    I must apologise to Brian (DreamNDay) for totally losing it about his
    number of posts recently. Although I do think it is excessive, and I am
    not taking back everything I said, I should have been more
    understanding. The jam has become more and more cluttered, and I felt
    that such a great number of posts with such short content were basically
    taking up space by having a sig. on the end of all of them, when I think
    the posts could have easily been combined since they were only sent
    seconds apart from each other. So, Brian, I am sorry, I should have had
    more tact.

    Hi all

    Can any of you Jammers out there give me some information about the following
    bands:

    Symphony X
    Vauxdvihl

    I've read some stuff that says the usual 'progressive/Quennsryche/Dream Theater/
    etc', but can any of you really recommend them? I would also be grateful for
    information about the album 'In Abstentia Christi' by Monumentum: how about it,
    you Italian Jammers and doom fans?

    All this talk recently about fast finger techniques for bass/guitar has raised
    a question in my dark and perverted mind: does this mean that you guys and gals
    can choke the chicken/pet the poodle faster than the rest of us? Just wondering.

    stay safe and happy listening

    Hey all,

        Peter Collins would definately be a good choice for producer. Sure he did
    do a great with Queensryche on Empire but how did you not hear his stuff with
    Rush. Sure the two albums he did with them in the eighties were very
    synth-oriented but Counterparts in 1993 was just a kick ass album. Before
    that album I never thought Rush would have the ability to write hard rockin'
    songs again. Peter Collins was the one got them back into this phase. I
    definately see a great album coming up if Peter Collins produces it. And I
    agree with an earlier post, we'll finally be able to hear Myung :)

    Later....

    Broon, huh? Now that would be interesting! Terry Brown did a great job with
    Rush back in the day. I can't think about how the next album would sound with
    his producing. All I can say is that he's the man that gave all of us the
    great sounds of 2112, Permanent Waves, and Moving Pictures, all of which have
    incredible sound quality.

    Charles,

    James is in his "Head Voice" when he's singing all those high notes.
    Falsetto actually refers more precisely to the facilitation of
    the vocal bands. The misconception is natural, however, because most
    people, male vocalists in particular, find it easier to use these higher
    notes while in a falsetto mode. Even the term "Head Voice" is
    misleading, because every quality tone a singer makes finds resonance in
    the masque of the face. What this means is that the sound, the air as it is
    passed over the vocal chords, effectively hums in the cavities of the
    head. This is true even of low notes that seem to originate in the
    chest. Hearing the difference is simple, when you hear a note that
    sounds murky, or thick (not terribly musical terms, but more definitive)
    you can recognize that the vocalist is singing the note from his/her
    throat, and that they are not singing into the masque. There is a
    brightness to the quality of the sound as it is produced properly.

    James does do some singing in falsetto, but he uses it almost exclusively
    on the softer sections of their songs, and on many of the versions
    recorded on Make Bahr's Acoustic Dreams. For me, personally, it is
    precisely because James is not dependent upon a falsetto voice to reach
    the show stopper notes that I enjoy listening to him sing. I always feel
    the least bit cheated when a singer is building a nice melodic line which
    you know will culminate in a powerfully sustained high note to accentuate
    whatever emotion they are trying to convey, then at the last moment they
    hitch and you hear a terribly thin version of that note as it is sung
    falsetto. George Michael does this when covering Queen, and the examples
    are endless of singers who "cheat." The word itself, falsetto, is
    telling of a sound that is artificial to the normal speaking voice.

    How much higher can James sing than we've heard? Not much. But then
    there's not much room left is there, least ways not for a man. More
    important though, at least to me, is the quality of the notes we hear.
    It is for this reason that James continually impresses me. I hear dozens
    of R&B artists that shout out their idea of singing, and the melodies
    always sound as if they were sung from the bottom of a lake. Sure, there
    are good R&B singers, too, and music is personal anyway, but for my money
    there are damn few Labrie's singing our there.

    my friends' band "tellus" has their cd ready to order. this band is from dallas, and is great. they are a trio, and have many influences including rush, king's x, eric johnson, etc. their new cd was produced by alan doss of galactic cowboys, and he even makes his debut playing keys on one track :) the guy that does the king's x album covers did the cover art for this one. the name tellus comes from the "out of the silent planet" book by c.s. lewis and literally means "silent planet".

    check out their web page. ordering info and the cover art is available there.

