I hate making lists like this because I like a LOT of bands (as a matter
of fact, I managed to lump in more than five), but for the sake of
conformity, here goes... :) Besides, I haven't posted in a LONG time!
These are the classics I always find myself going back to--In no
particular order:
Faith No More/Mr Bungle
Suicidal Tendencies (R.I.P. :( )/Infectious Grooves
Ministry (Revolting Cocks, Lard, Pailhead, 1000 Homo DJs, etc)
Dead Kennedys
Metallica
Honorable mentions are too numerous to honorably mention, so I'll leave
it at that. :) Look for a big post from me soon! (like any of you
care... :)

Yo, all you Jammers!
I am writing to address a few questions I saw earlier in the Jams.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Cynic! These are THE boys! If anyone has not yet heard their album,
PLEASE, take my word on it, and buy it! If you are aprehensive about buying
a cd on the word of someone you've never met, write me at AOL, and we can
arrange for me to send you a tape. Unfortunately, Cynic, from what I last
heard, have broken up. They may be recording a last album, but I don't have
any way to confirm this right now. I don't know what either of the
guitarists are up to, but rumor has it the drummer (Sean Rhinert <Spelled
Correctly?>) and the Bassist (Shawn Malone) are working on a fusion-style
album. What I can say for sure, is that Cynic is MORE complex than D.T.
That is not to say that they are better (in fact, I like DT much more) but
they are amazing. Sean not only has some of the fastest feet in the world,
but also does some INSANE polyrhythms... things I (as a guitarist) can't even
BEGIN to explain. Shawn Malone is a fretless Bass Virtuoso. The guitarists
(Paul Masvidal and Jason Gobel) are amazing at composing winding dramatic
rhythms and solos.
Chris Poland CD: Hey, I don't remember who asked, but if you need
it, I'll send it to you. I will even sell my cd if you are interested.
ACOS tab: Hey, Brian, you shouldn't be so easily ruffled. You
were doing well on the tune. Just because some asshole cuts you down once,
you are going to give up? Don't be so weak! Hey! I have volunteered to
transcribe parts of ACOS, and thought I could be of some major help, since I
have a 7-string, but I got no response. I am not ABOUT to transcribe the
whole thing, so if you are still interested, please assign me a part. There
is nothing in the song that I can't handle (or so I think... I could be
wrong).
Finally, GUITARISTS out there, if anyone has any questions about
any of the virtuoso shredders out there, or has facts to share, WRITE ME! I
have about 300 cd's and the majority of them are Guitar solo albums, or
Guitar oriented music (though I am not closed minded-I even listen to BJORK
What's wrong with me!?!?) and I am looking for some people who know their
stuff to talk to. I figure that most of you are at least into cool music,
since you're here, so write! I have lots o' knowledge to share (I even Know
BUCKETHEAD's real name!).
Best Bands\Solo Artists
1).Jason Becker
2) Fates Warning
3) Cynic
4) Al DiMeola
5) Michael Hedges
Probably in that order.
Well this is getting long... I'll shut up now. Hey, on my last message (I'm
on AOL) I sent here, it left a huge section of blank space... To my knowledge
it may do this again. If it does, could any fellow AOL users let me know how
to avert this problem? Thanks!

Blind Melon and Yngwie Malmsteen on tour!!!!!
Ha, wouldn't that be the odd couple of the millenia. Anyway, Blind
Melon did directly bash DT (saying that DT sucked) in a Guitar World interview
sometime back. A few issues later they interviewed JP and he declined to
bash back, only saying something to the effect that he was sorry BM was
so closed minded, but everyone is etitled to their opinions. How humble!
Now on to Yngwie- I love his music. He got me into studying the guitar
and made me really want to impvrove my playing. So he's got a big
mouth, I can live with that. He was one of the first 'shredders'
and he survived the glut of copycats that followed.
TTFN- Sean
P.S. still waiting for Acoustic Dreams (there may soon be a copycat crime

