MP interviews Peart, Mason, Bruford and Ulrich for upcoming Rhythm magazine!

It would be difficult to come up with original and introspective questions to ask these heros.
 
After just reading Pearts update on Rushs new record it occured to me that an interview with him could easily
stretch unknowingly from minutes to hours.
 
Hopefully we will all learn something new and exciting from each of these legends.
 
Congrats on the gig!

Mike - That issue was the best rhythm issue ever!!
thanks alot!!
just reading it for the 3rd time in 2days!!
 
ps.Saw the advert for the DVD - Looks SWEET!!!
 
Thanks again!!!
 
Superted

Mike - I can't wait to read that magazine, but it takes a long time to bring to Chile. So I guess if you return to Santiago you can have a copy of one and shared, please!!! jajaja.

thanks mike!!!

bye and merry christmas

This is probably REALLY stupid of me to say, but... I've started going grey and I'm hoping that I get a SWEET grey patch in my hair on top like MP has (look right under his cap). That just looks cool. Sorry... I know that was pointless, but I had to say it.

Well, today's the 20th so I just went downtown on my lunch hour to Barnes & Noble and of course they didn't have it on the shelf . . . grumble . . . when I called ahead they couldn't tell me if it was in or not . Wasted trip.

Same here. I was told it could take up to a month to get there (Deptford, NJ that is).

I went to Borders today and they didn't have either.

 What do they do, ship it across the Atlantic on a raft??

Not to gloat (much) but im a rhythm subscriber in the UK and ive had it for a week now - dont know if any else is a subscriber here?
ah well....call it pay back for all the times US gets DVD/CD releases before UK

This is why we left England a couple hundred years ago! So we can get our stuff faster!!

The street date in the UK is indeed today (the 20th), so I would think imports to US newsstands will take a few more days (or even a week or so...)
In any case, look for it to turn up everywhere that carries Rhythm in the coming days/weeks...
 
Happy Holidaze everyone!

I didn't find it at B&N either. even old issues. I'll prolly order it online or something.
 
 
Thanx for the info Mike!

Stopped into Borders again today. Talked to the lady in charge of magazines. She said it should be in by friday.
She's saving me a copy. $9.99 an issue. I consider it a collectors edition though so the price isn't an issue.

Gotta mark this date down somewhere - first time a post of mine was quoted by MP (albeit a crappy post - oh well)
 
Thanks for the response Mike!
 
SOOO looking forward to 2007 - new CD, tour, DT book, and "In Constant Motion"!!!!!

The thing that really gets me with you Mike, and this is a good thing - is that you are one of if not THE best drummer out there today, and yet you are humble and not a head case like so many artists in the main stream these days. I can't wait to read the article -

Merry Christmas! -Jay Poland

I checked at B&N today and was told they have not carried Rhythm in the past.  I have no idea if it's just that location or chainwide.  Best to wait a few days and call before driving to a store.  I'm going to try Borders this weekend.
 
-Kyle

Going to track it down today
 
However long it takes

i picked it up today from my local WH Smith. havnt got round to reading it yet but theres some awesome pics and a killer competition!

Anyone see the ad for in constant motion? says theres clips on the hudson music site....i couldnt find em though-could anyone else? and £32.95 int too pricey!

I saw the latest issue at Borders and B&N this week. The last page has an ad for Mike's issue. I would guess it won't be on the shelf til after the beginning of the year here, because I was at B&N in late November and saw an issue but it was the one before the one I saw this week. In other words, the newest issue just came in, in the last few weeks, thus Mike's issue will not be til conceivably a month passes (early-mid January). Unless they do something special for the Holidays with special issues like this one.

wow is all i have to say ....this has to be one of the best issues of ANY drum mag! thanks
one thing i did notice it claims that mike uses DW pedals ??
anyway it really is an amazing issue and a must have !

Crud. I just went to Borders to pick up the magazine. Unfortunately the Dec. issue is the one with Jason Bonham
on the cover. Looks like I'll be waiting until the end of Jan.
 
I did read the back cover though, where they tell you what's coming for the next issue. It mentions that MP will
be interviewing these guys and it also says...."And Jason Bittner grills Mike Portnoy"....interesting.

Grilled Portnoy, it's what's for dinner!

in terms of speaking on the cover pictures, Neil Peart looks like my father 

What a nice first post!

Just ordered the issue at myfavouritemagazines.com
 

Picked it up today at Borders on Oxford street.  Really informative, have only read the NP, LU and JB interviews but it's shaping up to be one of the most informative issues of any magazine that I've ever read, and I'm a guitarist.  Lars Ulrich's perspective is really eye opening.  Very nice work!  Mr P doesn't do anything by halves!

Sold out.. Can I buy it in store here in the Netherlands? Anyone who knowes?

Arg, sold out and we aren't even in January....

I'm so frustrated, added that they still had some just yesterday...... Damnit

got my copy today...Im not a musician, just wanted to keep up o date with the new album info!!  very informative!! a new epic eh??
 
enjoyed the letter regarding MP's visual acrobatics too!
The only thing missing from score was the spitting though... 
 
But thats what the next dvd's for right?!?!?!

Does anyone know if this is out in the US or where I could order it from (and how long it takes)?  I really want to get my hands on it now.

I've tried to find a copy, but no joy.
 
Anyone who has the mag, can you scan the article and send it to either Wey or Ma so that they can post it in the article archives?

i went to border's yesterday and saw absolutely no trace of it.

I was also at Borders yesterday and they had the December Issue still on the shelf, I asked the sales girl and she said that they are supposed to have a certain date to receive them but they never come on time!!  She also said someone else had just asked her the same question!!!  

My local B&N carries the magazine, but still have the previous issue on the shelf.

Argh. I wanted one soooooo bad, and now my chance is gone

Maybe I'm the only one who will raise this issue but...
I'll also probably get some heat about it (although I may be surprised and people will actually not be the usual blind fan-boys).

This interview, while being a mile stone for Mike and very important for him personally, is no different in essence than any other DT-related interview that took place - all/most of them usually show up in the forum scanned and no one (not wey, not Mike, etc) has ever had any issue about it yet now there is some un-spoken-of-problem with doing so?

People will buy the magazine regardless. Those who cannot do so for whatever reason (and there /are/ legitimate reasons) will be 'dead in the water' and for no real reason (because this is no different than any other interview posting).

So really, seriously, what is the problem here?

And yes, I am one who cannot get a copy of this magazine, among many in this forum.

Somebody's selling copies on Ebay.  Here's the link if it's of any use to anyone.

Did anyone pick up more than one copy? Please, PM me if you can get a mag through to me...
