Are you saying that DT should not have done the Fix for '96 shows? I
am not lucky enough to live in the NY/NJ area. I just have to put up with
all those damned NY/NJ transplants down in Miami. ;) DT made a nice gesture
to the fans by doing Notheast and the Europe mini-tours, which they did not
have to. The least we could do is reciprocate and respect their wishes.
(Read the following in your favorite evangelist's voice) But I must
admit that I have faced TEMPTATION, AND I have seen the YTSE-ANGEL and the
YTSE-DEVIL on my shoulders. The angel saying, "Be respectful of DT and wait
for the official release of the new material." The devil saying, "Go for it,
offer those people with Fix boots anything ... INCLUDING YOUR SOUL!!!"
BUT I have RESISTED the YTSE-DEVIL and have REACHED OUT to the
YTSE-ANGEL and all I can say for those whose SOULS are TEMPTED to to follow
the EVIL and IMMORAL ways of the YTSE-DEVIL, on their shoulder is, "Better
to save the mystery than surrender the secret"

'Just because' is going to have to do. You don't need to know why you
shouldn't do it. If you distribute them, Dream Theater are probably not
going to play songs for us in the future before they release. So go and
enjoy distributing the bootlegs because it's probably the last time you'll
get the opportunity.

I just got my copies of InstruMENTAL I and III the other day from Tim
Lodge. Good Stuff. I had heard I before (got a dub from my GF), but this
is the first I have heard of III. The music is great. The quality of the
source is alright, although it is a bit muffled and sometimes it fades a
little. The only thing I can say is be prepared for a shock when the
vocals come in. I have heard Chris Collins before, but his singing still
frightens me (and any animals in a 12 block radius).
For those who have not had the misfortune of hearing Collins sing, this
may help. Picture a cat with a cordless mic headset on. Now picture that
same cat, secured to a bungee cord by his testicles and dropped from the
Sears Tower. Now try to imagine what it would take to make you cringe
once you are used to hearing that cat screech every time he reaches the
end of the cord. *That* sound is probably still better than Chris'
vocals. Much Better. :)
But as usual, the music is great, and worth getting the disc for. You can
get to Tim's CD page through the DT homepage. Be patient, it does take a
while for him to get the CDs to you, but they're pretty good.

Hello. I've been working on updating Robert's program (with his
permission, of course) for the past few months and it's finally finished.
All future versions will be done by me, so you can visit my homepage for
updates.
If anyone is interested in obtaining the newest version of RQ's CD Player,
e-mail me. If you'd like more information, go to my homepage at
http://pw2.netcom.com/~l_glenn/index.html or
http://pw1.netcom.com/~l_glenn/index.html if net traffic gets too
congested. It won't be downloadable from an FTP site until next week when
I can get it uploaded to WinSite. With the 1MB limit on Netcom WWW pages,
I can't put the program there so this is the only option for me.
Let me know if you want just the executable or need the whole installation
program. If you get just the executable, you must have had a previous
version installed to run the program.

Duh. A country fan could give us at LEAST as good of an argument as we
could on why our respective music is better than theirs. It's just that
different people like different music, don't sweat it.
Don't dislike music because you think people want you to dislike it. It
sucks. You talk down as if only lesser beings like country or alternative.

