Someone put on their favorite guitarists on the list, one of them was Phil
Keaggy. I have heard this guy LIVE!!! He is absolutely incredible! I went to
David Lipscomb High School, and last year at our "talent" show, he and his
daughter did a song together, then his daughter left the stage and he did a
10-MINUTE!! song unaccompanied with some of the most fantastic guitar playing
I have ever seen, and believe me, I've seen good playing (ex. Live in Tokyo,
Yngwie Malmsteen) before. So, my favorite guitarists list goes forth:
1) John Petrucci (naturally!)
2) Phil Keaggy
3) Yngwie Malmsteen
4) Alex Lifeson (not so much speed, but feeling for the mood)
5) Eric Clapton (good music, not super fast, just good music)
Well guys, that's yet another post for me,
Chris Crowder

IMNSHO...
attention blind melon bashers:
YOU'VE MADE YOUR FUCKING POINT. LET IT GO.
ok, i'll admit, the comments rogers and christopher made about dt in the
interview sucked pretty hard...
.. but haven't we been going over a few threads here on the 'jam about
separating bands' music from their personal opinions, actions, personal
hygiene, etc.? letting the music stand on its own? how many of you
melon-bashers have actually listened to blind melon other than "no rain" or
"galaxie" or whatever else is on mtv? their music is not really all that
catchy, not because it's not good, but because it's really different from
anything else around. i don't even know how to categorize it ("alternative
rock" is not a category anymore-- and don't write in and say it belongs in
the "shit" category).
i hate to break it to you (and this might stir up some shit), but blind melon
is not as far away from prog-rock as you might think. no, they didn't get
college degrees in their respective instruments, and their technique reflects
it, but their music is seriously way more complex than most of what litters
the airwaves nowadays. time-sig changes, feel shifts, dynamics, weird song
structure (verse-chorus-verse is the exception rather than the rule). the
music grows on you; it's not immediately accessible ("no rain" being the
embarrassing fluke). that's why their new album is not doing as well as
their debut, because they refused to pander and sell out. that's pretty
admirable, especially for a band so unfairly derided as an "mtv" band.
ok, so, blind melon is not as good as dream theater. fine. cool. i'm
there. but it's apples to oranges, you know? they're not in the same league
as dream theater, nor should they be. they're meant to be appreciated on
different levels, by different kinds of people (or by the same kinds of
people sometimes).
i happen to be a blind melon fan, one of the pre-"no rain" club, and they
already get next to no credit or respect for their music, which is a damn
shame. if you hate blind melon, ok, you hate blind melon. if blind melon
(or at least those 2 guitarists) hate dream theater, that's their loss. it
doesn't diminish from their music-- and if it does for you, then maybe you
aren't as musically-oriented in your appreciation of music as so many of you
claim to be. but please, let's stop with the militant "boycott blind melon"
and endless "blind melon sucks" posts and ascii pics and letter-writing
campaigns, because it's getting old and starting to sound pretty immature.
you're stooping to their level (as petrucci thankfully did not do in that
interview someone mentioned). imagine the members of dt reading these 'jams
and wondering how their fans got so bitchy.
so, to reiterate: i'm not squelching you for hating blind melon-- feel free
to do so if you want. i am, however, questioning your criteria for hating
them, and your insistence on cluttering up the 'jam with all your piss and
vinegar.
capeesh? thanks.
dream theater rules.
semi-funny drummer joke (as if i need to piss off more people now):
q. how do you know if your band is playing on a level stage?
a. the drool comes out of both sides of the drummer's mouth.
(and mr bungle still kicks ass, on fire or not)

I am from Houston, TX and I have made plans to attend all three shows in late
December. This will be my first time on the East Coast and I couldn't think of
a better reason to make my first trip.
Thanks David, for the directions to the Mailibu.
To everyone interested, Ticketmaster is selling tickets. When you call, give
them the event code ELB1228 and that should do the trick.
Someone PLEASE post directions to El-N-Gee and Birch Hill. Also, could anyone
give me a mileage estimate from New York to New London, CT and New York to Old
Bridge, NJ.? I'm making my plans and need to know how long it will take me to
get from show to show. Anyone have suggestions on where to stay in area?
I would be interested in meeting up with fellow 'jammers before any of the
shows. If someone in each area is organizing meetings, please post the details
or e-mail me privately.
Last thing. I am glad to see that there is someone else (Chris Hailey) who
includes Garth Brooks in their top 5 favorite artists. My faves after DT in no
order are
Queensryche
Garth Brooks
Billy Joel
Van Halen
Dio
Dokken

