    When is the new DT album to come out, and when and where does the tour
    start? I've been away from the jam for a while and do not know these things.

    One more thing. I'm hoping to be able to mix down a 24 channel take from
    Dream Theater's concert in Sweden (The I&W tour) Is anyone interested in
    this?????

    Subject: TOP 10 REASONS WHY
    Message-ID: <3.0.1.32.19970601154303.00690710@ee.net>

    My Top 10 Reasons Why Some Jammers Rag on JLB:

    10. DT is one of the very few bands that let their fans get
       close enough to them to have a more "personal" view of
       the band. That's why DT let's Mike Bahr put out certain
       boots, because they're looking for all the mature feedback
       regarding live performances that no one was actually supposed
       have recorded, and they know you won't let them down.
       
    9. Obviously the people who like to rag on JLB all have a much
       better stage presence, which can be seen on all of their latest
       videos, and heard on all of their latest BOOTLEG CD's in which
       they had no idea were ever going to be recorded. I'm looking forward
       to ordering copies of everything you have all performed on, so
       please do post a list of all your professional recordings that
       you've made throughout your illustrious singing career, and let
       us know how we can all purchase copies.

    8. The people who enjoy ragging on JLB do so, because even though
       they can sing and perform so much better than JLB, they are upset
       about not being picked to front DT at their audition. DT obviously
       picked JLB because you all sing and perform so well that you intimidated
       the band, so they chose JLB instead of you.

    7. Everyone that rags on JLB goes to the shows, and even though they
       thought the show was great, when they finally meet JLB backstage
       they actually have the balls to walk right up to him and tell him
       what they think....right there where JLB can actually defend himself!
       They don't just hide behind an email address and a mailing list, they
       really go for it! This justifies them being able to post JLB insults.

    6. Some of them are not actually DT fans, they are undercover agents who
       are trying to convince Ytsejam newbies that DT actually sucks. They
       work for the alternative music industry, and they're deathly afraid
       that people will find out that JLB and DT are all actually very
       talented, and the alternative CD sales will go down as more prog
       bands start selling...then they'll be stuck with a warehouse full
       of non-prog CD's they can't sell.

    5. They're hoping that JLB will read the jam and see their posts,
       and feel really bad, not want to do shows, and eventually quit
       the band...that way they can try auditioning for DT again and show
       the world just how much better than JLB they really are!

    4. Some of them really like JLB, but what the hell, we're on a roll...

    3. They realize there are a lot more positive things they could be
       talking about regarding DT, but all that stuff gets used up on NDTC,
       and they know posting negative about Mike Portnoy might actually get
       a response and make them look stupid at the next clinic.
       So, what's left to fill the negative post quota except for JLB?

    2. People might get upset and start flaming them if they pick on
       anyone else (like Fates Warning or something), and since picking
       on JLB has such a low rebuttle post ratio, gee I guess it's safe.

    And the #1 reason why people rag on JLB:
    1. There was a lack of idiotic posts which tend to lower DT's opinion
        of the mentality of the Ytsejam, so they figure one sure fire way
        to convince the band that we're a bunch of idiots is to start
        picking on the band members. I'm sure they're proud to know that
        we're their fans now.

    OK, well I'm sure that this post will stir up some feedback, but
    what I would really like to see is James start posting in here himself.
    Mike P., if you're reading this (which I know you do), talk JLB into
    starting an email account and getting on the list (if he isnt already).
    I would love to see how certain threads evolve then....maybe you guys
    could give some of these professionals a chance to take JLB's place
    on stage for a couple nights and impress us with their calm, cool,
    and extraordinary vocal talents. I'm sure they'll have the audience
    wrapped around their finger and screaming for more.

    Until then, I'm removing Ytsejam subscription instructions from my
    web site. Not as a statement to the list, but to prevent any would-be
    jammers from hearing the negative slander about their favorite
    band members. Yes folks, some people sign up because they love JLB.

    Think I'm over-reacting? Well maybe you're right, but that's how strongly
    I feel about Dream Theater...as a whole.

    A lovely young lady named Candice Night, hence the band name 'Blackmore's
    Night', her voice is pure gold too. I think the album is Japan only at the

            I finally got my shirt that I ordered from the officail site.
            Very cool long sleeve with a colage of the albums and
            a picture of the band and dates on the back.

            Watching the 'Worlds Fastest Man' competition on
            CBS today, a AT&T commercial comes on. Its the one that
            shows a bunch of people including pat riley and Christopher
            Reeve talking with wheelchair kids on a tv screen.
            Anyways, at the end, I pick up the song they were playing
            in the background and the music and melody is the same
            as SAVATAGE's 'Heal my Soul.' The lyrics were different though.

    I never read in any of the Ytsejam rules that a Ytsejammer isn't allowed to
    listen to Alanis.

    I personally like Alanis, and I feel that she does have a lot of talent.
    If you don't like her, that's fine. But that doesn't mean that no one else
    shouldn't either. I feel she does have a very good voice. Don't just base
    it on the songs you heard on the radio, there are others on the cd where
    she sounds even better. And about the lyrics... music is a form of art,
    and just like any other art it's always been based on one's feelings and
    emotions. So she wrote about what she felt. There's nothing wrong with
    that.

    Again, just because you like one type of music (prog for example) doesn't
    mean that you can't like anything else. And if you don't like her stuff,
    or whatever else, that's cool, you're entitled to your opinion. But don't
    rip on others for what they like.

    I haven't seen CB4, but Fear of a Black Hat is pretty hysterical. You
    should all be warned, however, that a great deal of this movie is
    practically a word-for-word remake of Spinal Tap (rap instead of metal).
     If that won't annoy you, it's definitely worth seeing.

    Incidentally, it was made by Rusty Cundieff. The only other movie of his
    I've seen was Tales From the Hood, which was utterly without merit.
    Terrible. Revolting. Does anyone know if he's got any other decent
    movies?

            First off, I never even REMOTELY alluded to that last statement.
    Second, I think there's room for music of all stripes...but it doesn't mean
    I have to like it.
            And for the record, I'm not jealous because these "artists" have their
    music on the radio; have major recording contracts and make me writhe in
    agony when I hear the music...I'm totally happy being where I am with my
    band now. Being in these band's positions would be a bonus, but that won't
    happen right now. The rock masses have turned their back on the music they
    grew up on, and hard rock's just not what it used to be. Someday,
    though...give it about 3 or 4 years...the rock we grew up on will come back.

    Didn't you post something a while back that anyone writing things like this would be banned for life?

    It is The United States Of America. not *North* America or *South* or *Central*. We are part of the North America continent.

    >You wouldn't hear French people referring to Italians as Europeons, >would you?

    No, but that's because the continent of Europe is made up of several countries, just like North America is. But the USA is made up of States, not countries. If when the maps were drawn up that all the countries in Europe were known at States, then yes, French, Italians, et al would all be known as Europeans.
