        I just picked up a copy of the Operation:Mindcrime box set (used for $30
    :P). Is the material on this tape different from the stuff on the tape that
    is sold separately or is it the same but packaged with a cool CD and book?

    BTW, those addresses from the magazine spam are both fake. I wrote scathing
    letters to both and got them returned undeliverable. Those people are really
    good at covering their tracks.

    Later,
        Andrew

    Babs. I am not going to question what you heard, but I deal with Magna carta for my progressive rock radio show. They are going to send me the CD when it is completed, probably long before the relese date to the public. If I don't have it, I doubt anybody else does. Then again, ... I could be worng. But Magna Carta told me that the CD was being released in July, and I'd get my copy in June for early promotion as radio stations do. So, maybe it was just a cover or a very early release single or a rough mix or ... well ... I am just not as important as I thought.

    Well, as somebody who has played along with LTL on CD with his setup, I can tell you that the song is in F sharp. The intro goes:

    f sharp, c sharp F sharp e c sahrp f sharp b c sharp f sharp c sharp a sharp g sharp repeat pattern. The song is definitely not in 6/8. It's more like 15/8. Fiddle with the notes I just gave you. You should be able to determine that the third f sharp is an octave above the first, and so forth. If you have any questions, let me know. Haven't worked out the solo yet, because I don't have that kind of time. I learned the beginning of LTL because I have the sound on my Roland that is very close to the sound Kev uses. So, play with that and let me know. In addition, you have to play that part above with both hands, because that's how Kev and Derek do it. Not as easy as it may sound, unless you have good concentration with both your hands being able to do that kind of thing.

    I have the Tempest CD. They sound like progressive rock mixed with Irish folk music. Not for nothing, but I don't like it myself. I have problems listening to the cDs, too Irish for me. Not to say that it's bad or it sucks, I just can't get into it. It is definitely different, and I would recommend trying it before you listen to me.

    Date: Tue, 31 Oct 1995 10:45:23 -0500 From: Joe Kruger <jkruger@ee.net> To: ytsejam@anthor.arastar.com Subject: Ytse & the Jam Part II Message-ID: <199510311545.KAA27534@mail.ee.net>

    They're Ytse and the Jam, Yes Ytse and the Jam, One is a psycho; the other's inane. They're laboratory nerds. Their brains smell like turds. The're ditsy, they're Ytse and the Jam, Jam, Jam, Jam, Jam.

    Ytse: Gee, Jam. What do you want to do tonight. Jam: The same thing we do every night, Ytse ... Try to take over the mailing list.

    Jam: Ytse, I've developed the perfect scheme for taking over the mailing list. Ytse: What is it, Jam? Jam: It involves multiple steps - each separate, yet strangely connected by one common thread - Flaming.

    Ytse: What do you want me to do to help, Jam? Jam: First, post a controversial message flaming another band about how much they suck compared to DT. Mask your vitriol with a thin layer of logic and intelligence. Ytse: But, won't they see through to my real stupidity, Jam? Jam: No, Ytse. They're mostly young college students. Some of them actually think their professor's are intelligent. You should have no problem fooling them. Ytse: But, how do I do it, Jam? Jam: Simple, quote very reliable sources such as Ayn Rand or the Bible. Everyone will be so impressed by your referernces, they won't question their content or context.

    Ytse: Ok, what do I do then, Jam? Jam: Send another hate-filled message from another account proclaiming how the list should only be used for DT. Ytse: What if no one cares? Jam: Oh, they'll care, Ytse. This is religion for some people. Let's get started with something simple.

    (Jam sends message to list) Jam: Boy, I sure think that Derek looks a lot like Booger from Revenge of the Nerds - you know - the guy from Risky Business - "sometimes you just have to say what the fuck." List: No, he doesn't. List: I think if he stuck his finger in a light socket and his face into mud he'd look just like Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. List: Boy, they suck. Ytse: I think, speaking from the metaphysical perspective, that their anguish is misunderstood. Much like that of Oedipus. List: Nin sucks. Dt rules. End of discussion. Frank: FUCK YOU. THIS LIST IS FOR DT. EVERYONE ELSE GET OUT. List: I'm tired of the use of profanity. You don't see DT stooping to this level. List: Actually, yes they do. If you went to the DT concert in East Fartingburgstrasse Holland in 93, you'd know that John Myung mouthed the word fuck when his tech stepped on a pedal by mistake. List: I'm compiling a list of accidental sample triggering - can you tell me what sample it was. Frank: THIS IS A BUNCH OF FUCKING CRAP. WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU PEOPLE GET THIS BULLSHIT. I DON'T CARE ABOUT IT. Thanks.

    Jam: Ytse, are you pondering what I'm pondering? Ytse: Uh, I think so, Jam; but this time, you flame Frank.

