    hello all. My prayers may have been answered. In a french magazine, Mike
    Tramp said that White Lion really never got to say goodbye to its fans the way
    they wanted to. So, they are planning to record a NEW album!!! He says that
    it won't be a watered-down, 98 version of the band, but the real band. What
    they were on the last few records. This is great news! Has anyone heard
    about this. You can check out a white Lion page @ www.elvod.yu.co/~milan/
    for more information! Keep in touch!

    Hi,somebody lost the deal, so here it is again.
    I have the JM instruction video Progressive Bass Concepts and I want to sell
    it!
    I am a guitarist, but as a fan and guitarist I thought I could learn
    something. If I did so,ok, but now I want to trade it. New it was
    49.95$(85DM actually) and I'd sell it for a reasonable price or swop(SP?)
    for DT boots. Contact my private and I'll get back immediately.
    Bottom line

            Well, that was the context of the original question. Otherwise I would
    also have named such stuff as the Denver 11/94 show that is soundboard
    quality, present in complete form on tape and DAT, but was not put to a
    complete CD boot (Tap the Rockies is missing three tunes from that
    show). Also, I'd have named all four HFTH '95 shows.

    > anyone interested in hearing the first time Trial of Tears was ever played
    > live?!? Sound quality on that show is pretty poor, but it's

            Actually sound quality was quite good on my DAT of the 4/16 Tilburg
    show, and I used TOT and one other track off of it for Mosaic. Only
    reason I didn't put out the entire show is because most of it was
    identical to the FF96 and CIA97 boot setlists. The majority of boot
    collectors DO want just a best-per-tour and every-setlist-type-played. I
    like the fact that DT is now varying the set a lot more between dates
    because it's much more of a Grateful Dead/Tori Amos collecting
    experience, where EVERY SHOW has merit. I have fifteen plus DATs and/or
    tapes from the US Awake tour of 1994, and the set on every damned one is
    identical except for a few early ones w/IF and/or TOWHTSTS in place of
    Awake Heavy Jam. A lot of them are CD-worthy... Denver, San Antonio,
    Houston, Tucson, Tempe, and Los Angeles to name six. But who would want
    those on CD when you can get AKIAD and MC and have soundboard sound??
    Only the most hardcore collectors... who probably already have 'em on
    tape and not CD. That's about the only reason I didn't do more with
    these tapes, spread them to a wider audience in whatever format.

    definitely a
    > collector's item. Doesn't anyone care about landmarks, milestones, and
    > great performance anymore? Or is it just sound quality and a cursory, one> show glance at a tour?

            For Rush and pre-1997 DT, that's exactly what it was. Now that DT is
    varying the setlist more, which I totally love, every single show
    recording will have merit in and of itself to ANY collector.

    > Maybe I'm beating a dead horse here, but if people would trade for boots
    > instead of just buying what's been packaged on the shelf they would find a
    > whole heap of treasures they never knew were out there. Take care all...

            See, this is both true and not true. The sad fact of trading, besides
    the fact that you need to invest heavily in equipment to get to where
    you can trade with other master-tapers (you'll need two DAT recorders to
    start with, so that's $1200 out the door before you even get one step
    further), is that most of the people who have a lot of shows don't want
    to trade unless you have something they do not. So unless you're DAT
    master taping shows, you're stuck with what's common and what's out
    there on CD/CDR. I tried to keep up with the rat race for years and just
    kept getting frustrated with it, and at the same time I knew that the
    "hoarders" were doing the same things with their collections that I was
    doing with mine to the "beginners".. and yet I couldn't justify taping a
    ton of shit just for blanks and postage when time was at a premium to
    begin with. I'm sure a good many long-time boot tapers and collectors
    will echo this sentiment. Basically we have nothing against people
    having copies of this stuff, we just can't be buggered to do all the
    work for nothing... it doesn't justify the time put into the hobby.

            This is a reason why I heavily favor tape-swap-meets. Four or five
    collectors in a regional area get together and bring all their tape and
    DAT decks, and just go nuts copying each others collections, anything
    goes. Everyone gets stuff and nobody feels like they got taken advantage
    of. Everyone wins. Plus now they all have bigger collections to help
    crack into the too-tight "inner circles" of internet trading...
    especially in the Rush community. The DT community has, thankfully,
    NEVER been as tightfisted with good tapes as the Rush community has.
    You'd be surprised at the kind of recordings I just "give away" at tape
    swaps because I don't have to do the work... and I get the occasional
    gem or clone in return... the more of these things people can arrange,
    the less dependent on CD boots the market will be. I realize that this
    statement goes counter to my own work making CDs, but I ain't gonna be
    making CDs forever, and I'll never be able to bring even 1% of the shows
    out there to the listener by myself. They will simply need to trade if
    they want to "hear it all".

