    NO ! It is my firm believe that your original post was pre-meditated
    to cause maximum amount of trouble on this list, you've done it before.
    Your right, you don't have a life and I think you are some weirdo who
    likes being the centre of our attention/anger.

    I think the best thing is for someone to ask the Ytsejam moderator
    to remove you from the list and ban you from posting to this list ever
    again.

    Whether or not it is hard to show respect through a mailing list does not
    matter. All these names are real people, and thus they demand just as much
    respect as if they were standing in the room with you as you type.
    ESPECIALLY when you are talking to Mike Portnoy. Lest I remind you that if
    it weren't for him and the rest of DT, we wouldn't even be here.

    There is your answer. You do not deserve respect, so why should we give it
    to you?

    no, they don't tour regularly...

    last year's Cornerstone fest was their first US performance in 4 years.
    they've been playing and such over in Germany and Europe a lot. they are
    playing again at this year's cornerstone, and also at TomFest in
    Oregon...plus 8 or so dates in the summer- but no cities or dates have been
    released yet.

    oh, Cornerstone is in Bushnell, IL, from July 1-5. SM plays on July 2nd at
    midnight, and the Galactic Cowboys play on July 4th at midnight.

    "Twilight at the Zuq (Live)" by Strunz and Farah http://www.afn.org/~afn39111/twilight.zip

    There's been all this talk recently about who are the true guitar gods. I've known for years that they're Jorge Strunz and Ardeshir Farah. Talk about speed? These guys may not be the fastest, but they're fast and it sounds effortless. Their playing is also musical and well improvised.

    Strunz and Farah's music comes from Latin America and the Middle East, the old world flamenco and the new world of jazz improvisation, traditional classical guitars and electric bass. As Adrian Belew says, "I like it!"

    This song, "Twilight at the Zuq" is from their live album, LIVE (catchy title, yes?), which the two have produced on their own label, Selva. This mp3 sample is in mono and could be a bit better quality, but still this isn't bad. It's a good introduction to these musicians (Strunz-right channel, Farah-left).

    It's zipped to keep Netscape and the AOL browser from cooking the file. It's 2.5 mb and will be gone in a week. Have fun.

    behind on jams, cuz first i was busy and then i didn't feel like reading, and then i figured I've gone this long without knowing the set-list, let me be surprised on Tuesday night.........

    what I do want to know, though, is any impressions about the opening act.....so if anyone lucky enough to see DT on this leg already would be kind enough to clue me in on their impressions on the opener, please send those thoughts along to ahtrap@hotmail.com

    This is a question for the jammers that have some knowalge of music. I'm in a band thats your basic "Rush" three -peice (guitar, drums, and a bass player that does some doubling on keys). We do one DT song, peruvian skies and we also do the begining of Erotomania in our medley (we cut it off right before the clean guitar comes in) but we want to do more. You Not Me was thrown around, but we decided that we should look for another (not a good showcase of DT's material). Burning My Soul was brought up, but we felt that I didn't have the right voice for it. So...any suggestions? What DT songs do you think we could do (excluding The Silent Man) with the "Rush" setup, also figuring in that the keyboard doubling stuff is more like what Geddy did around the 2112-Hemispheres era, not very heavy with the keys. Also consider the fact that I'm not exactly as good as Petrucci with the guitar.

Oh well, I'm probably gonna try and the them with ELP and Deep Purple (THAT should be an interesting show) at Jones Beach in August. One thing, anyone know how the show is gonna be? I mean, is it gonna me DT for an hour, then ELP for an hour, then Deep Purple for 2 hours or somethin? Some info would be nice.

    Ok, on the subject of FII, lest just look at how many songs can fit the "listener friendly" mainstream style, and how many can fit the prog style:

    1. New Millennium - prog 2. You Not Me - mainstream 3. Peruvian Skies - prog 4. Hollow Years - mainstream 5. Burning my Soul - prog 6. Hell's Kitchen - prog 7. Lines in the Sand - prog 8. Take Away My Pain - mainstream 9. Just Let Me Breathe - prog 10. Anna Lee - mainstream 11. Trial of Tears - prog

    so lets see...4 out of 11 are mainstream sounding, which gives you 7 prog songs...and people stil bitch! And I'm gonna defend TAMP for a sec cause John wrote it for his father who died, did you really expect him to write a big progressive complex song for such a tragic event? I mean, thats a case where you'd want it to be emotional and not complex. And for another note, I do think that LitS is their most "Rush" sounding song to date. Anyone agree?

    I don't mind You Not Me either. Like I've said before, I don't mind a song like Half the World or Learning to Fly. I mean, just cause the song has a chorus and isn't in 9/8, does that make it a bad song? John still rocks during the solo, Mike does some cool double bass work. I know I'd rather listen to a more proggier song from FII, like ToT or PS, but just cause the song isn't complicated doesnt mean its bad. With this attitude, you'd probably say the Beatles suck.

    <<The funny thing is, that if I want to "convert" someone into a dreamer, I show them this song first (especially if they`r into alternative or grunge) >>

    whoa right a second there! You Not Me is NOT alternative and grunge sounding. Hard Rock if anything, but calling it alturnative or grunge is an insult.

    Second Off:

    Making a DT conversion tape for a woman. (She might be going with me to the SF show, as opposed to the woman who will be going with me to the LA show. Hm. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that ... heh)

    Anyhoo, I know this topic has come up before, but I thought I'd share what I put on the tape (100 minute tape) -- I had a bit of an advantage, since she told me that Queensryche used to be her favorite band. So, I went for a bit of diversity over the standard "mellow" conversion tapes.

    Side 1: Pull Me Under Metropolis Caught in a Web Scarred To Live Forever (studio) Eve (Studio)

    Side 2: A Change of Seasons Burning My Soul Hell's Kitchen Lines in the Sand

    And there you have it.
