Hey all,

> Not as easy as you might think....

Oh don't even try me on Metallica trivia Ben :=). First, when they were
recording Hit the Lights for Metal Massacre, it was James Hetfield(also on
bass), Lars Ulrich, Dave Mustaine, and another lead punched in by a Jamaican
guitarist named Lloyd Grant.
After that, Ron McGovney agreed to play bass and their lineup became..
James-JUST vocals for a while, eventually took up rhythm guitar too
Lars-Drums
Mustaine-lead guitar
Ron McGovney-bass
Now these poll results surprised me...

Wow! Seems like most people need to go back and really give WDaDU a good
listen. I think people are shadowing the whole album behind Charlie's vocals
and the poor production, but there's really great DT music on there! With
James (as probably evident on the upcoming Antiquities) those songs are just
as good as I&W and Awake in my opinion. Kevin is especially showcased on
this album. Go back and give it a good listen, I think you'll find something
new. If you still don't like it...oh well, I tried :)

I'm not sure WHO is doing this poll (Mike Bahr), but they seemed to
have forgotten MY favorite concept album...Genesis' "Lamb Lies Down on
Brodway"! I think that this would DESTROY most other concept albums...also, I
didn't know that Tori Amos' "Little Earthquakes" was a concept album, I guess I
never listened to it with that in mind.... Brian

This idea is obviously attractive for a number of reasons. First, it would
mean that high quality live material would be readily available. Secondly, it
would legalize the process ensuring that we wont ever have to chip in to
spring MB from an Arizona jail. And lastly, the band would have to reap some
financial benefit from the whole thing.
On the other side, however, it would mean that DT would have to take their fan
club more seriously ......

Hi everyone and Bafu Vai,
(again the mention-Bafu-Vai-in-your-Ytsemail tradition to now be called
mBViyY)
RUSH!! Aw damn it!! Somebody said Rush in the Ysejam! DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!
Don't ya know that all we can talk about is Dream Theater and that's it? DOH!
I guess I'll have to unsubscribe from the YML! :) Oh BTW, ADTC stands for All

Ya know, this is scary - Ive often thought the same thing. Imagine that -
Im thinking the same thing as our very own Bathroom - er - Bafu Vai! This is
SCARY!! :) Joking aside, I know exactly what Bafu is talking about (I think
back to those Circus, RIP and Hit Parader mags I had from the late 80s) and I
have a very strong feeling that grunge will die in a couple years (if not
sooner) just as the 80s metal (shall we call it hair metal?) died off.
What will replace it? Who knows? But I will state that while Id love to see
progressive bands become very successful, I hope that prog will not become the
in type of music because then it (just like grunge and hair metal) will
become a joke with all the new bands sounding like everyone else, just as
grunge bands sound now and hair metal bands did in the late 80s.

I need information - information! (quote from the Prisoner TV show and Maiden
tune). Lets hear more about em (Leviathan). After all, Threshold and
Ivanhoe have been mentioned and they both are awesome (though I must admit
that echolyn and Mastermind do nothing for me-sorry). Also, any other info on
bands on the Rock the Nation label would be appreciated.
>From me:
>Okay, DT content: I am wondering about the instrumental that follows
>TLF on the 5/15/93 gig. Note: this was *not* Bombay Vindaloo, the extended
>jam or Barfbag - its a different instrumental that I never heard before.
Heh heh, I forgot to add what is the name of this instrumental? Anyone?
And while Im on the subject, what was the name of the instrumental that
immediately followed LSoaD on most of the Awake tour? I dont think it was A
Crack in the Mirror as I would expect that was the title of the heavy lead-in
to the Mirror. Also, do any of the solo pieces have names or are they just
called bass solo, drum solo, etc.
On the moshing thread: no Im sure most of you fellow jammers are quite the
intelligent type who would never try to hurt another person while moshing.
HOWEVER, there were many (ahem) assholes at the Milwaukee show that were doing
it to hurt people. Chances are these people were not jammers and were not
intelligent (save for the fact that they were at a DT show). I can still
picture clearly a big fat Neanderthal who thought it would be great fun to ram
his fat ass into an already jam-packed area in front of the stage. These
people are there not for the music, but just as an excuse to mosh and inflict
pain on someone else. Again, Im not referring to you jammers (unless you do
like to inflict pain) so dont take it personally. If you guys wanna mosh,
fine, just please dont do it by me. And as to crowd surfing, dont do it!
Ive been kicked in the head too many times and that to me was PAIN! For me
both the moshing and crowd surfing *really* took away from my enjoying the
concert - I was too DAMN worried about my *safety* to pay attention to the
music. For the record, I myself like to head bang and move to the music (not
mosh) during the show. Lastly, I dont know about what the band in general
thinks of moshing, but I can understand them being pissed if it was happening
during Another Day or Surrounded. On the other hand, I can easily envision
Mike P being in the middle of a mosh pit.
Okay Im done (stepping off the soapbox).

