It's easy to forget sometimes that they're still people - and most of
the musicians that I've met have been pretty cool, be they in a signed
band or not. In fact, I've found some of the locals to be more arrogant
than the more famous guys. I know I'd be pretty interested if I walked
by a room and somebody was playing one of our songs...

I managed to miss everyone but Pat & Kevin & co. Of course, the fact
that I got there about 15 min before DT went on didn't help that, but,
hey, my own band has to rehearse...
Speaking of which, any of my fellow jammers coming to Fates at Jaxx?
We're selling tickets again... :)

I always answer that question with "I'm still learning." It is a stupid
question coming from a musician, although vocalists are somewhat
different...

Message-ID: <199711242355.SAA12272@daffy.cs.wm.edu>
So, as the lounge version of UaGM came on (man, that's cool as shit! Mike, I
want a copy! :) we milled around in front of the stage for as long as we
could, which you all know by now is standard Jammer operating procedure. Not
only did I not see Pat and Kevin again, nobody came up to say hi. I saw
Blevins' post, so I know you were there. Where were ya? And where the fuck
were the rest of you?? A DT show is not complete to me until I meet a whole
shitload of Jammers. Oh, well, the few Jammers that were cool enough to say
hi were still a pleasure to meet and hang with.
So, some of us got to hang out and talk to Mike after the show. I don't
understand the Ballroom. Here it is, late November in DC, and the artists
apparently have to go *outdoors* to get from the club to the dressing rooms.
WTF is that? I would be pissed if I ever had to play there. (And naturally,
Mike was all but naked after the show. He must have frozen his nipples off!)
Liquid Tension Experiment is being remixed by Kevin Shirley (I guess they
really were happy with his work) and will be released whenever Scott Hansen
said it would be released. (And yes, Scott, I want all that cool stuff you
collected!) Mike thanks whoever got him the videotape of the boxing match.
He has the new Spock's album, and likes it. He said it's a bit straighter
than the last two, but hey, it's Spock's. It's gotta be good.
No one is sure yet who the opening act will be for future legs of the TII
tour. When I asked about the newly announced shows, he said something like,
"Well, that's still the same leg," so I guess you guys will see Big Wreck too.
Enjoy.
Mike told us that they had done Nightmare Cinema the night before, which was
met with a chorus of "Awww!". He felt that the band was more "on" the
previous night in NYC (which makes sense, cause that's home), but I have
nothing to complain about. He also said that now that NC is not as much of a
novelty as it used to be, they're going to have to start thinking of new stuff
to play. Someone suggested Metropolis, and Mike cringed. :)
Oh, if you ever get the chance to hang out and talk to Mike, and there was a
recent boxing match, make sure you ask *first* whether he has heard the result
before discussing it. (Oops. :)
John Myung made an appearance, which was way cool. I got to ask him a little
bit about the Stick. Other than that, we basically just hung out and shot the
shit for a while. That's why I love Dream Theater: they're just like us,
except they play better. :) To all the Jammers I met: hopefully we'll get
together again and jam or take in another DT show or whatever.
Remember: Directly in front of the stage, immediately after the show, is a
good place to meet other Jammers. Try it. And wear Ytse.
To those of you lucky enough to be seeing the coming shows, have a great time.

It depends on what she understands by "finally being able to play" -- which
no one except herself can know 'acourse...
Me personally it reminds of the legend that some instruments were easier to
learn than others... true in the pretty shallow sense that anyone can press
a key on a piano and has a sound coming out of it -- but not too much more
at this level, whereas before getting any useable sound out of a sax most
folks hide in the closet w/an additional blanket pulled above their head
:-) Otherwise you just have to invest a bit of work in everything... also
you better *never* stop learning :-)

