    That, or maybe the Scarred solo. Or Voices. Or LiTS. Or the middle of
    LTL. There are too many to choose from with JP.

    Hello all...

    I'm behind in reading jams, and I just read Arash's post about the
    tracklisting for the new DT...I was wondering if this is reliable shit
    or merely speculation? And to the guy that said "they already made
    I&W"...good point, I was thinking that myself. By the way has anyone
    out there heard a band called Psychotic Waltz? They're a kickass
    prog-metal band out of CA...you should check them out if you get a
    chance. Don't be expecting anything as complex or virtuosic as DT, but
    they're great nonetheless...also...any fans of (much) heavier
    jazz/fusion influenced shit, check out the solo record by Fredrik
    Thordendal. He's the lead guitarist of Meshuggah, and there is some
    awesome shit on that disc. The actual title is Fredrik Thordendal's
    Special Defects-"Sol Niger Within" It's on Nuclear Blast (europe only)
    and it's a killer 41 minute tune...if you like complex, heavy shit,
    you'll love it (and it got a good reviewfrom Modern Drummer) Well
    that's enough shit. Gotta run.

    Bobby (bathing in the poison as always) <--NOT the lame band

    P.S. as to JLB's haircut...all I can say is...there goes another one.
    He still rules obviously.

    Good idea! Let's do it. And you're absolutely right that we should
    all vote for the "Under a Glass Moon" solo, because it won't help if
    we all vote for different solos.

    aah...refreshing realization of the true meaning of a song. thanx Bri.
    i completely agree that whether the song is 20 minutes long or 3 minutes
    long, if it gets the message across that it was meant to, it's worth
    it. i listen to DT because i love the way they inject emotion into
    every song that they write, every second represents its own
    feeling...every note a cry of hope or a cry of misery or a thousand
    emotions in between. music touches the soul, and DT achieves that more
    than anyone can hope for. that's all i have to say about that.
    (*phew*)

    by the way, happy birthday brian! and don't worry, alcohol will be
    legal soon enough... ;^P

    "Eve" did come on the 3" bonus disc with the Japanese Awake, but I believe
    the item in question that MP does not own is the 3" disc that has "Tears"
    (Rush) on it, which was given to those who mailed in the little slip that
    came with the Japanese ACOS. "Return this slip for a free limited edition
    gift" or something.

    T. Bozzio is a god on drums. He's from the early (70's) school of
    prog/fusion playing. Yes, he can do ANYTHING with seperate limbs and
    tempo's---- I've got a instructional video of his where he demonstrates
    a SICK level of limb seperation. He worked with Jeff Beck a bunch. Check
    out "Beck's Guitar Shop". Then he did some "radio" stuff w/Missing
    Persons in the 80's.

     Question. Who has drummer Dean Castronovo worked with ? Which CD's
    should I get to hear more of his prog/fusion playing ? He ROCKS on
    Working Man !! I mean DAMN, he's a hot one !!

    NO SHIT !!! I saw this guy with Extreme and I was COMPLETELY blown
    away....talk about limb independance !! I've never seen a drum kit like
    his either ! His mount toms didn't sweep to either side in descending
    size !! Smallest was center, then they alternated !! Like nothing I've
    EVER seen !! How does one describe this....let's see...6" center, 8"
    right, 10" left, 12" right, 14" left etc.....he'd play left handed a
    while, then right handed then half and half !! I mean he'd ride with
    left hand and sometimes use his LEFT foot for bass drum, then he'd use
    his right foot, then he'd ride with right hand and switch feet back and
    forth!! It was a TOTAL mind fuck for a drummer to see !! You should've
    seen him go around his toms !! He's start at the center (smallest) and
    seperate his hands right hand going right and left hand going left each
    hitting the toms twice....kinda like half a double stroke roll per hand
    FAST.
    Ok. Enough outta me...but drummers If you EVER get a chance to see this
    man play...GO SEE HIM !!!

    Any other jammers in South Carolina ?? Just wondering...respond
    privately please. :)

    Be careful, it might just have been witty "sarcasm", right Graham?

    But even though I think Graham's response was a little overdone, I have to
    agree with the sentiment. If you go through life looking for evils like
    this, of course you're going to find a few. If the band was called "We Are
    Superior", and was a bunch of skinheads singing songs about racial hate, I
    might even agree with the assessment. But taking the nationality and
    one-word name of the band and forming a wild-assed accusation like that is
    ludicrous at best... and slanderous at worst.

    Okay...just wanted to set the record straight. If that was, in fact,
    intended as a joke, then I apologize for my response. But people, please
    realize that humor doesn't always translate well in this medium...if
    something is a joke, make sure there is something indicating it as such. As
    we've seen a bit lately, the humor is not always as obvious to the reader
    as it was to the poster.

    Sorry but for me some subjects just aern't funny at all and the Superior
    gag is one of them.
    As for Germans not having a sense of humour about this: My best friend is
    German (loves jokes)
    but if I was stupid enough to say something like that, (even) as a joke,
    I'd expect to be laid flat

    Hello,=20

    This is just a little note to all of you who have Mike Bahr's "Stream Of =
    Consciousness" on the way. I just wanted to let you know that he lost =
    the master and has moved to Tasmania. So all of you who have discs on =
    order will just be out of that money.

    Any way, I got mine, and it's absolutely unreal. I'm so glad he got a =
    few shipped before he moved. The sound is fantastic throughout the discs =
    and it has some really, really cool moments. I'm glad I'll be one of the =
    4 or 5 people that get to enjoy this really awesome recording. I love =
    the extra's that got stuck on the end of the disc (Ptcheak, (or however =
    you spell it), it's worth 3 times the price!!!!).

    So, I'll be making copies myself for anybody who wants them at $169.99 =
    per disc. Since Mike's gone and out of the business, I'm sure you'll =
    find this a bargain. Anyway, you can send your money to:

    He played in Neal Schon's band, Hardline... more of an AOR type rock band,
    but some of his most impressive stuff is on Tony MacAlpine's Maximum Security.
    He also played on tour with Geezer Butler... I still kick myself for missing
    that...

    I'm not too keen on what else he has played on.

    Jammers,

    I have the TAB books for Images and Words and Awake... Does DT have any other TAB books out? FII?

    Also, do any of the following bands have TAB books and if so, where to buy them:

    Symphony X Stratovarius Fates Warning Shadow Gallery Enchant Superior

    Thanks

    I agree with the fact that Graham probably was a bit harsh on this dude...but I also agree with Graham that stuff like that has no place on the jam....stereotypically, but subtly, accusing all Germans of being nazi's is a little over the top...(that's what he did!) If that was the casae the jam would be filled with Christian condemning the Norwegian band "Emperor", and Homosexuals and feminists condemning "Anal Cunt"... Quite simply...get over it...If you don't like the name.....bad luck...if it was a joke....bordering on poor taste.....

    But politics and religion aren't allowed on the jam...right?

    Cheers

    I mentioned before....early Napalm Death....(From Enslavement to Obliteration/Scum....54 trax....66 minutes) starring Bill Steer of Carcass and Lee Dorrian of Cathedral....interesting stuff....

    Good Call with the Blood Duster Chris!! Those guys rock....in a groovy kinda way! :) (I saw 'em three weeks ago!)

    As I mentioned in my last Post....Anal Cunt....40 songs for 40 minutes approx....

    And you can't beat the Dead Kennedies.....

    "I like short songs" (repeat fast 13 times...end song) :)

    Cheers