Subject: Fix, JP Guitar Playing, etc.
Message-ID: <970319235643_79973307@emout15.mail.aol.com>
Okay Boyz and Girlz-
My turn to jump on the Fix boot bandwagon. I want to thank the rest of you
kind jammerz out there who set me straight a few jams ago. I am sorry that I
promoted the thought of others making a CD boot of one of the Fix gigs. In
my fit of joy and fanaticism, I overlooked the fact that, well... the band
basically asked us not to. Whether you are pro-bootlegging (which I am) or
anti-, it shouldn't matter for the simple reason that the band kindly asked
us to refrain. They have been remarkably lenient with bootlegging in the
past, even supportive to an extent, and I certainly would not want to
jeopardize future bootlegging endeavors. I mean, I'll bet that the band
would not care as much once an album is released, so why not wait until then
to make a CD boot? For me personally, the issue is not completely concerning
the new material (although it SMOKES - I wuz at the first Fix show!) so much
as it is the way they changed around the old material! The way they
interwove pieces of ACOS, and the way they threw in new "jam" parts in at
least 3 tunes, and the way they TOTALLY reworked CIAW... they are the main
reasons why I want the whole show on CD. I say, just wait until an album
comes out, then release a CD boot of an entire show. (You paying attention,
Mike B.? :-) )
'Nuff said about that. Now, onto another issue that's been eating away at me
for a couple of days, now. I don't have the actual post in front of me so
I'm winging it here. Someone had said in a previous jam that while JP's
guitar playing was amazing from a technical point of view, he lacks "soul".
(I think that was the right term.) Whoa!!! This threw me for a loop. I
totally disagree with this, IMHO. Now, let me point out that I'm not a
guitar player (except for the occasional air-guitar), so maybe there is some
evidence supporting this argument. All I can go by is how his playing makes
me feel. I can honestly say that JP has the rare ability to, at times, hit
notes that cut to the very core of me and move me nearly to tears. I think
that he plays with more emotion than any other guitar player I've heard.
Another who was able to do this to me was Criss Oliva (rest in peace, my
man... your music lives on in my heart.) I was just very surprised to see
that some people doubt JP's emotion in playing.
Finally, (I know this is getting long) a couple of DT "incidents" at some of
the shows I have attended... at my very first show (and one of the very first
on the I&W tour), some scantidly(sp?)-dressed female in the front row grabbed
hold of KJL's silk shirt and nearly dragged him into the crowd. A good
balancing act seemed to be the only thing saving him that night. Also, at
another gig, I saw KJL get into a VERY heated argument with somebody on their
bus. The door was shut and the angle wasn't that good, so I couldn't hear
what wuz said or who it wuz being said to, but I could read lips, and whoboy,
someone wuz getting an earful. As near as we could guess, he was laying into
a pizza delivery guy (no joke)... I can hear it now: "Where's the F**king
Mush-F**king-rooms, you slimy f**king prick?!?" Heh heh heh... funny stuff.
That's all for now, Jammerz. Peace! -Matt T.

not kosher.

Perhaps not, but bootlegging can be a very real financial hazard, and it is
a blatant violation of copyright laws that were instituted for a very good
reason.
With regard to privileges, they didn't have to play the Fix shows. They
didn't have to premiere some of the songs at clinics. They could very well
have let us all suffer til the CD did finally come out. It was awful damn
nice of them to do that for us. In this respect, you DO *owe* it to them to
follow the one wee little request of not taping the shows.

Last time I checked, DT isn't selling anything right now... which does not
give anyone leave to take up where they left off, against their wishes.

Boy, you're cynical. And I thought I was bad. You may not "owe" them
anything, but you're sure as hell showing them a lot of disrespect

You (generally speaking) OWE them not to tape their music (or buy it from
those who did) when they specifically asked that you NOT do this thing. It
is *their* material, not yours, legally copyrighted, you are legally
reprehensible, and therefore they have every right to ask this thing of you.
THAT is the end of the story.
It's a good thing you people don't like bands like Def Leppard, who have a
reputation for 4 years between CDs. 2 years is about the *average* amount
of time between CDs, and it's barely been 2.5 since _Awake_ was released,
1.5 since _ACoS_ was released. Blueballs, indeed....

Ok, here is a something for all of you to try.
Preporation:
Step 1: Get a piece of paper, and write on it your 3 favorite bands.
Step 2: Write your favorite album by each band next to their name.
Step 3: List the albums in orfer of release date.
Imagine that you have never heard these albums in your life. Listen to the first album on your list, but pretend that it's a band you've never heard of. Listen to this as if it were the 1st album of some imaginary band. Listen to this album over and over.
"Hey, cool. This band rocks. This is just the kind of music I listen to, ect..."
Now, after listening to this album a few times, imagine that this imaginary band makes a 2nd album. Listen to the second album on your list, and again pretend that you've never heard it, but also pretend it's from the same imaginary band that made the other album.
"WTF? This sounds nothing like the last album. This isn't what I was expecting at all. Man I'm pissed. Why can't they write stuff that sound like their last album. Well, now that I've heard it a few times, this stuff is sort of cool in a different way. Wow, this band has talent, they can kick ass in more than one style. They've got variety. This band rules!"
Finaly, listen to the imaginary bands 3rd release.
"This just SUCKS! Man, the last two albums were both great, but what happened to these guys. They sound so different. They SOLD OUT! I hate this album. I'm never going to listen to it again. This band really dissapointed me. I mean, listen to the other two albums and compare it to this one. These guys suck now. Why don't they just do what the fans want and make albums that sound the same?"
Sound famillier?
My point?
Lighten up!
There's lots of kinds of cool music, and you can only do so much in any style before wanting to move on and develope in a new direction. So, if your favorite band sounds different on their next album, maybe it's because they wanted to try something new. You don't have to like it, but don't dislike it just because it sounds different. Try listening to the new stuff as if it was your first time to hear the group, and instead of compareing it to their older stuff, just decide if you like it or not. Maybe you still won't like it, but maybe you'll see it differently and like it after all.
Just a thought, sorry to take up your time :)
