They only have one album, called "For Madmen Only", but it's not
widely available. Some record stores must have it, though.

ok, ok..gear, eh? since i don't want to bore others and myself with my guitar
gear, i'll go with my keyboard gear. it's still relatively new, but here
goes.
yamaha clavinova pfp100- not the cheesy clavs from the 80s, a very nice 90s
kboard/controller. 88 keys, weighted. really nice piano sound.
korg x2- wanted the x3, but couldn't deal with just 61 keys, so went for the
one with 76 keys.
peavey kb 100- is this amp the standard or something?
if anyone has any suggestions on nice modules to pick up, i would like to
hear thy opinions. also, guitarists, i am looking for a new amp. anyone with
a boogie amp? if so, please talk to me. anyone else with an amp that sounds
extraordinary, the same for you. finally, i am looking for the best sounding
phaser or flange (analog, preferably). if anyone has something that makes
them sound like david gilmour or steve howe, talk to me as well.
to mister bafu vai- i intended to put messrs. vai and satriani together
because as you and i know, they grew up together and all that jazz, and,
although there are indeed some differences, i hear a lot of similarities
between the two. not necessarily bad, but there surely a lot of them. unlike
you, however, i happen to like satch better b/c although vai is amazing,
satch scres me a lot more when i hear him play. his new album is something
else. i have been interested in hearing "alien love secrets", but fear that
it may not appeal to me. your opinion, mr. bafu??
to the man who was pissed at punk- perfectly reasonable what you had to say:
but remember, "the masses are asses." of course us guys who can really play
will get slammed on, while the pretty boys get the adulations. it sucks, but
i see that type of music as a "fashion" thing, and it's so obvious. when
plaid is/was in, seattle was the shit (i wonder what city will be next? i
dunno, hows about houston and it's LEATHER?? kidding, don't mean to offend!!)
i'm going thru this now- i'm playing guitar for the musical "hair" (suny
binghamton) and i'm busting my ass, and this other guitarist, who doesn't
know the term "in tune," thinks he's god because he goes out on stage in one
scene. twit. luckily, I have the distortion, so i will just drown his ass
out. getting back to my discussion, the point is, some really awesome guys
will never get appreciated. oh well. peace. david

(adapted from a guitar mag (practicing musician?) )
Mike Bahr, bless his poor soul, has died and gone to heaven. He walks up to
the Pearly Gates with his guitar in hand and is STOKED! He hears all this
jamming going on, DT on the radio and PA, and life is just great. St. Peter
greets Mike and tells him he has been a good person through out life. He
notes that this is mainly due to the many DT fans he has brought such joy to
by the many bootlegs he has contributed to society. St Peter informs Mike
that (somehow) all the great guitarists have made it here also; Hendrix,
Pettruci, Vai, Van Halen, Santana, E. Johnson, Lifeson, and many more. Mike
inquieres about Malmsteen (in Mikes opinion, one the best of all!). St
Peter gets a grave look on his face and replies,"No MIkek I'm afraid he
didn't make it."
Well Mike gets his bags and amp and goes to his room when all of the sudden
he hears the familiar neo-classical lightnigh fast smooth as butter chops
that could only come from non other than the incredible Malmsteen. So Mike
runs down to Peter again and says "Peter, Malmsteen IS here! I just heard
him!" Petee replies, "No I'm afraid he isn't...sorry mike :( . So Mike,
feeling sad once agian, goes to his room when again he hears the incredibly
clean picked neo-classical sounds that he loves so. Once again Mike rushes
down to St Peter and again exclaims that he has heard Malmsteen. St Peter
looks at Mike with eyes of grief and says again that Malmsteen didn't make
it to heaven. Mike, feeling very confused, thinks for a minute and then
asks who the sounds in the next room are coming from. St. Peter, with a
very worried look on his face replies hesitantly "Well Im not suppose to
tell, but, its God. He thinks he's Malmsteen!

