This thread is nonsense.

Of course, I will be participating.

I'm ranking the members by how much I'd like to hang out with them.

1. JR
2. JP
3. JLB
4. MM
5. JM (I'd have a lot of questions, but he'd be super quiet. He's too much like me for our friendship to blossom.)
6. DS
7. KM
8. -- Insert other vocalists here --
9. MP

[VioletS16]

I can't rank them all. I love them all too much. All I know, is that James is first, always has been, always will be. :

To paraphrase Star Wars:

Who's stupider? The original poster? or the person who decided to join in?

No offense though.

Ive heard Derek is quite the cool, funny guy.

I'm sure MP is fine to hang out with, based on what others have said about past meet 'n greets.

Most likely to wear colourful socks:

1. Derek Sherinian (fashion statement)
2. Mike Mangini (especially if they have a picture on)
3. Charlie Dominici (colourful, mismatched, same thing!)
4. Jordan Rudess (gift from a fan)
5. James LaBrie (gift from his family)
6. John Petrucci (just for a joke)
7. Kevin Moore (refused to answer questions about his socks)
8. Mike Portnoy (probably goes barefoot most of the time)
9. John Myung (black is not a colour)

[darkshade]

Most likely to become fat first (and I mean FAT):

1. Charlie Dominicic
2. John Petrucci
3. James LaBrie
4. Mike Portnoy
5. Kevin Moore
6. Mike Mangini
7. Derek Sherinian
8. Jordan Rudess

That's true about Derek, but it goes both ways. I just don't feel like I'd have enough to talk to Derek about, and that factored into my rankings.

MP, on the other hand, is a little bit too boisterous. I generally don't like hanging out with that kind of person.

I am embarrassed writing this post because it is so utterly ridiculous.

[KevShmev]

No Planet X/Derek Sherinian solo or James LaBrie/Mullmuzzler?

MP tops my list of members side-projects too.

[KevShmev]

I haven't listened to Planet X enough to give a real opinion on them.  I keep meaning to change that, but never do.

I like the first Mullmuzzler album, Keep It To Yourself, but don't know anything else JLB has done on his own.

[The Fatal Tragedy]

Musical Technicality
1.) Jordan Rudess
2.) Mike Mangini
3.) Mike Portnoy
4.) John Petrucci
5.) John Myung
6.) James LaBrie
7.) Kevin Moore
8.) Derek Sherinian
9.) Charlie Dominici
10.) Chris Collins

...Making this list just made me realise just how many band lineup changes have occurred within DT's career.

You should listen Frameshift, Madmen & Sinners and his solo albums.

Yeah. My purpose wasn't to offend anyone.
