Actually, what I heard was that DT only gets 30 minutes if they
start at the time listed on the tickets, so they're starting early in
order to fit in a good 45-50 minute set.

I question how good of an idea it is to periodically incovenience
everyone on the list for the sake of a few lazy people. Maybe for a
much larger volume list it would make sense, but in this case, I'm
not so sure. I just don't think it's good PR to make 1000 people
(roughly) resub to knock one or two off the distribution.
The other potential downfall that I see is that you will probably lose
some people that *are* interested, and that *do* occasionally
participate, but that just one time decide that it's not worth it to
keep resubbing (and with a list with this low a signal-noise ratio, it'll
probably be fairly common).

<<Didnt mike himself state that the 2nd Liquid tension experiment could only

Which is good. I dont think Vai could do anything for LTE. John is just
enough. Its the mixture I love about LTE. Keys, Bass, Guitar, Drums. Amen.
Now if another Gunslinger joins the roundtable (like Vai), I think things
would get out of hand. (Although it must be really crazy and funny then.) I
dont think its a good idea (especially because we would not hear as many
Petrucci solos then..... :) ).
But who cares.

I have a friend that thinks just like you do. His narrow mindedness

No, you're right. They're *totally* different albums. In fact,
the only similarities between them is that they're called King Crimson -
and Robert Fripp is the guitarist.

remember also that the 1st album was released in 1969. Schzoid
Man was (and still is) one of those songs that will always kick ass. When
Einstein did the middle section of it during one of their songs (Birch
Hell, 1996), I was floored (just ask Wacky).
Thankfully, KC has decided to play "Schzoid" a few times now and
again - although it's *very* rare that they do.

It's not as simple as that.
With many bands, you can ask "where is the trademark sounds?" and
we'll point you to an album or era that'll do it for you (DT, Rush,
Genesis, etc). With Crimson, the sound changes from album to album. The
first album is a classic. Name me another album released in that DECADE
(this is the 60's, mind you) with that kind of punch. Epitaph, the 3rd
song on the album, is *so* influentual that the guitarist from Bad
Religion formed a label around it (you know, Epitaph records?) "In The
Court Of The Crimson King", the title track, is equally as exciting. You
need to look at that album from the vantagepoint of 1969, not 1998.
Oh, did I mention that Michael Giles's playing on that album
influenced Neil Peart to become the drummer he is?
Anyways, back on my rant.
There are 4 central "eras" of King Crimson:
1: The original (1969) lineup.
2: The Wetton/Bruford/Fripp era.
These guys released 3 albums:
a. Larks Tongues' In Aspic - (possibly one of the greatest
albums of all time) - which features Jamie Muir on percussion and David
Cross on viola/violin/mellotron. This was released in either late '72 or
early '73
b. Starless And Bible Black. Released in 1973, this has
Cross, but not Muir (who left right after the release of LTiA). Although
not as powerful as LTiA, their live shows are, as I like to put them,
hauntingly beautiful. To hear the full extent of their power, do yourself
a favour and get "The Night Watch" - beautiful stuff.
c. Red. The final album before the (1st) breakup, this
album DEFINES heaviness. There's nothing quite like it. You wanna know
where Anekdoten got so heavy? Look no further. Starless is a
masterpiece, and so is the title track.
3. The 80's era.
This lineup (Fripp/Belew/Levin/Bruford) released 3 albums:
Disipline (of which i could go on and on about), Beat (1982), and Three Of
A Perfect Pair (1984). Discipline's the album to get of here, and if you
like the style, pick up the others. ToaPP is the weirder one of the three
- with songs like "Dig Me" and "Industry" - show Fripp at the top of his
form.
4. The double trio.
I've talked at length about this in some length in an
earlier post, but check out Thrak (1995) if you wanna hear something new
by these guys. Although they've seperated into projecKts (as fripp likes
to call 'em, "research and development for the the Crim" or something like
that), ProjecKt 2's Space Groove (with Fripp, Gunn, and Belew - on drums!)
isd an amazing double disc of improv.
Note: King Crimson is an AQUIRED TASTE. Do not expect to be
blown away. This is not the Liquid Tension Experiment. These guys (Fripp
espically) are much more subtle than that - but if you listen with an open
ear, they'll tear you to shreads - they're *that* good.

hahahahah. the vocal rocks, man! that's the poin of the whole

Just wanted to pass along some info to you:
Right here in Philadelphia, 3 prog bands are going to be playing
the Theater Of The Living Arts (or the 'T.L.A.' as we call it). The bands
are Finneus Gauge, Mastermind and The Flower Kings. Here's the kicked.
The show is sponcered by EFC!!! That's right! Prog has, for now at
least, gone somewhat mainstream. :)
Anyways, the price for the tickets are $15 - and the show is on
Thursday, September 3rd (that's the day before labor day w/end). D-Man
and I will be in attendance, and I hope to see/meet many of you there.
Support the local prog scene, guys - it's all we've got!

