    << > Now, that song it s supposed to be a DEMO, is there a definitive version,
    > or that version was meant to be on FII, but had to be cut from it?
     
     Every song (including the ones on the album) was demoed. That's just how the
     system works. Then they picked 11 of them to record somewhere nicer than
    JP's
     basement (or wherever they did the demos), and that became the album. The
     songs that weren't selected were never (at least, as far as I know, and maybe
     MP could clarify if I'm wrong) re-recorded after they were demoed.
    >>

    ****That is all correct, except for the fact that all the demos were recorded
    at our rehearsal studio at the time in New Jersey....
    (8 track ADAT with me & JP engineering & "producing")

    The only stuff we "re-recorded" at Avatar with Kevin Shirley is what is on the
    album.

    <<<But, by and large, the reason a band gets a producer is
    to give objective opinions on your work. It's often difficult, if not
    impossible, to critique your own work to the point that you're willing to make
    the kind of changes DT did to their material. It's usually equally difficult
    to tell yourself that you sound bad, and something's worth doing over. That's
    what the job of the producer is.

    "You can play that more cleanly."
    "Nah, man, that's my best."
    "Try it again."

    ***Correct-a-mundo again D-man,

    Although, "I" am of the opinion that this band already has plenty of good
    chefs in the kitchen, and am more than comfortable doing it ourselves like we
    do the demos.
    (or the LTE album for that matter....KS only mixed the tapes after the
    sessions)

    However, Some of the other guys don't neccessarily agree and still prefer
    having that "outside ear"...it's yet to be decided which way we'll go with
    next record...

    Maybe I missed the sarcasm but....

    I would say that almost everything they did from The Wall and prior was the
    best music Floyd ever made. Not to say that The Final Cut, Momentary Lapse
    of Reason, and The Division Bell (probably the best post-Waters album) are
    not excellent albums, but personally I think the pre-Final Cut albums are
    the best. Even David Gilmour has said that Wish you Were Here was his
    favorite album, along with Richard Wright. Floyd got lucky with the DSOTM?
    I want a whole lot of whatever it is you are on dude.....

    In a message dated 98-04-19 19:03:46 EDT, Rocky joked:

    << i never heard of drum tabs, maybe cause it's not that hard to figure out
    what
     someone is playing on drums, especially if your a drummer. but hell what do i
     know? im just a guitarist/keyboardist.. well, i am an air drummer too, but i
     dont think that counts >>

    Now after reading way too many Rocky posts, I am sure he meant this to be a
    joke. I don't think drums have ever been TABBED, but there seems to be a
    standard for representing drums in STANDARD NOTATION. I'm a guitarist, but I
    try to read Modern Drummer (and Keyboard and Bass Player) any chance I get. I
    thought it was strange of Rocky to say that it's "not that hard to figure out
    what someone is playing on drums". True - it is hard to mistake a bass drum
    for a snare, but it is also to be fully aware of ALL the possible drums
    (including PERCUSSION). When I put drums on the Drum Machine to play along
    to, sometimes I don't know what the hell type of percussion is being played by
    the drummer. If anything is lacking in my personal transcription process,
    it's being able to figure out what instruments are producing uncommon rock
    sounds. In other words, if Mike Portnoy decides to bring in some percussion
    he is going to possibly overdub - I'll find the instrument by simply scrolling
    through all the possible percussion instruments. I haven't progressed to the
    point of instantly recognizing percussion sounds. So, that has been one of
    the biggest barriers I have to overcome in transcribing. I would also love to
    be able to pick out ALL the parts in an orchestra score.

    For those of you who think transcribing is a waste of time, you obviously
    don't realize the benefit this provides to your own personal compositions. It
    becomes so much easier figuring out how to PRODUCE the sounds you hear in your
    head when you realize what instrument you are hearing. It also helps when you
    hear a sound that doesn't come from ANY insturment - at which point you will
    have to go VAI and make the sound possible. And know, I'm not a huge Vai fan.
    I just recognize genius when I hear it.

    Hi guys (and gals;),
     This stereo equipment thread is of particular interest to
    me, so maybe I could get some help/opinions before it gets
    dropped.
     The only home stereo system I've ever owned is a JVC
    micro/mini system that does a good job in my small bedroom.
    However, since I'll be moving into my own house soon, I'd
    like to get something nice.
     What I'm looking at now is;

    Yamaha: 70 watts/channel for front, 35 watts/channel for 2
    rear, 8 DSP modes receiver.

    Boston Acoustics micro series surround sound rear speakers.

