    Yep. Lake was an original member of Crimson. Makes you appreciate John Wetton!

    BTW, I think the old Zep tune would be "Dazed and Confused," which probably
    applies to a lot of Jammers. :)

    John Myung the most forgotten DT member??? Who would've thought? ;)
    I've always noticed how Myung can play those fast and often complicated lines
    without having the urge to suddenly break into a wild funk-slap solo. You'll
    notice that on LATM that Myung gets the most cheers after his solo in
    Metropolis. I guess everyone just wants him to bust loose like that more
    often.
       But a long while back someone posted that John M would be the 2nd hardest
    DT member to replace (2nd to JP, of course). Personally, I'd have to
    disagree. Though JM is a fantastic player, there are lots of really good
    bassists out there hiding out in lesser-known bands, or doing studio work
    with solo musicians. I suppose it's just the shy quality of many bass
    players.

    Yo, yo, yo! Hey, two posts in two weeks. Wow, have I got idle time! :D

    Anyway, I have been catching up on a few Jams and forgive me is some of
    my commentary is out of date.

    My fellow Metallica fans... Um, er, wow, for a minute there, I thought
    that I was on the Metallica list. :D

    Someone asked about the Good Times virus. Yes, the virus is just a scare.
    And as many have pointed out, the virus is actually the warning of the
    virus. As for being able to execute binary files when coded through mail,
    yes, in some mailers it is possible. Yes, they have to be encoded into
    ASCII but some mailers are able to interpret MIME and uuencoded files, so
    just be careful if your mailer does.

    Someone said that they heard "Enter Sandman" in St Louis. Now for the
    scary news. There used to be a quote that went like "When Hell freezes
    over". There was also one that floated around that went like "When PAt
    Boone sings Heavy Metal. Well, Pat Boone is going to record a metal
    album. No joke. Word has it that it is going to have Iron Maiden, Ozzy
    covers on it. I actually heard part of his "Enter Sandman" cover. Be
    afraid. Be very afraid.

    Someone mentioned about how long people have been waiting for the next DT
    album. Geez, try waiting for the next Boston album.... :D

     JRMCKENZIE here,

    I've been seeing alot about groups like SHADOW TOWER in this digest but I've
    yet to see the one thing that helps me find them, the label they record on.
    Also are there any other bands in the same genre? I've seen QUEENSRYCHE in
    concert (Blew everyone away) and liked 'em for years before that. My first
    concert was actually going to see "NANTUCKET" open in 1980 for an Australian
    group I'd never heard of at ther time , AC/DC. The tickets only cost $8
    back then. Yeah, I'm "THAT" old.

    Oh well to the point of this meandering diatribe. Can anyone recommend any
    groups in the same vien as DT also including the label[s] they have recorded
    for and do record on now? I believe I made a similar reqest in my only
    other posting to date but still I'm kinda looking for a long list, it's more
    likely that I can find something from it (the list) this way.

    That's it for this'n

    Message-ID: <199606180037.AAA16083@fraser.sfu.ca>

    Hi,

    first off, sorry for sending a message to the jam tha was supposed to
    be personal...i hate it when i don't think, and reply to a message which
    then goes to the jam :) argh!
     
    and now for the important part...for my Multimedia class i have to do a
    major project. I want to incorporate DT into it in some way.
    I already handed in an assignment featuring DT. it was an AVI movie with
    clips from the Live In Tokyo video.
    The big project has to incorporate, text, sound, video, graphics, etc.
    so i thought that it would be the perfect time to incorporate DT into something
    i have to do for school anyway...
    i would like some suggestions from you guys...that would help me out!
    i've already thought about doing a CD-ROM (we'll eventually put the projects
    onto cds) which would be "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Dream Theater"
    kind of thing.
    It would be a more indepth version of the DT Interactive thing that's on the
    net. It would include information about the band, pictures, video clips,
    sound clips, tab, etc.
    what i'd need is permission from people to use their stuff. for example i
    would like to include information on the band, so it would save me a lot of
    time if i could use the FAQ or such document that's available on the net.
    same thing for pictures that are available on people's web pages.
    I guess it would probably be best if i email the people if i'm interested
    in their stuff.
    but i'd like to see if any of you have some other ideas on a possible
    multimedia project that features DT.
    maybe this could be a new thread, which actually has some DTC :)
     
    thanks!

            Most of you have no idea who I am, but I am not new. I have some things to
    say about recent posts, though.

    >> As for Metallica "Load"... I say that anyone with a mind open
    >>enough to appreciate Dream Theater, that dismisses Load, is a hypocrite.

    >You don't need an open mind to like Dream Theater, just good taste. And my
    >good taste doesn't like Load. ;-)))

            I couldn't have said that much better myself. If an "open mind" means not
    discriminating against crap that deserves no respect, than I can't understand
    how an "open mind" would like Dream Theater, because that mind would accept
    the latest fads (Bush and those other awful bands) as much as the great band
    that this list is dedicated to. (For the record, I have not heard most of
    Load, and I will not comment on it. I was not referring to Load above.)

    >How many of you agree with me that Mr. Kizer should get himself a state job
    >if it bothers him so much?

