Eh. I see the point. Depends on what direction a band might want to go in.
Could be good or bad. Often times a producer is exactly what ends up
reining in a band's creative processes, though-- cutting songs, making tunes
more "accessible," exercising a little organization, and that Objective
Viewpoint is what keeps the band's sessions from dissolving into chaos.
I know; I've had to be that Objective Viewpoint from *within* a band, and you
have to be an Asshole. You have to say Look, sit down, shut the fuck up,
take out those extra 5 outro repeats, shorten the guitar solo, don't be so
busy on the drums, etc. etc. And your other band members grumble and fume,
but the song gets recorded, finally. The producer has to be that Asshole--
and a lot of times that's just what a band needs; someone to preside, settle
disputes, offer advice outside of the songwriting/performing loop, keep the
band in line and on track. That's probably what Portnoy's talking about. I
can buy that.
On the other hand, look where self-producing can go. Jimmy Page produced all
Led Zeppelin's releases, and ended up pioneering rock music in both
songwriting (intricate, complex, multi-styled music) and production (loudly
mixed drums, weird guitar/vocal effects, unorthodox recording methods). Jimi
Hendrix produced a lot of his own stuff off of Electric Ladyland and Are You
Experienced, and you know how Far Out he got. ELP produced their own stuff
(individually, usually). More recently, Tori Amos produced her latest album,
Boys For Pele, and the album is such a weird, scary departure from her
earlier stuff. Uh, I can't think of any more examples, except maybe for Mr.
Bungle (who self-produced their 2nd record Disco Volante, in the
heretofore-thought-impossible task of out-weirding their first John
Zorn-produced album).
Essentially, self-production, while it takes away that outside opinion (and
possibly the last vestiges of order in the studio), it also allows
opportunities for bands to really let their ideas flow. For all you
Prog-nuts out there, that just might result in a Return To Form for Dream
Theater-- they might go totally overboard with their creative processes,
experimenting with new and weirder styles and techniques, maybe getting more
Progressive, maybe not.
I mean, personally, as a fan of the Awake era, I'm not sure how much of an
impact DT's producers had on their material. A whole lot of you like I&W
better than Awake... I wonder if Awake's "less progressive" edge had anything
to do with the producers' styles (after all, they did produce for Heart). Or
if I&W would have been MORE progressive had DT stayed with Terry Date instead
of David Prater. I really don't know. Has the band commented on this at
all? In interviews or something? Do they do most of their songwriting on
their own anyway?
Self-producing, I think, would involve a lot of self-discipline, which I
venture that DT has. And I certainly think they're game to try new ideas,
synthesize them from within the band, as opposed to from outside.
Then, maybe they're worried about their press... imagine how "self-indulgent"
they'd be called if they produced their own album, full of super-cutting-edge
prog stuff.
And at this point in their careers, I don't know how willing EastWest would
be to let DT produce themselves. Maybe further on down the road.
Still, I think it'd be cool.
And that is my Too Sense.

Subject: Virus Warnings! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Message-ID: <199606140138.SAA19770@dfw-ix8.ix.netcom.com>
WARNING!!!!!!! INTERNET VIRUS
The FCC released a warning last Wednesday concerning a matter of major
importance to any regular user of the Internet. Apparently a new
computer virus has been engineered by a user of AMERICA ON LINE that
is unparalleled in its destructive capability. Other more well-known
viruses such as "Stoned", "Airwolf" and "Michaelangelo" pale in
comparison to the prospects of this newest creation by a warped
mentality. What makes this virus so terrifying, said the FCC, is the
fact that no program needs to be exchanged for a new computer to be
infected. It can be spread through the existing email systems of the
Internet.
Once a Computer is infected, one of several things can happen. If
the computer contains a hard drive, that will most likely be
destroyed. If the program is not stopped, the computer's processor
will be placed in an nth-complexity infinite binary loop -which can
severely damage the processor if left running that way too long.
Unfortunately, most novice computer users will not realize what is
happening until it is far too late. Luckily, there is one sure means
of detecting what is now known as the "Good Times" virus. It always
travels to new computers the same way in a text email message with
the subject line reading "Good Times". Avoiding infection is easy
once the file has been received simply by NOT READING IT! The act
of loading the file into the mail server's ASCII buffer causes the
"Good Times" mainline program to initialize and execute. The program
is highly intelligent- it will send copies of itself to everyone
whose email address is contained in a receive-mail file or a sent-mail
file, if it can find one. It will then proceed to trash the computer
it is running on.
The bottom line is: - if you receive a file with the subject line
"Good Times", delete it immediately! Do not read it" Rest assured
that whoever's name was on the "From" line was surely struck by the
virus. Warn your friends and local system users of this newest threat
to the Internet! It could save them a lot of time and money.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FILE NAMED PKZIP300 REGARDLESS OF THE EXTENSION!!
A NEW Trojan Horse Virus has emerged on the internet with the name
PKZIP300.ZIP, so named as to give the impression that this file is a
new version of the PKZIP software used to "ZIP" (compress) files.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD this file under any circumstances!!! If you install or
expand this file, the virus WILL wipe your hard disk clean and
affect modems at 14.4 and higher. This is an extremely destructive
virus
and there is NOT yet a way of cleaning up this one.
REPEAT: DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FILE NAMED PKZIP300 REGARDLESS OF
THE EXTENSION.