Sort of funny... Not an ounce of Dream Theater-related topics, but boy are
the digests just FLYING into my mailbox. Cool how we've got so many
threads going, but there doesn't seem to be a stitch of DT in this here
sweater...
----------
To Chris Caminiti:
Your top five bands deserve a big fat truck of lard. I don't know what
that means, but that's what I thought of as I stared in disbelief at your
post. :)
----------
To Adam Bertapelle:
> Hey. Blind Melon is playing on campus (Boulder, CO) very soon. Wouldn't
> it be a pity if their tour buses ended up with Dream Theater graffiti
> all over them ;)
The real "pity" involved in this idea is the fact that I don't live in
Boulder, CO... :) Seriously, you must ask yourself if Dream Theater would
do such a thing, as you may begin a band-war that DT never meant to occur.
Would John Petrucci retaliate in this manner? Probably not.
Okay, so he'd strap the members of Blind Melon into chairs and force them
to repeat music theory lessons from a chalkboard for three hours straight
while listening to Racer X. We all know that's not a very *fun* way to
exact revenge, but it's definitely less damaging/repercussive than your
idea, glorious as it would be to go through with. On second thought, Blind
Melon would probably be scarred for life if this sort of education were to
happen to them. Perhaps you could just mail them pages of Dream Theater
tablature to give them nightmares for a while.
----------
To ALL: (Re: Kevin Moore is dying)
Huh?
----------
To Richard Rivera:
I surprisingly agree with just about everything on your list. Tommy Lee is
one of my favorites, and has been for many years. I like his work on the
new Motley album much more than his older stuff, though. As for Rikki
Rocket, I saw Poison live many years ago, and I remember Rocket did some
pretty incredible stuff that one would NEVER find on a Poison album.
Terry Bozzio and Mike Portnoy: hell yes. Ticco Torres: yes, severely
underrated is how to describe him. The "up and coming" fellow is Mike
Mangini, the new kickass drummer in Extreme. I can't wait to see this guy
live. Speaking of Extreme, I can't wait for Nuno's solo album!
As for guitarists, I wouldn't call Blues Saraceno "up and coming." He's
been moving and shaking since 1989, and in my opinion is one of the most
virtuosic, stylistic players around.
Billy Sheehan and John Myung. Yet another "hell yes."
Vocals, yes, you pegged all the guys that have an individual "style" of
singing, and a sound that no one else has ever imitated successfully.
Bach, Lane, Tyler, and Michaels. And wait...what's that? That fifth
name... It looks like... No, it can't be! Someone is saying JAMES LABRIE
is a (gulp!) FAVORITE VOCALIST???
Well, that makes two of us. Let's start a mailing list.
----------
Again to Chris Caminiti:
> I attended the National Guitar Summer Workshop two summer ago when - you

National Guitar what?

Behold. An apology. Read it, study it, learn it. Perhaps someday you too

Message-ID: <9510182353.AA20931@hawkmail.monmouth.edu>
Since we are on the topic of instrument setups, I think we should expand
the thread to include drummers and keyboardists. I hope this isn't
duplicated, because I sent this last night and it vanished, but here we go:
I use:
Ensoniq TS-10
Two dual foot pedals to trigger sequencer, patch selects, and damper pedal
P.V. KB-100 keyboard amp, I think
Korg 05RW half-space rack, basically the brain of a Korg 01W
Quicklock dual keyboard stand
By the way, I think we should piss on any Bland Lemon CD or paraphernalia
that we find. Hell, let's piss on them and their instruments. they might
sound better. Wait, nothing can make them sound better.

Well, you've done it! You got me started on equipment. Hope you have time to
read all of this.
I have been playing guitar FOREVER...at least it feels like it. I went to
Berk (seen DT play 30-40 times, only met John once but from the first time I
saw him play, I was inspried).
My main inspiration and all time fav guitarist is George Lynch. I even went
of the deep end and bought the George Lynch signature ESP guitar!. [I love a
lot of other players too: Tony MacAlpine, Paul Gilbert, John Norum, JP, Eric
Johnson, Jennifer Batten, Lincoln Brewster, Reb Beach, Greg Howe, Brian May,
Neil Schon) and of course there are great players that I respect (i.e. Stevie
Ray, Al Dimeola, Pat Metheny, Alan Holdworth, Eddie]
I started to get "serious" about guitar when the shred thing started to
happen. I took lessons from Tony MacAlpine. I was SO into the Lynch thing
that I went on the equipment search for years looking for 'that" sound. I
have many opinions about why I have the following stuff and would be glad to
answer any questions (i.e. why I ONLY use tube power amps etc.)
GUITARS
ESP - George Lynch model
ESP custom (Koa w/ Sey D JB Hum & ESP single coil and piezo with Floyd and
22 fret rosewood neck)
PRS custom (10 top, wide/thin 24 fret un-finished neck, personal color)
G & L Legacy
Brian Moore MC1
Parker Fly
RACK (current list of junk)
VHT, Soldano, Hughes & Kettner, Rocktron, Marshall, Boogie, Bogner, Engle
Cab
I use GB cabs that I wire myself "in series" to increase the load and run my
tube poweramps hotter.
I fill the cabs with Celestion Vintage 30's on the top and Peavey EVH 5150's
on the bottom.
(For supper warm, clean I also have a Roland 4-12)
My advise on processors...use them sparingly, not to clutter your sound, but
do use them. I have tried just about everything. Some are hard to use, some
are easy, some break, some do not, some give you COMPLETE control over the
mix and the sounds, some don't. MOST muddy/ruin your original sound unless
you just barely use them. I my opinion, the only only ones I would recommend
are made by Lexicon, Rocktron (especially the Intellifex), and (if anyone can
afford one...Eventide.
If you want heavy processing, my $0.02 is that you can only do it right by
running a sep dry signal and a sep wet signal.
Thanks - George

