    Anyways my memory failed me... I actually heard it as 'A thousand lawyers I

            Salut =E0 vous tous!
                            I am one of the very faithful fans of Dream Theater in Qu=E9bec. And, you
    must all believe me, this Mailing list is really godsent! Now I am not
    limited only to my friends when discussing about DT...=20
    However, I=92m warning you, I am NOT a native english speaker (my real name
    is, in fact, Jean-Fran=E7ois Smith), so do not expect here a
    grammaticaly-perfect message..

            So, first of all, I would like to say something about Derek Sherinian. When
    I first heard ACofS, I was still under the shock of the departure of Kevin
    Moore. So I did not like Derek. I disliked his piano sound, I disliked
    everything I was hearing of him. I was frustrated. Quite expectable, as a
    behaviour from a shaken fan, isn=92it? However two weeks ago a friend of=
     mine
    bought a two CDs bootleg from the Awake tour entitled Rockin=92 Japan 95. It
    is in fact the first CD of the Wake Up! Bootleg. My friend and I were both
    excited, because we had only heard live material from the I&W tour, at that
    time. So, we listened to it.
            Well, I (and he) was impressed!
            The first thing about Derek that astonished me was the great range of
    sounds he could make on the keys, with all those whizz and fuzz and beep and
    bizz, und so weiter. All of these during a very cool solo. Bur Kevin did not
    do that. I mean, Kevin remained mostly all the way long with his piano and
    his typical vibrato and guitarlike phrasing sound. Sure, he was great with
    that. But I think Derek will add a new dimension in DT. He is different.=20
            Techically I cannot, and will not, say anything about Kevin or Derek. They
    are both great keyboarders, each in their own fashion. Musically I hope
    Derek will be as tremendously good as Kevin, however. The fact that Derek
    played for Kiss or Alice Cooper does not matter. But Space-dye Vest is a
    tune that will require a gigantic talent to equal, I believe.=20
            By the way, I would like someone to answer a question. Being a native
    french speaker (and having learned English mostly by reading), my ear cannot
    always clearly distinguish some anglophone sounds here and there... So: on
    the live EP LatTheM, during TheKHand, just after singing =91=92... that=
     caused
    this mourning. Crossing over...=92=92 James yells us a beautiful Labrieish=
     cry.
    And I am sure he DOES say something, he is not just yelling out loud. So
    what the hell does he say??!?! I would like to know...
            Lastly (???), I am aware that, here on the YTSEJAM, some people have
    discussed about Labrie=92s difficulties on live settings. I generally agree
    with what have been said (but not with Mr. Serious=92 opinions). And=
     frankly,
    I do not really care about that. I could never sing as Labrie does. But, if
    I did not missed too much messages, something has not been pointed out. On
    bootlegs, James Labrie seems to experience difficulties. But on commercial
    live material (LATM, the videocassette in Japan, ACofS) he is damn good!
    What about that?

                                            =09
                                            * Ugn! * Hope the length is not too bothering...
                                                                               =

                                                    (and the spelling=
     correct...!)

    I was at that game (Rangers vs. Montreal) and 'The Mirror' caught me
    totally off guard.

    btw, I've been to 12 Rangers games at Madison Square Garden this year
    (and going to one AT Montreal next month). Whoever is in charge of music
    at MSG has certainly pulled his head out of his ass, and has been
    choosing real quality music lately. Among the stuff I heard being played
    during breaks (either between periods or between line changes):

        DT - Mirror
        Yes - Roundabout
        King Crimson - 20th Century Schizoid Man
        ELP - Tarkus!!!!! (the organ player was doing this, although it
                           might've been sequenced)

    I'm not kidding! It sure does beat the hell out of that 'jock rock' crap
    that one's used to hearing at sporting events.

    Sorry if it's a bit off topic, but I just thought I'd like to share
    that with all of you.

    I have some quick comments about the recent thoughts of getting DT on
    Letterman or Conan, but DT has built up a huge fan base without all the
    media attention. I say DT sticks to their roots and if the masses take to
    their music than cool, but I don't think they should deliberately attempt
    to become more mainstream. Plenty of bands have been successful without
    being mainstream.

