YOU DICK!!!! D-MAN.....do you remember when I gave my password to my
girlfriend
years ago????????
Do you remember what happened??????
If I jumped off the Verazanno bridge, landed on a tanker full of
Ass-hungry gays, and to escape anal tearing, jumped to the sea to be eaten
by sharks.............I guess you would follow a couple of years
later.......
*****************************************
I finally listened to Metallica Load......
Here's my very quick take on it....
*** The production is by far the worst I've heard in years....( And Bob
Rocks work was finally begining to grow on me!)
*** The guitar playing does not stand out.....(one of the reasons is that
I cant hear it.....another production problem......)
*** The Drums sound like they were recorded in my brothers asshole....
*** When I DO hear the guitars, they sound like ASS....
*** The songs barely hold any quality to them..
.If the tape wasn't my buddy's ....I would have tossed it out of the
window at 110 mph.....
The album sucks!!!!
*****************************
Mike Bahr;
I heard your work with WDATU and Antiquities last night.......Excellent
stuff!!!!!!
I wish I had ordered that stuff when it was available,....

Sorry I haven't been participating here more (or on IRC for that matter), but I've basically been coming home only to sleep, due to editing and proofreading stuff for Dragon*Con, our SF/fantasy/comics/gaming etc. convention here in Atlanta.
Now, I'll try to catch up. :)

Hey jammers;
I've seen some posts in the past about people getting ripped off or screwed on trades/purchases of DT boots here in the jam. Welp, I just made my first "transaction" through the jam and I'm happy to say that it went without a hitch!
THanks go out to dsteele@aol.com for my copy of WDATU #580. I sent this guy a check for $25 made out to cash, and he PROMPTLY shipped me the CD! I must admit I was a little nervous, but I took a chance and trusted him. I also had a chance to talk to him on the phone and he's a cool dude. He is a true and definite DT fan type :) Before I knew it I was on this long distance call to him for like an hour and a half and all we did was talk music! Thanks for being cool and honest dude! WDATU is going to help round out my DT collection :)
JASON BECKER - I've noticed that some jammers are interested in Jason Becker, and I wanted to let you all know there is a link to Jason's page and his new CD order form (plus how to get his other stuff with Cacophony, etc..) on my home page at:
http://users1.ee.net/buster (the character after users is a ONE, not L)
I ask that if you do link to him through my page, leave him some email and let him know how you got there (i.e.: via the Ytsejam list and Dave Hatlee). The reason I ask this is because I've been talking with Jasons manager and I'll be doing some Web Page work for them to help support Jasons ventures, and Jason would love to hear that we're out here spreading the word. Visit his page and find out what makes his situation so unique!
Peace, buster

Hey 'jammers -
Unfortunately (for me at least), I have to unsubscribe because I leave to go back home very soon. Can any jammers write me to let me know how this is done? Thank you very much, and I'll see you ytse-studs in Sept.

Nevermind, MythReindeer. I know how to keep a beat. It goes: 1 measure of 4/4, one measure of 6/8, then back to 4/4. I was asking if the the first 4/4 and the second 4/4 are at the same tempo. I'll figure it out myself....thanks anyway. :-?
>P.S. Hey Frank, my quote will be " Sorry about that " yet again, Laughs!!!!!
Yeah....okay.
>Frank, I'm sorry to have used you as an example. You still are one of >the coolest people I know, and am proud to call you a friend ( enjoy TSM >single). Oh yeah, it looks like BD this weekend ( Personal joke ).
Personal joke? Like, you're the only one that would get it?

I >haven't heard harmonies done in that style since The Last Unicorn.
Yeah, they is cool....but I think the harmonies in the beginning of Thorn Within are cooler. They have that uncomfortable Alice and Chains feel almost. All of it's cool schtuff...though, I think that Hero of the Day wins the most different award, due to the fact that it's a slow acoustic song in a MAJOR key. They've not done that before. Of course, there is the heavy part, but it still stays kind of happy.
>and shades of the soft side of Dyers' Eve.
There IS no soft side of Dyers' Eve. :-) :-) <grin>
>Hey, how come nobody is sending me their TOP 10 lists of musicans with their >instrustments!
Well, I don't know about them, but I'd like to keep my instruments. I only have one drumkit, you know? I don't even OWN any musicians, and I'm not going to send myself. I don't fit into envelopes well, and I sure as hell ain't going to beam myself to you over the internet.
Is anybody ever going to organize a Ytse-Con Vegas, or am I going to have to do it myself?!
Buhbye.

Date: Fri, 7 Jun 1996 19:40:11 -0600 (MDT) From: brax@lamar.ColoState.EDU (Bracken MacLeod) To: ytsejam@ax.com Subject: Load Message-ID: <9606080140.AA128012@lamar.ColoState.EDU>
Okay, I can't stay out of this any longer. I hate Load. Although, I will start with the positive: I love the cover. Mapplethorpe's "Blood and Semen II" is a rocking photograph! And yes, it is real (bovine) blood, and RM's very own semen. Gross, but I like Seranno's "Piss Christ" too, so don't even go there with me. Load is the album long-time Metallica fans expected it to be. Further down the spiral of musical banality (thank you Trent Reznor). First the good points (musically): Kirk plays less. There. Hetfield had a good vocal style before he started ripping off Danzig. Lars is as plod heavy as ever (all you Portnoy fans should hear that in a second). Newstead can be heard, but they still don't let him play. All of this is surrounded by weak and simplistic arrangement. Where's the orchestration and good guitar tone? This would be a great rock album for people who think Soundgarden is too heavy (I love SG, so don't go there with me either). There are already plenty of good rock albums out there. Metallica was a vanguard of progressive, heavy, complicated music for people who love to LISTEN to music (a'la Justice For All). They should have stayed true to their talents, and not tried to make another jillion dollars with this trendier and more pop oriented album. How many more self-imposed boundaries (no videos, no singles, no shorter songs, etc.) can they kid themselves into believing actually have integrity NOW that metal is dying. Had Metallica been interested in progressing they would have done now with Load what they did in '86 with Master of Puppets. Listen to that one again, and compare it to other albums from '86. That was truly groundbreaking. Load is simply... another rock album like so many others.
IMHO IMHO IMHO
And to satisfy all those out there with skins as thick as bible paper, there is nothing personal here directed at anyone but the members of Metallica (with the exception of Newsted who would like to move in a heavier direction, as evidenced by his recent controversial excusions with other bands). Just because you might like the Load doesn't mean I think you're a puntz. I just disagree with you concerning the fact that it is a METALLICA album. It's still a good rock album.

I deleted the address with John Hough's email in it. So, are any other Bay Area Jammers going to the show at Shoreline on the 29th??? If not, I'll take a day off and see them in Sac. on the 28th (my friends are going to that one--- no need to travel down here for them). We could meet at some restaurant on El Camino in Mountain View (like !Una Mas! yum yum) before the show. I'll be coming from Hayward, if anyone on the east side of the bay needs a ride.

He,he, I had the feeling that was gonna happen. It's not you Seth. On the new Pantera they have a guy called Seth as 'guest screamer', and on every song on which he screams, they write 'Seth screamed on this'

Btw, what happened to "response@ibmmail.com" after Jam 1597 ? Did he unsubscribe ? I'm sure gonna miss his posts on the 'Jam... At least he never flamed anyone... OTOH, his messages never did contain any DTC... oh well...
