    So, if I've "excercised" many times enough, I won't be able to hear the
    wounderful music of Dream Theater at all... and is that such a good idea?
    I'd rather save my already damaged hearing for the presently released and
    the forthcoming albums of DT (and other artists, as well)...
    And, well, please don't laugh at me now - I've never seen DT live... not
    even on VHS! (Doh!) <:-(

    On the topic "Vai vs. Petrucci"... Whoa man... Deja-Vu!!!
    I believe that I myself started off a discussion like this last week (or
    was it...? Eeh...) - where I stated I though SV had more feeling into his
    play than JP. I can't help I still feel that way, though.

    Damn, this was a completely unnecessary post! Sorry Skadz! Please don't
    unsub me!

    In my mind at least, Vai seems to have a very distinct and idiosyncratic
    style. I think he has taken the lydian mode and really made it his own.
    Whenever I hear a lydian passage it kinda reminds me of Vai. Petrucci is
    more of a traditional player and tends to solo in more common modes and
    recently has moved towards a more bluesy phrasing where Vai sounds like an
    alien. I'm not sure whether Petrucci has really got his own style yet (this
    may not be a fair criticism), but to me his lead playing sounds like a
    combination of Holdsworth, Morse, Di Meola and a few others while his rhythm
    playing reminds me of Hetfield and Lifeson. I think he's own unique
    personality is starting to emerge though. Just my opinion.

    Regards,

    Rainer

    Scarred Records' second Dream Theater release, "Spinning Years 2" has been
    shipping like a madman for the past week or so! It features six of the best
    double-disc DT bootlegs available (count it, 12 discs!!), all on a single
    disc using the CD-quality MP3 format! This is an update from the original
    "Spinning Years". It corrects the gaps between tracks, and completely
    eliminates any warbling or swishy sounds that was characteristic of several
    songs on the original release.

    "SY2" features a full color liner *AND* a painted disc! It looks incredibly
    cool. I've just received the disc printer, so any people who have already
    received the unpainted SY2 discs will receive, for free, an additional
    painted disc in the mail within the next week or so. How's that for
    customer service? =) Not only that, but owners of the original "Spinning
    Years" disc can obtain the update SY2 disc, which includes a painted disc
    and new magazine-quality front liner, for a flat $5!

    Now, if you want to hear several full-length song samples of this immense
    disc, go to the Scarred Records homepage at:
    http://www.geocities.com/soho/2236
    Hear for yourself how awesome these MP3 discs can sound! Also available for
    listening are several clips from my very limited edition Van Halen MP3 disc,
    "Rat Salade", so have fun with those as well.

    Also check out the bootleg listing on my site. You'll find it's probably
    the most extensive listing of Rush and DT bootlegs out there, and most are
    available for replication! With the arrival of the disc printer, I will
    soon expand the bootleg replication service to include full-color liners and
    disc prints, so keep an eye on the page for more info about that.

    Sorry to keep rambling, but a lot's happened lately. =) Another new
    section is the Specials area, which features not-so-hot bootlegs at way
    cheap prices. This week's special is a Rush double-disc bootleg for $15.
    Yup, $15 for two discs!

    Thanks!

    I think it comes from a situation if you get a gift hors,e it porbably has
    bad teeth. Thus, don't look too hard, and accept the gift horse. If you
    look too hard, you'll probably find something to complain about, but do
    you really have a right, seeing as it's a gift horse and all? hehehe...

    Well, fellow jammerz,

    Last night proved to be one helluva memorable experience (just as all the
    DT shows I've been to have been). I'll try not to rehash what Chris "I'll
    get my own bootlegs" Ptacek, Matt "sideburns" Stanich and Derek Franz (BTW,
    are you the long-lost brother to FOTM's drummer - geez you guys look a lot
    alike!) already posted.

    I hooked up with Mattymo and his bud Tom and we cruised down to Chicago.
    Missed our exit, but eventually found the Vic - whew! Got a chance to hang
    with a buncha jammerz - nice to see Chris Ptacek and his gf Margaret, as
    well as Matt Stanich, the Geoff Tate look-alike guy (sorry I forgot your
    name) and everyone else. Kinda funny - there was this one guy, who pretty
    much waited by himself who kept on busting out joints right on the street!
     Didn't seem like he was totally with it - someone told me that he earlier
    that he had gone across the street to take a leak (in the parking lot) and
    had a 40-ouncer. Crazy thing was, he was the first guy to play along with
    MP during MP's solo (and he was pretty good, though he didn't catch on to
    the "match what MP does" part of the solo).

