You really want to know the answer? It's because of the way that AOL
handled the whole Internet thing.
As I recall, back when AOL was first talking about getting onto the
net, there were convos in the news.admin.policy newsgroup discussing
how AOL should provide their users with info *before* letting them onto
the net. The admins there were ignored and a bunch of naive users
flooded the net.
This isn't new--net people where used to this happening every Fall--but
it hadn't been such a large flood previously.
So people began to notice that when a naive question was asked, the
site was aol.com. The users quickly got an (undeserved) reputation
for being a bunch of newbies.
And the whole thing could have been avoided with some simple user
training...

If you want to talk about this, *please* talk about it on Shag's Screaming in Digital (where it's been discussed and discussed and discussed...)
That doctor sample is used *all over the place*. It's a standard bit of audio fx for hospital scenes. I think Shag may even have turned the whole thing into a game :)

Seriously, I can live with "perfect albums", "Bon Jovi", "Van Halen", and even threads about Goats, but I'm really really really tired of hearing about this sample.
Having said that, I suspect the rest of you will now carry on a long thread about how wonderful the sample is which I will probably read anyways :)

There was at least one album before "Knights of the New Thunder". I used to have it :) It was completely in Norwegian and had many of the songs that were on KotNT.

Hi all!
I'm interested to know what people thought of the Surrounded parody. The few comments I saw on the Jam were cool! I had a lot of fun writing it. I wonder what my next target will be? heh heh...
I'm all for a regional DT-Con. Wouldn't San Diego be a nice to visit? I also think we should get bands to do DT covers. Hint hint...
Today is my birthday and I got Live at the Marquee CD (thanks Rich the Piggy) and a cool Portnoy interview (Kinga!) Now if only John Petrucci would show up at my door and sing The Silent Man. Sigh...

So there's more Jammers that are into Megadeth, great!
I think that it's because Megadeth also stands for good musicians, and thats why we like DT, right!(?)

Hey - I'm a longtime Dream Theater fan and probably obviously a new subscriber; this is my first note and hopefully it gets posted!
It seems that all of the Dream Theater zines are located in Europe: the official one in the UK, one in Italy, one in Germany, and I can't remember where "Your Majesty" is located. Which is all well and good, but it's going to cost those of us Stateside an arm and a leg in airmail and translation! Therefore I ask this: anyone interested in a *US* Dream Theater zine?? Ha - thought that might get some attention. I just published my first anniversary issue, and I'm desperate for fresh blood - I mean contributors. It ain't what you'd call particularly professional; I'm working with rather primitive equipment <you know that thing called an electronic typewriter?? Manual layout does still exist!) I would, however, call it a work from the heart, and I need people to contribute! Live reviews, demo reviews, photos - anything you like regarding DT, and I also do asides on other prog and power metal bands, mostly underground. If you're interested, drop me a line all the way over here on P*; I only download a few of the digests, due to the 36 cent cost per digest! (I think I need to get my butt onto AOL and off P*...)

your majestY,
I saw Steve Taylor last summer at the Flevo Festival in Holland. He really is a great artist and he acts like a complete lunatic when he is on stage. Have you heard the tribute album "I predict a clone"? There are some great bands on that one, including Deliverance, who play the best Steve Taylor songs. Speaking of Deliverance, check out their latest album "River Disturbance"!! It sounds a lot like Queensryche, especially the guitar solos. Also, if you're interested in symphonic metal, you should check out some new bands like Saviour Machine, Torman Maxt and an old band, called Haven. These bands prove that Christian Rock can be progressive too!!
Grace and peace,