Message-ID: <01HWI9I2PCHE9YDRD6@conrad.appstate.edu>
This question is directed at musicians, but open to everyone, so you can
skip it if you want. I was wondering what kind of setups each of you
played and how you came about playing them. I'm a guitarist in an upstart
metal band, we only do covers for now, and I'm using an Ibanez RG450DX, and
a Peavey Transtube 212 Special (200w). Of course DT had a hand in my
selection of an Ibanez along with it's incredible neck, pickup
configuration, and all around appearance (black). I'm also looking into
processors. Any suggestions? Here's a list of the songs we're currently
covering or working on: Creeping Death, Am I Evil, Fade to Black, Orion all
by Metallica; Walk, Mouth For War, Cemetary Gates, from Pantera; Alexander
the Great and Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden; and I'm trying to get
them to cover Pull Me Under along with Another Day and Surrounded (those
last two are a total mood swing!) Thanks, Brandon
p.s. I just sent off for a copy of Acoustic Drems, from what I've heard I'm
drooling!

Hey Wietze
Have you heard _Dimensions_ by Believer? Any DT fan should check out the
20-minute epic, "The Trilogy of Knowledge", off of that album. Violins,
female vocalists, it's got it all. Later...

Message-ID: <95101610291238@vms9.sci.csupomona.edu>
Hello all:
I just thought I would post my dos centavos on one of the threads that
has recently "come out of the closet":
> Mike S. <eiagm> said:
>...my musical tastes don't depend on what the artists think or do.
Funny thing is, I had this exact same thought last night after I turned
off my computer. I had just participated in an e-mail conversation with
Elliott Kim about liking "other" music, you know, the kind of music that people
think you are really weird for liking. Then, the thought popped in my head
about how many people judge "other music" simply because of what the artist
does outside of the recording studio. I try not to let the "antics" of groups
enter my mind when I listen to them, though sometimes it is extremely hard to
divorce the two (eg, whenever I hear Green Day, I think of Billie Joe spitting
loogies into the bassist's mouth). Then again, those bands that usually get
into trouble are not the bands that I look to for inspiration and lyrical
wonderment, just the ones who pass the time while I am around people who's
necessity for "musical" music is less than mine.
>Frankly, Blind Melon has made some of the more interesting music that I've
>heard in the last few years.
My thoughts exactly. I'm not talking about "No Rain" -- which was a
catchy little tune, but that's it -- I'm talking about the other more intricate
pieces like "Tones of Home". What always makes me laugh is that I had bought
their CD because of ToH and then heard NR, and when NR came out, all of these
people in my HS were saying, "Listen to this great NEW band!" Uhh...sure,
aside from the fact that this album has been out for over 6 months! Most of
those people would never now that ToH and NR are by the same band except for
the singer's voice.
Well, I am just going to "come out of the closet" and say it. I still
listen to those glam bands like Poison, Slaughter, Warrant, and Winger, just
because their songs meant something to me and some point in time. They caught
my attention, and it wasn't because of the make-up or the scantily-clad women
or the fact that almost everyone and their mother listened to them, but because
I liked them. Sure, they're no Dream Theater or Rush or even come close to any
band of their magnitude, but they are sure a helluva lot better than a lot of
the glam crap that was floating around back then.
I think the two most important things that music does is convey a
message or feeling, and provide the key to memories. Whenever I hear a song,
it always triggers something that reminds me of where I first heard it, when,
who I was with, or what happened surrounding that date. This then paves the
way for the overall effect of music: to entertain, inform, or tell a story.
And this story can be theirs (the artists') or yours. And that, my friends, is
what music is all about.
Keep rockin', jammin', jivin', groovin', and kickin' back!

Hey, Mike, thanks for bringing up Jethro Tull. I just got the new one,
_Roots to Branches_. It's like a mix of 70's style Tull and new age
world music. It reminds me a little of Ian Anderson's solo album,
_Divinities_. Hopefully some ytsejammers will check out the new Jethro Tull.
Later guys....

