Well hello there boys and girls!!!!!!!!
Anyone living within range of a Newspaper called Newsday here on
L.I. has to go and pick up Tuesdays edition. On page three in all my glory
is a picture of me, the Esteemed Mithrandir with a caption underneath. So
anyone who wants to see what I look like, or just wants to make fun of me
should see it.
The recent attacks on Chaminade and St. Anthony's are all in good
fun. You have to understand these two schools are huge rivals, and we hate
each other. Chaminade grads are just jealous because we've won the last
three Football championships. So there!!!!
No Mojo for a few days. Man is it quiet or what?
" What color is the sky in your world" Wasn't that from Cheers? I
believe Frasier asked Cliff that question once.
Karri; More questions are on the way. Why don't you send me some and
test me? I actually relish the challenge.

No WAY! Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was partly
responsible for getting me into Iron Maiden ("Put them in the Iron
Maiden..." "And now, opening for Iron Maiden, Wyld Stallyns..."). GREAT
flix. Classic humour. Have you noticed how most dumb buddy movies
involve a blond and brunette (B&T, Beavis and Butthead, Wayne and
Garth)?
Man, I need to get some cash so I can get more DT boots. All
this talk about the Mike bahr CDs (the only one I have is AD) and the
like is just getting me jealous of you all who had the cash to take
advantage of this. Maybe I can scrounge something up for some of the
currently available ones.
Just saw a Tori video earlier today. Though i'm not really into
her, I do realize she has some good stuff. Definitely some good
artistic music (such a rarity today).

Hiya Jammers,
I am a recent listener to Mike Bahr's CD's but I have WDATU as well
as copies of Subconc, AQ, Acoustic Dreams and am damn impressed by
Mike's production skills. I reckon you should go for it Mike as I am
sure heaps of other Jammers will support you.

So then, if once you you wrote long, epic, heavy songs, and now you write
short, simple songs, you sold out? Oh ok, 'scuse my ignorance..
What really annoys me about the whole 'selling out' issue is that, if
Metallica put out another album like MoP or AJfA, most of the people that
say Metallica sold out, would probably be saying that they're just repeating
themselves, and sticking to a formula.

Well look at this way...we've been told that they have 9 songs written which
sum up to 80min. I&W had 8 songs and under an hour. You do the math.

Well, that could work. But since Bahr himself admits to not knowing much
about studio recording, it would only work if he teamed up w/ an experienced
engineer(Debbie Seeger maybe?:) ) But I think Bahr would do a good job...
I've always thought that the best producer for a band would be one that is a
fan ( didn't you hear? ceiling fans are excellent producers:) )
Of course, there is a difference to making CD's out of previosly recorded
stuff, as to the actual recording process.
The only problem I see, is that then we won't be able to complain about the
CD's production on the jam (Mike, I got my Scenes CD, but it has a huge
scratch on it, what happened?) ;)
just kidding Mike...I know you're too cool to do such things:)

Why not? Bahr obviously is a good guy and is competent which is
reason enough for me. Mind you, I want the album out soon so it's getting
close to the point where I'd let Phil Collins produce it.

Some of you probably know that Kiss is releasing an album on I think the 25th of July?? It will be called "You wanted the best, you got the best" It will have 5 songs from Alive 1, 5 songs from Alive 2 and 4 unreleased live tracks from the original shows that 1 and 2 were recorded from. The Japanese import will have 1 extra track NYGroove.
Some of you may not know that a while ago, before the reunion tour was a full fledged idea, the most recent incarnation of Kiss Paul, Gene, Bruce, and Eric S. recorded an album that was supposed to come out in March. The album called "Carnival of Souls" was shelved until after the reunion tour. Lucky for us Kiss fans someone stole a copy of this unreleased album and copied it for a few people. The tape is now floating all over the net. I just got a copy of it and holy shit does this rock!! REAL heavy yet still Kiss. Alot of D tuning like DT does on 6:00 and CIAW. So they get the same crunch. They also have a couple of songs with time changes, whoa hold on!!! I think this is the best kiss disc since the took off the makeup, some people on the Kiss army mailing list are calling it their best ever. I will always be partial to the original band, but this is seriously a kick ass disc. I will be willing to make copies of it for anyone who wants a copy. All the FULL songs on it can also be downloaded from www.sunset.net/roth I recommend Hate (is what I am) or Rain (down on me) or The Jungle

And then they will let the album die, like they did before. Did they ever push The Silent Man? Did they ever release Innocence Faded? No! And that will happen to the commercial stuff from the new album, too. What's all this radio stuff for, when it's never played on the radio?
Yes, I AM pissed off.<<<<<<<<<
Me too. My first impression of "Lifting Shadows..." was it sounded U2-ish. It's one hell of a cool song, though. I just hope (big "knock"s on my Warwick) that DT will not sell out. As long as BALLS AND CHUNK are there, DT rules!!!!!! Record companies are big fuck-ups. See what happened to "Another Day"? Nothing.

