    Being new, please forgive if any of these are retreads.

    I ordered my tickets to the Birch Hill show. I purchased an extra just in case
    someone is in need. I will be staying in Parsippany (my old stomping
    grounds). I am renting a car and can provide rides for some folks in the North
    Jersey area.

    I regularly search the stores for DT stuff. I see alot of stuff on the shelves
    that I already have. If anyone needs these items, let me know and I can pick
    them up for you
     LIT
     LATM (US version)
     LATM (Japanese version w/Another Day)
     TSM
     WDADU

    All these posts about 80's metal started me reminiscing about my guitar heros
    from the 80's. Not including the obvious, like EVH, here are a few:
     Akira Takasaki - Loudness
     Warren DeMartini - Ratt
     Adrian Vandenberg - Vandenberg
     Randy Rhoads - Ozzy
     
    Steve Vai was in a band called Alcatrazz. He played on the album Disturbing
    the Peace in '85. Graham Bonnett who sang on Since Your Were Gone by Rainbow
    and with MSG was on vocals. The music is not bad and the guitar is great. If
    you can find this in a bargain bin, I recommend it.

    I have a few records from a band called Diamond Head. The best is Borrowed
    Time from '82. I would definitely call this Prog-Metal. Longish songs and
    many time changes. Mettalica covered the song Am I Evil from this album.
    Another recommendation if you can find it.

    I picked up FW Parallels. I like it so far. I seem to remember a song called
    Through Other Eyes or something that I saw on MTV. What record is that from?
    Is it good also? I was reading the liner notes and notices DT spelled Dream
    Theatre! Sort of ironic!

    I have Savatage's HOTMK and GB. I bought them to hear Criss Oliva. How does
    the new stuff compare to this style?

    If MP has 3 arms, does that mean he is 3 times better than Rick Allen from Def
    Leppard?

    Seeya, Michael

    no offence or anything, but Johnson is not even in the same league
    as Satch, so I feel that a comparison is unfair to both.
    Furthermore, I seriously doubt,
    even considering my limited theoretical knowledge,
    that Joe's repetoire is as limited as you imply.
    And even if it were, my admiration for the man would only increase,
    because all of his solos sound fresh and unique to my ears.
    (if he could do all that with a limited pallette,
    just think what he might do with a few lessons!)
    and lastly, I find Satch to be vastly superior in innovation,
    taste, and skill to Vai. (although Vai is admittedly quite good.)
    Seeing them at G3 recently reinforced these opinions.

    generally, I would agree that Johnson's compositions are very fine --
    I would even go so far as to say that he are the most mature of the three,
    in that respect, with Satch close behind and Vai in a distant third.
    (Vai is too much fun.)(shut up, we know you can play! jeez!)
    however, I would say that it is Satch who takes the proverbial cake
    when it come to pure guitar playing.
    This opinion was formed watching the final jam at the G3 concert.
    Vai would come in on these blues songs and play his typical shred solos,
    sounding typically of Vai and nothing of the blues.
    then Johnson would come on and play incredible runs --
    but almost no melody whatsoever.
    And Joe would play the blues. (yes, probably in a minor pentatonic.)

    the morel of this forest is:
    if you are a jazz player, as I feel Johnson truly is at heart,
    don't try to cater to what you think a shred audience wants.
    the next time I see him, it will be only if he headlines,
    so he can do what he wants, in his own setting.

    but Satch still does, and always will, rule.

    even if he looks like an alien from a distance. =)

            Vince and company... I have to make this clear... Mike Portnoy
    doesn't purchase any of my bootlegs, and I imagine he might get in
    trouble with management if he did. I clear up this problem conveniently
    and efficiently by providing complimentary copies in abundance, or as
    requested. One of my policies since day one in this "business" has been
    that I will never screw around with the performers... and I will stop if
    ever asked to by the bands or management. Not that I'm going around asking
    if they want me to, or anything... (smile)... but if they do happen across
    the material and it doesn't exactly put a smile on their faces, I'm more
    than happy to cease and desist. Just to be clear on all that... I don't
    want anyone to think "good Lord, that Mike Bahr is one greedy sonuvabitch,
    charging bands money just to hear their own damn stuff!!!" :)

    Message-ID: <m0vN9Al-000QjlC@mis01.micron.net>

    I downloaded those 2 DT ra samples. They are pretty much worthless. I'm
    not flaming anybody, but I just thought I'd let everyone know that if you
    can't download them you're not missing anything. All you can hear at all
    is the drums, and even those are somewhat fuzzy. If you still want to hear
    the samples, go to realaudio.com and download 3.0 or else it won't work.

