    I just bought Holidays in Eden and thought it was an OK CD. I'd like
    to know what other ones would be good to pick up by Marillion. And
    other than Echolyn (still haven't found Ivanhoe) what other good
    discs would someone recommend. I know Matt Rosin has only told me
    a bunch of his favs, but I'd like more input (no offense Matt :))

    no, because its not a matter of "Legal" we're talking about, nobody
    cares if its legal or not ;) he said dont dub commercial CDs because its
    not profitting the band. since there isnt any profit for the band in
    bootlegs then we're not hurting them. tu comprendo? its the bands we
    care about, not the laws. dont make me call las vacas on tu assholio.

    I don't know that I agree with this at all... I myself started
    listening to VH in the Sammy days, as well as most of my friends who
    listen to VH. Many of those are also DT fans. Also, keep in mind
    that one of the things at a VH concert that always draws alot of
    attention is Eddie's guitar solo, where Eddie demonstrates why he is
    one of the guitar kings... I think that people recognize his skill,
    much as they would at least recognize DT's skills.

    Another thing is, when I was still on the VH mailing list (before it
    became even worse then how Ytsejam had been a few months ago), there
    were a decent number of people that seemed to like, or at least
    respect DT... while I know that DT would not be as appreciated as we
    would like them to be, they would at least recieve, IMO, a better
    reception than most opening acts that I have seen at a VH concert...

    Oh, BTW, I started listining to VH as a Sammy fan, but still do like
    DLR material. I do, however, like Sammy's material better... More
    serious lyrics, tighter musicianship, and better live performances...
    when I go to a concert, I go to see music being performed, not some
    side-show drunken stupor that used to be a DLR VH show... on most of
    the DLR VH boots that I have, there are hardly any lyrics b/c DLR was
    too trashed to sing... thats not what I want when I pay $35/ticket.

    nobody said that about james.

    >I prefer Pavarotti, for his seemingly effortless production. To those >unfamiliar with the technique of singing

    i'm a singer myself and am very aware of what it takes to sing. it's not a matter of disliking technical playing. petrucci plays with great emotion, yet is incredibly technical. the main point here is that techinallity does NOt preclude emotion, but it CAN, at times, give the sound a kind of mechanical coldness that makes it seem less emotion. my main point was that this phenomena often comes about in james' singing. not that he's any less emotional, but that it can be clouded. that's not trying to knock technical playing - that's just reality. as i said, there are lots of technical singers who sing with such emotion that it can bring tears to your eyes, such as geoff tate. it depends on the singer. singling out james and kevin is in no way an attempt to make a blanket statement about ALL singers - you can't draw any conclusions about that.

    no, this wasn't a flame . . .

    Just do what the Mystical Crackhead Groove Thingie and I do - make mix tapes of a bunch of different bands. While not copying whole albums, you're giving your friends a taste for them. If I like the stuff Crackmeister puts together for me, I'll go buy a few albums.

    I thought they'd turn me away, too. But their choice of instruments, their melodies and stuff... it's addictive. It's good stuff the likes of which I haven't heard in quite a while. Sort of REM in church.

    Yo Jammers!

    As many of you know I went to the KISS show in Detroit Fri. I'm horrible at reviews but the guy I went with just graduated with a degree in Journalism, and I agree with him on the performance, so I'm just posting his review. If you don't like the NDTC, then just move on and get over it.

    ************************************************************************ "This song is from Alive II, and Dressed to Kill" Paul Stanley - Detroit June 28, 1996 ************************************************************************

    Well, it's the day after and I will post my review of the Detroit Kiss show. First of all, I did not see Sponge, nor did I care to, and only saw a bit of AIC because we were hanging out in the Tiger Plaza and didn't hear them playing, and subsequently didn't think they were on, but they sounded like the record, so take that for what it's worth.

    THE MERCHANDISE Kiss knew the fans coming to these shows were clueless 40 somethings with high paying jobs that money was no object to. They were priced to rape. $25 for regular T-shirts, $30 for the special Tiger stadium shirts, $45 for the all over print, $28 for the 3/4 sleeve jersey, $20 for the tourbook (which is VERY nice, embossed cover and all), $12 for the Metal Edge Special, and $15 for the poster. The poster, as well as some of the shirts had the Destroyer era picture of Kiss standing on top of the world, and said Kiss Alive/WorldWide, I was there and was pretty cool. They had T-Shirts with the faces from the YWTBYGTB cover as well as the "flame" shot from the Intrepid Press kit, overall it was pretty cool.

    THE SHOW Kiss went on about 10:20 p.m. with a helicopter flying overhead shining a light on the banner from the 95 Japan/Australia tour and then the deep voice "You Wanted the Best!" came on and the band opened with Deuce. The set list was the same as the one posted by Kiss Otaku except they did NOT play She, Nothin To Lose, Parasite, or I Stole Your Love.

    [if you want a copy of the set list email me <skooc@ix.netcom.com> ]

    It was a 22-song, 2 hour and ten minute show. Vocally, the band was great, probably better than it ever was in the 70s, especially Peter. After 20 years though, Ace STILL doesn't know how to sing into the microphone.

