    Lol, I caught someone's attention. Mike, I should tell you that your "singing" was one of my most memorable moments from the concert.. that and screaming out "Play Acid Rain!" with my boyfriend and getting some strange looks from Tony. Art, thanks again for sending me the clip from SoC.. I had a real good laugh ;)

    About Austin Powers.. yep, there was a reference to Alan Parson's project, namely that Dr. Evil's weapon to destroy the world was developed by Dr. Parsons, and so APP was going to be the name of his plan to destroy the world.

    actually mike didn't go to berkleY.. he attended berkleE which is in boston rather than berkley, california..

    but to answer your question.. berkley is an INCREADIBLE school.. for most any buisness or liberal arts degree berkley is top notch.. it's location is about 20 minutes south east of san frasisco.. the campus is beautiful and walking distance from the famous telegraph ave.. it's quite a school..

    all right i'm just giving you shit..

    i'm planning on attending berklee myself.. that is if i get accepted (fingers crossed).. tuition is pretty high so MY only option is a scholorship or financial aid of sorts.. (again.. fingers crossed).. but it seems to be one of the best if not the best jazz school around..

    bad part is it's said to be a SEA of guitarists and drummers.. you gotta be damn good and committed to get anything out of it.. (that's ok.. i'm both) :).. anyways..

    i just thought i'd let you know you spelled it wrong (our resident grammar police, korg, isn't doing his job very well)

    >i just thought i'd let you know you spelled it wrong (our resident grammar >police, korg, isn't doing his job very well)

    Actually, I was going to say something, but I didn't want everyone to think I was a dick. :) Doh!

    Anyway, to actually answer Thor's initial question as best I can...

    Read the FAQ. It all ought to be there. :) Here's the URL. http://www.dreamtheater.net/faq-idx.htm

    Nevermind, I just read the FAQ and it's not there. (Or not where it should be, anyway). Here's from memory... Mike Portnoy, John Myung, and John Petrucci all attended the Berklee school of music for a couple of semesters before they decided to leave their schooling to persue their band "Majesty" which was gaining a following and looked like it might head somewhere if they devoted themselves to it. (which I'm glad they did).

    Now, Kevin Moore attended that one music college in Northern New York, but I have to kick myself as I can't remember the name of the place. I'm not positive, but I think it was the same Julliard Schoold of Music that Jordan attended. Blah. Anyway, my knowledge is muddled as to whether he received his degree in education from there, but as I can remember he took the same course as the rest of the band and forsook continuing his education to persue the band.

    Derek... I think Derek was a full fledged Berkee grad, but I never researched Derek's past too much. :) Sorry. He did attend Berklee though.

    Jordan was shipped off to the Julliard School of Music when he was 9 years old and finished his elementary education there. Then as he entered the college level courses at Julliard with full scholarships, he bailed out not long after entering to, as with all of the others, persue a career in music. I'm getting the idea that completing courses at these schools is a waste of time? Maybe? hehehe.

    Kevin James LaBrie was an avid singer from a young age, singing in the church choir and with his father's barbershop quartet in Canuckland. He received operatic training from a somewhat reknowned vocal coach whose name I'm clueless of. (heh, I read this in an old metal edge a long time ago). Sang for a band called Winter Rose, and was selected by DT from a group of piss poor auditionists for the most part to take the place of ejected vocalist Charlie Dominici. heheh. At least I thought they were piss-poor. Never was a John Arch fan and I've heard terrible stories about Chris Cintron. :)

    I know too much about DT for my own good. What's really sad is that there are people out there who can fill in the blanks that I had to leave in there. heheheh. And I'm not talking about Mr. Portnoy either. :)

    Not so much nostalgia for me. I've only been listening to Dream Theater for something like eight or nine months. By the time I got into this band, Derek was on his way out. I missed The Kevin Years obviously. But I do like the albums with Kevin's talents moreso than FII. And yet OIALT is the only CD I've *ever* bought that I liked immediatley, so there ya go. I forgot where I was going with this... :o) > And besides, who has anything better to do then read > the jam :)

    Not me. I just graduated high school and I don't have a job. The highlight of my days are updating my website, downloading mp3s and checking out the 'jam happenings. God I need a life... === *Trent

    You know, if my band ever gets big and famous (which it won't, but nevertheless it's a hypothetical situation that I'm sure most musicians have considered) and has its own heavily used mailing list, I'm going to have to make sure I'm subscribed to it so that whenever someone gives any of my backing vocals any lip, I can just be like Mike Portnoy and log on and say,"Hey! They pay me to play this darned instrument thing here and if they're careless enough to put a microphone in front of me, then let's just hope the sound guy has quick reflexes cutting my level." Having a band member subscribed to the list is also a great way to settle some of those weird back-and-forth debates about obscure stuff that only us fans have the time to seriously ponder :) Anyway, that's my obligatory post (complete with horrendously long run-ons and parenthetical phrases) for the next month or two, so in the meantime I'll...

