Sorry to bother you all with this. My provider really messed up last
friday. I wasn't able to connect or receive mail since then. If anyone
tried to mail me between may 31th and june 5th, please re-send those
messages. Even if they didn't bounce. Some people mailed me without
getting 'bounce'-messages, but I still didn't get those letters. Weird.
Btw, Skadz... What happened to my auto-ops ? :(

I am attempting to send this letter yet again. Sorry about this.
Hello,
I've been lurking on this list since before the switch from
arastar.com. After mucking through fifteen jams I decided to risk
the flames and actually post for once. Brave, aren't I. I have
a couple of comments for the masses.
1. Not all of us are utilizing the height of technology. I am on
an antiquited system that is no longer remembered by name, but simply
referred to as "The Dinosaur". _Please_ manually hit return before
the post runs off the screen. This system cannot cope with such
confusion, and loses vital information on every forced word wrap.
We also have no place to use a right arrow key to scroll, the system
is that old. On the other hand, at least we have direct internet
access.
2. I noticed the post concerning female jammers. Well, is there
anyone out there who lives in Maine? I know of at least one other
lurker on this list, but other than that the scene around here is
ultimately depressing. Can you say Pop, anyone?
3. Can anyone recommend any good prog bands (or other types) that
have good lyrics, non-discordant leanings, and an understandable
lead singer? If you do, could you please include the label the
band is recorded under. I can almost guarantee our stores up here
won't have a clue.
4. I have to agree with the criticism about giving credit where
it is due, expecially concerning signature lines. The reason is
this: if I see a really cool quote, I will want to read more, and
I cannot do that unless I know were to go.

Has anyone heard what the shipping schedule for Carpe Diem is? I was one of the first people who ordered it when Marcel originally posted about it, and I heven't received mine yet. I've tried emailing marcel but I must have the wrong address for him. If anyone who knows what's happening with the shipping delays, could you please email me privately? Thanks.

Dear Jammers,
Hey there! Here's a quick update for the YtseCon III:
Management called me back and they told me that Dream Theater are aware of the YtseCon and they are cool about it. So, things are really really good for us!
Anyways, the convention will be at the La Guardia Marriot on October 12th (the Saturday of the Columbus Day Weekend). It will be from 1pm to 5pm, and the chances of ALL of the members of Dream Theater being there are really really good =).
If you plan to fly into NYC for the Dream Theater convention, then call Rich World Wide travel at 1-800-431-1130, and tell them that you will be attending the Dream Theater convention. The travel agency will take care of you.
Again, if you plan on attending the Dream Theater convention, please e-mail Chris Merlo at cmerlo@cs.uvm.edu. Let him know if you will be either definitely going, or possibly going, and tell how many people you will be definitely/possibly bringing. Also, if you plan to stay at the Marriot, then also mention that to him.
Well, that's all from here! I will be keeping close contact with management and I will let you guys know if anything happens. Well, I'll talk to you guys later!
Yours, Jeff =)

Thank You Jammers!!
I picked up my first Savatage CD last week. I have been playing none stop since then. These guys are an awesome blend of musical influence. I've already lost the CD case so I guess I'll just have to leave it in my CD player at home, but still have DT in car and at work. The title had something about Rain in it??, only looked at the case once but the artwork looked kewl. Can anyone recommend, in ITHO, my next Sav purchase.
YtseJam influenced CD buys: Fates Warning, Death, Galatic CB & Savatage.
Thanx All,

Gee, what do you think would happen if someone were to forward these survey results to the Queensryche list? Just thinking about it kind of reminds me of that Shannon Hoon / John Petrucci thing from the guitar mags a while back... Of course, we'd be Petrucci in this case. ;)

I would recommend the newest release, Dead Winter Dead. It is a good step forward from musically "Handful of Rain". I think the Handful of Rain CD cover is probably one of my least favorite (it is too plain).
BTW, I am listening to DWD, right now!!
Also you can read reviews on all Savatage releases , download many samples & tabs, check out the picture archive, and keep up to date on the the latest Sava happenings on the Savatage Fan Homepage.

