    It was a stunt the did on each show.
    The DVD version of the show has interviews with all the stunt guys, and
    other people. They started rehearsing all of that about a year before the
    tour started. The most most amzing thing about the load tour is taht the
    beand made NO money off of it, it all went to production costs. Who says
    Metallica sold out???????

    Hi, there!
    I must say, that the only really good metal vid was M*******a's One...and
    even that has quite a few cheeze-elements in it :) Now, I have both LiT and
    5YIAL, and whenever I sit down to watch either (or both) I always
    fast-forward when the music-video's are on...It's just too much cheeze for
    me :)
    I'd like to recommend the vid to Raidohead's "Just" .... I just love that
    intriguing story (really!)

    Take care now, bye-bye then

    i love the throwing copper album.. and especially that song.. but i gotta
    say this.. it really really really bugs me when he's sing "and puts the
    glory out to hide.. hide" and on that second "hide" he's SOOOOO FUCKING
    FLAT.. it drives me crazy.. i listen to it and think "how in the name of all
    that is sacred could you do a vocal take THAT bad and overlook it during the
    mix.".. i just don't understand..
    it boggles the mind.

    anyways.. .there's my rant

    This one's short:

    Dream Theater's "Take the Time" has definitely been released on video,
    it's on the "Live in Tokyo" VHS video. (Itchy didn't mention that in his
    post at all; LiT may not have been released in PAL format, and if not,
    he probably wouldn't have a copy, right?) It's not bad.

    In general, Dream Theater videos aren't particularly cheesy. For true
    "cheesy" videos, take a look at the Rush Chronicles video. From the
    cheesy 1970s "Closer to the Heart," to the cheesy 1981 "Tom Sawyer" and
    "Red Barchetta," to the horrible "Distant Early Warning" and "The Big
    Money," it's pretty bad. The climax of cheese comes next, with "Time
    Stand Still," starring Aimee Mann. That's the cheesiest video I've EVER
    seen. No question; it's probably the cheesiest video ever made! (And
    when you think about the budget they used for those "special effects"...
    OUCH!)

    looky, looky what have we got here! Vanessa Mae fan... and i was scared
    shitless to say that i attended her concert! :-))). Hey, mr. Korg where
    you`re from? i noticed a while back you even had Loreena McKennitt in your
    "now playing" section. You gotta be from somewhere in Europe, right? cause
    as far as i know, Vanessa hasn`t conquered USA yet? or am i wrong?
    The best thing is that our national TV taped the show i was at, and they`ve
    showed it on TV... hell, i can almost see myself sitting in the fourth row
    or something like that... a very nice experience if i may add. The concert
    was in support of her "Storm" album... great concert!

    Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.10.9908051820470.6111-100000@oz.plymouth.edu>

    I was sitting in my room today, listening to some VG music, and it
    suddenly hit me that there is an unbelievably large amount of prog in
    today's video game market. Most specifically, if any of you haven't
    played the PlayStation game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, I suggest
    you do. The music in that game is incredible, and very proggish - kinda
    like Symphony X stuff. It's very gothic, uses lots of organ and keyboard
    and stuff. Well, maybe not "prog-metal" like DT would be termed... I
    guess it could more be called neo-classical. But it's still good. :)

    For those of you that download MP3s, there's a page that has all the
    Castlevania albums not available in the US available for download. Go to
    the following site: http://www.classicgaming.com/castlevania/mp3/cd.htm -
    I suggest that you listen to the arranged stuff like "Dracula Battle
    Perfect Selection". The second track on that album sounds SCARILY like
    SX... Enough that when I listened to it, I thought that it was something
    that SX had done and went and listened to my SX stuff to try and figure
    out which song it sounded like (it didn't - I just thought it did). But
    the live stuff is great to have

    It's got all the Japanese soundtrack albums - note that they're just there
    because we can't get theme here, for those of you that would object.

    Message-ID: <19e6aa51.24db7bae@aol.com>

    Okay, OFB's rise to fame after dropping out of Berklee has been
    well-documented.

    Thanx to Korgy, it has been disclosed that Trey Parker of "South Park" fame
    once attended Berklee, and he too dropped out. (BTW, Parker's song writing
    on the South Park soundtrack was AMAZING!)

    And now this... it's come to my attention after watching VH1's "Behind the
    Music" this past weekend that Melissa Etheridge also went to Berklee for a
    year before dropping out and eventually achieving the world-wide success that
    she has!

    So..... how does that phrase go? "Once is an accident, twice is a
    coincidence, three times is a trend"? Something like that, anyway.....

    Maybe dropping out of Berklee really IS a fucking guarantee!!! :-)

    That is all.

    (yes, yes I know this is probably MIME type but if I didn't get this into
    normal format someone please tell me how to fix it.)

    On the topic of Berklee, I think I might have a guess as to the motivational
    factors behind so many people dropping out. Getting in is not the only hard
    part, but getting housing is the next problem. My entry is being delayed by
    a semester because I can't afford rent for an apartment on top of tuition.
    They have so little housing that for this upcoming year, I ended up as one of
    150 freshman without on campus housing. <sigh> Then there's gonna be the
    course work. I'll let you guys know if I'm still alive in Feb.

    Nope, I'm not upset at all! :) Jokitalo ... Japanese? Anyway, so you think this was conversation? :) Do you dare to even say it's a FRUITFUL one? :) Nope, it's just beating a dead horse (was that the expression?), over and over again. And just see how all this started, from 1 such senseless and unimportant comment like "Ice Age sound like DT".

    The topic is different in every such thread but the experience is the same - BOOORIIINNNNGGG!!! But don't mind me, since I don't listen to IA so I skip all the post related to the thread! :)

    Ugh, me too. Surprisingly, I guess, DT was the first prog I ever listened to. In fact, I didn't even know such a genre existed before them.

    after months of anticipation, the MAIDEN show was finally coming to California. But it was not to be. An hour before I was going to leave to see the greatest show ever, it was postponed and then canceled. FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

    This is the second time in two years I have been canceled upon by Maiden. This time, i think Dave Murray broke his finger when he fell the night before in LA. Last year, I drove and hour and a half from Santa Barbara to find out that the show was cancelled dut to Blaze being sick. Four years ago, I barely got to see them because Blaze was sick but made it back for my show in Hollywood. The poor bastards in the bay area have now been cancelled on for the last THREE maidenn tours.

    Actually, a friend of mine played an MPEG video of some music video a friend of his had made, using clips from the anime series Evangelion. The music? "The Final Countdown." It was actually very good, and it made me realize just how much I liked some of the music from the 80's.

    Hi everyone,

    I was wondering if anyone here is still taking care of the bad trader list? I know I wrote to someone about it about a year ago (at least) and I don't think my complaint ever ended up on the list. Does it still exist?

    If it doesn't, I'm willing to restart it. I know that I've been burned by a bad trade and I'd like to take care of this. So let me know! Thanks!

    Hey all... well I moved to Oklahoma last week and I am seriously missing the east coast (damn, am I ever homesick!!) but, I am getting over it by surrounding myself with New England type things. My question is, has DT ever played in Tulsa or Oklahoma City? If they have, where? Do they often stop there, or is it a rarity?

    Yah, because there's a guy in Boston who wears steel-toed boots, listens to Scissorfight all the time, and despises Berklee "hippies" about as much as anything. :) Not that I think he'd really harm you, but be aware that he hates you and is to be avoided. heheheh.
