    Hi everyone,
            
            With all this talk about great guitar players, I have to mention one
    that I don't think anybody has brought up:

                                JASON BECKER

    He's amazing, or at least he was :(, now he's fighting a new battle with ALS.
    Check out his solo albums "Perpetual Burn" and the latest release
    "Perspective". Perspective requires an open mind, it's not necessarily a
    "guitar album."
            He also does some amazing stuff with Marty Friedman in the band
    Cacophony (I know none of this is new to some of you). All of the earlier
    stuff is really self-indulgent (our new buzz word), but it's fun and
    mind-boggling to say the least.

    Bye,
      Scott Daugherty

    But Paul's bass lines were rippin'. Nothing beats those fills in 'Paperback

    but melodically speaking they were so...so...hummamble.

    Shit, I feel like listening to Abbey Road all of a sudden...

    CAT FIGHT! :) I agree, she totally smokes. Although she reminds me

    thing since she gave a clinic down here about a month ago. But she uses a

    Heavy as shit? I understand it was your basic 80's hair band metal.

    I've wanted that CD ever since I heard it came out. Have you heard of the
    new CD he's coming up w/? It's like one really long song w/ a bunch of
    famous guitarist doing things they don't usually do (i.e. Yngwie playing
    blues). THat should be interesting.

    >(And if Reb Beach and Vito Bratta ever get their slated-for-1993 solo

    Did you ever hear 'The Guitars that Rule the World'? IMO Reb's was the best
    song on that CD. Paul Gilbert also came up w/ a pretty cool ditty.

    I actually bought that CD a while ago... still letting it grow on me though.
    I was expecting something a bit heavier (as in crunchy guitar) , so it took
    me while to really listen to it. I was actually listening to it while I
    read this... SPOOK-AYYY!

    One thing though..."But you know that love can be as hard as algebra" huh?
    That's just too corny... at least calculus, but algebra? :)

    This is kind of interesting, and entirely useless: Here in the USA, where
    we mangle good English at every chance, it seems that the word 'theatre'
    refers to more `legitimate' (i.e. live) acting, and 'theater' refers to
    movie places. This would make sense, since DT got their name from a movie
    theater, not a theatre. Now, in the REST of the English speaking world,
    'theatre' may just be a blanket term for every kind of theater, movie or
    otherwise. I work, for example, in the Connecticut Repertory Theatre. But,
    if I wanna go see a movie, I go to the Showcase movie theater. Neat, eh?
    And since you'll all be getting this Jam at about 3 in the morning, it
    should be interesting to read. =+)

    Well, IMHO, to pass up "The Warning" and "Rage For Order" is a huge mistake. I
    have listened to QR since the EP came out and it has been fascinating to see the
    band evolve with each release. These are two of my favorite releases (alright,
    Mindcrime is 'the' favorite', though). There are some really great songs on
    these disks! I do agree, however, that Mindcrime is the best starting point for
    someone that has never listened to QR.
    Listen for yourself with an open mind.

    P.S. Hey Itchy, What Marillion disk should I buy first? I've never heard any
    of their music before (continuing the "which disk should I buy" thread.....).

            Hi all!

            Tomorrow (Friday) through midday Sunday I will be in Denver at
    the airport Regency competing in the regional Magic: The Gathering
    tournament. Most, if not all, CD mailing is already finished here (for as
    much stuff as I have) so it should not interrupt shipping any. I won't be
    able to check my e-mail for a few days, so be prepared to wait for an
    answer from me. I have my mailbox down to about 14 so I won't be keeping
    too many folks waiting, I hope. :)

            If you live in Denver, I'd be glad to meet you at the tourney
    Saturday, or party with you Friday night (since I'll have nothing else to
    do). You'll probably be able to call me by asking for me at the hotel,
    but if that fails, call my girlfriend here in Arizona (602-777-0501) and
    leave your number in Denver, and I'll be calling home every few hours to
    check up with my cat (who's having kittens any minute now) and she'll
    pass your number on to me.

            Take care all and keep on rocking!!!

            I have a tidbit of news I cannot elaborate on, for I am sworn to
    secrecy (unless someone else spills it) but I can say this: something we
    REALLY want (speaking DT-wise) is going to happen. That's all I can say.

