    Well, you know, I can sing nearly an octave higher than that in falsetto
    (and most people can and still make it sound decent), but that is NOT
    falsetto. Go ahead and listen to LtL, TTT, AD, ACoS. They all E's which
    are DEFINITELY not falsetto. LtL is an F#, so I'm SURE he can sing a G.
    And he's got kids, so I guess he's not a castrotto... :)

    <<< that part is incredibly falsetto. Yeah, it's impressive that he sings
    that high, but I think it sounds pretty cheezy since he can't add the
    fullness of his natural voice. Plus, that line just seems to be way too
    high in the mix relative to the otehr vocal parts, but that could just
    be a characteristic of it's highness and thin tone. go listen to it,
    and it's easy to hear the falsetto. >>>

    I got into Tool right when "Undertow" came out, and I think that
    Undertow's a little better. But a lot of people got into Tool after
    Aenima, and like that best. I'll admit that I thought it was a little
    "dull" at first. Too much excess sound effects (BS) between songs. But
    you should give it more of a chance. It grows on you, and there's some
    really cool parts buried in there, you just have to find them.

    According to the IMDB, Trevor Rabin wrote the scores for the following movies:

    The Glimmer Man (1996)
    Con Air (1997)
    Homegrown (1998)
    Armageddon (1998)
    Enemy of the State (1998)
    Jack Frost (1998)

    The score for The Rock (1996) was composed by Nick Glennie-Smith, Harry
    Gregson-Williams, with "additional music" by Don Harpera and Steven M.
    Stern, and "two themes" by Hans Zimmer. I believe Mr. Zimmer receives
    primary billing for the score.

    I have too much time on my hands :)

    Message-ID: <19981119000148.GHWV5793@239157822worldnet.att.net>

    Hello,

    >for the movie "Enemy of the State",
    >that Trevor Rabin is doing the music?

    I think Trevor is in contract with producer Jerry Bruckenheiner, as (to my
    knowledge) he has scored every one of Jerry's films over the last three
    years.

    > Does anyone know all the songs where JP uses his 7-string ?

    Awake:
            6:00, CiaW, Voices, Mirror, Lie, Scarred? (not sure there),
            and SDV is either dropped-D or a 7 string
    ACOS:
            ACOS
    FiI:
            New Millenium, JLMB

    Those are the ones I know of. I have frequently wondered why, if so many DT
    songs are on a 7 string, the JPM models are not 7 strings themselves. Not
    that they don't kick ass in their own right.
            And since I'm on the subject, a quick warning to all you guitarists: when
    buying a geetar with a Floyd Rose, DO NOT BUY A BASSWOOD BODY GUITAR. I
    just found out, after a $80 repair estimate, that most luthiers consider
    basswood too soft to support a Floyd. In the case of my guitar, one of the
    posts is angling forward in the wood because its too soft to support it.
    And yes, the low-end RGs are basswood (mine's a Washburn MG, same thing as
    an RG really). Just an FYI.

    So I guess those of you who don't like KJLB's upper register ramblings don't
    like John Arch, huh... I was listening to "The Spectre Within" earlier and
    I was amazed at how much he wanders. I'd say about half is singing is on
    "AHH", just acting like an instrument, not a vocalist at all (absolutely no
    lyrics). Also, how many of you like Arch better than Alder (probably not
    too many, eh?)? He suits FW's older, more metal-oriented style. They've
    sure calmed down a bit...

    reasons i dig DT so much.....

    background (octave doubled) vox at about 8:00, when he sings the

    i guess it applies to the whole prog scene, too.....how many
    "mainstream" bands can you jusut casually point to a song of their and

    go pull out that Live After Death album, and listen to ol' Bruce sputter
    and fumigate his way through the classics of maiden
    literature....perfect he ain't, and perfect he didn't need to be.....

    as far as Labrie, i'm not sure that I care that i can't quite understand
    him at times, becauseu in those instances on disc, his voice basically
    becomes another instrument in the dream theater arsenal

    livewise, when he falters, agreed, it is kinda painful, because he's
    either on, or way off, and rarely with any middle ground.....but as for
    as the live enunciation goes, same as above applies, his voice is an
    instrument, and we oughta enjoy it, knowing in our heads what he words
    are, and fillin' 'em in with our own puny little (lack of any true)
    vocal abilities......

    I just got it for $15. I don't particularly like it. But I must be the ONLY
    one. I heard nothing but raves about this one, so I bought it. I haven't
    made it through one complete listen yet.
    Just doesn't do it for me. Sounds like Malmsteen with Dio on vocals.

    Oh well, to each his own. I also got Conception - In Your Multitude, which
    just kicks all ass, and Superior - Behind, which rocks reeeeal good.

    I also bought the highly recommended(by Ken Golden) Arkhe self titled CD, and
    am having some real trouble getting into it. I like the tunes, but the guy is
    just trying SO hard for that KJLB sound(maybe TOO hard), that it's hard to

    to have to disagree with anyone. :)

    Keep 'jamming,