These goodtimes warnings pop up from time to time, but the PKZIP I
haven't heard of before, please be careful out there!

Ben,
Don't take this wrong, but....have you ever thought that Metallica jus isn'tt
as good as they were before TBA? I mean the bottomline could just as well be
that their creativity in the metal genre has run out so they have brought in a
new influence--commercial success on a large scale. Is it any wonder Jason
Newsted --the newest member of the band--allegedly wants to move in a new
direction? It seems so many people on the Jam want to equate "oldest fans
losing interest" with the inability of those fans' to mature and grow with the
band as well.
A band can keep their oldest fans without selling out. I don't believe
Metallica fits that argument. They have changed so drastically in such a few
number of releases (i.e. AJFA to TBA) that the "maturing" argument is
extremely hard to swallow for the longer term fans. Not saying 14 year olds
can't appreciate and get crazy to the stuff that came out when they were 4,
but they haven't GROWN with the band. It is a relationship over TIME as well
as musicalappreciation or BELONGING to a certain image.
I dislike a lot of the alternative music, but I also hated a lot of the metal
that got airplay. It has nothing to do with how many others' like it, it has
to do with who I believe DESERVES the notoriety and WHY. I have no problem
admiting ANYTHING. And anyone who does wouldn't read your post and all of the
sudden say, "Wow. This kid's right!"
The bottom line is Metallica as I know it isn't Metallica anymore. Metallica
as YOU know it is the same. You were 9 or 10 when TBA came out. Fine, so you
appreciate the early stuff and other teens do, too. But you haven't seen the
band change through the years. Metallica and Anthrax have grown and changed
and I still loved them. But as far as I,a long term fan, and many others care,
they have ceased growing and are only changing--and not for the better. It's
emotional as well as musical. If they started playing like U2 in 1987, I'd
have started to hate them, too...AND I LIKE U2. But Metallica has to grow as
Metallica, not as some generi-incarnation that is "hip today" (another Extreme
reference...you may want to check 'em out. They've remained true to their art
as well as being exceptional musicians.......something Metallica can't claim.)
Steve

Too many damn ystejam lists to catch up on, oh well, that's
what you get for workin in theatre (or is that theater) the
past 4 weeks.
I was listening to Fates Warning Parellel's cd and I put on
"life in still water" which is an awesome song, I was
reading the credits and it says that James is singing the
backgrounds for it. I thought cool but as I listened for
his voice, I couldn't hear a damn thing, just this, really
high pitched voice, did someone like grab him by the balls
and squeeze to hard or what? I can't even make out his
voice style.
Kevin Gilbert: That totally sucks about him, I have a
girfriend who is a big fan of his work. Apparently, he was
just about to complete a NEW album before his death and
they WILL finish this album and release it, I think by
Christmas, I can't remember.
Any Jammers in Vancouver, BC? or am I the only one?
About the megadeth solo album, I may as well say something
about that. MD45 WAS supposed to be released but one
problem, the record company will NOT release it into the
States and I guess Canada as well. It IS available in Japan
so check the imports. I can't remember what the cd is
called but if anyone wants a track by track review, I have
something that I can email to whoever wants it. Also, I
seriously doubt MD45 will be heavier than the new deth
material, I heard some new songs already, they kick ass.
Back to the Kevin GIlbert thing, since he was slated to
produce the album, the last I heard, DT had like said the
album was almost done recording, falty source? or
what...anyone give me a clue?

