    Yeah, that's definately a cool song on that Morse disc. He's kinda
    saying "see, I can do the Van Halen and Yngwie thing too." (But he's
    calling it "Too Many Notes"...) I picked that disc up when it came
    out, but it was not what I was expecting. Tumeni Notes was the most
    jamming song on there. I would warn anyone thinking about picking it
    up that it's more of an Irish, New Age disc. Very mellow, not heavy at
    all. (I like mellow sometimes, but this one is not really my cup of
    tea.)

    Chris. Get it. Not only is it DT related, but it a nice analog synth, well
    actually digital oscilators, analog everything else. if you don't know what
    oscillators are, don't ask me, i just quote literature. Regardless, if you
    already have analog gear like a Roland jd800 or something, then this may
    not be as important, but it does do cool sounds and I enjoyed playing on one.

    Hey everybody -

    I am hoping that somebody out there can help me out. It has recently come to
    my attention that a promo CD was released in 1993 to coincide with the
    Foundations Forum (officially titled "Foundations Forum '93 CD Sampler") with
    an unreleased Flotsam and Jetsam track on it called "News To Me". I was
    wondering if anyone out there has this and would be willing to part with it,
    or at least set up a trade. If not the original or a CDR copy, maybe we can
    set up a tape trade. I really want to hear this track. Private e-mail
    please.

    Thanks a lot.... Matt T.

    Televoid is a long form music video that Scott Rockenfield produced &
    played music for. I own it and have to say if anything it is very
    interesting, and a neat addition to any Queensryche collection. It is
    animated and goes through a series of about 12 scenes, each scene with
    it's own song. Most of the songs are intrumental in nature and a
    primally electronic, but the video does however contain one scene
    which includes the song "Chasing Blue Sky" a b-side for the Hear in
    the Now Frontier cd. You can order the video from most any record
    store, and there is a cd available of the music in the soundtrack
    section of most video stores. The acutal video is like a cross
    between a Tool video and Doom (the video game).

    blank CD ), and you are right, my friend and i were half right ( so that
    cancels and make you correct over both of us! L:) ). and for a quick bass tip
    , ive never seen a bassist ( or myself ) play bass with a pick. it sounds like
    an amazing phenomenon for a bassist to see another bassist use a pick. i
    thought using your own fingers were the best tip, but make it sound different
    than the standard beat. ( refer to BASSPLAYER's 10th Anniversary mag under "10
    Ways To Make Your Bass Sound Cool " ( something like that ).

    Message-ID: <000b01be3de4$41077c40$99739c83@7979811wheat.farm.niu.edu>

    Hey, I had a similar problem with my car cd player ... actually, I've had
    the problem twice, and it's always on CDRs. The greenbacks and some of the
    cheaper gold backs. The cd won't eject, but it will play... that sort of
    thing. Both times it took more than a day to get it out, and it was only a
    miracle that it did (poking and prodding the player in its most sensitive
    areas did nothing to help me... just pressed eject for the 1000th time and
    it worked). I'd be interested to know if this is a CDR related issue, or a
    freak coincidence. Al? Jens? :)

    As far as Myung is concerned, I know he wasn't picking on that song live,
    and the bass line isn't one of his hardest, so I would seriously doubt that
    he's picking on the album. What you're hearing is that click from his
    strings flopping either against the neck or the pickups. He seems to have a
    real harsh feel... like he pounds the hell out of his strings. I know Gary
    Willis was saying that a lighter touch seems to produce better tone (and
    Gary's is beyond reproach). It could sound a lot like picking, but the
    click seems too "in between" the notes. The sound of picking on bass or
    guitar comes much more immediately before the note... listen to Manowar. I
    find that WDADU has the most audible examples of the clickity bass sound...
    I don't know if I like or dislike the sound, myself.

    following shawn's mention of cheaper octobans (thanks shawn), i went on the
    web searching for good prices, and came across the Tama website. i was
    surprised - it's not only well done, it's also very up-to-date. i'm
    referring to the artists pages - for example, mike portnoy's entry:

