He didn't quit Type O to join Life Of Agony, because he was in Life Of
Agony all along. As much as I know, he was pushed out of Type O because he
was a miserable and depressive dude who couldn't get along with anybody.
That was the reason why he got the boot from Life Of Agony two years later
as well.

Okay. The guy was an asshole for shooting up the smack. That's just a stupid
thing to do to yourself. He's right up there with Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, and
Jimmy Page and all the rest on that one.
Having said that...all of you who are glad that he died because he ripped Dream
Theater really are sad, pathetic little people. Everyone is entitled to their
own opinion about music, and to wish someone death because of the kind of music
they make is just about the most disgusting thing I've ever heard.
And btw, the name of that song is "No Rain," and the album is pretty damn cool.

Do you know of any cd's that I might want to pick up with some of this
Indian playing?
And speaking of complex rhythms feeling natural, I must give credit to
a man that seems to be able to this better than anyone I have ever
heard; Vinnie Colaiuta. His playing with Sting has the best 'feel' I
have ever heard when it comes to complex rhythm/odd-meters. Sometimes
when he is playing in 5/7/9 it feels like its in 4. He has a neat
little trick that lets him do this. He plays polyrythms over the
meter usually on his hi-hats or his ride. Take a phrase of 5 for
example. He'll play "down beats" on his ride or hat on 1,3,5 for the
first measure then play beats 2,4 in the next measure. This way the
odd-meter (5) feels grounded to an even pulse.

Umm...I don't think it was Shannon Hoon who made the
derogatory comments about DT. I believe it was the
guitarists Christopher Thorn, or whatever his name is,
and his equally forgettable friend. Anyway, who cares.
I think they also vilified Nuno Bettencourt as well.

I ripped into Hoon for a plain and simple reason. He is a professional.
I'm not. In his position, he shouldn't have said what he said. Not only
is it not professional, it's down right childish. Think about it this
way. You go to a baseball game and you can't stand the pitcher of the
oposing team. You yell out all sorts of nasty things about the pitcher,
his mother and curse his firstborn. Is that OK?? Sure, you're at a
fucking ballgame. Now, is it OK for the starting pitcher on the other
team to yell out the same things??? No way. It's un-professional. No
one in Dream Theater had ever ripped into other musicians, to the best
of my knowledge. Unfortunately, Hoon decided to stoop to that level.
I can do that sort of thing because I hate the music that he made! I
hate what it stood for! I hate the very fucking essence of it! all of
it. Now the fact that it was a dumb or stupid thing for Hoon to rip
Dream Theater, does it make it OK for us Dream Theater fans to get all
pissy about the fucker, even though he's dead??? Hell's Yeah!!!
Sometimes I LIKE stooping to the other fuckers level. Tough Shit!!!
That's what the fucker get's being a smack-shooting-douchebag. Some
people may like it (including yourself)...some may even buy it...Do I
hate the people that buy it?? No way!!! Tthere's a guy that lives 2
appartments down from me that slips his 'male' roomate the hot beef
injection nightly. He's even got a little kick-dog that looks like
Verdel. Do I condemn the guy??? No way!!!! But, If the pillowbiter
started talking shit about DT!!!! Hell, now there's reason to throw the
bitch out the window!!!!!!

Well, it goes back much further than the music industry, to classical and
traditional music. Ever notice that a lot of that is either in 4/4, 3/4, or
7/8 time? It's just the way music became in an area of the world that
spread its culture to here. The reason is a bit harder to discern, but it's
probably because the music just evolved that way in that part of the world.
In other areas, folk music quite often is in time sigs much more alien to
this part of this world, and that feels as natural to them as 4/4 does to
us. Examples: Eastern Europe and Africa.

Again, it's not the industry, it's the culture that created the industry.

As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing people were "meant to listen to",
just things people are inclined to listen to due to their importance in
their culture.

Dr Mosh:
>LARS FUCKING SUCKS ASS AND METALLICA *IS* THE DEFINITION OF A >SELLOUT
BAND
-I don't like talking about Metallica here, but Mosh's shouts travelled all
the way
across the Atlantic and almost left me deaf....anyway I'm not replying to
Mosh, as he has formed his opinion, I' m trying to get through to the rest
of the jammers. Do you think that Metallica
needed to sell out? What about the millions of copies of the Black Album
sold....do you think that they'd sell less if they just released a BA pt2?
Don't think so....Metallica were already selling like crazy and changing
their style in Load was a bit of a risk (though there is no such thing as
risk when we talk about bands that popular). I don't think that albums like
Load and Reload will sell more than BA or MOP pt2 would, at least long-term
speaking, and that's because the audience that L and RL aims at is not a
stable and guaranteed market. At this time, Metallica need none and
everything they do is guaranteed to sell a lot. So they're just doing what
they enjoy most. Garage inc is another proof that they didn't sell out,
they're just having fun playng their favorite tunes.
-Another thing that pissed me off and I got to say it is Jon Schaffer's and
his little pet Matt Barlow's attitude. They go around blaming Metallica
"and bands that betray their fans" and swearing that "the day they'll
betray
their fans is the day they die" These words come out of Iced Earth, one of
the few bands that's ripped off Metallica riffs so blatantly, especially
those in Master of Puppets album. Of course, they wouldn't dare to change
their style (though I like Something wicked....), not out of
respect for their fans but because they've created a core of fans that
they'll be buying their albums until they die. But I didn't see Dr. Mosh
or anyone else judging Iced Earth....Iced Earth should at least keep their
mouth shut and show some respect for their greatest influences. I don't
want to waste ytsejam's space, sorry I did that, so I'm not saying anything
else. DTC: DT always show respect for the bands that have been influence to
them (well, I didn't think of anything better, hehe).