Excellent point, Ben. In fact, a part of the success of prog IMO is related
to the fact that prog fans feel being part of a restricted "elite", i.e.
they know that they're among a few number of fans who like x or y prog
group. Really, prog isn't THAT popular, mass-wise, I mean. I really dig FW,
for instance, but I'm also proud of liking a group no one has ever heard
of, it's a feeling of exclusiveness (is that right English?). Now, if prog
becomes mainstream, i.e. if DT (the one actually with the most potential)
becomes mainstream, I wonder how fans (incl. myself) would react. Can
people stay with the music, or decide to move on to other groups that will
give them back that lost feeling of exclusiveness?
>But, if maintaining their long-time fan's respect means restricting change
>that's bound to happen in almost any band, then is that such a good thing?
No.
When masses start digging your so cherished group, you feel robbed of
something. I just hope that masses will go towards DT and not the other way
round. Because that's selling out. I also hope that you will always like DT
because you like DT and not because you like to be different. I myself
don't know: I think there's a bit of both in me. I start a group because of
the music, of course, but get more into it TO BE DIFFERENT, somewhere. But
the music is still important. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dropped bands like
Metallica, Testament, Anthrax, Crimson Glory, etc.

ANy chance of a DT/Savatage Tour? I picked up Ghost in the
Ruins, the Criss Olivia Tribute cd, holy fucking shit this
guy can play. It's like your listening to Dave Murray,
KK.Downing, Marty Friedman, Ritchie Blackmore and Joe
Satriani all rolled up into 1 guitarist. Oh yea, did I
mention he must be like, Randy Rhoads' soul mate or
something, their styles are so similiar.
Has Savatage ever toured with DT? I know they toured with
Maiden, well, both bands have but that is the extent I
know. Has anyone got the japan live album? I'm a big
Skolnic fan, I was wondering if it was worth getting.
Is there a Savatage Mailing list? Can you Tell I am really

Load songs? Short? Scuze me, but The Sortest Song on the album is Cure, and
that's almost 4 minutes. Most songs on the album are 5-6 minutes long, and
Bleeding Me is over 8 minutes long. I think that's the longest Metallica song
out there (Other than the live version of Seek & Destroy) I hate that I keep
talking about the new 'Tallica, but it's the biggest thing in the music world
right now. I've waited 5 years for this album and I'm not gonna let the first
month of it being here go by without a few thoughts on it. As far as bands
evolving, think of how different Balance is from VH1, or Youthanasia from
Killing is My Business, or Ozzmosis from Blizzard of Ozz. But it's true,
Slayer still sounds the same as they did 10 years ago. (Not that that's a bad

Well, after living in the Dallas, TX vicinity for almost 10 years, my
company just informed me that we were going to be relocating to
Boulder, Colorado. I have to move out there in less than a month
(kinda sounds like some bad news a doctor gives you..."you have less
than a month..."). It looks like this time next month, I'll be
living in the Westminster area.
Of course, one of the first things that I did was drag out my DT tour
shirts and check the city listings. My I&W shirt didn't have a list,
but my Awake shirt showed that they played Denver on 11/22/94. Did
anyone catch this show? I'm sure that they played a relatively small
venue, and I know they kicked ass. I'd love to see them play at Red
Rocks sometime! Anyway, it was at least some consolation that I
should be able to catch them when they tour the US next year.
So, with the prospect of leaving everyone and everything I know behind
in the Lone Star state, I'm going to be looking for some people in
the Denver / Boulder area to help keep me occupied. I figured I'd
start with you Jammer's first, since we already have at least 1 strong
common bond. If any of you live in this area, I'd like to hear from
you. Actually I just have some questions like "Who's runs a good ISP
in the area?" "Where are some cool places to climb?" and most
importantly "Where can I either hang glide or paraglide in the area?".
E-mail me privately at tbaddley@airmail.net if you can help me out in
any way.

Hey all ...
First lemme say........ ITS FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK THE LORD. :)
First and foremost. The Great Southside Controversy is over, no links to Jimmy. If you have no clue of what I am talking about, ignore it :)
Second, as for harmonica players. If you wanna hear some real harmonica players, I have 2 suggestions. Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Both very excellent at the instrument.
Mike Bahr as producer. Yes yes yes. It would just rock. I have evrything that Mike has done and its definately improved as it has gone along, so I feel it would be an excellent choice.
