This was in my little Seattle suburb newspaper this morning.
It was an article about what musicians are listening to.
Chuck Schuldiner, the guitarist for Death, a band that has upheld
the extreme metal tradition for 15 years: "I still listen to my wall of
vinyl-Kiss, Iron Maiden. I tend to listen to more of the old than the
new, but of course I keep up with the new. I heard the new Slayer
and it sounded a little like Korn, which worried me a bit, but I'll
probably pick it up and give it a chance...also, Symphony X-they're
getting no acknowledgment at all, but they're a terrific band."
I almost filled my Depends when I read that. :)

Just received the Christmas CD, wow what a collection it is!!! Brings
back the fabulous evening in Nighttown, Rotterdam, just listen to the
tracks, maybe you will get the same feeling that we had that night. It
was damn hot there, but DT gave us cold shivers with this great
performance!!! Thanks to anyone involved with the Christmas CD, what a
gift!! Thanks to DT, thanks for the wonderful music you gave us and
hopefully will give us next year!! We hope that you in the States who
can visit the After Christmas shows get the same kinda show we had in
Rotterdam, it will be a great night! Shame on the pitiful people still
walking around that do not understand... (see the reviews of 12/26/1998
show).
Have a great 1999!

Exactly my point! As I was commenting with you Doc, me, if i had
been there
i wouldve kicked some unapreciative drunk ass! I mean hell.. weren
there like..
5 or 6 jammers together? 2 jerks like that woulve been hella quiet!
---------------------
DUH!! never said i did or didn't ask them to shut up. but for the
record, I DID! they
knocked it off temporarily and started up again. couple others around
also requested them
to knock it off to no avail. also, i was not with anyone i came with,
being that i found the perfect
spot to check out the show....i was on my own. and that's just what i
wanna do, start a fight, the
day after Christmas, with two nimrods and my ass thrown out and miss the
show and freeze my
ass off waiting for my friends to come out. perhaps if you bad ass
jammers were with me, you
could've handled it for us frail ones.........geeez. just another reason
i don't contribute to this thing, all
anyone does is bitch at everyone else no matter what is said.
much later........

For those of you who will be there, look for someone with short dark hair,
a blue silk shirt (an FII tour shirt underneath), and blue jeans ... I will
be in the front row ... I will also be hanging out outside the venue
earlier on in the day, from around 3 to 6 ... hope to see a few of you
there. Can't wait for the show!

Sav inquired:
>where was tempus?! and pete and jaime?!
Looking for YOU! We were down on the floor for a bit before the show,
up in the bar near the stairs for the first half of the show, then with
Skadz and crew for the second half.
Apparently we were the only ones to spot the almighty Tempus... we gave
him a ride back to the hotel at his request (so yell at him, not us!
;), then came back to the Electric Factory to see if we could find you
and Scotty and hung out behind the venue with the other jammers, where I
finally got to meet the rare and mythical being known as Hairball. We
left shortly after the Boston crew... it was chilly and it'd been a
really hectic week/end, so I was pretty wiped out.
It was great to meet all y'all at those three shows... it was good to
finally put faces to names that I've known for as long as four years
now...
The funniest part of the weekend was AFTER the New Haven show: we
stopped at a 24 hr McDonalds on I-95 maybe fifteen minutes out of NH to
get a drink... as we were about to leave, John Petrucci walks out of the
bathroom. :)
I was too amused.
It was a great weekend... I'm looking forward to seeing some of you
again sometime in the future. :)

well,
first of all I never thought there would be a Steve Vai album with a
parental advisory explicit lyrics sticker on it.
Then it was really nice to meet all you guys, although I didn't get all
the names. To the guy with the bandana, who also likes/or dislikes the
teaser of A fortune in lies, I realized I dislike the LitS teaser way
more, because that's one of my favs.
Now regarding the show I'll post something controversial. This was
definitely my least faorite DT experience, based on several factors.
Now, we are thankful that they play during the holidays. Me that is.
Nobody forces them, nobody forces me to go there. Unplugged.
Athmospheric - fine by me. But - after waiting for 3 1/2 hours I got
tired. One point of criticism is the video. They didn't have to show all
of it. Where was the merch, where were DTIFC flyers? I was just too
tired after standing so long to appreciate a quiet and slow set
(besides, the keys were not loud enough IMO). I wouldn't dare generalize
and say that I only like heavy stuff, but I didn't catch the spark. Now
Chris and I had a great time laughing about JP and Eve and thought at
many points"well,ok he can play'(although I tend to find his fast
repatative chromatic (when he improvises) a little too simple. I don't
need lydian either, it just sounds boring to me. Just bend a note
instead. MOre moody. shut up. get out... ) and I was banging my head
although d-man said before that that'd be a nono, but hey, they are
still my fav band.
I think I've written quite a load of shit now and eventually proven to
write incongruent and totally out of context, but hey, I just outed
myself to not being a Rush fan, not even being able to recognize the
voice of whoever sings(neil?) and embarressing myself with wearing a
Budwiser cap with stickers on it.
What the hell do you expect.

