    So, Now its Eddie Vs. John..shit, first it was Randy Rhods vs Eddie...I
    think Randy won frankly but never had the chance to prove it, although
    his legacy he left behind, damn, my vote is for Randy...then it was
    Eddie vs Satriani at one point and Satch Vs.Vai and then Hammster, I
    mean Hammet vs. Friedman and then Hammet vs. eddie and then Hammet vs.
    the rest of the world..Actually, I was kinda wondering why no one had
    talked about JP bein comapred to the likes of those guys. Its a thread
    now..who's better...2 different styles frankly, A little Hard to judge.
    I'd have to go with JP. I don't think VH is much of a challenge for JP
    but who knows, 2 great guitarists.

    What about the guys in Fates Warning Or Queensyrche Vs JP...there's a
    tuff choice.

    Scott.

    You are a twisted individual.

    Love your drinking game. If I drank, I'd play. Also good to know that you spelled my last name right both times. I didn't know I was such a celebrity.

    and, for those who are playing, Damon Fibraio is BLIND. Drink up.

    Dave, I hate to be disagreeable, but do "Another Day" and "Wait For Sleep" disqualify DT (drink! :) as a prog band? I think one of the coolest qualities of both bands is their versatility.

    Besides, Extreme did record a 20-something minute song in 3 parts on the third album.

    First, all the stuff about this being my first mail to the new adress and stuff..... *grin*

    Secondly (sp?), a pointer, I'm under the impression that this is an unmoderated list, then let's all do a few adjustments, NO SIG'S THAT ARE LIKE 15 LINES!!!! (not ten either *grin*) IMO there's nothing as irretating as receiving a Ytsejam, and finding that half the text is sig's... That is my opinion, if you don't want to change (noone implicated) *grin* fine, but don't use the list to flame me, send them to me directly.. *grin*

    Thirly *grin*, anyone got an Ivanhoe CD and would like to dub/trade it to me?? (Or know where to buy it in Europe) I would be very grateful, mail me privately, I have a few very good swedish bands CDs which I could dub... Including my own group, Afterglow (Well, a dub of our tape....) *grin*

    #4 Are you guys getting tired of me using upp all this bandwidth... *grin*

    #5 Hey, just curious, are there any Swedish jammers out there?? I know there's at leat three, including me... Mail me privately....

    Well, that's it for this time, CU guys and gals around...

    A rush box set? It would have to be a live set. There is no unreleased material from Rush. Every interview I've ever read says that what Rush writes goes onto the record. there's no material in the can. so if they do produce a box set, I would hope it's live stuff that didn't make it to albums like Exit stage left. that would be quite cool.

    Hmmmmm... I always thought that those two songs were some of the most progressive songs...

    Extreme has progressive overtones but is definitely NOT progressive.

    Hi everyone!

    I thought you'd all get a kick out of this... check out what I dug up while cleaning off my hard drive...

    > indicates a quote I've added.

    NOTE: SUBCONSCIOUS IS ***NOT*** AVAILABLE. THIS IS JUST A RE-POST OF THE ORIGINAL AVAILABILITY ADVERTISEMENT FOR NOSTALGIA PURPOSES.

    -begin- Dream Theater "SUBCONSCIOUS" and project CDs infofile 2/1/95

    Hi! This is a general information notice about the Dream Theater "Subconscious" CD and other special limited edition Ytsejam-only CDs I will be making available in the months to come. This is in answer to all the requests for more information and the like from the list.

    I, humble Mike Bahr, and some of my buddies here in Arizona, busted our wallets and pressed our VISAs to the limit because we thought it would be a good idea to have a CD burner. It does Audio CDs and CDROM. Tests have indicated to us that it's a bitch to use, but does work well and can be used to make some EXTREMELY collectable CDs for the list itself.

    > Turns out it didn't work worth shit, and I had to rent studio time and > equipment to do the job. You live and you learn.

    How am I being compensated for this? Well I plan to put the profit (such as it will be... as I will run a very narrow margin on these) toward paying for the burner. The very miniscule profit from the Rush Video Montage from earlier in 1994 was sufficient to pay for the second hifi VCR I had bought to do the duplicating with. I figured that the only way to be able to make this sort of special edition stuff available to Ytsejam would be to take a huge risk and hope that their fandom was for real.

