Well, this is sorta DT related... I just bought a CD by the Jon Finn
Group called "Don't Look So Serious"... anyway, they opened for DT
here in Boston at Berklee... The band is a Satch/Vai/Hoey kind of
band... Anyway, the CD is really cool, so for those of you in the New
England area... Its a great CD to buy... I got it at Newbury Comics,
so most of the local area shops should have it... If you saw DT here,
and were as impressed with them as I was, I would definatly recommend
it...

Brain,
Thanks for posting that letter. I don't have a Cacophony WWW page but
I do have a Marty Friedman and Jason Becker Pages so I will post the
letter there.
The current address for these pages is
http://www.d.umn.edu/~nbradley/music.html
But they will soon be moving to the same account as the Savatage
pages below.
Other interesting things. The Savatage Pages have had a lot added if
yo haven't checked with in the last week or two. Dr. Butcher info as
well as merchandise that is available from the band.

First and foremost, (playfully) Jessa You Devil! I was less than sixty
seconds from hitting Control-X to send this post to YJ, when the latest
one popped into my mailbox and I read your transcription! ARGH!! Oh well,
here it is, same as before I read YJ #814: (devil!)
----
There have been a few requests for a transcription of this part, so here
you go! This is the heavy instrumental jam from "6:00." (starting at 3:52
in the song) This is a transcription for guitar, though I suppose bassists
could use it too, since Myung plays this line during the softer "The pain
inside..." part: (waitaminute, didn't a bassist request this most
recently?)
"The pain inside...
Comin' outside..."

"So many ways to drown a man..."
The neat thing about this passage is that during the "Pain inside..."
part, the keyboard and bass are doing this without the guitar. Then on the
heavy double-kick part (the jam!) the bass goes back to its normal part
while the guitar joins the keyboard, still playing this riff. Then when
the vocals come back in ("So many ways...") the keyboard continues with
this same exact riff while the guitar and bass both go off into their own
thing. I guess Kevin wanted this line to be held through several measures
by different instruments, or he liked it so much he played it for 12
counts of 8 on his own and let the other guys do what they wanted!
Hmmm....the end of "Innocence Faded" has been mentioned a lot...hmmm...so
has that fast lick from "Pull Me Under"....hmmm....don't suppose anyone
would be interested in either of those....? ;>

It's always nice when flamethrowers are full of fuel and aimed, complete
with the pilot-light going, yet the trigger is left in the released
position. I have to say your response was one of the most mature and
level-headed ones I've ever seen on the Internet. Yeah, so you're not in a
Dream Theater cover band, and you can't sing a full octave higher and
lower than James LaBrie, I applaud you anyway! Nice comment on the
abortion issue, the feeling is mutual here.
"Intellectual Copywright?" I can see why so many people dislike Garth
Brooks now. I wonder what would happen if Socrates were alive today. He'd
be the richest human being in history...
You know, AirDance, yesterday I tried some Martini & ROSSi asti spumanti,
and I have to say it was pretty darn good! My friend Mr. ROSSberg didn't
like it too much, though, he said that compared to White Zinfandel it was
gROSS! In fact, compared to _anything_ it was gROSS! He said it was
nothing more than a cROSS between toilet water and acid! (okay, I'll stop
already)
To Steve Zebrowski: we need more people like you on the Internet. I
believe you were the first to nicely ask that the whole R-----6 issue be
dropped. I can respect that, but asking that it be switched to that other
topic...what was it...the rhythms of...THE MIRROR?!! Hey, not to open up
old wounds, but I think Mark Zonder could WHIP Kevin Moore at drumming
with his eyes closed!!! Wait, he's not...um...nevermind. :) thanx steve!
To whoever asked: Nope. No relation to Steve Vai, but Steve is definitely
the reason it's "Bafu Vai" and not something else...like "Bafu Seliger" or
"Bafu McFarlane" or other artists/musicians I really like.
Yes the issue is dropped. (insert "Alive" lyrics here) Heyey aaah-hai,
glooo-hohry, I'm still aliive. Yeah, and didn't PJ do a song called...
JEREMY?! (evil cackling)
Oh well. Better to be all-done than well-done. ;> thanx airdance!

