    I saw FW and DT together in St. Louis. I think it was the first date
    they toured together. It was actually quite a surprise because I Mother
    Earth was originally slated to be the opening band. So, obviously it was
    quite a treat to see Fates Warning. They were really good in my
    opinion. They played a lot of stuff from Inside Out and Parallels, but
    didn't play a lot of the really early stuff. I personally thought their
    earlier stuff had really awful vocals, but really cool time changes and
    progressive vibe. Anyway, it was a great way to warm up to Dream
    Theater! The lead singer was right on and they all looked like they were
    having fun up there on stage, though I felt a bit sorry for them because
    no one seemed to know their material and they've been around so much
    longer than DT. When DT came on, the guys from FW sat up in the top
    balcony and watched the show. It was pretty cool. I would have loved to
    go up there and meet them, A) I didn't want to miss a second of DT and B)
    I probably couldn't have gotten up to the top balcony!

    << Anyway, I'm considering picking up something else by them. What would you
    people suggest. I tend to lean more towards the commercial side of prog. >>

    Savatage and the "commercial" side of prog? Ummm... I'd have to suggest
    _Edge of Thorns_ then. _Streets_ is a miasma of different styles, from hard
    rock to straight out *metal* to some softer stuff; you might like that as
    well. But if you get a wild hair and decide to try something that's a lot
    heavier altogether, there's _Gutter Ballet_ and _Hall of the Mountain King_
    (hint, hint) Anything they've done before that seems to appeal only to the
    people who are *really* into Savatage, so I wouldn't recommend those if
    you're just getting into them. I haven't picked up _Dead Winter Dead_ yet
    (hey, I'm a poor college student, I'm living on freebies from Mausoleum and
    Century Media until Christmas!), so I can't comment on that one.

    << Could someone please post information on this - which IRC server is
    #ytsejam on? >>

    Seconding that request... I have free access to Netscape and therefore
    GlobalChat and all that neat stuff, but I need to know what server before I
    can make the attempt to find the ytsejam room.

    Message-ID: <m0tBogT-0000KJC@donews.cts.com>

    For anyone who's curious (I know someone requested it, but I lost his
    address), here are the lyrics to "Perfect Strangers," straight from the
    liner notes of Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers" CD:

    Can you remember, remember my name
    As I flow through your life
    A thousand oceans I have flown
    And cold, cold spirits of ice
    All my life
    I am the echo of your past

    I am returning the echo of a point in time
    Distant faces shine
    A thousand warriors I have known
    And laughing as the spirits appear
    All your life
    Shadows of another day

    And if you hear me talking on the wind
    You've got to understand
    We must remain
    Perfect strangers

    I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow

    A strand of silver hanging through the sky
    Touching more than you see
    The voice of ages in your mind
    Is aching with the dead of night
    Precious life (your tears are lost in falling rain)

    And if you hear me talking on the wind
    You've got to understand
    We must remain
    Perfect strangers

            It was PMU ofcourse . So I was a little offkey there !!
            Almost could picture you dinging infront of your screen there =)

            Can we restrict the cristian/anti-christian comments in here
            to a DT context (lyrics/otherwise). There are better lists
            for religious work (or are there ? =). Now no-one's REALLY done

            Just a quick post, as I am about to go to bed and try to recover
    from the resurgence of the flu I had a few weeks ago (sorta feels like I
    never really recovered, eh?) to mention a few things...

            To reiterate what I said before: Now that Acoustic Dreams is sold
    out, I give permission for anyone to dub it for anyone else freely.
    Jean-Francois Cote' is putting together a dub list for AD like the one
    Trey did for Subconscious. Contact him if you have a good stereo and a
    copy of the CD.

            But Ed, I _like_ all the Hi Mike notes! :)

            OK those of you going to the Los Angeles DrumDay thingy on the
    18th, I already know me, Steve McMaster, Dr. Mosh, Justin Poulter, and
    Steve Soukup are going, and I suspect many more are as well. We want to
    try and meet beforehand if possible... if not, afterfoot (afterhand?) So
    be on the lookout, we'll try to be obvious.