            I disagree (as usual). Unless I misunderstand you, a state job is a job
    working for a state government. There are far, far too many government jobs
    at state and federal levels (and probably local, as well). Please find
    employment in the private sector.

    >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

            Really? I mean, just because Geddy's voice has lowered a few octaves and
    they've cut their song lengths in half ...
            No, seriously, your right, but both of these bands changed for the better and
    they still kick ass. (They're two of my personal favorites.)

    >>
    >>Hey gang,
    >>
    >> Now, I like bootlegs as much as the next guy, but does anyone
    >> else here
    >> think that stealing a to-be-released tape and spreading it around the
    >> net(re: KISS) is way over the line? If I had a 7" tongue and spat
    >> blood, I'd be PISSED OFF!

    >Like if you could get an unoffical copy of the next Dream Theater album
    >you wouldn't jump on the offer?

            I just got the new Kiss tape. If I was involved with that recording in any
    way (or any other leaked recordings), I'd be very upset. That didn't stop me
    from getting it, but I got it through trading (I didn't buy it). I'm starting
    to have more problems with bootlegs (even though I have a few), especially
    studio outtakes (concerts are more acceptable). As long as it's available
    easily, I'll get it, but I would never steal a tape like that and distribute
    it.

    Now for Dream Theater content (you're welcome)
            Am I the only person on here that thinks that "Innocence Faded" is one of the
    top two or three songs on Awake?
            Did anybody else go to the 12/29/95 show at the Birch Hill Nite Club (I was
    there, my only Dream Theater show).
            Is the Guitar Center in Boston (where John's clinic is scheduled) that place
    on Commonwealth Avenue near Boston University? (I'm going there this fall by
    the way for anyone interested. Too bad I missed this clinic.)

    more non-Dream Theater content (sorry)
    Does anyone here like Ayn Rand or Bruce Springsteen?
    Don't take any of the above personal, I made enemies on another mailing list;
    that is not my intention, I just am outspoken at times.
    Sorry about the length, but since I haven't posted very often, am I not
    entitled to a long post occasionally?

    I got an idea for a new ytsejam t-shirt... the front could be anything cool
    like the majesty symbol or sumthin'. But on the back, put "PROG'S NOT DEAD"
    as opposed to PUNK'S NOT DEAD.... howz about it? I thought about it after
    seeing a guy wearing one of those shirts, and thinking 'no shit, but I hope
    it dies soon':)... and then I thought that it would make more sense w/ prog,
    since its not too popular right now....

    BTW, I do like some punk... particularly NOFX and Pennywise...and Bad
    Religion too...

    Hey FREAKS! (Itchy, where art thou?) What was Marillions last studio
    realease? I saw a CD today (I can't remember the title), and I couldn't see
    the year anywhere... but the cover had a woman, or maybe it was an angel,
    and I remember fire. (FIRE BAD) It seemed recent because the little side
    thing on the case was see-thru. I'm curious because it;s the first Marilion
    CD I see in Panama besides Brave and the greatest hits CD.

    RUSH PHUQING RULZ!! I had forgetten that they do that:) I just bought Exit
    Stage Left and All the World's a Stage...I hadn't heard YYZ live in so long.

    And for those interested, I also bought Moving Pictures(finally got it on
    CD), Extreme's Pornografitti(same parenthetical comment), Phish's A Live One
    ($15.99 for a double CD!!! not too many Phish fans in Panama:) ) and LatM
    for $13.99 (couldn't resist).

    and out of all of those, the Phish one was the only one I hadn't heard b4.

    catch-ya latah...

    Oh and Steven, I think your discussion w/ Ben is pretty much over since he's
    like, not in the continent at the moment :)

    P.S.

    Anybody who has a mind open enough to appreciate DT, and doesn't like the
    Beatles, is a hypocrite ;) ;) ;)

    HEEEEEEEY!!! I'm seeing Ozzy on Letterman... IS THAT ROBERT TRUJILLO PLAYING
    BASS????? YES!!!!! now THAT is an awesome bass player....

    /me thinks he will buy Ozzmosis...( not because of Trujillo...I liked the song)

         Howdy everybody!!!

           Anyone else notice how quiet it gets when Me, Mojo, and D-man don't
    post? Well I am back.
           I just ran into Ken Myung, and he let me hear Raise the Knife again
    (he truly is a cool person, he got the outgoing personality in that family)
    and I must say that I can't wait to hear the finished project. I played him
    "Antiquities, and WDATU" and he thought they were cool. He laughed when he
    heard the vocalist auditions, and said he remembered when Steve Stone stayed
    at his house during his tryout. He said he would do his vocal excersises as
    soon as he woke up, really anoying he added. Also told me he has better
    sounding versions of the auditions, but John told him if he lets anyone get
    a copy, he will kill him. He said John does not mind the bootleg trade, in
    fact he is the one who lent me The dance of eternity back in 1993. If anyone
    wants to check out his web page the addres is http://www.audiovox.com

    Sinista,

    Did you steal Beyond the Black from Metal Church, or is it used in
    tribute??? :)

    Couldn't resist spouting about one of the most underrated bands in
    history. . .

    Party on,

    DJKA

    PS Does anyone have Negatron, by Voivod? Please email me, I got it but
    there is no multimedia track on the disc! Has anyone else had this problem, or is my disc just defective???
