    By the way, (1) are there any Ytsejammers out there that are currently at
    wam.umd.edu? If so, (2) are any of you musicians? (3) If you're lurking
    around and are remotely interested in jamming with fellow Dream Theater
    zealots, e-mail me at silenzio@elwha.evergreen.edu. Except for milkman,
    bdon, sdobay, and berkoski, that is, since I've already contacted those
    cool people! :)

    Did the core group enjoy the exploding cow? Please no open flames on the
    Ytsejams, folks. Direct all flamage to my e-mail address! 'Cause I'll Fork
    it right back at you!

    Any word on a DT-cover band at Ytsecon, comprised entirely of talented
    Ytsejammers? Any word on Mike Portnoy hooking his entire kit up to bungee
    cords and having it dive out over the audience and bounce around in the
    air for his solo? Eh? Any word on words? I tell ya, if I was gonna be
    around in Maryland for the Ytsecon, I'd volunteer for the cover band.
    Long Island is a mere 4-hour drive from Maryland. *sigh*

    Are there any Ytsejammers that have ever caught one of Petrucci's picks?
    Anyone ever caught one of Portnoy's sticks? Perhaps one of his
    frisbee-flying drumheads? Talk to you later, fellow Dream Thespians!

    Dear jammers,

    Have any of you guys played Q-Zar before? Well, I think it would be cool if
    Metropolis Part I was playing in the background while everyone shoots each
    other. What do you guys think?

    Oh, I just thought of another idea... How about if everyone will play Q-Zar
    after the LI convention? Q-Zar closes at 1 AM, and maybe DT themselves would
    want to play with us! What do you think? Or maybe I should get ready for
    flames?

    G'day Jammers,
            I've often read the letters submitted to the ytsejam and wondered
    if they were really real. But then I had an experience that changed my
    mind. I'm a graduate student at a university in northern Colorado and I
    was just minding my own business driving through town when suddenly
    Bombay Vindaloo started playing in my car (my own fault since I was
    listening to LATM anyway). Before I knew it I was headed down the road
    (through a school zone) at a leisurely 45mph (my only reprieve is that it
    was the college I was driving past, no little children, and it was also a
    Sunday). I'm going to have to record a special DT driving tape with only
    the stuff like Space-Dye Vest, etc... for driving. (This is part of the
    reason why my wife doesn't let me drive often. However, she speeds to
    Testament.)

    Hey kids, I'm back.

    Seems I'm always picking up something new...just recently got LiT video
    (can't wait the week or so for Subconscious). I much enjoyed it, but
    Petrucci makes me angry by making it look so easy. Anyway, one
    question... is Moon Bubbles just the 3-4 minute funky thing at the end of
    To Live Forever, or does it include the soloing Petrucci does before it
    (the part with the volume pedal stuff)? That is some of the absolute best
    soloing I have ever heard and is obviously not improvised, so I just
    wondered if it was Moon Bubbles or just random stuff. Concerning the
    upcoming EP, I'd love to see Moon Bubbles or Barfbag (one of the best
    instrumentals I've heard, and it was written on an airplane sans
    instruments) on it, but it probably won't happen.

    I've been enjoying the arguing and heated discussion around here. Its a
    good laugh. Speaking of laughs, its never too late to subscribe to the
    Don Digest...send me mail for info...:@>.

    Also, many guitarists have stated how they can play like Petrucci, how
    many keyboard players out there can play like Moore did? Just wondering
    because his style was unique, not something you learn in those elementary
    school piano lessons.

    Hey Frank,
            Whoa! Relax a little bit. Say your mantra or something. Not
    everybody is into the same music as yourself. If someone (like myself)
    doesn't dig TON you don't need to have a conniption. We're just
    expressing an OPINION like the one that suggested that those of us who
    enjoy this "e-mail shit" are hunchbacked lazy asses. Incidentally, the
    difference between those two statements is that saying TON is a bad
    opener is an opinion wholly based upon subjective factors such as musical
    taste, while saying that we're all hunchbacked (or some other quatsch
    such as that) is an empirical claim that is disproven by a singular
    instance to the contrary.
            Stay in college Frank. It will help your communication skills
    immeasurably.

            Hello all!

    First, a thank you to ALL of you who inquired about the Petrucci clinic
    tape. All the tapes are in the mail as of Monday morning. Second, to
    all of you who have no idea what I'm talking about - THANK GOD!!!!!!!!
    If I never dupe another tape in my life it'll be too soon :)

    Now the real reason(s) I wrote:

    1. If any guitar players have the tab for "Metropolis" (off the recently
    released I&W book), I'm pretty sure (almost 100%) that the very first "F#"
    chord that kicks off the song should be "D/F#", as well as all the ensuing
    F# chords in the intro. That would make it ---4--- instead of ---4---
                                                     ---5--- ---4---
                                                      ---2--- ---2---

    2. (I'm just gettin' started). . . For anyone who has seen the Live in
    Tokyo video, I could sware that the volume swells that Petrucci does in
    the beginning of his solo are the same melody as some song from the
    Beatle's White Album. I can't remember which one, unfortunately. Am I
    right? Or am I just nuts? Any imput would be helpful.