'What ever happened to the proposed CD-R/tape tree for the Dream Theater
'98 X-mas shows' I asked last week. There was one response, and that was
just an echoing of the original question. There's got to be some people on
this list of, what, 2000, that know the answer. I see Scarred Records will
be selling a recording of these very same '98 X-mas shows in the near
future ('5 Days In A LIVEtime'), which makes me wonder if perhaps the
silence is for a reason...
I'm unable to do any tapetrading at present due to a deck problem, but if
anybody's up for some CD-R trades (yes, you heard right, you *can* get
bootleg CD-Rs without paying out the nose for them), please check out my
trading page and drop me a mail.
Unrelated, does anybody know of a program or procedure to create Winamp skins?

Brian is saying, "those of you who are grateful in the fact that
shannon hoon died because he ripped on DT, etc. are pathetic"
mojo is saying, "shannon hoon's an asshole, i have the right to
say it, you can't stop me." then goes into some analogies that
I don't get and are irrelevant to anything...
both of them are right, but in different ways......
If people think Shannon Hoon is an asshole, then fine. But if
you're saying, "I'm glad the fucker is dead - he ripped on DT,
he was a junkie, he deserved to die", then you're a dick. No
if's, and's, or but's......
I don't feel sorry for him cuz he's dead and left behind a family
and a band and all that. But there's no way in hell that I
would say that he deserved dying, especially because of something
as ridiculously trivial as bashing another band.
And, to boot, everyone's hating the guy when HE WASN'T EVEN THE
ONE BASHING DT! So now you people are reveling in this man's
death because of guilt by ASSOCIATION.
If you don't like a band, then don't like them. Don't get stupid
and trivialize someone's death because of it.
By the way, this has nothing to do with Blind Melon, Mojo himself,
or anything specific. Some people on here have to learn to put
things into perspective, I think........

Thanks for the transcription of Ringo's drum beat. :) However, I disagree
on your premise. We are not genetically programmed to like a particular
repetitive pattern consisting of four beats evenly divided into 4 quavers.
It is called common time for the simple reason that it was the most common
time signature used in Western music. The term "Western music" does not
imply that it is the realm of morons, merely to differentiate from Eastern
music eg ragas, tibetan chants, other popular songs of the orient.
3/4 was used heavily as well, but rock music was a reaction against staid
forms like the waltz [try doing the twist to the Blue Danube]. The music
"industry" didn't choose the time signatures bands should write their
songs in [unspoken commandment: Thou shalt write thy songs in 4/4 or thy
song shalt not receiveth airplay and maketh you a ton of greenbacks]. If
the kids don't like it, they won't support it.
Meanwhile, Joe asked:

Amidst the talk of popularity, selling out, ego, etc., I find it
interesting that Finn grew up listening to Morse; yet here's Steve
praising HIM! Also interesting to note that Steve mentions "technique"
last. Not that it's not important, more that it's nice to have the chops
as a tool at your disposal; but there's a point where you need to move
beyond that to take it beyond the level of what a machine can do...
I've listened to a fair number of the guitarists touted as supposed
deities of shred and, IMHO, there's a lot of one-trick ponies out there.
Steve is so much more of a COMPLETE player.
DTC: I've seen Steve mention John Petrucci in high regard as well, and
we all know how JP feels about him :)
So... look's like he's touring South America,Australia,Malaysia, maybe
Sweden and Germany. Even if you think Deep Purple is too popular or not
prog enough or something, perhaps it's worth it to check 'em out just to
see Steve playing :)
Dudes that got me inspired to pick up a guitar? Steve Morse, Ian
Anderson, Steve Howe, Alex Lifeson, George Harrison, Stephen Stills,
Jimmy Page... playing acoustics :)

I'm pissing myself laughing right now....and there's no music playing :)
>"Heartbreaker" or "The Rover", or "In the Evening", or....You get the point.
I get YOUR point, I just question whether or not it is THE point but
rather A point, albeit a weak one :) Let's see: if you put on "Hot Dog"
and compare it to "Helter Skelter", but you get my point, right? :)
Not to nitpick, as I'm not sure if you were placing the above in the
context of your comparison of Ringo to Bonham; but Wasn't Bonham already
well on his way to decomposing before "In the Evening" came out.
In any event, I grew up listening to Zeppelin. My brother had "Whole
Lotta Love" on 45... I was only 7 when it came out, but I can still see
the label mezmerizing me as it spun round and round while Plant had
multiple orgasms :) Zep had quite an impact on me growing up. And so did
the Beatles. Fact of the matter is, whether you like it or not, bands
several years prior to Zep's time like the Beatles and the Byrds were
exploring shit with rock 'n roll (distortion, feedback) in ways that
just hadn't been done yet to that level. They got little boys like Jimmy
Page to even start to THINK about the possibilities. But I guess if it's
too simple it automatically becomes laughable.
"Aged far better?" according to who? I will remember and enjoy many a
Beatles tune long after I've forgotten "In The Evening" :) I imagine the
fan base that the Beatles developed over the years outnumbers that of
Zep by 2-3 generations of people. "Aged far better?" 80 year olds can
probably hum several Beatles' tunes....imagine Bessy attempting to crank
out "You know you shook me baybay!!! You shook me all night
lonnnnnnnnnnng" and watch her run for the clapper as she proclaims "I've
soiled myself.....and I can't get up!!!" you get my point, right? :)
The point is kinda moot for me anyways because a band called Chicago
Transit Authority had already stolen away a fair amount of my attention,
putting out some serious compositions with complex time signatures,
yadda yadda yadda. After Zep's first 5 albums, I kinda grew tired of it;
and I needed a break from the Beatles as I simply overdosed on them. Too
bad Chicago went south on me after their 5th album 'cuz these were some
gifted musicians. Good thing the PROG revolution came and saved it all
:)))
