    Well, I can kinda sympathise with this guy, because I also live in a
    dump... (not Israel though; new zealand... but part of the reason it's a
    dump is probably because I moved here recently). Good music is hard to find
    here, and expensive compared to lesser types of music.

    Some people answered his post with information on Marillion, but what about
    King's X? Where's Angra from, BTW? I've heard _about_ them, but I haven't
    _heard_ them...

    Also, would anybody mind making a list of "top 5" or 10 or something
    Queensr˙che albums?

    big 'ol set up, hang with me for a bit, coupla CD reviews while I'm at it

    this post was gonna be about T-Ride, and how I went back after Bafu told
    me that he listens to it almost every day, and It's his fave band/CD, and
    how I found out they have some absolutely kcik ass musicalities going on
    that I really didn't notice the first time around.....

    this post was also gonna be about how I found Damn the Machine's s/t (and
    only?) (and out of print? perhaps) album in yet another used CD shoppe
    around here (How i love living in a college town! I'm gonna move to a big
    city in a week, and I'm betting my musical "options" (as in finding what I
    like to hear) will actually decrease).....and how i expected a Killing is
    my biz type thrashy Deth thing going on and being pleasantly surprised by
    the musicality present in that album.....really cool album, even tho some
    of the songs sound a bit pieced together.....definitely a should pick up
    for a lotta folks reading this......

    and then, this post could have been about a few other things as well, but
    then I opened the mailbox, and found a package from a guy named john,
    who'd e-mailed for my mailing address with no explanation a coupla days
    ago.....it's got a tape in it, and I figure it's tempest (MC band, who
    were in town a coupla days ago for a show i couldn't get to.....)
    and so the music starts, and it's a cool instrumental, and I'm thinking, I
    gotta pick up a tempest CD......vocals start, they're cool , but don't
    particularly attract my attention (i'm doing other stuff, so it's sorta
    background)....the guy switches from his low vocals, to higher range, and
    suddenly, some notes/vocals hit my attention......holy $#^% that's fucking
    circus man.......COOL, he put You Not Me on here for me.....(he posted to
    the jam coupla weeks ago about having the elektra sampler).....so it's
    Quick Rewind, and listen to this from a whole 'nother P.O.V.....and then i
    hear two words ..............

                            "new millenium"

    and the NEXT SONG is You Not Me

    and it hit me.....i got me a tape dub of FII

    and so it begins, the litany of reviews that y'all are gonna get
    absolutely sick to deth of over the next two months.........

    and since the computer center i'm sitting in is now closing, you're gonna
    have to wait 'til tomorrow to see my thought, if you care to do
    so.........

    It's good to be alive

    Hi! Rogerio Brito writes...

            Actually, the original tape I had included the chat, but I was
    working under a 60-minute constraint for AD at the time. For the record,
    when I say "ripped", they may have taken it directly or they may have
    gotten it from another source, but the point is that Guitar Talkin' came
    out nearly two full years AFTER Acoustic Dreams and yet contained the same
    material. I'm similarly critical of all the Rush boots that are just
    copies of the video soundtracks, and the DT boots that copy existing DT
    boots. Perhaps the worst offender of all was Another Days of Dream
    Theater, a boot that counterfeits an official release, two other boots,
    and a tape that was freely released to all by Kevin Moore.

            One time I knew I was ripped: the Uncovered boot, also by Kobra
    who made Guitar Talkin', has the same Don't Look Past Me as on
    Subconscious, but they label it "Past (Into the Sun)" on the back, the way
    I had to change it for the Subcon label when I was still operating under
    legal restraints at the time. It's clear they weren't fans of the band and
    were just scammers out to make a buck. I still wish to this day that DT
    would have let me release the Uncovered show first. Also note that Guitar
    Talkin' is missing L.I.E. and the songs were re-arranged for some reason.

            Anyway it's my humble opinion that no bootleg should be released
    with material on it that exists on any other bootleg, if at all possible.
    I'm not perfect but I try to conform to this. I have a Queensryche release
    coming up (soundboard from the Rage tour!) and I'm busy digging around to
    make good and sure it's never been released, or is at least completely and
    totally unavailable (a la Vinyl boots).

            Both InstruMental II and Subcon are worth picking up in their own
    right, of course. To all interested in the subtleties of DT boots, check

    Well, let it be said that I was an industrious goon back in college. I
    printed out all of the DT content in all the jams back then, and gave them
    to my friend. Surprise be to me when I find that he'd compiled it all and
    put it in a notebook, along with a bunch of old magazine articles and
    stuff from Metal Edge and the like. heheh. Anyway, here's some stuff
    about the band from an ancient Metal Edge mag that actually had a 4 page
    story on them (in black and white, but it kicks ass!) The title is Dream
    Theater Shoots "Another Day" so you can tell how damn old this is. It's
    even got pictures of John and Rena and Mike and Marlene. I knew I'd seen
    these somewhere. Anyway, they have a brief bio on each member, and what
    made them start playing. Pretty kewl, I never knew alot of this.

    John Myung: "You gotta keep your composure, be ready. You're on constant
    standby," noted John Myung, who played classical violin from the ages of
    5-16, and picked up bass because a friend's band needed a four-stringer.

    John Petrucci: John originally picked up the guitar out of jealousy: "My
    older sister was taking organ lessons and got to stay up later than me,
    ans I was pissed. So I took the guitar lessons but hated it and stopped.
    I got back into it at 12 and learned by myself," he says, naming Steve
    Morse, Steve Howe, Alex Lifeson, Al DiMeola, Steve Vai, Allen Holdsworth,
    and Stevie Ray Vaughn as his favorite axemen.

