    I have Age of Impact and Tyranny, both on which D.C. cooper sings on, and his
    voice is so cool!!! I was wondering if he sounds like that on moving target by
    Royal hunt, and if the music is quality too. You can just e-mail the results
    rather that wasting YtseJam space! Thanks!

    Satriani needs to get a real drummer instead of a functional one.
    Although I am somewhat biased on this subject (being a drummer),
    just look at what Mike Mangini does on Fire Garden. Too bad
    he didn't have Gregg Bissonnette (are all the consonants in his
    name doubled except the B?) this time. Jeff Campitelli has good
    time but no feel, ya know?
    >

    Good call! I've been trying to figure out how to say that for a long time
    (ever since the '97 G3 tour), and you took the unformed words right off the
    tip of my tongue. Jeff can rip it up, but he NEVER does, except in the last
    two measures of songs (and these aren't on ANY of the recordings!), but he's
    usually just way too restrained for Satch's music. Crystal Planet would be
    a great album, but the drumming on it is really dry, and it detracts from
    the songs a lot (I'm used to MP throwing in those extraneous twelfth-note
    fills - I'm spoiled as hell). I love Mangini, Deen Castronovo, and all of
    Steve Vai's other drummers (especially his kick-ass (I mean cheap-ass) drum
    machine on the OLD shit :) ), and wish Joe would get a drummer that suited
    his style (NO MORE EXCLUSIVE HI-HAT/SNARE/KICK). Bissonnette did a much
    better job on "Time Machine"'s live disc...

    What the hell is it with you people who sit here and wag the dog over
    Metallica all the time anyway? Let me throw something into the pool here.
    Me: personally I don't like Load and beyond, but really enjoy everything in
    Metallica's previous backlog. My little brother: loves Load, and likes some
    old Metallica stuff. Me: I bought Load and didn't like it. Solution: I
    give my Load CD to my little brother, I feel good about supporting my little
    bro in whatever he chooses to listen to, my little brother scored big on a
    CD he kept borrowing from me, and my little brother turns it around and gets
    me hooked on the Dave Matthew's Band.

    Moral: What the hell does it matter where Metallica takes their music as
    long as someone likes it? Is it really worth it trying to enforce your
    opinion on another person even though you know damn well it will only
    reinforce their own? Rather, I feel it is much better to support others in
    what they wish to listen to and keep an open mind about it. You never know,
    it's likely that they'll do the same for you.

    Howdy all -

    Well, it seems that the mighty Metallica debate has reared its ugly head again. Anyway, this whole big nasty mess started with Roger's initial question about the new Metallica album. Well, as someone mentioned, the album itself won't be released until the 24th, but as I type this, the brand new single is ending on my stereo (and you can bet that the tape player was recording!). It's a cover of Bob Seger's AWESOME tune "Turn the Page". Now, I have always loved this song, but 'Tallica's version is OUTSTANDING! They spiced up a relatively laid-back tune, and it really rocks. Anyway, I won't get into that whole "they suck" or "they don't suck" debate, cuz this isn't the forum for this. But, to answer Roger's question, at least the first new cover on the album is absolutely GREAT! :-)

    In regards to the "Tyranny" vs. "Carved In Stone" comparison/debate, my wife has always claimed Shadow Gallery to be "wussy" based on her exposure to CiS and their first album. However, she has since fallen in love with Tyranny and admits that it is worlds better than CiS. To put it in perspective, she is a big Queensryche, DT, Fates Warning, and Stratovarius fan. So, while it is a SAFE bet that if you don't like CiS, you won't like Tyranny, it certainly is not a SURE bet. For what it's worth, I say give "Tyranny" a shot. IMHO, it's the best album I've heard this year so far by A LOT.

    'Nuff said for now. See ya.... Matt T.

    OK, I was under the impression that Skadz had made it very clear what is expected of every 'jammer here on the list. It doesn't seem to help.

    Now, "the Doc" is obviously on this list in order to give everyone a hard time. So, please everyone, from now on we all ignore whatever the Doc say. If you feel upset or have a need to respond - do it privately. If this sad person feels he need to post here, let him do it AND IGNORE HIM.

    And I beg our Skadz: Please remove anyone from the list who post about this subject one more time.

    Yours

    Old Farmer McEcksthrey observed:

    > Mosh lurks for eons and as soon as the M word is uttered he > creeps forth from his dark hole to spread his poison across the land. I love it. :)

    Is there any more evidence needed that the "season" has arrived? Dr. Mosh has crawled out of his cave and is now wildly swinging his verbal club, preparing for mating contests which will grant him prime territory near the stage in which to gather a herd of fine females.