Hi all,
i just subscribed to the Ytsejam-mailing service so i'm very currios about what is going on in this mailing service about the greatest band since Queen. I've been a DT-fan for a few years now. After hearing one of their albums i was sold and bought all their albums. I think their music is the best. The more you listen to it the better it gets.
Next summer (in 18 days actualy) i'll be going to the USA on my holliday and i would like to buy some bootlegs of DT. I have been looking on the www for one hour now for the bootleg list but i can't find it. The ftp-site netcom.com/pud/dr/drkhoe/.... doesn't exist. Does anybody know where i can get it or coeld someone send it to me privately? I also would like to know if there are any good cd-stores in San Fransisco where they sell a lot of good DT-bootlegs. I would appreciate it verry much if someone would help me.
I also have a homepage wich i think looks great. It has got lots of links to nice sites. (Amsterdam, DT, Queen, Cdnow, Ajax, you name it and it's there). Check it out and give me some tips on it.
I hope to have a good time on the Ytsejam. Let it rock!!

To quote The Who: "The kids are alright". Good to see some citation. A friendly suggestion, though, you may want to change "last night". What about a week, or month from now? It's not time-sensitive. Oh well, you'll probably have a new sig. by then...

Correctamundo! My sentiments exactly. If you really think about it, 'Load' isn't really that big of a jump from TBA. One of John Petrucci's favorite bands comes to mind, U2. Think about the transition from 'The Joshua Tree' (or 'Rattle and Hum', if you prefer), to 'Achtung Baby'. Talk about night and day. My initial reaction to "The Fly" was, "What the--?" That's not Bono...or is it? It took me a while to get used to, but then I got into it. The music was still there, they just chose a different direction. That direction was a result of growth: they opted to get off the soapbox and write material that pleased them. There are some really good songs on that album. Come on, 'Joshua' had black-and-white pictures of the band in the desert, and 'Achtung' has a naked bass player! Zooropa was the next logical progression. Other examples include: Living Colour's 'Vivid' and 'Time's Up', King's X's 'Dogman' and 'Ear Candy', QR's 'Operation: Mindcrime' and 'Empire', and any number of Rush albums. I listed 'Mindcrime' and 'Empire' because the former album was cold, hard, and cruel with Orwellian overtones. The latter has a big, warm production with introspective lyrics, and an overall mellower vibe. For Rush, I'd use 'Moving Pictures' and 'Signals' as examples. The former, aside from being one of my favorite albums, has good production, songs, and energy. The latter could have had better production. It also started the "keyboard" era of Rush. The material is good, but it doesn't move me the way 'MP' does. At least it would provide nomenclature for a Vermont 'Jammer, who will remain anonymous. Change is good. I hope when the new DT album comes out, people aren't so judgmental before they actually (physically) hear it. Whatever direction it is, it's DT. They will prove you wrong. If you don't like it, 'Load', 'Test For Echo', the new Yes project, or anything else, create a friggin' tribute band. Compose material that you like. And stop complaining.
>This is the group which had "Bon Jovi must die" (more or less) on their guitars.
Point of clarification: James Hetfield has a white Jackson flying V with a "Kill Bon Jovi" on top of the "Jackson" logo on the headstock. It can be seen on the cover of a "Justice"-era Guitar Player.
> There's an interview with Alex Lifeson in the latest Sound Choice >Magazine (the BMG Music Service mag) in which he says exactly that. Also >if you e-mail Magna Carta and magcart@aol.com they will tell you the same >thing.
Can you please elucidate where you are from? I receive the "Discovery" version for BMG in the U.S. I hope they print the Lerxst article.
>Subject: YOUR THE ONE!
Point of clarification: actually, it's "you're" the one.
For some of the more open-minded 'Jammers, check out Vernon Reid's "Mistaken Identity" album, in stores now. It's all instrumental, but not in ways you are accustomed to. Once again, he's made me pick up my guitar and utter, "Huh?"

dman, welcome home, btw. we're due for a trade, i believe.............email me when you read this, g.
i think the list of the people doing clinics at the ngsw this summer was way cool. petrucci (of course, it's like a staple of his now it seems), reeves gabrels (!) and mike keneally (wow!!!!!!!!!!!). too bad i have to work all summer.
so rush doesn't quite dig the tribute, eh? hmmm......so much for dt touring with them (thank god!).
well, that's it. peace out.