    Boston Acoustics front speakers- 2-way towers (not too
    big).

    Boston Acoustics 3-way center channel speaker.

     I want this to sound great with music as well as movies,
    but I dont know that much about stereo equipment.
     Could anybody help me with some advice in this area. The
    sales rep.told me the speakers are matched with each other
    as well as being matched with the receiver.
     I've seen packages in Circuit City ads that are less $,
    but don't seem as nice. This system will run about $1000.
    Also, is using a subwoofer while listening to CD's a good
    idea, or are they really only for movies?
     Sorry this is so long, but I really value the opinions of
    the people on this list (fellow DT fans). Please give your
    suggestions on this- privately if you wish.
     Thanks VERY MUCH!

    Dave
    P.S; I can't wait to experience LIVE IN TOKYO on a system
    like this.

    Hello everybody,
    I have received Open All Night's sample cd "into the great unknown"
    yesterday and the guys have asked me to post a review of it here. So there
    we go.

    Contents:
    A 13 song compilation including 2 songs by Dream Theater (peruvian skies +
    under a glass moon) from the 1998 French tour, as well as songs by other
    bands such as Megadeth, Savatage, Royal Hunt.

    Sound Quality:
    Quite amazing. Clear, well-balanced recordings of obviously digital origin.
    The best audience recordings I've heard so far (and I've heard a lot).
    Dream Theater, Vanden Plas & Savatage stand out as the best.

    Artwork:
    Very nice. High resoultion inlay and full-color CD label.

    Service:
    The best part. The CD arrived 6 days after I've sent out the payment. OK, I
    live in France, but still.....

    Bottom Line:
    Counting the days and saving money for Open All Night's upcoming full-show
    CDs.

    Keep up the good work guys,
    Denis B.

    Message-ID: <74228aa1.353a9596@aol.com>

    If you haven't figured it out by now, Japan has a much wider choice of sheet
    music and videos from artists WE LIKE, as opposed to artists MOST PEOPLE LIKE.

    I just received my first order of sheet music from Japan. To give you an idea
    of what I mean when I say Japan has cooler stuff, I'll list the order I just
    received:

    Young Guitar - back issue 10/97 w/ John Petrucci and John Myung on the cover
    Young Guitar - back issue 9/97 w/ Yngwie Malmsteen on the cover
    Young Guitar - back issue 5/97 w/ George Lynch on the cover
    Dream Theater - complete BAND score of the ALBUM "A Change of Seasons"
    Friedman, Marty - Best of Guitar scores (from Cacophony, solo, and Megadeth)
    MacAlpine, Tony - Best of Guitar scores (impossible to find guitar
    transcriptions)
    Stratovarious - complete BAND score of the album "Episode"
    Stratovarious - complete BAND score of the album "Visions"

    I also already had the following Japan tab books

    Dream Theater - complete BAND score of the album "When Dream and Day Unite"
    Dream Theater - complete BAND score of the album "Image and Words"
    Dream Theater - complete BAND score of the album "Awake"
    as well as various Young Guitar issues.

    BAND score does in fact mean ALL instruments (including drums) transcribed.

    Now that I am confident I have found a reliable source to buy Japan tab, I am
    going to place a SECOND ORDER. I already have a couple of other ytse jammers
    interested in ordering with me on this one and I would like to know if anyone
    else is interested in getting Japanese tab. If you are, I am willing to place
    an order for you also. I will only be doing this ONCE and I will try to do it
    in no more than 2-3 weeks from now (time to gather, respond, and confirm
    emails). So I if you are interested, send me a personal email and I will send
    you my EXACT plan to get the books to you as well as a list I have compiled of
    available tab (and videos) from Japan. Besides this initial email, I would
    like to keep this off the ytsejam. I will do it for ANYONE inside the US. I
    hate to limit it to the US, but it becomes a big hassle to ship out of the US.
    Too many forms to fill out, as well as large shipping costs.

    I am trying to keep all this brief and concise, so if you are interested -
    send me a personal email to calvin6s@aol.com. From there we can take care of
    any other questions and orders. Also keep in mind. I AM NOT A BUSINESS. I
    am not trying to make a profit here. My only interest is to open a source of
    hard to obtain material to the ytsejam. Be forewarned, the email you will
    receive from me will be VERY long. The Japanese catalog will be in .txt
    format so you can open it in just about any format you prefer.

