I don't really care how he behaves on stage. If he keeps playing like this: happy holaknopfler

Yes but it looks like a childish behavior when you're a high profile musician, it looks like he's so bored with MK songs that he has to do that things to be entertained...

Normally, he does all that things looking at McGoldrick, I recall both looking at each other and laughing.

And yes, he's playing is terrific.

Yes, in several videos Mike is looking at Ianto and laughing.  Now we know why  :lol

I observed Ianto and Mike goofing around a lot during the 3 shows I attended in Italy. Seemed more like fun and games than boredom though, as their music remained spot on. Ianto's addition is the clear highlight of this tour in my opinion. He is soooo much better than DC, without even appearing to try very hard. Better even than Chad Cromwell.

Lol.  I can assure you it's all just a bit of fun. Nice to see them being so comfortable out there. If it was through boredom I honestly don't think they'd risk any wrath from Mark. Lol

It isn't boredom I can tell you. Although he has fun he has to concentrate very much! They all have to:-)

IMO, Ian and Mike are enjoying the moment, and I don't see any disrespect towards Mark.  They (as well as other band members) also engage the audience at times.  It can be quite fun!  ;D

Agree with you Lis! In Zwolle Ian stood up after his introduction and waved and the place went mad;-D Great moment. He really adds something to the atmosphere.

I like Ianto very much.
He is playing absolutely great.
And he is a funny chap too. That's what we need and what I like.

MK had a few drummers.
Pick was good, really
Terry was average, not more
Omar Hakim on BIA-very good
Jeff Porcaro and Manu Katche on OES- there are/were no better drummers on earth
Chris Whitten on tour: I liked his drumming-very powerful, especially on Sultans
Chad Cromwell- also a great drummer-I was sad as he leaved after the Australian SL Gigs
Danny- average drummer but great chap
Ianto- Also a Top Man on the drums-glad he joined the band

I posted the same pictures and videos to Guys forum but he decided not to publish it, as I sent him other post after that is already published.

Looks like Guy doesn't think its funny  ;D

Hi guys - post about MK's drummer. Had to add an answer.

Nothing really funny in those videos if I can give an opinion. Read somewhere that he - Ian - acts like a 15 YO teenager and have to agree with that. I don't think this was deliberately disrespectful to Mark's music

Actually: the first one moaning that Danny wasn't in anymore was me I think.

Now this tour has almost ended I have a little more nuance:
On some songs I prefer Danny, on some songs it's equal.
Ian uses the cimbals a little too much to my taste (subjective, matter of taste)
No one can beat Danny on Speedway.

I do like it when musicians play on stage. If you are that talented that you can play music in the most excellent way and play around a little during the performance, then you are really good! Besides that, I think that being relaxed on stage adds a lot to music. Maybe some more mistakes, but the feel of the performance is better.

Conclusion: yes I miss Danny, but I can live well with Ian.

Nick, when Danny comes back , you re launch KTGA ? ?  :think
I know your feeling about Danny and I respect that.

About the pictures, I mean , Mark In total concentration playing with feeling and soul........than you may wanna pick another moment to shuffle ,a drum stick in your nose, maybe during his introduction, you have the most eyes on you ,
and to give the others band members a laughter when Mark is in his music and playing is a bit disrespectful .

Off course I love to see some fooling around .........but again , there are other moments to do so !

On Ianto's defense I also like to point to this moments during R&J in Lucca,
where he sings along with the lyrics , and seems to be sucked into the song.
Bravo Ianto  :clap

when we only point to funny/strange moment the weight will be too much on that only imho

see e.g:
@3.11
@5.31 - 5.46

They San to be a happy bunch, a million miles away from all the stories about the OES tour, so we should be happy for that.

ian thomas seems to be a really nice chap and a funny guy. what's funny to me now is the fact the he fucked up postcards from paraguay twice in a few weeks. not that mistakes can not happen, but sometimes that's just how life works...