    Hey Skadz are you ever going to fix dreamt.org? Just wondering. That
    comment about getting a day off and regular updates coming soon have been
    there for years. I guess they weren't coming that soon:) Once again not a
    flame.

    Lots of the majesty demos sound a lot like Fates Warning. I don't think
    it's just cause of the singer either. Anybody else think so?

    Well, you brought in dahmer, I couldn't resist. Wasn't trying to be nasty,
    which is why I ended my message with a smiley.

    I just have a fundamental problem with the premise that something being
    illegal makes it wrong. There are lots of things that are wrong but legal,
    and lots of things that are illegal but not wrong. A lot of laws just
    happen to be wrong.

    Hi all,
            First off, this post has minimal DT content. I just posted it
    because I figure there are many musicians on here that use computers
    regularly, right?

            Anyway--my point. I am looking for a PC program that I could use to
    record my guitar and some other things on. I don't mean some little crappy
    one like Wave Studio. I mean something that basically turns the PC into a 8
    or 16 track mixer/recorder. If anyone out there knows of one that would be
    of use to me, please let me know. Thank you.

            Oh yeah, does anyone have a decent copy of Raise the Knife? I'd
    love to get my hands on this one somehow. Thanks again.

            Peace be with you and God bless.

            ~Vince

    Hi!

    I just came in to give you a short review of what I saw
    last night.
    Vanden Plas and Angra played in Strasbourg and it was INCREDIBLE!!!

    Vanden Plas did a really good job. They played songs from their
    album Color Temple and their playing was real tight. One hour
    of good music.

    And then... Angra. I'm still amazed because of the things I
    saw there. They are awsome musicians and they can do so much
    more than this Helloween kind of stuff they also play sometimes.
    I saw their full set first time (2 hours) because on our tour
    with them theiy only played 1 hour. There even were some
    brasilian touched songs with much percussions in them and so
    on. Another great thing was the short guitar solo of Kiko.
    It's unbelievable what this man can do with his guitar!
    All I can say is... it was awsome!!
    If you ever have the chance to see them live, go there!

    Thanks.

    Bye.

    Bernd.

    hey everyone,

    I'm new around here. Just thought you all should know that. Where would I
    go about getting everything DT ever did? I have the mandatory four CD's,
    and some of the German and foreign dics, but I want all those demos and -
    dare I say - bootlegs. And does anyone know when DT will be touring the
    northwest? Anywhere in the NW would be great, I'll fly or drive to the next
    state if I have to. I missed them in Portland both times they went through
    there, I was in another state, as if that's any good reason to miss the best
    band in the universe. Any news would be good news.

            Um...I think it's "Mandatory 5" bud. You probably need to get Live
    at the Marquee. There's also a video "Live in Tokyo". You can usually find
    these in most common CD stores, hopefully.

    >and some of the German and foreign dics, but I want all those demos and -

            Talk to Mike Bahr. (durnik@goodnet.com) plug...plug... ;)

    And does anyone know when DT will be touring the
    >northwest? Anywhere in the NW would be great, I'll fly or drive to the next

            No dates yet for the NW. There's a few concerts in the New England
    area in Dec. but that's all the news for now.

            Peace be with you and God bless.

    Hello again! I was just skimming over YJ2008 and saw that Jenn posted
    about looking up psychological disorders which coincide with DT songs.
    Well, I've been taking Intro Psych this semester and we were discussing
    dreaming and its different level. The first level, if I remember right,
    dealt with Images and Words that you have experienced throughout the day
    and how they resurface in dreams. The second thing my professor mentioned
    was that the dream you remember when you wake up is the manifested dream
    which he nicknamed the Awake dream. It caught me off guard when I heard
    it. One of the guys must have a psychology background. Does anyone know
    who it may be? See ya.

    Well whenever that guy posted saying that everyone should join the fan
    club because of a surprise in December (hopefully a cd...) I sent in my
    payment and got the starter kit this past Friday or Saturday. (Dont know
    since it was by the front door and I didn't notice it until Saturday).

    About Magna Carta not releasing the new Enchant album. This is a crime.
    everyone shoul email them and complain. Magcart@aol.com