    Anway, it was pretty fun since myself, Mattymo and Tom got to see
    soundcheck. Pretty much just went through LitS, PS and S2M. Before they
    started soundcheck, I repeated my request to Mike that they at least play
    the beginning of TOWHTSTS (ta-whats-its) - I had asked him the same thing
    when they played Madison in November. As usual, it didn't happen during
    the show, but during sound check all of the sudden Mike looked right at me
    and busted out the drum beat for it (right after the mellow intro where the
    drums kick in and the chunky guitar part starts)! Totally kewl! I think
    John M even joined along, but Petrucci was playing something else so the
    song fell apart. Nonetheless, it definitely made my day! Mike and Derek
    practiced tossing a drum stick back and forth - Mike kept on telling Derek
    to "catch the drum stick like a man" since he kept on dropping them (and he
    looked like a sissy when doing it) - pretty funny - later on Mike literally
    started throwing bananas at Derek instead of drum sticks. After sound
    check was over, I took a picture of Mike standing next to his small kit and
    we had a conversation about LTE, what happens after the tour, etc.
    Kiddies, go see DT now, cuz I think its gonna be a while before DT will be
    touring again after the tour with DP/ELP is over. Turns out there's
    another little Petrucci on the way, so at least John will probably take
    some time off. Mike sez he's already gotten a couple other offers for
    other side projects, so there will be other things in the pipeline though.
    Of course, during this time (while talking to Mike after soundcheck) JP
    would start playing something on his guitar each time I'd try to ask Mike a
    kweschun or when Mike tried to respond, so Mike finally told us he'd talk
    to us later "(damn guitarists!!)" <----- quote from LTE's booklet

    Finally, security told us we had to go wait outside since we didn't have
    our passes yet, so we rejoined Matt S, Derek, Dale "this is my first DT
    show" Newbury and everyone else in the line. At this point, we found out
    Chris Ptacek took Derek for a cruise but he already covered that so I
    won't. Once they started letting "special" people in, I got my pass and
    snuck back in and caught the tale end of FOTM's soundcheck which was pretty
    good. I got the chance to talk to the lead singer before they opened the
    doors and he was a very down to earth person - he mentioned that he heard
    the horror stories of Big Wreck but that the tour was going pretty well for
    them. Oh yeah, it turns out FOTM get along pretty well with DT since
    during DT's soundcheck, FOTM's singer was having fun running around taking
    pictures of them and other people. FOTM also watched part of DT's
    soundcheck and applauded and laughed when Mike and Derek were goofing off.

    Chris Ptacek already covered FOTM's performance - all I'll say is give
    these guys a fair chance before making a judgment call - for the most part
    (from the reviews I skimmed from the 'Jam) the overall impression I had
    gotten was that FOTM sucked - and they don't. I'll also say that the
    attitude they had was ten times better than that of BW's - no stupid scowls
    on their faces - the lead singer ran all over the stage through out the set
    slapping everyone's hand and the guys while serious, still looked like they
    were having a good time on stage.

    Again, Chris P covered DT's performance as well so I'll keep mine brief.
    It ROOOOOLED!!!! Okay, I'll ad a bit more: the setlist was very cool
    (though I did miss Crack/Puppies) and it was awesome hearing two of my
    favorite DT songs (ToT and LTL) in the same set - although as I told Derek
    after the show - "you weren't supposed to edit LTL at all" - I understand
    why they did it, I just didn't want to see them do it! Oh well. The
    string of cover-teasers they did - Freebird, Hot for Teacher, The Trooper,
    YYZ and I think a PF track were very cool - before they did the Trooper and
    YYZ - (remember Mattymo - it's pronounced "why why zed" not "why why zee"
    :) I saw Mike signal to JP "two more" - so these teasers (or snippits)
    appear to be spontaneous/off the cuff. For any who care (D-Man and Bogie)
    Mike gave me the setlists for the majority of the shows from Nov 19th on up
    (I had everything else before Nov 19th except the Euro97 and South American
    shows) so they will be typed up shortly.

    Now the one thing that I want to mention that really shows how we
    Ytse-bretheren (and Ytse-sisteren) stick together is this: just before the
    show started, I jumped the barrier where security is so I could move around
    when taking pictures (I had a photo pass). The one security guard told me
    that was dumb of me since I was not gonna be able to jump back over the
    railing (into the front row) after picture time (the first 3 songs) was
    over with. Oh well, nothing I could do now. After I was done taking
    pictures, I went to the side as security directed me. Slowly, I moved my
    way through the mass of people (who at the time were moshing to TTT) and
    when another security guard recognized me and pointed me out to Chris
    Ptacek, Chris grabbed my hand and pulled me back into the front row -
    before they even got to Freebird. My thanx to Chris for doing that!!!
    (Heh - guess we proved that first secruity guard wrong). The moral of the
    story is this: Chris Ptacek is a cool and nice guy in person - just don't
    argue with him in email!! :) :) :)

