    perhaps some of the others are NOT?

    Not being a 'sympathizer' myself, but my comment about the lady WAS Tongue in
    Cheek ;-) Or should that be finger somewhere else?

     I think MP once adressed this issue, and said that the cost of the normal
    japanese
     release over in Japan, would cost way more than if they simply ordered an
    import
     american album, so to encourage them to buy the japanese release, they throw
    in
     bonus discs, tracks, locks of JP's hair,...whatever... ><

    Japan gets the bonus tracks for a reason, but I guess I just meant the entire
    eastern hemisphere gets more DT, especially as far as the special gigs go.
    Live In Japan, LATMarquee, awake PPV, unplugged, uncovered, the double set,
    etc, because they have more fans over there

    I'm starting to doubt in this guy considering Satch music! :) And I
    don't know him from other place.

    > but he's usually just way too restrained for Satch's music.

    Maybe Satch tells them: "Guys, I know you're all great musicians, but I
    AM THE STAR HERE, so you better calm down and lemme show the world how
    good I am on this geetar!" ;)

    > Crystal Planet would be a great album, but the
    > drumming on it is really dry,

    That's exactly what I hate in CP. Too anoing rhtyhm section. While Satch
    might do an awesome guitar job, after 3 minutes you can't stand that
    bum-bap, bum-bap drum anymore! It doesn't even goes bum-bap,
    bum-bum-bap! :)

    It's so simple that it almost looks like they want it to sound that
    simlpe! Which I found weird.

    > I'm used to MP

    Not necesarilly MP kinda drumming but anymore, "more feel" as someone
    said.

    > I love Mangini, Deen Castronovo, and all of

    Does Mangini plays also on the studio Fire Garden album? I'm lazy to go
    get the CD myself! ;)
    I know Greg plays on Cryin' Machine!
    But I don'rt think he plays on other Vai albums.

    Keyword: short time. Things look pretty fucked up after a short time.
    They turn out to be much more fucked up and interesting after more time. :)

    Things aren't always what they seem, and while we all generally practice
    intolerance towards each other most of the time and get a great kick out of
    bitching about things left and right, you should realize that 1200 people

    be personally played for them at which shows... *I* happen to think that if

    Hello,
            In the same post came these two lines:
    >Joe just wants a drummer that gives him the space to go bananas
    Then:
    > Go see Dave Weckl or Simon Phillips....

    Um... Simon Phillips played with Joe for a period of time, so that would
    directly refute your own point. Also, I don't think many people regard
    Gregg Bissonette and Manu Katche as drummers that just "fill space".

    >People that buy his records and visit his concerts
    >are mostly guitarists.....

    Um... I have several friends from both high school and college that never
    picked up a guitar and own Joe albums. Blue Dream and Extremist especially.
    This is the kind of generalization that pigeonholes Satch as a shredder and
    ignores the fact the he's the best-selling instrumental guitarist ever.
            And Korg said:
    >might it be that old one, I Am Become Death? sounds
    >like that kind of title

    Actually, this line is from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The whole line is
    "I am become death, shatterer of worlds". I'm not sure where Joe picked it
    up, but two possible places are Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (it's written
    on a soldier's helmet), or the reports that have Robert Oppenheimer saying
    this when he viewed the first A-bomb test (that's what the Time Machine
    liner notes suggest).
            Simon Christie wrote:
    >Satch worked with Nathan East and Manu Katche on the
    >Joe Satriani Album

    Actually, I was trying to determine exactly who the original poster was
    referring to when he said "Satch was a bastard to Manu and Nathan". Its
    quite possible he mistook Doug Wimbish and Simon Phillips for Nathan and
    Manu since there was a tenuous in-studio relationship among the trio. Doug
    and Simon did two songs on Extremist and one one Time Machine (if you can
    call Woodstock Jam a song).
            And Joe D. said:
    >No, but good guess. It's "Dweller on the Threshold" from
    >Time Machine.

    Thanks for the answer to this week's most burning question!

    Ahhhh, you must be listening to WJJO. A killer station we even bought an antenna to pick it up (we live just south of the WI border) I know that DT gets a decent amount of air time. They also play alot of new music that you would never hear on a corperate station.

    TheCowGod postulated (re: Satch's Lovecraft-inspired song): >might it be that old one, I Am Become Death? sounds like that kind of title >:) Moo.

    Although reasonably sure this is tongue-in-cheek, I thought I'd straighten others out before they got the wrong idea. The quote "I am become death" is from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Full phrase: "I am become death, shatterer of worlds."

    Rumor had it that Oppenheimer (who helped develop the atomic bomb) quoted from the Book of the Dead when seeing his creation tested for the first time. That gave Joe an idea, and off he went with it.

    First and foremost I would like to apologize for my post about Satch. I know I probably offended most of you Satriani fans, again I apologize. I also got the name of the video wrong and I still don't know the name of it. However it was Katche' and East on the vid. Being I'm not much of a Satriani fan myself I mistakenly allowed myself to fly off the handle and post about somthing that I obviously haven't done my homework on.

    Hey everyone,

    I decided to make an MP3 of Scarred from Dream Theater's performance in New Haven, CT on 10/25/97.

    I think you'll be very pleased with the quality. But, unfortunately, since I was fooling around with encoding bit rates and such, I deleted the source .WAV file after creating a 192 kbps .MP3 file, so the MP3 is about 16 megs in size -- as opposed to 12 megs under 128kbps. Oh well.

    Anyways, here's where you can get the download:

    mindcrime@mindcrime.mit.edu/mp3s/">ftp://mindcrime:mindcrime@mindcrime.mit.edu/mp3s/

    Grab the "Scarred_(NH).mp3" file.

    Take care, Bogie
