why don't you get lost Dave. do you mean to tell me that if someone
approached you on the street to ask you an innocent question, you'd laugh
in his face if he lacked a good grasp of the english language? i'd
certainly hope not. you can be real asshole at times.

Having made my initial foray here, I figured I'd take a second shot,
replying to those people who replied to what I said. Plus some other
assorted fun:
My feeling about John Myung is that, like most of us who play bass, he's
tremendously overlooked. But he certainly goes above and beyond rooted
movement and doubling guitar lines in virtually every tune. "Metropolis" is
an obvious example. "Learning To Live" is a study in interactive bass
lines, and he flashes a little in the namesake of this list. He's not a
traditional bass player, by any stretch. But the comment about
replacability has more to do with finding someone else who can fill the same
role....I don't think there are a lot of players out there who are a
technical match for him. Certainly not many who would play the same sorts
of locked, aggressive lines when appropriate ("Lie," "Pull Me Under").
Certainly in a band where writing credits are passed around as in Dream
Theater, no one is truly impossible to replace (witness Kevin Moore), but
Myung is certainly as unique a voice as anyone else in the band... in a band
of very unique voices.
Commenting on Metallica and Maiden with reference to a notion of
"progressive." I've had this argument on alt.music.progressive, arguing that
Rush even belongs in that conversation. I'll tell you, there's a healthy
group of people for whom a discussion of bands that aren't IQ or National
Health or Grobschnitt is unpalatable, because they aren't "really"
progressive. Yes is often accepted by those people...along with maybe
Marillion and a couple of other higher profile bands. But a discussion of
Rush or King's X or...yes, Dream Theater, is something a lot of folks think
is ridiculous with respect to progressivity. On the other hand, I see a LOT
of music as progressive. Progressive, to me, refers to a willingness to try
new things and mesh new ideas -- and this group include Sting, Last Exit,
Brand X, Iron Maiden, and, yes, Metallica. Certainly "Ride The Lightning"
and "Master of Puppets" were central in bringing this new notion of heavy
music to the fore (along with bands like Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, Exodus,
and Testament). That, combined with some skilled playing, places Metallica
firmly into the "progressive" camp in my mind. That having been said, I
don't see the new album as being too much of a departure from that. They've
certainly not fallen into boring arrangements or anything like that. The
reviled pedal steel on the new album is NEW. It's removed from the scope of
traditional metal. And like many of the great bands in the history of
progressive music -- Yes, Genesis, Floyd, Rush, Marillion -- they probably
ARE a little more accessible than they were. I don't see that as evidence,
though, that they've "sold out." If you sell millions of albums and change
your sound, how is that selling out?

look, dude, i realize that you get a huge kick out of trying to
piss people off, but if you have to do it, AT LEAST include something
in the post that is even SLIGHTLY relevant to the list. shit like
this is nothing but a huge waste of bandwidth.
as for the stupidity of your post, i'm going to comment on it.
look at what happened last time. besides, it's stupidity is pretty
apparent anyway.
don't waste everybody else's time with shit like that. post it if you
want, but at least keep it vaguely relevant. jeez.

you know, this is probably pointless writing this, but is this really
necessary? did you ever stop to think that there just *might* be gay people
on the list that would take offense to this? perhaps you meant this in
good humour and didn't really stop to think about it, or perhaps you did.
on to other things.... has anyone heard any word on Enchant's new album? i
heard it was due out this fall. how about Braindance? do they have a new
cd coming out anytime soon?
thanks in advance.