Subject: Savatage: A Christian Band???
Message-ID: <01HXSKJOXTBM0044D0@VAX1.MANKATO.MSUS.EDU>
I bought Streets by Savatage the other week and have been steadily been
listening to it lately. It is the first album I've owned of them and am very
happy with it and am probably going to pick up Dead Winter Dead if I see it
next time I hit civilization. (College does that to ya...)
My question is, is Savatage a Christian band??? I mean, one of the first
songs, "Jesus Saves" is basically about a guy named DT Jesus selling drugs to
people, thereby "Saving" them from their realities. But look at the damn title
of the song! Obviously we have some parallel meanings going on here!
Anyway, looking at the rest of the album, I have a sneaking suspicion that
they are indeed a Christian Rock-band. They're just kind of subtle about it
and maybe deliver their message under the guise of a "traditional" prog-metal
band. (Whatever THAT means. =)
Are these Christian overtones present in Dead Winter Dead?
For the record, I am a Christian myself and don't at all mind these overtones
in Savatage's music. I will defend my religion to the end, but do realize that
the Ytsejam is NOT a place for this to be done! (This is directed to another
fellow Christian on the 'Jam. Defend, but please don't preach.)

I GOT IT!!!!!!! Very special thanks to David Kuznick for sending it to me. David, I lost your e-mail address, so I didn't write to you personally. If any of you fellow 'jammers don't yet have this disc, run out and buy it NOW! It sounds SSSSOOOOOOOOOOO good, it was hard to keep it turned down low enough and yet loud enough to get the feeling of actually being there. Now I know what you were all talking about with that guy screaming during Bombay Vindaloo. Whatta jerk.... Alright, now for some non-DT talk. I just picked up some early Genesis remasters. They sound really great, for a change. I had Foxtrot from a few years ago. The difference can be compared to, on one hand, eating vanilla ice cream and on the other, having flaming hot candle wax poured into your navel. Talk to all of you later, George.

I sure hope this moshing thread dies quickly. So to contradict myself let me say something about moshing. Watching moshers( up in front where those who go to _watch_ the band can't get to) is like watching Fucking Idiots on Pogo sticks, monkeys at the zoo (sorry to insult monkeys). If you guys want to mosh then why not go out into the parking lot, turn up someone's car stereo, and have at it.
Randy Aquino said "someone else said that DT doesn't like moshing. Now whether this is true or not shouldn't matter. I mean WE PAY their salaries. We should be able to mosh if we want to. If you are trying to please DT then you a (sic) sad example of living" ****************************************************************************** ************************** Pleasing the band has nothing to do with it... "respecting" the band's wishes does. As far as paying their salaries...what a load of convoluted thinking...read that as "Bullshit". To continue your train of "thought"......OK...I would like to get up on stage with them and start playing one of JP's guitars...hell, I pay his salary too, and I play guitar. Moshers probably make up 1% of DT fans. You people are a very small minority, accept it.(another example of _your_ logic)
Yes Randy, how arrogant and inconsiderate James LaBrie must be...the band dedicates years of effort, years of practice, puts their souls into their songs, and he gets pissed off because he sees a bunch of people jumping, falling down, elbowing, kicking, punching each other.( While those that came to watch and listen (BAFU VAI) have to stay in the back so they don't get nailed by a mosher.) No wonder the band loves to play in Japan!!
There are a lot of other newgroups where you can talk about the fine art of moshing.....Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, etc. See Ya!
OK...just got my three T-shirts from Jason. They are cool. Haynes quality...big Dream Theater on the back, glow in the dark lettering " let the light surround you...", DT logo on the front. First class quality, shipped priority mail!! Do I get a free hat for this endorsement??
And for those who don't like some of the content on the Jam....there are a lot of us posting and there is going to be some interaction between us...some humor, some flames, a lot of sometimes non-DT subjects...kind of like a big 'family' on the net. I really like catching glimpses of everyone's different personalities. We all have a common bond and we all are different...(like BAFU VAI, for example, when he is not taking his medication). So lighten up and enjoy.
I am the screamer in LaTM...HAIRBALL ( vocals, rhythm guitar on Acoustic Dreams) will confirm this...he is the one who poked one of Portnoy's drumsticks in my ear...I was screaming in pain.