Could someone please subscribe me to the ACTUAL Dream Theater list? I
don't want this one where people write petty posts a thousand lines long
explaining why they posted someone's address or scolding them for doing
such a thing. I would actually like to read a little more about DT.
Please do this childish crap over private e-mail, so we ytsejammers don't
have to read your bullshit. How much free time do you people have to be
typing those LONG replies? I've read books shorter than that! GROW UP!
As for some DT content, can anyone tell us whether or not the band
will be coming back to the US this summer? I thought that was their plan,
but perhaps this has been changed. I missed them the first time around on
the Awake tour, and don't plan on that happening again.

Space-Dye Vest, spoken samples:
(2:03)
"But he's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman.
He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something
to look at, like a...painting, or, or an ivory box. Something to hold (?)
and to display. He doesn't want you to be real, or to think, or to live.
He doesn't love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts,
and ideas, and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms. It's our last
chance."
(3:19)
"I can move out, um, get, get a job, get my own place, m, m, I go in the
mall and then they're like, tell me I'm, I'm still young."
"Some people they-advice (slip-up by the speaker himself?) before, about
facing facts, about facing the reality. And this is, this, without a doubt
is his biggest challenge ever, he's going to have to face it. Ya gonna
hafta try, he's gonna hafta try, and, uh, and, and, and get some help
here, I c-- Now, no one can say they know how he feels."
"That, so they say that'n yano (hyper-fast "that in, you know") like,
Houston or something, you'd say it's, yeah, it's a-hundred-and-eighty
degrees, but it's a DRY heat." *
"In HOUSTON they say that?"
"Oh, maybe not, I'm all mixed up!" *
"Dry until I had the swimming pool..."
* - this voice sounds an awful lot like Conan O' Brian.
This next part reminds me of a family setting, possibly from a television
show. A father is lecturing his son, with the mother nearby. The music is
still fading out over the first sentence, but here's what comes after it:
Father: "You're young enough, son. (loud piano) ...room, sleep in, I don't
care what you do, I don't care when. That door gets locked...that door
gets locked-"
Mother: "At nine."
Father: "At nine o' clock. You're not in this house by nine o' clock, then
you'd better find someplace to sleep, because you're not gonna be a bum in
this house. Supper is ready. (loud piano over last sentence)"
That's it. Could a few jammers please listen to the song while reading the
above transcription to verify the parts, make corrections, or add spicy
comments full of panache? Thanks. ("Really? I had to look it up.")

No, Airdance, that first anonymous person was not Mike Bahr. Yes, we all
know and love him dearly, but EENH! (buzzer noise) It was not him. Too bad
you didn't guess on the second or third...
BUT the first person who DOES correctly tell me who all three of those
anonymous people are wins a free copy of my next project, "When 3 And

you've all been waiting for!

p.s. that's a joke, no offense Mike. I can't wait to hear what this
mystery track is, even though someone seems to have nailed its origin
already! do the un-Subconscious a favor by NOT posting where that track
comes from or what it is, at least not until everyone has theirs and is
wracking their brains...
p.p.s and yes, my "dream setlist" was a joke. it really is a dream
setlist, alas confined to that realm. by logic, though, a dream setlist
for a band could only be played in a dream theater...

