    Yeah, I noticed the same thing. Worst mistake they could've made. Ray
    Daniels has a habit of breaking up his bands and making new bands out of
    the mess. Unfortunately, none of these bands that Ray has created is
    worth the dogshit on my shoe. Thank Ged he hasn't done this to Rush,
    though...

    Is anyone here from the Lincoln, Nebraska area? I was visiting and I swear I heard Dream Theater's "Lie" during a commercial on one of your classic rock stations (I think it was 93.9 FM, but I'm not sure.) I only caught two seconds of the promo -- has anyone heard this? Do you know what they were promoting? (It sounded like an in-house ad -- the part I heard was "... only on 94 Rock" or something like that.) Do they play Dream Theater often? <g>

    All I can say is HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!! One of my very fav bands is finally gonna play the US!!! Maybe this has something to do with them getting picked up by Century Media for US releases.

    Maybe this means melodic/progressive/symphonic metal is gaining some fans in the US, enough for a foreign band to tour here. Maybe we'll start seeing more metal on the music channels instead of the constant BS that is usually served to us. Maybe metal is gaining the respect it deserves here in the US...

    ..Or maybe Im just getting carried away ;-). All I know is that the closest date they play to the NYC area, I'll be at.

(since the QR=nazi debate). The word social in the name Nationalsozialistische Partei Deutschlands certainly doesn't mean they're left!! Why do you think they asassinated/executed/killed hundreds and thousands of members of the Kommunist Party (KPD) and the Socialist Party (SPD)??? Certainly not because they were also left socialists!! BS

    To all this Reich/Ryche stuff I can only say: BS! The word Reich simply means EMPIRE (I happen to be german!!). It is used in connection with the third reich in germany I admit. But it is also used in connection with the British Empire, the Roman Empire and the Anglo-American Worldpower. And now you tell me what these have in common with the Nazi's??? Do these nations in any way symbolize Nazi ideology? NO WAY!! So quit this BS and shut up!! The name Queensryche evidently means the Queens Empire nothing less and nothing more.

    With the massive postings on Tori Amos, i felt left out and decided to try her out. Of the many albums listed Little Earthquakes, seemed to be mentioned the most so i went out and bought it. I have to say i am impressed. I usually don't like female bands or vocal (not a sexist pig thing either), i never really thought they could write or put emotion into thier songs the way guys do. I like Jewel (no flames please) because her songs were well written, very simple, and full of emotion. The only other females i have ever liked are The Cocteau Twins & the japanese girl (i forget her name) that sang on the Macross Plus Soundtrack. I'm on track 8 and have to say that i already like just about everysong sofar. Thanks, guys & gals, for the recomendations.

    I wanted to ask a question or two, also. I went to my local CD store and ordered LTE. Then i tried to order some Symphony X & Ocean Machine. Are these bands on the same label? He said he thought the Symphony X was out of print, is this correct? I thought SX was an American band, so i should be able to get them. I really don't want to order off the net but i guess i will have to.

    DTC: I also picked up Platypus but haven't had a chance to listen, but to the first two songs. I didn't really like the first one. Oh well, maybe it'll grow on me. I'll pop it in when TA is done.

    I would also like to recomend The Cocteau Twins (the most beautiful female voice i have ever heard) and Dead Can Dance (really cool gothicesque, prog-rock, music).

    i want to post a little info on a program i got called Net CD. It's a nice little program. When you put in a CD to listen to it on your PC (or Mac) it will dial up the net and download the name of the cd, artist and the names of the songs. It lets you choose where it gets the info (it uses ftp, so don't worry about long distance calls), and the info is saved on your computer so when you put it in next it automatically displays it. But i like it alot. It's available at www.download.com, and there are many others there too.

