Found a video at the flea market yesterday... the title was "Heavy Metal
Releases" and it had a slick colorful sleeve featuring Dream Theater and
Pantera. (mostly Pantera)... had the videos for "I'm Broken" and "Pull Me
Under" as well as a bunch of live clips from both, and a lot of LiT
excerpts... not bad for $2, but mainly I was glad to find DT on a
promotional video. Anyone else find "HMR spring 1994"?

Hi, I'd also be interested in hearing from anyone who'd be willing to
help me start my 'unofficial' DT collection by trading for blanks.
Please E-mail me privately. I hope the fact that I live in the UK isn't
a problem!
Anyway, here's some news from our longest serving rock mag, Kerrang.
They've reported that DT will be playing the UK in March, that The Silent
Man will be released as a single to co-incide with the tour and... that
we should look out for a very special show in London in February!
Perhaps this is the 'covers' date talked about earlier. No dates yet but
I'll keep my ear to the ground and keep you all posted.

SInce there has been much discussion about the eclectic musical interests
of most "YJrs" I thought I'd list my top-ten or so: (excluding DT of course
<G>):
1) Fates Warning
2) Elton John
3) Billy Joel
4) Chick Corea Elektrik Band
5) Queensryche
6) Melissa Etheridge (particularly pre-"Yes I Am")
7) Spyro Gyra
8) Iron Maiden
9) Journey/Styx
10) Boz Skaggs/Steely Dan
I also like alot of Big band and Classical music as well as old Jazz/Blues
like Coltrane, Robert Johnson, Etta James, Muddy etc.

Hi, there!
Many greetings from a German YTSEJAMmer!
Last week something really nice and surprising happened:
Dream Theater's "Silent Man" was played on HR3.
In the Wednesday show "HR3 - Hard'N'Heavy" they played:
Dream Theater - The Silent Man
Fates Warning - Pale Fire
Queensryche - One More Time
and something off the new Helloween album.
Really incredible! Too bad this only happens once a year.
Any German YTSEJAMmer who feels up to it, please send requests to
HR3 - Hard'N'Heavy
- featuring "Team T" -
Postfach
60222 Frankfurt.
Another subject : recommendations :
THRESHOLD - WOUNDED LAND
I think someone else already mentioned Threshold a few days ago.
This is a perfect album for fans of progressive metal. They are
really strong in their vocals and their keyboardist fits in really
well.
They have a newer release - PSYCHEDELICATESSEN - which is out for
some weeks now and is reported to be heavier and less progressive -
anybody out there already checked it out? I'm gonna get it anyway,
'cause I like "WOUNDED LAND" so much.
ANGRA - ANGELS CRY
Faster than Threshold, they somehow remind me of Helloween's good old
"Keeper Of The Seven Keys" albums. Again, a great vocalist.
I also like the orchestration a lot. They also have a symphonic intro
- just like Helloween on their "Keeper" albums.
I think "Angels Cry" is their only release.
TIAMAT - WILDHONEY
Tiamat is a former Death-Metal-Band who has become more progressive
now - I think that's due to some line-up changes.
Some people might remember the discussion about Cynic's "Focus" -
THIS is death metal, IMHO, but Tiamat is more progressive and less
death metal. Oh, well, I myself still have to get used to their still-
a-little-death-metal vocals.
Next subject : TOWHTSTS and other acronyms
Now everybody knows what TOWHTSTS means, so I like to add a few more:
ATCOOBS - albums to check out or buy soon
ATBASATAR - albums to buy as soon as they are released
To explain this a bit : Threshold's "PSYCHEDELICATESSEN" is on my
ATCOOBS-list, whereas the new DT-EP which is going to be released
this year (hopefully soon) definitely belongs to the ATBASATAR.
TJWILTPH (That's just what I like to post here).
B,TCAHF (Bye, take care and have fun) !!!
- Andreas -
P.S. on the classical music subject :
My favorite composer is Beethoven, and I mostly like his symphonies,
especially Symphony #6 (Pastorale). Anybody familiar with it?

the UK doom metal band cathedral is pretty cool... kinda like a hippy

less....
they have 'the ethereal mirror' 'soul sacrifice' and, uh, another
little ep and another album i think.... so avoiding those would help
you narrow it down to the US one. or you can buy them. i think they're

What you've got there is Rock Video Monthly, a subscription thingie.
Normally, they have about ten different videos by different bands on a
tape, but that month was some sort of special. I believe all the stuff
on there was taken from the LiT video.

Well, everybody seems to be chipping up their favorite bands, so I
thought it would be fun to include mine as well. In no particular order,
here goes:
DT, FW, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Camel, Bad Religion, Voivod,
Mindfunk, Eleven, Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa, Toad the Wet Sprocket.
Ahem.