            Listen in Voices... there are three voices in the "should I turn
    on my religion" passage. Spoken, low. Sung, low. James, medium-high. Then
    there are three in the "Seen my diary on the newsstand" part. The high
    part is doubled OR phased, if single. I love those harmonies... that's
    what makes the end of Lifting Shadows so noteworthy.

            One day an indian (Native American, whatever) was getting a ride
    home from his rancher buddy in the newfangled pickup truck. The cowboy
    kept going fast, and the indian asked "White man, why you go so fast?" To
    which the cowboy replied, "Keeps cool air coming into the engine, keeps
    it cool, makes it work harder and keeps it in good condition, you know?"
            The indian replied, "Hmmm. Indeed. Go faster to keep engine good
    condition. I understand." A while later, they hit the highway, and the
    cowboy sped up again, far and away faster than when he had been in town.
    The indian asked, "My friend, you go too fast. Why?" The cowboy,
    irritated, answered, "I already told you. To keep the engine running
    cooler, and to keep the motor working." To which the indian replied,
    "Huh. Running cooler, working harder. I see."
            Finally, the cowboy made it into indian land where the speed
    limits had not yet been established. He sped up again, to a disastrously
    unsafe speed. The indian was afraid and said "White man, please slow
    down. We could crash. Why is it you must go so fast?" The cowboy snarled
    at him and replied hastily. "Look, I've about had it with you and your
    damn questions. I go fast to keep the engine cool. Now will you shut up
    until we get back to yer village?" The indian nodded, confused.
            Once he got back to the village, the indian mounted his horse and
    galloped off into the open fields. "Hyah! Hyah!" he yelled, spurring the
    horse on faster and faster. The steed sped across the meadows, churning
    up dirt with his hooves, and breathing heavily. But the indian would not
    stop! He bade the horse run faster, faster, and faster still, with no
    chance of resting. Finally, the weary stallion collapsed outright,
    dropping dead in the dirt and throwing the indian a good distance.
            The indian dusted off his moccasins, walked back over to the dead
    horse, and looked at it, scratching his forehead in confusion over this
    event. "Hmmmm. Must have froze to death."

    I finally found my way to the IRC chat room. It's just frustrating waiting
    there because no one is there. I gotta thank Ben Laussade for his help on
    finding the area. I was totally lost, but we kept E-Mailing each other.
    He almost carried me there. Anyway, I hope to speak to other Ytsejammers
    on real time at the Ytsejam IRC room.

    Subject: Fates Warning and a band to which you should listen...
    Message-ID: <9511050331.AA26809@>

    I. Fates Warning
     
    See, I take instruction on subject lines... Anyway, since there are Fates
    Warning fans on this list I will provide the following information: There
    is
    a Fates boot available through CDnow! called "Through Different Eyes."
    It was recorded 3/12/89 in Philadelphia, PA. Sound quality: Pretty good in
    my opinion. Each instrument is readily audible and the only distortion
    occurs
    when Ray goes for the high notes. Overall, I would put it at B+ with an A+
    being an official live release that was well recorded. Don't quote me
    because
    I am not too familiar with boot quality. It's as good or possibly a little
    worse
    than Iron Maiden's "Eddie's Boys, ten years old" if that helps any. Track
    listing:
    1. Intro
    2. Fata Morgana
    3. Part of the Machine
    4. Silent Cries
    5. Static Acts
    6. Through Different Eyes
    7. The Apparition
    8. Damnation
    9. Exodus
    10. Time Long Past
    11. Nothing Left to Say
    12. The Ivory Gate of Dreams
     
    II. Imperium
     
    The second subject is just a recommendation for those of you who are
    searching
    for a new band to listen to. If you like the heavier aspect of prog metal,
    I suggest
    the purchase of Imperium's disc "Too Short A Season." Just a suggestion.
    Good
    singer, fairly complex musicianship, and a fresh sound.

