'Twas me. I left the lab almost immediately after the song ended, and
couldn't get "6:00" out of my head after that. I couldn't even remember
anything about "Missing," other than it sounded *so* much like "6:00."
Maybe it's just me.

Let's state the facts here. The English, unlike the Spanish, Portugese, etc.,
didn't just come over here and start slaughtering people. They coexisted with
Native Americans for a time. They eventually became caught in the middle of
various inter-tribal wars and suffered greatly at the hands of various tribes,
which spawned the tragic "Indian policies" of the British, and later the
American, government.
> ... w/out being supported by Natives they

I've never understood how people could buy this bull. Um, the English that came
here weren't blue-blooded royalty. Many of them had been farmers all their
lives. The Native Americans introduced them to some new crops, such as corn, and
some new planting techniques, but the English were far from helpless.
. and many regretted that they

See my response to the first quote. Many tribes were not "hospitable" by any
stretch of the imagination.
I'm not saying that the English were Saints, far from it. However, they don't
deserve the reputation for being helpless idiots who decided to slaughter people
for no good reason.

Well, to join the thread (really, I'm not trying to make MFP list...
just have alot of different replies to past few jams...).
I have a German import of WDADU on Mechanic Records. The back liner
of the CD has the person being branded w/ the Majesty symbol, and the
CD itself has song titles listed on the bottom in a sort of brick
wallish sort of layout. I got it between Feb and April of '93, back
when there were only a few import shops ni the country that had it...
Also, about the Megadeath post... well, I have been stuck listning to
the radio on the way to and from work this week (normally listen to
CDs) and let me tell you, WAAF is overplaying the hell out of the new
Megadeath song. I hear it every day dboth driving out to and coming
home from work... and to tell you the truth... it sounds sort of
grungish to me... (might also be b/c it is played in the middle of
hte smae 3 or 4 other grunge songs every day)...

Hey, I was in Best Buy tonight and the first thing I heard when i
walked in the store was, yep, TSO. If I'm not mistaken (bad
short-term memory :), I think it was the take on O Come All Ye
Faithful (can't recall the exact name of the track). I got it last
year or else I prbably would've snatched it up :).
Oh, and to whoever it was that posted something about seeing part of
a Savatage video where they started a show with Taunting Cobras, I
saw that entire show at a record fair once not terribly long ago. I
am kicking myself for not buying it (low on cash, though).

Hey y'all,
I just heard Alan Ayo, the night DJ on 96-rock here in Atlanta, mention
about DT tickets for the Masquerade show. Pretty wild! I was coming home
from work in this shitty rain listening to 96 and all of a sudden I hear
something like "...we have [so-and-so] and [so-and-so] tickets... and we
have tickets we're gonna be giving away for Dream Theater at The Masquerade
on Dec. 16."
Whoooahhh!! My mouth just dropped to the floor mat :O Shocked, yet
pleased that at least one station has taken time to mention DT instead of
the "Rolling Fossils" for once. About 20 minutes later, Ayo stated again
"...we're still gonna be giving away Dream Theater tickets later especially
since we've had so many calls about them coming to town." Cooool!!!! :)
Even though they didn't play YNM or BMS afterwards, it was still pretty
sweet to hear their name on Atlanta radio finally!!!
Take the time,
Brian
Btw, local DT fans: Email Alan Ayo at aayo@96rock.com
I e-mailed him about an hour ago requesting YNM or BMS. Tomorrow I'm gonna
request a classic, like PMU :)

Well, this was brought up before...and i believe someone mentioned thats
its a total coincidence. They hadnt heard 6:00 b4 they wrote it..then
someone brought Awake into the studio and they were left blabbergasted.
And it plausible...since really the only real similarity is that it starts
with drums alone, followed by keys with a guitar-sound..ok, maybe i'm
stretching 'only' here, but the point is, that the drum groove is totally
different, and the keys melody as well.
Prog rock cliches? The one and only..CONCEPT ALBUMS. I really hate it when
bands do concept albums with weak story lines. The only ones that really
mean something to me (and could be made into a book or movie, IMO) are QR's
O:M and Marillion's Brave and MC...with Tage's Streets and DWD coming in
close (they tend to get rather corny at times).

