    I'm pretty sure Mike's clinics are usally sponsored by Sabian cymbals. (maybe
    Tama is now doing them as well now that Mike's back with them) I know Sabian
    has a web site, maybe they list upcoming clinics there. or maybe you can
    e-mail over there to find out?
    Either way... if any jammers ever hear of upcoming clinics, PLEASE list them
    and share the info. alot of times the stores only advertise to local
    musicians on their mailing lists, leaving alot of us in the cold until
    somebody posts a review.
    Here's what i can share: All i know is that Mike is about to do a clinic tour
    down in Australia this month....If anyone has more info, please post so we
    can stop reading about Metallica and start reading about DT! Cheers!!

            Sheesh. She's playing in Vegas teh 26th. That gives me one day to
    find out if I like her, and decide if I want to buy tickets. :-) Yowza. If
    stupid Best Buy had had Little Earthquakes when I was looking for it, I
    wouldn't have this problem. They better have it when I go tomorrow.

    >1- theyre cds are full blown price, always seem to be 16 dollars no

    Load was $11.98 and the Until it Sleeps single was $.99

    >2- you cant get their stuff from cd clubs, most likely because they dont

    Well, us normal people actually BUY CD's as opposed to signing up to like
    ten CD clubs so we can get ten free discs over and over again. ;-)

    >3- theyre changing their image to remain 'radio friendly' and trying to

    Kirk's always been wierd.....maybe it was his dream to someday wear eye

    Because that's not what you want Metallica to be. To all the people that
    don't like the new stuff? Metallica didn't sell out. YOU just have BAD

    Message-ID: <9606100854.AA00282@sundoc13.software-ag.de>

    Hi all

    here's a very brief run-through of what I thought of the bands that played in
    the Summer Metal Meeting in Offenbach on Friday, followed by a few bits'n'pieces
    of other stuff

    Lake of Tears - good, but far too short
    Iced Earth - nice stuff, I'll have to get something by this band
    The Gathering - great set, amazing vocals, fantastic sound
    Nevermore - never again
    Crematory - should have stayed at home
    Rage - not over-impressed
    Tiamat - absolutely amazing even if Johan has shaved his head and now looks like
             Billy Corgan
    Savatage - sort of OK, but I left after about 30 minutes

    A big compliment to the stage crews and sound guys (and the two girls who do
    the back projections for Tiamat): all bands had great sound, the changes between
    bands were really short, and everything just went very smoothly.

    Now for the other stuff:

    1. I still like "Load".

    2. Why do so many people on mailing lists (not just this one) have pseudonyms?
    Can't face reality huh?

    3. If any of you like doom/gothic music, check out the album "melancholy" by
    the Polish band "Cemetary Of Scream". Nice one.

    4. How come nobody mentions Carlos Santana when guitarists are being discussed?
    This guy has one of the cleanest sounds around, can be very fast if he wants
    to be, and never hits a bum note. Listen to "Love, Devotion, Surrender" with
    John McCloughlin and you'll hear what I mean.

    That's all for now.

    stay safe and happy listening

    Message-ID: <31bbf318.dennis@relay.dennis.se>

    Mornin' All....

    To the person asking for info. re. a Marillion live album from 1984,
    you've definately got yourself some sort of a boot there. Just to
    break it down, Marillion have over the years released 4 "official"
    live CD's, in the following order;

    1. "Real to Reel" - 1984, EMI/Capitol Records
                                    Marillion's answer to U2's "Under a
                                    Blood redy sky". Single disk set, and
                                    perhaps their best live CD, despite the
                                    somewhat dodgy sound.

    2. "The Thieving Magpie" - 1988, EMI/Capitol Records
                                    The Fish kiss-off, a double CD-set with
                                    tons of stuff on it, among them a complete
                                    version of "Misplaced Childhood". If you
                                    don't have any Marillion at all, get this!

    3. "Live at Lorely" - 1995, EMI/PMI Records
                                    The soundtrack to the "Live at Lorely" vid.
                                    Only available with the re-released video,
                                    but well worth the price!

    4. "Made Again" - 1996, EMI/Castle Communications
                                    A double disk set featuring the best of the
                                    Steve Hogarth era. Features a brilliant
                                    version of "Brave" live. After you get
                                    "Thieving", get this!!!

    I still think we should have a Marillion/Dream Theater tour.....

    Best wishes,

    "Shadow Gallery", their first effort, is available in Europe. It's not as
    compact and coherent as Carved, though. Too many cosmetics.

    Subject: Bruce Dickinson concert review
    Message-ID: <9606101136.AA04938@pebble.dcs.gla.ac.uk>

    I saw Bruce live last night. OK, the venue was tiny, but the show was just
    so cool!

    He played lots of stuff from "Skunkworks", one from "Tattoed Millionaire", and
    two from "Balls to Picasso". Most of the crowd didn't know the new stuff, so
    the reaction was indifferent, but the "Balls" songs (especially "Tears of the
    Dragon") went down a storm.

