    Sorry about posting twice. I didn't think the first one went thru 'cuz
    my shit mail system (pine, of which I will soon be free) crashed after I
    sent the first one. Anyhow...

    Someone mentioned using triple flange earplugs. I remember using those
    10+ years ago when I visited a shooting range (10 out of 10 holes on the
    black, tankyouveddymuch [tm]). So which do you guys think is better --
    the triple flange kind or the foam that you cram into your ears? Better =
    cut the sound as much as possible because my hearing is already shot. :)

    Define West Coast, Lisa. (: I'm stuck in a closet with Pearl Jam up in
    Seattle, and I am afraid that I'm missing out on not only 'prog chicks'
    but rides to shows that don't exist up here. I'm going to make the grand
    assumption that you're in good ol' California. (: Anyone wanna hijack
    the tourbus and drive them up to my backyard for a brief show?

    re: girlfriends

    you're telling me some of you folks won't stay with a chick if she doesn't
    like dream theater. what if she's incredible in bed? what if (god willing),
    she can suck a golf ball thru 50 feet of garden hose? i think even I could
    make amends. ahh, it don't matter. my gfriend doesn't complain about what i
    like (at least she didn't mind going to a dt show with me).

    re: thought industry

    is it just me, or did metal blade release a brand new thought industry cd
    without the world knowing? i was at tower yesterday, and there it was. looks
    like live, remixed and unreleased stuff (did they break up?).i forget the
    name- it's long, but looks interesting.

    re: tori amos

    the new album smokes! if any of you are unsure about whether to go for it,
    TAKE THE PLUNGE. she affirmatively answers a crucial question- "can she
    groove"?

    that's it for now. peace.

    I sometimes use the last few seconds of Caught in a Web as my Windows
    Closing sound, works out pretty cool.

    And on the subject of prog-loving women, my girlfriend's great... she even
    did her term paper for 20th Century Music on Symphony X's Divine Wings of
    Tragedy :) She can even play the soprano sax lines from Another Day :)

    Well,I know I'm kinda late with this,but who cares?
    Here's my opinions about I&W and Awake.I haven't listened FII enough
    to say anything about it without sounding like I didn't know what I'm
    talking about...

         Images & Words:

     1. Pull Me Under : A-

        Great song,but I've listened too much of it.
        Kinda long intro.I absolutely love the part
        where band stops and James goes:
        "Watch the sparrow falling..."

     2. Another Day : B
        
        I liked it at first,but now I think it's a bit
        boring.Great guitar solo!Really show how JP can
        "play for the song"

     3. Take the Time : A-
       
        I like it.James goes really high on this one.
        Nice guitar/keyboards interplay.

     4. Surrounded : B+

        First I thought they totally ruined the song
        when the band kicked in,but I've started to
        really like this one.My girlfriend likes to
        sing along with this one,as well as PMU.

     5. Metropolis : A+

        I love this one!It's a blast to play along with!
        This was the song that really dropped my jaw when
        I heard I&W for the first time.

     6. Under a Glass Moon : A-

        I really like vocals on this one.Also great guitar
        solo.This one is has it all.

     7. Wait for Sleep : B-
     
        I loved this at first,but now it really bores me.
        I guess it should be played right before LTL,
        it really makes a great intro.

     8. Learning to Live : A

        This is THE prog song of the album.It has some many
        themes and movements,that it's stunning.Myung also
        did great work with lyrics for this one.

           Awake :

     1. 6:00 : C
     
        I don't like this too much.It's boring.I usually skip
        this one.Great intro,tough.
     
     2. Caught in a Web : B-

        I didn't like this one either at first,but I've found
        some good bits out of it recently.Lyrics are pretty good.

     3. Innocence Faded : B+

        REALLY poppy chorus!Kinda boring at the beginning,but
        gets better after first chorus.The end of the song is
        very good,and I like the solo.

     4. Erotomania : A+

        I love this one!So does my girlfriend,and that really
        amazes me.She even made me tape this.I love playing
        along with this.Guitars and keys are really good all
        the way.

     5. Voices : A-

        This song is really moody.I like the lyrics.Great song
        to listen in a dark room,when I'm really fucked up...
     
     6. Silent Man : B

        Nice song,but bores me a little...

     7. Mirror : A-

        Ok,I know this should be about my opinions,but I just
        have to say that my girlfrien as well as my mother
        really like the intro on this one.And so do I.
        It gets boring in the middle,but gets better again
        in the end.

     8. Lie : A+

        GREAT lyrics!Really heavy song.I truly love this one.
        The solo in the end,where Mirror takes over again
        is one of the best I've heard!

     9. Lifting Shadows of a Dream : B

        Really mellow,and a bit boring in the beginning,but
        the instrumental interlude in the middle is great!
        
    10. Scarred : A+

        One of the best on this album.Really emotional.
        Great lyrics again.Good solos from both,Kevin
        and John.

    11. Space-Dye Vest : A-

        I guess I'm a bit tired of this song,otherwise
        it would be worth A.Everyone who I've played this
        to has liked it.I like the use of samples here.

    Ok,that's about it.Remember,these are all "IMO",so there's no
    need to be offended.Hell,it's my second post today.I'm really on
    tonight!!!

    Hmm. Kevin Madden, Spy. :) Seriously, there are two things I have learned
    over the years of pounding my hearing:

    1. The expensive (12db of reduction) Sonic II's do work - triple flanges and
    all - but are rather uncomfortable, and I can't wear them while we're
    playing. That's OK, though, because our stage volume is about half of what
    most clubs run at. The reason Yngwie is so freakin' loud is that he plays
    INSANELY loud onstage, thereby making the soundman have to crank the mains
    to get a good mix. "If it's too loud, you're too old" no longer applies -
    I've seen shows that were SO loud they weren't even LISTENABLE, much less
    enjoyable.

    2. Cymbals are the worst, man. If we rehearse the day after a show, EJ can
    put me in some severe pain just by hitting a crash when I'm near it.

    Scott - long time no speak! This guy's in a really cool progressive thrash
    band called Ataxia - or at least used to be, I didn't read the .sig

    Check them out - I loaned the tape to another band member and haven't been

    that has the Cynic guys, but i have only heard a couple tunes
    from that.

    thanks for the kind words.

    the band still exisits, but we're down to just me and drums,
    since the other 2 guys moved out of town. we did record some
    tunes w/o vocals before they left. now we're writing all
    instrumentals [easier than finding a singer!] w/ 7 string
    guitar, and trying to record more tunes, around working and
    stuff. i hope to have a tape done in 6-8 months with all that
    assorted stuff on it, but it's moving really slow.

    > Check them out - I loaned the tape to another band member and haven't been

    wow, that's cool. send me your address off-list and i can send
    you another one. if anyone else is interested, check out the
    sound clips on my home page. the tunes are 2-3 years old, old
    Metallica style riffs in odd meters. i think they're cool but
    i wish we had our newer stuff on tape. i'd be happy to tape
    trade with people if anyone wants a demo.

    good ol' KD. by accident, i played a single [45 rpm] of his on
    the radio once at 33 rpm. it sounded like sludge metal with
    growling vocals, it was hilarious.

    You've already lost the audience -- you took way longer than 30-40 seconds
    to start the lyrics (something just over a minute). Too too long.

    Remember -- radio likes vocals to sing along with -- a minute and 20
    seconds for an intro *instantly* makes this much less than radio friendly,
    especially when Dream Theater has so much to "prove" on rock radio. Why
    go against the grain?