    James LaBrie: James, from Midland, Ontario, grew up in a musical family.
    He sang in church, shcool and with his dad, uncle, and brother in a
    barbershop quartet.(Korg's note: LOL!) He got into rock at 14, and at 20,
    took opera lessons for four years while doing session work and
    commercials. Eventually, he'd like to do a solo album and a musical play
    like Phantom of the Opera or Tommy. "As much as I love progressive music,
    I'd like people to see another side of me. I love Journey, Van Halen, and
    Aerosmith." He also likes Alice in Chains, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry,
    Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, T-Ride, and Metallica."

    Kevin Moore: Kevin started playing piano at five and wanted to quit, but
    his mom wouldn't allow it. Influenced by Ray Manzarek, Rick Wakeman,
    Keith Emerson, then Chick Corea, Jam Hammer and Jens Johanssen, he "was in
    bands since 8th grade, playing cover songs." New enough to video making
    to find it "still interesting," kevin nevertheless hates DT's "Pull Me
    Under" clip. "It was obvious how low-budget it was. 'Take The Time' was
    more professional." The video for "Pull Me Under," the last song written
    for the album, was lensed at a DT concert. (Korg's note: The infamous
    T-shirt video. heheh)

    Mike Portnoy: "On the forst day of school I'd always get asked, "Got any
    complaints?" (a reference to the Phillip Roth novel Portnoy's Complaint)
    noted Mike, who had the book at home, but never read it. the son of a
    disc jockey, he grew up in a "very musical" household in Long Beach, NY,
    listening to Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. "I was the only 10 year old
    kid with 500 records. I was the rocker of my elementary school. I guess
    it was inevitable that I become a musician." He tried piano, "didn't get
    off on it," and got his first drum kit for his 11th birthday. The Who and
    Kiss were early influences, then in high school he discovered Rush, "a
    band that had a big influence on all of us." His current collection
    ranges from the Beatles to Pink Floyd, Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys,
    Jane's Addiction, Fishbone, Pantera, Primus, Porno for Pyros, and
    Ministry. Outside music, his passions are boxing and films, "the stranger
    the better," a la David Lynch. (He has a Twin Peaks tattoo on his right
    leg.

    heh. Ain't it funny how our happy band came about their passions
    reluctantly at first? Imagine if Mike had stuck with piano. hahahah.

    Heheh... Even though the parady thing died out a long time ago, here's a
    repost of my favorite one.

    Puh' Pounded by Michelle Garcia by Dream Theater.

    Burning in my belly
    Last call came too late
    Feels like there's an icepick in my head.
    The vomit I've been sleeping in
      Has stuck me to the bed.
    I'm feelin' sleazier than a stinky pig
      Wallowing in the sty.
    Can't tell up and down from left and right
      And I feel like a vampire in the light.
    Suddenly, and alarm blares on
      As I wake up and technicolor yawn.

    Stomach's quakin'
    And noises wake him up tired eyes
    Where there once were memories
    Now nothing in his head.

    By the toilet is the mirror
    At his haggard face he glances
    Can't remember how ho got into his bed.

    And rushing to the window
    He throws up on it and out against the wall.
    And starts digorging everyone and all
    Bud Lites he pounded.

    He's had a long, long night
    It took a while to recover
    Now for breakfast, he has to make the choice
    Lite or dark?
    Dark or lite?
    Draft or dry?
    Lite or ice?

    His bladder can't take more of this
    he stumbles off to take a piss
    On his shoes he makes a stain
    The suede will never be the same

    He staggers to the sofa
    Cracks a can and struggles to recall
    And from a slick commercial hears it call
    "Let Bud Lite confound you"

    Was driving round and round
    When I heard that blue-and-white pull up behind me
    He sent me sprawling, gun-butt to the head
    And from the BAC they found in me, I should be dead.

    I thought I'd have to pay a fine
    Instead, they beat me nearly deaf and blind.

    I thank you ociffer
    I crawled away without a DUI
    And now I'm free to drink and drive and drink
    Tomorrow, I'll go out again, I think.
    Tonight i'll still be lying here
    Hung over from all the Bud.

    heheh. By the way, I don't have a fucking Qlew[tm[ where he found it, but
    my bud has a nice big color pic of Derek when he still had his longass
    hair. I'll take a trip to the scanner and post it somewhere tomorrow.
    Kewl pic of him posing with a Peavey DPM 3. There's lotsuv other kewl DT
    stuff I'll get around to posting sometime. heheh No wonder he called it
    the "Book of Knowledge" when he bestowed it upon me.

    hell of a night. I'll let the detail mongers do the big cescriptions, but
    let me say two words: Mike (fucking) Portnoy!! He was there! He played
    "Would" by Alice in Chains along with the rest of Enchant after their
    normal set, and he sang backup vocals during "Life in Still Water" !!!!! I
    got my Fates grey shirt signed by him. :) Unfortunately I had to go home
    (1 hour drive) and couldn't get the rest of Fates' signatures. :(

    Wow. I need a copy of the show. Where's Dr. Mosh? Gimme gimme gimme.

    ugh. delerious sleep-deprived ranting mode off.

    Does anyone have the guitar tab/midi for Satriani's
    'The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing'?

    Sorry I couldn't post this to the YTSJAM-FOR-SALE list...

    I just don't listen to these hardly at all

    them more than me.

    They are all used by me only and in excellent
    condition. There is only one of each. Except
    for Uncovered, they are all originals (not copies).
    I am not a dealer, these are all from my
    collection (not the song, Itchy).

    $75 - High Demand Double CDs

    Lost in the Sky (collector's case)
    The Dance of Eternity

    $50 - Double CDs

    Live in Long Island I & II

    Uncovered (CDR with no case liner or label)

    $30 - Single CDs
