    hey all!

    I was wondering if anyone is going to post a review on the show of
    yesterday? how long was it? how r the new songs for LTE 2?

    also.. I got my hands on the Progfest 97 cd.. not bad at all.. but there is
    something that's puzzling me..

    The John Whitton Band.. the 3rd song on the cd... man. i don't remember the
    name.. anyhow.. it sounds like a song I heard before.. and that i have at
    home.. either from im guessing Flower King's .. but I could be wrong..
    anyhow.. if anyone understands what I'm talking about.. they could answer
    me.

    Mr. Prog

    Sorry about that. I haven't read all the Jams lately
    (they just keep comming!) and I was in a bad mood.
    75% of what's in the Jam is flaming or oppinions that
    some people yell out like they are the facts of life.
    It just made me slightly irritated and I took it out on that
    post without even reading what it was all about. sorry.

         I agree with your post, and well id just like to make the observation that maybe
    the fact that DT is not nearly as popular as VH greatly contributes on the whole thing
    being low-key and not some bitter flameage between the band and derek or jordan and
    derek ( im talking about them flaming each other not US ). If DT were say as popular
    as VH, Aerosmith or even Metallica..the media woulve made it a lot uglier. All this
    not considering of course that the guys in DT, Derek and Jordan may be professional
    enough NOT to turn this into a Van Halen -like thing, which i think they are...i mean
    if for example derek intended something like that, he woulve emailed here saying a
    whole bunch of reasons ( real or real to him ) for his firing, and mike woulve
    counterposted defending himself and the band... etc etc.. we of course (at least I )
    would be even more dissapointed to see THAT, than to just have to wait for time to
    clear things up....

    Information:

    Dream Theater back in the studio in February
    Added on 01-03-1999

    Dream Theater will be back in the studio in February to work on a new album.
    None of the "Falling Into Infinity" leftovers will be used, except for
    possibly Metropolis part II. The band will be writing and recording
    simultaniously (ala LTE). Unfortunately, Mike's project with Pete Trewavas
    (Marillion) and Neal Morse (Spock's Beard) has been put on the shelf for the
    time being.

    Also from maX:

    > Skadz? Are you reading this? Please remove Isaac Trumbo.

    I don't think you should be the one asking to remove anyone else from the
    list. Posting 7 times in one jam is not cool, dude. That goes for EVERYONE
    who has an itchy trigger finger on the Send button.

    About Jordan/Derek, I'm glad to see the change. As many of you know, I was
    never thrilled with Derek from the beginning, both as a keyboardist and a
    showman. I'm really looking forward to the next disc, which should really
    get us back to the heart of what DT was intended to be. :)

    Thought I'd be helpful,

    Actually,

    I thought that was quite funny. I started imagining Derek out raking the
    fall leaves. He's wearing his see-thru shirt, his vinyl/leather pants and
    his "I think I'm Bono" sunglasses. Then he pulls out the gardening shears.
    Tears a hole in his shinny pants and shoves his rake into his
    chocy-starfish. Once he's got it all snug and fit properly, he continues
    raking the lawn.

    Priceless.

    Hey guys and gals. I know we have talked about Zappa's music here
    before, and after recently picking up Mike Keneally's & Beer For
    Dolphins, Sluggo album I have been wanting to check more of Zappa's
    stuff out. I already have Zoot Allures and Sleep Dirt. I know that
    Mike Portnoy said that he got into Zappa because of the weird time
    Sigs. My question; which albums contain these weird time sigs. I do
    like both of the above mentioned albums by Zappa. So point me in the
    right direction. I want to assume that the albums that Vinnie
    Colliuta(sp?) and Chad Wackerman played on would have some interesting
    time sigs.

    Plus if you haven't picked up Mike Keneally & BFD's Sluggo, you need
    to. Very good stuff if your not in the 'mood' for prog-metal.

