    PLEASE UNDERSTAND, THIS IS STRICTLY MY OPINION
    AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.
    Thank you.

    Hi all,
            I've been observing for a while and I feel it's finally my time to
    speak out. See, I'm a huge fan of DT, Metallica, and Megadeth. Needless to
    say I'm getting sick and tired of seeing someone bash one of the guitarists
    from these bands. You don't see much here about Petrucci, but I've seen
    alot of people saying things like "Hammett sucks compared to Friedman," or
    "Hammett doesn't even write his own solos, Mustaine and Hetfield did it
    all," or "Hammett defined the thrash solo and Friedman copies him." This is
    all nonsense.
            A player is built off of his influences and his ambitions, along
    with the natural talent given to him by God. Each one of these players has
    a unique and outstanding playing style that shaped millions of other
    guitarist out there, myself included. I think it's cool to compare the
    playing styles. That shows an understanding of music and musical
    appreciation, however, I think it's total bullshit to say that one is better
    than another. All we SHOULD say is that IMHO this player sounds better to
    me or I like his playing style more than this other guy. To say that one
    sucks and one is cool is incredibly asinine.
            I said this before in response to the Satriani, Johnson, Vai
    bullshit that was posted. There is a certain level a guitarist reaches when
    he has played for a long amount of time and has become well-versed in the
    ways of the guitar. This level I call the ELITE. These guitarists we've
    talked about here are definitely all in this category. I have the utmost
    respect for all of them. I know I'm repeating myself here, but all of these
    guitarists have had an incredible influence on myself and my playing. For
    example, I've got to say that the Friedman solo to "Tornado of Souls" is
    excellent, so is the Hammett solo to "Creeping Death" and Mustaine's work on
    "Go to Hell" (just a few examples). Heck, the things that made me become a
    guitarist 5 years or so ago were the solos to "Enter Sandman" and "Summer Song".
            Last but not least, if you think you're better than these guitarists
    and ACTUALLY CAN back it up, then and only then would you be able to say
    that any one of them "sucks". Even then, you'd only be proving yourself to
    be an incredible asshole. End of story.

            Courteous hate mail will be (foodspoon) accepted at no further
    charge. ;)~

    Love yuz' all!

            Peace be with you and God bless.

            Hey cool. This will be fun (Except that I have to ANALYZE
    METALLICA!) I'll get right on it. I'll probably take this to private e
    mail unless anyone objects. Can I note that I'm glad this conversation
    didn't fly out of hand into an arguement...

    >It's one angle of the quote you
    >gave of me -- that Thrash has happened is more due to Metallica's input than
    >any other band. But, in part, what you say is right -- at the time,
    >Metallica wasn't in any way the ONLY band doing it.

            I suppose this is one of those things that you can argue until
    you're blue in the face... it all comes down to what you listen to and how
    you listen to it. I will agree that Metallica was a HUGE influence on metal
    in general, but I just don't see them as being more significant than the
    other huge bands of the time. I guess album sales MIGHT be a way to judge
    that... but I don't care to research who sold more albums in say.... 88 than
    the others. So on that note, let's agree to disagree.

    >I have a little bit of trouble saying Roth is VERY technical. He's
    >certainly technical, but so is Michael Schenker. Roth's style is a little
    >more exotic, but he's playing throughout his career was based on
    >arpeggiation.

            Have you listened to any of Roth's solo work? Not with the
    Scorps... his Japanese releases and the likes. If you can suffer through
    his god-awful vocals the solos are as technical as Yngwie, but a bit more
    raw and exotic. I have a LOT of his material on cd... there's some really
    impressive stuff, but NONE of it makes it worth sitting through the vocals.
    Catch me in a good mood and I'll make you some .wavs.

    >Two or three? I dunno if you're just talking simple minor inversions or if
    >you're talking about using extensions or what. Two or three doesn't tell me
    >much, aside from the fact that I don't think I'd agree with any possible
    >interpretation.

    I'm saying 2 or 3 different arpeggios as in major, minor and probably some
    diminished, in a few different inversions. I haven't studied Hammett's
    style extensively... but from what I've heard that's what has come through.

    >Well, I did hedge my bets a little with the word "usually," but I STILL
    >think there's gonna be similarity, in most cases. I mean, Alex Skolnick,
    >who was a tremendous player in Testament (probably still is, but I haven't
    >heard Exhibit A), didn't use many of the same note choices, but I still
    >would point at similarities in the way the solo interacts with the rhythm
    >guitar and bass. That blueprint belongs, primarily, to Metallica.

    But I would content that is more logically based... I mean, if it wasn't
    Hammett it was DiMeola, Van Halen or Yngwie... you can't really call someone
    an innovator for soloing in time or interacting with a rhythm they way rock
    and roll has always taught. I'd hesitate even more in the case of Skolnick
    who was heavily into jazz (allegedly) and would likely have picked his
    infuences up there in an attempt to seperate himself from Joe Shredder.