    Well lit is ASatyurday night and I just read Mike's post. Shit mike, you are almost as drunk as GRAHAM after all those free beers. The only thing is Mike, you make a LOT more sense than ' most who post'...hey that rhymes...is that spelled correctly? I have had about 20 too many beers myself so I can't type worth a shit. Don't forget that you promised me a FREE copy of WDATU. I have it on tape..........somewhere....I think...DOE!! By the way I think that AD is a fraud. I mean Hairball is one of the Musicians?? DON'T THINK SO....this all tells me that for some reason...the DREAM THEATER members have had to go into the Witness Protection Program. That is why the names HAD to be changed. What does this mean for the band?? I don't know. Will they have to wear masks?? Again I don't know!! Touring may be a thing of the past. I volunteeer to stand in front of the band to take any bullets or grenades. Mike Bahr....you know the secrets and the answers...reply to me in code.

    Hey. Thanks to those of you that explained IRC to me. I think I pretty much figured it out. Anyway, I was on Rush's channel, #p/g, earlier, and me and another guy thought of a cool idea. We should organize a particular time and day to meet up on #ytsejam, so we can get together and chat. I'll suggest Monday nights at 9:00 Eastern. If there are any better suggestions, or whatever, post 'em. I've found IRC works best when there's more than one person on. :) -Chris

    That ^ is not a quote, but a possesive contraction...oooh, sounds kinky! Anyway, this is a musically irrelevant post, but I just read Mike Bahr's drunk letter, "hic...", and added it to my recent collection of posts typed while the 'Jammer was drunk. Among them, Graham B. (the first, I believe) and dark star (vulgar but amusing). I began to wonder about something: when a person gets drunk (a 'Jammer in particular), what in the world would possess them to (1) turn on their computer, (2) log in to their account, (3) go into e-mail, and (4) post a letter to the 'Jam? This is not a flame, but personally I can think of better things to do while I am drunk, like pick up a sober friend's order in a VERY bright fast-food restaurant, or listen to BOSTON's _Third Stage_ (which prompted me to buy it the next day), or kick a sober stranger's ass at "Justice League Task Force" on SNES (hey, it was on and he needed to be shown a lesson, that dumb-ass). Plus, all of these seem to require less work...I think. Hard...to...recall. Anyway, I am just wondering how many other 'Jammers like to get on the computer when drunk. This is more introspective (on your part), so this is NOT a poll, but if anyone has interesting drunk stories they are just DYING to share, you may e-mail me personally. Send these to my other account: DGSwanston@CSUPomona.Edu it's less crowded...no 'Jams. :)

