First of all sorry for the "indirect-related-DT" contents of this mail
I am confinced. I want to buy the inferno tape. Unfortunally, I lost
the address :( So if this person could mail me his address I will send
a check.
I also want to reply on the comment someone made about Jim Matheos "being"
Fates Warning because he writes almost all their stuff and being in the
band the longest. I dont know if this person knowns the album
Perfect Symmetry (absolutely their best). But I believe that Frank Aresti
wrote (almost?) the complete album. I sure hope he will write more on their
new one.

Ok, with all this FW talk, I want to get more of their stuff now. I have

Also, I'm moving to Minneapolis, MN in a couple months, and was wondering

Dream Theater: New Definition For Progressive Rock
by Tom Mulhern
from Guitar Player Magazine, January 1990, pg. 14 & 15
(Page 14 has a picture Petrucci and Myung in upper right corner)
The term "progressive rock" can bring many conversations to a
screeching halt, polarizing even the most mild-mannered music aficionados.
For some, it conjures complex, compelling, sometimes classically derived
rock, while others view it as bombastic musical excess. Both sides
generally concede that, for the most part, it died with the '70s. However,
Dream Theater is cutting a path into a new territory that's heavy on the
metal, light on the classicism, and thick with excitement. Their debut
album, When Dream And Day Unite [MCA/Mechanic] shows the quintet taking
chances in odd meters, scaling complex harmonies, and burning on their
instruments. At times they travel the road paved by Emerson, Lake & Palmer,
Genesis, Kansas, and Rush, while laying down a thick coating of grit that
only comes from the type of metal forged by Iron Maiden, Metallica, et al.
The quintet has its roots on Long Island, where guitarist John
Petrucci, bassist John Myung, and keyboardist Kevin Moore played in bands
together during their teens. The guitarist and bassist attended Berklee in
1985, primarily to enhance their musical abilities, but also to meet new
players. Petrucci recalls their brief tenure in Boston: "We wrote heavy
progressive tunes as trios - guitar, bass, and drums - while all around us
were people doing standard jazz. We did our stuff for about six hours a
night, the whole time disturbing the acoustic players in the practice rooms
next door." After two semesters, they returned to Long Island with new
drummer Mike Portnoy in tow.
As Majesty, they worked day and night creating and refining their
tunes, and soon added vocalist Chris Collins (who was replaced in late '86
by Charlie Dominici). The band gigged in New York and recorded a four-tune
demo that quickly sold 1,000 copies. When the demo came to Mechanic
Records' attention in early 1988, the band was immediately signed for it's
debut album. While recording, the band abruptly changed its name when they
found that there was already another band calling itself Majesty. The other
band had a trademark and wouldn't relinquish it; thus, Dream Theater was
born.
When Dream And Day Unite features speedy licks and complex interplay
by the guitarist and bassist (both 22 years old) as keyboards swirl and the
drums tear through the songs like a Ferrari down a narrow alley. The
high-speed, always-in-control picking styles of Al DiMeola, Steve Morse,
Steve Howe, and Yngwie Malmsteen are all reflected in Petrucci's lead work,
but more important, he fuses his influences in a well-balanced blend that
quivers with whammyfied electricity from his leopard skin-patterned custom
Ibanez. The guitar is outfitted with a DiMarzio P.A.F. Pro at the bridge
and a Double Whammy at the neck, as well as a coil-tap in the tone control.
His other equipment consists of a Samson Stage 22 wireless, a T.C.
Electronic 2290 for chorusing and flanging, a T.C. Electronic parametric EQ,
a Korg DRV-2000 digital reverb, a Hush IICX noise-reduction unit - all
controlled via MIDI using a MESA/Boogie MIDI Matrix with an Abacus
footcontroller, and shaped by a MESA/Boogie Quad Preamp driving a MESA 295
SimulClass power amp and two Randall 4 x 12s with Celestion speakers.
Despite the heap of equipment, Petrucci insists that his primary
weapon is his technique: "I still work on picking every day. The day I
discovered a metronome was the best day of my life. But it's a double-edged
sword. I worked so hard on picking everything that I never really got into
flashier left-hand stuff. I have tried to develop both, though, because no
matter what, you can use another approach to round things out in your own
style. You always open up new doors. By trying to learn some of Frank
Gambale's stuff, I found that I came up with all sorts of new ideas. His
way of phrasing is totally different because of his approach. It was the
same thing with using a tremolo. I listened to Steve Vai's Flexable
[Urantia], and then Brad Gillis when he played with Ozzy Osbourne. Another
guy who has an interesting approach to the bar is Alex Lifeson. He doesn't
use it in a really radical way, but he uses it to put vibrato on chords and
to slur into notes - like Allan Holdsworth. I want to learn a lot more."
Holding down the bottom while adding precise, complex licks is John
Myung's bread and butter. He flavors Dream Theater's songs with daring
Jaco-style harmonics that punctuate his pulsating lines and leave room for
tasty fills by his rhythm-section counterpart, Portnoy. Only a five-year
veteran on the bass, he got into the instrument at age 17 after playing
violin for 12 years. "I played in competitions and orchestras, where your
performance was graded and criticized," he explains. "When I was 16 or 17,
I felt much closer to progressive music than to classical, and I made the
decision to play bass. I took it very seriously, trying to outdo the local
players. Healthy competition. I transferred the challenge of playing
violin to the bass, as far as having to play fast and accurate go. I was
always trying to shoot beyond my capability. My main influences came from
Iron Maiden, Rush, Yes, and Jaco Pastorius. Then, when I heard Billy
Sheehan, I didn't know where he came from. He really showed me the way to a
sound."
John Myung's Music Man StingRay bass has a replacement Gibson EB-O
pickup added near the neck for grunge and bottom, but for clean playing and
harmonics, the stock pickup is the ticket. The bass is strung with
Rotosound Swing Bass strings, and amplified via two Pearce BC-1 preamps (one
has the Billy Sheehan Modification - heavy on the overdrive), plus a QSC
MX1500 1,500-watt power amp that drives two Ampeg SVT 8 x 10 cabinets.
"It's definitely overkill, more than I need," he admits. "But I have power
to spare, so I don't have to push the amp very hard. That way, it's always
clean power."
Although Myung is a fiery soloist whose workmanship is reminiscent
of Billy Sheehan's, he insists, "I'm not a solo maniac. I'm a team player.
The way I get the most out of myself is working with a very good combination
of people. And those are the ingredients of Dream Theater."
Despite the band's progressive-rock leanings, Myung emphasizes,
"We're not trying to bring back anything. We're trying to have a certain
standard of musicianship, as far as composition, arrangement, depth of
complexity, and subtlety go. We set a goal, and we've been following it.
There's too much in-your-face playing without great musicianship. We love
being heavy, but if you're heavy all the time, it locks you in. And if
you're too wimpy, you get known only for that."
To date, the band's strongest response has been from Europe and
Japan. American tours have fallen through, but as of this writing, a tour
of Europe was scheduled for late November '89. Dream Theater isn't waiting
for success to come easily, nor are they waiting for their debut to play
itself out before knuckling down for their second album. "We're constantly
writing new songs," says Petrucci. "As far as writing for the new album is
concerned, we're at work on the material now. Success is just a matter of
time."

