Hello everyone. I wanted to take a few minutes and write something serious
(unusual for me, I know).
I know that we all have been enjoying the freedom of the revised 'jam, but
I am really kind of bothered about a couple issues. I don't really feel
that it's important to discuss whether or not the band members have ever
been under the influence of drugs, etc. and I don't feel that it's
important to have a big discussion on Derek's sexual
preferences/orientation. I feel that we are getting farther and farther
away from the music. I'll be honest with you, I've had similar questions
that I've asked people - just out of curiousity or wanting to know a little
bit more about them as a band, but the idea of spilling it all out into the
'jam just isn't right. Think of how you would feel if it were you being
put under the microscope?
"See my diary on the newsstand, seems we've lost the truth to quicksand..."
Think about that line for a little bit.

Hi all
I'm in a generous mood today (my first pay rise for 2 1/2 years just came in),
so I want to share something good with you.
This morning, I was digging around the web looking for information about the
amazing English band SKYCLAD, and I came across a review of one of their albums
in something calling itself 'The War Against Silence'. This is a weekly music
review, and it contains some of the best album reviews that I have read for a
long time. It is intelligent, witty and well written. There is also a band index
available, together with an archive of back issues. The review of ACoS is by
far the best I have read. If you want to check it out (and I recommend you do)
here is the address
http://metaverse.com/vibe/twas/
Don't be disappointed if there is nothing about one of your favourite bands in
there: the guy who writes the reviews does it in his spare time and for free,
even if he does get a little confused at times, or did you know that JAMES
Petrucci plays guitar for Dream Theater? If anybody actually bothers to check
this stuff out, I would be interested to hear what you think of it.
While I'm rattling on about SKYCLAD, I can only urge you all to get an earful
of this band. There are already a few other jammers who are into them, but it
would be shame for the rest of you to miss a band this good.
Enough for today. I'm off to see Silverchair tonight (yes, it is possible to
like Dream Theater *and* Silverchair), so I'm knocking off work early.
stay safe and happy listening

As far as the covers are concerned, would it be cool to do an entire song by

hands on some TABS. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot.

I'd just like to post that it is not all that difficult doing things bit
by bit! Sound quality remains good if not great because everything can
go in direct. Recording the songs and parts depends on the situation,
some might have to trust their partners to mix as they go(in VHS or even
reg. 2track audio). As for the support of the project, we now have
about 10 people who are willing. some problems will arise over the
summer because some (like me ) won't have an e-mail account except at
work, which means it gets a little expensive. There is no deadline on
this project so far, so people who want to do it over the summer have the
time to do so, communications to and from guys like me will have to be
snail-mail or by phone, which is still no big prob. Also, it can be
surprising how much fun it is to play something with a totally new cast!
I'm recording stuff now with a guy from France!(I live in IL.) Also,
I've never had the opportunity to play along with keyboards, and thru
this type of project I got to do so!! Give the project a chance if you
have musical talent, you could be pleasantly surprised!!!
Peace out!

'Lo jammers
Lately I've seen several things on the jam I want to respond to:
To Jill: You mentioned that females are usually introduced to
mellower music and classical more often than men. Hey, this should
give women an advantage to listening to prog rock. This is by far the
most challenging type of music to listen to. I, with you, am
surprised that there aren't more female prog jammers just because of
this.
Scott Cook: Fired AO HELL eh? Good move.
My condolences to the Petrucci family. John Sr. must have been a
good father in that we see and hear the final product John Jr. that
he mentored (not necessarily musically).
IVANHOE: I've seen a lot mentioned about Symbols Of Time. I have
both CD's, and personally, I like Visions and Reality more because it
is a little more progressive. The singing is not as refined on this
one but it isn't offensive at all-just different. I got mine through
Lasercd@aol.com.
Am awaiting my copy of Superior from Jason Skewes. With all the
hype about this band, I just had to order it, sound unheard. It
worked for Ivanhoe so why not this?
My cockatiels just hatched 2 babies. I have named them Bafu Vai and
Ytse-Ben. Now I'll be up every two hours to feed them. You have to do
this as they relentlessly screech for attention-hence, the names. ;>
Their parents are named Mutt and Gizmo.
Well that's enough rambling and if anyone was able to drink cuz of
what I said, GOOD!
Later,
Wilmo

Best vid from any guitarist yet. (Shawn Lane and Al Petrelli came close.)

With all these clinic dates, not to mention the passing of Petrucci, Sr.
(my condolences John, if you read this), does anyone wonder if we will
ever see a DT album released within 1996? Somehow, that September release
date seems like only a dream (pun intended :))

Thanks to Ed Ballinger & Sean Haider for the info.
Someone said they're sick of certain questions being asked over and over.
Oh well, sorry 'bout this one: How can I get a copy of WDATU? I
haven't found WDADU yet, but the majority of the posts I've seen recently
favor LaBrie of Chuckie D. I'd at least like to check both of them out,
anyways.
To Ernesto Schnack: Whether it's WDADU or WDATU, I imbibed my share of
alcohol this past weekend to make up for any that I owe.
To K.W. Madden:
Where is Overkill playing in DC? I'd rather see them in Pittsburgh
(much closer and I'm more familiar with Pitt. -- haven't heard anything
about them coming, though) but I may be able to make a road trip. I
haven't seen them since The Years of Decay tour -- but it was one helluva
show!! If anyone else out there is thinking of going to see them, make
sure you do!!
Someone posted something about Sepultura (Roots). I haven't heard it
yet, but there's another group you do not want to miss on tour!! I saw
them with Pantera last year -- damn good!
I just saw that Iron Maiden re-released a lot of old shit with extra
tracks included. Killers has a live version of "Phantom of the Opera" on
it. Does anyone know if Bruce sings on this track? My guess is that
it's the same track that was on the Live After Death tape, but omitted
from the CD (Boy did that piss me off!!) Can anyone confirm that?

Greetings:
There is another idea spawned from my DT cover tree thingy (Seth
Hatlelid's idea). It's a rather large thing, but we're going to attempt to
write Metropolis Pt. II. So far, we have drums, guitars and bass....so if
you play keys or sing, let me know!!!!!! After writing it, the plan is to
(somehow) get together and record it in an actual studio. Also, if you want
to pitch in with lyrics, let me know too. I think the first step is to come
up with a title. Metropolis Pt. 2: The something something something....or
something. DO NOT send ideas by themselves to the Jam. Add one to a post,
or send them to me, but not to the Jam by itself. We don't want to start
another Top 5 thing. Welp, thazall!!!!!!!!!
