Hey, Gentle Ben.....the argument on Metallica isn't whether they or we have
the same musical taste as we did 10 years ago. The argument is did they change
their "taste" while maturing their music or was it an effort to become more
accessible/commercially successful. Too many METAL fans feel it was the later.
A greater number fo borderline metal fans and non-metal fans believe the
former. As eExtreme said: Three sides to every story...yours, mine and the
truth (or yours, mine and Monday morning's depending on which part of the disc
you want to paraphrase :) ).
Anthrax is a great example. They have definitely changed over the years and
they have definitely matured (better with John Bush? that's a personal
opinion, too). But they have done this while maintaining their long-time fans'
respect as well as their own integrity. I and many others feel Metallica
hasn't done this.
DT has and, hopefully, will continue. I think someone just mentioned their
label buggin' the boys about more radio friendly stuff for better audience
appeal.
I'll bet Metallica came to the same crossroads, albeit on a different level.
They were already a huge, though non-mainstream, band. They took it to the
next logical step in fan-base/monetary growth. Will DT do the same? In the
previously mentioned post the writer hoped it wouldn't be songs like
"Innocence Faded". I agree. "Lie" would be a great direction to stay in as far
as 4/4, radio-written songs go. It's not a compromise in judgement, but easier
for folx to get into than Space Dye Vest.
LATER-
Steve

WOW !!!
Robert you are amazing. I didn't have time to read your home
page, but please tell me you did this for a school project or
the like (or better yet, you got paid for it!). That is *THE
BEST* CD player I have seen. Much better than Windoze95, corel,
and all the rest.
Setting it up to associate my CD ID# with your lyrics files was
cryptic at first, but makes perfect sense now. Any thoughts on
putting the play/pause button on the toolbar? If not, it's still
an outstanding piece of work. Kudos to you. If you are ever
passing through Columbus, Indiana look me up. I'll buy you a drink
or dinner or wash your car..... Needless to say, I AM IMPRESSED.
Everyone out in Ytse-land needs to get this program!
Thanks again, Robert.

Apparently Ben, some people still do. It's iconceivable to me, but
apparently some people do, because they want Metallica to sound like they
did 10 years ago.
*****************
I don't have the same musical taste I did *two* years ago. But
moving on, all the comparisons to Rush, Queensryche, etc. changing
their styles are wrong. The former bands still sound like themselves.
Time sig's. aren't aplenty now, but the musicians aren't playing any
less complexly (is that a word?) on their instruments. Rush can be
forgiven for changing styles and experimenting (like Presto) since
their *volume* of material is so massive. Load sounds like the band
that did the black album changed styles. I don't know why everyone's
complaining about people complaining about wanting Metallica to sound
like they did in the late '80s. MOP and AJFA were completely
different sounding albums, but they both still kicked ass. Awake is
the same DT that did WDADU, more mature, but still DT. If DT had done
an album that contained Another Day, WfS, IF, and LSoaD, what the hell
would we have thought of them? Well, some of you might've liked it---
the ones who think Dominici should rejoin the band.

Okay, then, I will...
This list is primarily for Dream Theater, but it is also
for *related bands*. One could make the case that Metallica
_used_ to be progressive, and is thus related to DT. Hell,
we've tolerated Tori Amos talk for years, and I know she
isn't progressive (musically). So maybye the real purpose of
the 'jam manifests itself: open-minded free-forum conversation
about music that doesn't suck.

Got my CD the other day and finally got some time to listen to it...
once again, excellent work Mike. A great collection of rarities,
almost like Antiquities II. Brief synopsis:
The first four tracks are very cool, I am surprised that they let
Charlie go. He is such an energetic person, he seemed very excited to
be there performing <G>... Distant Echoes is a cool little piece (is
this a Kevin Moore creation?)
Eve - great version
6:00, Lifting Shadows, CIAW - cool versions of these songs as well,
CIAW is quite a bit different from the Awake version (I'll have to do
a side-by-side comparison later)...
ACOS - Mike is right on with his liner note comments on this track.
Oliver's Twist - I think I'll have to listen to this track a few
more times... I beleive I have heard this song somewhere before <G>.
Only a Matter of Time - fragment of a John Arch audition.
Autumn Moon - cool composition, I only wish it was longer...
So, run, don't walk and go order this disc... actually, get all of
Mike Bahr's CDs, they will truly make your DT collection something
special (and your friends jealous!)....
BTW, I want to send a big thank you to James Colberg for the fine
selection of DT collectables that he sent me, I ordered quite a bit
from him and had the package in my hands in just over a week. Thanks
Jim!

So someone tell me about petrucci clinics over the summe ... I
know that he is doing a few clinics for the NSGW (national summer guitar
workshop for the "acronym-impaired). i don't know if you can attend
these clinics unless you are signed up for the course ...
and i just found out that Ibanez has re-released the Black 7
string monster of Steve Vai fame! just picked up the '96 catalog and
there it was, big, bad, and ready for really low crunch! my washington
music center has it for $1215 ($120 dowpayment to actually get them to
order it) w/o case. A deal! So for all you people who have always
wanted to chug along to "Lie", "CIAW", or "The Mirror" or have been
looking for that extra low crunch which will make everyone in your
neighborhood jealous (or annoyed), get one today! I will!

