a little more Death of Spockish. THANKS.

Weeeellll, first thought: holy shiite phreaking Muslims (not trying to
start a religious war here, just a phrase I picked up somewhere), this
cover is sooo cool! Great job Scott! i don't know what parchment is
supposed feel like, every bit i've seen was locked under glass,
but this insert is cool....btw Mike, what happened? Run out of Quotes?
About the Disc itself.....well, it plays like an album, Sir Bahr got it
rught when he tried for that continuity thang.....1st half is ok, stuff
we've heard before....I didn't know that A crack..., and THe mists of
evening were those particular pieces, so it's good to finally have a name
for 'em......UAGM is one of my LEAST favorite DT songs (flame away, if
you must) but that's not our humble disc makers fault, so I won't hold it
against the project
Don't Look Past Me with James at the helm is alright
Steve Stone would have been an interesting vocalist for the band, his
take on Metropolis is (IMO) a nice interperetation
but...I CAN'T BELIEVE DT OFFERED ARCH THE VOCALIST JOB BASED ON THESE
AUDITIONS....he's is really, really WHINY sounding.....you didn't somehow
speed the tape up, like the way TLF is on Subcon, did you MIke? ANyway,
the Arch takes are really sorta annoying (of course, if he were still on
the jam, i prob. wouldn't make this comment)
Finally, ACoS:the definitive version, according to Lord Bahr
HaHaHaHaHaHaHa, etc, etc and so on and so forth
First off, it's CLEAN, no snap crackle and pops hindering this puppy.
This song is really hillarious....the music is the same stuff as on
Subcon, and I like that better than the new version, so that's cool, but
the vocal effects, and the new samples are at points just so incredibly
cheesy, i can't make my mind up whether to burst out laughing or just
wonder how DT put this together.......at points sounds like the vocals
are a refugee from mid-80's pop songs (now i'm being too harsh)
Basically, the way this turned out, it would not at all have fit into I&W
(of course I say that with 4 years' hindsight, which is always 20/20)
Now that I've wasted enough of your time....final score 3.5*/5*
(below the 4* AD and WDATU, above 3* Subcon) (if anyone cares)
Thanks Mike, another winner in the books....

I wholeheartedly disagree with #3. Just because Bob Dylan is unpleasant
to listen to ("Laak a rowwa stohhh"), doesn't mean that he didn't make music.

Sorry, but I must disagree with #3. There is a lot of atonal kind of music out there that very definitely quilifies under the "music" banner. Consider this. Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" was so "unpleasant" that when it was premiered in Paris, a riot endued! It is now a classic.

I agree completely. Marillion's keyboard player, Mark Kelly, is on the Freaks list. He usually just posts to clear things up every once in a while. It's nice to know that the band cares what the list thinks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Easter here again Jonathan Byrne A time for the Blind to see West Virginia University Easter surely now rrri02@wvnvm.wvnet.edu Can all of your hearts be free." -Steve Hogarth,"Easter",Marillion

I am also a big Savatage fan and it is good to see other Savatage fans on the jam. Dead Winter Dead (DWD) is probably one of Savatage's best Cd's. Both Jon Oliva and Zak Stevens sings on the album. Savatage has progressed musically since the early eighties.
To answer some of Mark's questions.
Al Pitrelli joined Savatage for the DWD album, he had not previously played with Savatage. This is an interesting connection between Savatage and DT ( I may have pointed this out before...) Both Derek Sherinian and Al Pitrelli played for Alice Cooper during the same time.
The original line up for Savatage was
Jon Oliva - Vocals Criss Oliva - guitar Keith Collins - bass Steve "Doc" Wacholz - drums
since then --> (A brief summary )
Johnny Lee Middleton has replaced Keith on the bass in 1985. Andy James was the drummer on the Edge of Thorns tour. Chris Caffery - joined Savatage on second guitar for the recording and tour for Gutter Ballet and has recently return on DWD (and Dr. Butcher) Zachory Stevens became the vocalist on Edge of Thorns. Jeff Platte played drums on the Handful of Rain tour and is the current Drummer. Jeff Plate was in Zak's band Wicked Witch prior to joining Savatage. After Criss's death in 1993 they hired Alex Skolnick (formerly of Testament) to record and tour on Handful of Rain. After tour the parted ways, Alex to pursue a course with his band Exhibit-A. Savatage then auditioned a number of talented guitarists and chose Al Pitrelli.
So Mark's question was... who is still part of the orginal line up? I guess the only orginal member left is Jon Oliva.
Criss Oliva was the one that died. On Oct. 17, 1993 he was headed to the rock festival "LiveStock" in Zephr Hills, Florida when a drunk driver attempted to pass a semi truck. He ran head on into Criss and Dawn. Criss was killed instantly and Dawn has recovered from her injuries. It was the drunk drivers seventh DUI offense!!! This is still a rough subject with the band, esp Jon. It is still really hard to talk about. Chris's tombstone quotes Believe (off of Streets)
"I'll be right there I will never leave All I ask of you is believe"
His other question was ..What's Savatage's older material like?
I guess it depends how old.... If we go all the way back to the Sirens and The Dungeons Are Calling Era it is quite heavy. Mostly heavy guitar driven tracks almost a death metal style. From there is slowly progresses into what they are today. And they made some great music getting there.
Well this is getting too long... sorry for taking up bandwidth but I think it is well worth it. o Savatage is planing to go tour Europe and Japan (May 22 - June 18) A US tour should follow after that. I can post the tour dates but as of yet they are still "tentative".
o What to know more Check out the Savatage Fan Homepage at http://www.d.umn.edu/~tsands/savatage/
that is all for now,

I know that in several parts the guitar does some cool syncopated, perhaps polyrhythmis parts over the drums. I don't think it's quite the same, but I haven't listened specifically for that. Wow. What a useless response.

