    OK, It seems to me that I caused a bit of confusion on IRC saturday night,
    (and Rip is the confused one HAHAHAHA! Just kidding, Rip).
    Metallica did NOT shave their heads. That would've been cooler than what they
    did do. They all went out and got these dorky-assed short haircuts, almost
    like crew cuts :( (BTW if you have haircuts like this, I'm not saying you are
    a dork. I'm just saying that it looks TERRIBLE on Metallica).
    Also, Korn is NOT definate for Lollapalooza yet. They are just a rumor.
    Finally, I never said I haven't heard Bruce Dickenson with DT on Perfect
    Strangers. I do have a copy of Acoustic Dreams. I was saying that some guy at
    the Malibu show said he heard it on a highly commercialised NYC station,
    which is bs.
    Thats all. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you, drive through.

    If you want to class Sound Garden, try progressive. If you need proof, listen
    to some songs off of SuperUnknown alone. My Wave, mostly in 5/4 time with
    some time changes. Fell on Black Days, in 6/4 and 9/4, I thnk. SpoonMan is in
    7/4 and 4/4. From BADMOTORFINGER, listen to Rusty Cage and Outshine which
    change times as well. All right, they're not as complex as DT, but they are
    no Bush or nirvana. Neoprogressive maybe? Fight me on this? Be my guest, but
    when a band changes time sigs like that, I consider them somewhat
    progressive. Hell, I'd even consider the Toadies somewhat progressive,
    listen to I come from the Water and that really overplayed one, what the
    hell is the name again? HMMMM .....

            Brian, you're the one with the DreamNDay email aren't you? Just
    wondering, do you you have slots 13 through 17 reserved on the Jam, cos
    you always seem to appear there. I'm not complaining as your posts are
    normally quite amusing, it was just an observation.

    Jammers,
      Just picked up Carved in Stone at Graywhale. Does anybody know why
      they deleted the even numbered songs on the cover? The only even
      number song is #8 all the rest are skipped. I've only been able to

    Each song is borke down into multiple tracks.

    Wilmo, I Mother Earth is the poor excuse for a band that opened for DT on the first leg of the Waking Up The World tour. I caught 'em in Chicago, and boy, did IME suck. When I saw DT previously, the Galactic Cowboys opened, and they kicked ass. I forgot I was waiting for DT. With IME, I was counting the seconds until DT came on. In my opinion, it was a total mismatch. IME is like a cross betweem Candlebox and Pearl Jam, which I guess is sort of like in-breeding. They had a couple o.k. songs, but unless you need some extra coasters, I wouldn't buy it. See ya!

    yeah they do, but i started out not liking korn myself, but after i really gave them a chance i found out they were pretty cool... IMO of course.

    whats a urine sample taste like? and how does this guy know???? \;P

    thats a better day than we've had in quite a while around here! that whole dj thing really sucks, i'm tired of that kind of shit going on, its worthless ass holes like that who are helping to be a part in why dream theater is so underrated... i guess there is SOME good in that... how would you like all those Green Day dudes running around with Green Day hats and Dream Theater shirts......... <shudder>

    as for the sig. wars... i've found it pretty entertaining myself... hey was i the one to start this thing with that "who do ya think 'd win in a fight between this guy and d-man's sig."? well weather it was or not i'd like to contribute (by the way that dude with the picture of the genie... where do you get time to do that?!?!) this...

    "what is it" you ask? will i'm not going to tell you WHAT it is, just dont leave it on your screen more than a couple of seconds ;D

    Hey there,

    There's been six degrees of separation thread going on lately so I figured I'd give y'all a sort of a brain teaser. Try to get from Dream Theater to Manowar in under six steps. The winner get my respect for knowledge of semi-obscure 70's rock.

    I heard from my friend that he heard a rumor that Kiss told Eric when he joined in 1980 if he stuck around ten years, he'd be made an equal partner...well ten years came and they apparently had to give it to him, and that is reportedly why Eric and them didn't get along on the Hot In The Shade tour. Also, the guy I know that knows Eric Singer also knows a guy at Polygram who told him all the reunion stuff we knew in January in December and that supposedly they are doing the tour because Peter has some rare illness and is dying. I don't think I believe that though.