In my younger days, I sang in a few rock bands, and believe me, you can
train your voice to last longer. It is certainly a largely individual
thing, but I found that by practicing songs over and over, I could learn
the proper places to take short breaths, to cheat on a note and things
like that.
In much of hard rock music, falsetto can be used here and there to
preserve the voice.

Greetings progressive metalheads from Jay Peele (band: INFERNO),
I've been a huge DT fan since WD&DU came out and I obtained a promotion
copy of I&W the week before it was released (Of course I also have Marquee
and DoE as well). I've seen the band perform live 4 times and met them
every time. The first time I saw DT Mike Portnoy was wearing one of
my band's t-shirts. After the show he told us that a friend of ours
in Atlanta had given him the shirt and told him to wear it in
Jacksonville.... (Amazing!)
About 14 months ago, at a different show here in Jacksonville, my band,
INFERNO, got to open
for DT. At the soundcheck, they played 'to live (forever)' and a smal part
of ACoS (It was incredible). Our music is highly influenced by the likes of
Rush, DT, Fates Warning,
Queensryche, Yes, Pink Floyd, Watchtower, Voivod, etc. As most of you know,
progressive metal bands don't muster up a lot of support so I thought I
would ask all of you for help. If anyone is interested in hearing my
band's debut independent album entitled 'Psychic Distance' please email me
directly at jpeele@unf6.cis.unf.edu or send a check for $9.25 made payable
