"Shut the f*ck up.
Don't make come down there and kick your f*cking ass"
-James Labrie 4/16/97
Ok- I just got a boot 4/16/97 form teh eurofix for 97 tour (which sounds
damn good) BTW. James is talking about Trila of Tears and how this is the
1st time they have played and these guys just won't stop yelling in the
audience. He finally gets mad and says SHUT THE FUCK UP, getting the
whole crowd cheering. After that the guys still keep yelling, and then he
says "Don't make me come down there and kick your fucking ass" arousing
the crowd again. Its one of teh funniest moments ever IMO, the boot is
funny, they play this bad 3 minutes of covers, including a screwed up
version of "dance the night away" form VH. I don't think JP really knew
it, so it came out wrong. As James said "What do look like a fucking
jukebox?" And then said this has turned into spinal tap. heheheh Gotta
love Labrie.
Anyway When dream and James unite. Don't buy it. There are tons of people
here and on on the mp.com forum who will trade for this. I never buy
boots, unless it a video cause video dubbing makes em come out all
crappy. But thats just me.

NP-HOB 3-3-00 I FINALLY GOT THIS! THANKS TO AOORIKDIO (Sp?) from the

Well, I went to see Dido last night (British, comparisons range from Sarah
McLachlan to Sinead O'Connor) who in her merch had these teeny, tiny
tank-tops. Might cover a belly button. On a good day. Of course she's
rather petite, so she might actually use one as a nightshirt. She's making
her way to the West Coast (started here in DC, going to Boston, then
working west via Chicago), so those over there may want to check her
out. BTW, her song "Thank You" is used under Eminem's "Stan" on the
Marshall Mathers LP.

Indeed. I have also purchased my ticket for $20.50. Love that box office
savings. I also plan to wear my DT shirt from the last time they were
here. As I'm sure will the rest of the audience.

Message-ID: <20000801140121.C19044@optical.mindstorm.com>
I think I figured out why I like Transatlantic so much more than
Mullmuzzler or LTE. Let me know if this makes any sense.
I absolutely love James' voice. That's one of the main reasons I got
into DT. Everything I've heard him sing on is fantastic. Even
Explorer's Club (which didn't need him -- I'd buy anything that Bozzio
and Sheehan do, even if my mom sang on it) gets me every time I listen
to it. But Mullmuzzler just sounds like more of the same to me.
There isn't even any songwriting I haven't heard on the disc. The
Shadow Gallery-written songs sound like Shadow Gallery with James
singing, and the Magellan-written songs sound like Explorers Club,
without Bozzio and Sheehan (and Petrucci, and Sherinian, etc...). Not
that it's bad by any stretch, but it wasn't new to me.
LTE sounds the same way to me. John, Mike, and Jordan playing just
like John, Mike, and Jordan. Phenomenal stuff, and as above, I'll buy
anything that Tony Levin's on, but as much as I enjoy listening to it,
it didn't really break any new ground to my ears.
On the other hand, Transatlantic is a real break from tradition for
Mike. Sure, three of the originals are Neal Morse's babies, and they
definitely have that Spock's sound, but with Roine and Pete, and
especially Mike, there's added flavor there.
The same holds, I think, for Platypus. With the possible exception of
Ty, I get the feeling that these guys are playing stuff they like to
play, but don't get a chance to do outside their bands.
Anyway, with people starting to talk about James mulling (sorry :)
another solo project, I would love to hear something that's a
departure from the Magna Carta sound. I don't know what, but it would
be cool to hear what else he can do. Now that I'm thinking about
Matheos' solo stuff again (man, now I wish I brought that stuff to
work today), that's what I think a solo album, or side project, should
be -- all the other tricks an artist has up his sleeve, that don't get
a chance to be represented in his main band.
Of course, that's just me, and I'm sure I'll enjoy anything these guys
choose to release.

Message-ID: <000b01bffbeb$314d5060$b9c3fea9@madstation>
Hmm.
I am looking forward to Moore's new album, but I haven't ordered it yet.
What I can say is that I picked up 2 discs at the same time not long ago...
a Garbage cd and the new Planet X disc. I bought the Garbage album because
I want to start figuring out which parts of pop music I dig, and how I can
use them... the same way any Shredi does with his Cacophony and Malmsteen
albums. I have been a Sting fan forever... I like Foo Fighters... but
Garbage is one of those bands I was always like "They're tight, but I don't
know if there's anything going on there..." Anyways, Planet X, which the
Shredi handbook would insist is a winner just pales in comparison.
That's fucking sick.
I bought an album on which the musicianship is adequate but not
stunning, except for the vocals which are certainly excellent... and I
bought an album from 3 guys who I KNOW are monsters... MacAlpine who I have
been listening to for over a decade, Donati, who is on my short list of
ultimate drummers, and Derek, whose writing and vibe are untouchable, IMO.
Planet X's new album nearly put me to sleep. Everything is solid, but
nothing seems alive! To date, I have not been nearly as impacted by
Virgil's album playing as I have by Mangini, Bozzio, Nick from Spock's, etc.
The only reason I know he rules is from his videos and from the 2 times I've
seen him. MacAlpine shocked me... shocked because I didn't care about what
he was playing! I need to listen to it a lot more and see if I was missing
anything, but the compositions were pretty bland, with a few exceptions.
And then there was this Garbage album, which yesterday on a whim I
decided to play along with, and was able to learn in its entirety in one
listen. That puts things into perspective, I must say. Certainly I have
not strayed from the teachings of my Shredi mentors... I mean, I'm gonna
drive from Chicago to see fuckin' Bumblefoot in Jersey a week from Thursday,
and the power behind that band is Ron *Yoda* Thal. But now based on Mike
Patrick's review I'm wondering if I'm gonna flip out over the new Chromakey.
I have a feeling it's perfect for me.
Just a ramble-ance