    >Clapton and Beck are different voices...I wouldn't have any trouble
    >separating the two at all -- but they ARE similar in several ways. The fact
    >that both Hammett and Friedman are mining a thrash sound is evidence enough
    >that there's SOME similarity. What's in question is HOW similar they are
    >and what context you couch that in. <snip> My initial arguement

    >not all, of those conventions.

    I see where you're coming from now. They have the whole genre in common if
    you take it to that level. But I am more concerned with making it clear
    that Marty developed his style independently from the other established
    players of the period. I would urge you to check out Marty Friedman's first
    instructional video if you have a way to watch it without buying it (even
    though my bassist got some bizzare ideas from it) It might be enough to
    get you to change your mind.

    Be well.

    Greetings gang.

    As far as CD Europe is concerned, I ordered Lord Bane and T-Ride from
    them a few months back. They soon sent me a letter telling me t-ride
    was no longer available but Lord Bane was. I got the Lord Bane CD about
    2 weeks after ordering (actually it was three I think.)

    At that point, I thought, cool. But then friend of mine ordered a
    snargload of stuff, including Crimson Glory's s/t Tape with the bonus
    track "Dream Dancer". Well after beaucoup weeks, he finally got some of
    his stuff in but had crimson glory's s/t CD with NO "Dream Dancer" He
    was po'ed and sent it back but the motherfunkers billed him anyway and
    he had to straighten it all out and it sucked and he has yet to receive
    "Dream Dancer".

    Bottom Line on CDEurope: If you want Lord Bane, use'em. If you want
    something else, try someone else (but I wouldn't recommend Wildside
    Imports as they have huge catalog but NOTHING in stock...I like Impulse
    Records).

    As for the Legendary MIDNIGHT of Crimson Glory, last I heard he was
    going to sing for a band called Zoic with some dude from...was it
    Mamento Mori(sp?) or someone else?....anyway he didn't have the money to
    fly to Europe to record it so Zoic got the guy from Veni Domine
    instead. Last I heard, Midnight was in Florida doing God knows what.

    2 weeks till Rush
    Steve Vai will be in New Orleans I think on December 1 but I doubt I
    will go.
    Eric Johnson will be at the Varsity in Baton Rouge on December 7(the day
    after Rush!) for those interested.

    Later

    Jammers,
      Just wondering if there are any Kate Bush fans here on the net? I
    figured that since there are Tori Fans, that there HAD to be some
    Kate Bush fans. I love here music. I do note alot of musicians being
    fans of theirs, especially Angra who seem crazy about her judging by
    their interview and their cover of "Wuthering Heights". If anyone
    wants to get into her and doesn't know the right album to pick up, by
    all means, pick up "The Dreaming". That album is probably her most
    progressive, or at least the most experimental. I actually like her
    better than Tori, but they are both Great. I noticed the gentleman
    from Superior listing a couple of her albums in his newsletter as
    being his favorite all-time albums. I just wonder why alot of people
    I talk to have never heard of this wonderful singer and
    performer.....Take Care all...........Dusty

    This thread interests me because I listened to some Metallica the other
    day, for the first time in a long time. And I just can't stand Hammet
    anymore. I agree with everything that you said, and I can tell (on Justice
    in particular) where he's playing something that Hetfield wrote, because
    those solos (better called melody lines, I guess) are just tons better
    than what he does on his own. His own solos are poorly structured, often
    don't fit, and his tone is just painful to listen to.

    He does have a couple solos that I like. One, for example. And I like all
    of the Mustaine solos he plays. But on the whole, ugh. don't like hammet.

    Hetfield's solos, on the other hand, are awesome, IMO. He doesn't shred
    all over the place, and I'm guessing he probably doesn't have the speed to
    play the high-energy parts like Kirk (I think I read that in an interview
    with him once upon a time) but he has a killer sense of melody. Had,
    anyway. I haven't heard much of Load and don't intend to...it's not what
    I'm into.

    I can't compare Metallica to Megadeth, though, as I haven't heard much of
    the latter (Mustaine's personality annoys me so I've never really checked
    into his music.) But I will say that Metallica did some really amazing
    stuff on Puppets and Justice. MOP, One, Disposable Heroes, To Live is to
    Die...those songs are classics. I wish Metallica had pursued the direction
    they took with Justice. The intertwining of excellent acoustic riffs with
    the thrashy stuff was done exquisitely. The black album was okay, and had
    some good stuff, but I think it was a big step back and seemed to lack
    the heart that the earlier stuff did.

    I apologize for the lack of DT content, but I've been listening to
    Metallica lately and I'm interested in discussing it without getting into
    the sellout argument, which bores me to death. So if anyone wants to talk
    metallica, please e-mail me.

