Hi all!!
happy summertime!!!
Hey Babs-yes I know where the finger lakes are-My husband hails from
that area of the country (I'm working convincing him to take me there
some fall:)
I find it interesting that since i just managed to acquire a copy of
KC's "In the Court of the Crimson King", the threds have gone to
them.Thanks for the post on their lineup as of now-But one question: am
I assuming correctly that the Greg Lake mentioned In the liner notes is
the same as Greg Lake of ELP? If so-cool!!
Keep rockin'!

1. I am sure that the "Good Times" virus is a hoax. It looks like somone
increased the damage that it does. There's been a lot of the good
times warnings sent around and also a lot of messages saying it is a
hoax. Email messages are strictly ascii and
unless you convert it to binary and execute it, you don't have to worry
about it. If it is an attachment you can even save the attachment to file
but if you dont execute it you are fine.
Can any email gurus back this up?
If you check every binary file for viruses, you receive in the mail before
you execute it, you will be fine.
2. Buying cds from cd clubs. I used to be a member of BMG, Columbia
House, and CD HQ. They had these great deals of 10-12 cds for the price
of 1. It eventually works out to about $4 for a brand new cd. I usually
use the clubs to upgrade to cd from tapes that I have or to finish out my
collection for certain groups like Rush for example. Or I might buy a cd
that I wouldn't want to pay full price for. I usually buy new releases
the day they come out (if I can find them). Columbia House and CD HQ are
teh best and most reliable. The only gripe with them is that they are
alwasy out of cds that I want. BMG is pretty messed up. I guess I will
get banned by them...
I haven't seen any of the Columbia House 10 for 1 deals lately, just the
10 for 6. Just wait until the 10 for one deal is doen again or take your
chances with BMG.
3. I guess it is not good for DT to produce their own album DT has so
many talented musicians and each would want their parts intensified, etc.
But with a band like Van Halen for example, I am sure Eddie has a mega
say in what is done, since it really is his band.

Define "good", please.
I mean the bottomline could just as well be

I happen to like some music that isn't metal. Automatically saying that it
stinks because it's not metal is close-mindedness. Metallica isn't LYING to
anybody....they don't go around yelling that their music is metal. But, IMO,
the newer stuff IS metal. Just a different kind.
Is it any wonder Jason

Jason hasn't been in the band as long...he wasn't there for the super-thrash
days. Maybe he hasn't gotten enough of that. But, possibly the other guys
have, hence the change in musical direction.
> A band can keep their oldest fans without selling out.
Wait...selling out doesn't help you keep old fans at all.
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

Change has to happen sometime, you know. Not all changes are gradual. One
day, a man is carefree and never wears a seatbelt....then he sees a car
accident and somebody flying through the windshield. From that moment on he
wears a seatbelt.
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.
Why would you have to watch somebody their whole lives to notice
change? If I saw a picture of my next door neighbor from ten years ago and
he had different color hair, I'd still be able to notice.
The fact is that Metallica changed musical directions, and that
direction happened to be one that you don't care for. It's as SIMPLE as THAT.

I wasn't accusing anybody of that. I took an example of something
that could happen (happened to me) and gave it to you to see if it maybe
happened to you too...I didn't say you did that.
>The bottom line is Metallica as I know it isn't Metallica anymore.
Metallica as you LIKE it isn't Metallica anymore.
Metallica

No they're not.
You were 9 or 10 when TBA came out. Fine, so you

Yes, I have. I am CAPABLE of DETECTING CHANGE in a band even if didn't see
it when it happened. It's just that I like the change they made in
themselves, and you didn't.
>But as far as I,a long term fan, and many others care,

Better for who? You.
>If they started playing like U2 in 1987, I'd
>have started to hate them, too...AND I LIKE U2.
I like you too. Man there's a lot of love in this room. :-)
But seriously, folks, if Metallica started playing just like they did on
Puppets, that would get repetitive. Like I've said many a time, repetitive
is boring (to me).

AAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There ARE NO RULES IN MUSIC. You DO NOT
have to STAY TRUE TO THE FIRST TYPE OF MUSIC YOU PLAYED. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO
CHANGE. ACCEPT IT. All Metallica has done is changed. It's not their fault
that people like them now.

I'll have to agree with you on that one, bro. That's why you don't see many
inexperienced bands produce their own material. Most bands were at one time
or another members of some garage or basement band that had to write and
perform their own music without help from a professional. Once they've
worked with a good producer for a few albums, the band has usually achieved a
higher level of musicianship, worthy of criticizing and producing their own
music. What an inexperienced band has to realize is that they can't stick
with the same sound forever. They have to IMPROVE. Whether this means
gaining more skill on their particular instrument or just trying out
different methods of producing (i.e. glitzy over-producing, raw energy feel,
live feel) is up to them.
DT is a really good example of changing styles over a few albums. WDADU
was a great album for its era, but the band had to *progress* with the times.
Over the years, DT has experimented with different producers and styles, so
one can only guess as to who or what they'll try this time around.
As for self-producing, I believe that DT is capable of entirely producing
their next album. But if they want to wait for a while or, as Scott said,
avoid bad press, that's fine with me.

sure, but the critics blasted those unorthodox recording methods. But then
again, they managed to pioneer an industry and develop a huge following that
way.

right. I can just picture Patton and the guys listening to the sound effects
of some guy taking a monster shit from their first album and saying,
"You know, this isn't weird enough. What we need is an album made up
entirely of digital playback and sound effects, and almost no real
instruments whatsoever. Yeah, that's what we're looking for."
OK, I'm done now.

Hey all...
Long post here...covering a variety of topics. In case you're inclined to
skip 'n' skim through posts...here's the summary/table of contents...
1. JP video...found a nice price
2. Ytsejam's role in release of ACOS
3. JM gets funky
* * *
JP:
^^
I just was at work and I saw a catalog for Florida's Thoroughbred Music in
the recycling. So...I was checking s*&% out and I found the JP video
"Rock Discipline" for...what...I think $34.95. $5.00 shipping for those
of you east of the Mississippi river and $7.00 for us poor suckers in the
West. So...there you have it. Not the $50 I've seen elsewhere. What did
I do...I called the toll free number and ordered me one. First Card will
be very happy. Sure...I only saved about $8, but hey...that's a third of
a Mike Bahr CD. :) It's half of LiT, which you ought to get if you don't
have it, BTW. Man...I love his solo bit. "Ladies and gentlemen...Mr.
John Petrucci..." BTW that is "Barf Bag" right?
* * *
Oops:
Something weird just happened. I'm using a new version of Pine, and I
think I might have sent part of this message already--even though all I
meant to do was to postpone it. Actually...now that i think about
it...that probably didn't happen. Sorry if it did.
* * *
ACOS:
^^^^
Okay...I'm a newbie, but I was wondering if one of you ytse-veterans could
let me know what was the ytsejam's role in the release of ACOS. I'm kind
of curious. I just checked the FAQ, and either I missed it or it's not in
there. Did you all do a "Trekkie" and write DT and East/West 5 billion
times to get ACOS released? (Not that I'm busting on you Trekkies...or is
the PC term "Trekker"? :) I heavily dig ST from TOS, TNG, DS9...Still
waiting for ST:V to come around, though.) I've written A&M to support
Extreme and Nuno.
So as I understand it...ACOS was performed a couple of times, and y'all
must have heard about it from some lucky jammer(s) who saw the show(s).
Then...I imagine some people must have said "What is this ACOS thing?!?
When will they release it? Has Mike Bahr recorded/got his hands on it?!?"
So I imagine y'all clamored for it, and it came out. How'd it happen,
folks? Thanks in advance. Sorry for being so ignorant...
* * *
JM gets funky:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lastly, we all know Myung rocks, but does anyone out there thing that
JM is especially cool in Scarred? Damn he's good!!!!!!
