Actually, I think I spotted this thing in the latest Playboy (I believe it
was the Jan. 2000 issue, and NO, she wasn't one of the models). It might
have been Maxim, though... I'm not sure. I thought it was just about the

Good God. I am beginning to think that I am the only person on this list
with a clue what a good song is. :D
You NOT Me is ASTRONOMICALLY better than You OR Me. Contrary to the above
statement, YNM grooves much harder and better than the demo YOM. The
chorus wallowed in its own indifference until the break was inserted and
the key was changed. The lyrics are better in the chorus, too. (I don't
really pay attention to the lyrics in the rest of the song.) The solo
section in YOM is a meaningless wank-fest, and it just generally sounds
like lazy composition; I'm glad it was edited down on the album version.
Granted, there are some parts I miss: the techno-bass intro was really
cool. I think it's much better than the drum intro. I also really miss
the piano/falsetto break before the "solo" section. Those things aside,
however, YNM is a VAST improvement.

I agree. I was beginning to think I was the only person on the face of the
Earth who liked YNM better than YOM. I don't really care about the lyrics,
but the music of YNM is far better and more importantly better-written than
the music of YOM. Not that either song is particularly good.

Actually, I think Desmond Child SAVED that song. The orignal just drones on

Probably the worst song on FII, but still light-years better than the

I don't care either way. Both are fun to sing to in the car. hehehe.
Especially if you invent your own harmony strand in the chorus that actually

Thanks. I figure you read my opinion on these on my "Top 90 CDs of the '90's" list currently featured at www.pixelplanet.com (shameless plug over). Thanks for reading. That article was fun to write, even if it did take a lot more work than I thought it would. Thanks to everyone that sent along their kind (and sometimes not as kind) comments. Both of the above mentioned CDs are very good, and should be checked out by everyone.

Well, this sounds about right. It was almost twenty years ago, but I can still remember all my high school adventures. Being endlessly insulted by almost everyone. Being told by any girl I attempted to show interest in that they just wanted to be "friends" (which in case you didn't know, is a coded way of saying "You are far too repulsive for me to ever think about touching"). Spending much of my spare time playing the guitar. Hiding in the house.
Hmm, come to think of it, this doesn't sound too different from now, except I spend most of my spare time playing Everquest/Unreal Tournament as opposed to playing the guitar. Well, I do have a woman that is more than a "friend" too, so I guess that part worked out OK.
And there's no need to worry about me polluting the gene pool. No kids around here, either now or in the future. We'll stick with cats. If you decide to go away for the weekend, you can just put down a bowl of food and water and leave. Do this sort of thing with a kid, and you end up spending far too much time talking to various authority figures. Not my idea of a good time.

It's always cool to come up with hypothetical "supergroups" that have a lot of our favorite musicains in them. I for one though, thank God that these type of bands rarely ever come into existence. For often, they work much better on paper then they do in reality. For example, remember back in the early 80's when Jimmy Page (from Zepplin of course) and Paul Rodgers (from Bad Company) formed the Firm? Many people had great expectations from that band but God did they suck! I just thought I'd mention this. Having said this though, putting a band together like in prog rock would probably have a better chance of succeeding than most other genres. Anyone out there have examples of these supergroups that worked or didn't work? I'd be interested in hearing people' s responses. -Mike C.

>my $.02, BH
As I'm sure many other people will do as well, I'm going to have to disagree big time on this. John Petrucci is my favorite guitarist. If he were replaced, Dream Theater IMO would be a completely different entity. He is 100% essential to this band. The CD may still say Dream Theater, the concert ticket may still say Dream Theater, but brother it wouldn't be Dream Theater! Not to me at least. And I really dont think that we would be having an argument over which guitartist we all liked best. I think that this list would be very nonexistent at that point. Not to say that the new entity wouldn't be a god band neccessarily but it wouldn't be the SAME band or IMO as good.
Also at this point, I think that since all the guys have been in the band for such a long time that no one would consider the band to still be Dream Theater if one of them left (except for the keyboard player since there have been many changes recently and we're used to that!). Perhaps we would still listen to them but I dont think it would be quite the same.