Message-ID: <Pine.A32.3.91.951016140454.128330A-100000@login1.isis.unc.edu>
My first post:
If any YTSEJammers out there care to know, my top 5 non-DT bands are:
1)Extreme (III Sides to Every Story is by far my favorite album ever.
Nuno is just plain unbelievable.Amazing live, too.)
2)Living Colour (Wow. An extremely talented band with some
incredible songs and on of the top 5 best all round guitarists
[Vernon Reid] in the business. Check out "Sunshine of your
Love" on the TRUE LIES soundtrack)
3)24-7 Spyz (Sound a lot like Living Colour. Guitarist Jimi Hazel
is outstanding and fast as hell. These guys make transitions
between fast metal riffs and soft jazz riffs as if it were
nothing. Their album "Strength in Numbers" is one of my top 5
ever.)
4)Live (One of the most energetic and creative song writing bands
to come along in a while. Also amazing in concert.)
5)Rage Against the Machine (Pure energy. Wow.)
Honorable Mentions:Silverchair, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Shootyz
Groove, Flesh, Hum, Weezer. (Some of these may be sort of sellout bands,
but hey, I'm not afraid to admit I think some of these guys are talented
songwriters and musicians(though nowhere near as talented as DT).
Top 5 recently bought CD's:1)24-7 Spyz "Temporarily Disconnected" 2)
Silverchair "Frogstomp" 3)DT "ACoS" 4)Shootyz Groove "Jammin' in a Vicious
Environment" 5)Live "Four Songs"
Sorry for the non-DT tangent. What I want to say is that I hope
the material DT is writing is more like Awake and ACoS than IAW. The
reason I like ACoS so much is that it has that much heavier, darker and
angrier sound that Awake has opposed to IAW. I love the dark sounds of
songs like Lie and The Mirror on Awake, while I find most songs on IAW to
be more soft and keyboardy (excluding Pull Me Under). Don't get me wrong,
I love IAW, but I think that musically, Awake and ACoS are just so much
more stimulating. That is my humble opinion. Oh yeah, I can't tell you
all how many times I have sat in front of my CD player and rewound the
guitar riff in ACoS around 11:?? and 12:?? (it repeats twice, once with a
keyboard solo and a minute later with a guitar solo) again and again. I
love it.
Yes it's time to shut up now. Keep up the good work YTSE-Jam.

One day a couple of years ago, I was browsing through some guitar
magazine in my vain attempt to become "guitar literate." I think Blind
Melon was on the cover. In any case, this magazine had a section where
the magazine would play some songs by different bands for the featured
band/artist to evaluate. One of the songs they played for Blind Melon was
PMU. I remember them saying "Is this a hair band?" and then ripping on
DT. I would love it if someone that has the magazine I'm talking about could
retype it on the list. It's definitely good for a laugh.
Later, when Black Sabbath's tribute album was coming out, Metal
Edge (my favorite magazine) was doing a thing where they had different
people telling how much of an influence Black Sabbath was and is to
music. One of the guys they asked was our own Mike P., who said
something to the effect of "Black Sabbath is the reason that everybody
doesn't sound like Blind Melon."

*Also, my 5 favorite non-DT bands are
1. Poison
2. Warrant
3. Motley Crue
4. Skid Row

I don't remember which mag I read the interview in (Guitar FTPM I
think) but Blind (and apparently DEAF) Melon bashed DT by saying that
they are probably a bunch of long haired losers who someone would listen
to up until about the time they started to grow pubes. They also bashed
Petrucci directly by saying something to the effect of "...I bet the
guitar player's rack has more lights than a Christmas tree...". It
didn't stop there... I think (if I remember correctly) that they
criticized DT for their technical prowess in an attempt to justify their
own musical iniquities. Dream Theater was not the only band that they
bashed for similar reasons in that interview. I'm going to look for that
Magazine and find out which issue it was in and I'll post it for anyone
who might have overlooked it.
Ever since I read that article, I had lost any respect that I
might have had for them, and believe you me... it wasn't much. I can't
tell you what to do, but I would strongly encourage you to boycott them,
not solely on the merit of what they said about DT, but for their total
lack of respect for their fellow musicians. It is unfortunate that we
are in times where these pseudo musicians are the highest commodity. Oh
well, It just goes to show how ignorant the general public is nowadays.
At least we have Dream Theater and Kings X and all of the bands that care
about something more than just the words... the MUSIC.

billboard in the background of
the ad for the JPM100 in the newest issue of Guitar(w/Satch on the cover)
if anyone wants to see where DT got their name. Check it out.
Also if anyone has any Kings X boots or can tell me where to find

The digests I've been reaeding seem to be fairly positive about ACOS,
so I don't exactly know where this is coming from. But for my own
part, it is more interesting to discuss more about a song than "I
loved it!" Take heart! People wouldn't spend so much time digging
into it if it hadn't captured their souls :)

It would be interesting to see the date on this interview. If its

And finally for those interested in the radio interview I mentioned a
couple of weeks ago, the DJ at KSHE (yeah, to however the SLU guy is,
you're not the only 'Jammer in St Louis) said they were looking for it
and would let me know by the end of this week. Will keep you posted.

