I have Volume I, III, and IV is on the way. Volume I was made in '87 and it
has some good rocking songs. They have an ELP sound on the first one. This
is due to Bill Berends using midi-patches on his guitar. The first volume
is reminicent of ELP but with a hard rock sound. The dummer is really good.
He uses the snare a lot. Overall, they produce a hi-octane prog rock with a
lot of great melodies and some good jams. One song "Tiding of the Battle"
really evokes that feeling and sounds very DT-like in terms of chops and
progressions.
Volume III is more mature work and moves away from the ELP sound. Music is
fairly complex and melodic.

I don't think that the singing is bad. It doesn't take away from the music.
Actually, Bill's voice sounds like Brett Kull's voice of echolyn.

I know this is late, but in the first half of your post you mentioned
that you drove a Dodge Caravan. I saw a Plymouth Voyager (almost the
same thing) in the parking lot at BH with Alabama plates. Talk about
idiots - what kind of jackoff would drive that far just to see a

And the DT song that would have been perfect on the way out of the BH

Message-ID: <32E70321.4A4E@sunflowr.usd.edu>
I was surprised to read on the 'Jam recently that ZEBRA was still
around, releasing albums in only selected cities.
Is this the same ZEBRA from the 80's? Randy Jackson, Guy Gelso, and
Felix Hanemann?
ZEBRA and SAMMY HAGAR played at the first arena concert I ever went to,
in 1985 (at the Civic Center in Rapid City, SD). It was a fantastic
show. It was Mardi Gras time, and fans were throwing pearls on stage
(some sort of Mardi Gras tradition, as ZEBRA originally hailed from New
Orleans)
ZEBRA's debut album came out in 1983, when I was a senior in HS (that
should date me...). It just blew me away. They had a unique sound, and
Randy Jackson's vocals were very different than anything else I heard
(reminded me of Jon Anderson of YES). When I first heard DT, I harkened
back to ZEBRA's debut.
Subsequent albums were disappointing. Their live CD from 1990 was
great.
Update anyone?

Don't know about Masquerade, but Believer was on REX (an independent
Christian label that recently went under, from what I understand),
and had distribution through Roadrunner. I could be wrong, but I
really don't think they were on Metal Blade. As far as now, they;ve
been on indefinite hiatus for quite some time. I really hope they
get back together in some form and do something. Very talented
musicians.

Hello,
Well it's me posting once again. First I would like to clear up the
coment on Chester Thompson, the one I am refering to is Santana's
current keyboard player. He is seen in the hammond organ and SY-99,
during Santana's live video, just in case you're wondering (D-Man).
Now, about those keyboard videos; I haven't received any replies, why?
Am I the only keyboardist in this list? I sure hope not. Please help
me out on this one, I am searching for something that will help me
develop my soloing. I would like to find something in the progressive
type playing. Any suggestions are welcome.
DEREK SHERINIAN: Just in case you're reading this, I want you to know
that we want you to make an instructional video PLEASE!!!!! You are an
INCREDIBLE keyboardist!!!

Hello Jammers,
just to address a couple of points on the five or so jams that come every
day.
Jan Hammer
----------
The keyboardist for Mahavishnu Orchestra in my world. Probably his best
work, check it out if you are into jazz fusion or want to try some
technically incredible music at low prices (these are generally available
cheap, they are on a major label). Try "Birds of Fire" or "An Inner
Mounting Flame" for starters.
Mastermind
----------
Mastermind was brought up in the last jam. I saw them again over the
weekend and Bill Berends is truly one of the fastest guitar
players I have ever seen. He plays MIDI guitar as well as electric and
acoustic. They have four albums each with the trademark Berends guitar
and bombastic drums of Rich Berends. "Volume One" reminds the listener of
ELP except all of the keyboard is really guitar synth. "Brainstorm" is
full frontal assault of guitar. A couple of long tracks with reoccuring
themes and a couple of covers "William Tell Overture" and "Ride of the
Valkyries" are mixed with some shorter Bill Berend's originals. "Tragic
Symphony", the third album is a bit more mellow, a couple of softer pieces
and some acoustic guitar is added, less MIDI. The singing gets much
better on this one. "Until Eternity" moves in the direction of fusion
jazz and gives the impression of Mahavishnu Orchestra at times. The best
Mastermind album IMO. Most stores should be able to order the last two
disks from Dutch East India's Prozone label if you are interested. A
remastered version of Volume One came out recently, I think Brainstorm is
currently out of print. Contact Bill Berends at bberends@mosquito.com if
you have any questions. He will get to them when he gets back from his
Japanese tour. Or you can get to his WWW site through my Unsigned Bands
page.
DT- B-sides
-----------
If the band has written as much music as quoted on the jam, then we better
hope the album does well and we get lots of singles filled with B-side
tracks, either that or an EP may be in order after this album. Actually
it might make sense to do an initial tour and then after a few months cut
an EP with a redone or live version of the most radio friendly song off of
the new disk, and then market it to the new fans. Who knows?
Later,
Mike

I'm sorry, but I've seen DT many, many times (at least 5 or 6) being
that I live on Long Island and La Brie was GREAT early on but began to
screech out the highs and just didn't cut it live. Don't get me wrong,
he IS an awesome singer, but there so many other
bands I've seen live that the singers were just amazingly dead on!
When I saw Fates Warning for Inside Out, Ray Alder blew me away..so
crisp and clean. Warrel Dane and NEVERMORE had my mouth on the floor
when I was blessed to see them open for DEATH before Century Media
pulled the funding out from under them.
At this point, I've seen DT so many times and am disappointed that
the new material isn't as remarkable as the glorious WDADU and I&W that
I'd much rather see ANGRA, GAMMA RAY, BLIND GUARDIAN, LABYRINTH,
SYMPHONY X (and these guys live in New Jersey damnit!!!!!), hell...any
European band that will grace our shores once again..ELDRITCH anyone???
I have the impression that LaBrie is the one

Maybe so, but the last 3 or 4 times I've seen them LaBrie didn't hit the
highs cleanly. I can understand if he has a bad phase here and there,
but it is just too noticeable for me.