    Though Ive never heard the Kronos (String) Quartet, I have heard of them. If you enjoy "non-classical" genre music played by a string quartet, I strongly suggest you check out a group named The Turtle Island String Quartet. They play some really crazy music, in the vein of progressive rock. They sound random at first, but the more you listen, the more you hear.

    Just a recommendation.

    Greetings all,

    I've been messing around with HTML the last week and the following is the result: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Frontrow/6143/

    It's nothing fancy, but kind of a guide page to help prog fans navigate to where they want to go. It's not quite done yet. In fact, I am looking for other prog band links to add. If anyone has one of a band not listed, as well as some JPEGS of that band, send them to me and I will add them.

    Later,

    >So there's your connection with the Majesty burning heart symbol (DTC).

    Actually, the two really aren't related. The burning heart is the Sacred Heart of Jesus actually and the barbed wire really isn't supposed to be barbed wire but a ring of thorns or something like that. I really don't know much about the SHoJ but I've seen it in a few other places besides DT's Liner notes. :) The Majesty symbol (the nifty 'M' in the ellipse thing) is what DT borrowed from Her Majesty. Damn, besides the disease and bad food, I'd sure like to live back then.

    >Hang on a sec...I know that Neil's wife just died from cancer, but I didnt >know Neil was sick as well. Is he being hospitalized for depression or >something like that?

    Yup. first his daughter, then the Working Man tribute, then his wife dying, then I just recently read where someone's planning one releasing another Rush tribute album... The dude's under some serious stress. I hope he gets better soon. The world is missing out on one hell of a drummer and lyricist. Not to mention one hell of a great guy.

    Hello, An interesting topic, I'll say. Okay, my main axe now is an Ibanez JS6000 Custom, which is the closest I've found to my definition of guitar perfection. What would I change? First off, I'd like 24 frets. I just got so used to this on my Washburn that there are solos I've written that don't sound right as I have to play them differently with fewer frets. Next change? The neck joint. While a neck through would be nice, I'd really like an all access joint like on the RG and S series Ibanez models (the JS is a bolt-on with an angled joint for easier reach). Also, I prefer the pickup switch in front of BOTH knobs so I can hit it quickly within a song. The JS models have the perfect neck radius, body style, and pickups, and the bridge on this model is exactly what I wanted: string-through, not a stop tailpiece. Non-locking tuners are the finishing touch on this near perfect model. Now if I could only get famous and create my own Ibanez signature model... Damn that Petrucci fellow... And on that QR video someone was inquiring about, mine is titled Video:mindcrime and is catalog number E5-1605, copyright 1989. If there is no difference between this info and what spree has, then they're wrong on the track list. I checked their page, but can't find the video. As for new music, I got my Columbia House shipment. YES! Twelve new discs to listen to... and review of course. So far the only one I've given a solid listen to is Natalie Imbruglia. I shit you not, I own this CD. And its good. Tori fans might enjoy it, though it is a little bit more on the pop side. Kind of like Sophie B. Hawkins, IMHO. Definite thumbs up. Crucify away...:) Another disc I've only given a partial listen to is Django Reinhart. Its a compilation, normally a bad omen, though I don't think his work is available on CD in any other form. Reinhart is one of the original masters in instrumental jazz guitar, a gypsy player from the late 30s. For those who may not know (not that it matters), Steve Martin is a big Django fan: half the music in LA Story is his, the other half is Enya. This is a great set featuring some familiar songs in great reworkings: Beyond the Sea, Symphonie Pathetique, Tisket Tasket. And with over 35 songs, you can't miss!

    I got this from a friend. It bears musical relevance.

    my 2 choices for the perfect guitar battle would have to be:

    acoustic- mortorro. someone else besides g.-jack-from-whom-i'm-expecting-vai- stuff-from-soon-bitchass and i must've heard of those guitars. not only would i have to dream about them making their guitars in 7-string, i think those are standard (i know 8 string guitars are optional).

    electric- been falling head over heels for one of those parker fly deluxes. anyone care to trade a js6 ibanez plus collateral for one of those? or if anyone in the ny area just wants to buy my ibanez js6, let me know.

    re: mojoman's return.

    i'd be hiding my daughters, but merlo beat me (literally?) to them. last i heard he was sodomizing them in the back seat of his vw golf.

    ...and they say virginia is for lovers.
