Outshined, congrats για τη συνέντευξη, πραγματικά πολύ ωραία. Είναι ευχάριστο να βλέπεις ότι παίρνει συνέντευξη κάποιος που ξέρει το συγκρότημα και θα ρωτήσει και το κάτι παραπάνω, παρά ο τυπικός δημοσιογράφος που θα επικεντρωθεί στα ίδια και τα ίδια.
Νομίζω πάντως ότι ο JLB ήταν πιο συγκρατημένος σχετικά με το γνωστό θέμα στη δική σου συνέντευξη. Τώρα σε σχέση με τη συνέντευξη του JR που έγινε ντόρος (περί MP police), ίσως ο JR “ξέσπασε” σ’ εκείνη τη συνέντευξη. Πάντως και οι 3 που έχουν μιλήσει (JLB, JP, JR), τονίζουν ξανά και ξανά ότι πρόκειται για συγκρότημα και ότι το συγκρότημα είναι πάνω απ’ όλα και όχι κάποια προσωπικότητα, κάτι το οποίο είναι και το πλέον λογικό.
Σε άλλα νέα, μια ενδιαφέρουσα συνέντευξη του JR στο musicradar.com: http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/dream-theaters-jordan-rudess-on-a-dramatic-turn-of-events-491674
Επίσης, οι JLB και JP σε συνέντευξή τους στο γερμανικό MH άφησαν κάποιες νύξεις για δικαστικά προβλήματα με τον MP.
Παρακάτω, παραθέτω τη μετάφρασε που δημοσίευσε κάποιος στο DTF:
[SPOILER]Mike said he likes to take a break, after 5 years or so the band will come back stronger than ever.
When everyone else refused to take the break, he said "ok then I need to quite. I don’t feel connected to DT anymore !"
John P did try to convince Mike to stay. The band said that he is doing a huge mistake and the AX7 gig is like a affair and one day he will be overtaken by the reality
Around 8 weeks later, after AX7 and Mike separate ways, Mike has send an Email to DT asking for rejoining, which the band refuses (They had already selected MM and where wondering how in 8 weeks the passion for DT did came back)
The interviewer (Metal Hammer) is asking:
"So to take revenge Mike is now suing you for a lot of money, claiming share of ownership of the band’s name"
James: It is correct that there are some legal issues which we need to sort out. Fact is that Mike took a lawyer and we have informed ours. We are are not allowed to share more"
John P: at the end theses are some private issues which we should not talk about in public. Fact is we the band own Dream Theater’s name/brand
Interviewer: It must be a real torture as musician to have to deal with these kind of issues:
James: the times of friendship with Mike, when we where friends and would hug each other and wishing him success for the future are definitively over. He needs to clarify everything via the lawyer now, there no other way. It is unpleasant but he did decide to take this path and now the judges will have sort things out "
John: I don’t see a massive issue/deal. These things are part of life, no matter if you are a cookie seller or musician
With regards to the new album:
The Interviewer: "The situation for James did not significantly changed. His demand to have more involved in the lyrics was not approved"
James: Well, for this album, I have submitted 3 lyrics but for some reasons only one was picked up. You never know, maybe the other two will be reconsidered next time [/SPOILER]