I'm not sure which shows you saw..I saw them twice for Inside Out and he
was mesmerizing. Hit every note and had excellent phrasing. I have
bootlegs from No Exit where he was obviously drunk and his highs were
ear-shattering and inappropriate, but he has since matured and is an
amazing live singer...made a mess of NOTHING as far as I'm concerned..of
course all in IMHO too ok.
I just got irritated of this JL
> bashing like some others have on the jam... well that's all! :) this isn't
> meant as a flame!
> Jam ON!!! :)
I don't know why you guys think I'm bashing the poor guy..I'm just
saying there are MANY other singers I'd prefer to hear rather than
LaBrie thats all..to each his own. The 'Jam has been a pretty open
forum as far as discussing other bands, DT are GREAT , but at this
moment there is such an abundance of great music and bands, that I
prefer bands like HELSTAR (in their prime at least), ELDRITCH, ANGRA,
SYMPHONY X, etc.... instead of "Awake".
It seems that some place DT on way too high a pedestal..just an
opinion. Its not like I'm saying LaBrie completely sucks man!! Because
I know he obviously doesn't (his stuf on the RUSH Tribute is excellent).
Look...they all have their merits...I prefer my own little triad to
yours..so it goes.

Anyone remember the TriForce from the Legend of Zelda?? Gotta admit

Hey Jammerz!!!
This is major DTC for me! I have yet to see DT live other than the Images
and Words, Live in Tokyo vid, so a friend of mine in the music industry
felt sorry for me. Last year he went to the NAMM show and got and
autographed pic of His Highness, John Petrucci, for me, signed to me:
"To Nick,
John Petrucci" in blue indelible marker. JP is evidently a bit less adept
with a marker than a guitar, because he even got his fingerprints on the
pic in the blue ink.
A year went past, and Shahab, the friend mentioned above, had yet to even
tell me of the picture (because he lost it.).
Well last week, he coughed it up and smiled and said "Don't ever say I
never do anything for you."
The pic is of JP standing w/ JPM100 model #1, wearing his "DESTROY"
motorcycle jacket. It's now framed, pending my making a dozen million
photocopies and wallpapering my room.

I urge ANYONE to go see Gary. I have seen him twice, two years in a row,
at Christmas shows at the Hard Rock cafe in Phoenix. HE IS AWESOME!!!! And
I am not even a guitarist, I am a drummer.. he plaed to a tape, just him,
both times. Plus it was cool cause we were like 5 feet away from him and
he even walked down off the stage by my table. YESSS!!! He is the nicest
guy I've ever met too, he signed like 4 CDs for me, a Hard Rock take-out
menu, and a bunch of pictures from the first year. And he gave my brother
his set list (the HANDWRITTEN one!!) and wrote "To Rob: Hope you are famous
someday, Gary Hoey." (My bro said, "well when I'm a famous guitarist
someday you have to come see me okay??")

Sinter Klaus brought me a copy of Queensryche's "Promised Land" CD-ROM.
Extremely cool and all, but... Why does it have to be so hard?! I beat
Scott Rockenfield's damn drum puzzle, and it still didn't give me the
totem piece! Waaah! I wanna hear the new song...
Observation (stating the obvious):
A Casio keyboard hooked up through an amp sounds *sweet*. Granted, it's
no synth, but it'll pass for now, until I gather up the doughage.
My brother got these toys for Christmas called "Beast Wars". Your
typical Transformers rip-off (very blatant too -- gorillabot is named
"Optimus Primate"). Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there another
series of toys also by the name of "Beast Wars" several years ago? They
were little rubbery action figures standing maybe half the height of a
G.I. Joe, and had animal heads. I've got one somewhere, a tapirman
missing its arms, but no box/wrapping to check the product "name".
Anyone care to shed some light on this conundrum?

Hi.
Someone said Masquerade is a Christian band? ummm..not the one on Metal
Blade. They seem to me as though they are definitely NOT Christian...i
may be wrong but....not that it matters but I don't want anyone buying
it and thinking it's Christian.
Speaking of Christian bands though, I think I remember a band called
Holy Soldier that was nifty. I heard they have a new CD but with a new,
crappy singer and the old singer, Stephen Patrick has a solo disc. I've
been meaning to check it out.
I got the Victor CD i asked about. Hmmmmmmmmm.....odd....yep, it's NOT
rush. I don't know about it yet. Alex must have some pent-up rage
inside of him.
I also got Helloween "The Best - the rest - the rare". Pretty cool...
Michael Kiske is a terrific singer and has definite Geoff Tate sound.
The guitars are also neat.
While in the CD shop, I saw a bunch of stuff that shocked the snarg out
of me, including:
-not one but TWO DIFFERENT HELSTAR cds - I have heard a song or two
from these guys. Any opinions?
- Mayadome - anyone? Big sticker saying something like "PROGRESSIVE
METAL QUINTET". I didn't want to spend any more money today. I got the
Artension a few weeks back and while the guys were certainly good, and
the Keyboard dude likes to play, the lyrics suck and for some reason
it's just not in the CD rotation...i don't know..maybe it will grow on
me.