    Jam: Frank, you weasel. Turn off CAPS LOCK. Don't you know anything about the Internet. You'd think you were on AOL or something. Ytse: Well, I don't want to start a religious discussion or anything, but I think Frank's anger would be resolved if he accepted Jesus into his heart. List: I subscribed to this list to hear about DT. I'm going to take my computer and go home. List: Dear DT. I love your music. Please add me to your mailing list. AOL: Me too. List: Can't we do anything to keep all the idiots off this list. List: I'm tired of all these idiotic messages from idiots. List: I'm tired of being an idiot. List: How do I pronounce YTSEJAM? List: Not again, someone should add this to the FAQ. List: There's a FAQ. AOL: What's a FAQ? List: Where do I get the DT FAQ? KenB: Please read the welcome message you deleted six months ago. AOL: I'm tired of everyone flaming AOL users. It's completely unjustified. AOL: I'm tired of everyone flaming AOL users. It's completely unjustified. AOL: I'm tired of everyone flaming AOL users. It's completely unjustified. AOL: Oops, I think I sent that message too many times. Sorry. AOL: Me too.

    Jam: Ytse, my plan is working beautifully. There's absolutely no discussion about Dream Theater going on. Ytse: This is much more fun. I'm going to continue.

    Ytse: I'm starting a poll of everyone's top five favorite songs by Blind Nails. List: Ugh, not another poll. What a waste of bandwidth. Jam: A waste of bandwidth! How much bandwidth is wasted by your complaining about waste of bandwidth? Hair: About .2 kHz. But it's outside the audible range unless you tweak it. List: Speaking of hair, does anyone else notice how Metro Part I is in the Minoxodyl mode from 5:23 to 5:24. List: I always thought it was the Phyrigerator mode. List: No, look here's the tab:

    ------------e--k--------x-------x---s-----i----------- ----x----x---m--c-x---x------x-e-----u---m-n---------- -----x------x----u---x----x---s-------b-i---a--------- ------------------f--------------------l-xx--l-----x--

    List: DuDE, Ur taBz mayk 0 cents. List: I'm a woman. I am deeply offended by all the subtle anti-female sexual innuendoes on this list. List: It was a joke; lighten up. Jam: Well, you shouldn't be on this list. Women are incapable of liking progressive music. List: Yeah, because they have long hair. List: Hey I'm part of the YJLHBEIEIO. List: IMHO, I think everyone should quit with the abbrs ASAP. MikeB: If a chicken and a half lay an egg and a half in a day and a half how long will it take us to move on to another topic. List: I knew the answer to that once. List: Hey, how dare you send messages to the list? Shouldn't you be spending your time making my damn AD? Bafu: I'd love to touch that one. But I can't with my strait jacket on.

    Jam: Well, Ytse, I think we need to prepare for tommorrow night. Ytse: What are we going to do tomorrow night, Jam? Jam: The same thing we do every night, Ytse ... Try to take over the mailing list.