    3. In the "Pull Me Under" video, what's the deal with James' Napalm
    Death shirt (which he again mentions in the Awake pull-out as 'the
    infamous shirt')? Is it a joke? I've heard some pretty disturbing
    things about that band, and I was just wondering. . . :(

    4. Finally, are the Christian themes that seem to be a recurring theme
    on DT's lyrics, AND this list, genuine? I'm a huge King's X fan (note the
    sig :) ) and I'm just curious about DT's background, spiritally
    speaking. Once again, any imput would be helpful.

            Thanks for your patience! Take care.

    P.S. I go away for a weekend, and some dude named Frank goes ballistic
    on everybody on the list? Did I miss something???!!!???

    >>>>>The worst music to listen to while driving is Pantera,

    especially after a hard day at work.

     

    Z.

    I couldn't agree more. Whenever I am listening to Pantera and I'm really
    into. Singing everyone of Phil's grunts and groans. I start speedding
    without even realizing it!! Pantera wjust gets me so pumped up I feel like
    I am immortal. Like I am so tough I could do anything and not fel the pain
    or face the consequeses. And I am not normally like that. But if anyone
    wants to hear music that wiill totally pump you up like for a sporting event
    or a live performance listen to Pantera.
            On my very first live performance I was very nervous. SWo nervous
    that up on stage my hands were shaking so bad I couldn't eeven pluck a note.
    (Luckily I was with 3 other guitarists). Then before my secound show I
    listened to pantera all day and was so pumped up I felt immortal. I could
    do no wrong. So I got on stage and nailed the performance. Well except for
    a volume problem. But my point is listne to Pantera, learn the lyrics, their
    meaning, and sing them. YOU WILL FEEL NOTHING BUT STRENGTH BEYOND STRENGTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well sorry for non-DT but at least my post is longer than my sig.

         To the members of DREAM THEATER.
         
           I am so glad I have found your E-mail address. It's the
    second best thing to actually sitting down and talking with you.
    The only problem is that I don't know what to say. Its almost as if
    I were talking to a god. Actually to a musician like myself, it is
    like talking to a god. All of you have great talents in the musical
    profession. There a not many that have your skill and talent.
          Your music is very inspiring(if I spelled it correctly). I
    also find your music very challanging as well to play. It took me
    almost entire week just to learn the solo in lie, and that is only
    because I have the tablature for it.
          This paragraph is writen for John P.
          I find you to be one of the greatest guitarist I have ever
    heard. The music you write (especially your solos) have a lot
    of feeling and grace. Its as if the music comes directly from your
    soul, into your guitar. I know this may sound weird, but I take my
    music very seriously. I practice at least 2-3 hours a day learning
    the songs of people like Ynwie Malmsteen, Satriani, exe. I also
    practice a lot of your music as well.

                From a devoted fan,
                James Walsh
                
                P.S. If it is not too much to ask. Would you please
    write back. Just so I know that you received this message. It would
    mean more than you know.
                             THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

    2.7 Marillion is thanked in the liners in IAW, What's the relation?
     
            Dream Theater opened for Marillion in New York (anyone have
    the exact date?). Mike Portnoy also said, "We're all really big fans.
    I really dig 'Misplaced Childhood'." Whether Dream Theater and Phish
    are familiar with each other is not certain.

    Phish?!

    Don't you mean Fish, as in Derek W Dick?

When he was talking to Terrorvision he said DT were very popular in mainland Europe but not in the UK (the reverse is true for Terrorvision), DT then go on to play a single date in London ! I don't think they are going to break over here by playing one show. I know the distances people travel in the UK are nothing compared to people in the States but bands need to get seen and only the "die-hard" fans will travel anywhere. (In case you were wondering I couldn't make the London show cause I was on a training course). I'd be interested what people think, I guess I'm just grumpy that I didn't see them this time though they may be back for some festivals (any news anyone ?)

    If any jammers want any UK Dream Theater stuff like Live At The Marquee or the Lie Single then get in touch, I'm sure we can come up with a trade.

    Can the guy with the Petrucci Guitar Clinic get in touch as I'd love a copy.

    How do you get a Ytse Jam T-Shirt ?

    I'd gladly help with any guitar transcription checking.

    I heard a rumour that Tommy Skeoch has left Tesla - is this true ?

    And finally..... does anyone what's happened to Kings X. They booked dates in the UK in May last year, cancelled them and I haven't heard since.

    Keep Jammin'

    Hi!