Hey all... AWAKE has been in my car tape deck for the past 2 weeks, almost constantly (excepting when I pop in Saigon Kick's "The Lizard," which is a great album in and of itself...), and I've been making mental comparisons between that and the other two DT albums.
One of the things that shocked me about "WDADU" was how bad the recording actually was. They recorded it at Kajem Studios, which is about an hour from where I currently sit.The studio was built into an old Civil War era "warehouse" (hey, PA's an old state, what can I say? <grin>), and is noted for it's drum room sound. One album of particular noteworthyness cut there was 'Ryche's "Mindcrime."
Kinda frightening, eh?
Anyway, what particularly bothers me about WDADU, production-wise is the overall sound quality. It's pretty gnarly. (wow, throwback phrase!) I don't know exactly where to put the blame for this, so, let's take a look at the big picture.
As we all (should) know, the signal chain starts at the microphone on the sound source. Improper placement of mics or the wrong mic can destroy everything. I don't think the engineering people over there are particularly bad - they've done enough work over there to know their end of it. I can assume it's safe to eliminate them.
So, on to Terry Date. He's got a fairly distinguished track record, most notably doing work for Overkill. I partially blame him, but, I do believe some of the blame should fall on the band as well, considering they co-produced the record.
The worst sounding instruments: Mike's Kick, John's Bass & John's guitar. The snare sounds pretty good, as does the rest of the kit - except the one tom that tends to distort (listen for it on LiT and I&W as well) if not properly dealt with.
John's bass sound was probably taken from a combination of a Direct Signal and miking his amp. How can I assume this? At every Dream Theater show I go to, I seem to wind up in front of his amp. =) It's a very thin, bright tone, but, considering the fact that he uses a 6 string bass, I can understand why.Any more bass in that thing would probably cause a speaker to pop out. That low B string's frequency tends to be so low that many stereo systems can't handle it, and apparently, most engineers don't know how to deal with it. (COMPRESS, COMPRESS, COMPRESS!)
John's guitar? Well, let's just say his gear's MUCH better now. =) The MesaBoogie amps he uses are just beyond compare. I don't care WHAT kind of music you play - Boogies are IMHO the best sounding amps in existance. If I could afford one, I'd have one.
Overall, though, the mix isn't bad. All the instruments are balanced fairly well...which makes me think that many of the problems occured in the recording process. Someone goofed up. =)
Okay, enough harping on that record.
On I&W, David "let's replace the kick & snare with triggered samples" Prater created a VERY full sound, at the expense of Mike's drums. When talking to Mike about this, the only thing (and he's said this in Modern Drummer as well) that really bothered him was the replacement of his snare. He did like the kick sounds, to some degree. However, you can tell he left the toms alone, for the most part, because you can still hear that distortion in that one tom - if you can't turn it up just a little too loud...don't distort the WHOLE sound, but, just below that. That tom definitely needed work. (God, I nitpick, don't I?)
The thing about triggering drums is this: it's necessary to put a "gate" on the particular sound you want to replace with a sample. This helps to eliminate bleeding of other parts that were picked up by the mike on the particular track. However, in Mike's case, Prater "closed the gate" too tightly, and not enough of the original signal got through. Triggers also practically eliminate dynamics - as long as it detects a signal, it'll throw out its assigned sample, all at the same volume. Another problem gets to be that Mike does some awful fast snare rolls, and the sample can't react quickly enough, like a real drum can. This explains some of the wierd sounding snare hits you hear on that album.
Again, Prater's just that way. I've talked to Mike, Kevin & James about working with him, and they all pretty much told me that it was "his way or his way, period." Mike protested about his snare being replaced to no avail.
James told me something I wasn't aware of - on the Firehouse records that Prater's done, he actually told their vocalist to get out of the studio, and cut the backing vocals for him. I asked James if that happened here, and he said, "No, he let me cut my own."
Also, one of the guitarists from the band ARCADE told me that David was a real ball-buster. He kept hitting him with a pencil for not playing a solo right, and told him, "Get it right, or I'm doing it for you!" =) Nice guy, eh? What Arcade did was to fire Prater and let someone else do the mix on the album (the guy who produced the 1st Pearl Jam record mixed Arcade's first record. His name escapes me, but it's not Brendan O'Brien), because, "[Prater] tends to show you one set of mixes, then, turns around and mixes it again, and that's what gets sent out."
When I did the phone interview with Kevin, I asked him what he thought of people saying I&W was so glossy & overproduced. He snapped back, "We think this record sounds so much better than our 1st one, we don't care what people think." Ouch! Hit a sensitive spot there, didn't I? =)
Anyway, John's bass sounds better, tonally speaking, but, it's completely lost in the mix. You kinda feel that it's there more than you actually hear it. Peeks through every once in a while. =) But, other than that, you get Metallica "Justice" syndrome - the guitars on that Metallica record completely bury the bass guitar. This is similar to what happened here.
Purdell & Barron took almost all of the previous recording shortcomings and did away with them. Briefly, let me just state that working with those two was probably the wisest decision they've made yet. The album sounds SO FULL and the mix is SO CLEAR! The band sounds HUGE- as the drummer in my band put it,"They are the gods of flange & reverb." Yet, it sounds only half as polished and sterile as I&W. True, there's small problems here & there, but, what P&B did was to let the band BREATHE. And it shows. Every instrument was painstakingly and amazingly well recorded. They even got that tom. =)
Songwriting? That's a different issue. I'll go into that some other time. I think this is long enough. Hope I didn't bore any of you.