    Gene played a Punisher Bass, while Paul had a new Ibanez Iceman (Glitter-silver front), and Ace had a new Les Paul. The smoke bomb in Ace's guitar was slow to start and a roadie had to light the smoke bomb. Ace did part of Beethoven's fifth in his solo and included his cheesy "who fuckin rules?" line in the middle. Gene STILL needs a teleprompter, and Paul needs to remember the albums better. Gene's flying went off without a hitch, but I was on the far right and they didn't have the screen on when he spit blood, so I really couldn't see it. Also, some of the "bombs" sounded like tapes, because you couldn't see anything blow up when you heard the explosion.

    The new logo is cool, it looks like the Alive II logo filled with lightbulbs like the Alive logo. There were also hydraulic cranes that brought Gene, Ace, and Paul over the crowd, and, of course, Peter's drum riser.

    My main problem with the show was the sloppiness. I didn't expect perfection because it was the first show, but Peter DEFINITELY needs to work on his timing, and his drumming in general was pretty tame. I could have played the solo he did, and the middle section of 100,000 years had NO cowbell and was pretty much a dada dada beat throughout.

    The worst was that at the end of Deuce, he blew the part when he was supposed to come back in after the intro is played again, and he blew the opening to Detroit Rock City, causing Paul to give him a VERY dirty look. It could have been nerves, but if he's like that in six weeks when I see them again, there's no excuse. His timing was of on a few other songs too, but not all. Peter's vocals, however, were great.

    HIGH POINTS Let me Go Rock N Roll, 100,000 Years (except for the middle), Deuce (except for the end), Gene singing the You Drive us wild we'll drive you crazy parts like the record instead of using the pause. Paul's voice was the best I've ever heard it, and Ace's singing was pretty good, especially on 2000 Man. The fireworks show at the end was cool.

    Low Points Peter's drumming. The overall sloppiness of the show, Ace's new Les Paul, and the crowd - CLUELESS.

    GRADES Paul A Gene A- Still stuck between Revenge and Demon mode Ace B+ Played better than I've seen him in a while Peter C, ONLY because of his vocals.

    OVERALL B+ I was pretty happy with the show and expect it to get better, but if Eric Singer saw the show, he'd probably be hurt because he's 100,000 times the drummer Peter is.

    Just my monthly request for submissions... for those of you who don't know, I publish a Dream Theater/prog/power metal fanzine, which is well into its second year and has the sanction of the band... they all get copies, too. :) Published four times a year, a buck and a quarter per issue - and I prefer it to be a forum where other DT fans besides myself can express themselves. CD reviews, live reviews, anything you care to write will be welcome, within reason. Got a really cool-but-obscure prog metal CD? Write about it. Been to a great concert recently? Were you at one of John and/or Mike's clinics? Were you at any of the Christmas shows (with the exception of Birch Hill)? Write about it! There's lots out there about which to write - and you don't have to write like Jung, either. If you're not so hot on spelling, grammar, and whatnot - well, that's why I'm an editor. ;)

    Seriously, I would like to see more participation from the DT community. Lots more. The band reads it, after all - good enough incentive? :D

    Wow...someone mention Camel on the Jam, anyone else heard them? I, too, heard Camel off of a dub, then bought the album.

    Anyone heard of Ashley MacIsaac? He's a celtic/fusion fiddle player. His songs all have a traditional celtic fiddle style but thr rhythms range from light-industrial to R&B. Very cool!

    I wouldn't be surprised if JM was one of those silent but deadly types. A sort of, Hannibal Lector in white gloves. :) He probaly has the body of the guy from Blind Melon in his root cellar. ;) (I know it's tasteless, but it seemed like the thing to do at the time) [Fire retardant suit mode ON] Of course, with Mike in the band to do public relations, John doesn't get to do much talking anyway. By the way, if any Jammers in the Toronto area are planning on attending the CON, let me know. I would like to attend, but don't want to be the only one capable of drinking Canadian beer at this thing. ;)

    Before I go I have one little subject to bring up. I having been noticing most of you jammers think anyone who is in their teens listens to what the majority of the jam thinks is crap(i.e. green day, oasis, etc.). Well, I have to disagree. A couple of jams ago someone wrote about turning his brother's friend into a prog person(is there a word for that?). This is how most people around my age react when I play DT for them. It's not they're fault that MTV and the radio plays other stuff. It just disturbs me when some writes in about how they think young kids can't catch on to prog stuff. About jam ago(for me at least), someone wrote in about how if DT opened for VH young kids wouldn't catch on to DT. Well maybe you're right. Maybe ALL the young kids at the concert would just sit there and start drooling(from boredom not because they were in awe of DT :)). I can't say or even guess if the young kids would like or catch to what DT was doing at first. This is because most people can't just say "WOW, they awesome!" just from one perfromance. But I think a majority of young kids would buy a DT ablum just because they opened for VH. Now it must be said that people(no matter what age) must be given time to fully take in a band. This is what would help DT out big time. Once you have given the VH fans time to take in DT it WOULD build up DT's fan base! And maybe DT would be palye on MTV and the radio! Sorry this was so long be it needed to be said. One last thing THIS IS NOT A FLAME!
