Thomas Lang is a drum beast!
I don't recognize many people on those pics, but cool nonetheless!

Carpe Diem !

Is Ripper still with Yngwie?

Total awesomeness! 

Is that a yellow submarine on MP's shirt?

chicks dig prog

Wars of Jericho! \m/

That Jericho pic just reminded me of one I have with him 10+ years ago.

Love the one with Dave McClain.  That guy doesn't get enough credit for his drumming IMO.

Awesome pics!

9pc Tama Starclassic Performer DCF, Gibraltar rack and Sabian cymbals.

Nice shots!

It's cool to see Tal Wilkenfeld among the greats.  She's a phenomenal bassist.

Seeing all these pics really just makes me that much sadder that I couldn't go to NAMM this year, though.

I write about music and stuff.  You know, just for fun.  You can read what I write here: http://relativepitchmusic.blogspot.com

The one with Chad Smith and Jericho owns!
Haven't seen MP and Chad Smith together before, wonder if they're mates?
Even though I haven't heard MP enjoying any RHCP material for years I'm sure he would agree that Smith has got a great sense of groove going...

This is my new signature. Enjoy.

You are absolutely right. A very fine drummer.

Who's Nick Rich?

Nick Rich,would be the son of the late great drumming legend Buddy Rich.

"It had to have balls" MP SC Spe Ed.

^

Correct me if wrong, but it's Buddy's grandson is it not?

Just that Neil Peart wrote a bit in Roadshow about him and Nick, Neil seems to be pretty good friends with the Rich family.

All right... At least he's a relative of Buddy Rich.

I could've guessed it...

Nice pics! :)

4 - 8 - 15 - 16 - 23 - 42 - Are you lost??

Looking at these pics, just makes me wonder about all the colaborations MP might be working on in the future??!!!!!
 
MP with Glenn Hughes or Tal

MP & Thomas Lang; Fuck Yeah.

I've been friends with Chad for at least 15 years now....

Cool Pics.

If the picture didn't say Chad Smith, I would've taken a quick glance and said "Oh Will Ferrell's at NAMM."

That'd be a fucking METAL band!!!!

Dayum does Dave Ellefson look old! He lost some weight too. Granted its been years since I've seen a picture of him, but still...

Helluva setlist MP!

 

I hope these shows are being documented for some sort of future official or Ytsejam dvd release for those of us not lucky enough to have attended...

These shows have nothing to do with DT so I'm sure if at all they would be released through MP production and not Ytsejam records !

That's good news!Do you still listen to RHCP these days Mike?Wonder if Chad gave MP any low down on what the current state of the Chili Peppers is?!
Furthermore, WOOHOO I got a reply from Mike Portnoy, time to die happy now!!!Haha
Ahhh to have friends like MP does would own!

This is my new signature. Enjoy.

Can't wait to see you in Foxboro, Mike!!

I can't imagine anyone being able to record a song from that show at all.  Way too metal and too much headbanging going on to properly hold a camera.  Ah to have been at that gig...

Portnoy

I'm shocked there's no footage of this on You Tube....???
(you guys are slippin!) 

That's because I wasnt there shooting it for everyone.  As I mentioned to you on Friday when I saw you at the Tama Booth, that place is TINY!  I would have had to wait for hours to secure my spot in there.  I'll wait until you guys play out in LA at a bigger venue to tape it  =)

I believe the reason the Lazy Tomato Entertainment subdivision of Ytsejam was created specifically for Side Projects.  If anything, it'll come out on that, I'm sure.

Me: "JIMMY NICOL!"
MP: "OH MAN!"

 Well, if there was any footage on youtube, and it got posted here. Wey would throw you out head first of the forum, because it's against some rule. Happened to me :(

-We need some more Rockjuice!

I'm amazed that John from SOAD is actually showing some degree of emotion.  That dude's face is usually set in stone.

Random Child: New album, "Isolation" out now! http://randomchild.bandcamp.com/

Smith, Dolmayan, and Lang?

Darn lucky MP...

Hehe, yeah. In interviews he reminds me of a broken refrigerator, kinda.

I see Andy Dick and Howie Mandell in there. Cool!

I am joking.

Carmine Appice and MP are the only ones that I can ID out of that whole bunch.

How about a roster?

Chad Smith (RHCP/Chickenfoot) is next to Mike.  Steve Smith (Journey) is the bald guy all the way to the right in the back.  Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall) is the guy in the Zappa shirt.  The guy on the bottom right is Joe Bergamini.  He was a senior at my high school when I was a freshman.  He was in the Broadway company for the Billy Joel show 'Movin' Out'.
