My analysis is not deep at all, but I think Chris wanted to sing
like Rob Halford from Judas Priest (He's the greatest singer in the world,
I think) . Although his voice wasn't powerful enough in high range, he
succeeded partly in low range. His low voices on "A Vision", "Vital Star",
or "March of the Tyrant" reminds me of Rob's vocal on "Sad Wings of
Destiny" or "Sin after Sin" albums.

Yes, after about a week of being gone, I have returned to school
and returned to the Ytsejam. I have moved and changed Internet
accounts, my new address is: vm460899@hope.edu.
What's really cool is the guy in the room next door to mine was
listening to Pull Me Under the other day and I walked over and
asked, "Is that from the album or the radio?" He replied, "From
the album, Images & Words. I have their other one, too, Awake,
it's just as good."
About time to introduce this guy to WDADU, not to mention
Subconscious and the Majesty Demos. Enjoy!

Whew! Thank GOD for that... they found the missing $1000. When I
had gone in to do that cashier's check that was refused me, the teller
tried to pull a fast one and keep the money for herself. It wasn't caught
because the daily drawer count was even (since my acount had been docked
$1000). I showed my receipts and such to management and called in their
loss-prevention agent from downtown, and it was sorted out in short
order... and that poor teller is without her job. That's what ya get for
stealin, ya know! :)
So the stream of CDs shall flow on!!

It is (my opinion) that it is common practice for CD Europe to advertise
CDs that are not yet in print based on expected or rumoured release dates
in order to generate interest-bearing revenue.
In March of this year they advertised the availability of the three missing
Kansas CDs which still haven't been released. Of course, you still have the
option of spending your credited money again in 2 months on other CDs that are
also not available.
I'd recommend sticking with more reliable and smaller dealers like Tim Lodge,
Ranjit, and Shawn Cerreta.

Hi all. Long time reader, first time writer, blah blah, etc.
etc. Anyway, I just wanted to announce that the good Mr. Portnoy is
giving a drum clinic on Sept. 19th at the Holiday Inn in Syracuse, N.Y.
I haven't seen anyone with an e-mail address close enough the Syracuse to
actually send this to, but there could always be a humble message-phobic
person like myself that might be reading this anyway.
Basically, after all the local roadies have picked their knuckles
off the ground and gotten on stage to drool until both sides of their
mouth loose the same amount (then the stage is level), the drummer
(anyone) does a 20-or-so minute solo, talks about any kind of concept in
their heads, fields a bunch of questions, and then jam for 4 or 5 songs
with the local talent(if those words aren't mutually exclusive). The guy
putting the thing on says that Mike's clinic will be big on rudiments and
approaches to odd time and melodic playing. Tickets will be 10 bucks,
and turnout is expected to be huge (which is good, because the guy
putting it on had to buy all the cymbals and (?) rent the drums (the
retail on the cymbals is $2500 alone!).
Speaking of clinics, I've got a quick question. Does anyone know
about the progress of the John Petrucci video? Portnoy said in a Modern
Drummer interview ("Metal Drummer's Round Table," where he indirectly
trashed Lars Ulrich (it's gotta be Lars)) that Petrucci was coming out
with an instructional video. That was about 6 months ago, and I haven't
seen it advertised yet. Any news?
To the side, I just picked up Allan Holdsworth's new instr.
video. If you want to hear some SERIOUSLY progressive stuff, buy the
video. It's mostly live footage of his band, with a little gospel from
the master. Good stuff.
I'll stop. If anyone wants more info on the clinic, I'll be
happy to send it out. It should be a great show.

Kier Whitacre and myself (one half of INFERNO) will be attending ProgDay
'95 in Chapel Hill, NC to see Echolyn, Mastermind, Bon Lozaga,
Discipline, and others. We plan to set up a booth to sell INFERNO tapes
and promote ourselves. I hope to meet some of you there...
ProgDay '95 is taking place this Sunday (Sept. 3) and tickets are $12 in
advance. For more information, contact Peter Renfro at:
Until later,

Hi all! Here is my new account at Columbia University:
My "huntkill" account is still valid until 10/2/95. So you can still
e-mail to there, but I would log onto my account here more often.
Well, I'll TTYL!
Yours,
Jeff =)
P.S. A definite YES for lessons. I take guitar lessons and they
_really_ help.

I'm back. 'nuff said on that.
The summer included a Queensryche concert (awesome), as well as a Bad
Company/Ted Nugent concert, and a Boston concert. Both of those were also
quite good.
Very recently, was the Live show (all of these shows have been in
Phoenix). Granted, it was my first Live concert, but I would have to
disagree with a certain "acoustic dreamer" and say that it was anything
but mediocre. Or at least anything like "incredible", "awesome" and "one
of the best I have been too". It was the closest that I have ever been,
but... _The Dam at Otter Creek_ was a perfect opener, the new song,
_Cheater_ (something like that) had the most powerful climax...
Maybe it was a mediocre show. Maybe I'm weird. Actually, that's a
given... but what I'm just trying to help Live. If Mike didn't like it as
much, fine. I did.
I can't wait for the new one (back to DT)... hearing that review made me
shake...