Let me help you justify your expense.. I'll bet you've spent more than US $150.00 on CDs that suck. How much do you use them? The DM 300 you've spent on your cables will heighten your enjoyment of every CD you hold dear for years to come... In my book, That's priceless.
Start setting some cash aside for a new CD player... Once you've acquired a more detailed and dynamic player, you'll be hooked on hi-end for life. Figure on spending about US $800.00 - $1,500.00 to get your foot in the door... I warn you though.. There's no turning back, and it only gets more expensive as you go. BUT IT'S WORTH IT!!! :o)
PS. What's really twisted is the fact that you could buy several different brands of cables in the same price range, and each one of them will have a slightly different sonic signature. It can really mind fuck you as you try to decide what cable to purchase. It's best to have all the cables the same. I usually recommend people buy a few sets of cables and spend some time listening to each cable group with plenty of familiar CDs. Once you've made the decision which cable sounds best with YOUR GEAR, return the others to the store. Most hi-end stores are receptive to sales of that nature. A certain cable can sound great on one preamp and lousy on another. It all depends on the termination impedance at each end, and how the gear responds to the differences in capacitance and inductance offered by each cable. Confused? Well that's half the fun of hi-end system building. :-)

This could be interesting (although its probably been done before) I scanned my CDs and came up with these- Led Zeppelin - Kashmir Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm Dream Theater - Fatal Tragedy guitar solo Pink Floyd - All of Dark Side of the Moon and all of Animals Tool - Forty Six and Two Faith No More - Evidence
On the drum machine thing, I liked a quote from Bjork. In reference to electronic music she said if there was no emotion in electronic music it was because people hadnt put the emotion there. I agree that currently 99% of electronica is fairly unemotional but I would say the same about guitar, drums etc. I have a theory that if you spend a hell of a lot of time playing an instrument you learn its sounds and learn to bring out its emotion. I think Bjork's work is very emotional as well as Trent Reznor, Massive Attack and a handful of other bands.

Sean Reinert? Dana Carvey? Mickey Mantle? Richie Cunningham? Actually Dana Carvey rocks. I was watching some stand-up show he did on Comedy Central where he was going through an act of making fun of musicians. He was playing guitar, piano, singing, not too badly either. hehehe. I always thought he was just a drummer. Not too shabby.
And this has been popping up here and there: >> Would we have a never ending debate over which guitar player we liked >> better? Yes. Would it still be DT? Yes.
IMO? No. To me, they're barely (if even) Dream Theater without Kevin Moore. Dream Theater is not some concrete thing that gets passed from autobot to autobot like the Prime Matrix, hoping one day someone will be able to harness its full ability. It's an individualized abstract presence made up of a group of five particular people. It all especially depends on which era of a band you're attached to. John's guitar style is a signifigant presence in DT. Take it away and replace it with someone else, and it's not the same. Rush could have replaced Neil Peart, but then would you still consider them Rush?
Dream Theater is what each individual fan makes of them. Not what the band makes themselves. I can imagine how many of us would still consider them Dream Theater if Mike decided to give everyone the boot, hire Fred Durst, Jerry Cantrell, Flea, and Trent Reznor and call that incarnation Dream Theater. They may still be Dream Theater in name, but not in spirit, and I'm sure alot of us fans would reject it. -- KorgX3, who is enjoying SFaM less and less with each listen.

He also played drums with U2 on the song "real thing" on the MTV video awards back in about 92.

hey, Im not a musical genious. I know enough to keep up with the bpm, time sigs etc. I know just because a guitarist doesn't do all the technical stuff that JP, Vai and company do doesn't mean they cant still tear ass. Have you ever seen Slash play a live show?. The man never stops moving. All I did was give credit where credit is due. Slash is/was a kick ass ROCK AND ROLL guitarists. Note I did not say metal, progressive, fusion, technical I could go on. You get the point.

Hi all + Martin,
At first, I have to admit that I just don't have any problem with Dominici's voice. He is not a great singer, but fuck, he's allright on WDADU. I can't imagine WDADU sang by KJLB in studio. I think the sound of that album is very bad, but its due to the lack of financial support given to the band.
>Especially >when he sings 'killing haeaeaend...' Aargh, driving me >nuts every time I hear it. :-)
Well, I got goosebumps everytime I listen to that part. It's just pretty fine.
>Anyway, I somehow don't get it how the hell they could >take such singer like Dominici.
Oh, They didn't have any chance. They had to find a singer as they had helluva much unreleased material back in 1988-89.
Bye
