Where did you get that video? I'm just curious. I hope you didn't overpay!
(I sell both videos in a 2 tape set for $20.) Joe sent me the video's of the
2 shows from Mexico city, I personally liked the one in the dark club better.
The other gig was in a well lit theater, but I thought it was lacking in
certain areas. And actually, it wasn't really Joe's bass player. He was
hired to do the 2 shows in Mexico because Joe's regular bass player couldn't
make the trip. Jamie, Joe Stump's drummer told me that he was a "Greatful
Dead type guy". No real surprise that he OD'ed. If you want the set-list
from the video, e-mail me, and tell me which gig it was, and I'll send it to
you. As for it being rare, it is, but not as rare as it used to be, since Joe
gave it to me to sell thru the site!

Wow, 2 days in a row w/ posts from me... something must be wrong...
For the most part, the jams have been declared and labeled by someone
in the band, in most cases, from radio shows (circulating around on
tape) featuring members of the band. For instance, the "real" Barfbag
was announced by MP on a radio show out in Calif (6/26/94) after he
played it from a show in Switzerland (11/14/93) (the night before the
Lost In The Sky show from Milan), and hence that has officially become
Barfbag. I know I have some show or another where someone declares
Moonbubbles, and pretty sure that similar confirmations have come for
Puppies on Acid/Kittens on Crack (forget which came first). I am
fairly sure that Moonbubbles is the instrumental from erarly in the
I&W tour, heard on Home Sweet Home, forget whether that is the same on
from LiT or not...

Not with the original lead singer, anyway. Jason McMaster, former singer for
Watchtower(band is mentioned in credits on I&W and FatesWarning-Parallels) and
Dangerous Toys, is currently with a new project called 'Godzilla Motor
Company', which is being courted by Hammstien Management. Jason is doing bass
and vox with 'Godzilla', as well as still writing and planning on recording
with 'Toys'(bass and vox). Look for a 'Godzilla' disc in the semi-near

Well, I finally got all of those demos and took a long listen to them. And
I can truly say.............
I'M PISSED OFF!!!!
Now I know what happens when damn producers, who don't know SHIT about
music, do to songs when they get they're greedy little paws on them! I
nearly cried after hearing the REAL TAMP. How could Mr. Shirley take that
song and utterly destroy it? I mean, I could see it if he changed a couple
of things here and there, but he ripped it APART! It's not even the same
song. I think that this album would have been 200% better if the songs were
left the way DT, not a non-DT member, wrote the songs. Especially a song
that involves a dedication to JP's dead father!!!!
I feel the same way about most of the other songs too. YNM, BMS, etc. And
how could they leave songs like STM, TWiUTB, and CME??? I think STM is one
of the best songs out of the FII sessions.
Oh well..........just blowing off more steam about the album. I still love
it, just pisses me off that the songs had to be massacered(sp?) so much.

I don't think too many people would like it if I "sound off" again.
But I will say what I use:
First of all, I have to mention that DW5000's are FAAAAAAAST! I have
used these pedals for 3 or 4 years now, and I've never played anything
as fast or as efficient as those pedals.
I have an 8-piece Tama Granstar(black hi-gloss) 10, 12, 14" rack toms,
16, 18" floor toms, 22" bass drums, and an 8-1/2x14" snare. I use Evans
Hydralic heads, and the May internal miking system with Shure mics. My
cymbals are: Zildjian- two 14"splashes, two 18" crashes, 16" crash,
14" Newbeat Hi-Hats. Sabian- 14 and 20" chinas. Paiste- 22" ride and a
20" crash/ride. LP Percussion tambourine, and Tama stands. I switch
between ProMark and Vic Firth sticks. I also use an Alesis DM5 drum
module for special effect stuff. Noise gates for cymbal mikes, and
compressors for bass drums and floor toms, and that's about it.

It's exactly what you think, and at first, it does seem illogical,
and impossible, but with practice it becomes easy as pie. You know,
I never really thought about it, but it's almost a baffling concept
that you can play a downstroke on one string, and then an upstroke on
the next string, without accidentally hitting it while getting the
pick into position... but it just naturally works.

