Hiy'all,
Could someone PLEASE send me Jams 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603 and 1604?
I've been through major e-mail fuck-ups these last days, but unfortunately
for some of you, I'm sort of.....
.....back!!
BTW: Thanks for the 4-tracker response. I'm going for the Tascam Porta-07,
since I need little more than a musical "sketchpad".

Message-ID: <31b6b204.dennis@relay.dennis.se>
Hello everyone,
Just thought I'd voice my appreciation at the fact that someone on the
'Jam listed Mads Eriksen as one of the top 10 guitar players. I had the
chance to see him perform in his hometown of Bergen in Norway a few years
ago, and it was a stunning gig. he mixed his own compositions with his
versions of classics by Norwegian composer Edward Grieg.
Good to see him getting some recognition outside of Norway!
Best wishes,
Jon Berger

Message-ID: <55427.r.c.karsmakers@stud.let.ruu.nl>
First: Lots of TNT fans out there. Anyone know Ronnie LeTekro's date of
birth (and year)?
Second: I realise I trod on some toes when defending the Top 10s. I had
complete missed Skadz' remarks on him not wanting them on his list. If I'd
read them (but I skip loads of messages... :-) I would not have defended Top
10s at all. Sorry for that, Skadz. No harm intended. My "wanting to defend
free speech" alternate ego reared its head.
Third: I won't start getting off on some other recent "sensitive" threads.
Fourth: Sorry, Mr. Digital Man, for apparently having, er, been 'inspired'
by you when selecting my quote. I already found a better one which will be
in my .sig soon... "who is general failure and why is he reading my disk?"
:-)
Keep it cool. The weather here is way too hot anyway.

I Just Got Load the other day. I think alot of people make a big deal out of
nothing. It is a pretty rocking album. I agree that if you didn't like the
"Black Album", you would not like the new one, but in all honestly, Metallica
were the kings of Thrash in the early to mid 80's. And they also broke in as
writing the best Progressive thrash album--"And Justice For All". Why should
they have to repeat themselves and put out another Master Of Puppets album
when they can just let their music grow and write what they want to. I know
alot of people aren't going to agree with me opinion, but it's the way i
feel, and if you think about it, it really makes sense.

Just another comment from the shadows.
I couldn't help but think when I was flipping through the CD liner that Metallica's new look reminds me of all the depressed teenagers who hang around the coffee shops smoking cigarettes they are too young to buy, drinking coffee and writing bad poetry. The album itself seemed pretty cool. I guess I'll just have to listen to it with my eyes closed. Audrey

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..

No, you can't. The listserv software reads the From line not the From: line. You cannot fake the From line and without a correct From line you can't get unsubbed.

> What have you guys got against top 10 kind of entries?
Experience :)
Basically back in the good ole days of the 600's and 700's, there was a jam, maybe 2 a day and when someone started a top 10 thread you would get 4,5, or more and EVERY post would be something like My Top Ten Favorite Flavors of Ice Cream are and it just gets really really really annoying. Yes, I agree the jam has gotten real ugly as of late, but top ten lists are just MORE junk, which we wanna cut down on as much as possible.
> This is a free country. This is a free list. > If you don't like it that way, join the "metropolis" list (which still > doesn't exist, does it, and that says a lot about the amount of people who > would rather have a slimmed-down and non-top-10 list, i.e. them being a firm > minority).
Yes, this is a free country (well, kinda, but that's for another mailing list) and a free list (cuz I don't have the time or patience to moderate it) and metropolis doesn't really exist (cuz Ken doesn't have the time) but this list is for discussions of Dream Theater and related topics. I really don't consider top 10 lists related because they just take up space. Steve (from Tuscon) did it the right way, he didn't clutter up the jam (too much ;) and posted the results at the end which everyone got. It just made it real clean and real well done. Alot of people ask for Top 10 lists and don't keep any kind of stats or anything, so it is a waste.
BTW, this isn't a flame, just trying to explain a bit better.

SHADDUP BEN!!!!!!!
Some of us have jobs and stuff to worry about. Some of us have jobs as well as side consulting as well as mailing lists and irc servers to run. Some of us only sleep a few hours a night because we have so much work that sleeping would get us fired Some of us don't have the summer off Get the point yet??????????

Well, this is something I love. I haven't made it to the store to get Load yet, but something I always love about seeing a band live is seeing them totally having a blast on stage. It just totally kicks ass. The wierd part, to me at least, is bands that just seems like they aren't having fun. Isn't getting to sit and play music all day for money one of the best jobs in the world? How could you not have fun?
Now on to NEW stuff .....
YtseCon ]I[ -----------
Well, it sounds as if all is going cool for this, but I guess my main question is if the new album isn't gonna be out until Feb 97, and this was supposed to be a CD premiere party/YtseCon, ummmm.... what are they gonna premiere????
Also, how many of the over 21 people ( I will be by that time ) wanna go out and get sloshed after the Con?? Which leads to two other questions are there any under 21 people who wanna drive the drunks out to Suffolk County? or are there any over 21 people who wanna play designated driver to all the drunks?
Boston Clinic -------------
OK, Who is going???? I know currently that people are coming from Long Island, Philly, Quarryville, Seattle, and Boston (obviously). Anyone else travelling or anyone else local coming? Email me :)
I am thinking about maybe having an afterClinic get together at my place if there are alot of jammers there. Well, a few of us will probably go back to my place and chill anyway (considering they are sleeping here) so if you are coming, tell me :)
On LI for the weekend ---------------------
Well, I was back on LI for the weekend for my sister's graduation from that laim school in Huntington. Sorry I didn't get to see anyone, but was really busy.
DTC from LI....
The Academy of St Joseph's (In Brentwood) yearbook's title was: Lifting Shadows off a Dream. According to my Mom, all the girls at her school love DT, so expect some new female jammers once they hit the colleges in the Fall.
More DTC ...
I was watching some special on MuchMusic the other night on the Turkish Music Scene and as they panned past the window of some store in Turkey, what was in the window, but an Awake Tshirt. I just thought that was real neat.
That's all for now.