            Also be on the watch for Tori Amos unplugged in September!! And
    Van Halen and Tori are BOTH on the Twister soundtrack, with the Chili
    Peppers... sounds like a keeper to me!!!

    a friend of mine was (and is) on the freaks list when there was a
    discussion about this particular line. they rationalized it by saying
    that since steve rothery studied electrical engineering in school,
    "algebra" was (obviously) referring to boolean algebra, not your normal
    ninth grade math algebra.

    i'm somewhat of a QR newbie, but i was under the impression tate just
    went falsetto for those lines in SSM where "mary" is talking, and that
    pamela moore just did the "what are you doing out there in the rain?" line
    and any others i cant recall at this moment.

    DTC... does anyone else think I&W is a better album than awake, but
    awake is more listenable because there seems to be a better flow to the
    album, or is that just me.

    I don't know about you people, but I hated algebra 1 and 2 and vow never to
    take or use it again. Maybe you guys had an easy time with it, but did you
    ever do algebra in braille? No, it's not easy atall and my mind is not geared
    towards math. I am a musician. All I need to know how to do is count. :)

    Hi fellow jammers!

    It's out! The 1st SUPERIOR Newsletter has just been sent away to the
    persons who requested it. If someone else is interested in getting it,
    just email me (superior@dreamt.org).

    Does anyone of the German jammers know, if the Petrucci-Video is out
    here too?

    About the 2CD-Thing. I can only say, that I'm with the ones, who
    say that it would be DT's commercial death if they'd do this.
    It's a matter of costs. Costs for the band, costs for the label
    and finally costs for the fans.

    Hey, hopefully I'll sell my equipment tomorrow and buy the Mesa-Boogie
    Tri Axis and the 90/90 Amp. Yipieh! :)

    Have a nice weekend everybody!

            The new Rush album is called "Test For Echo", it is finished, and
    will be released on August 20, 1996. They will tour in the fall since
    Neil does not like to tour in the summer. They will hit all the stops
    they hit on the Bones tour, and possibly more.

            It has 12 songs, one of which is an instrumental. No song titles

    Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance is a good buy. You probably don't want
    their latest two albums, though. They are entitled Vanishing Lessens
    and Carry The Wounded [EP], and they are not too heavy in comparison
    to their older stuff- both released on Intense Records.

    You might want to try their album *before* POD. It's their best,
    IMO. It's called Psycho Surgery- it is released on Intense *and*
    Metal Blade (much like POD). Psycho Surgery has a lot of classical
    influences.

    They've also got an album before that called Stop The Bleeding-
    released on Intense and Metal Blade. It is heavy, but it is also
    high in the cheesy lyric catagory. It's got 3 great songs- Ark Of
    Suffering, The Test For Leprosy, and Somnambulism.

    Also, they *just* (like a week ago) released a greatest hits (with 2
    new songs). It entitled The Collected Works Of Tourniquet. The 2
    new songs are back in their old style, and very heavy in comparison
    to their latest two VL and CtW.

    I'll be going to India from June 25th to August 11th and look what I have to come back to! ARGH! This will make my stay in India frustrating knowing that the new Rush album is coming out! I mean I love my relatives and all but this will just make me anxious to come back and deter me away from the fun I should have :( Hey Mike, I know your probably at Denver now but when you do get a chance to respond to this, where did you get your info from?

    I know a some of you guys know Derek, and plan to show....I know Greg Smith, the bassist, and spoke to him last night about the gig....It should be...'Interesting!!'

    Date: Fri, 3 May 1996 10:30:42 -0500 (CDT) From: Bryce Bukowsky <c664000@showme.missouri.edu> To: ytsejam@ax.com Subject: A couple DT things... Message-ID: <Pine.A32.3.91.960503101626.82960B-100000@silver.missouri.edu>

    Monday I received the 4 CD's from Timothy Lodge (Thanks Tim!). They included the Majesty Demo, both Instrumentals, and Rising Power. I love both of the instrumentals. The thing I don't like about the three DT CD's is that they all are recorded poorly. The level is low and the range of frequencies is also poor. As far as the music is concerned, there awesome. I don't like Chris Collins on the majesty demo. IMHO: He is like worse than Charlie. He screams alot, and just plain out sings bad. Just though I'd let you know what I thought of them.

    BTW, Does anyone know when DT is starting their next tour? (You guys will probably give me a "Duh"! But I don't have a clue). Someone mentioned this a few days ago... Why doesn't John Myung(mute man) hold a clinic? Really I don't care that much. But I really wish JP or MP would hold a clinic close to St. Louis. Everyone is saying how they saw them. It seems like it is always on the East Coast or somewhere in Europe. I guess they're too good for us Midwest(except Ohio) people. Shoot, I would travel to Chicago to see one. Anyway, enough of my bitching. Thanks,

    Bryce Bukowsky