    I am going to make a database of all those interested, and the stage in which
    they are in - but I am starting from scratch as of this email. So if you have
    shown previous interest, please reiterate your interest with an email to me.
    I have received so many emails over the past 4 weeks when I first mentioned it
    that I want to see who is serious still. Please be prepared to provide quick
    responses. I wouldn't want to hold up the order any longer than it has to be
    held. It wouldn't be fair to serious orders to wait on slow (possibly not
    serious) orders.

    thanks,
    Calvin6s@aol.com

    i wont copy the who message cause it was huge, but i see your point.. it was
    basically a joke, but literally i have never seen drums tabbed anywhere, i
    don't read modern drummer magazine, but i can't imagine what the tab for a
    drum kit would look like, i do a lot of midi work, so ofcourse i've seen it on
    a musical scale, and pretty much got to know which is which as far as snare
    bass hihats and cymbals all go, i dont really dabble in the extra stuff like
    glockenspiel or those other weird german sounding percussive instruments. i
    was just imagining in my head a drum kit the size of MP's and each piece
    having a line, i dont know its probably something like atleast a 20 piece set,
    and a musical staff only having 5 lines, but spaces and sharps to deal with, i
    cant imagine a tab with 20+ lines... bah is anyone even reading this far? i
    know i never do, i'll just stop

    Well, wanted to chime in w/ my opinion on PF... I personally think
    that they sound absolutly amazing live, such as on the Pulse CD/video,
    but at the same time, I think that they are weak in the studio. I got
    Pulse, and after listening to alot of the songs on there, got some of
    their studio CDs, Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell, and
    think that they can't compare to Pulse... on the other hand, I think
    Pulse is one of the most amazing live CD I have ever heardm probably
    far ahead of any other live CD that I own..

    For only 8 track (even though it was ADAT), it sounded friggin' GOOD. In fact, on the tape I have in the car, the demo of TAMP replaces the album version. Excellent quality demos.

    >However, Some of the other guys don't neccessarily agree and still prefer >having that "outside ear"...

    >it's yet to be decided which way we'll go with next record...

    Let's put it to a Ytsejam vote :) I cast my vote for more DT METAL!! This brings me to a burning question. Okay, look at the progression of albums...I&W was heavier than WDADU, Awake was heavier than I&W, ACOS was arguably heavier than Awake (if not heavier, then definitely on the same level), and then FII is not a heavy album. My question is, was the label pressure so great that you guys had to go more pop and/or less heavy, or was it a collective decision to go that route without much label pressure?

    Anyway, just got my Dream TheatRE ticket yesterday...FINALLY :) Can't wait 'till May 20th in Tempe...There's gonna be a bunch of us DT fanatics throwing a tailgate party in Club Rio's parking lot that afternoon, campin' out to talk to DT :). Everyone's welcome :)

    Laterz,

    Peace and love, and good happiness stuff, ~Vince

    Gee.. this is the point where we're gonna fight! :-) Ding! First round! :-)

    Seriously, I prefer more progressive stuff than metal material. Of course, preference doesn't mean that I *only* want to listen to progressive rock, but there's plenty of bands doing heavy metal (in many, many, many senses: black metal, death metal, progressive metal, melodic heavy metal, doom metal, blue metal :-) , pink metal :-), gay metal, lesbic metal :-) and so on) and I'm still trying to find a band that does purely progressive rock these days.

    Perhaps most bands do metal music because that's what the kids wanna hear.

    []s, Roger...

    Hi all,

    Soon I will be going to a record fair were no doubt I will be able to buy a couple of bootlegs. I need some advise from those among you who have good bootlegs in their collection so that I can pinpoint my searches. Last year I got the phenomenal "Saints and Sinners" QR bootleg (off the PL tour), which I'd read about on the Jam. I trust your musical opinions, so please tell me. My musical taste includes QR, DT (of course), My Dying Bride, Deep Purple, Rainbow, guitarists (Becker, Malmsteen, Vai, Satriani, Stump). If there are any phenomenal bootlegs I don't know about, tell me what their titles are. Phenomenal bootlegs in my opinion are "S&S" (QR), "Guitar Killer" (Satriani), "As 6 1/2" (Vai), "Kiss the Sky" (Malmsteen) and DT's "Lost in the Sky". If you know of excellent bootlegs of bands you are not sure I am into, just tell me as well :-) Or maybe there's a "guide to excellent bootlegs" site on the net somewhere?

    Cheers...thanks for your time. A message to my private email address instead of to the 'Jam would be much appreciated, even though such a thread might be beneficial to other Jammers too. -- /--------------------------------------------------------------\ | Richard Karsmakers & Karin Kessels karies@wxs.nl | \--------------------------------------------------------------/ C.R.I.M.E.