    "Music's for you and me, not the fucking industry. You try to tell us
    what is cool, but you see we come from different school. It only matters
    what you say, not the fucking games you play."

    Can anyone guess where these lyrics come from?

    Hey, I know this has nothing to do with DT but it's killing me. The group
    Suicidal Tendencies broke up last year and I was wondering if anyone
    knows what the members are doing now. One of the harcore metal/punk
    fans will hopefully know. Thanks I appreciate it.

    King's X is a really good band in my opinion. I am not good at describing
    music but here goes-they write complex music, have killer riffs, good
    vocals and outstanding bg vocals. Like DT they use imagery though not as
    much, but still to great effect. I haven't heard Black Flag but I do know
    it is from one of the early CD's, I personally like their latest CD
    Dogman the best. It's more modern and I think they used bg vocals too
    much one the early stuff.

    >So, I like Gothic but that's just me, I assume death metal doesn't

    >Not for the message, but for the music. It's quite extreme, but

    I've heard about the Norwegian metal scene and a certain figure named
    Euronomous. He was or still is the leader of the movement and has been
    charged with things like burning churches and other like events. Overall
    the whole scene is pretty nasty. I was wondering if you have any
    knowledge or information about these events? If so I'd like to become
    more informed about them. Also there is a Christian band named Horde that
    attacks the Norwegian scene in their lyrics.

    I tried to keep it short because of the no DT content!

    Anybody ever heard of these guys? Are they progressive? With such cool names
    they must be pretty awesome! (it's a joke) :)

    >Women: do you see anyone DT as sexy?
    >Men: have you ever encountered DT-lust in women?

    With all this talk about the possible sex-symbolism of DT I've just gotta say
    that James Labrie looks alot like David Hasselhoff (c'mon, I know you all
    watched Kinght Rider). Maybe David throws on a wig once in a while and warms
    up the old vocal chords.

    Sorry to hear about your loss. :( It won't help any but I have a good friend
    who got his WDADU, IAW, Awake, Jaco Pastorious, and Friday Night in SF stolen
    at the same time. I had my car stolen on Christmas morning. Man I hate thieves!

    C'mon!!! My guys have all got their dubs in their grubby little hands already!

    I saw DiMeola, Jean Luc Ponty and Stanley Clarke as "Rite of Strings" last
    summer, pretty cool. DiMeola was a little too much of a show off though.

    One last thing, then I'll shut up. A friend of mine pointed out to me that the
    clean tone chords that JP plays in Scarred (somewhere in the middle) include
    the melody to The Wheel of Fortune. If it were in C minor the pitches would be
    D-C-D-C-D-Eb-D-etc. The rhythm's just about the same as well.

    Ahh, an unmoderated jam. Home of useless information.

    Mike Muir just released his solo album under the name Cyko Miko (title:
    Lost My Brain (Once Again)).

    Muir and Rob Trujillo are still planning to do another Infectious Grooves
    album, even though Epic records dropped them along with ST.

    Mike Clark is working on a solo project. No word on a record deal.

    Jimmy DeGrasso is working on Dave Mustaine's (Megadeth) solo project.

    Hope that helps,

    Anyone out there interested in trading dubs/boots? I've asked similar
    questions in the past on the old jam and have had positive responses. So I
    figured I'd try it again on the brand new jam. Is there anyone with any
    type of Steve Vai dubs/boots? I'm trying to stretch my collection, all I
    have now are mainly Dream Theater boots (not complaining!) If you want a
    copy of my list all you need to do is ask via e-mail. Here's a few of the
    things that I'm looking for: Stevie Ray Vaughn, Pantera, Mr. Big, Racer X,
    Anything Vai touches, and of course DREAM THEATER! I'm also interested in
    videos from these artists as well. One last question before I split; Does
    anyone have access to the videos from AWAKE? Rumor has it that they're 3-4
    videos from that album?