Y: That's quite an ego you got there, kid. Obviously, you are more gifted than myself. I can't see music. I can only hear it. J: What? Call me a cynical fuck, but that sounds like a case of Full-Flannel Impairment! Y: I am NOT wearing flannel. J: You might as well! DT's gonna get real popular, move to Seattle, and start wearing flannel and big boots! Then they can tour with Hole! Yeah! I can't wait for John Myung to grow a beard! His wife is expecting triplets, did you know that? Y: Ahem. Did you say "Hole?" Queensryche I can understand, Fates Warning, sure, but Hole? I don't know if their music really jibes with DT's progressive metal. One's a bit heavier than the other. J: Are you...DISCRIMINATING??? Y: Actually, I am. I don't think DT and Hole would make a very good show. J: Sure it would! The mixed fans would start kicking each other's asses!! Vidal Sassoon Hair vs. Violet-Silver Dreadlocks! Hi-tops vs. Combat Boots! Yeah, maybe people will be wearing those gigantic John Myung-style boots! Then there'll be people wearing wild, multicolored, flowing silk shirts like Petrucci! And they'll all get ripped up from the nails of angry Hole fans! Y: You're really getting into this idea, aren't you? J: Yeah! I'm angry, like my friend Jason Fickett at Arizona State University, Student Publications, Box 871502, Tempe, Arizona, 85287-1502! Y: Who? That guy who reviewed A Change Of Seasons? J: Yeah, at campus mailbox #1502!! I got his address so I can write to him about his blasphemous review of ACOS! I'm ravenous and I'm going to EAT HIM ALIVE!!! Y: Hold your fire, Jam, that doesn't sound very calculated. As your counterpart, it seems to me like you're really rolling the bones with this one. Just calm down. J: Huh? Y: Really, you're off to a bad genesis with this idea. J: You think so? Y: Yes. J: But his review was a crime worse than murder! Tell the king! Tell the queen! GUARDS!! SEIZE HIM!! Y: And what? Throw him in the iron maiden? Look, he's just a chronicler. He writes because it's his job. J: But I have to write him SOMETHING, whether I agree with him or not! It's my sole purpose in life! I'll curse him out so bad it'll make Elliott Kim jealous!! Y: You really like causing trouble, don't you? J: Yes!! Trouble and chaos! REVOLUTION!! Y: Revolution? Oh, that's around here somewhere... J: Cool! Shoogagoogagunga!! Y: So who do you think that is on the cover of ACOS? Some say it's Mike Portnoy himself. J: No way!! It's Richard Savage's little brother's head superimposed over a photo of Leonardo Di Caprio's torso with an added lower body of an amputee victim! Y: Oh yeah... I never noticed that before. It does sort of look like a bastard-incarnation of three bodies meshed together via computer- enhancement. J: Exactly!! Y: Really, I think it's all one kid, and you can't see his legs because he's kneeling. J: Kneeling? Why would he be kneeling? He's begging in the snow! Look, he's got a bucket to collect spare change in and everything!! And no clothing except for those blue boxers!! He's a beggar!! Y: That's quite an idea you have there. J: ME? It wasn't MY idea! DT finished recording ACOS, and were trying to come up with an album-cover idea, when who do they run into on the sidewalk outside the studio? None other than Charlie Dominici!! Right there in the snow singing "Oh Holy Night"!! So they said... "You know, Charlie---" Y: Ah, I think you're getting a bit off-base with this one. J: Yeah, offbase like Hairball!! I'm exactly 4.82 kHz offbase from my mid-ranged sub-sonic bass-frequencies. Were I to increase my output by 9.18 kHz molten lava, my opinions would be properly mixed for hi-fi mailing list stereo speakers. Y: You're quite a techy, I see. J: A what? A Trekky? You like STAR TREK?! They're not DT-related!! They're not even a BAND!! Now I shall have to thrash you!! Y: Well, you said molten lava, so you could have been talking about Vulcanology, which is the study of volcanoes and Mr. Spock, or so I'm told. J: Yeah, yeah. Live long and prosper. \\//_ Y: So tell me, Jam, I've been dying to ask you about this. How do you pronounce "Ytsejam?" J: I pronounce it like James does on whatever bootleg I happen to be listening to at the moment, whether it's "YEET-SEE-JAAYYUUMM!!" or "YIT-SAY-JAM!!" or "YET-SEH-JAAHHMM!" Y: So it's an ever-changing pronounciation? J: Yeah! Sometimes I forget how to pronounce it, then it's right back to squeeeh waaah. Y: Don't you mean "square one?" J: Same thing. Y: Aha. And what album do you think has the best production? J: Images & Words!! ONLY IMAGES & WORDS!! Better production than ALL other albums!! Y: Wait, is DT the only band you listen to? J: OF COURSE!! DT ROCKS!! Y: Is that all they do? J: NO! DT ROOLZ!! Y: And? They just rock and rule? J: DT DROOLZ!! Y: Okay. I see you're a fanatic. J: Damn straight!! DT could kick any other band's ASS!! Y: I'm going to have to give Ivanhoe a listen. I hear that those boys rival DT in musicianship. J: Impossible! "That is not an option, Mr. Mulder." Y: Eeek. You and your X-Files... J: Yeah! DT and The X-Files! What more do you need?! Mulder and Myung kick ass! In fact, they kick more ass than Rob Zombie, Al Jorgensen, James LaBrie during any live performance, and Glenn Danzig PUT TOGETHER!!

