Hi everyone,
I'm feeling a little under the weather so I haven't posted in the last
20 or so jams that came yesterday and today. And to my astonishment they
were full of music stuff! I'm just posting to screw it up. ;)

They should "rock pretty well" if they're playing 120% peak metallicity
with a spinkle of musical complexity! ;)

I got Primus' The Brown Album today. If you didn't know there's a new
drummer(only known as Brian), well, there is. :) First thing I spotted
was The Return of Sathington Willoughby. I liked the melody of the
original song, but, this one sounds like Les is drunk and is mumbling
about Roosevelt. :P The one thing that stands out the most from my
first(and only so far) listen was the low end! Now usually this is a
good thing for me. But I can't explain it too well but I just thought it
sounded too bassy(I think this is Myung's nightmare ;) ). You can still
hear the guitar but usually I liked to hear how Herb would throw in some
cymbal work. But this guy Brian is a double bass freak, I don't think
this guy has heard of cymbals before signing up with Les and Ler! :) The
songs that I liked right away were Over the Falls, Shake Hands with
Beef(heard it twice on the radio, and once on MTV), Hats Off(Les' life
story :) ), Restin' Bones, Kalamazoo, and The Chastising of Renegade.
That's 6 out of 15 I really liked. But there are two that suck the
imposter's anal hole bald so bad it aint funny. One's TRoSW, and the
other was the last song Arnie. They're done in the same style, take a
dump on an album. Hmm is that where they got the album's name? :P But
overall I liked this CD, though it isn't one of my favorites, it'll
probably grow on me. And I can't mention Primus with a good ol' yell of
"Primus SUCKSSSSSSSS!!!"

Why would you say that unless you wanted them to flame you? If you really
don't want them to, you wouldn't mention it, so they wouldn't get any ideas.
So, I now assume that you wanted to be flamed, and since I'm such a nice guy,
I'll oblige you, you dumb fucking piece of insignificant rat phlegm sitting
on the sidewalk next to some pus that dripped off of the chin of some acne
ridden eunuch teenager with so much syphyllis and gonorrhea pourin' out his
penis you can turn it on and off like a faucet. Oops..eunuchs don't have
penii. Either way, there ya go. Enjoy!
Now, on the subject of songs to put you in a bad mood...make your own. Just
record everything you can think of that brings you down, and dub it all over
the Pat Boone heavy metal album (concerning that..I'm the only one I know
that likes it). Hints for stuff to record on it: Females/males rejecting you,
the screams of small forest animals in anguish, small forest animals
rejecting you, me laughing at you for being a dumb fuck, me rejecting you,
anybody making fun of the size of your genitalia, your genitalia rejecting
you, you crying because of it etc. etc. etc. etc. That should do the job
nicely.

I couldn't help but admire him for his restraint

If it had been anything other than a little girl, they would have been deader
than the chick who's head he wore as a hat. It's a rule that you can't kill
little girls in any movie that has humor in it. But, anyone else is fair
game. So, it wasn't restraint...he had no choice.

Wasn't there talk a while ago (when the advertising spam was
hitting the list) of making the 'jam postable by subscribers
only? Post-length limits were chosen instead, since the ads were
huge. Maybe we should talk about it again? It would stop the
dickless imposter dork(s).

Fugazi is certainly a punk band. I used to stock shelves at a grocery
store with a fellow who worshipped them (and was in a punk band,
himself). His music and mine, of course, overlapped not at all :)
I brought Marillion-Fugazi to work one night, he saw it and asked me
to play it (assuming that any album called 'Fugazi' must be good, since
the band was). I think he listened to about six or seven seconds before
he gave up on it.
And he didn't like DT, either. He respected Petrucci as a guitarist
(not that he listened to DT, but saw some of his stuff in geetar
magazines), but that's about it.
So, after being subjected to several Fugazi albums at the store, I can
safely say that almost nobody on this list would like them. Thankfully,
I graduated from college and don't work there anymore, so I don't need
to put up with everyone else's music. (Of course, they're all saying
the same thing about me and my music :)

What about Jason Bonham? You know, the son of John from Zep. Who, IMO
kicks his Dad's butt all over the drum set, not to mention most other
drummers (except Portnoy of course). Just thought I'd clarify WHICH
Bonham is best IMO. $0.02...........

Naaaaah. I saw a Jason Bonham drum clinic...he was nice and dandy and all,
but he didn't do anything I couldn't do. Which makes him non-amazing :) BTW,
at that same clinic, Ginger Phish from M. Manson (i didn't know it was him at
the time) was givin' Jason a hard time for just playing his dad's stuff and
not being original. That guy's an asshole, but he had cool hair and his
girlfriend was scorchingly hot.

