This is the only KX album I have and I don't like it AT ALL. Is this a
poor representation of their work? I can't believe all the rave reviews
of these guys based on my hearing Dogman.

Oh sure, do this with the KX discs, not with DT...:)

Every now and then I see posts that claim Satriani was Vai's teacher.
I also remember reading that Satch had played the guitar for two
years till Vai came along and he only taught him for a couple of
months.
In that case, it's quite a lot of courage to emphasize the connection
between those two. I gather they're more like two friends than a
teacher and a student. Rightfully so, I might say.

Alright.
About "One Thing" by Megadeth, it's 4'38 rocker. This song starts with
splendid SE and followed by DETH style guitar riff. Yeah,this one is
RIFF-ORIENTED DETH-ish ROCKER. You can hear this style on their latest 3
releases (CtE,YOUTH,CW),but this one is not as good as their previous
releases,so dropped from international tracks. But MEGADETH is MEGADETH so
better than the songs by crappy B-class metal bands.
Thanks.

Ooops sorry if my last post came up twice.
Okay, yesterday I picked up Queensr˙che's Hear in the Now Frontier and
Faith No More's Album of the Year.
Queensr˙che(Hear in the Now Frontier)- Well I like the CD but I like my
other Qr CDs better. Tate's voice sounds good, he doesn't try to do a
ear splitting shriek(i before e right?). The guitars aren't doing
anything too fancy, I guess. The drums are good to me. And the bass
still sounds great! And isn't that what counts? :)
Faith No More(Album of the Year)- Okay now I know some 'jammer is coming
out with with their own CD sooner or later, and here is my tip to
ya...Include the lyrics! The CD is great but I hate it then there are no
lyrics in the liner notes! Yeah just thought of something else, did FNM
find out how to make their own paper from Martha Stewart. It looks and
feels like it is going to fall apart.

I've always wondered this: There is a way to tell who sends a
message from a message ID, isn't there? It sounds really trivial, but
I'm really curious how this works. It just sounds like a quick email to
postmaster@wacko.com (or whatever that site was), and ask them who sent
out the email with that message ID.
Thanks to Merlo for clearing that last one up, I almost thought
that was him for a short second.

Yeah, when something's played in sort of a linear way, it's a lot less
difficult to pull off, but when you really have to split your brain -- a la
Stu or Michael Manring (I'm talking bassists here, obviously) -- I just get
off the bus.
Of course I had a similar experience playing "Is It Luck" by Primus. I
actually feel a little funny about the Claypool thing, as I was playing with
my own, somewhat less convincing, version of his "clawhammer technique,"
when they showed up on the scene. Resultingly, everyone wanted to hear my
take a whack at Claypool's stuff. Which, for the most part, isn't really
that difficult ("Tommy the Cat" being a notable exception...one of the
guitar magazines -- "Guitar World," I think it was -- tried to transcribe
the song for a four-sting. It was hysterical...you had to retune the bass
twice in midsong and do all of these strange stretches and everything). But
I never could figure out "Is It Luck?" I even watched Les play in live a
couple of times and couldn't figure out what the hell kind of thing he was
doing. It was amusing. Of course, the main riff was transcribed in "Guitar
Player" a few months later and I was sitting there saying "Oh....is that
all?" It isn't hard, just strange.

The best SF ever was this hacked one that was at my local 7-11. It

I'll agree that Theater of Pain is not up to par with the first two albums,
but the Crue put out some solid songs after. Plus, Home Sweet Home kinda
set the pace for metal ballads to come. After that, every band was writing
the typical cheese ballad, and basically that's what MTV thrived off of
between 1985-1992.

