    Wow. This is starting to make me feel that we have a pretty damn cool radio station here in Maine. I was spent most of yesterday either reading or driving around, and on the same radio station I heard BMS 3 times. Yesterday alone. And I was only listening for a total of maybe 5-6 hours. Mainers must just like the title of the song and listen to it in the hopes it keeps us warm for awhile.

    Since YNM premiered last Thursday (that was the official radio station "New Music" time) I haven't heard it played. When BMS was premiered several people called up to say how cool it was...there wasn't that response to YNM.

    Well, there's one good thing about Maine...

    Boy, that's a tough one. There are so many to choose from... Well, off the top of my head (and I'm half awake right now, so I might not be remembering all that I should...), I'd have to say the outro to "Scarred" after James says "I'm inspired and content..."

    That gets me going (as well as the rest of that song, for that matter) every time!

    Buh-Bye for now,

    Wouldn't we all, though. :) Although, I'm sure many of us think they still are.

    But, as an example, look back at your own musical "evolution". What were you listening to 10 or 15 years ago? Have your musical tastes changed in that time? I know mine have. Hell, 15 years ago, I was one of those Top-40 listening people that we make fun of all the time. I listened to somebody like Metallica back then, and all I heard was noise. Over time, though, my tastes have evolved/grown/changed, or whatever you want to call it. If you had asked me at any point during that time period if I thought I'd ever get tired of my current fave, I'd have told you "No", just like you did about I&W. I can't picture myself right now ever getting bored of/tired of DT's music, but unless my past history contradicts itself, I probably will.

    My point is that this happens, to some extent, with everyone. Your tastes may only change a little, someone else may end up with a full 180 like mine, but it always happens - or else we'd all still be listening to "Pop Goes The Weasel" on our Fisher-Price toys - (my daughter's current favorite, although she does headbang a little to FII. Gotta bring 'em up right).

    And because of this personal change, a person shouldn't be so quick to blame a band when they put out an album of material the fan doesn't like, because they changes are hapeening on *both* sides of the transaction.

    Yes. I hear this. But I think that it is a mix between sex and six... :-)

    Sure. Dave himself said that some songs would have different lyrics if they were written now.

    Oh, and I just bought "that" album by "that" band. I don't like it very much, I must say. :-( Maybe it will grow on me, but I only like the songs that I listened to before.

    CDs for sale:

    They're new, they're fresh and they have only been played once !! Trust me. Genesis Calling all Stations and ReRoad as they say in Japan. $8 each US postpaid or, let's do both for the special one-time package deal price of $18, US postpaid. Call it the "right brain special". Yankees get first dibs but international orders will be considered if these hot babies dont sell domestically.

    Random Rumblings:

    1) Merry Axemas is OK, but a bit of a letdown. Not enough creativity given the all-star lineup that was assembled.

    2) Stratovarius' 1997 release "Visions" is awe-fuckin-some !! Angra fans will get all sorts of excited over this disk. Buy it and ask questions later.

    EASILY, the live version of AH/TKH that was done for the fix and Europe 97 shows. Hearing "the new jazzy part" let me know that DS had arrived in style.

    Wow. I think that the reason why I love this band is that almost every song gives me chills. I just started to play Orchid and the melodies are fuckin' killers, but the interludes are, are, are... I can't describe. It's a mix of subtle with a state of nirvana.

    Specially "The Twilight is My Robe". It is a 11-minute orgasm. Specially the acoustic part at 3:35.

    BTW, I just noticed some similarities between Megadeth's "Sin" and the seventh song from the second album by "that" band: go to sin and 2:11. Then, start to sing: "Die, by my hand/I creep across the land/Killing first born men".

    Particularly when the reviewer's idea of "revolutionary" is something like Oasis. I get the impression this guy wouldn't recognize a revolution if somebody ran up to him with a tri-cornered hat and a musket. (Sorry for the blatant U.S. reference here. I don't know what other countries wore to their revolutions. So sue me.)