Exactly... You can easily tell them apart as the Stick has a very
characteristic attack (believe me, you simply can't achieve this w/a bass
no matter how you experiment w/tunings and *ultra*-light strings... ha ha,
I was so *nuts* about it after King Crimson's Discipline had been released
:-))))... Myung also uses both quite differently. Stick-wise NM is his
show-piece, on TAMP he more plays "economically", obviously b/c he simply
wanted the sound (or probably people otherwise had complained they were
"disappointed" w/ his bass-playing here ;-))

Message-ID: <199711242339.SAA12171@daffy.cs.wm.edu>
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Big Wreck is a good band. It's
unfortunate (for both bands) that they got paired with DT, however, because
they're almost a total mismatch. Nevertheless, they sincerely tried to put on
a good show. IMO, the succeeded.
Their guitarist/singer plays one mean motherfuckin' slide. (And yes, he uses
a lot of guitars. :) BTW, no one told me that Andrew McCarthy was playing
rhythm guitar, or that Fieldy was playing bass. :) Anyway, I was impressed,
and I recommend the CD to anyone who thinks they would like a basic, no-frills
rock band influenced (most heavily, anyway) by Zeppelin and Soundgarden.
Cool BW moment: Rob and Syrinx had seen the show in NJ two nights beforehand,
and were involved in a "Booth!" chant aimed at BW's guitar tech (who we saw a
lot of :). When they started it again last night, BW's singer said "Man,
these Dream Theater guys have some hardcore fuckin' fans. These guys down
here <pointing> have been to New York, New Jersey, and now here. Cool, man."
He also had kind words for DT, but was quick to remind us that "they're coming
out later. We're Big Wreck." I would understand if someone thought he was
being a dick about this, but a lot of the people in the crowd were being dicks
to him, and I thought he handled it extremely well, with humor and with good
music.
So, ok, yada yada yada, demo tracks, Bafu found us in the crowd too (How??),
Rooster, and then Derek walks out with his own spotlight. Yeah, the new guy
started off the show. He sort of strutted out, smiled a wry smile, and made
the hair on the back of my neck stand up as he played the opening... uh, notes
to Lines in the Sand. Wow. This guy's a rock star. He is Mr. Show. He
impressed me all damned night. He's so emotive when he plays. If you watch
him for a couple of minutes, you begin to feel what he's feeling as he plays.
It's magic.
The rest of the band were in great form, too. (James held back some on Metro,
but other than that I have no complaints.) Yes, Myung smiled. (He spoke,
too! See Part 3. :) And who could blame him? They were having a great time.
Some said that JP looked stone-faced. From what I could tell, this was only
through TAMP and the first half or so of Scarred. I was guessing (and it's
only a guess, I could be wrong) that he was thinking about his inspiration.
But during Scarred, Mike and Derek were laughing about something, and then JP
started laughing. So, there's James up there, trying to be all serious,
singing "You say you want everyone happy. Well, we're not laughing" and there
are those three nearly pissing themselves with laughter. It was priceless. :)
Naturally, being a bassist, I was more concerned with JM's hands than anything
else. But when he walked onto that stage with the Stick, I couldn't help but
notice how fucking cool he looked. Black shirt, black leather pants, hair
tied back, Mr. Cool, playing the damned hell out of that thing, and barely
breaking a sweat. I *really* wish I had a camera for that. I don't even know
how to explain what I felt, other than "When I grow up and become a rock star,
I hope I look half as cool as that."
Mike played a drum solo during Ytse Jam, and there was much rejoicing.
I screamed "Please Don't Go!" and I noticed a scant few others did as well,
but most people had no idea what that meant. Hmm.
*Very* low asshole quotient last night. I was much pleased. There was the
one guy directly in front of me holding up his jacket for the band to see.
Naturally I was curious. When I finally realized that it's just some dumb
jacket with James' signature on it, I was pissed. I finally yelled at him to
put it down, and he did. Like, what's the point of that? They already know
what their signatures look like.
Then there was the exceedingly large, exceedingly drunk, exceedingly loud, and
by all appearances totally unstoppable guy behind us. He was screaming
something incoherent for most of the night, but it didn't bother me that much.
However, during PMU, James was holding the mic over the first few rows of us
so that we could sing along with the chorus. This guy decided that if he were
about a foot closer, he could sing so that the entire club would be graces
with his dulcet tones, or something. So, he attempted to steamroll Bafu and I
like cartoon characters. Of course, that ended with one well-placed anonymous
elbow to the sternum. (You're welcome, Bafu.) I bet that guy had one hell of
a morning.
Derek lost power during Scarred, and wasn't happy about it, but it came back
on in time for him to play what he had to play.
I can't say how much these guys all really got into everything and played
their hearts out. (And Metropolis is an awesome closer. I agree, however,
that LitS should be saved for the middle of the set. NM would be a cool
opener.)
After show festivities covered in Part 3...

