            Heya...Long time no read. Time to open my mind again....err mouth
            of course =P

            1. DT's heaviest song. Well...IMO heavy is entirely in the ear
              of the listener. I came up with 3 sounds that most people connect.
              with heavy: Raw, Fast and Dark. Of course I might be bs'ing but 'tis
              just something I came up. So basically some people hold that the
              raw stuff is heavier that fast etc.. etc..not going to argue
              for or against any of these. I think that more of any or all of the-
              are on the song the heavier it is =) Sooo...My vote goes to 'The
              Mirror'

            2. Double cd thingy. Errr...I dunno if I'm all on top of this since
              I've skipped a couple of 'jams lately (don't kill me =). But
              if ...remember *IF*... this is true and JP himself asked for it
              I'm there right now ! And someone was concerned if this creates a
              monster..IMO not. If they have the songs ready the input of us
              'jammers is only for the record company for allowing it to be.
              We all listen to the type of music that sometimes NEEDS the lenght
              to come thru. And the dudes are so great musicians that I defini-
              tely don't think any fill-up's are forthcoming or problems with
              quantity vs. quality =) ....20 songs...that MIGHT blow my mind tho =P

            3. Umm my last post never got through but if it did disregard this.
              Anyways what I wanted to say that it's cool to have some real lite-
              rate talents here like Paul W. Cashman. I have Tales From the White
              Wolf and I know how hard it actually is to create a good cohesive
              story. You rock =) ...Now somebody tell Iain Banks to stop lurking
              and post I'm happy =)

            DISCLAIMER: On the last point I never in any way tried to put down
                    our own talents in the 'jam. Bafu and the rest....keep on
                    posting ;)

            Ack...was that too much ? Anyways take care y'all!

    I believe that John Sykes and Phil Lynott were in a band called Hawkmoon.
    I think this same band also included Gary Moore at one time. It's a
    seventies band.

    I know what you mean, me being a student I had the same thing last year
    when I was in halls. I thought the problem would go away when I moved into
    a flat with another 4 students. Well it did to the extent that nobody
    listens to Britpop.. Now I get either Iggy Pop, Frank Sinatra, Eric Clapton
    or soppy love shite! :-)
    Seriously though, I can put up with Oasis. IMO Noel Gallagher is a good
    songwriter, yes we've all heard similar songs before but they're catchy and
    easy to listen to, which I think accounts for their success. As for other
    Britpop stuff such as Pulp, well the less said the better really!!

    Is that not because this part of Erotomania is the same as that part of
    TSM? I know music from TSM is in Erotomania, but I can't remember where
    exactly. I think this will probably be that bit.

    Also I worked out the intro fill to 6:00 last night. I sampled it then
    slowed it down by 2 octaves to work it out. I think this is what it is..

        rlLR L R L R L R L R L R L
    t1-|--dd-d-d-------------------|
    t2-|---------d-d---------------|
    t3-|-------------d-d-----------|
    t4-|-----------------d-d-------|
    t5-|---------------------d-d-d-|
    bd-|dd-------------------------|

    t1>t5 = octoban 1>5 (I think he only has 4 but there's definitely 5 different
                         tones. maybe t5 is his highest tom..?)
    bd = bass drum(s)
    r/l = right/left foot (up to you if you use this or not, it just means the crash
    R/L = right/left hand (after the fill is with your right hand. more natural.)

    Oh well, I think I've used up quite enough bandwidth....

    Cheers... Edd.

    One more thing, I gotta say bye-bye to the jam for summer (sigh). Better
    unsubscribe than have 60 million jams next fall. If anyone, for whatever
    reason, needs to get in touch with me, do so at the address below, or
    possibly through Bigman, since he's going to be checking in through the

    Subject: Vanden Plas live...
    Message-ID: <9605021518.AA00364@sundoc13.software-ag.de>

    Hi all

    some of you will have heard of Vanden Plas by now, but even if you haven't, go
    out and get a listen of their album "Colour Temple", or even better, go and see
    them live if you happen to live in France or Germany.

    I caught them live in Wiesbaden, Germany on Tuesday night. It was the third time
    that I had seen them. The first two gigs were great, and I was wondering if
    their live show was really as good as I thought it was. I was not disappointed,
    in fact, I was nearly blown out of my boots. You could really tell just how much
    fun these guys were having up on the stage, something that I sadly missed the
    two times that I saw Dream Theater. Excellent music, fantastic sound, amazing
    musicians. They played two new tracks (The Rain Maker and The Day That I Die),
    the first of which is certainly the most knock-out prog/metal song that I have
    heard for years. After the show, my girlfriend said that she suspects Vanden
    Plas broke into the studios where Dream Theater are currently recording and
    stole some of the new stuff. It is *that* good. Very subjective, of course, but
    one of the best/most enjoyable concerts I've been too (and I've been going to
    concerts for 24 years now).

    Before the show I was chatting to the singer and the guitarist. They said the
    new album won't be out until early next year, but there should be an acoustic
    CD coming out later this year (where did they get this idea, Mr. Bahr?). The
    band use the same studio and sound engineer as Superior (should be a well-known
    name on the jam by now), and both bands know each other (Bernd Bassmer asked
    me to pass on best regards, which I did), so I asked a question that has been
    on what is left of my mind for a while: how about a double feature with
    Vanden Plas and Superior (with Dream Theater as opener - joke). After a few
    seconds the answer was "why not. It would be great, and musically we would
    suit each other". Possibly something to look forward to.

    Now a couple of random thoughts and comments.

    1. What are some of you going to listen to next if prog/metal becomes popular
    and gets more coverage? All that crappy exclusive attitude and the "I-listen-to
    something-that-you-can't-understand" posing will be out of the window. Just a
    thought that amuses me.

