    When I picked up my "ticket" (receipt) at Guitar Center today, the guy said
    "This is your ticket. Don't lose it. They'll give you an actual ticket at
    the door if you want it."

    I also picked up a copy of FUSE magazine, Issue One, a free newspaper-ish
    magazine on progressive rock. The members of Dream Theater are on the cover
    and the band is featured in a nice, juicy article. Grab yourself a copy if
    you can find it.

    Hi

    Don't worry, anyone who had request the FREE PROMO TAPE will get it sooner or later..

    Look :

    4 members of the band are still going to school.
    The 2 other have to work for leaving because they don't sale enough albums.
    The Band will make all of these promo tape by theyself !!!
    This will take time, since there are lots of requests.
    Another thing is that the band will go in studio in May for pre-production
    of the new album (demo recording).
    They don't have the time to answer all the e-mails they recieve,
    but belive me they will read them all.

    So come on people, be a little patient and you'll get your stuff.
    Until then, hear the samples from Prog Or Die and DR. Mosh's site.

    Btw, for those who have asked me where to buy "APOCOLOKYNTOSYS" :
    Go to the "LINKS" section of the fan club site.

    And if you have any questions about EMPTY TREMOR, e-mail me.
    I'm in contact with them and I will try to answer all your questions.

    Well, I just recorded a new Anthrax song off the radio (which was accidentally
    left there by a record company dude and not supposed to have been played). It's
    showing the same problem that I had with the last Faith No More album; it has
    touches of their former sound, it's really awesome in places. But in other
    places they have totally sold out (oh boy, bad choice of words) to the 'noise
    metal' of current bands like Korn, Coal Chamber, etc. I don't understand why the
    hell they did that. There's also no sign of that double guitar attack...come to
    think of it, maybe they only have one guitarist these days. I never heard
    anything about a replacement. Does anyone know about that?

    What is the deal with saying that providing boots for personal gain is a
    bad thing. In each case, both parties are gaining, no one is forcing
    anyone to pay $15 for a boot disc. Sure maybe it is not that expensive to
    make these discs, but do you have a problem spending $15-$20 for a studio
    recording released from a record label? It amounts to the same thing,
    these people who are providing boots are taking time out of their life to
    provide quality recordings to others who may not be fortunate enough to get
    them for themselves. Some trade for other product, which is mutually(sp)
    beneficial to both parties while some of the traders are asking for
    monetary recompensation for their time and effort. So this is what the get
    out of it, this is their personal gain. Now to say that giving away
    something for free is without personal gain is a false statement. The only
    way that giving something away for free is without personal gain, is if you
    really don't want to do it and are forced to do it. Giving away those
    CD-R's for cost plus shipping gives you the personal gain of a sense of
    well being. You can say to yourself that you are a good and better person,
    for providing this service without asking for any recompensation. Very few
    things in life are done without a personal gain of sorts being achieved,
    whether it be in goods or in a personal sense of satisfaction.

    Really it is no one's business on this list what 2 individuals do
    between themselves, except those concerned.
    As long as the 2 people trading are happy with the deal they
    are getting what the hell is the problem ?

    NuGgeTMaN <emoeglin@infinite.wezl.org> 's rebuttal:

    << you claim you aren't asking for money or anything...no instead
     you're asking for "Trade" which still shows me that you are seeking some
     kind of personal gain from doing your "Service." I wouldn't consider you
     to be a "Ytserobber" just more like a "Ytsepawnbroker" which isn't all
     bad...but it's still seeking a personal gain. >>

    This is a little annoying. First off, I would have no problem if someone
    charged me shipping, "production" costs (blank CD-R), and added a little
    extra. After all, if someone offered to do something for only shipping/costs
    of something as wonderful as a DT-FII CD-R - they would be bombarded with
    requests. Then they would have to quit their job, run their equipment into
    the ground, get complaints about why it is taking so long, and then have
    nothing to show for it except a smile on their face that they helped others.
    Nothing is wrong with being this noble, but let's be realistic. Okay, you
    probably wouldn't have to quit your job - but so much for your free time.
    That is why I have no problem with somebody adding a little extra. And the
    fact of the matter is, Graham never even asked for money or a profit.

    Then when it is realized that Graham didn't ask for money, but rather asked
    for a trade - he is still attacked as shooting for something to gain. To me,
    that was the topper. I don't see how anyone could be ridiculed for wanting to
    trade. And what you see as "personal gain" I see as "mutual gain". Both
    parties are getting something out of a trade.

