    first time in a few years. This is some kickass shit!

    And for everyone who's hacking on Black Magic Woman, that's not even a
    Santana song for god's sake, it's Fleetwood Mac. Santana just covered it to
    be the single. Talk about the guy's own music if you're going to criticize
    him. This shows that most of you obviously don't know what you're talking
    about.

    I think you're completely wrong, but that's also completely irrelevant. The point is whether DT is "bluesier" on that song than Zep, and to anyone who listens to the blues, there's an obvious answer: NO. It's much too straight-laced, a wooden performance. It doesn't have that free and easy sound which is the trademark of good blues. You may think that Zep is more sloppy than free and easy (and you have your right to your opinion, even if once again I think it's stupid), but there's no question that they come closer to the feel than DT. No question at all.

    > It's true that I am not "into" blues. I have, however gone to MANY blues > shows, seen probably in the hundreds of different blues bands/artists. > None of them have ever been nearly as sloppy as LZ in on that song.

    Listen to *real* blues, the old stuff with Robert Johnson or Sonny Boy, Little Walter, folks like that. They were always, especially Johnson, right on that edge of flying off the handle, which I think is a feel that Zep captured very well in their overt blues songs. Zep only sounds sloppier because they're louder, I think.

    James, technically, has a better voice. No question. James, also, on that song, does not capture the feel. He's just randomly wailing, it's bs. Plant wails on it quite a bit, but it's calculated at certain points to build tension in the song. Now, you were talking about the live version originally, and you have need to remember on that one that it was the last show of a long tour, the band were worn down. They had been on the road for pretty much 5 years straight, I think you need to give 'em a break for that.

    He also played and produced The Riverdogs self titled debut album in 1990. Very different to anything he's ever done. A very 'earthy' hard rock sound, that IMO is a classic.

    Indeed they still are making albums, with 'Transistor' being their most recent. None of their recent stuff match 'Tell No Tales'. Tony Harnell also recorded one album called 'Westworld' which wasn't too bad at all (samples at CDmaybe)

    Just out of curiousity, were you listening to the original album version of SIBLY, or a live version? If you listen to DT's version you can tell they're trying to do it exactly like the album version (especially James). Everything, even Plant's screams, are done just like the original. The only obvious exception is Petrucci's guitar solo which ends, as it does all too often, with an unnecessary flurry of notes. Zep's live versions were mostly improv'd over the basic progression - it's one of their most-jammed-on songs. Zep, unlike DT, improvised a lot on stage so most Zep live versions aren't going to sound exactly like the album version (thankfully, and again, unlike DT).

    I find it extremely rare that a cover is better than the original, and this is no exception.

    I saw Bunny Brunel at the Roxy in L.A. while he was opening up for "Banned from Utopia" (ex Zappa guys doing original music and Zappa covers).

    I liked it very much. He's an excellent jazz bassist who is now starting to explore music with a harder edge. At the time he had John Wackerman (this is in fact Chad's little brother; BTW Chad was playing drums for Banned that night), a keyboardist and a guitarist--although I can't remember who they were. Lot's of jamming, no singing, but an interesting sound. Whether or not it's prog, I don't know. I thought it was closer to a jazz/rock fusion than progressive.

    His web site: www.bunnybrunel.com (surprise)

    Hope this helps.

    Hehe. I'm not going to start a debate on Widespread Panic here, but I think Houser is actually the weak link in that band.

    However, it's great to see another Panic fan taking in Dream Theater (or vice versa).

    Baltimore doesn't suck for one. Two, Recher sucks compared to Bohager's. Granted the Recher is a neat place to hang out and get drunk and all, but the accoustics aren't really that great for DT. I'm actually a bit more excited seeing them at Bohager's, only because it's a more intimate feel. Recher took the place of Bohager's on the IMP production's list when Bohager's bought out Parrot Island. It used to be linked w/ Fletcher's, the 9.30 club, and another club (i can't remember the name). But Recher is mainly for local acts (i.e. Kelly Bell, Laughing Colors, All Mighty Senators). But anyway, the show should still rock. The reason that there were 350 tixx left for Recher, is because it's out in Towson, and a lot people in Baltimore don't know much about music. That's why the local acts never seem to get noticed. But anyway, any jammers going to the show, let me know, we could all hookup somewhere. I'm out. Peace.

    Yep, I've got all the TNT. Hey Korg, the new one, is, well, weird... The cover is pretty cool, but the music is down a different track for them. I'm gonna listen to it again this weekend, but just be warned, it doesn't even sound like the same group... And I seem to remember it sucking... Oh well, like my opinion matters! As always, decide for yourself.

    I've already posted my opinions on Santana, but I will say this: I'd rather see him get an award than Ricky Martin, et al... But then again, I don't have any respect for these awards anyway. It's all in who the record industry decides to promote. My hat is off to a guy who has long paid his dues, and I respect Santana, even though I don't like his playing... Darn, that just snuck in there again! Just in case anyone thinks I only like chops infested players, buzzzzzzzzzt! I do like David Gilmour. It's just a matter of touch... or is it tone? :-)

    Oh yeah, back to TNT. I was always impressed with LeTekro's (sp?) machine gun technique as well, until I saw them live - he basically is just picking very quickly on ONE string, and sliding his left hand up (or down) the neck, depending on what solo you're listening to. Almost as if he was just laughing at all the super chops guys! He does play some really great stuff though - very unpredictable...

    Also out of curiousity, everyone knows that Led Zeppelin IS NOT A BLUES BAND, right? Definitely a rock band, and this song just happens to have a "bluesy" feel to it.

    Just wanted to mention that to all these people who seem to know absolutely nothing about Led Zeppelin...

    GOds there's so many more. This is off the top of my head. Anyway, the best thing the Simpsons ever did was The Mr. Sparkle episode. Or maybe that's because I've seen one too many Japanese commercials, and I know how accurate it really was! ;)

    Well...they had a lot of songs that "just happened to have a bluesy feel." They were a rock band, yes, without question...but they were, especially on the first two albums, *very* heavily influenced by blues music. They always cited the blues as their biggest influence, people like Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, etc.

    Vivian Campbell was in an early 80's metal band called Sweet Savage. Metallica did a cover of their song "Killing Time." Later he was in Whitesnake for a little while in the 80s, and joinded Def Leppard in after Steve Clark died, where he still is to this very day. Haven't heard of this band though or his involvement lately in anything outside of Def Leppard and his side project band Clock. Maybe it's not the same guy? -Mike C.

    I don't know about the Mann theaters, but I do know that the Edwards 22 in Ontario kicks ASS over any theater I have ever been to. They've got 3 HUGE (larger than the 19 other already LARGE stadium seating cinemas in this complex) cinemas and also some IMAX shit goin on. If you ever get to this place, you should Doc, and whoever else lives in the L.A. area.

    I was at the show at Toads on Wed and I thought Dream Theater was amazing, but Toads was horrible. It was way over packed, no one could move and of course that fence didn't help a thing. I also was standing in front of the sound board but I could barely see or breathe and I couldn't move at all. Dream Theater needs to start playing at a larger place in CT like the Webster or the Oakdale, they've definitely outgrown Toads Place.