    Later all

    Message-ID: <19990122161738.10213.qmail@hotmail.com>

    hi there, Bowery Ballroom, my diary.
    I'm taking the bus from NJ, should take 30 min. max. The driver decides
    to chat and chat and drive as slowly as possible without endangering his
    health. Took us 45 min. Well, I arrive in time to see, fuck, they have
    T-shirts(I don't have money, damnit). Well, I give my coat away and spot
    d-man, nice surprise, later Christina who apparently got kicked by
    Jordan("He kicks my ass"), but didn't hurt her knee.
    You people who were complaining about not having shows in your area?
    You did the right thing, because this kicked ass. THere were about 250
    people in the club(my guess) which was really cool, 'cause when people
    just spoke a little louder he was audible to the band(Somebody:"You
    really kick ass" JP shyly(sp?)"Thanks")
    The guys enter the stage, Jordan gets a "welcome to DT" looks really
    friendly and from the whole show I get the impression that he's one of
    the nicest guys you could hang out with. Not heavy enough for DT? Listen
    to the new LTE stuff and think again. JP was a little shaky in the
    ballads and again I must say, when he improvises fastly, I don't like it
    anymore, he tries to get too many notes in no time.I feel like Crang
    going:"Shredder".Tony Levin enters the stage, I go, holy cow(maybe Satch
    should hire him and start a Hair band:). He was so cool. Jordan played a
    nice solo btw, where we could see what he might add: sounds. Luckily I
    could stay until they were done although I guess they were signing stuff
    afterwards, right?
    Mike, you were good,too, as always. People that was awesome. But
    Mike(portnoy), I still want one of those shirts!!!

    I wonder if the people who always write in all caps (Tokugawa Tigger-ette

    capital letters than it is to read "normal" capitalization. Just for future

    That is a FABULOUS idea! I have NEVER heard a Nightmare Cinema, at all,
    and I would LOVE to hear it! If there were MP3s of it posted, I would
    have them downloaded as soon as possible!

    Hey Max!!!! TAKE....A....PILL! Consolidate the verbal diarrhea into less
    than 50 posts per day, pooch!

    Nevertheless, Max steps up to the plate without a bat or even a helmet:
    > And if anyone calles their music shit here,

    Here? Does this mean that there are perhaps some Max-Verran-Sanctioned
    places for calling their music shit?

    > I'm going to your house to rape your sister.

    This is not funny. This is an amateur attempt at humor. It fails
    miserably. If I had a sister, I'm sure she'd be more than happy to hand
    you what's left of your tiny appendage to you in a dixie cup.

    > Lars Hellsten gargled the algae he sucked out of his fishtank:

    On the upside (amazing there is one, eh?), I thought that was rather
    funny :)

    Now go sit down, Max, have a glass of warm milk, think things over,
    discover what a naughty boy you can be sometimes, modify the behavior.
    This way, when you come back, we'll more refined material of yours to
    laugh at...

    > Maybe I'll unsub. I dunno. I unsubbed from TaDream because of that.

    Thanks for the heads up on that, Max. I'll update my schedule database
    appropriately....and quickly! Take care :)

    Fear not, JP's beats/minute are just too fast!! Velocity is an important
    component of momentum. Related to this somehow is 'inertia' which tends
    to allow someting to maintain direction :)

    Bravo!! That was lucid thinking!

    IMO, the only thing I'd change is the phrase "Success will come" to
    "Continued success will come". IMO they're already successfull, and it's
    recognized out there in many forms (for example: Mike on the cover of
    Modern Drummer, other highly respected musicians playing with them,
    rabid fan base :), not too shabby a set of number in record sales
    considering the genre as a whole).

    Hi!

    I was in a rather confusing conversation recently. I thought the guy was trying to convince me that guitarists who study formally couldn't play the blues or with feelings. Turns out all he wanted to know was whether "Feelings" was a blues tune.

    hmmmm.....

    Anyway, here are some of our upcoming shows. If any of them are in your hemisphere we'd love to see you. And Yes. Wicked will be available for sale at the show