    We'll be riding up from the Southeast for the Birch Hell show (me,
    Big.Swifty, and Wes "that dude with the huge Anthrax sig" Foll :)).
    We'd like to get with all the other Jammers before the show, too.
    I know many of you already from Y'cons II and III, but they don't. :)

    Uh, I think the Fanta-seeya Diner is out. :) (Although we -could- go
    by there and give the owner a hard time....heh) Are there any other
    landmarks near BH we can meet at? There was a McDonald's right near
    the Fanta-seeya Diner (BTW, it's actually Fantasia if you're actually
    from the area). Anything else? On the way out after the show the
    last time, we stopped at a pretty cool diner, but alas I can't
    remember the name now. It was on the same road as BH and (according
    to my hazy memory of the credit card charge) in Brunswick, NJ.
    Wherever we all meet, it needs to be fairly BIG. :)

    Come to think of it, we need directions to the club from the South on
    I-95; please email me if you can help out.

    Here re my own top 5 CDs for the year (ones I've first heard during 1996 regardless of when they were released):

    1. Superior, behind -- IMO the best prog-metal CD I've heard in perhaps two years (note that ACOS is an EP :)). Stunning, excellent, and it was only a demo when I got it. Of c. fifteen people I've played the CD for, only one didn't like it (and he's into death and black metal). 14 for 15. If these guys don't get some fame, there truly ain't no justice. More: www.crl.com/~vanyel/superior.html

    2. Type O Negative, October Rust -- At some time during the last 3 years, Peter Steel, uh, stole into my mind and queried my subconscious as to what I liked most from BLOODY KISSES, an album I really liked. Then he and his mates made a CD that very closely paralleled my wishes. Thankee, Pete! :) Seriously, while many bands can sound like a Carnivore, very few can emulate Type O's gothic sound, and that's what they went with. Uniqueness is Good.

    3. various, Working Man: A Tribute -- A for effort. Not every track is a gem but DT's contributions are top-shelf, and overall it's very good. Yes, I've even grown to like Devin's vox. :)

    4. Tool, Aenima -- It's good, it's long, I like. :) Just five words regarding the video(s): Bring back the Clay Dudes. :)

    5. Lemur Voice, INSIGHTS -- A very good prog CD; suffers only from sometimes-lackluster vocals.

    Hey Jim,

    I found my sheet of info. It's at a place called The Saint. Doors at 8, show at 9, cover $7. On friday it's at Kenny's Castaways on Bleeker St. in the Village (one block from the home of Prog Rock Nite), show at 10, cover $8.

    I believe the NJ show also features Curious Works and E-Motive. I have seen them both at Prog Rock Nite. Curious Works is rather good, and I forget what E-Motive is like. There is an act called Inearvisions, but it's unclear whether they're playing at just the NY or both shows. The NYC show also features E-Motive and a band called Nepenthe, which I am not familiar with.

    I am also posting this for everyone else's benefit.

    URGENT: Can someone who has an address, directions, and/or a phone # for The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ PLEASE email me? Better yet, if it's a local call from Jersey City or NYC, you can call and leave me a message at (201) 798-3741 or (212) 571-3434 extension 273, since I might not get an email in time. Hey, post it, I might get that. I really want to go, but I have no clue where this place is or how to get to it. Thanks!

    For those who don't know, GLD is a good neo-prog band, and I am not familiar with Tristan Park, although every other band I've heard on their label (Mr. So & So, Arena) is also neo-prog, and they're also very good! Curious Works is also neo-prog, a little heavier, with a female singer. I've seen them live, and they are also worth seeing.

    He means that the reason James' vocals were so raspy and evil on "Just Let Me Breathe" is that he (James) always reads the 'jam before going into the studio, so naturally he gets really pissed off with all this talk of recording the upcoming holiday shows, Mike Bahr releasing the uncovered gig, etc.

    By the way, has anyone other than me considered what the vocals are going to sound like on Tapestry? They won't be what's on ACOS, at least "Perfect Strangers" won't be...

    The show was about six hours long, so it wouldn't surprise me if some or several parts of it aren't at that site.

    "You know, before the show Mike Portnoy came up to me and said, 'You know Dom, guitarists could never do this.' and I said, 'What do you mean?' and he goes, 'They'd kill each other.'" --Dom Famularo

    Yet another hilarious take on the cannibalistic nature of us guitarists. (predatory and proud OF it!) Even though this statement was more shrapnel for Dom to fling at guitar players, I good-naturedly applauded along with everyone else because I didn't wholly disagree...

    Hi everyone !!! Just wanted to tell everyone that I do have major server problems and can't connect to dalnet. So I'll see you all on irc.dreamt.org again (hopefully). Please use my original e-mail in the meantime.

    Keep on jamming! Wolf.