    Hello, As far as tingly stuff, here's one part from each album: WDADU: *OAMOT: The keys over the end section are IMHO inspirational. IaW: *LtL: Though the Whoa does it for me, what reallly gets me is the classical/flamenco acoustic solo. Nearly gets some tears every time... LatM: *AH/TKH: The Another Hand intro MAKES this song Awake: *SDV: This over the Mirror/Lie transition. When the additional instruments kick in over the piano in the beginning. Or just the whole damn song. ACoS: *ACoS: The segue from the acoustic guitar in the intro. When that 7-string kicks in, it's allllllll balls and chunk. FII: *PS: Same as everyone else, that line right before the solo.

    I think that's quite enough for now, don't you? -- ______________________________________________________________ "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter..." -Yoda, the Jedi Master ______________________________________________________________ Andrew Forcier a.k.a.

    Hi There!

    Whoa! What a week I had.... 3 tests last week and 3 more this week. I can barely keep up with the jams.

    Anyway, I just got the Spinning Years CD from Ryan Whitaker. I know everyone said so, but I'll say it yet once again: Awesome CD! Great job Ryan! Every DT fan should have one of those.

    By the way, is it just me, or the chord progression in the guitar solo to In The Dead Of Night is very similiar to the guitar & keys solo in ToT... like, VERY similiar, like, almost the same? ;-)

    Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 14:23:03 -0400 From: rsjm@thezone.net (Jeff Taylor) To: ytsejam@ax.com Subject: Goosebump moments, other stuff Message-ID: <199711231820.OAA11765@firma.thezone.net>

    Hi!

    My all time favorite DT moment would have to be the dialog in the middle of Voices ("Do you know that reality is immaterial?"). That part sends shivers up and down my spine every time I hear it. Also, the part in Erotomania after JP plays arpeggios up and down the neck and then he just sits on one chord while KM plays a beautiful piano line underneath. That part sounds so simple yet beautiful to my ears.

    As for non DT songs, APSOG is full of goosebump-y moments, but a couple that stick out are Part IV, after the "Ooooooh" vocals, where the whole band just kicks in on this nasty riff, the "Shoot me!" in Part VII, and "And I know we can't turn back all the years" in Part VI. Savatage also has their fair share of shiver-inducing moments: the vocal section at the end of Chance ("All the time believng that it now came down to nothing but this chaaaaaaance!"), Alone You Breathe (the whole thing), and Not What You See (especially the layered vocals at the end). I can't wait for Wake Of The Magellan!

    It's moments such as the ones listed above (and many more) that make me listen to the kind of music that I listen to. When I turn on the radio or Muchmusic, I rarely, if ever, hear anything that makes me go "Hey, that sounds pretty cool. I've never heard anything like that before." Consequently, I rarely ever pick up a CD because I heard a song on the radio that I liked. Out of all the CDs I've bought in the past year, I may have heard only 2 or 3 of those songs on the radio or on TV. Mostly I just stick to my favorite bands (such as DT, Van Halen, and Faith No More) or recommendations from the Ytsejam (like Fates Warning and Savatage). Like many of the people on this list, I find myself getting frustrated at the current state of the music industry, and it's great when a band comes out with a song like JLMB that perfectly voices those frustrations. So to the bands I've mentioned above, and all the other bands who stay true to what they believe in, I say "Keep up the great work!". Someday the time will come when this kind of music finally gets recognized for the truly great music that it is. And I'm sure that for many of us, that day can't come a moment too soon!

    If you've made it this far, thanks for listening! Talk to ya later!

    My first concert experience came in 1987 at the INXS Kick "Calling All Nations" tour, and it is very sad news indeed to hear that someone who helped kick off (no pun intended) a journey for myself had to take his own life and end his own. He'll be missed by many people, children of the 80's AND 90's.