    I think its kind of a morbid scene here when some of you show joy in Shannon Hoon's death because of the Guitar mag comments made at the expense of DT. That's just sick. I remember reading it at the time and thinking "what a couple of losers" those two GUITARISTS of Blind Melon were. Oh wait, Shannon Hoon was the vocalist. Hmm, so HE didn't even make the DT comments. Fuck, I'm glad I didn't celebrate his death. Besides the fact that its just stupid to celebrate someone's death, I'd feel pretty lame right now if I BLAMED him for those comments. That would be like blaming John Petrucci for remarks Derek Sherinian made. You mean band members don't share a brain?

    Oh and to top this all off ........ I remember John Petrucci being given the chance to respond to the Blind Melon's guitarists' comments and JP showed class. He didn't go off on how lame the band Blind Melon was.

    As far as the JLMB reference, I have to wonder how it was to be taken. Is it to be taken that Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain are the negatives in the music industry? Or does it mean that the record company used them up. The record company loved their death's ("Until you kill yourself, and then the sales go through the roof"). So by rejoicing in Hoon's death are you sharing the feelings of Mike Portnoy or are you sharing the feelings of the record company? Hell if I know, I'm not Portnoy. I sincerely hope Portnoy doesn't rejoice in the death of Hoon. I'm going to GUESS (hope) that the latter was Portnoy's point considering it was the theme of the the rest of the song.

    I agree that this is a lame thread to keep up... but you know, I've decided that I will add one more point to the list. After reviewing the statements by both sides, I have decided that I can no longer listen to virtuoso composer Steve Reich anymore. Once I learned that he's a nazi, and that he uses sequencers and loops... I realized that his talent is a farce. What next.... he'll have Tony Levin play on his album? Will he use Steve Vai's rack of effects and sound "like Mozart?" And then there's the band Sacred Reich, who I've heard one song from... but it sucks, and since that's all I need to know about a musician or group to make statements like "He Blows" I will forcibly avoid all exposure to further Sacred Reich tracks. I'm only a fan of true "metal/prog/anything like that" and I don't wear crackerjack clothes. STAY METAL, OR AT LEAST REALLY, REALLY, HARD PLASTIC, EVERYONE!

    WRONG ............... That is the traditional way of feeling it. To use the term ALWAYS is when you screwed yourself over. Time signatures are here to serve us, not the other way around. When people get past the idea that theory is here to help us not hinder us, then you have LEARNED theory.

    Actually, they were more of a failed attempt for a King Crimson reunion. It might have happened, too, but Fripp wouldn't join, so Allan Holdsworth decided to. Good music, but it would be interesting to think what would've happened had Fripp joined. Would the music be a precursor to the '80s King Crimson, a holdover from the '73-'74 KC, somewhere in between, or something else entirely? One wonders.

So I went up and talked to him... you know... just chit chat... when in walked Hitler... wow... crazy... I didn't know he hung out in this joint... so me, Dave, and Hitler were all chillin out... when in walked Moses... Then all of a sudden, some person put on that Queensryche band on the jukebox... and Hitler started mumbling something about how they couldn't even spell Reich correctly... and then Moses came over and they had some words between them... but then they came to terms that history was history and everyone makes mistakes... but David Lee Roth walked over and interjected...

    Listen. Queensryche sounds like a nazi name. you can get your dictionaries, and say your friend has a jewish name but he's not jewish, but it doesn't change the fact that it is a VERY nazi-ish name.

    Now, I don't think danny is saying anybody is a nazi. He never made any accusations. He only wants to point out that there MIGHT be a POSSIBILITY, since the name is VERY, VERY, nazi like.

    Why's that? Because some things are permeated in the collective conscience. The dictionary won't tell you what 20,000,000 dead people and all their loved ones think of the word 'Reich'. How about adolph? It's just a name, right? It's a meaningless name. How about I go around at parties saying "Hi, I'm adolph hitler!" and I could wear a little mustache and everything. So? So? It's just a mustache, it's just a name, what's the problem?

    Nobody in their right mind can tell me that some meanings you don't find in dictionaries.

    Now, I think it's pretty unlikely that QR is a nazi band. But it's not fair to skewer someone for pointing out that their name is CLEARLY reminiscent of that whole, you know, nazi type deal.