    'Jammers, After more listening to AD, I'm still sticking with my original thought that the production on this boot is better than WDADU. There is only slightly stronger bottom on WDADU, but the whole thing sounds like its recorded in a felt lined tin can. Way to go Mike! I agree with the person who said you should use this as a resume. On Scarred being played live: I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think they played in in SLC at Saltair last November 25. I went with a couple of friends and I asked them about it and they're sure too. However, since they served beer and we drank several of them, this is why I'm not exactly sure on this. Bryan (ORBITMIS) you went to that one too, can you help? Was I just drunk or did they play it? I remember it because of the opening bass line was kind of faded at first but then it got boosted. On other stuff, I got into metal when I was very young (9). Now this is gonna tell my age but here's the story: I was watching American Bandstand (now that's old) one Saturday morning when DC announced this band and their "wall of sound". The band was Blue Cheer and they played in front of a wall of Marshalls. TV sound being what it was then, and I'm not saying when, I was impressed because I thought for the most part music on the radio was pretty lame (I still do as I never hear anything I like). They played Summertime Blues and listening to all that distorted guitar prompted me to buy the album, which I did. I still have it and it is listenable. Anyway, from that point on, I was hooked into acid rock then metal and now prog metal. Enough rambling.

    Wilmo

    So, SUE me. You said you didn't want three thousand "Hi Mike!"'s. This isn't one. This is a "Thank you, Mike!" So here goes:

    ***SKIP THIS IF YOU ARE NOT MIKE PORTNOY***

    All the Ytse-Jammers will probably get pissed off at me for this, but I wanted to thank you. Although we've never met, you are probably my greatest teacher. You have influenced my drumming more than anyone(thing) else I know. You have taught me not to stop at the difficult and have filled my learning capacity to the brim. Not to mention tons of cool fills. :-) The above sounds kind of cheesy, but it's true. Since no one else on the Jam really cares about what I said up there, I jumped at the chance to say something to you. If all you Jammers are irritated by this, TOO BAD. Once again, Thank you.

    Thanks to those who helped me out with the lyrics, but I've hit a stumbling block with a couple sections....

    I need the part in the Zepplin medly from 06:09 on, and from 2:13 to 2:25. It wasn't in the text file I got from www.indirect.com, so any of you who can decifer what James says or have the original lyrics from the Zepplin album handy, please e-mail it to me.

    I also need to know what he sings after "Action...." at the end of the Pink Floyd song...

    Thanks again... rq

    I don't know how far Utrecht is from there, but a German DT fan I know says there is a massive record fair in Utrecht that weekend. Are you going to do your jams in a Scottish accent ? And don't forget the Kwells. Have a great weekend. - all spoken in the southern accent of someone born in Liverpool. Patricia

    Hi 'jammers! Last weekend was the second time I made a 10-hour-train-trip to see/hear a band. The first time (of course) it was DT, and now: Superior! Superior is a German progressive metal band -with fellow 'jammer Bernd on guitar-, they just (independently) released their first album (which is brilliant!) and hope to get a record deal in the near future... I never would have expected so many people at the CD-release-show of a band that doesn't have a record deal yet (around 500, I think, weisst Du's genau, Bernd?)! The show was really great! They played all songs from the CD plus three from their demo, and they did a good job! The light was fantastic, at the after-show-party (thanks, Bernd!) we had a long discussion if it was better than DT's.... Besides the good music it was nice to meet 4 other 'jammers (Hi Evelyn, Bernd, Dimi, Tilman!). So watch out for the forthcoming Superior WWW-page with samples! I'm sure a lot of you would like the CD! Ask Bernd (basmer@med-rz.uni-sb.de) if you wannna order it.

    Carpe diem!