Hm. I describe Savatage as "What every wanna-be band would sound like if Prog was mainstream" I think DWD is a good album, and I commend them for their commitment to concept albums, but it hardly puts DT to shame, IMO. It still has an awfully "ordinary" sound to it.
>>I think yes. Without the previous music, Mozart wouldn't have written what >>he did write. > >But he didn't particularly study that music... correct me if I'm wrong, but >wasn't Mozart a prodigy who wrote his first concerto when he was like 9 >years old?
What, you think he went up to the piano for the first time at age 9 and wrote a concerto? No, he studied from the age of 3 or something. He wrote "Twinkle twinkle little star" when he was 5 or something. Prodigy, yes, but no prodigy happens in a vacuum. I can guarantee you that he studied his Amadeus off when he was younger. Now, it may have looked easy (well, hey, I wasn't there, so I'm guessing) for him to rip through piano pieces while most kids are still mastering sphincter control, but I doubt that he would have done what he did in his life if he DIDN'T spend nearly every waking moment playing something.

Do you mean more than one sound at the same time? (To answer, no, I've not heard the term "multiphonic") If you just mean the ability to play different notes, any music teacher will tell you that knowing intervals played melodically and knowing them played chordally are two different skills and knowing one does not equal knowledge of another.

I was reading in another forum about another band and the anti-bootleg stance among the fans/subscribers is surprisingly high, whereas on the Jam, everyone's like, "FUCK Yeah! DoE! Subcon! Mike Bahr roolz! etc.." Or so it seems to me at least. I was shocked to find that fans that are die-hard enough to wade through the moderated, but still rather voluminous TNMS would be so opposed to that which separates casual listeners from die-hard fans.
Are any Jammers opposed to bootlegs?

Hi All,

On my first read of this post I thought it said he borrowed the disc from his dad *chuckle*. Now I have a cool dad but even he doesn't listen to Iced Earth *laugh*. I was wondering when someone might mention Iced Earth. I have been into this band for about a year now. They have two releases before "Burnt Offerings", those being "Iced Earth" and "Stormrider". Personally I think "BO" is the best (no pun intended) but the others are worth getting. Iced Earth will have a new disc out this summer titled "Saga". I must admit that I didn't see DT in the liner notes. But Iced Earth always mentions Blind Guardian. These two bands are like brothers in metal, they always put each other in the liner notes and what silly little sayings.
And one to other bands.....
> I just got Savatage's Dead Winter Dead...HOLY > SHIIIIIIIIIITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....DAMN I love this cd, > it's my second listen through. It's like Classical combined with > metal and other GREAT stuff inbetween.
Ah another band I have been into for a long time. All of their discs are worth getting. Except maybe "Power of the Night" and "Fight for the Rock".
> I noticed something on the line-up, Al Pitrelli, who is a wicked > guitarist and has played with Alice Cooper for years, did he > just join them? Who is part of the origonal line up...I think > zak steven's isand the drummer, if anyone can tell me, please do > so......
Pitrelli was also with a band named Widowmaker (with Dee Snider from Twisted Sister). I am still not sure if he is a permanent member of Savatage yet or not. Zak is not a part of the original line up, the only original member left is the bas player (and I guess Jon Oliva). You should check out the Savatage web site (more on that later).

If you like concept discs get ahold of "Streets" by Savatage. It is a lot better that "DWD" IMHO. And yeah Chris is the one that died and the tribute album is live stuff from the "Gutter Ballet" tour and is quite good I think. The Japanese version is called "Final Bell" and the German version is called "Ghost in the Ruins". both have the same track listing though so I would go for the German version.
Oh as a shameless plug if anyone wants to find cool links to Iced Earth and Savatage plus a shit load of other prog/power metal bands (I suggest Blind Guardian very highly) please check out my web site at:
http://lobelia.physics.wisc.edu/jbreitwe
and tell me what you think. All the bands listed there are ones I listen to so feel free to ask me about them.
Oh and for all you German jammers Savatage, Iced Earth, Rage, The Gathering, Nevermore and Tiamat (plus some others I think) are going to do some open air concerts this summer in Deutschland. Me and four friends (hello Ties *grin*) will be at the Berlin show, if anyone cares.
Just had a couple of random thoughts:
In Japan do they call DT The John Myung Project *chuckle*?
When talking about the band Superior (who everyone should check out because they kick ass!) to friends does the conversation go like this?
Who is this?
Superior.
Yeah, I know the are pretty good, but who is this?
Superior.
Ahhhhhhhh (friend runs off screaming)