Just wanted to pass this along -
There are no more christmas discs. those who have sent in the
money by 12/31/98 i cannot guarantee. i can guarantee those who have sent
in their money (and I have received as well as deposited/cleared their
check) by 12/28. People who's checks are received on the 29th, 30th, or
the 31st - if we have discs left, you'll get them. Otherwise, you won't
be.
My only advice to you guys who chose to wait until the last minute
is "you guys should have sent in your stuff earlier and not waited for the
last minute."

Because of my idiotic parents, I had to miss the New Haven show. My
friend and I were going to go last night, but I was stuck in
Massachusett's until yesterday afternoon, and there would have been no way
for me to get everything organized to make it there.
Needless to say, I am very peeved that what would have been my first DT
concert was one that I had to miss.
I wonder when DT will be touring after this. How come there aren't any
Albany shows? My friend lives in Bennington, VT (I'm from Springfield,
across the state), and we figured there'd be at least one Albany holiday
show, but there weren't any scheduled. What a bummer.
Hey Mike - if you're reading this, I WILL make it there at one point, and
I'm going to meet you and praise you five properly as a new fan should!

Well, *that* was an experience - and not just
the drive. I'm still not quite coherent enough
to do a full review, but here are some random
musings.
- The pre-show ytse-gathering was interesting,
even though the mighty Skadz didn't get there
until the rest of us were done eating. Oh, and
then there was Madsman, who wasn't told by the
waitress that his plate was hot until *after* he
burned his hand on it. Much hilarity ensued,
unless you are the aformentioned waitress (who
will probably never look at a Majesty symbol the
same again). And before anyone shows any
sympathy for the waitress, trust me - she
deserved whatever she got. Her motto: "Service
with a smirk".
- The venue: it was an 18-plus show, but rather
than using wristbands, they actually netted off
an area of the club for the under-21's. The end
result was that if you weren't old enough to
drink, you couldn't get up near the stage, or
even out in front. Personally I think that
sucks, even though I was not personally affected.
- Cool moment: The bathrooms at Toad's are
downstairs, and you have to go by the dressing
room to get to it. We heard a huge cheer from
the crowd on our way back, and someone says
"What the hell are they cheering for? It's just
a fucking movie!". We turn, and it's none other
than Mike Portnoy, poking out of the dressing
room.
- The show: Let me tell you, it was great to
finally here some of these DT rarities performed
live. My faves: Eve, Where Are You Now (first
time performed live), TWIUTB (*how* did this
song not get onto FII??), Hey You, and Paradigm
Shift - which closed out the show nicely on an
upbeat.
All in all, an excellent show - exactly what
I've come to expect from these guys. As I siad
(to myself) in the car on the drive down,
there's not too many bands I'd drive that far to
see, but with DT, it's pretty much a no-brainer
that you'll get your money's worth.

Both.
"Puppies On Acid" has been around since the I&W days. They used
it live as the into to "Take The Time", if I'm not mistaken. Later,
during the Awake sessions, they wrote "The Mirror" using POA as the
starting point.

I saw one, but it could be a Bulgharian bootleg! Folks, ya dont have a
clue how many ballads or best rock bootlegs CDs appear here! :)
Anyone, the one I held in my hands had the "Space Dye Vest"! I laughed
when I saw it, 'cause even though it;s a ballad, it just ain't typical
DT ballad stuff!
Just in case ..... Kevin rules! :)
I heard few comparitions of Chroma Key with Peter Gabriel! Can someone
firmly familiar with both explain me the similarities! I LOVE Gabriel
but still didn't hear Chroma Key! :(
Private mail will do just fine!

I just want to say that I feel lucky to have gone to one of the holiday shows. James Labrie was absolutely amazing, especially with the Zep tune! I one wish that they would have played one of my personal favourites "Take Away My Pain"> Perhaps one of these days I will get to hear that masterpiece performed live!
Anyway, everyone put together a great show. I wish I could have met the band to express my thanks! Derek was awesome, Labrie was awesom, Myung was awesome, Portnoy was awesome, and Petrucci was awesome :)
I also got to see Damon in line.. but then he disapeared.
Well. sorry for the incoherence,.. I am on two days without sleep and there is a nice little snowstorm outside.

Tell you what, if yer having trouble during an East Coast DT show... go in search for Jesus... usually... finding Jesus will be your solution, cause usually Jesus is hanging out with the two saints of DT crowd pacification, their names would be Chris Merlo and Doug Ruggerrio, if these two guys don't intimidate said knuckleheads, you've got a whole together other trouble on your hands, cause those two guys are mutants...
