Great!!!

well...at least there are SOME networks that still know what music is...

Hell Yeah!

"Squeeze my lemon til the juice runs down my leg, squeeze it so hard I fall right outta bed."

That's tight!

Why So Serious?

yeah VH1 classic is THE music channel thats still awesome IMO.

WOOT!!!! Congrats Mike and the guys, and man I can't wait for the Score DVD.  It's always been my dream to see DT with a symphony.

Hmmm, I wonder if the band has any input on what gets included in the condensed version.

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! This is awesome! Thanks Mike and JP. Funny thing is I'm always watching VH1 Classic to try and get a glimpse for a random DT video or something. I'll keep an eye for this for sure.

This is one of the greatest things since sliced bread! I wonder if Eddie Trunk had anything to do with this?
Regardless, it is money time for them! You can't buy better advertising that this! Besides, many people who don't know who DT is will now possibly be exposed to them and become rabid fans like all of us, er just me.

This is awesome!!!! How often does DT get a spot on a major television show?!!

-Peace-

Sweet!

Hopefully somebody records it

You rule MP!

ARGHHH!!!! No VH1 here!!!

I knew my TiVo would be put to good use soon!!

Awesome news!!

OMG, I am gonna throw up I am so excited   Thank god for TIVO!!

Good luck MP. 

I work in cable ad sales, and when I find that ideal match of business and network (golf shop advertising on the Golf Channel, card room ads on WSoPoker on ESPN), I always tell the business owner how every person watching their commercial on that network is a qualified prospect.
 
That's definitely the case for DT being on VH1 Classic.   Rush got tons of time on VH1C for R30, and DT deserves no less.
 
Well done, guys.  I'll be watching.

I just put it on season pass on my tivo so I don't miss it even if it is on another day. Grats DT, you deserve this in the worst way.

Well I'll be jiggered.
 
Is this something you approached and made happen on your own Mike or did VH1 approach you?
 
Very cool.

Mike....you are the shit!!!!!!   AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
 
Can't wait to score SCORE!!!!!!!!  

awesome!

Awesome, I don't have VH1 classic, but I might be able to find someone who does.  Hopefully, that would be a day that they give a free preview on cable

Eddie rules...I actually sat next to him at the RCMH show.  Chris Jericho was a few rows behind me as well.

This may be as Big Time as DT has gotten since they played PMU on MTV back in the day.
I really think this is a big deal for you guys, and hope it brings in many more disciples to The World of DT.
 
Since I'm pretty sure VH-1 Classic is probably watched more by old farts such as myself than the younger crowd, I'm expect you'll be reaching a whole new audience.
 
 
Now, do I watch the Friday night teaser, or wait four more days to get the whole thing, and then wait three more days after that, because I promised to watch it for the first time together with my bro-in-law, since real-life caused him to miss the show?

Yeah someone's gotta record this. We don't have VH1 Classic... :( Stupid Adelphia...
But thanks Mike, I'm excited for you guys to be getting some much deserved exposure!!

Still, and forever, a Mike Portnoy fan first and foremost. Rock on Adrenaline Mob!

Thanks for the heads up MP, I just hope when Scores released I can afford it, no cash as usual

This may sound like a stupid question but...
Does that mean you also had control over what songs are on that mp3 stream? Cause that is a great lineup (doesn't spoil the "big" songs like Another Won, Raise The Knife, SDOIT, and Octavarium).

I've walked with the weakest just to feel strong.
You've given your body... just to belong.

Nice! but...

Can anyone record it for me? (Mail me please!) I think that i can't see it in Germany

Damn, I'll be at Miami till aug 24... and here @ Dominican Rep there's no VH1 Classic... too bad too bad...

I had one of those for lunch today!

What a fantastic reason to stay in on a Friday night!

I heart Eddie Trunk.

"What's the most important thing in life? Being free of obligations. Otherwise, you lose the ability to gamble." -Setzer Gabbiani, Final Fantasy VI

Very cool. I have always thought it would cool to have Eddie Trunk interview DT in the VH1 Classic studio. Who knows, if this goes well, perhaps when the next studio album comes out they will get to come back and do a whole hour on the show "Hanging with" (which for those who have not seen it, is longer interview sections mixed with videos by that artist). 

What I am Listening to

Aww man, and I will miss it. 

I will try to find someone with satellite TV who could help me with this, but up to now all is saying that I'll miss this incredible premiere.

OK So I know I have VH1, but how do I know if I get VH1 classic?? I have Optimum online cable whatever the hell that is, IO I think??
 
Anyone in the Jersey area let me know!!! This is Awesome!!

i aint missin this for anything, great exposure.
 
hopefully there will be some viewers that "get in to" that might not have known about you guys.
 
are there gonna be any other showings of DT/Score coming up anytime soon?

Looks like I'll be upgrading to digital cable in about 2 weeks... heh!

Great news, Mike! Fantastic seeing you guys get some kind of mainstream media exposure again!


Now... who's gonna torrent this for those of us that don't get VH-1 Classic?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about sharing the recording. Any mods or DT drummers care to set the ground rules for that?

Can't wait to score SCORE!!!!!!!!  

I never can not understand this language and american culture???Now If mike is the shit,how that means he is like awsome You guys use really bad word but it means good Interesting.

I don't think this'll be OK to torrent though, as it would be a part of the official release.  It definitely wouldn't be allowed on dime.

You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.

Awesome news. The DVR will get a workout that night. But do I watch and spoil release day the following week, or do I try to save it until I've already seen the full version? Decisions, decisions.

Thanks for allowing us to have this wonderful problem, Mike.

DT on TV!!!!!
 
Great music on a music video channel, like it was in the old days!!
Way to go Mike

MP, are sure you wanna do this?.... you will have to hire bodyguards after this show...

Thanks for explaining...

And..... DT will be on VH1 Classic...That's great news!!This month is full with DT's suprises..The new DVD is coming soon already and today's news make me feel great!!!!!

Thanks Mike

One word - COOL!!

  

Shucks! I don't have Cable....guess I'll just have to wait a whopping 3 days to buy the whole thing. Good promotion and all that....

Why is everyone worried about missing this?  I hope you're talking about the interviews and not the condensed version of Score.  Just buy the DVD if thats what you want .

Like to fish? Live in Northern Ohio?

That rocks! Yeah, yeah! Rock, rock, rock!!!

Score!  That sounds sweet.

 Badass!!!!

This sucks!!!  I have VH-1 and not VH1 classic.   Aaaaaaargh

That's great!!!  For a while I've felt VH1 classic is by far the best music channel on TV.... this just makes it that much better. 

Mike, you're the best, Im looking forward to Score though I won't be able to catch you guys on VH 1  

I wonder if VH1 Latin America is willing to broadcast this...

Not likely...

Will this be on the DVD?  That'd be a good substitute for the commentary.....














I keed.   Good to see DT getting the exposure they rightly deserve.

I'm so happy for you guys, you finally get what you deserve after all these years of hard work! You all deserve a special 'thank you'.  James you sound incredibly good, MP you've made a hell of a DVD, JP played so tight, JM can finally be heard very good in the mix and gets his well deserved solospots, JR is balanced (on a gleaming razer edge :P) as ever and has improved his sound since the last DVD. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 

Revising my first post in this thread:

I hope that someone records this and ONLY the interview part could be recorded and share