    Hiya ytse-cohorts, On the last jam there were a couple of qustions about some bands that I'll try to answer. I have the I mother Earth C.D. These guys can really play their asses of (especially the bass player). The only problem is that the songwriting leaves A LOT to be desired. It seems that they wrote one song and played it with twelve different lyric sheets. There are a few exceptions but it is difficult to listen to the whole C.D. in one setting, get's pretty dull. Also, there are few too many stops and breaks into "porno music" to be very interesting. Edwin does a much better job of singing with Victor anyway. I'm glad Fates Warning replaced I MOTher Earth on the Awake tour. Korn: what can I say, yes they do play the nursary ryme song (shoots and ladders-not their best song). Korn are recieved as true innovators usually are: ya love em or hate em. I personally love them. Both guitar players use seven string guitars (but they tune even these down-think of detuning the Mirror!). Fieldy the bass player tunes his five string down to "A" and slaps the shit out of that mutha! These guys are so mood inducing, the tecnique is sometimes abandomed in favor of the mood. But they still can break bones! The biggest attraction (at least initially) to Korn is Johnathan davis teh singer (who sings a duet with Mike Patton on Sepultura's new disk "Roots", but I'LL GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE). Korn is some of the heaviest stuff I've ever heard and they put on a show that will bring the sky crashing down. They get my vote for best new metal band of the year as they are forging a new style combining Nine Inch Nails, Sepultura, Type O Negative, and Balck Sabbath. Great stuff! Never expose this CD to anyone whom is clinically depressed or maybe even a little homicidal! Last one I promise. GO OUT AND BUY "ROOTS" BY SEPULTURA! These guys get my vote for best metal album of '96! They have been listening to Korn and Nine Inch Nails. Also they have a bass player! I wasn't sure if Paulo ciould even play his bass on earlier Sepultura disks because you just could't hear him, but now he's out in the mix and kickin ass! There is a lot of tribal influences going on here from the sitar on "Attitude" to the chants that abound on the rest of the disk, to the beautifulk acoustic instruments at the end of the CD. Every track just kicks ass. They are much less the speed thrash band that they used to be and much more forcing their way to they vanguard of the new style of music being created bu NIN, Korn, Fear Factory, Marilyn manson, and now Sepultura. This entire disk screams experimentation. Lot's of technology abounds on the disk from the rap-like scrathing of DJ Lethal to the smorgasboard of effects on Max's voice to the samples of tribal chant's. Jonathan Davis of Korn and Mike patton of Faith no More sing a duet on "Lookaway" written by Sepultura and DJ Lethal. The drummer has thrown off his Krokus influences and is now pounding away like an aboriginal hunter on a spirit quest. Igor is probably the most creative drummer in rock today. Great stuff all around. It's much heavier than their old stuff-they occasionally tune down to "A#"!!!!!!!! Even the vocals are much more intense. No more just simple growling vocals-he tears his lungs out in true Fear Factory style and barks/chants/raps ala Korn with aplomb. Support these extremely talented guys! They are touring for the next year and a half so be damn sure to go and see them. It's sure to be an incredible show! I hope they tour with Korn! Riots would commence at the end of every show!!!!!!!!!

    I hope I've been helpful and not TOO long winded!

    >Dear ytsejammers: >This e-mail account has changed owner, and Im as interested in receivin >>bullshit >as a chimpanzee would be in advanced Tibetan Philosophical writers of the >first century B.C.

    Hmmm, well, at least he has a sense of humor. Well, maybe not.

    >So, I would really appreciate if you only mail interesting trivia about Dream >Theater, like when the fuck's the new album coming out and stuff >So knock out the bullshit and star mailing interesting shit >Yours, >A fan without thirst for Homer-fucking-Bart shit

    I suppose he cant take jokes either. But Im going to treat this as flame-bait, and not say too much on it, cuz countless others will, but this guy needs to chill out. No one is forcing him to read the jam.

    And if you have been absolutely blind, the new album is coming out in August, September, around then.

    As for trivia? Hmmm, Ill try to stay within what this guy knows about DT. Oops, he probably doesnt know what that means. D-R-E-A-M--T-H-E-A-T-E-R. As for trivia, what is the guitarists name? Damn, I think I made that too hard. Sorry.

    For a list more suited to your needs, you may want to try the Green Day listserv, or maybe the Van Halen one... : )

    Later folks. And I graced this guy with too much of my time, I know. Forgive me.

    Well, look who I found...

    Derek Sherinian, currently with DT.

    Derek used to play in Kiss with Bruce Kulick.

    Bruce Kulick used to play in a band called Blackjack, featuring MICHAEL BOLTON in the lead singer slot!