Message-ID: <Pine.SGI.3.90.950507185923.12633E-100000@umbc8.umbc.edu>
This is a message I wrote to Bafu Vai (Steve) yesterday. I wanted to see
what was up with him before I posted.
1. This stuff about copywrite shit and such that Jen brought up
depends on where you stand morally. Legally it is OK to sell a master
copy of an album for whatever price you want. Jen is the only one with a
DAT master and the rest of us have tape tree copies, unless you include
all of the tapes distributed by Jen as masters, and the rest as copies.
Still we only have copies and not a master, so I don't like someone
selling them. Like Jen replied, persuing this over a couple of tapes is
not financially smart. You lose less money not pursuing it then to
actually spend time and money on a case.
2. If this guy has a second generation copy and he is selling them
for above cost of a blank tape and supplies, then I find that morally
objectionable. Same as someone selling a dub of a CD that is released.
This is also illegal, but again it isn't usually pursued unless this
practice is being done in volume by someone. Like in China with the
illegal copies of American artist's studio albums.
3. Boots, you know that I own them. My thing with them is that
it is an opportunity to further extend your collection and appreciation
of an artist. If I can get the material legally I will not buy them. I
will also only buy them if they are something I really want. I don't
treat them like studio albums. I would rather trade for them and get
them on tape where neither the artist or the bootlegger profit. (As
opposed to just the bootlegger profiting)
4. I agree with you that it is uncool to post other people's
personal stuff to the internet without their permission. Unfortunately,
this is just my view.
5. Jeremy. Well I traded with this guy a couple of times and got my
stuff, but this was back before Christmas. He took a long time on the
second trade, but after bugging him I did get the stuff.
6. My estimation of Jeremy is that he is someone who got in over his
head with trading and either couldn't deal with it, or he decided it
would be OK to jump ship since he really doesn't "know" any of us because
we only communicate through the net. People on BBS systems seem to have
this problem more than those of us on the internet. This generate an
alias and an identity which justifies immoral actions. He could be
mentally fucked up, like some of the crackers I know. Any number of
possibilities, but these are my theories since I do know he was a good
trader for several months.
8. My projects, I have a question about related bands material on
Ytsejam. Are you for it? I plan to write a whole bunch of band reviews
over the summer and put them in a database. Should I post related band
capsules to Ytsejam or just put a pointer to the WWW page I am going to
build, I would only be posting info on progressive metal bands to
Ytsejam, that hopefully would be of interest to the people who read the
digest.
Later,
Mike
PS. Thanks Jen for the Drum magazine article. I got my copy in the mail
a couple of days ago!

Not as a flame but you left out one good point. Maybe they arent a five
album multi-million selling band like metallica but DT doesnt write 3
minutes non-quality songs. Just thought i would stand up for DT.

my opinion would be we would have to sell Petrucci and James on the
idea. Mike doesn't have a problem with bootlegs, it seems, so of
course he wouldn't mind the project... the other 2 represent the other
end of the spectrum, and if they were convinced, then there probably
wouldn't be a problem with any of the band. Have to remember Mike
isn't representative of the band on this issue (come to think of it,
Mike is sort of a wild card ;) ). Probably the most interested
party would be James... has anyone heard about his opinion?