           2) I got a free copy of JP's Rock Discipline (My recognition of

    the spelling errors in the words to come) from one of my pals in "Music
    and Sound Retailer" {one of the magazines my company publishes} ....

    He Kicks Eddie VH's ass up till next tuesday!!! and Neal Schon eats JP's

    about three too many... I can't even stand. In fact I've had to backspace
    about 94 times so far writing this message.

            For those who don't know, Three Wise Men is a 4.5oz drink:
                    1 shot Jose Cuervo

                    1 shot Jack Daniels
            It can get you really rocked and you don't even realize it until

    except that I'm actually really out of discs. I am making an offer in the
    throes of alcohol that you can all press me to when I'm sober again, even

    Theater!! Hey, it's nothing solid yet, nothing confirmable, so don't kill
    yourself if it dosen't happen. But! They both have albums coming out at
    the same time and our favourite progressive band would very much like it
    to happen. Let's hope for the best eh!!! Managements will be the deciding
    factors in this now.

            I ought to have an Antiquities listing up now, but I'm far too
    wasted to figure out how to post it at the moment. sorry there...

            I've also been drinking Vibrating Pussies tonight, these are:
                    1 shot Bacardi 151 (aka Liquid Jet Fuel)
                    1 shot butterscotch schnapps
                    3 shots Bailey's
                    4 shots cream
                    1/2 shot smirnoff

            Ironic that the CD Man's main contributions to the new Ytsejam
    have been in the form of mixable alcoholic drink recipes.

            for anyone who's interested in a When Dream And Today Unite,
    Antiquities, or Scenes From a Memory CD, please contact me at the below
    e-mail addresses! K-plagh! :)

     So maybe those statements about Maiden were your personal opinion, but
    maybe Smeets is a Maiden fan? Maybe his statements about you were HIS
    personal opinion! You can't ask him to be removed from the Jam anymore then
    he could ask that you be removed.

    Imagine if you came in here and blasted DT like you did Maiden??!! I would
    be the first of MANY to call you an idiot!!

    The comments you made about Maiden went too far, and that's why you got a
    ration of shit from a Maiden fan. You could've expressed your "displeasure"
    with the new CD without condemning the very same people you once worshipped.
    Putting down Steve Harris was a childish move on your part. Even though I
    never intended to write to you (the guy in italy), I was equally disgutsed
    with your post about Maiden...I thik I am almost glad that Smeets wrote what
    he did.

    What will you do when someday in the far off future when something happens
    with DT and they replace a member, and try to make a new album? Tell Mike
    Portnoy to go home and quit song writing?

    Smeets was justified in my eyes, to write HIS OPINION of you, just as you
    thought it was justified to bash every member of Maiden here in a DREAM
    THEATER newsletter.

    Modify the old saying: If you don't have anything nice to say, at least keep
    it short.

    To the Italian 'Jammer who got jumped on by a True Idiot: one of the
    reasons why I think he was a -true- idiot is, I don't think he
    realized you were from Italia. --Which makes him a bit more of a
    dope and doesn't excuse his post anyway.

    No, I doubt it was 'racism' (or more properly, 'countryism') that
    caused his spewage....just plain stupidity and ignorance.

    I recently bought my first King's X album, Out of The Silent Planet, and I like it enough, some of it. To tell you the truth, I've been kind of disappointed with the bands that have been reccommended to me on the jam. I bought No Exit by Fates Warning, and it's okay. I haven't bought Parallels yet, which a lot of you have reccommended. I bought Savatoge's Dead Winter Dead, and here's my review: Overture: good, but kind of annoying when they keep breaking in the middle of it, Sarajevo and This is The Time are AWESOME!; I Am is unlistenable; Starlight, although very heavy, is good when I'm in the mood for it. Doesn't Matter Anyway is almost as bad as I Am, This Isn't What We Meant is great; Mozart and Madness is good, so is Memory, and Dead Winter Dead. The Last three songs, One Child, Christmas Eve, and Not What You See are really good, especially the last two. I am glad I bought this CD, but to me, the band I've been most impressed with that has been recommended here is Shadow Gallery. Anyway... let me know if I should try a different King's X album.