Hey jammers, here is something to get everyone thinking. What if the guys in the band suddenly stopped being able to preform their respective duties, and then they suddenly had to learn a different role in the band. (i.e. JP could no longer play guitar and then he suddenly had to learn how to sing lead vocals) What would be their new roles in the band?
Although kind of corny, this was just a post to spice things up a bit on the list. Ignore it if you wish.

Megadeth was on Letterman _two_ times. That's two different shows. They played Train on one show, and Tout on the other. Dave L rarely lets a band play twice on the same show, in fact the only time that I think this has happened was with Tori, and I'm not even sure of that (FOAF).
DT could play the edited Lie on the show. Or maybe Silent Man. They're already out as singles, so I'd bet on either of these two. As if it would happen. Probably a better bet would be the Jon Stewart show, as someone mentioned. He seems to have a pretty wide range of bands on. Hell, Leno had Laurie Anderson on the other night, so I guess anything is possible.

Greetings.
If you watch "Another World" on NBC TV you can hear "...Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair... Dr. J. Hamilton, Dr. J. Hamilton..." as well as the "...Dr. Davis, telephone please..." from Mindcrime by QR. You can hear them on St. Elsewhere or Gen- eral Hospital or a lot of other shows w/ a hospital backdrop. It must be a public domain sound effect or something.
Oh yeah, and don't flame me 'cuz I love the soaps...

Maybe its me but would anyone like to hear more improvised stuff from John Pretucci... we all know his compositional solos are awesome... but I think it would be nice to hear him occasionally improvise over some of the songs, considering the time changes, modal changes etc... the results would be quite interesting... anyone know why he doesn't improvise more?

Hello, This is my first post. I'm a Rushaholic normally and I've noticed over the months that a majority of Rush fans also seem to like Dream Theater alot too. Well, aside from the few that they play on the radio, I've never heard the rest of DT. So, out of curiosity I've just ordered DT's debut from BMG. I'm a DT virgin, and I'm anxious for its arrival. I just hope I'm not disappointed, because from reading these posts, you guys (and gals) sure have raised my expectations. Just thought I'd let you know that I'm about to engulf into new territory, and I'll let you know what i think in a few weeks. Not that anyone really cares about one opinion, but it would be interesting to me to hear a rookie's point of view about RUSH, so.....

I don't think that was a reference to people for _pay_ for accounts through service providers. It was more toward people who work at companies that are on the net, and who use their work account for personal access. How many of these people - myself included - (and even more so, the ones with ".edu" at the end of their address) would just disappear if they had to start paying for their own access (even without buying a computer)? Though I'm currently in that category, too, I'm checking out AOL and a couple other service providers.
(Now _that_ ought to generate some flames from those who are young enough that the world is still black and white... <g>)
Hmm... I'd better put in some nominal DT content - and besides I'm in a mood to stir things up. <g>
I've noticed lots of posts like "If you listen to ACOS at 20:23.67, the next 2.4 seconds sound just like Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac" - well maybe not quite that, but you get the idea. <g> Anyway, there at times I think that DT hasn't created anything that original, they've just taken all these bits and pieces of other people's stuff and combined them - with great skill - in a novel form. That means it would be possible (in theory) to sample all the relevant parts from other CD's and assemble them into a DT song. (This would be more difficult with WDADU, since CD's voice was much more distinctive and recognizable. Fortunately, JLaB - for all his greater technique and training - has the same sound as a lot of the rock and pop singers out there.)
