Besides, if you're gonna go somewhere, then just do it. Everyone has different politics and all universities around the world have a lot of vigorous debate.

In the end it was a contest between Mike Mangini and Marco. He was asked if he was ready to be employed full time, as DT is a "full time" project. He wasn't. He didn't want to commit 99.9% of his time to Dream Theater, so they went with Mangini. Minnemann was my favorite, too, by a long shot. In my opinion he would have been a breath of fresh air, as opposed to Mangini who is too similar in style to Portnoy, while also kinda worse overall (except for raw speed).

I really think they screwed up picking Mangini, as fine of a drummer as he is. I just think that Marco is what they needed to inject some soul back into the band's music. I haven't heard anything I like from them since Portnoy left, and I've really tried. Mangini can play anything, but he plays it like a robot. I know that's cliche now, but it's true.

I've seen once Marco playing for Kreator. God it was amazing, that guy tooks everything to another level.

He did an interview about it saying how they made his jam session with the band look like he auditioned for the band and he clearly didn't. He also told them to take his audition down because it wasn't an audition at all, they just made it seem like one and he wasn't happy about it.

there's no question. Mangini is certainly great, but he's not like Marco Minneman. And the fact that we could have had a Dream Theater with Marco Minneman, and now we don't, makes me depressed.

Coming back to these tapes nearly a decade later and I can't help but feel like they took the safe option, someone that would just play the parts, not fuck it up and have decent chemistry with, there are better and more creative drummers here that would have changed the DT formula too much and DT are very much a band resting on their laurels releasing the same record for a good 15 years now. A fun documentary, but they only ever wanted someone to play the parts given. I can't imagine the albums we'd have got if Marco landed the gig.