There's nothing wrong in desire of being HUGE! What matters is what the
przie for that.
I remember Mike Portnoy interview where he says that what he likes most
in DT is that they all don't care about the outside mainstream music,
they just do what they like in their music, totally without barriers.
I guess that still counts right? I certainly hope so.

Agreed. That Vernon experiments a lot. He was here in Macedonia for the
Jazz festival '97 (held every year) and did and awesome show. Strange
enough, in his band was a rapper also, and few songs were rap oriented.
But imagine cool rap groovy rhythm with Vernon's riffs. :-) He was just
surfing through all music styles he felt comfortable with.

Er, I was the one posting that! :-) For your info, I just said that on a
JJ song "Black Cat" Nuno Bettencourt is playing awesome guitar!
Speaking of what is and what is not for the list, I think it's quite a
complex issue. Going to extremes, can we say this should be ONLY DT
topics oriented list? I don't think so! And I see that others (all)
realize that.
Chet Atkins guitar? It also doesn't sound like a prog stuff and I read
it few days already.

No, this is not an episode of Beavis and Butthead. Nor is this a mailing list for Progressive Rock and Metal bands. This is a DREAM THEATER mailing list, and is for discussion of them and related items. However, being unmoderated, this list tends to turn into all sorts of things. That said, Janet Jackson is as related as discussion of some progressive and metal bands. Not that I'm advocating a lengthy thread on the matter, though. Personally, my thoughts on the matter are that you should keep your own elitest thoughts on the matter before TAY-check (someone taught me how to pronounce that monstrosity of a last name this weekend) or someone less nice than I rips you a new back orifice on the matter of free choice of listening preferences.
Also, lighten up on your number of posts. I counted 12 out of the 50 or so 'jam posts being yours. That's at least 10 too many. Unless your name is Bafu.
On a mailing-list related note, the show in MN on Sunday rocked balls (of course). I just wanted to make a public statement that Derek can hold his own with any ivory-guy out there. That solo on 6:00 kicked my ass...

Maybe ;)
Morse and Howe have each jammed with Petrucci (and his 4 music friends :) before, and Howe has played with Morse. DT sights Kansas as an influence and has covered Kansas tunes. Morse has played in Kansas. They all play or have played in progressive bands. They've all know what it takes to compose a song, not just play it. They all can make an acoustic guitar ROCK!
Ummm, none of them have been a party to the making of any chemical weapons, according to the latest intelligence reports. The word is still out on whether any noxious microparticles are flaking off JP's pick when his shredding gets up into the 250+BPM range :)
Other than that it, I guess it depends upon who you ask. Ask 30 jammers, get 31 different answers...
My guess would be: once you reach a level that those three have, you've already mastered many different styles and the exploration is where it's at. It's more a matter of whether they would have fun jamming with each other or not (ya think?) You're right though, it would be glorious!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arash: > Note: The people on the board are very very angry about Derek.
OHMIGOD, that's a shame :) Wouldn't it be so nice if everyone just fit into nice, neat little molds and behaved just like we wanted them to. Maybe if the "people" on the board could get just a little more angry, they can hunt Derek down and kick his ass till he answers the questions the right way, damnit! :)
I noticed several references where Derek laughs during the interview. Is that blatant enough for you? If what he says is more important than what he plays, then maybe they should nominate him for political office. His track record can't be any worse than Clinton's, right? :) The guy quite obviously LOVES playing in Dream Theater.
If one can't read between the lines into what Derek is saying, here's a little suggestion:
1) Log off 2) Shut down 3) Power down
:)
The musical world doesn't revolve around a message board (THANKFULLY!!!)
Perhaps Derek is just plain sick and tired of people comparing him, trying to point out so-called deficiencies, and for the most part centering the discussion around anything except DEREK AND DREAM THEATER. No wonder he didn't "respond." Give the man a fucking break, already! So he doesn't like Fates Warning, Angra, or Symphony-X. Who the fuck cares? Asking him about Kevin Moore's contribution on the FW disc took balls :)
> I don't think Gergorio enjoyed the interview that much.
It's not about Gregorio's satisfaction or lack thereof. I bet Derek couldn't wait to get that interview over with :)
Looked like Gregorio was interested in having his spin on 'all things progressive' be heard more than he was in hearing where Derek was trying to come from. This is about Dream Theater, not about some guy's poorly groomed interviewing techniques.
I've met Derek in person and know others who have as well, and got nothing but a good vibe coming from him. This holds true for everyone else I've met in the band. They'll keep continuing to make music that many people enjoy, whether Derek's attitude bothers you or not :)
Rodman still pulls down some major 'bounds, don't he?
Sorry, the coffee just rocks today :)
