    I may have missed it (haven't read the Jams in a while..been busy), but does
    anyone have, or know where I can find a current picture of Mike's drum kit? I
    have old pictures, but I know it has changed severely since the I&W tour..any
    image format will do...it doesn't matter..I'm just really interested in what
    his setup looks like now-a-days. Thanx..

    He's a really powerful A&R guy (I think he used to work for Geffen and
    now for Sony). If you want to know what he looks like, take a look at the
    Aerosmith video for "Dude Looks Like A Lady." He's the bearded bride. He
    was also in one of Jackyl's videos.

    Hey guys!

    I got 3 boots in the mail today. One of which is the Rush "critical mass"
    video. This absolutely kicks ass! It is very clear and very well done. It
    was a breath of fresh air from the amateur bootleg videos I'm normally
    used to.

    I also got a Rush pro-shot from the Presto tour From Detriot. It's a
    decnt video, but the quality is just ok. My question: what is the date of
    this concert?

    AND...

    I also got a Fates Warnig nvideo that took place in Pittsburgh, PA. on
    the "inside out" tour. There is no date listed on this one either. Does
    anyone know it? Thanks.

            Hey, I heard a rumor that... apparently in Hit Parader Magazine,
    March 97, there's an interview w/ Lars Ulrich where he is quoted as saying
    the new Metallica CD will sound like a cross of "Metallica" and "Master of
    Puppets".

            Hmmm, what can I say other than HOLY SHIT!!! That would be awesome.
    Well, I just hope it's true. If anyone has anything to back up this rumor
    (such as the actual article) please let me know. Thanks.

    I must put in my two cents....Prince or 0+> as he prefers it, is definitely
    a musical genius. Purple Rain still brings a tear to my eye and I can
    honestly say that there's not a single piece of his music that I don't like.
    And his wardrobe is awesome! Anyone with a purple harley is A.G. by me. I
    think I'm gonna go listen to his greatest hits album now.

    Sounds like there's some serious scalping going on there. Radio only gets
    a limited amount of tickets, and most of those are shit seats. From what
    I
    can tell, most radio stations get one pair of front row tix to give away.
    I'm not
    saying that's always true, just an observation. So what's more likely
    going
    on is that scalpers are well connected through ticketbastard and are
    getting
    all the good seats.

    If I were you I'd write a letter of complaint and send it to the band's
    management
    and your State's att'y General's office and there could be an
    investigation.

    Contrary to what some might think, bands so care. If you want email me
    privately and I'll tell you what Prince did to stop scalping of tix here
    in San Jose.

    There have been a few people on the jam asking about if KTS is legit
    I wanted to let you know that my package arrived! I don't have it because
    I was at the Prince concert when the Mailman came (or maybe he was
    just breathing heavy, heeheehee...) so I wasn't here to sign for it, but
    it's
    waiting for me at the post office.

    So if you thought about buying discs from them do it quick, they're no

    Message-ID: <m0wIvVg-003OhyC@parijs.tip.nl>

    Dear Jammers,

    Having read all the e-mails about DT in Amsterdam (mostly agreeing with
    them: YES, they were great, I even liked Enchant), still a couple of
    things to add.
    I was going to DT with a couple of other guys, and the meeting point was
    the Hard-Rock cafe.
    They showed the live video of DT, and played Awake (yes, COMPLETELY!). It
    was a nice start.
    Enchant was nice, DT was great! PLaying such complex songs, with that much
    ease.
    James' voice was much better than with the Awake show.
    One minor pitfall: Take Away My Pain; written by Petrucci, after loosing
    his father (I almost feel bad, complaining about a song with such a high
    Emotional Impact. But the song really had a too high Kelly Family feel
    (except for the solo, and the way it was played, etc., but you get my
    point.)
    Am I the only one who didn't like this song? Maybe I should hear it more
    often, a so called 'grower'?

    BTW, Lines in the Sand and Peruvian Skies were great; can't wait till the
    next album

    OK, I hate to bring this to the jam, I really do, but I have nowhere
    else to bring it. If anyone wants to help me out, Reprise is having a
    contest where you can win the new Faith No More album before it is
    released in June. You have to answer some pretty obscure questions. I
    need one more. The question is:
    Only one Reprise artists did an animated video
             this year. What city do they live in?
    If anyone can prove the answer to this question to me, I will gladly
    give them the answers to all of the other questions. The answer can be
    found on the band's homepage at http://www.repriserec.com/
    HELP ME!!!! Once again, sorry for the lack of DTC. I will post DTC in my
    next post.

    Oh, I'm fairly confident that this Alanis cover band probably sold out the
    club, and does fairly well, simply because there is a market for that right
    now. But as a viable direction for a band to go in, I don't know. I would
    suspect within the next year or so they're going to have to seriously
    reconsider their musical "direction". :)

    Someone wanted to know about Defiance. I have two of their
    cds, which were released on Roadracer/RC records. I have "beyond
    recognition" and "void terra firma." I bought them out of the
    cut-out bins for about a dollar or two each...in my opinion
    the band sounds a lot like Testament. The latest one came out in
    1992, so I wouldn't count on them being around anymore...the
    stuff is pretty thrashy, and like I said, very reminiscent of
    heavier Testament. Any other specific questions can be posed
    either in this forum or via e-mail...

    Subject: DT gig in Bonn !
    Message-ID: <XFMail.970420104149.wayne@msq.ruhr.de>

    Okay folks, this is my first posting on the jam, after just hanging around
    here for a few years:
    I was at the gig in Bonn yesterday and it totally kicked ass. They opened
    with ACOS and played for almost two and a half hours. Everybody in the
    band was really kicking, LaBrie hit every fucking note perfectly =20
    (unbelievable good). There were some really cool things about the gig.
    Mike appeared when the opener "Enchant" was going to play the last song
    and he sat on the drums, then they played "Would" (I think) by
    Alice in chains together. When DT played after the break, the singer
    and the drummer of "Enchant" appeared when DT was playing CIAW and were
    "helping" a bit with the drums and background vocals. Since it was
    Mike's birthday the audience sang "Happy Birthday" for him and James
    gave him a birthday cake with a Majesty-symbol on top, then they played one=
     =20
    song in a "quite different" setting, featuring Derek on guitar, Mike on
    bass, JP on drums and JM on keyboard (they called it "Nightmare Cinema").
    The song they played was "Perfect Strangers" from Deep Purple. All I can
    say is that I can't wait to the next tour, this one kicked some serious but=
    t.

    ttyl,

    If I started from the top and worked my way down
      There would be no reason to live forever. (dt)