Message-ID: <199711242316.SAA12094@daffy.cs.wm.edu>
What a day. Syrinx drove from Philly down to my house in Williamsburg on
Saturday so that we could get an early start Sunday. We met up with Scotch
and his gf Kate and were on the road by 12:30. Heard some cool stuff in the
car that Syrinx had brought, like Arena's live album.
Got to Phil Kaplan's house in Maryland around 3:00. Phil had said that he had
a bunch of stuff in his basement, and he wasn't lying. Phil played drums,
Scotch played guitar, and I played this gorgeous 4-string Carvin fretless.
Mmmmm. I may have to seriously consider one of their 6 strings. Among the
highlights of our little pre-show jam were about half of To Live Forever (we
never did get to the part with the harmonies, though :) and Syrinx singing
with us in a hardcore version of 6:00. *That* kicked ass. :) Jason Birzer
was there hanging out with us, and we eventually met up with Ryan (whose last
name escapes me) and we were on our way.
We stopped to eat at the slowest Roy Rogers I've ever been to (but at least it
was still there!). Very interesting place. There were two people working
there as slowly as they could (hourly wage?), yet there was a sign saying that
this restaurant was fully staffed and they were not accepting applications for
emplyoment. It's a wonder that DC hasn't run itself into the ground yet.
Drove through Georgetown and finally made our way to the Ballroom. There was
quite a sizable line outside, so I thought I'd work the crowd and see who was
there from the list. After selling my extra ticket (to Phil's brother, oddly
enough) I walked up and down the line a couple times shouting "Bafu!!!!" and,
occasionally, "Where are all the Ytsejammers?" One person - I mean ONE person
- responded at all. (Hey Cliff!) Where the hell was everyone? Most people
just looked at me as if I had nine heads. Ran into Pat D, and saw Kevin M
from afar ("Red Wings Suck!" :) as we were let into the club.
Interesting layout. Pretty big place, but only a fraction of it is used for
shows. That is to say, the way the walls were placed, you had to be in one
particular corner of the club to see (much less hear, I'd imagine) whoever is
on stage. Who picks these places?
So, there we are, like so many cattle (Moo!), waiting for Big Wreck to come
on, when Syrinx turns to me and says, "Hey, I think this is Liquid Tension
Experiment." And it was. We could tell by JP, MP, and JR's signature sounds
(I'm no expert on Levin). Wow, that sounds good. I can't wait to get my
hands on that stuff! (More about it in Part 3.)
Some time during the playing of the demo stuff before Big Wreck, I heard my
name being called, and turned around to see none other than Rob "Fibanez,
Tenth Avenue Skull Crusher" Barker. I don't know *how* you found us.
And then Big Wreck took the stage...

I know for a fact that JM used the stick in NM and TAmP. (Mike told me that

Falsetto is a vocal technique where one somehow (I'm not exactly sure how,
even though I can do it) sings notes higher than their normal vocal range.
I'm fairly sure that Chris Cornell from Soundgarden does this one hell of a
lot, but a prime example of it would be "Sherry" by Frankie Valli and the
Four Seasons. The falsetto on that one sucks, but you sure can't miss it.