    Yes they talk about The Alan Parsons Project I believe in the newest Austin Powers, and also Mike says the Dt album can be expected in October on the Sabian Cha transcript. It is also on UACM (www.DreamTheater.net/) in the latest news or recent updates!

    Mike was right 100%. Just because one member leaves does not mean the whole band changes. Personnally, ACOS and FII are better in my eyes than the 3 with kevin. the lyrics of Hollow Years is what hooked me on the band, not "how fast they can play" or time sig changes. I appreciate that too but I also love just to listen because it's good music and not totally analyze it to every extenet. Did Metallica change it's name because Dave left, or Cliff died? And what about Mcgovny? he was a original member. Shit, Queensryche is more Queensryche now (the new stuff) than HITNF because Degarmo took control of the band. They should have called taht album. (Chris and 4 other guys that hardly had input on the music.) -hehe

    Occording to my "import" demo, John, Mike and John met at Berkley in thier first semester. John and John had played with Kevmo before in their hometown. Moore went to Fredonia's school of music. I think they only completed 1 year, 1985-1986 In march, some crappy singer "Thank god he is gone" Chris Collins joined them and they recorded the 6 track demo. They never returned after that, and the rest is history.

    PS Mike, that QR shirt is cool! Do you still have it. Where was that photo taken?

    << I thought it was just two pedals for the same hi-hat (like a double bass pedal for one bass drum). >>

    I'm not a drummer but the reason for two open hi-hats is usually so one is always closed and the other one can be opened and closed. Reason being: when a drummer is playing double bass, he can hit the "always closed" hi-hat without getting a TERRIBLE sounding open hi-hat (because he'd have to use his foot to close it and its occupied with other kick). This one is usually placed near the ride since its kinda being used like a ride but with a different "flavor". The other one is the standard set up so you CAN do the the open and closed work with your foot.

    That is the MAIN reason, but not the only reason. The reason is much different than "double bass". I'm NOT a drummer, but I'm pretty sure this is the main reason. The remote pedal thing allows you to place the the hi-hats (via some type of cable) anywhere other than on the actual hi-hat stand/pedal. Simple idea.

    A little boy is waiting for his Mom to come out of the changing room while shopping with her at a department store. The little boy gets bored so he decides to have a look around. When his Mom comes out of the changing room, she finds her little boy sliding his hand up a store dummy's skirt.

    "GET YOUR HAND OUT OF THERE," she shouts. "DON'T YOU KNOW THAT US WOMEN HAVE GOT TEETH DOWN THERE."

    The little boy quickly snatches his hand away and thanks his lucky stars that nothing serious happened. So, for the rest of his life, this poor little boy grows up thinking that all women have got teeth down below.

    By the time the little boy reaches the age of sixteen, he finds himself a girlfriend. One night, while her parents were out of town, she invites him over for a little action. After a few hours of making out and grinding on the sofa, she asks him to go a little bit further.

    "What do you mean", he asks

    She replies, "Well, why don't you put your hand down there" while pointing to her privates.

    "HELL NO," he cries. "You've got teeth down there"

    "No, I don't" she responds.

    "Yes, you do," he says. "My Mom told me that you do."

    "No, I don't," she insists. "Here, look for yourself." With that, she pulls down her pants and gives him a little peek.

    "No, I'm sorry" he says. "My Mom already told me that all women have teeth down there."

    "OH FOR CHRIST'S SAKE"!! she screams. With that, she whips off her panties, throws her legs behind her head, and says, "Look, I don't have any teeth down there."

    He replies, "Well, with the condition of those gums I'm not surprised"!!!!!

    Metal Hammer (UK) has just printed this review of LTE2:

    This'll scare the hell out of 'em. The return of this new prog supergroup featuring three members of Dream Theater and bassist extraordinaire Tony Levin, it's a far cry from anything remotely commercially sensible and so way off the mark credibility wise, you've just got to love it. Jazzily experimental and progressively indulgent and totally instrumental, it rocks like a mutha. Funnily enough, it's far more stomachable than Dream Theater too!

    Heh - my old band used to have a section in 17/16. It was the most agonizing thing I have ever done. And you're right, it's all pretty much done on feel, but it's a lot easier to break it down into sub-measures, for lack of a better term.