It is considerably more noticable at medium tempos. 16th notes at
100-130BPM or so. Any guitarist should be able to control it below
those tempos, and above those speeds, the goal is to play so fast
that no one notices. :) But as I have said... as long as you're
aware of the problem (the POSSIBILITY of the problem) then you should
be able to hear it when it happens, and correct it.

In theory, yes, but it is a different sound, particularly for those
of us who pick with a lot of force. I've spent the last few years
putting a great deal of time into alternate picking on acoustic
guitar, and to get a beautiful tone, you have to pick hard. That's
carried over to my electric playing, and I seem to play with a lot
more force now. Of course, I can still pick lightly if need be... :)

Here's the deal: The 7 string pickups on the UV's were designed to
attempt a flat response... this was because the people involved
didn't like how overwhelming the low B sounded with a juicy pickup.
Because of this, the stock IBZ pickups blow in the Universes. You
can accomodate this by dialing up a tone to compensate for it, but
what I plan to do is one of the following: Have my pickups rewound
to sound like a Duncan (yes it can be done, and for a reasonable
price), have Duncan custom make me some 7 string pickups (they will
do this for anyone, so no, I'm not special.. but they cost over $200
per pickup), or get EMGs or Bartolini pickups. I have NEVER liked
DiMarzio pickups... Duncan's are way meatier.

This is where I take issue. You refer people to seek college level
theory help... where should one go for this, naturally? To a college
or university. No reputable university will employ a guitarist who
is entirely self taught.
If you're talking about your garden variety guitar teacher at
"Monkey Joe's Music Shack" then I agree, you run a serious risk of
being taught a messed up version of theory... but you're there to
learn guitar, not music theory... he's there to teach guitar--not
music theory. If you go to Monkey Joe and ask him for piano theory
lessons, you will run the same risk of getting a fucked up concept of
music theory. It has nothing to do with the player being a guitarist
or a pianist or a monkey... they teach at a music shop because they
are not qualified to teach at a higher institution. What them do you
expect?

There are so many PIANISTS with the same problem. It isn't related

their own music education.

First of all, I won tickets to see Candlebox at Mid Hudson Civic
Center about three years ago, and it was fuckin terrible. The two opening
acts blew them away. I think it was Sweet Water and the Flaming Lips. The
music wasn't that great, but they couldn't have sounded any better on their
albums then they did live. They knew how to perform. Candlebox is one of
those bands that had a big album then disappeared. They're up on the shelf
with bands like the Fine Young Canibles and Saigon Kick. As for their second
album "Lucy", its one of like 30 CDs that I have that I never even took out of
the case. I just got them so they can rot I suppose.
I don't know who it was that posted the DJ in NYC talking about Big
Wreck and DT and how BW was better and some shit. What the fuck is that? I
saw that show in Plainveiw, and I saw the one in Poughkeepsie. They didn't
really impress me in Poug, but in Plainveiw, BW was really good. But, (and
thats a big ol' fukin BUT), but, they did not come close, to DT. There is no
discussion on that. That asshole must have had the band names mixed up.
I went to the mall today in search of Shadow Gallery, Royal Hunt and
Fates Warning (none of which are in my possesion at this time). I found a lot
of Savatage which I have heard mentioned once or twice. Too many to buy at
one time, and I didn't know which were good. There was a lot of their shit
from the 80's that caught my eye cause of the $8.99 mark down on all of them.
And there were a couple new ones. Could someone tell me which ones to get. I
didn't find anything I was looking for, so I got frustrated. And when I get
frustrated in a music store I go nuts. Luckily I only walked out with the
latest Queensryche, Faith no More's Angel Dust and King for a Day. They're
pretty good. I wasn't disappointed.

So economy picking produces an inferior tone? How hard do you pick? Do you
hold your pick at a massive angle? If you're hearing a difference in you
downstroke and upstroke, then you need to reasses your picking technique! If
you would have mentioned playing diads and higher note combos give a different
tone when you upstroke and downstroke, I would have agreed. But your talking
about single note lines, while changing strings no less. The notes should
sound different only when you want them to. The effect your describing comes
from holding the pick at an angle. Sure it allows you to "cut" through the
strings faster, but you have to realize that the strings should almost not be
felt unless you are going for a heavier dynamic. And that usually comes more
from palm muting pressure.
If you have truly mastered economy and alternate picking, then your to be
commended. But if your upstroke sounds different than your downstroke without
you wanting it too, then it's called square one. The quality of the notes
should always be stressed over speed. I would rather be 20 bpm slower than
the next guy if the next guy sounds like his notes are screaming for mercy.
How many players play with a heavy hand and how many with a light hand?
There's a new technique tangent to go off on.