My 5 favorite groups other than Dream Theater are:
1) Extreme
2) Def Leppard
3) Metallica
4) Guns n' Roses
5) Scorpions
Those bands don't even compare with my actual favorite, Dream Theater!

My favorite bands would probably have to be:
(besides Dream Theater of course)
1) Nine Inch Nails
2) Tool
3) Faith No More
4) Queensryche
5) Rush
6) Def Leppard (even though I'm becoming quite disappointed with their
newer stuff and the people on LepNet are making sure to tell me that I
suck because I dare to think that a couple of DL's songs are bad...but
that's another story)
I'd also like to say that it's quite refreshing to hear so many
open-minded people with such varied music tastes and that we can pretty
much all get along! It's nice to know that people who like DT also can
like artists such as Sarah McLaughlin, Tori Amos, Alanis Morisette,
Megadeth, etc., etc. It gives a fresh perspective on everything and I
look forward to hearing everyone's opinions.

P.S. I think Alanis is quickly becoming my #7 on the above list.
P.S.S. ACOS is definitely the God of Songs!!

my five favorite bands other than Dream Theater
1. Pearl Jam
2. Live
3. Brad
4. the Crow soundtrack (yes i know it's not a band, it's a cd, but anyway
it's in my stereo more than any other)
5. Vitreous Humor--indie band on Crank (the label)
and yes, i freely admit that i like pearl jam, that i always have and that
i always will. yes i think eddie vedder has a serious martyr complex and
that he just needs to calm down sometimes. don't get me wrong, i totally
respect ed and by the way he is one of the nicest humans i've ever met-the
rest of the band are really great guys too. but i do have to admit that
these guys are soooo intense when they play. i've seen them five times and
have never been let down. this summer at Red Rocks in Denver, they ended
up playing for over two hours just because they liked the venue so much.
and i'm sure i'll get flamed for this--if anyone bothers to read the post
that is--but i do like punk pop stuff like Green Day(who once again are
really nice guys) and Rancid. i don't necessarily think they have any
musical talent, but they're entertaining and mindless-much like tv. DT is
a band that you HAVE to pay attention to when you listen to them, but
sometimes i feel like zoning out. it's like the difference between
Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy and Shakespear--both are classic, but at
opposite ends of the spectrum.

No, I'm not talking about clothing.
Spectacular that this has finally come around, but my five favorite
guitarists are:
1. Steve Vai (whoah, big surprise)
2. John Petrucci
3. Nuno Bettencourt
4. Blues Saraceno
5. Vito Bratta
My honorable mentions: Jennifer Batten, Reb Beach, Dimebag Darrell, Paul
Gilbert, and last but most definitely not least, Joe Satriani. Anyone know
when Bratta or Beach's solo albums are supposed to appear?
AND... Does anyone still have their "Exploding Cow" from many months ago?
All you 'Jammers I mailed one to? Anyone? If so, please fire one back to
me, as I have lost my herd.
Moo!
Bafu Vai

Great art rock...
>-Torman Maxt
I haven't heard 'em, but I've heard that they are much like QR and
DT...
>-Deliverance
Their old stuff rules, very speed metal...their new stuff is cool
too, though Jimmy tends to rip off of QR TOO MUCH!!!
>-Tourniquet
I love this band!!! I've seen 'em 3 times and they are really
intense...especially their new vocalist Luke Easter...I still like
their older speed/prog metal with all of the classical melodies in
the riffs etc.
>-King James
Ouch, that hurts! 80's metal in the 90's... I had this CD (mainly
because of Rob and Tim of Stryper playing on it), but quickly sold it
because it got on my nerves so much...
>These are all Christian prog rock/metal bands. It's a shame these

A shame for the first 4, but I'm glad that KJ is not so well known,
IMO (not a flame against your opinion).