    2. If you don't like what's on MTV or the radio, stop whinging, turn it off and
    listen to your tapes and CDs: that's what I buy them for.

    3. Another concept album that hasn't been mentioned yet (see past jams) is
    "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" by Alan Parsons (and, of course, "The War Of
    The Worlds" by various artists).

    4. Vanden Plas are an amazing live band.

    5. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy (how's the
    head these days, Graham?).

    I'm off (well, something round here smells rough).

    stay safe and happy listening

    Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.91.960502111301.13167C-100000@wicked.stigmata.org>

    A lot of people are strecthing to make there favorite albums, all of a
    sudden, concept albums. BTW, I like what I read about Queensryche
    "Waring" and the entire Queensryche collection as a concept. But in
    places it is a strecth, you have to admit it.

    My point is that all album must have a certain concept to them. Album
    that don't have a cnocept from the get go, are very disjoint and don't
    flow well. These are the "Singles" albums. As much as I like it, I
    think, Collective Soul's most recent effort is such a Singles ablum. I
    don't see as unity between songs, which I feel is nessacary to have a
    excellent album.

    Does anyone agree with me here, that all album seem to have some
    reoccuring theme which helps them flow better, or am I just blowing hot
    air, or something.

      Isn't it 'go down on you in a theatER' ? ;-)

      About that male perspective... Last time I checked I was still a
      male... For me that's not enough reason to like a female singer
      'cause she sounds like a 'fuckmonster'...

    > 'Nuff said - male perspective!

      Guess so...

    > It's just one of those things you gotta be male to understand... ;-)

      /me is a male and doesn't understand

      At least Tori Amos takes the time to giftwrap those thoughts in
      some nice words. For instance, on 'Icicle' she's singing about
      masturbating as a young girl... But at least she's trying to make a
      point about the hypocrisy of religion (or rather those who 'enforce'
      it). She's not just saying 'Fuck' for Fuck's sake...
      Even when breastfeeding a piglet, she's trying to make a point...
      Wish I was that piglet, though (that's my male perspective)

      Btw, I taped a concert of hers on Dutch TV last week or so...
      I've never ever heard any of her music but I thought I'd tape it
      anyway... So I don't really have an opinion on her music, yet...
      But IMO you can't knock what you haven't heard, so I won't.

      Hey ! Maybe I *will* like her... psycho-bitches are cool! ;-)

    definitely get Operation:Mindcrime. it's argueably their best work.
    absolutely and INCREDIBLE concept album. IMO, Promised Land is a close
    second to it. i truly think that Promised Land is the most progressive of
    all their albums, but to buy it first would be misleading, since it's so
    completely different from anything they've ever done. if you're not into
    billboard sounding material, stay away from Empire. while there's some
    great material on there, the whole album is very, uh, top-40ish. i don't
    really care for any of their material before mindcrime. it's too metalish
    for my tastes. (IMHO)

    hope that helps

    Hi all,

    I just bought a CD called Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance from
    Tourniquet and it's pretty cool. Their drummer is killer. Their guitar
    stuff kind of reminds me of Megadeth in terms of heaviness and stuff.
    Has anybody got any of their newer CD's? I've looked for them, but can't
    seem to find them anywhere.

    It seems like the petition to get DT to release a 2CD set is dead in the
    water. I have a different idea though. I'm sure everyone here has heard
    of Mortal Kombat. I say that we petition the people at Sega who are
    making the pinball game, and ask that they release the soundtrack on CD,
    as was done with the music from MK! I think that could potentially save
    alot of us about $250. Of course we won't tell them that we'd buy the
    Sega Saturn and the game just to hear the music, or they'd never release
    the CD! :)
            Just a thought. If there is enough response to this on the 'jam,
    I'm sure Skadz will set up another petition on dreamt.org. :)

    wrong!
    I like Fire and Ice, but you CANNOT ignore the original "Yngwie Malmsteen's
    Rising Force." The QUINTESSENTIAL neo-classical guitar album of all time.
    Just listen to "Far Beyond the Sun" and you will agree.

    on the contrary (i just love saying that :), smashing pumpkins did a
    double cd and theyre touring, and in fact they have about as many
    previous cds out as dt does. so what if we have to cut out some of the
    old favorites, we'll get more new ones!
        another thing- alot of bands with a strong fan base (not big
    necessarily, but strong) dont always play alot of the new album anyway,
    when i saw ozzy in oct he played NOTHING off of ozmosis, for reasons
    that he wanted to give the fans the stuff they could rock along to
    live, and he'd do the newer stuff when people got to know it more, so
    theres no obligation to do the whole album in concert.

    and i just noticed, one of my posts is cut off in the beginning, what
    the hells up with that? its done that twice now.

    oh yeah, you wanna know a bitchin jazz g-tarist? stanley jordan. this
    guy kicks!

       ok that be it.

    First, I saw Joe Satriani last night. I've never been a huge fan of his,
    but I wanted to see him live at least once because he's one of the
    "greats." I was really impressed by the show and for those who haven't
    seen him live, I would reccommend it. I could've done w/o Stu Hamm's
    solo, though.
    Second: I can't help but think of Alanis as Axl Rose with ovaries.
    Just a fun little thought that makes me smile.

    I've occasionally heard people talking about JP's acoustic guitar playing.
    IMHO, he is primarily a (phenomenal) electric player. I'd love it if he worked
    on some of his acoustic stuff (I'm sure he could become an amazing acoustic
    player fairly quickly) and showed off a new side of his playing on the next
    album... Then again his electric playing kicks every ass so maybe not!! =)

    For anyone interested in hearing the most unbelievable live recording of an
    acoustic guitar performance EVER, go out and buy "Friday Night in San
    Francisco" by Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucia, and John McLaughlin. You will NOT be
    dissappointed..
    -Neil.