The reason the song writing changed was because it had been 5 years since a
Crue album had been written, and in that 5 years, MTV changed their
formula. Also, Motley shot themselves in the foot and lost many fans by
changing singers. Due to their self-inflicted popularity decrease, and
upward alternative trend, I believe the Crue jumped on the bandwagon a bit
in order to try to salvage some record sales. However, I feel they made
the change with style. They still didn't sound like anyone else, and I
thought the songs were well written - even if they didn't sound like Motley
Crue. I heard a lot of Beatles influence, and stuff I just never heard in
any of their previous work. I do not feel the same way about Generation
Swine. I think the songwriting on this album has gone to hell, and even
with the restoration of a better vocalist, the songs simply can't be saved.
The guitars sound like shit, the drums sound like shit, the riffs are
boring, and the vocal lines just can't save the tunes, even though they're
not bad for what the music offers. Personally, I think Vince is the only
feature of this album, but he just can't save it. It's a shame too,
because I was really looking forward to this album. Long live the Wildhearts.

Metal never left. Glam's dead because the music sucked. Kind of like
Disco. If the music was good then the Village People would still be
playing arenas. Like the old saying goes, the cream rises to the top.
I wouldn't say that Cream rises to the top because in my opinion,
Alternative is the most popular thing around (and I hate it) and that
certainly isn't cream.
Glam was cool, some of the best music ever made was with big hair (3 cans
of hairspray and 2 gallons of make-up, it's a wonder that the hairspray
companies didn't go bankrupt after the 80's) Regardless, if you look back
most bands that were popular and good, went with the big hair, and I liked
it (more then than now) but still....Metal will make a comeback.. it's just
a matter of time. Until then, I will listen to the bands that survived the
weed-out.

Steve had written:
I'd also highly recommend Marillion, but be warned that they
have a very different style than DT or Rush. They don't have a very
heavy sound (not metal). Instead they build power from their overall
sound and wonderful vocals. I'd recommend first trying either
"Misplaced Childhood" or "Clutching at Straws". Both are among my
favorite albums. It may take a while to get used to their style
but it's worth it. Try those albums first since some of their other,
newer ones are more mellow and may not appeal to you as much.
Enjoy!
I was disappointed when I bought Marillion, it wasn't what I expected at
all, so many people had recommended it to me and I got it and I was so
disappointed that it's collecting dust. Oh well....

Shadow Gallery has another cd out that pre-dates Carved In Stone.
I've seen it, but never when I had the urge to buy cds. It's supposedly
been re-released on Magna Carta, and I know it's still available on
import. To me they sound like a mix of Dream Theater and QR, but there's
an element that sounds like neither of these bands as well... when you
hear it, you won't think "That sounds like Dream Theater" or "This sounds
like Queensryche"... you'll say "Wow! Shadow Gallery is pretty damn
good!"

Superior is a very, very, unique band. Raw, but precise heavy
progressive metal. Not consumed by flash or anything... just powerful
moving melodies and really interesting songwriting. I hear a similarity
to Queensryche and Savatage, but I don't know why they come to mind...
Superior doesn't sound very similar to any other CD I own. Not a shred
album, but recommended to fans of DT's heavier music, and fans of metal a
la Savatage.
I personally have been 100% unsuccessful on my attempt to get into
Marillion. I only have Brave, and it's not very progressive... it's not
very monumental... it's just not very impressive to me. This is just MY
opinion though. It sounds like it'd appeal to Pink Floyd fans (one of
which, I am not). I heard a snippet or two of Marillion with their
previous singer, and it sounded a little more alive... but you could play
Brave on an elevator and not get anyone's toes tapping.
I have to disagree with anyone who considers Marillion to be more
prog than DT or Rush... it's all a matter of opinion, so I'm not getting
on anyone's case. I just haven't been able to get sucked into the world
of Marillion, despite multiple attempts, and I don't hear anything really
"prog" in the music I've heard.

Remember when Mark would flame people for saying "That band rules"
or "That band sucks"? He's growing. In the wrong direction. The only
reason Marillion can kick DT's ass is because they put DT to sleep with
their music. Marillion is more effective than NyQuil when I'm having
bouts with insomnia. :)