    15) Ytse & Jam by Steve Borzilleri <magellan@u.washington.edu>

    *************************************** Ytse & Jam, Dream Theater Fans, Part IV ***************************************

    Jam: It's what? It's about MUSIC?! Ytse: And nothing but. Really, can't you just listen to the music and enjoy it for what it is? J: JUST listen?! That would make life too EASY!! I have to over- analyze EVERYTHING to occupy my time! It's my life's ambition! In fact, when I'm president, I'll analyze everything under the sun! Then EVERYONE will want to play with me! Y: That's quite an ego you got there, kid. Obviously, you are more gifted than myself. I can't see music. I can only hear it. J: What? Call me a cynical fuck, but that sounds like a case of Full-Flannel Impairment! Y: I am NOT wearing flannel. J: You might as well! DT's gonna get real popular, move to Seattle, and start wearing flannel and big boots! Then they can tour with Hole! Yeah! I can't wait for John Myung to grow a beard! His wife is expecting triplets, did you know that? Y: Ahem. Did you say "Hole?" Queensryche I can understand, Fates Warning, sure, but Hole? I don't know if their music really jibes with DT's progressive metal. One's a bit heavier than the other. J: Are you...DISCRIMINATING??? Y: Actually, I am. I don't think DT and Hole would make a very good show. J: Sure it would! The mixed fans would start kicking each other's asses!! Vidal Sassoon Hair vs. Violet-Silver Dreadlocks! Hi-tops vs. Combat Boots! Yeah, maybe people will be wearing those gigantic John Myung-style boots! Then there'll be people wearing wild, multicolored, flowing silk shirts like Petrucci! And they'll all get ripped up from the nails of angry Hole fans! Y: You're really getting into this idea, aren't you? J: Yeah! I'm angry, like my friend Jason Fickett at Arizona State University, Student Publications, Box 871502, Tempe, Arizona, 85287-1502! Y: Who? That guy who reviewed A Change Of Seasons? J: Yeah, at campus mailbox #1502!! I got his address so I can write to him about his blasphemous review of ACOS! I'm ravenous and I'm going to EAT HIM ALIVE!!! Y: Hold your fire, Jam, that doesn't sound very calculated. As your counterpart, it seems to me like you're really rolling the bones with this one. Just calm down. J: Huh? Y: Really, you're off to a bad genesis with this idea. J: You think so? Y: Yes. J: But his review was a crime worse than murder! Tell the king! Tell the queen! GUARDS!! SEIZE HIM!! Y: And what? Throw him in the iron maiden? Look, he's just a chronicler. He writes because it's his job. J: But I have to write him SOMETHING, whether I agree with him or not! It's my sole purpose in life! I'll curse him out so bad it'll make Elliott Kim jealous!! Y: You really like causing trouble, don't you? J: Yes!! Trouble and chaos! REVOLUTION!! Y: Revolution? Oh, that's around here somewhere... J: Cool! Shoogagoogagunga!! Y: So who do you think that is on the cover of ACOS? Some say it's Mike Portnoy himself. J: No way!! It's Richard Savage's little brother's head superimposed over a photo of Leonardo Di Caprio's torso with an added lower body of an amputee victim! Y: Oh yeah... I never noticed that before. It does sort of look like a bastard-incarnation of three bodies meshed together via computer- enhancement. J: Exactly!! Y: Really, I think it's all one kid, and you can't see his legs because he's kneeling. J: Kneeling? Why would he be kneeling? He's begging in the snow! Look, he's got a bucket to collect spare change in and everything!! And no clothing except for those blue boxers!! He's a beggar!! Y: That's quite an idea you have there. J: ME? It wasn't MY idea! DT finished recording ACOS, and were trying to come up with an album-cover idea, when who do they run into on the sidewalk outside the studio? None other than Charlie Dominici!! Right there in the snow singing "Oh Holy Night"!! So they said... "You know, Charlie---" Y: Ah, I think you're getting a bit off-base with this one. J: Yeah, offbase like Hairball!! I'm exactly 4.82 kHz offbase from my mid-ranged sub-sonic bass-frequencies. Were I to increase my output by 9.18 kHz molten lava, my opinions would be properly mixed for hi-fi mailing list stereo speakers. Y: You're quite a techy, I see. J: A what? A Trekky? You like STAR TREK?! They're not DT-related!! They're not even a BAND!! Now I shall have to thrash you!! Y: Well, you said molten lava, so you could have been talking about Vulcanology, which is the study of volcanoes and Mr. Spock, or so I'm told. J: Yeah, yeah. Live long and prosper. \\//_ Y: So tell me, Jam, I've been dying to ask you about this. How do you pronounce "Ytsejam?" J: I pronounce it like James does on whatever bootleg I happen to be listening to at the moment, whether it's "YEET-SEE-JAAYYUUMM!!" or "YIT-SAY-JAM!!" or "YET-SEH-JAAHHMM!" Y: So it's an ever-changing pronounciation? J: Yeah! Sometimes I forget how to pronounce it, then it's right back to squeeeh waaah. Y: Don't you mean "square one?" J: Same thing. Y: Aha. And what album do you think has the best production? J: Images & Words!! ONLY IMAGES & WORDS!! Better production than ALL other albums!! Y: Wait, is DT the only band you listen to? J: OF COURSE!! DT ROCKS!! Y: Is that all they do? J: NO! DT ROOLZ!! Y: And? They just rock and rule? J: DT DROOLZ!! Y: Okay. I see you're a fanatic. J: Damn straight!! DT could kick any other band's ASS!! Y: I'm going to have to give Ivanhoe a listen. I hear that those boys rival DT in musicianship. J: Impossible! "That is not an option, Mr. Mulder." Y: Eeek. You and your X-Files... J: Yeah! DT and The X-Files! What more do you need?! Mulder and Myung kick ass! In fact, they kick more ass than Rob Zombie, Al Jorgensen, James LaBrie during any live performance, and Glenn Danzig PUT TOGETHER!!

    Although I'm sure you have the best intentions, I'm not sure how good the idea of sending a petition to DT to get them to record a double CD is. I think they might consider it badgering. My roommate just got finished recording and releasing an album with his band, and it was a tremendous amount of work. They had to choose among songs to put on the album, so that only the best *qualify* and it is a quality product. I'm sure that DT feels like they must choose the best from among the 20 or however many songs they have in the works right now. It's not unusual for a band to have more material available than they can fit on one release, and the extras may or may not be released at a later date. I think we jammers are honored and fortunate to have a role in ACOS becoming a reality, but let's not pester the band to go through more effort than they already are. After all, DT is PRO-ytse-jam, and I'm sure most of us would like to keep it that way. Again, I urge you to consider not sending this petition. __________________________________________________________ | Andrew Joseph Feyder | "You know, life moves pretty | | Gustavus Adolphus College | fast.