    After the show, we hung out and Derek came out soon after. He hung out for
    a while, signed stuff, pictures, etc. - it almost seemed like he was out
    there too long since everybody had their stuff signed and we were all
    running out of kweschunz to ask him! Anyway, he picked his girl for the
    evening (Gene Simmons must be his hero!) and later came back with a bottle
    of wine before taking off with her. The bassist and drummer from FOTM came
    out to chat and were very personable. I got to ask the drummer why he
    plays just with socks on and he mentioned he just never could get used to
    playing with shoes on - interesting. Also found out that they had been
    around for 8 years though their drummer had been with them for only 3 (sez
    they went through a Spinal Tap thing - losing drummer after drummer). Mike
    and Marlene were the only other ones to come out to the "after-show", but
    we got the chance to talk with them, take pictures and have stuffed signed.
     I got to talk to Marlene at length and she was telling me how she
    concerned she was about Melody's hearing (since Melody was with them at the
    show) - not only did Marlene put the headphone-type ear plugs on Melody,
    she also took her own in-ear ear plugs and also put those in Melody's ears.
     Marlene also mentioned that Rena and the twins are also touring with DT
    (though they were at the hotel) and how Melody would play with the twins.

    After they left, we headed outside and ran into JP and got a picture or two
    with him. Finally, they boarded the bus and headed to the hotel to get a
    brief night's sleep before their 6AM flight to Cali. Hope they all got
    enough sleep!!

    In closing, I want to say hello to all the Vinnie Kowalski (mix master),
    McGee (hope you're feeling better!!) and fellow jammerz who were at the
    show and to thank DT and especially Mike for everything!!! You guys really
    know how to make your fans special! Thanx again!

    Oh yeah, I love this guy. I have six of his cds and they're all really
    good.
    The ones I have:
    Gatton, Danny (Danny and the Fat Boys)-American Music
    Gatton, Danny-Redneck Jazz
    Gatton, Danny-Unfinished Business
    Gatton, Danny-88 Elmira St.
    Gatton, Danny-Crusin' Dueces
    Gatton, Danny/DeFrancesco, Joey-Relentless
    I still need to get his live one (Danny with a double neck guitar on
    cover)
    and the one with him and rockabilly legend Robert Gordon.
    I even saw him once in LA in about '93. Great show.
    Too bad he had to kill himself.

    Are you serious, Coldfire?!? There's got to be at least 50 progguys for
    every proggirl.

    It was I who reposted Skadz instructions to Damon because Damon

    Can I guess? You took a really really really long time in sending her
    tapes and she got pissed at you and broke up with you, right? ;)

    Message-ID: <355C1D95.44394C07@isd.net>

    Wow, what a night...
    I had the great pleasure of seeing DT for the third time in less than
    six months. And it just keeps getting better.
    I offer my thanks to Chris Ptacek and his lovely counterpart for
    making the six hour trip to Chicago a totally enjoyable experience.
    The hospitality of the Chicago area jammers goes WAY beyond the
    call of duty. Thanks again to Derek Frantz, (I want your Majesty necklace)
    Todd and his Girlfriend/wife? from Ames Iowa, Hugo,(the better living through
    chemistry drummer) The big dude with the glasses (and the DT induced erection) that stood to my left
    during the show, Dale Newberry and company, (you wussy's should
    have stayed for some chow) and to the other jammers that we had dinner with.
    Sorry I forgot some of the names. Hey Chris, the Symphony X CD you gave me
    kicks ass, thanks much. Next time I will drag along my other half, (AKA the warden)
    she is a big DT fan. Unfortunately she's not a big fan of long car rides, and she
    takes her job duties a little too seriously to take a day off work for a concert.
    I will work on this fatal flaw of hers.

    Thanks man, between the explosives and my carelessness with a lit
    cigarette, We now have a convertible! I have some great pics with
    the band, if they turn out well I may post them on my web page.
    Hey Chris, my buddy Mike also took a picture of the flaky looking
    parking attendant just for laughs, I don't think he's a jammer though. hehe
    Thanks again for a great time, I hope I can get you guys to Minnesota for
    the DT/ELP/DP concert in August. Toodles!

    If it is the King Crimson show it should be 100:1.

    This is true. But I don't see any difference between male and female for listening to prog music.

    DT content: See you guys at the Maritime Hall show.

    If anyone cares...Keith Emerson will be playing at the Maritime Hall on this Friday night (May 15) and Marc Bonilla and Glenn Hughes will be an opening act. And Present (Belgian prog) will be playing at the Full Moon Saloon in San Mateo on this Friday night, too. I will be at the Present show.

    Good night, AE
