way. I wonder if, between hearing what Portnoy was doing with bands like Sons of Apollo (so much of that same MP-era DT energy and creativity in those two albums), his work with John Petrucci on the solo album, and then his work with Liquid Tension Experiment 3... I wouldn't be surprised if John and Jordan didn't start to miss that spirit in DTs work and that got the ball rolling. Or.. maybe it was already in their heads, and the JP and LTE albums were them "testing the waters" to see if the chemistry was still there.. And then James LaBrie and MP being able to make amends was the final test... which of course they both passed. Whatever the case... I'm glad they found their way back to it, and he's now rejoining. I'm ecstatic about the news... both as a fan, and for them as friends. A great day for Dream Theater fans.

@@twocatsgaming6628 Can you elaborate on LaBrie and Portnoy making amends? I love the band but haven't been in nearly as deep as I was back in the Octavarium days. I wasn't aware they'd had issues, although I vaguely remember Portnoy understandably expressing some negative feelings back when the split happened.

It's a shame the albums under Mangini were underwhelming. Mangini was never the weak link in the band and his drumming was definitely the highlight of those more recent albums. Dream Theater more suffered from Portnoy's lack of creative input rather than just his drumming in my opinion. Also LaBrie's age has definitely affected his singing ability this past decade, I really wonder if this reunion will be enough to return the band to their former glory.

I just read about Mangini's upcoming solo album. Glad for him. Read he was colaborating with Jen Majura on the vocals and some others known as some not so known artists. So many "independent" great musicians nowadays that open a whole new world of possibilities I think. Majura, MacAlpine, Kiko (?), etc. Besides, a new culture for such projects and such talent!! Can't wait to see what comes out, gotta stay positive...so happy for Portnoy, he's my favorite all time drummer. Now there's something to be done in the vocal department.

Super thrilled🎉 I honestly don't think there's a "better" drummer. Both were great in their own ways. The Main thing for me is Portnoy's contribution to songwriting and lyrics. All his songs had some real teeth. Nothing against Petrucci's writing style but his songs are more about faith or love. It'll be good to get a new brain in the writers room again.

Like others, while I feel bad for Mangini, who is an amazing talent, MP’s return was bound to happen eventually and most hardcore fans have been biding their time, waiting for this to happen. More importantly, DT just hasn’t been the same since MP left. Yes, they wrote some decent songs but nothing legendary like the albums with MP. Now that I got that out, can we talk about how Labrie has practically lost his ability to sing? What are they going to do with him?

I think MM always knew that MP was going to return eventually. It wasn't like the band had any turmoil or drama. MP simply wanted a break from DT and the band didn't want to take any time off. He's had his time away and now he's back. MM is coming out with a solo record in November (How's that for timing?) I've heard a couple of cuts, I like it and I'm looking forward to the release. Something tells me MM will be just fine.
