I don't like drum solos either... I guess you have to play the drums..
Though, as far as they go, Mike's was pretty neat with all those samples...
When the played here, my brother and I went and bought our shirts, hats,
drinks, and found another place to stand, during the drum solo...

I usually like drum solos, ones that are well done that is. I enjoy a good
Neil Peart solo and I can really go for Dave Weckl solos! Most of you
probably don't know who he is, he is just about the best jazz-fusion drummer
out there.
Mike Portnoy is an incredible drummer when it comes to play with the band and
in odd time signatures, but you are correct, HE CAN'T SOLO WORTH A SHIT!
Sorry Mike, but it had no flow to it. I would really bet that he was making
it up and never played it the same way twice. If you gonna play once and
make up a solo, that is cool, but he probably does it everynight and it
just gets worse and worse. It seemed like he would just finish doing one
thing and then think "Hmmm... What other cool thing could I do?...Oh yeah!"
rata atatararaatatarraratatataratatat - you get the point.
It didn't have anyway near the flowing-ness of a Neil Peart solo or the style
of a Dave Weckl solo.
I would have thought that it would have been better based upon his regular
playing style and talent. I'm sure he will get better at it with time.
Keep rockin' guys!

You're not being a jerk. Although I do enjoy the drum solo. But we're all
entitled to our own opinions :) I thought the solo was very good, and
especially the way he got the crowd into it (well, they were making noise
during it at least :)

Well, a drum solo has to be ever changing and we have been
listening to the same one (or at least a very VERY similar one from show
to show) this whole time since DT has only featured a drum solo in one
tour. However taking Rush's Neil Peart for an example, his Rhythm Method
drum solo changes every year, and gets longer, more intricate, better.
Plus, he varies it incredibly within the same tours; my bootlegs are
evidence of this. This is how drum solos must be to retain excitement :)

If it will make them, use (in order of preference) TIFF, BMP, PCX,
and finally GIF.

I find any drum solo longer than 5 seconds to be annoying. I'd probably
appreciate them if I were a drummer, but I'm not, so they bore the hell
out of me.

They didn't have any shirts in Pittsburgh. Well, I'll have to try again
next time.