Subject: What the hell does "Selling Out" mean?
Message-ID: <1996Jun19.151100.1116.125378@GNK-NTE.GLOBALINK.COM>
With all this talk about Metallica "Selling Out", I've been doing a lot of
thinking. It seems like when someone claims that a band has "Sold Out", it
usually is because they are dissatisfied with what they are hearing from the
band. Just because a band has changed their sound does not mean that the
band has sold out.
What I think "sold out" means is that the band has lost their integrety and
they make albums for the sole purpose of making money. A good example of a
sellout album would be VH's "Diver Down". The record company wanted more
covers made by the band and that's what they got. A group like Milli
Vanilli can't sell out because they don't have any musical integrety in the
first place. Rush isn't a sell out because they do not sell huge amount of
albums.
Which brings me back to the original question: Is Metallica selling out?
Let us examine this. The band has produced an album which is very
different from what they have done in the past. This pisses off a lot of
the long time fans who start crying about a "sell out". The problem with
that argument is that if the band wanted to sell out, why would the band
dramatially change its sound so that it would piss off their die hard fans?
It would not make any sense. Rather, I make the statement that the band
wishes to change direction and there is enough agreement in the band to make
it work. If the band really wanted to sell out, they would of made a
"Master of Puppets II" which probably wouldn't be as good as the original.
The band would eventually become stale and only the die hards would still
like them.
Change is a part of the industry. If you don't change in some way, you will
be left behind. Just be careful that you don't become the next Bee Gees.

Is there anyone else here who really appreciates that Dream Theater are
such nice, down-to-earth guys? I mean, I really love Rush, but I have
always gotten the impression that they're a bit arrogant.
I remember following the a.m.r newsgroup a few years ago, and I
checked out a few archived issues of TNMS to see what it was
like, and I remember reading a very early one where somebody mentioned
the Rush internet mailing list to Neil, and he basically said those
people needed to get a life. I'm glad that DT appreciates us
'jammers (or if they don't appreciate us, at least they tolerate us
and are nice to us =).
While I certainly agree with those that think the music is far more
important than the band's attitude (I saw someone post a similar complaint
of the band's arrogance, particularly Neil's, on a.m.r once, and they
pounced all over him), it really makes me appreciate how fan-friendly
DT is.
Anyway, here's hoping that tribute CD sees the light of day.

On to another topic:
So I was curious, what does everyone think of the new Metallica CD?
<covers head and ducks, running for cover while slipping on

(I'm really sorry, it's been a terribly long week and it's not
even halfway over yet...just had to have a little fun =).
Happy jamming!

Hey Dick (short for Richard), It is a good thing I already got Scenes else I would be really pissed off. Everyone else who got this cd has not said what the song really is. So what made you go and spoil it for all those who haven't gotten Scenes yet?

Oh, did someone say DTC? Sorry, I had a LOAD of wax in my ears and didn't hear you the first time! :)
I must say I was rather impressed with Mr. Petrucci. He has a lot of respect for the art form and hasn't let success over-inflate the ego. I strongly recommend to anyone who has never seen him do a clinic that if he comes to your area: GO!!!! Nothing like a free concert to make the day...It was good to meet some fellow ytse-smokers, too :) You know who you are!
Does anyone who was there know if the last tune he blew our minds with is material that will be on the next release? I liked the sound a lot. Some very progressive stuff in there.

Hey Mike, I hope because you've slipped into the negative category that this doesn't mean you'll go under. I think you give us something to stay on line for during slack times like this. I sent you my check Friday-now you can afford that surgery-whoops wrong list. Everyone, send Mike your money even if you don't want anything. There that makes a lot of sense. Kind of like when I went to Wendover (Bendover) Nev and lost all my money. Next time I'll just send the check and stay home. But I digress... I saw that BMG added GC Machine Fish to their list. I've never heard anything by them. I ordered it solely from recommends from you, fellow jammers so IT BETTER BE GOOD or you'll all owe me half of your bank accounts-those of you who have one.

Three posts in one day! New world's record for me-maybe I'll get a coveted EOJ for this. Anyway, since the surprise for Oliver's Twist has been given away, I have a question. Who is and what does 'Oliver' have to do with Hamlet? I have asked the resident Shakespeare guru about this and no Oliver comes to mind. Oliver Twist by Dickens has nothing to do with Hamlet or Shakespeare so I am confused as to how and why DT named the instrumental version of PMU this. Anybody got any ideas? Sorry for NMC NOT!!!

Is that a long term impression, or based on their attitude towards the tribute? If it's the latter, I don't see that as arrogant. Maybe they've heard the material and don't think it's up to snuff. Or they think that these bands or Magna Carta are trying to cash in on the Rush name without their input. I don't know, I just wanna give Neil/Ged/Alex the benefit of the doubt.