Well, while I agree with Angra, I'm not so sure about
"Ratamahatta". Especially this song. It doesn't even have decent lyrics.
I bet that "Roots, Bloody Roots" or "Attitude" would be better choices.
But again this is the lame thing that brought MTV the bad name.
There's only one moment when I turn my TV set on to see MTV: MTV
Latino's "Headbanger". There was the place where I entered in touch (for
the very first time) with some cool videos that if I expected to see from
MTV Brazil, I'd still be waiting:
- Megadeth's "Angry Again";
- Metallica's "King Nothing";
- Megadeth's "Trust";
- Slayer's "Dittohead";
- Megadeth's "Anarchy in the U.K.";
- Amorphis "My Kantele";
- Amorphis "Against Widows";
- Megadeth's "Hangar 18";
- My Dying Bride's "For You".
And there I also knew some crap, crap, crap, crap bands like
"Marilyn Manson" (is it spelled right?). These guys don't even deserve
airplay.

I'm honest to say that I don't know what you're talking about What
are these "Claudinho & Bochecha"?? Probably some kind of "pagode"??
> Well, enough whining. =)
No whining is enough when it comes to discuss MTV's fate. :-)

Hi, there.
I'd like to know more about this band called "Opeth". I did a websearch but all I could find were some quite brief reviews, but I have been told that they are an interesting band with some orchestration (I love this).
So, I'd appreciate a lot if any of you could send a review about their albums (I heard that they have two albums: "Morningrise" and "Orchid"). The more reviews, the better (I'd really like to see something like the "Rush" reviews :-).
Thank you very much for any comment, Roger...

All I've got to say about Bonham (john, not jason) is that he got DA GROOVE! I have not heard ANYONE, not even his son, that can make the simplest 4/4 beat sound so awesome. Other than that, his technique has never really impressed me; but after all, it's rock 'n roll we're talking about here.

with all this talk about DT playing in Brazil and Chile, could some of you close to the band put in a good word on Panama:)
of course I doubt that'll happen, since we only get band in their downfall. In the eighties we got Quiet Riot and Joan Jett... last April we got Def Leppard:) Ironically, on that very same day, I was seeing DT in Germany. I remind my friends of it all the time:)

Greetings jammers,
This being my first post to the 'jam, I immediately apologize for not having any unique DT content to offer (unless simply mentioning DT counts as content...but I digress).
I am currently in the process of packing up my worldly belongings and moving from Tucson, AZ (hotter than hell) to Cleveland, OH (nice and cold). I was wondering if anyone from the area could give me some recommendations for good radio stations, record stores, etc. Like most of you, I enjoy DT, Rush, FW, KX, etc. I also noticed a few days back that someone mentioned Fates Warning would be in Cleveland on the 15th of August. Any info on any of these topics would be greatly appreciated. Please mail me privately.
Thanks and sorry again for the NDTC.
Cheers,

Damn straight!
As far as I'm concerned this guy, along with Dave Uhrich and Tony MacAlpine (HEAVY emphasis on MacAlpine!!), was the saving grace of the Jason Becker ALS Benfit show in Chicago last Nov. And I drove 13 hours from NYC to see this "shred" extravaganzanza!!!!!!!!..more like "country" shred at some points (Firkins and Wylde are great but there's only so much I can take!)
Chris P. knows what I mean (anyone else there?)..I met him at the Hard Rock party the night before (the night in which all was right with the world and shred was the most common denominator!) and he was real cool to talk to, although he should wear a baseball hat instead of wearing that dead raccoon on his head.
I've heard his latest "Planet Gemini" is so-so, but his first one "No Boundaries" is wall-to-wall shred...it can be a bit overbearing but thats why I like the guy so much..he totally stole the show when he came on stage with his plastic pants and just shredded his ass off!
ps: Chris P. was mega-cool in showing a couple of "New Yawkas" the finest in Italian cuisine and trusting us not to walk off with his house (with his hound from hell inside) Ever get the pic chris?

re: yes' history
anyone else here have the yes box set? one look at that "family tree" made me never want to think about yes' history. i think they got up to yes #10 (and that's been changed, too). no, the yes history talk CAN warrant vomiting. in case you're masochistic, the king crimson "family tree" is as horrid, if not worse. so much for bands staying together for 10-15 years....
hey- ny jammers. there's a big music festival coming up next week called the intel ny music festival. it's a 4 night thing with about 400 different acts. i'm imagining that at least 5 of them will be progressive acts (not that that should matter- i think people should check out all the different shit, but anyways...). www.thegig.com has a list of bands and where they're playing. if any of these bands sound familiar to you and you dig them, go support them. the festival as a whole is awesome. i've gone for the last 2 years, and only my mono will hold me from seeing it all this year. sick or not, i intend to be at the last 2 nights, b/c i think it's worth it. so if you want to check out the music, do so. while most of the bands are local, there are plenty from other places, and there's been big acts, like vernon reid, govt mule (an allman bros. spinoff), todd rundgren and laurie anderson. the page has a bunch of info, so dig it.
......speculating how many people will get analyzed (no pun intended) by skadz and booted in the next few weeks.........