My musical tastes are primarily the same as it was 10 years ago. I prefer
hard rock/heavy metal. Nowdays I am more into prog rock/metal, but
that is still hard rock/metal.
LOAD is a hard rock/metal album. It is not thrash, but it still rocks.
There's talk of a new KISS live album being released that contains stuff
from Alive I and II. How much of those 2 albums were really live? Theres
all these rumors/facts that most of the crowd noise was from Monday Night
Football. Some of the songs were not recorded live. They just added crowd
noise. I dont know why they did all this fake stuff since I have boots
that sound better than Alive I and II and III.
Who is in King Crimson nowdays? I am contemplating going and see them in
concert to really see if I like them. The only cd I have is Larks... with
Wetton and Fripp and I do like it but I know they hae had many lineup
changes since. How long are their sets nowdays? What are all the
instruments that they play nowdays?

I couldn't wait to find out what the surprise was about this puppy.
All I can say is that it is indeed a surprise. It's really weird
hearing something that's supposed to be kind of recent in a song
that's from 1991 or so. Oh well. Fun listening.
That's pretty much the only song I've listened to in its entirety
from Scenes so far. I haven't had jack for time to listen to the
others. I kept it playing while I was taking a shower, and as I was
coming out, I heard part of Eve, and it was a really clear live
rendition of it.
BTW, my number is #495, but alas, it's a reserved number. So, this
has no bearing on whether yours should have come by now.

Who IS this motherfucker? Look, dude, for the 50 millionth time, this list
is for the discussion of DT and Related Topics. DT hasn't done anything
recently, so there's not a vast amount to talk about; and lots of Jammers
like Metallica, including me. And people graciously put "Metallica" or
"Load" as their subject, so just skip it. Besides, comparatively speaking,
the stats you posted (and wow, very comprehensive ones, too) are more or less
mildly split: 7 to 11, 13 to 15. Big deal. Sounds roughly like every single
other Jam I've gotten all year.
Stop fucking complaining, brother. We've heard it all before. YOUR post
certainly didn't have anything productive to say. And why didn't you sign
your name? "No comment." Oooh, you so cool. I don't think I've ever even
heard of you before... not a great way to introduce yourself to the Jam.
Now for some DT Content:
Mike Bahr as DT's producer... it'd be really cool and all, but I'm not really
sure how likely it is to happen, realistically. The record company might not
be too enthusiastic about hiring a producer who bootlegged the very band he's
working for. And afterward Mike probably wouldn't be able to make his CD's
anymore, whether by time constraints or contract obligations or just
professional etiquette.
The producer's impartiality might be a problem too... if I was producing
them, I'd just hit the Record button and sit there with my jaw on the floor.
Producers have to make tough decisions about stuff like cutting and
arranging songs, and I wouldn't want to even try to interfere with DT's work,
you know? Producing's a lot more than just twiddling the EQ and mic'ing
everything correctly; just like a movie Director does a lot more than just
aim the camera. Producers push the band in a certain direction, and often
affect the way a band writes and performs their music. Big shoes to fill.
And the band might have to consider professional aspects. They might want a
producer with all these phat qualifications and experience under his belt.
And they'd want to be able to work without constant Ytsejammer nagging. You
know, we'd all be emailing Mike with suggestions and questions and Frantic
Demands for tapeloads of outtakes... and if by chance DT becomes a big
successful hit because of Mike's awesome production skillz, then we'd all
blame him for making DT sellouts. And he could never show his face on the
Jam again...
But what do I know about the Biz? Nothing. Mike, if you're into all this,
and you dig the Producer Thing, then by all means, lobby DT's management for
the job and go for it. I wouldn't use Jammer petitions or anything like
that, since that might look like Mob Rule or something, or just Incessant
Nagging. But if by chance you do get the job, you could snag yourself a cool
rep in music circles. (A coolER rep, I mean) And a phat career, full of
fame & fortune; wine, women, and song; Scoobacca: The Next Led Zeppelin; Star
Wars figures as far as the eye can see. Wow... are you all having Vicarious
Delusions Of Grandeur yet?
[All this is IMNSHO.]
Mike, if you do get to produce them, how about pulling some strings and
letting me draw the cover and booklet art? <grin>
"Uh, Mr. Bahr, you did a great job producing the band's album, but is it
really necessary to enclose a free Magic card with each CD?"
I do, however, think that at least he'll be included in the Thank You's on
the next album. Which is still pretty cool.
And whoever suggested that Portnoy or Petrucci produce it themselves, right
on. Good idea. I'd also like to see DT get back together with Terry Date...
WDADU wasn't very impressively produced by Date, but since then, he has done
some really awesome production jobs with Pantera and White Zombie (and a
bunch of other bands whose names momentarily escape me).
Speaking of which...
Dallas/Fort Worth Jammers: If any of you are going to the Pantera/White
Zombie concert on July 13 at the Starplex, email me... maybe we can get
together before the show or something. Eat, drink, hang out, paint our
faces, etc.
Out,
Scott.