"Pull Me Under"
Images And Words
Dream Theater (ATCO/East-West)
Christopher: This could be metal at any moment--I'm just warning everybody.
Rogers: Either that or it could build up into a power ballad.
C: I feel like we might have to excuse ourselves here for a second. We
might have to leave. % so get the fuck out! -ed %
R: This is one of those guitar sounds that when he hits a note, about a
million lights jump up on his guitar rig.
C: Any minute now there is gonna be a squealy.
R: Is this, like, Queensryche?
C: If it is, let's turn it off right away because I hate that band.
% blasphemy! fucking assholes %
R: Hate it. This is the kind of music you listen to right when you start
to get your pubic hairs.
C: I can't even be fair to this music, I hate it so bad. I can't even sit
through one song. I know I'm not being fair but I think it is complete
garbage. That sort of guitar playing is just stupid.
% it's better than anything you ever played, poser. %
R: If I want to hear a metal band I really like old Black Sabbath and
Soundgarden, heavy bands with brains. % I can't fucking stand to type
what this guy is saying... it's so far gone from the truth. % If I were
listening to an angry metal band I would be more into Rage Against the
Machine % commercialism central % or Sugar. I like that Sugar record a
lot, I like Sonic Youth a lot. % trendy shit % That's heavy, guitar based
music that I listen to.
C: Playing fast for the sake of fast is hideous. I hate that whole
mentality of sitting around playing scales and cock-rock crap. % this is
true, I don't think Christopher CAN play a scale, unlike the precision
and attention to detail you hear from Petrucci, Christopher is sloppy and
in a word, sucks. I can play better and I think I suck, compared to
Petrucci. I figured out the riffs to "No Rain" in 3 minutes. No joke. %
R: I heard some squealies. % some WHAT? % I don't really like that sound
either. I'm not into those guitar sounds. When I hear that stuff I get
feeling squeamish.
Guitar: That was Dream Theater.
C: We'll remember not to buy that record. I bet they have really nice
hair... now I'm being mean. % no, now you're showing your ignorance. %
R: This is just our opinion. There's a lot of people that like Dream
Theater and that's fine. % got news for you... DT has more true fans than
Bland Lemon will ever have. % They get off on it--good for them. They'll
probably hate us, maybe they won't. % we do. %
C: They probably do because we sound like we're playing sloppy. But
that's alright, that's a different thing. % "we just suck, that's all." %
We're just coming from a different space.
R: In no way do we condemn this sort of music. These people have a right
to exist.
C: Just keep it the hell away from us.
[on to the other songs.]
To give you an idea how fucked-up Blind Melon are, they liked:
Medicated Goo - Traffic
Midnight Rider - Almond Brothers
And they hated:
Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Sons of Mercury
Omaha - Moby Grape
Pull Me Under - Dream Theater
Little Miss Can't Be Wrong - Spin Doctors
Always With Me Always With You - Joe Satriani
In other words, they hated all the guitarists who are clearly better than
they can ever hope to be.
But there's hope!! These letters to the editor appeared in the February
1994 issue with Alex Lifeson of Rush on the cover!!
"...I've had it! I'm sick of these stupid fucks writing that heavy metal
is soulless, mindless bullshit..."
"...If you have something to say about another type of music, keep it to
yourself."
And in March 1994:
"Blind Lemon only wish they could compare to Queensryche and Dream Theater!"
"...John Petrucci's technical skill and rapturous melodies are things of
beauty, things that Christopher and Rogers hate because they can't create
such things themselves..."
And so on.
Blind Melon sucks.
Dream Theater forever!

Message-ID: <9510191246.AA14692@junix.ju.edu>
Wed night, Jay Peele, Paul C and a few others had the pleasur to see Tribal
Tech do the shortest set they had ever played. Ibanez and Tama sponsored a
concert by them which was held in the parking lot of a local music store.
For 20 mins, the rain teased us, then let up enough for them to uncover the
instruments and play one song, only to have to pack up and quit for good
this time. But it was still a great time. It was a very small group (20
people) and they stayed and answered many questions inside the store. I had
never heard Tribal but was impressed by the one song I heard. GREAT drummer
and all the rest were good too, but the drummer was warming up so I got to
hear more of him.
Anyway I wonder if they listen to Dream Theater (hmmmm)... They talked about
how they throw CDs which they dont like out of the side door on their van
and watch them shadder as they drive 60 mph down the highway. I wanted to
ask them this, but was afraid of what my reaction would be if they had said
they did this to DT's CDs.
Well had fun later!

I was cruising through the old dictionary last night right around the
entries for "love" and love related terms (best not to ask 8^), and I
ran accross an interesting entry:
love-lies-bleeding n. an amaranth with drooping spikes of small
red flowers.
Wow, that was cool... so I had to look up "amaranth" and it read:
amaranth n. 1) any of a genus of plants in the amaranth family,
usually with colorful leaves and, in some species, showy,
tassellike heads of flowers, as the love-lies-bleeding,
pigweed, tumbleweed, etc.
2) [Poet.] an imaginary flower that never fades or dies.
3) a dark purplish red.
Hmmmmm, very interesting indeed (especially number 2).... Just thought I
would pass this info along...

Guys and gals, this is a great thing. Let's face it--Mtv blows ass. They only
want to play what they think everybody wants, but they don't know what
everybody wants. We must show them rock fans are still out there and we want
our Mtv! I'd love to have headbanger's ball back. Sure, everyone knocked it,
but it's better than nothing. I think we, the jtsejammers, should all get

He still worked as a songwriter for his old band, though. Criss Oliva
and his girlfriend (or his wife, can't remember) died in a car accident
just two years ago, so Jon's decision not to sing anymore has nothing to
do with this loss.

To Michael Pomerleau:
Chopin's Etude #2 is also called "Etude in A Minor." Regardless of the
recording(the 12, the 24, or the 27 which I have), it should be the second
etude on the cd.

YESSSS!!! (emphatic high-fiving of myself)

2. I actually like Amy Grant.
1. Mariah Carey is much too talented to be on a list of any sort.

I suppose there are too many syllables in my last name to earn a place
next to these other paisans. Oh well, I could always change it to
"Sinatra" or some other neutral-sounding name.

You know Hairball, when I got back three weeks ago, a certain skywaltzer
posted, "Well, look what the list dragged in." I would assume the proper
greeting in this case would be "Well, look what the list coughed up." :)
Welcome back!

Easy, down boy! Down! No kill! Back, BACK!
What about rolling a huge rock on top of BM's tour bus? Okay, you all
probably see this coming by now, but... heh heh, you could always
spray-paint the rock with, "Welcome To Boulder" or some other warped
pun...

To Ed Reed:
Operation: Revolution...
It would seem that there's a job for me on the Internet with nothing to
sign...
Our mission, change the world...
Speak the Word, the Word is all of us...
In the easy chair, beside my tv,
I wear a face born in the falling rain.
I talk to shadows from a lonely channel,
Recite the phrases from the wall,
I can't explain this holy shame.
Six years ago MTV took quite a tumble,
The orders came from Martha Quinn, they say,
A need for Duff and Kennedy, they cause my slumber,
Request alternative, you know the game.
I'll wait here for days longer,
Till metal comes to wash this noise away.
It is the music that can ease my sorrow.
It brings the only sound that helps me find my way.
And what did I say about those ending posts?