    Since my previous post seems to have been lost, I will try again, hopefully this one will make it ...

    A few weeks ago I wrote about meeting Mike at the Queensryche concert in Hamburg (Germany). Three days later, on the day of Dream Theater's gig in Bremen, there was an in-store event and I talked to Mike a little on that occasion, asking him whether they knew the band (QR) well etc. I also asked something about him the mailing list, and he said that I should say "Hi!" to all you guys here, and that I hope to have done now (at last). :-)

    The other band members seemed rather bored at the in-store, but Mike was - as always - clown of the crew. :-)

    BTW: I totally agree with the guy who wrote about seeing Geoff Tate at one of the Queensryche concerts and assessing his performance as "incredible", their show at the Royal Albert Hall in London must have been their (and especially Geoff's) best performance I have seen (so far I have seen them seven times, including gigs on the Empire tour). He's just great, I hope he quits smoking though ... :-(

    Greets, Matt

    Hi again.

    Well I was just listening to the "Live at the Marquee"-CD this morning and there came up a real simple question: I wonder if James does the melodies of his parts on his own or if the band tells him what to sing. I know the lyrics are done by the whole band (or by the person who wrote the song) but how about the harmonies? Anyone knows? I really don't think, that he COULDN'T do it because IMO he's a great singer and the harmonies fit his voice perfectly. But there are some real musicaly educated people in this band and I can't believe that they don't "help" him a little bit ;)

    Well, that's all for the moment.

    Bye.

    Bernd.

    Hello all!

    I apologize for the lack of DT content, but...

    1) Spruce Street Revival (my band) played a gig this past friday. It went well considering:

    a) one of our guitarists was home in D.C. with mono AND Streph (sp) throat! We had a fill-in, who, I found out right before we went on, had never played in a band before. He did well, nonetheless. b) We couldn't hear ourselves well. c) Another member of the band (not me) was nearing F.U.B.A.R. status.

    The reason I mention this: A young woman asked our drummer when we'd have a demo out. I'm standing there, listening (this was while we were between songs), and he tells her "By the end of April, we'll have an album out." GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Now I have a deadline. :( Blech!

    So, those of you who are wondering what I can do with the crappy gear that I have, and want to see if I'm full of it with my engineering babbling will get your opportunity sooner than I had anticipated.

    2) Philadelphia (my lovely home town...gag...) is currently stuck in the middle of a Mass Transit strike. Everything - the El, the Subway, the Trolley-Subway/Surface Cars, The Busses, the Regional Rails - is shut down.

    Anticipating this, I've been driving to classes, and found some interesting ways to by-pass the working stiffs who now have to drive from their comfy homes out in Bucks County & the other 'burbs into Center City. (everybody...AWWWWWWWW....) There is an upside to all this:

    (DT CONTENT!)

    As I drive through/past campus, AWAKE gets blared loudly from my car, windows down. =) I love annoying the urban residents, and my fellow Temple students.

    (For those of you not from these parts, Temple is in the middle of one of the poorest sections of Philadelphia. They were bribed by the City years ago not to move out into the suburbs.)

    Squeaked that in, didn't I? =)

    Take it easy, -Hairball

    Does anyone have the lyrics to "Dig", or know of where I can get them? I just purchased the promo copy of the album, and I'm getting into them, but... I have a hard time understanding just what the dude is singing! I hope I'm not the only one...HELP!

    To all guitarists,

    I just picked up DT's I&W tablature and thought I'd mention it to anyone interested in discussing it (ie. picking patterns, corrections, etc).

    Back to our regularly scheduled argument.

    Hey Jammers,

    I erased ytsejam 767, but I wanted to keep that one. Can anybody be kind enough to forward me ytsejam 767? Thank you.

    Oops. Moon Bubbles isn't on LiT. Thanks Tim.

    Here's a DT theory that I have. I think that the whole Awake album is about the Internet. 6:00 is the time some hardcore Net guys get up to use it. It's also the time (AM) that the real hardcore guys are just getting to sleep. I don't need to explain Caught in a Web. Innocence faded and Erotomania have to do with the tremendous amount of pornography on the Net. The silent man is what you become when you spend all your time in front of a computer. This is really far fetched and is a complete joke if you hadn't realized that yet.

    YO!

    June 3rd sounds like a great time for the ytsecon. Is that a Friday or a Sat.? I turn 21 on June 1st, so that's cool <Maybe James will sing Happy Birthday :P> Plus my girlfriend will be out of town, so she won't be able to yell at me for driving up to New York for "some stupid rock group." She hates DT; I've tried to convert her, but it's hopeless; so now I make her listen to them for punishment.

    As far as jamming on some DT tunes, I really don't think anyone could stop all you guitar players from sneaking in your Chiquita guitars and Pignose amps! ;)

    See Ya Steve Z
