the "what is jazz?" festival began tonight here in nyc.
jazz- i walk in, and all i see is these kids that could have fit in as extras
in the movie "kids" (grungy, skateheaded, alternatif folk), and some dj was
spinning these horrible beats for over an hour. finally, the moment came.
i saw vernon reid probably play the best i've ever seen him.
he was clean, he was on, and damnit- it sounded terrific. he had a great
band. the drummer was incredible (kinda like manu katche with the
forcefulness of mike b. from the new power generation), awesome
sax/clarinetist, awesome bassist, a dj, a trumpet/flugel guy, and this guy
called the "doctor" playing this weird thing that looked like a keyboard, and
he was making these crazy synth-like sounds.
it was a good night. and since i am tired, and it is 3 am, i go to bed now.

Hi all
since I've been on the Jam I've taken a lot of flames, most of them unjustified
and one or two deserved. While the general tenor of flames can be quite hard,
they are usually written in reasonably civilized language that makes it clear
that most (but not all) of the people on the jam are in some way fairly
civil and cultured. But today I received a reply to a private e-mail that
changed my mind. This whole thing has it's origins in a mail a few digests ago
that called all people who like the album Load "fucking idiots". First is my
mail to the originator, followed by this person's reply:
>Thanks for reminding me what a fucking idiot I am: jeez, I was beginning to get
>worried for a minute there. I seriously thought I was in danger of becoming a
>normal member of the jam, but then comes your golden contribution to the jam
>1624 and hey, I'm just a fucking idiot.

>If I can return the favour any time, just let me know
>
>
Think i give a shit.. your just a fuckin idiot... i don't want your
tasteless kind on the jam.. and if you like load you must have something
wrong wiht your head.. or the other problem, your an idiot..
-sledge
Sledge..
The Ytsejam a civilized list? I think not. I'm sorry to have to make this public
but do we really want to share what is basically still a good list with this
sort of person? It has rarely been my misfortune to have dealings with such a
bigot. Be honest: if you were drinking in a nice bar and this person came in,
using this language and being so open-minded, I think most of you would either
leave the bar or ask the management to have the person removed. Still, it's
nice to know that I'm tasteless.
stay safe and happy listening

I have to disagree: you're forgetting all of John M's technical abilities,
stage
presence, compositional contributions, longevity, and the legendary boots
(footwear, not audio). If Doc Martens can sponsor the "Smokin' Grooves"
tour, they most definitely can sponsor DT next time around. The boots are back
in town!

Out of the 30 shows I've seen, Queensryche's Toledo show for the Road to the

for Counterparts, Yes for Talk, Metallica for Justice and Roam, and Van Halen

Carnal Knowledge, Right Here, Right Now; and Balance.
I guess Peter Collins will be producing someone else instead of 'Ryche

An "open mind" liking DT doesn't necessary imply being hip to the latest trends.
The majority of 'Jammers don't care for alternative, or the "popular" types of
music now. It's both a blessing and a burden. For example, we all know how
much we like DT but when we try to convert our friends, the initial reactions
are
nothing like our own. I've also noticed that the bands that are successful
right now
are clones in one way or another of previously successful bands. Bush is
capitalizing (literally) on the Seattle scene and Flea has referred to them as
the
"Milli Vanilli" of alternative music. Silverchair is another act that sounds
uncannily
familiar to their Pearl Jam and Soundgarden influences. Finally, Oasis is just
another attempt to replicate the Beatles, among others. These groups make it
palatable for fans of groups that are already established, and want something
new.
Whereas, groups with originality and innovation (like DT) are left to fend for
themselves. That's what the market dictates, unfortunately. It's all cyclical.
Wait
until 2000, and maybe "prog" will kick off the next millenium in the right
direction.

Until another recession or depression leaves you without a job and mouths to

Talk to Feyd about Rand. Bruce is okay, but Max Weinberg is the man! One
of the reasons why I watch "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" every night. The
Max Weinberg 7 always look like they're having fun while playing, and that's
something I'd like to emulate.

Actually, I'd prefer any shirt bearing DT's likeness to have positive
denotations, as
well as connotations. Prog isn't about dying, it's about growing musically as
well
as physically.

well i can't say about top three or even two, but "innocence faded"
is definitely a very good piece of music. i never quite realized why
people who praise "voices", "scarred" and "metropolis" very often
dismiss those songs that are a bit shorter and at first sight a lot
lighter.
right on.