    Mike Portnoy
    Band: Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment
    Drum Kit: Starclassic Maple in custom Purple Fade (sizes: (2)16x24, 5.5x14,
    Octoban 343, Octoban 390, Octoban 443, Octoban 473, 8x8, 8x10, 9x12, 10x13,
    14x14, 16x16, Octoban 536, Octoban 600)
    Current project(s):
    Double Live Dream Theater CD out now; titled "Once in a LIVEtime." It also
    has an accompanying video, titled "5 Years in a LIVEtime."
    Recording is finished on the second Liquid Tension Experiment record, with
    only mixing to be done. A release date of May 4, 1999, with a tour in early
    1999, is scheduled.

    plus it has a diagram of his kit and a link to UACM. I'm impressed. damn,
    the bastard has SIX octobans. damn him to hell :) moo.

    I just have a quick question regarding those things. What exactly are they, something like a rototom? From what I've read so far about them on the list they're a pitched percussion instrument, right? I could only assume thus that they're a membrane drum.

    Hello Jammers! Out I come from hiding to propose a new thread that might interest you:

    As I'm sure you all know, there's a new (or not so new, depending on how you look at it) movement in American metal lately. A segment of bands are starting to combine the urban sounds of rap with that of the crunchiness of the guitar, resulting in a hybrid sort of rap/metal. Some examples are:

    Rage Against the Machine, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, System of a Down, Hed(Pe), Vanilla Ice's new CD (Believe it or not!), Clutch, The Deftones...

    (I might be wrong about those last two since they're not as familiar to me...)

    If you catch my drift, I'd say these bands are original enough to warrant a new name for their genre. Originality does not dictate quality, by the way (since I dislike half of them) but we must be fair and acknowlege that they are breaking some new ground here.

    Has anyone heard of a catch-phrase used to describe these guys? I hate saying stuff like "They sound kinda like Korn". Any ideas?

    you're right, not new. bands have been doing it for a while - downset, even biohazard have done the "rap over rock" thing for years. its just now starting to get popular (read: trendy). the category names i hear used the most are "rapcore" and "L.A. style hardcore". moo.

    Well..lots of metal bass players use picks.. like Jason Newsted, Dave Ellefson *rules* , hm i think the guy from Shadow Gallery picks as well, most alternative bassists too ok taken only from my ibanez catalog pictures: Christian Olde Wolbers from Fear Factory picks, Life Of agony bassist, surprisingly enough the guys from Korn and limp bizkit dont !, the guys from rancid, pennywise and the offspring pick, and im sure theres many many more..

    The first solo (beginning of the song) is played by a piano, and there is a part in the middle of the song where Moore plays a melody with Petrucci (both play the same notes), and after that begin a small keyboard solo.

    Here's some breaking news on Tiles and Detroit prog... First, the new album, Presents of Mind, is completed and set to be released in Europe and Japan. The band is working on local release and is tentatively considering Magna Carta! The cover art is done by Hugh Syme. I've seen it and it looks pretty cool. The mixing was again done by Terry Brown. This is shaping up to be a good one. I will hopefully have an import copy soon and I'll pass along more details to those interested... Second, Tiles is headlining a show at the I Rock on Jan 23rd. No word on an opening band as of yet. Last and best, they will also be headlining the Motor City ProgShow! They've tried to put this together before, but it's finally come through. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but on Jan 30, I'll be at JD's Macomb Theater in Mt. Clemens. :) It's a hard place to find, but totally worth it. They opened for Fates there awhile back and the venue ROCKED. Anyway, the opening bands are House of Usher and Discipline. I don't know anything about them, so if anyone can fill me in, I'd be much obliged. Anyway, tickets will be cheap ($10 or so) and should be available through Ticketmaster soon. I'm looking forward to this one big time... If you want more info on Tiles, drop by the site at www.tiles-music.com