    Well as it turns out, your fandom is MORE than real! I will begin production on the first special DT CD "Subconscious" near the end of 2/95. I will be posting periodic notices to Ytsejam about when to pay and when to expect delivery. Hang onto your money for now as I am not yet ready to start spinning discs.

    > It was released on April 3rd. Subconscious covered costs after about 370 > copies were sold, and I put the rest toward Cygnus and Acoustic Dreams.

    Since this is a privately financed project, I will be making a single production run of (it now appears) roughly 500 discs. They will never be produced again, and they will have jewel boxes and case liners of course. I am not Kiss The Stone or Metal Crash, so it may not LOOK quite as spiffy as some boots, but this will be the best, easily. Here's a preliminary track listing... the final product will differ little, if at all:

Dominici on vocals)$ Don't Look Past Me (J. Hendricks on vocals)$ Eve (with samples, live)$ Wanted Dead or Alive (cover of BJ with Kev's roommate on vocals)$ Tears (cover of Rush from the upcoming covers gig in London)$ Mission: Impossible$ The Gorilla Session Jam$ The Silent Man/Another Day (acoustic versions from a radio thing)^

    Those are GOING to be on it, 90% certainty. Other possible tracks, depending totally on room-on-the-disc and so forth, are:

    To Live Forever# Eve# Lie (radio edit)# Caught In a Web (re)# Pull Me Under (re)# Take The Time (re)# Take The Time (demo version)# To Live Forever/Heavy Jam (live instrumental)& Status Seeker (Broon remix)# Afterlife (Broon remix)# Metropolis (demo version)# To Live Forever (Hendricks on vocals)# The Golden Weight$

    A LOT of these may be held over until another disc, and/or more covers from the London gig may find themselves on either CD.

    Still forthcoming when Subconscious is finished is When Dream And James Unite, the live CD of WDADU with James on vocals. In a large way, Subconscious will be financing WDAJU. I expect WDAJU to sell far more copies and to be less rare than the totally collectible Subconscious, and as such the price will doubtless go down a shade.

    Okay now for the details.

    I'll post ordering info to Ytsejam just before production begins. I am taking reservations now, limit 5 copies per person. Limit on production is 500 copies. Currently 310 reserved. The price will be US$27.50. I am paying shipping and such. I can ship to any country for no increase in price.

    I want to close by saying two things: I really admire the dedication to this band shown by the members of Ytsejam... truly if anyone deserves a shot at this CD, you guys 'n girls do. Thank you for making this project a success almost before I even began. Secondly, stay tuned to Ytsejam for more information as it becomes available!!

    Thanks!!

    Dammit, the message size limit is still in force here on ax.com. I thought the bandwidth problem was over. Can we do something about this? I want to resume posting the CD updates to the list...

    Everyone, a NEW UPDATE is done and the ANTIQUITIES number listing is in it! Jeff Chew already has it for his page (he will probably put it up pretty soon) and you can also get it straight from me via e-mail.

    MTFBWY! Mike Bahr, durnik@indirect.com/mikebahr@dreamt.org

    Lars... What's up? Second favorite team???? :) The truth is out! John K. (Koggie - How do you pronounce that anyway?) How the hell are ya? Did you get your other address all sorted out yet? Recover from your birthday celebration alright??? Mithrandir... er... Gandalf... I think there is actually a town in Canada named Rivendell and Alex L. (and maybe Geddy also) has some connection to it. I don't know if they have a studio there or what... Also, before Robert Plant joined Led Zeppelin, he was in a band named after something from Tolkien's novels... The name escapes me right now though. Watch out for those Nazgul! Mike Bahr... Breaking out the stillsuits?!? Are you sure it was Three Wise Men before you wrote your post... or was it Semuta? ;) And now for something completely different.............. I tried downloading the DT Doom level from Jeff Chew's (?) home page... and my computer won't let me unzip the file. Is there a bug or is my computer just being a pain in the ass? Did I correctly hear someone mention that Metropolis, part II had already been recorded during the I&W sessions and will be on the next album??? Later all! Craig ..............................