I think it doesnt matter if you start with acoustic or electric...its still
a piece of wood with string over it. Most parents say the 'acoustic'
spiel, because it costs less money...and if its just a passing fad with the
kid, they wont have lost that much money... So the only consideration is
money. Remember if you buy an electric you also have to buy an amp...I
started out with an Epiphone strat and a Crate GX-10...cost me somewhere
between 300 and 400 bucks if i remember well.
Oh, and when you go to a store, go with a guitar-playing buddy, to be sure
you buy a good guitar (within the price range).
(and never buy a Hondo!)
hope that helps,

Well, I guess everything depends on two things: 1)why you want it and
2)how serious you are. I've been a drummer for about 11 years and while
we are a fun bunch to have at parties, it is often difficult for us (okay,
ME) to communicate musical ideas to other musicians (my best line was
"Play something that goes like (singing) la-la-la-la. Got it?")
So, almost two years ago I decided to broaden my horizons and learn
another instrument. I decided on guitar because it was portable (something
which I really appreciate after lugging my drum set in and out of my car)
and because I wanted to be able to write songs. I didn't want to be the
next Satch, Vai, or JP. I just wanted to know enough chords to compose the
basic skeleton of a song. I too went through the acoustic/electric debate.
But I knew that if I got an electric, I'd need to get an amp, and then a
distortion pedal, and my wallet would never forgive me. So I bought an
acoustic for $100. What's also important to note is the electric and
acoustic seem invoke different moods. For me an acoustic is great for
coming up with ballads and more pop stuff (which is where my sensibilities
lie anyway). An electric (especially with distortion) make me want to
write something with more "balls and chunk," so to speak. If you want to
write the latter, an acoustic usually doesn't give an accurate
representation of what it will sound like on an electric. So, I guess what
I'm saying is that it depends what you are looking to do. Personally, I'm
content with writing the pop stuff and letting a "real" guitar player do
the heavy stuff.

Well,I think it means music like Angra,Stratovarius and Helloween.
You know.The music thatīs fast,has a positive feeling to it,very

They will be playing here and I won't be able to see them,
unfortunately. I have to finish some projects for school and since I want

I know you said to send this to private email, Dale, but I wanted to send
this to the list because the ones I'm mentioning *everyone* should know
about...
Two albums by Glass Hammer. The first one, entitled "Journey of the
Dunadan," is a concept album based on the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy by
Tolkien. It takes a few liberties with the story, but the music is
absolutely top-notch. Tons of great keyboards ranging from ambient walls of
synth sound to searing Hammond organ solos, with a powerful bass guitar
sound (very reminiscent of Geddy Lee's playing), and some great guitar
solos. The vocals run the gamut from good to strictly average, but the
musicianship is outstanding. Get this NOW; it's just back in print and it's
available at the band's site http://www.glasshammer.com/ .
Glass Hammer's second album, entitled "Perelandra," is if possible even
better than "Journey of the Dunadan." This one leans heavily on C.S.
Lewis's works, mostly themed on his "fairy tales for adults" series (_Out
of the Silent Planet_, _Perelandra_, _That Hideous Strength_). The
keyboards here are very majestic-sounding, and the album overall is even
better sound-quality-wise than the first one. Less guitar soloing, but more
keyboard soloing, and a more introspective, cooler feel than the first
disc. Combines the best qualities of Yes, ELP, and prog-era Genesis. The
vocals have also improved a great deal. The lyrics are very thoughtful
stuff, well written. "Perelandra" too is available through the band's
homepage.
If you like Glass Hammer's stuff, try out the other projects by DeArqe and
Schendel: Wyzards, a heavier prog-rock band with lots and lots of guitars,
and TMA-2, a project that the two of them call C.A.F.E. --
"Concept-Ambient-Fantasy-Electro." Needless to say, both discs are also
worth getting. They aren't Lewis- or Tolkien-related, though, so I'll quit
raving about them for now. :)
Cheers,
Phil

Haha! :-)
Well, power metal is something along the lines of Angra,
Helloween, you know, those more melodic stuff. Some call it melodic heavy
metal (perfect example: Helloween's "Eagle Fly Free"). Usually with
uplifting lyrics.

exist? I find it strange. I don't think it contributes to the song. I
actually think it detracts from it...

Well, I actually solved and didn't find anything funny, like those
"Love Me" equations (which were what I was trying to find), but I'm
passing thru a weird moment in life, with all kinds of warped thoughts.
:-) So, it wouldn't be surprising if I made a mistake here:
DT(t-10) > FW(t-8) =>
DTt - 10DT > FWt - 8FW =>
DTt - FWt > 10DT - 8FW =>
t > (2DT + 8DT - 8FW)/(DT-FW) = 2DT/(DT-FW) + 8
if (of course :-) ) DT-FW != 0
I'm surely missing something here and making myself and idiot in
front of 1,000 people, but that's life. :-) I'm getting used to it.