    <<Do what you like...I live to please one person right now, and that's
    myself...and it pleases me to know that I'm helping people in the most honest
    way I know how...if I could afford to I'd just give the CD's away...but right
    now I have a Whopping $1.25 to my name. Have a great day dude :) >>

    And that is very noble of you. I think you should be commended for having
    this attitude. But you shouldn't attack someone else because they don't. Let
    alone your idea of actually losing money. I have no problem with "picking up
    the tab" sometimes, but if I did it all the time I'd only " have a Whopping
    $1.25 to my name" :o)

    I just had to jump in on this one because this is one of the most unwarranted
    attacks I think I have yet to see on the jam (only been here 2 months though).
    I repect both NuGgeTMaN and Chris P. who usually have something insightful to
    the ytsejam, so I am not really attacking either. Rather - I am siding with
    Graham on this particular "thread".

    Oh, yeah... Graham is the source of the cancer of 'all things yste', of

    the biggest whinge about finding LTE and as prize offered a free CDR of

    winner and sent me CDR copies of tDoE and MC boots! (indeed the lowest,

    I invite you all to check out the relatively-new Swedish prog-metal band, Sanity.
    We have released their new CD, "Forgotten World" for only $13, which is pretty
    good for a Swedish import.

    They're progressive, they're metal AND they can write good songs. check out
    some MP3 clips at the web-site below.

    It's all about how you're raised. Some people are stingy and self
    centered (usa is captialist after all...), and some people look at the
    bigger picture. It's all pretty deep rooted philsophy, so stop being

    Hey!

    I think this is a case of misunderstanding....

    I read the posts from the start....

    Graham said he offered the CDR's on a trade basis only and not for
    sale...

    The other guy said I'll trade you $15 dollars for a CDR....making a joke
    which I need not explain!

    Then Graham said I'd only do this if you had nothing to trade.....in
    response to the joke......

    There was no "OK I'll take it" or "Its a deal"....just one of those
    little exchanges that gets out of context...and then out of hand!!

    ]From what I can understand graham is not a ytserobber.....nor was he the
    2nd gunman on the ytse-knoll...

    I downloaded the two mp3s of Digital Ruin from Dr. Mosh's excellent site,
    and I have a question for anyone who has gotten the album. How does it
    compare, sound-wise.

    The reason I ask is The Mirror sounds pretty good, but the recording on
    Revelation is horrible. The vocals are too high in the mix, the music is
    muted and muddy, and the whole thing sounds like a .ra file or something and
    not a 112k/s stereo mp3.

    BTW the singer sounds more like the singer for Heir Apparent than anyone
    else.

    Well, my questions is, what's cheaper and more convenient, writing a
    check for $15 and mailing it? or going out, trying to find cdrs, buying
    a 5 pack for $10-$15 for one, buying a package or box to send them in,
    going to the post office before 5 PM and mailing it off? Personally,
    I'd rather write the check and have it done with.

    I usually don't reply to drivel like this, but I feel obligated since I
    fall into the category of Ytsepawnbroker. I confess, I actually like to
    TRADE for tapes/dat/cdr of material from my favorite bands. I am what's
    called a "Tape Trader." I don't agree with buying boots anymore than you
    do (in general), but I fail to see the problem with trading for them.
    Using your logic every person ever to trade a bootleg (oh no! for personal
    gain!!) is a "pawn broker." Hell, if people didn't trade music no one
    would ever get the shows/material they wanted. I know I'm not happy with
    waiting years at a time for official releases - are you? Graham just
    wanted people to know he had this stuff available and was willing to trade
    for it - nothing more than that.
    I especially liked the note about how CDrs are $1.50 and that no one should
    have to pay for more than media. I'd like to see how you're going to get
    the CD from Australia to the US for that amount. In fact, the media plus
    shipping would be $15 mininum, so even if that guy did pay the $15 he'd be
    getting an excellent deal. Think before you write...

        This is to that total moron who thinks it is so "immoral" for
    someone to get personal gain from selling their CD's. Why don't you
    carry your bullshit to its logical conclusion. Do you work? Why don't
    you give back your paycheck to your boss since it's your "service" or
    whatever the hell you called it. Come on, man! Don't be selfish!
    Wait, you probably don't work and just expect people to give you shit
    out of your inflated idea of altruism. I haven't flamed anyone yet, not
    even that Haze bastard, but you are too stupid for me to avoid it. The
    man has a right to expect profit if he does valuabe work for another
    person, and he has the right to ask for any amount of money he wishes,
    and he should ask for the highest price he can get in a free market.
