Shit. Buddy texted me, been out of the UM loop and das bort entirely since the fall for some rough personal shit I wont get into right now but I had to come back to add to the chorus. Kris is so pivotal to UM (his singing doesn’t get nearly enough credit either), it’s going to be a very different band without him. Thanks for the memories Kris.
Welp, someone get on the horn to Gavin Harrison…
Remember when we all used to joke about Isaac Teel from Tauk replacing Kris?
Isaac if you’re reading this…. I’d be fucking amazed
It was never a joke to me bub
Now who’s gonna yodel on T&D?
Hope things are getting a little better for you 
Glad to see you around
Hedberg? cause I’m all for it just like my stance on frilly toothpicks.
Hey, check this joke out. If you want to talk to me after the show, I’ll be fucking surprised.
Will the band…
They’re corny as hell. Definitely updating lyrics.
They will change lyrics. Jake will grunt. Dozens of people will go wild
It’ll be hilarious when they fuck it up.
Plant, Seed, Light JEFF WAF…
Relistening to NYE run 23 and Ben honestly fits in well just like I remember. The Kitchen jam is pretty solid
Whoever takes over is gunna take some time to get used to the intricacies of each song, but this band will be fine
Edit: so is the 3x. Smooth
Is Mike portnoy on the table? Like do people even still go to see dream theater live in 2025
They have shows starting in 9 days, I wonder what the game plan is and when they’ll announce whatever it is.
He was pretty awful the one set he played with UM. I hope he’s not being considered.
Honestly they need to take a step back and cancel some shows and regroup. One poster’s opinion
Don’t disagree with this but also feels like this has been a long time coming and I’d be surprised if they didn’t have someone picked out already.
you know they do. They wouldn’t boot myers until they were set
Dave Grohl? 
All kidding aside, one can hope for a Danny Carey stand-in appearance for now
Would Stewart Copeland do a one off show? That would be some good prog type stuff.