Greetings Jammers -
First of all, this post is dedicated to Mike Bahr. I think I'll be
toasting his name at the bar every friday night for many years for what
he's done on tis CD. Mike, we can't possibly thank you enough fr
bringing this rare, special material to all of us fans who appreciate it
best.
Now, on with the review!
EVE-
This is a great version of the song, but not really anything special
since I've already got the "Dance of Eternity" set. It is nice to not
have to hear that lousy beginning to Pull Me Under right at the end, however!
CHANGE OF SEASONS-
Same story, second verse as far as this not being new for me. I love the
song, however, and I'm very anxious to hear a studio version (perhaps
with the samples that are on the Chris Cintron version!) on the EP later
this year. I do appreciate that Mike toned down the _overdone_ bass from
the DoE boot.
O HOLY NIGHT-
I'm not much of a fan of Charlie, but I _love_ this song. I've never
quite heard a hymn done this way before, but I really like it.
Petrucci's great string work and Portnoy's skins are very good, and don't
ruin the feeling of the song. I sure can't wait to hear this one with
LaBrie on the EP (at least I _hope_ the fan club bio is correct in
predicting this release!!) But what's with that intro?!
CARRY THAT WEIGHT-
Again, not being a fan of Dominici, I think he sounds fine here. I
really like the guys' treatment of the Beatles here. Respectful to the
song, yet still definitely Dream Theater! Great conservative drum solo,
there, Mike!
DON'T LOOK PAST ME-
This is one of my favorites on the album. It's too bad that it's only a
demo, so the original recording wasn't probably that fantastic to begin
with. I'd really like to hear it well recorded with James at the Helm.
The song itself is a lot like a WDADU track. The samples are cool, and
Kevin's keys sometimes remind me of Status Seeker. I really like the
time changes, as well. Sorry, but Hendricks has got to go.
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. This is a song that DESERVED
to be heard! I know that's Rich doing the chimpumk imitation in the
background, but is that Kevin on leads? This will entertain me for quite
a long time
TO LIVE FOREVER-
This is a fantastic treatment of this already great tune. I really love
the piano, and is that Myung playing the second "rhythm" guitar part?
Too bad it's sped up a bit, though.....
THE GORILLA SESSION-
Musical masturbation by _THE_ man! Kind of pointless, but still good.
MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE THEME-
This is great! I already have the version from the Lost in the Sky boot,
but it's nice to hear studio outtakes like this. So, Mike, how DID
Z-rock get a copy of this to use on the air?? :>
BACK PAIN JAM-
Recording leaves a bit to be desired, as does the guy talking (!), but
the music is impeccable! No wonder these guys can always come up with
geat studio tracks! I'd be perfectly happy to watch them jam all day
like this!
AWAKE HEAVY JAM-
I like this better than the Back Pain Jam. I like the John/Derek
interplay on this song.
EXPARIMENTAL-
Mying? Give that man a guitar! Yes, a little pointlass agan and without
much structure, but I like acoustic stuff. I hope a version of this
appears later, either on an album or live.
TEARS-
As a hard-core Rush fan, this is a dream (no pun) come true. Before I
heard this, I had no idea how James was going to pull this off, but I'm
impressed. (now I'm anxious to hear how he handled Marillion's Easter)
I hope this appears as a B-side, either on the Silent Man single or the
ACOS EP. These covers deserve to be heard as well...
WINTER-
I'm not a Tori fan, but after this (as well as Kevin's _Song For Tori_),
I think I'm poised to become one! James handles this one well, and I
think he does it justice without sounding like Tiny Tim and being Mr.
Falsetto.
MYSTERY-
Okay, so it's a software thing. Does everyone know this but me? Clue me in?
Overall, I'm very very happy. This one won't be leaving the CD player
for quite some time -- or, until Mike's Cygnus CD shows up at my house!
This compilation was well worth the wait, and is one of the stars of my
collection. Thank you again, Mike.
By the way, where the hell did you get "Vigil" from? Geez, you'd think
you worked for an Italian Boot company the way that tracklist was
labeled! :>

Naaaaaw, you forgot the improv material. Should be at least 5 (one for
each of the band to showcase), plus another where they ALL go at it,
and a 7th with a *special guest*.
Here's a q:
who should the special guest be and what should they play?
I say maybe Mattias Olssen from Anglagard on concert bass drum (they'd
better order the spare drumheads ASAP!), with them perhaps launching
from an extended jam into "Mars" from Holst's The Planets?
Hmm... been done too many times already. How about Orff's Carmina
Burana? THAT should give James plenty of material to work with.
After all, we want to get our money's worth. :)
Maybe we should expand this into a 2-day festival...
Dream Theater's WOIAW (World Of Images And Words)...
with free Portnoy-autographed Pro-Mark drumsticks and Kevin Moore
Sample CD-ROMs for YTSEJAM list members...
AND let people from the audience jam with them!
..naw, now I'm DEFINITELY dreaming... :)

In my last post, the part in Scarred that I was referring to is in 3/4
the entire time. No measure of 4/4. Sorry. Carry on, then. Carry on.
So whaddy'all think? 7-string there or not?

OK, I've lived in ignorance enough, what is the "Cygnus project?"

12/8 is the proper way to write that part, I agree. It eliminates the need
to transcribe a tempo change. However, it is a mere technicallity, as either
method of transcription gives the same results. Most musicians I know freak
out when they see 12/8, but they are perfectly comfortable with 4/4. For
that reason I stuck with 4/4. My next question would be-Is Take the Time
also "officially" transcribed in 12/8? I would suspect that it was, as it is
nearly the same case.
Concerning Rob Devereux's post, I'm damn glad at least Mr. Portnoy agrees
with me.
Enough said.