Exactly. It's not about "Not having to" but rather the exact
opposite. If you consider what alternating means, you of course see
that we're talking about switching back and forth. To alternate pick
things, you have to strictly pick up and down, not down down up, or
up down down or whatever.
Even some MASTER PICKING FREAKBALLS like DiMeola will
occaisionally abstract for the more difficult motions, but he doesn't
go to economy picking... he goes to the sort of "bouncing picking"
that Eric Johnson does... he'll play 3 down strokes in a row, but not
sweeping... it's 3 seperate motions, instead of one sweeping motion.
These same passages are played by Morse strictly alternate picking.
Incidentally, Morse identifies the most difficult alternate picking
motion (for him) as one note per string lines, with consecutive
upstrokes on the 2nd string, and downstrokes on the 1st string (play
F# on the second string, and A on the first... F#-A-F#-A-F#-A etc).
> before. So do people actually do this?
You'll find that most shredders swear by this, and only are starting
to accept economy picking as its equal, probably because they feel
that you should have to put as much work in as they did. :)

You won't be impressed by the sound or feel... it's the same guitar,
with a different look. As for getting a 7 string trem, you MAY have
to buy a UV or RG7620 and take it off that, because at my last
attempt, they weren't selling them unless you snd them your defunct
7 string trem, to prove that you're not using it on another guitar.
I'm even more screwed over, because I can't even GET a replacement
trem if I want one for my UV. I have a prototype (Serial 000121)
with the Edge trem... not the Low Pro Edge (which I HATE HATE HATE!).
They won't even make these anymore, to my knowledge.
> I M I M I M I M I M I M
The bassists I know call this alternate picking, even though it's

> I M I I M I I M I I M I
They (my buds) call this raking. They say it's the worst thing
you can do to yourself (to become dependent on it). I kind of think
that the problems this causes can probably be overcome by a patient
bassist, just as the economy picking problem (in essense, the exact
same problem) can be. Just pay attention to your timing, really.
> It is not associated w/ dramatic changes in sound as alternate vs.
> economy picking on guitar, but I feel it does effect timing.
And ease, and speed. But in bass, almost EVERY tech head considers
this "cheating." :)
Incidentally, I'm curious if economy picking poses problems for you
guys (and gals) when you start a lick on an upstroke? What about for
accenting? Can you always noticably accent every 4th 16th note?
What about accenting the notes that occur in offbeats? I would think
this would be more problematic when you aren't using a standardized
motion.
And to those of you learning to shred now, make an effort to pick
entirely from the wrist, and not from a finger/thumb pivot (because
you will not get the speed you want) or from a lock-wrist position
because this can be damaging to your arm... tendonitis is not
something to toy with. If you already play lock wrist, it will be
hard to change to wrist-only picking (I did it) but it will be worth
it, because it makes it easier to articulate. If you can't or won't
switch, at least take measures to monitor and prevent your forearm
from turning into a block of wood.

no I don't have an Yngwie boot to sell either. However if someone wants my
Rising Force '85 Video, that's a different story.
Headbanger's ball....Didn't Rikki have a different favorite band every week or
was that my imagination?? Come to think of it, Rikki should have stuck to
what he supposedly known best...Running his bar versus his mouth. He didn't
do his homework on many an interview. And then there was Superrock and then
silence as MTV continued to sprial into the suck-zone. MTV it at one point
stood for Music Television, but how many pathetic shows it air versus the
number of videos that it plays. Ugh.
New album that deserves a spin...Union...the new John Corabi (ex-Motley Crue
and Scream) and Bruce Kulick (ex-Kiss, Good Rats, Blackjack). An excellent
effort to keep the metal faith alive.
That be all for now.
