This past Monday, Dream Theater informed fans to go their Facebook fan page on Thursday morning to find out how they could get an “exclusive look” into the band’s process of replacing drummer Mike Portnoy. Well, fans who went to the fan page at 11 am found…a trailer.
That’s right, the band has posted a trailer for what looks like a new reality TV show competition film that is documenting the entire audition process. PRO: the trailer includes each drummer who auditioned. While for some they reason decided not to include name captions, Mike Mangini and Marco Minnemann (both of whom who have been rumored as the new replacement at different points) could be spotted in the trailer while the rest we personally didn’t recognize.
CON: not only did they still withhold who the actual new drummer is, but the trailer simply ends with “Coming Soon.” That’s right, not only are we forced to wait again for an official announcement, but we don’t even know how long of a wait it’ll be!
At this point, Dream Theater’s lack of talking is becoming as annoying as Mike Portnoy over-talking. This entire thing is aggravating to us, and we’re not even huge Dream Theater fans. So imagine how pissed off true diehard fans are at the moment! But of course, we’ll keep you posted when more is revealed. You can check out the trailer for the documentary over at the band’s Facebook page (in the section “Drummer Doc”). If you recognize any of the auditioning drummers, let us know in the comment section below.
