Subject: Myung sighting off the port bow....
Speaking of John Myung, I think he's featured in a quick clip embedded
in an ad for Berklee College of Music, running here in Atlanta as a
local insert on MTV. As soon as the ad came on, I thought "Berklee,
wow, Dream Theater," and pow, there he was.... :)
Heck, if you're an erstwhile musician and you can afford to move to
Boston from here to attend Berklee, you could start a label
and release your own CDs! :)

Heh heh. Well, I can assure you that he played everything that's on the album. The thing is, the producer came in and said "Ok, mics here for guitars, bass direct, etc, etc, oh, and we're triggering all the drums". Now, what this means is, everytime Mike hits a drum, it still makes a sound. However, it doesn't make a very natural sound, from a "feel" oint of view (ie, the attack volumes don't vary a whole lot, ghost strokes come out wierd, etc) They didn't "fix" any of his drum parts in the studio (ala Lars Ulrich)

Speaking of John Myung, check out the new issue of BASS PLAYER magazine. It has Michael Mannring on the cover. The interview is short and doesn't give anything new, but it's good to see him get his due.
Speaking of Mannring, if you like tapping and mind-blowing bass playing, check Mannring out, but only if you can handle new-agish type stuff. If you're into rock, (and who here isn't) go grab anything made by Stu Hamm. Guaranteed to make your hair stand on end.
Mike

I heard they had to piece his tracks together from over 40 different takes on the slack album.

I was just looking through the lyrics to Another Day, after reading yesterday's post about the meaning, and I definatly see some anti-suicide lyrics in there. Here is some of the things that I see.
>Live another day obvious there
>Climb a little higher try for a goal type phrase
>Find another reason to stay again, obvious
>Ashes in your hands >Mercy in your eyes not sure about this, anyone?
>If you're searching for a silent sky... searching for some kind of peace, obtained by death
>Chorus: > You won't find it here won't find that "silent sky"
> Look another way find another way to find peace
> You won't find it here > So die another day obvious, again
>The coldness of his words >The message in his silence possibly someone is angry with the person who is thinking about suicide
>"Face the candle to the wind..." >This distance in my voice >Isn't leaving you a choice >So if you're looking for a time to run away... not sure about this, anyone?
>Chorus
>They took pictures of our dreams >Ran to hide behind the stairs >And said maybe when it's right for you, they'll fall >But if they don't come down >Resist the need to pull them in >And throw them away again, not quite sure, anyone?
>Better to save the mystery save the mystery of what occurs after death
>Than surrender to the secret than to find out by killing yourself and ending life
>Chorus
I am sure that someone else can fill in what I didn't. I was just looking throught the lyrics pretty quickly and came up with this. I am sure if someone spent some time thinking, they could figure it out.
(BTW, might want this in the FAQ also)

~ I do wish that John would play a solo during DT shows; I wish the same for Geddy Lee, as well. I saw Hamm with Satriani a few years ago (I didn't get a chance to see him recently, though :( I've couldn't believe that such a variety of sounds could come from a bass guitar! The way he slapped that bass... Awesome! Zach