    Coolest part of the evening? Half way through the encore, the band just stood
    still . . . deathly silence . . . and then we hear this mysterious voice:
       
       "WE WANT INFORMATION . . ."

    The roof just about lifted off! I never thought he'd play any Maiden stuff
    again. He did change some of the lyrics though: "Not a prisoner . . . I'm
    in Skunkworks . . ." or something like that.

    The last song was "Delilah" . . . you know, the tune from the Weetabix TV
    advert :-)

    Oh, and I was within cock^H^H^H^H^H^H I was very close to Mr Dickinson
    himself.

    A very fine night :-)

    P.S. I got a drumstick.

    P.P.S. I could have got his autograph, but I already have it 3 times ;-)

    Over here in Switzland, Load sells for 2/3 full CD price!!! Even that
    cheap, I won't buy this insult. However, the above was especially right for
    Metallica videos. Cliff'em All was THE MOST EXPENSIVE music video around
    and its price has just gone down recently to NORMAL. BTW, the two "1 1/2
    year in the..." vids were a rip-off since IMO they could've been easily
    condensed into one (YES, I saw both). What was nice with a band like
    Maiden, for instance, was that they relesed a load of cool videos, at a
    reasonable price (OK they didn't sell as much as Metallica, but what the
    fuck?).

    BTW, I entirely follow D-man's opinion. If you want to flame other peoples'
    opinions on NDTC, do it privately. Otherwise, it's gonna be a REAL HARD
    SUMMER on the jam!

    Here is what I originally wrote:

    Using irc from my brother's account:
    I type irc
    I get connected to some server
    I type /server irc.dreamt.org 2112
    then it always says connecting to server irc.dreamt.org on port 6667
    then it fails

    any ideas?

    hello there. the prodigal ytsejammer returns home, and he learns that there's
    no place like home, on the bus.........

    i have prepared for the worst test-taking experience of my young life- it's
    called the lsat's. i spent what time i had between a 22 credit semester, 4
    show, and 3 recital semester, and spent almost all my days thus far at home
    stowed away at the trusty kaplan center nearest me immersing myself for this
    FUCKING test. and i mean fucking.

    but by the time this is recieved, it shall be over. if this received before
    2:00 pm monday, say like something profound and wish that i do well. all this
    shit just to end up where i really belong- music school.

    anyways, i am home. to those i know, hello. to those i don't know, hello to
    you as well. and the summer will officially begin at 9:00pm!

    FUNKY FRESH IN DA FUCKIN HOUSE!

    looking forward to ytsejam.

    Metallica sells out because your local store doesn't carry the album
    cheaply? Sorry, that doesn't cut it. It was $11.99 at my local Blockbuster
    Music. It's not Metallica's decision, but the record company's, I'm fairly
    sure.

    Even tho I bought Load on the day is came out (just happened to be a
    shopping day for me, not an "eagerly awaited" thing) and haven't even
    listened to the whole thing yet. Too busy. Haven't even put the new
    SoundGarden in the CD Player... sigh. At least finals end tomorrow and then
    I'm free.

    Eagerly awaiting SFAM.

    i responded to what you wrote in a civilized, restrained, and
    mature manner. i find it sad that you can't do the same. my
    post, since you obviously didn't get it, was not condemning
    you or your beliefs. it was simply saying that doing that
    could cause a flame war as bad as the religion flame wars
    we've had in the past. that's all. i would say that it was
    you who jumped all over me, quite possible causing exactly the
    thing that i was warning against. you don't gain anyone's respect
    by attacking a fellow jammer like that. i would hope that you
    e in the way you react, but apparently
    ntrums are for pre-schoolers.

    guess the majority hate it. I love it. May be one of the best cds of 1996
    in my opinion. This is a great metal/hard rock cd.

    How many people have received their Carpe Diem cds?

    16th row for Dave Matthews Band at Nissan Pavillion.

    21st row for Smashing Pumpkins (Fiancee likes them) at USAir Arena

    6th row for Neil Diamond (for Fiancee's mother, I do not plan on attending)

    I guess those are pretty good seats for calling in...

    I guess I am rambling....

    Oh yeah, King Crimson at Merriweather I think on Aug 25. Tickets on sale
    already...

    Wow! Tori Unplugged and a new KISS album both on my birthday! Score!

    Tonight! One night only! Metallica LIVE on the internet from Slim's in
    San Francisco. I don't know what time it's supposed to start, but there
    is supposed to be a live chat BEFORE the show. I was at the show last
    night and it was fuckin' incredible! That's the first time i'd seen the
    boyz in a small club and it was worth seeing. I don't want to ruin it
    by telling you what they played other than to say they only played
    three songs off of LOAD and they sounded great! If you liked the new
    stuff you'll like it even more; if you don't like the new stuff, you'll
    probably enjoy hearing the live versions anyway because they sounded so
    great!

    I don't know what kind or software you need to watch this, so if you
    email me asking me what you need, you'll get the above answer :-)