Well, I remember from the 1st show on the tour that they said that
they are making/have made a video for CIAW... Of course, it is eMpTyV
that we are talking about, so they probably never played it...
Another Another Day video, I guess... They _should_ play Silent
Man... I mean, they seem to like accoustic tracks...
Oh, BTW, for Jason Hartman, I seem to remember Kaoru mentioning that
she was going to be away for a few weeks...

Aarrggh! There are more?! I already accidentally tried the death-metal
Cathedral from someplace in Europe I think. I wouldn't wish that on anybody
on this list.
These guys must be the third. Out of D.C., album released in 1993. Kind of
gothic attempt at prog. 8 tracks, 65 minutes, no track shorter than 6:35.
Released on the Kinesis label. Offer still stands.

I was just weondering if _anyone_ out there has a complete copy of the
show from 6/9/90 where DT introduced Steve Michael Stone as their new
lead singer... I just got a copy of part of it, and it doesn't sound
too bad... I actuially thought that he sounds better on there than on
his audition tape... although I am reminded of David Coverdale...
at the beginning of Metropolis, it almost sounded like the beginning
of Still Of The Night...

Alrighty Fellow DT enthusiasts...I've decided to go ahead and give my
$.02! When it comes to Classical...and all you fellow Music Theory Buffs
will back me up on this one...I have three words: Mozart, Vivaldi, and
Wagner! You haven't heard/seen classical music until you've had to
analyze their stuff (I thought I'd never survive Theory class!!!). Also
for those who mentioned Yanni...I was probably the person you're talking
about who's mentioned him on the YTSE...Live at the Acropolis is
DEFINETLY Progressive (not metal...but changing time sigs...and killer
arrangments with orchestration)...to this day I swear if you mixed
Pantera and Yanni you get Dream Theater!!! Also for those who like Piano
and cool orchestration...try out David Lanz! More about Yanni..."Live..."
is most likely the only CD that would appeal to most JammerZ' (his other
stuff is kinda boring)...but it IS a must!!! Well it's been fun...and as
usual, take care, and don't study too hard!!! C-ya!

According to the circle of fifths, and the pattern of sharps and flats:
If the alphabet continued as notes progressed (Using Major Key Sig's) (i.e
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, etc.) eventually the key of Z Major
would have 4 sharps.

****FIRST POST****
Hi guys, my name is Andrew. I'm a bass player from Canada - I live
in Toronto, but I'm currently at university here at McGill in Montreal.
I saw the RPM Warehouse show, and it was great!!! (No, I don't have
any bootlegs...but would like one)
I have been lurking for some time, and I noticed that there is some call
for transcriptions and stuff. As a kind of overture to my fellow jammers
I wanted to list some sightings of DT in music mags, which may be
helpful to some of you. If this has been done already, I apologize in
advance for the space.....
***GUITAR WORLD (May 93): Pull Me Under - gtr tab.
***MODERN DRUMMER (Aug 93): Feature on Portnoy - drum setup, influences
***BASS PLAYER (Feb 94): Interview with Myung - 2 pgs.
***GFTPM (Mar 94): Takethe Time - gtr and bass tab. good transcript.
Petrucci wins "Breakthrough Guitarist"
DT wins "Breakthrough Band", "Songwriters of the
Year" and I&W gets "Album of the Year".
***GFTPM (Nov 94): Lie - gtr and bass tab.
Interview with Petrucci - 8 pgs.
***GUITAR SCHOOL (Nov 94): Myung Bass Clinic - tab for some licks.
***GUITAR SCHOOL (Jan 95): Caught in a Web - gtr and bass tab.
***GUITAR WORLD (Jan 95): Erotomania - gtr and bass tab.
That's all for now gang, hope it's not too much! GFTPM has the best
transcriptions IMHO, and they love DT. Petrucci writes a monthly column
called "Wild Stringdom" (took over from Eric Johnson) in GW. Finally,
there's an obscure industry mag in Canada called "MEAT" that praises
DT often as well. Anyway, I'm off to get the Feb issues - I understand
Petrucci wiped up the awards in GFTPM again.... See ya!!!

Thanks to a friend of mine who knows them, we've just confirmed GWAR
for an appearance at our SF/fantasy convention here in Atlanta this
summer. Costume and prop demonstrations at least, and possibly a show
("You'll need plenty of plastic for the floors." Oh, yea.....)

Great, someone else who's heard of them! Some friends and I latched
onto them pretty early and we've gotten to know them quite well.
Watch for them to be in the new Mortal Kombat movie that's coming out
soon. Incredibly young and energetic band from, of all places,
backwoods Arkansas. Any questions about MDO, just send 'em my way.