I have seen good 'jam's and not so good 'jam's, but this one is by far the worst. When I read these, I like to see the talk about Dream Theater and Rush. I don't mind hearing the progress reports on Acoustic Dreams or WDATU. I even like hearing about the people that have recently received their own copy of AD, (I am still waiting on mine. #'s 352 and 353). But what I don't want to see is another DT/NIN like banter amongst us talking about God. I go to church on Sunday (the good Catholic that I am). I get my dose of religion while I am there. Then I go home and read the latest 'jam that came in. Lately I have been reading about people that are trying to push God on me in the 'jam. Listen people, if you are christian, that's great. Stop selling me religion! I'd rather buy a hat with a 'jam logo on it. On a lighter note, I have the new subwoofers in the Neon. I did see a response from Bafu Vai (required content) about the cones joining me in the front seat. I send him an e-mail privately, but he either doesn't read them, or doesn't care to talk privately. Hey, Bafu, how does it feel to be Howard Hughes? Too big to be a common man and too small to talk to the commom man..... Talk to all of you soon, George. Start flame now............

this goes to "soup."
I'M SO SORRY, BUT YOU ARE WRONG!!! the answer was b, geroge washington.
apparently, you missed some other person who posted a rather curious post about the "rare" acos, and was surprsied that "kevin moore wasn't in the current lineup."
my intentions in my "theatre" post were to poke some fun. obviously, i wouldn't charge for the "rare" images and words, now would i? hee hee hee.
you, my friend have fallen into the trap of thinking i couldn't spell. i was fully aware of the proper spellings of theater and ytsejam. so no, you don't have to correct everyone. thanks for your concerns, nonetheless.
trey, i was going to send you a personal email about people who are going to the shows, but being that i just got back from a long and tiring rehearsal, i'm too lazy. so i'm going to the ct and ny shows. i think i hit matt (siriois ??) also, but just in case.....
to the fellow wanting to know where to start with elp: PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN!!
start with one of these a) brain salad surgery b) tarkus c) trilogy d) pictures at an exhibition
and if you really like it, get the box set. it is fantastic!! anything up to more or less bss is incredible, and then when they hit the mid 70s, they start cheesing out. and although i absolutely love the new "pictures" they did, most of their new stuff is poor. alas.
to rob quezada- mucha gracias para la informacion. i just got flooded with jams.
thank you, that is all for now. peace david, the magical, not related to kaoru, and bulbous kobayashi

I have a tape of Stu Hamm playing bass for Satch, last time they visited Glasgow, and he played a fucking awesome bass solo! My jaw literally hit the ground . . . I didn't know that kind of thing was possible!

I saw 2112 here in State College. They were actually very good. Pretty much played all of Rush to a tee. They only played older stuff, Subdivisions being the latest song they played. However, I'll have to say that their singer sings the old stuff better than Geddy does now. This is NOT blasphemy. We all know that Geddy is getting older and he just can't hit that high stuff as well as he used to. At any rate, check these guys out.

I think we might be barking up the wrong tree here.... As I recall, the bestselling album of all times is a Christmas album.
(Am I close, whoever posted the original question? I'm thinking it was "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby.)

Umm...guessing here. Hetfield, Ulrich, Dave Mustaine and Ron McGovney? (or something like that).

In ytsejam1138, someone wrote: >>You forgot that Cliff (god) Burton died in a bus accident in 1986 on the >>Master of Puppets tour. Then they got Jason Newsted. I think Queensryche is >>right, but somebody said no. Anybody know why?
Queensryche is correct. They have the same five members since the EP back in 1983. If they had different members before then, I don't know. But the survey only counts for album releases, and queensryche has had the same lineup for all recordings.
In ytsejam1139, Ben Laussade asks: >>Who were the four original members of Metallica? If you mean from Kill 'Em All, then it's Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammet, and Cliff Burton. But have a compilation LP from 1982 called "Metal Massacre" that has Metallica doing "Hit the Lights." The line up is: James Hetfield - Vocals Dave Mustaine - Guitar Ron McGouney - Bass Lars Ulrich - Drums Lloyd Grant - Guitar
I copied this directly from the LP jacket. I don't know if this is original or not. But it's the earliest "official" release of a Metallica song that I own.