Okay, in an earlier post I adopted the "eh, leave the dumbasses be" stance

of my favorite lines in a very cool Rush tune: (from Natural Science,

Does anybody have the following CD's:
Saga, Gen 13: I saw that it has about 25 tracks and is a concept album.
How does it compare to say, Brave? I'm a big Marillion fan, so, if
they are similar I might like them.
Steve Morse, Structural Damage: I think that's the name of his latest.
How does it sound? I was disappointed with Southern Steel mainly due
to the production of it. Hopefully this one sounds better.
Mr. Bungle, Disco Volante: I thought this was out already, but I havent
seen it. Is it even more bizarre than the first? It couldnt be!
I would appreciate any comments anyone has about these. I'm thinking
of getting these. I'm also thinking about Shadow Gallery, but, I dont
know since the reviews have been so mixed.
BTW, Marillion is releasing a live album early next year as their final
obligation to EMI. Appropriately, it is being called Finale.

Actually I got quite a few inquiries about the drum Expo via e-mail.
I met a ytsejammer named Ross there... I had on an INFERNO shirt and he

^^^^^^^^^^
I don't know what possessed me to flame him, (incinerate him would be a
more appropriate description of what I said). It was a freak accident.
I read what I wrote and it was way out of character for me.
Martin Spain and I have exchanged correspondence via e-mail, and we both
learned that there was a poor choice of words on his part and a big-time,
Olympic sized misunderstanding on my part.
There's no point in alienating other musicians, especially DT fans. In
retrospect, I should have given him the benefit of the doubt and
dismissed his statements as humorous, or asked him if he really meant
what he said.
So for my wrongdoing, my punishment will be to watch eMpTyV's Alternative
Nation for as long as you Ytsejammers see fit.

Hairball said---
If anyone cares, I'm back on the 'Jam. =)
Cya,
-Hairball
Hairball finished---
If I recall correctly, you left because you didn't like the quantity of
Jams coming your way and/or the multitude of ACoS reviews. Welp, I think
you came back at a worse time. Now there's 3 to 4 'Jams a day, and 95%
of them are everybody's top 5 favorite bands. Wooo. Exciting stuff. :)
I think that top 5 thing should have been sent to an e-mail address for
tallying instead of everybody dumping their shit on here. I mean, I
don't give two shiznits what bands one individual likes. However it is
kind of interesting to see a collective poll.
Along the same lines of that testicular cancer thing. Last week I had
the privelege of seeing an operation on a guy whose right ball was the
size of an orange. The doctor there was telling me, back in the old
days, people just let their balls grow like this. (they sometimes produce
too much protective fluid when hit too hard) They got to be the size of
basketballs, and at that size the guys had to carry their balls around in
their hands. To them it was a sign of their manhood. Anyways, these
guys even sat on their balls (for fun?). Weird stuff.
Anyways, I too like the idea about the least favorite DT songs. I always
skip Pull Me Under. And I pretty much skip over all of WDADU except for
the Ytsejam. Then on Awake I'd have to say Space Dye Vest. If I had
known Bahr was making a WDATU I most likely wouldn't have bought WDADU.
The songs on WDADU are all good except I can't stand Dominici's voice.
Argh. His voice almost makes me want to sit on my balls.

Message-ID: <9510190901.AA103069@asterix.uni-muenster.de>
hi nathan,
I read your message and think I can answer your questions.
Criss Oliva died oct 17th 1993 at the age of 30. he was on his way to a
concert with his wife, Dawn, when a completely drunk truck driver changed
his lane and crushed Criss'car. Criss died immediately, Dawn survived very
badly injured...
when I learned about this, it was an incredible loss for me; five months
before, I had the great honour and pleasure to meet Criss backstage at a
venue in my hometown. he was one of rock's greatest personalities and one of
the most innovative guitarists so far, and I will always remember him like I
met him that evening!!
as for jon, he left the band in 1992 because he wanted to form his own band,
Dr Butcher , which is similar to the old SAVA-stuff from the 80's; very
biting, raw and edgy.
nonetheless, he is - together with Paul O'Neill, the "undercover-member" of
SAVATAGE - co-writing and co-producing the albums.
if you like STREETS, you should check out their latest release, DEAD WINTER
DEAD, which is even more classic-style, and here, jon is singing on two
tracks.
for more info, send me mail or check out the SAVA-home page!
madness reigns...