Jammers,
I'm trying to plan a small (5-10 people) get-together in Philly a few hours
before this Friday's show. What I had in mind was lunch somewhere close to
the venue around 3pm, and then heading right over to the EF for a good spot
in line afterwards. Please mail me privately about this *ASAP* if you're
interested, as we only have a few days left before the show!
Peace,

Friday night (August 4th) Randy Jackson (Zebra) will be playing a mostly
acoustic show at the Main Street Internet Coffee House & E-bar -
2656 Main Street in Deep Ellum. Doors open at 8 PM
Randy will be playing selections from Zebra, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and
Pink Floyd. Should be a great show.
If you'd like to purchase tickets in advance ($10) contact Don Wishon via e-
mail at: dwishon@gt.com Otherwise - tickets will be available at the door for
$12.
E-mail me with any questions about the show.
Also - if you get a chance to see a Rik Emmett solo show - I highly suggest
it! I was never a huge Triumph fan, but he put on a fantastic show here in
Dallas recently playing everything from Jazz to old Triumph to some seriously
progressive rock. For more info and a list of upcoming shows, see his web

Dave Mustaine was wearing a very cool orange hockey
shirt with the DT Slogan on it, when Megadeth played
in Brazil in 95's Monsters of rock.
For me, being a DT fan and a Megadeth fan as well, it
was very very nice to see. That day i found out that
Dave Mustaine is also a DT fan.
He rules.

Jam,
I'm looking to get a good practice amp for my dorm
room. What do you guys recommend? The various one's
I've seen is a Marshall, Fender, and Rogue in the same
price range.
What wattage should I be looking for? Its not going
to be really loud all the time, but I don't want to
get a cheap practice amp that I can't turn up. Is 10W
enough? More or less?
If anyone has any recomendations, I'd love to hear
them!

Well, the answer, mein freund, depends on the question. How much are ya
willing to spend?
Not to sound like a used car salesman (Or worse yet...a Guitar Center
salesman), but even the little amps vary from Pignose quality to Unbelievable!
I don't know what the rate is these days, but if you can find yourself a Mesa
Boogie DC series combo amp, you'll be plenty set for both dorm room jammin'
and gigging. I think it was a DC-10 that I played through that sounded pretty
damn nice. The price range was somewhre around $800-$1100 I believe.

After 5 years of training in the shredi arts, I have grown a distaste for my
Crate GX-20M 20 watt solid state practice amp. I've tried to use it in a band
setting, and it gets overwhelmed by the drums alone. Adding a bass and a
second guitar to the mix, and the only way I could hear any distinct sounds
(cranked at 10, mind you) was by putting my head right in front of it!
But it sufficed for dorm living. I'm still using it in my apartment, but now
that I have a Rocktron Chameleon making love to my guitar signal, it's a
little more bearable. :)
If you're going to spend no more than say, $300 on the amp, Peavey's always
been relatively good. There was an amp very similar to my Crate that shared
the same features as my crate, but had two 8" (?) speakers instead of one 10"
speaker...for true chorusing, I'd assume.
If you can shell it out, the DC would satisfy you, I'm sure. Like, totally.

I waited and waited, but that damn Bulgarian jammer won't write the
story for the DT concert in Budapest on 19-th July. Still struggling
should I waste some 3 hours and write mine. Shortly, it was AWESOME. The
20-27 hours drive to arrive Budapest add to the thrill. :)
And on the signing autographs session at the local music shop:

On a similar question from our jammer Hipodilski at the shop, Mike said:
"I'm already too old for that stuff!", or something similar. :) So there
you have it, no more drum solos. ;o)
BTW, what's the deal with Mike wearing a Kiss mask half of the concert?
:)
He looked creepy, the mask suited him very good.

I second that! :) The man was truly genius.
> does anyone have any good zappa bootlegs?
Oh boy, there were some FTP servers PACKED with Zappa bootlegs, mainly
hwole concerts.
With 2 friends of mine we did some few months downloading and now we
have maybe 4-5 CDs with mp3s of it. :) There is some awesome stuff
there, like complete Apostrophe played on one gig, and oh my God, what a
performance.
Also there's this cool tune "Clowns on Velvet" played live with AL
DIMEOLA. :) Zappa and Al, who would've thought. :) Al shreds really good
on it in his usual electric flamenco style.
On another note, while surfin' TV channels I bump on familiar tune. WE
WILL ROCK YOU. :) VERY cool cover, FIVE featuring Queen. Who are these
guys FIVE? They seem like just another Backstreet clone. But I must say
they sang the song pretty good. Very cool cover indeed, enriched a lil'
bit, but the main vibe of the song is kept. I'll look up for the mp3
these days.
And finally, what's with the new MacAlpine album? I heard praises on it,
but not from a metal community. :) I was told it's completely unlike his
older stuff, but a bit of jazz rock. Ummm, seems tasty.

I never heard that, or don't remember hearing it. However, if you hear
someone screaming out "Nicky Lemmons!" before Derek is pretty much
bullied into singing Ice Cream Man, that would be me ;)
I gotta say I remember a post of yours where you say something to the
extent of "Would anyone care if I signed my emails 'Warmest regards'?"
I do, and it scares the hell outta me.

Amen sistah Babs! I was at a Type O Negative show and was forced to buy
an XL because everything else had been bought. I'm considering belting
it and going for a revival of 80s style dresses.

I think I'm going to be able to make it to this show! SWEEET!
Ticketmaster still says that there are tickets available - it's not
mistaken, is it?
If I do end up going to this, are there any plans for a 'Jammer / MP.com
Forum meeting in the works? I'd love to REALLY meet some of you for once.
