suspiciously like Mechanix, the old Megadeth/Metallica tune...

Count me in as someone who would love to see more musician-related stuff in
the FAQ. I think sheet music/TAB info, gear info, musical influences/album
picks, etc, would be extremely interesting and useful.

I'm up until 4:00 AM last night working on an essay that's due today. I get about four and a half hours of sleep before going into work. I come to school straight from work, and head to the lab to print out the essay in the small break I have before class. I check my bag, and the disk is not there. Mind you, I live a half hour from school. The pouch the disk was in was unzipped, so I think "maybe it fell out in the car."
Cut to the parking garage.
I check the car seats and floorboards. No disk. I open my *other* bag (with my work clothes), no disk. Cursing, I get out and shut the door. I begin to get a nagging feeling, and check for the car keys. I find them. On the front seat of the car. With both doors locked.
At this point, the situation has made that strange transition that bad situations tend to make after a while; it has almost become humorous. Accepting the situation, I prepare to boldly walk into my English class and confront my teacher with the absolute truth. Which would come out sounding like a high schooler lying about his term paper because he was to busy with Baywatch and a bottle of Jergens.
I make my way back to my classroom, and
(no help from the audience, please)
The. Class. Is. CANCELLED.

So, is Arash full of hot air you ask?? Is Empty Tremor worth his hype? Well... I received their promo disc... and I gotta tell you... this band is worth a lot of hype... I dunno about as much as Arash's, but they've got incredible chops, fairly good songwriting, and it isn't power metal but progressive metal. They definitely are Images and Words Dream Theater era fans, from the heavy influences on the music. But, check them out for yourself, I've added some MP3's from the CD that Arash doesn't have up.
Oh, and these guys are really young... some of these guys in the band don't look a day over 18...

Sorry if this has been discussed, I've been on the road for over a week and just am starting to catch up on my mail.
I've been told that Chris DeGarmo has left QR. I don't see how the band can continue without him. Let's hope his inevitable solo cd isn't grungy like Nuno's post-Extreme cd was.

Don't you two know that those both suck and Zildjian kicks major ASS!
Now, about that Portnoy crap thing... that would be a neat idea, but can a 256-color Web page REALLY show the accurate shade? And what's with Gabbo runnin' the FAQ? If you really need something to do, I can give you some stories to edit. (Ken did give me the details, so I don't need 500+ messages, tankyouveddymuch [tm].)
It's great to be back! Keep requesting DT on the radio! The radio station e-mail list's still on my page.

It's too bad AOL doesn't let one view the message while replying. Really a shame. Feel free to cry.
Re: The DT FAQ. The new maintainer had better be able to explain to everyone what "this sentence is censored" means. Not even Ken Bibb could tell me. Define or excise! Or do neither and face death - Aeon Flux's mind trapped in Lara Croft's body! And for goodness' sake, ask someone in the band where the name "Bombay Vindaloo" comes from! "My guess is the band got blasted by an A-10 Tank Killer and decided to go eat spicy Taco Bell 7-layer burritos in retaliation! Belch! To this day I'm still guessing because there's no other way to determine the truth! Just as Agent Scully!"
For anyone interested in hearing clips from Paul Gilbert's new album, "King of Clubs," which may or may not ever be available in this country, go to:
http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/8717/KOC.htm
Anyone who recognizes names like "John Alderette" or "Pat Torpey" or "Bruce Boulliet" may be interested, not to mention names like "Paul" and "Gilbert." It's very catchy stuff. In fact after listening to the samples just once two days ago I can still remember how they go today. Whereas with Haji's Kitchen I've listened to the album probably thirty times and can only really remember the melodies from the first track...geez not even the solos stick out in my mind as anything noteworthy...
If any guitarists on this list have been DYING to learn that fast violin lick near the end of Shania Twain's "Don't Be Stupid," the waiting ends now. I transcribed it earlier today.
Someday I will find the Pine mailing system. Until then, Dream Theater rules.

Good idea! Hey, why stop there? why not collect his crap to sell as part of your enterprise? You could start with ziplock bags and work your way up to a cellophane machine to wrap it... but then, why stop THERE? you could branch out to other bands, and soon enough have a monopoly of all shit sold the world over! And don't forget the market for their dirty underwear (for the japanese market ;)), but that's a whole nuther ballgame.