I dont know where you went to school but last I checked, Sarayevo (Sp)
was in the same hemisphere as we are. That means if it is winter here it
is winter there.
I know I may be opening a can of worms here, but did any jammers pick up the
new Def Leppard cd Slang? Apparently in USENET it has received the same
attention as LOAD. You either hate it or like it. DL like Metallica took
a new approach. I think DL changed more. LOAD to me is just TBA part 2.
I like Slang too, much better than Adrenalize.

AHHHHHH!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! SAY IT ISN'T SO!!!!!!!! It
was me that mentioned hearing "Enter Sandman" on the alterna-station in
St. Louis. You know. That's kind of funny about Pat Boone, because I
just saw a short clip of Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa doing part of a Sabbath
tune (not sure which one) with (no joke here kids) John Tesh on Conan
O'Brien last night. I must say that it was one of the most hilarious
things I've seen on the show (ranks up there with the Hendrix-esque
version of the theme from 'Friends' Conan played once on his show). I
would say about the Boone thing that this is an example of change that
is not good (to understate it). It should be kind of funny, though.
We'll wait and see. Yeah, I could see him doing "Number of the Beast"
(cringe). Later.

First, about Innocence Faded as one of the top 2 or 3 songs on Awake---I
couldn't agree more. I rememeber when I got an advance copy before
release date, my first reaction to that song was "Oh, here's the Bon
Jovi-ish song for the album, but as I listened, the better it got. I
think it's a fantastic all-around piece of music...sealed up with that
nifty little guitar outro....whoo!
Def Leppard's Slang....I like it! I've been a fan of DL since High N Dry,
and I have all their albums to date, even though I despise some of them.
But Slang is unlike anything they've ever done before. It is so 90's
sounding, without incorporating the gloom and dispair of most bands out
there. Lots of production went into this album, and I would totally
recommend it to any current or ex- DL fan just so you can hear how they've
changed.

OK, Kiddies!
Bigman is making some good headway on the tishirts. I don't have his email in
from of me so I can't tell you to get in touch with him. I'll resend it next
week for those who don't have it.
ANYWAY! The Mytse-Con will be held the weekend of July 26-27-28 (Fri., Sat.,
Sun.) Right now, we are gonna hold it at Chicago Draft House (details coming)
because hotel meeting rooms are too expensive, non existent or a lot lesscomfy
that a cool Lincoln Park bar. I'm in negotiations with the owners regarding
private space, drinks, food, etc. It is in close porximity to many music
venues, it's in the heart of young Chicago, cabs are plentiful and it's a walk
from the hotel.
SPEAKING OF WHICH.....I reserved a block of 15 hotel rooms (based on response
far) at the Days Inn on Diversey (a place many music acts stay when doing
Chicago shows). Here's the skinny:
COST: $84/night for 2 double beds (4 people per room=$21/night...not bad,
especially if you sneak one or two more into the room to make it cheaper)
PARKING: is at a mall garage .5 blocks away...$7/24 hrs.
The rooms are under the name of Steve Johnson. You must call and reserve on
your own (so I don't get stuck with rooms) and reserve with a credit card.
*****************************************************************************
ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!!
*****************************************************************************
You must reserve before July 12!!! They need two weeks notice. ALSO! You
may concel up to 4 P.M. day of arrival.
Hotel stats: 646 W. Diversey, (312) 525-7010...ask for the G.M., "Kat"
As for sights, the hotel is 1 mile south of Wrigley Field and 3 miles
north of the Magnificent Mile. A quality position. It is also only a
10-15 minute walk from the bar/potential Con location. NO NEED TO DRIVE!
So start discussing with each other/friends as to who's going. PLEASE send
me a note when you have a positive number from your group!!! I want to
keep track for the Con site and if I need to snag more rooms! I think every-
one's got a list of e-mail addresses for those interested. I'm gonna post
this info to the Jam, too, to see if there are others interested.
As we all can guess, this will most likely be sans DT as they're backed
up with recording, etc. But we're still trying. I think it'll be a cool
weekend meeting Jammers and doing some partying in Chicago especially
for those who don't get here much/at all. LATER-
Steve
