oh well. im a dream theatre fan. I Like Thomas playing and style... just weird interview. I don't think half of the fan base of DT is drummers ahahah made me laugh. coz we are talking about a legendary line up, as John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess, not simply musicians, considering that for decades they were the most inspiring musicians out there eheh so, Thomas, you're great, but seems like you underestimate the other components of the group

Por años busque una entrevista a tremendo musico. !!!! Gracias !

Mr Interviewer, You interrupt your guest far too much! It’s unpleasant to listen to. I won’t be listening to your podcast again.

WOW!!! What an experience!! Thank you!!!

Hace un par de años lo ví en un concierto íntimo en la Iglesia del Pí dentro del festival de guitarra de Barcelona. Salí flotando, lo fuí a saludar y agradecer su arte y aún me sorprendió más lo bonhomía y calidad humana del músico. Un grande de la guitarra española. A mi me gusta más que Cañizares, que a veces se pasa de frenada. Pedro para mí es más musical y equilibrado.

António Fidel, Fidel…..grande. Sin tí, nada hubiera sido lo mismo. Grandeforever, forever el último de la fila. Bestial hiervas de Asia.

I know Thomas since the 90's. He's so authentic and pure and funny. He is a showman for sure, but I think he is not an actor, he's just himself. As I saw/listened the audition I knew: his outfit, haircut and tongue out when concentrating and over all: promoting his own ideas... So as Dream Theater pretend to be at the edge (yes, they are great musicians) it rather seems like a business model. Well, why not, they also have to pay their bills.

Tremendo Maestro para mi el mejor esto sera un buen legado para muchos bateristas he seguido toda su trayectoria por años bendiciones

I want to live next to Thomas Lang and Gregg Bossonette or in the same neighborhood, dam!

Thomas didn't want it because he didn't get it!

Dream Theater producers were genious on that documentarie auditition. Serious good move. It was really for drummers in the fan base, and that was awesome to see a little like background stuff for audition. Thomas (after years of course) it is super nice to talk about it.

¡tremenda historia!!!, ¡grande joel!!!

Man, DT sucks

Oh wow, the change was bullshit. I'm glad I stopped listening to them. Not sure if I care about Portnoy coming back.

Loved hearing Thomas but dude the interviewer dont overtalk him man

Grande Maurizio! Desde el minuto 1 que lo escuche y lo vi tocar con Alejandro Sanz supe que este bateria es un crak

clip at 6:06 is Vinnie Colaiuta on drums, not Dave Weckl

Al cabo que ni quería.

Been a fan of Lang's from 2006 from the drummer world days

I think Thomas was the best candidate at this time. They chose Mangini for other reasons that have nothing to do with his drumming performance. I'm not saying that he's a bad drummer, but that he wasn't the most suitable, at least of the 7 chosen. Lang or Marko was the best ones.

Commercial point of view was whole audition about… like Thomas said. They can’t lose those drummer fans…

Well thought out responses from Thomas. And all proved to be true now that MP has returned. Glad that everyone who auditioned has retained there integrity. Onwards and Upwards guys !

Thomas Lang is a drumming god. Without question.

they really wanted it, they just wont admit it

i liked his performance a lot more than any other man on that audition and think that DTs music could have been a lot better with him, but as he says, musical side is just one on many aspects taken to acount.

That picture of Joel and Dave alone was worth the price of admission😉 Excellent Interview, thank you sir🙏🏼

Gracias por los subtítulos! Cuando vi el "documental", me pareció muy falsa la reacción de los integrantes de DT escogiendo a Mangini, y la declaración de Lang afirma aún más esa sensación. Como que encajó, no tanto por su habilidad, sino por logística.

Dude I wanna hear Thomas answer questions and not homeboy over talking him every chance he gets. He keeps trying to get thomas to talk shit like a high school girl too!!

and now Portnoy's back...🤟🤟🤟

And now Mike Portnoy its coming back to the band. Wha a great scam!

Sounds a lot like complaining in my book. Dude you weren't even a fan of thier music. Why even audition??? What if you were given the gig??? What did you quit after a couple of years??? Which would've been a waste of their time??? Idk you seem passive aggressive and complaining.??? That's a terrible attitude for a supposed professional musician.. 👎

I don't think it's fair to say that they were doing it just for PR or they already knew they would pick Mangini. Mangini definitely didn't seeing his reaction when they told him he got the gig. If that was fake then he is an even better actor than he is a drummer, and if he didn't then how could they be sure they would've picked him by the end. Of course I've asked myself if they truly considered to pick a foreign citizen, but the whole process looked genuine to me. Moreover I don't see how anyone could regard Thomas as "one of the guys who didn't get the gig". He did great, they said they liked him a lot, I think that was very good PR for him.

All dream theater had to do was just wait a bit for Portnoy to get his bearings back. Mangini is a great drummer no doubt, but Portnoy was family to them. They should've just waited.

Thanks, great Interview!

And he even sings well. Not many persons like him! 🤣

Saludos 🎶👍 🇭🇳

Buenísimo

Creo que se notaba mucho lo que dice al principio, que no estaba 100% seguro de querer estar en esa audición, todos técnicamente estaban aptos para estar en DT, pero creo que la banda notó no la calidad, que la tienen, sino la verdadera intención de querer estar en la banda y eso solo se notó en Aquiles y en Mike.

They still can't accept that Mangini is waaaay ahead of them and from another level. To create these fake stories and excuses for not being choosed is so bad for Thomas

Wonderful to hear how Chick was the catalyst

Gr8 interview

Thank you very kindly for this interview! Not only was it great to hear David speak about his playing, but your energy as an interviewer was also sharp, clear, and gracefully free from obstruction of the spotlight on the guest. Thank you again! 🙏🙌💥

Pretty much TL missed the assignment. He went in there only thinking about who HE is, not who DREAM THEATER is. DT fans would rip the arena apart if they walked in and saw a 5 pc kit with 6 cymbals on stage. That's NOT Dream Theater. Like he said about 7 Fold, he wanted to have a closer relationship with the producer. Well dude, you can't come into a successful band as a replacement thinking you're going to change the sound of the band. Then refusing to play along with the program. This is a BIG BAND. So of course they're going to get as much run way out of it as possible. I'm very sure this is why TL hasn't ever actually been in a band.

Je poteva dì de no, sta a rosicà... 🤷‍♂

Esta clase está increíble ❤

Poeta del contra-tiempo ❤

Craziest thing is him playing for Paulina Rubio 😂
