I have seen a few posts where people have stated that after taking
almost five years to make a new album....etc. The album actually only
took a year. The reason is because Metallica was in a HUGE court battle
with Elektra over ownership of their songs. While the lawsuit was in
litigation they weren't allowed to write anymore material or else that
would've just complicated the issue over ownership.
The lawsuit was finally resolved in early 1995. It was THEN taht
Metallica were allowed to start writing for the new album. So while it
may have been four + years by the calendar, it was actually about 1 1/2
years from the time they actually started writing for the album and
when it was released.
If you think that's a long time, think how long it's been since DT has
put out a FULL length CD and how long it'll be before we get to hear
it.

I'm reposting this because I feel like it.
I know several of you have samples of your music or your band's on your web
pages. So I'm going make a page that has links to Jammer's web pages w/
music samples. So, if you have samples of your own music on your web page,
e-mail me at elliott@fxn.com and tell me the URL of the page that your music
samples are on.
The actual homepage is up now at http://www.fxn.com/users/e/elliott
A LOT of it is still under construction, and not all the links are enabled yet.
But it's up there...

You don't need an open mind to like Dream Theater, just good taste. And my
good taste doesn't like Load. ;-)))
Anyway, I'd rather say that I'm a hypocrite than continue talking about Load.
What about some news from Dream Theater? I guess they are still (again...)
searching for a producer, right?

*** Reply to note of 06/14/96 22:27 Ben, I just read your response to my post on Metallica and change. I don't have the computer capability to cut and paste to disect the discussion as you do, but I'll say I really think you missed my point completely. If you want to e-mail me privately, please do. But this ends the discussion from my end on the jam. Thanks!

Hello everyone, it's BABS. I feel the need to defend myself since my dear, sweet close friend had to attack my "State Worker Lifestyle". Let me introduce Mr. Kizer to you all, he works as a computer programmer. He is severely jealous/envious of my work day. What do you expect, the dude's gotta write computer programs and debug things all of this while listening through headphones of select groups as Dream Theater, Soundgarden, Mike Bahr's creations, etc. (my how he suffers!). Now as for me, I work as a secretary for two really cool women. Our policy in the office is "get your work done and you can spend the rest of the day doing whatever you want in the office." So I choose to mess w/ the internet, read my 'jams and write many of you. Now isn't that alot better than my sitting on my bahunkass, filing my nails or clipping coupons. Come on now!!!!
How many of you agree with me that Mr. Kizer should get himself a state job if it bothers him so much?
Also, what computer are you reading your 'jam from Mike? Hmm, let me guess? I bet that you are sitting right there at your work desk, eating a sandwhich while trying to embarrass me on the 'jam. You should know by now that I'm not the type to be easily shamed ;P

Wow, what a really intelligent post. You convinved me, Load sucks...
No, seriously where do you get off saying people are idiots just because they like something that you do not?
And for the record, LOAD rules... Load is metal. So what if they changed every band except for AC/DC cahnges over time.
Examples: Van Halen with Balance sounds nothing like VH1 (if the singers were the same it would still not sound the same)
Rush obviously has changed since the album Rush
Fates Warning has changed.
Look at Dokken, their last album is really diffrent than anything they had done before.
Bands change. Sow what? They can put out whatever they want to. If you dont like it then dont buy it and dont go to the shows so the real fans can enjoy it.

Hi all
various bits and pieces as usual, some old stuff, some new stuff.
1. This is for the Ytse-Dypsomaniacs. Ever tried a drink called Black Velvet (would be a good title for a Dream Theater song)? Guiness and champagne 50/50. Tastes great, especially ice cold in the summer, and has a kick like a mule. If anyone manages more than 3 liters (approx. 5 pints) let me know.
2. I just heard about some new band called Metallica. Can anybody tell me anything about them? I hear that the new (first?) album is called "And Sellouts For All" or "Master Of Fuckups" or something similar. Just waiting for a load of information. (The gullibilty trap has been loaded...)
3. I asked this one on the Pantera list (Mouth4War) but got no answer, so I'll try again here: does anybody know if Mike Portnoy (or anybody else from Dream Theater for that matter) ever played with Pantera or any of the members of Pantera? Assuming Pantera don't like Nine Inch Nails, they could have called the last album The Great Southern Trent-Kill.
4. Whatever happen to nostalgia - it just isn't what it used to be.
5. Does anybody know anything about when Tiamat are going to be releasing anything new? Do they have a mailing list?
6. Did Greg Finger Lake used to play for King Crimson, or am I getting old and confused (old Led Zep song possibly) again?
7. Damon Hill rules.
Until next time.
stay safe and happy listening Neil Gallop (nga@software-ag.de)

Like if you could get an unoffical copy of the next Dream Theater album you wouldn't jump on the offer?
Most people who get this unofficial copy of the KISS album _WILL_ buy the official release when it comes out.
I didn't see any complaints when people were buying "For Promotional Use Only-Not For Resale" copies of ACOS before it was officially released.
KISS is a highly collected and traded group. It is their own fault to say that the new album is done but will not be released for over 2 years because the original lineup wants to tour for however long. Who's to say in this case that the album will ever be released? KISS will probably make so much money on this tour that the original members will stay together and release their own albums.

Hello all,
After reading the regular recommendations of Savatage on the 'Jam, I finally bought 'A Handful of Rain'.
The first track - 'Taunting Cobras', brought on a horrible sinking feeling as it has a kind of 'Spinal Tap' likeness to it (I had the same experience with Iron Maiden's 'Moonchild' on their 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' album, which is otherwise brilliant). Maybe I'll get used to it :)
But after that, the rest of the tracks are really outstanding. They've got a real hard metal-edge to thier sound and still carry great melodies. I suppose the nearest comparison I can make is FW crossed with Dio - is that fair?
Anyway, I'm off to get the rest of their stuff. Thanks jammers :)

*** Reply to note of 06/17/96 02:09 WilD KOBA!!!!! Where'd you hear that Petrucci did Coltrane's "Giant Steps"?!? !?! Is this true?!?! That'd would be the bomb! (BTW, Coltrane SUPPOSEDLY tweaked that song's melody from a tune form the 40s -?- Appearantly he was soooo infatuated with a certain song he wrote a whole 'nother tune around it). See, Jack T.? Musicians can be extremely broad based without losing focus on what they're all about. Coltrane, Extreme, DT........... :P LATER

Hey all!
I finally got my e-mail account back, so I'm no longer lurking. I missed you all.First, I saw Mike Portnoy 2 weekends ago at a clinic in MA. He said "hey" to everyone and said the new one won't be out until Feb. That's probably old news by now. Secondly, Bafu, there's something you've been waiting for on the way:)
Later guys.

NEVER EVER start your new job the morning after your graduation ball.
Five hours' sleep, a 10-megaton hangover and a delayed train journey do not make a good impression on your first day ;-)
But it was worth it, because we all looked "beautiful" last night, in our suits and dresses (which did I wear again?), according to a rich American tourist :-)