    I think this whole thing has gotten away from itself. I wouldn't say that you have to read music to play it, but it sure helps. There are some of us who wish to make a living is the field of music, and that may or may not include being in a successful rock band. I hope no one thinks making it in a band is easy. If you do, you're a fool. Sure, maybe a lot of jammers are in bands, but how many of you are doing nothing but playing in a band to support yourselves. I can't think of one person I personally know who does nothing but play in a band. They all teach music or have other various day jobs. They have to if they want to support themselves entirely by music. That's why I chose to study music in school. I don't worry about there being a day when I have to say "This rock band thing isn't going anywhere, I gotta put food on the table, I gotta get a real job." As a trained musician I can make a living at a variety of projects. If rock won't work, then I'll play Jazz, or classical, or teach, or compose, or all of the above. As a well rounded musician I can take almost any job that comes my way. I can play guitar, bass, piano and percussion. That greatly expands the jobs I can take. Being a studio musician can be good money, but if you can't read music they'll kick you out the door. I'm not saying I'm in it for the money, I play because I love it and I love to create. But sometimes creation and starvation go hand in hand. Education and knowledge should never be harmful but helpful. Whenever I found myself at a block in my playing, it was learning something new that got me past it. Now, having knowledge of music theory, ear training, and notation, etc.. makes those blocks non-existent, because knowledge of music allows me to learn more in a shorter period of time. I don't have to agonize so much about trying to figure something out. I never wanted to be "just a guitar player in a rock band," even to be as great as Petrucci I wanted more than just rock. And through school I have that. If you can make it in a rock band, more power to ya. Someone once said that if you make a living doing something you love, you'll never work a day in your life. Even if I'm teaching 'My Favorite Things' to fifth (firth?) graders, it will still be music.

    Well,

    Thank you Mike. You know, one day when I was practicing w/ my old band I was messing around w/ tapping and I just heard the notes. About the musicianship thing... I am studying to be a musician. I am at the University of Missouri right now, but I plan on transferring in the fall to Webster in St. Louis. They offer a degree in Electronic Music, which is what I'm going into. Even though I figured out that technique, it's still pretty damn hard to play it as fast as JM. :) I'm glad to see that I was close. Actually, I didn't pull out my bass when I explained that, I just thought I had it memorized, that's probably why I am flat(or just not in tune w/ them considering I am tuned to a piano).

    . . .with all these people debating over which producer and album sounds better, I'm surprised nobody mentioned how demos sound. Granted they're not the best in the world, but I can always seem to hear each instrument pretty distinctly. . .think of the people that preferred the TTT demo over the I&W version. I also think the InstruMENTALs are good too, but maybe that's because the vocals aren't in them. . .

    >First I'd like to address the music reading thing - no, you're not a >musician if you can't read music or don't know any theory. Then you are >one who plays a musical instrument. If you're content with that, so be it. >

    I still can't agree w/ you on this point Debbie. Remember that what they teach you in theory and harmony has been in western music before it written... people had been doing it by following what felt right to their ears... the only 'theory there was, was the whole Pythagoras thing... *then* a couple of smart people sat down and said 'Hey, we need to find a way explain how all of this works... and while we're at it, why don't we set up a standard way of writing this down on paper?' I know this didn't happen in one day... It kept progressing through time... In fact, the way we write and analyze music is still changing as we speak....

    Don't get me wrong, I still think that knowing all of this helps a musician immemsely... and then, if when you say 'musician' you mean a *professional* musician, then I totally agree w/ you... you're gonna get nowhere fast in the music industry not knowin how to read music (unless you become a rock star :) But many people learn a lot of what they teach in music school through experience and their ears... they just don't know the names for it...

    I just looked up the definition for musician in the dictionary: musician- a person skilled in composing or performing music, especially a proffesional...

    OK, taking that definition (and emphasizing the 'professinial' part) I agree w/ you...

    And all you people that seem to look at Debbie and the ones who agree w/ her as snobs, don't do it... I used to look at educated musicians as snobs too, but once I started learning all that stuff, I realized that they were right... It really helps you a lot both technically and creatively to study music...

    Ya know, Graham, I don't know which is scarier

    a) That you still believe your shared beard conspiracy almost a year after you first proposed it

    -or-

    b) That I just happened to run across the posting in which you first proposed the conspiracy (YJ #809) on the same day in which you dredge it all up again (YJ #1394).

    Do you _play_ a horn or do you just listen to horn players and incorporate their style and phrasing on your primary instrument? There is a huge difference. I never said to only listen to players of your primary instrument. Transcribing sax solos and playing them on guitar will greatly help your guitar playing and learning that style. Learning to play the sax in addition to the guitar will not help your guitar playing.

    Absolutely. We should not attack Deb directly. Just respond to what she wrote. It's a good thread :).