Two different subjects I know.. but here goes..
I was a little unsure what to think about the "new" Metallica, but after a few listens... I like it. It's definitely an evolution type of CD. They're not the same band they used to be.. but frankly, I'm glad. I get bored very quickly with a band that doesn't change and grow. Compare WDADU with Awake.. It's DT on both CD's but Awake is dramatically different from WDADU, and from IAW for that matter. Would DT be a good band if they stayed the same as they were on WDADU ?? Yes.. Would they be as interesting to me... NO. Why wait 5 years (in Metallica's case) to hear the same CD again.. BORING.. I have to agree with a previous jammer though... the hair thing is really bad.. like some publicist guys sat around and said.. "hey.. nobody has long hair anymore.. if you want to sell to the kids today.. you need to have short hair and look like Soundgarden". I mean... Kirk looks like some freak of nature/Chris Cornell on smack/ beaten with an ugly stick/ too much makeup Alice Cooper wanna-be. Whatever happened to people just being themselves without resorting to following a fad ???
Different subject... Kevin Gilbert was a friend of mine back in his Toy Matinee days.. One of the most driven musicians I've ever met. Meticulous to a fault, and a firm grasp on his vision.. Speaking of a firm grasp.. his death was really bizarre.. the actual cause of death is now listed as "Autoerotic Accidental Asphyxiation". Yep.. he died choking himself while whackin off.. pretty wierd.. but then Kevin was a wierd guy..
Has anyone heard who is going to be doing the DT album ??? Let us all join hands and pray that nobody calls Bob Rock.. He may be a good producer, but he seems to be the one responsible for taking the teeth out of Metallica's music..
Oh well.. enough rambling...

Glad to hear you liked "Handful of Rain"...I loved that cd as well, although my favorite is probably "Edge of Thorns"...."Dead Winter Dead" is probably my least favorite...Don't get me wrong, it's a good album, but I like albums with alot of vocals and singing and there isn't alot of those on "Dead Winter Dead"....Plus I had to listen to Jon O's voice<g>, which is hard for me to stomach...I know it's a matter of taste though. It's just that his voice is TOO scratchy for my tastes..I just LOVE the deep throaty voice of Zach. It makes the music sound so powerful... ..TAKE CARE....DUSTY

Hey! remember me? Anyway, I have a couple of thoughts on my mind. First, Metallica. I saw the new video finaly, and I think the band actually looks good. The new image fits them well. Also, I got Load today (I'm a day or two behind the rest of the world being that I live in ARKVILLE and I had to wait until my friend drove 45 miles to pick up the album for me) and I actually like some it to an extent. My favorite songs are Until It Sleeps, King Nothing, Cure, and Mama Said. The only songs I really don't like are 2X4, Poor Twisted Me, and Ronnie Now, I am going crazy. On MondayI saw saomone on the WWF said "PF all the things I've lost I think I miss my mind the most". Who said this?! I know I've heard it on the jam, so that's why I'm asking you guys. Well I gotta go. See ya on IRC! later--------------Brian

I have not been on the JAM for the last Year and a half, but I guess some things don't change. There are still these pointless little vignettes played out over pages and pages of STUFF, and through it all are some really cool tidbits of information and entertainment. I finally caught up on my JAMS today (after spending about 5 hours at work reading them from disk). I am primarily a lurker who will come out of the woodwork occasionally to state my opinion. I will try and make this as brief as possible ( some of you should take a lesson ;) ).
Now about evolution versus creation... oops, wrong list...
Now about the evolution of bands: A lot of talk has been raised over Metallica's supposed selling out of their fans/music. I want to point out that this is a stage almost all bands have to go through in order to survive and prosper in the music industry.
For example, Rush and YES. They were quite well known for a long time, building a fan base steadily, but not phenomenally. They produced superlative music, but never achieved the success and notoriety (awards, #'1s, MONEY), of the biggest bands. These bands finally DID get #'1s, and the recognition and notoriety they deserved AFTER they modified their songs to be more palatable to a finicky music industry that can turn on a dime. I often wonder if these format changes are really that bad though. I mean if you had never ever heard a song by Metallica before, what would you think of 2X4 off of their new album?? Can you think of ANY MEGA success that has songs longer than 6 minutes on the radio or TV?? Any radical 5-minute solos earning any band a top 40 slot?? That may be what WE want to hear, but we are a minority in a world that would rather listen to Green Day than ACoS. What are you nay sayers going to do when(IF) our beloved DT puts out a record with highly produced, shorter songs?? I for one am going to listen to see if it is any better than the other crap out there.
I tried to be brief, But alas, it could not be done. AND I did not even say HALF of what I planned on saying (and this is the second edit!!). I guess that means I will be back..