    Unfortunately for the good Doctor, this particular form of mating ritual has not proven successful. It's approximately 40,000 years out of date. But this was expected by researchers when they thawed him out of the glacial ice in which he'd been frozen all that time.

    After several blows to the ego and to polite ytsedom in general, Stickmaster D. inquired:

    > This a serious question to all 'Jammers..... >>>>Do we want a guy like that on our ML??? > Dear Skadz (Ytsejam Moderator)... Is it possible to remove this person from > the list??? You must be convinced this is ain't funny anymore.....

    The gentle Doc is above the law. Any attempts to censor him will result in several more blows to your cd collection. Don't fight it, resistance is futile.

    And finally "Max Verran" asked:

    > So I hear now is the human mating season? Does that explain all the > spice on the jam in the last week?

    Can there be any doubt?

    Isn't this fun?, BH

    You are kidding right? This is hilarious. Dino is like a bad smell, you can't get rid of him : )

    We know you are relatively new Stickmaster D. Perhaps before suggesting that a Ytsejam vet get kicked off the list he helped create (I am a bit rusty on my Ytse-history), you should probably find out who he is. Doc, for better or worse, is here to stay.

    And besides, if he stays, you can bug the shit out of him to get you backstage at some of the CA shows...

    Back to your regularly scheduled Metallica-bashing.

    Mine arrived about then but I wasn't expecting it until about another week.....

    So i did a token mailbox check, not looking for OiaL, and lo and behold....there it was in all it's glory.....

    This resulted in a quick change of my "going to the movies" plan and I settled i for a night of tunes....

    Overall i'm totally stoked....it's an excellent album.....jaaaaaaaammmmmeeessss is excellent, Derek too - though his solo is a little short I thought....still good.....JP, MP and JM nees no acclaim

    OiaL has really made me appreciate the FII songs - TOT, JLMB, LITS, TAMP, HY, PS.....They seem to work much better live.....

    Anyway, enough rambling....

    i was under the impression that almost all death style singers use some degree of reverb etc....but not total voice changing effects.....

    This song is one of the fastest Metallica has ever played. And James sounds so pissed. The song is about a child that has grown tired of having his freedom limited by his parents. BTW, this whole album (AJFA) has a very dark feel, since its first song, "Blackened". Recommended, if you don't know it.

    Hummm... I don't know. Some bands do sound like they have put some effects, but others don't. The more "screamed" vocals (At the Gates, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity) seem to be natural (well, at least I can scream like that for a good deal of time, while still maintaing the "quality"). The "cookie monster", deeper vocals are harder to accomplish (say, Amorphis, Deicide) and I think that they use some sort of effects.

    But after listening to Barney Greenway say that "Noise", I'm not so sure that all vocalists use effects. The man's gotta a real low voice (or there were effects involved since he started saying anything -- was this the cause he was testing the mike?)

    Anyway, other vocals which seem to be "true" include some of Dan Swano's on "Crimson" and Mikael Akerfeldt's on "Morningrise" or "Orchid"... Mikael *DID* use something on the first verse of "Demon of the Fall" (you know, the "Silent dance with death/Everything is lost/Torn by the arrival of Autumn/The blink of an Eye" part).

    At first, I didn't like it, but then I came to be used to it and now I think that it's essential to the feeling of the album, but one of my preferred parts of MAYH is, definitely, the instrumental "Epilogue". It gives me so many chills...

    > If you want fast and gutteral....check out early Kataklysm - > Temple of Knowledge....if you make it through the entire album your > a true fucking legend....the sounds like a dog barking!! :)

    Hummm... Nothing like being challenged. :-) I just went to check something about this band, and the most I could find was this: <http://www.dse.nl/inferno/issue9/kataklsm.html> which is interesting, anyway. :-)

    Now, let's see if I can find some MP3 files, floating around the net...

    []s, Roger...

    P.S.: Well understood: some black metal shrieking is as humanly impossible as some cookie monster vocals... I'm just saying that the more shouted vocals are plausible without effects. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rogerio Brito - rbrito@ime.usp.br - http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Undergraduate Computer Science Student - "Windows?

    Hmmm..I dunno. I kinda like his drumming on CP. Its neat, it grooves, it doesn't get in the way. Lots of fills don't really appeal to me...unless it's DT, then it fits right in. But Satch's music is much simpler, and doesn't seem to require many 12th note fills. Just my opinion though :) More groove, less chops.
