*Korg's rant snipped*
Hey when I started this, my goal was not to proclaim an pretensions of musical authority, or to degrade people who agree with me. It was simply to rant about these corporate whores who are degrading the integrity of the music industry. IMO, it's not the fault of the people, nor even the Backstreet Boys, it's the executives. I agree, just because people don't seek out all the information at their fingertips, does NOT make them ignorant. It just means they have different priorities. I'm willing to bet you they DO seek the information on whatever they are actually interested in. It doesn't have to be music.
All the same, they're spending their money on whatever cd's they happen to hear on the radio. Because of this, there should be some integrity in the music world, so that we're not bilking people out of their money with organized schemes such as BUILDING A BAND OUT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE, AND SEEMINGLY NO LOVE OF MUSIC AT ALL!! This is the real problem with the Backstreet Boys. This wasn't a band of people that started because they were doing what they loved to do. They were hand picked because of their looks matched whatever the company's charts told them at the time, and put together for the sole purpose of making money. Bands like KISS may be in it for the fame, but at least they enjoy music, and they enjoy entertaining people. These record companies, and probly the Backstreet Boys themselves (though there, I admit to making an assumption) are interested in nothing more than conning people out of their cash.
Yes, people WILL listen to what they like and will not listen to what they don't. However, they will also listen to whatever is marketed to them, because this is simply the easiest way they have of finding out what's new. Bands like the Backstreet Boys are designed with the philosophy of marketing, not entertainment. For every person who listens to bands like this, you'll find at least something in their collection that is personal and deeply entertaining to them (and that doesn't mean it has to be to everyone else). This is fine, but the marketing machine has got to stop.
Oh, and Korg? I don't watch professional wrestling, but at least they're honest about it, and a lot of times, they believe in putting on the best show possible for their audience. This is at least some form of integrity. I hold the music industry to a higher standard of integrity (ARE YOU READING? NOT QUALITY! INTEGRITY!) then I do a form of entertainment which blatantly admits to falsifying all its events.

Well, he's been a "star" in Latin America (and with Latinos in the US) for years. I don't think he's change his style anymore than anyone else who works with Desmond Child. The biggest difference being that his older albums were sung in all Spanish, whereas the newer stuff is in "Spanglish," thereby making it accessible to non-Latino Americans. Pretty much all of his music that has made it big outside his traditional audience was off of one album, so it was all recorded at the same time; this means that the ballads were recorded at the same times as all of the other songs that you've probably heard of his.

Oh, so you know for sure that the Backstreets don't care about music? That's interesting. Do you hire these psychic powers out to the Sally Jesse show? You could make a killing.

Um, from the Partridge family to the Spice Girls to the Backstreets, nobody has tried to say that it's for real. The producers who put these things together willingly admit and talk about it, dude. Try and pay attention a little before you slag something, speaking of ignorance.

Hmmm... Well... There is a prog label that manufactures bands for profit, too. Magna Carta? Maybe you've heard of them? Shit, every member of Dream Theater has sold out to them at one time or another. Maybe they're just an exception to the rule. It must be OK for a "talented" artist to sell out over one of these types of people:
>PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE >AND SEEMINGLY NO LOVE OF MUSIC AT ALL!!
You should be a little more open to watching VH1's Before the Music a little more and you'd realize how fucking bullshit that comment is. Many of these "manufactured" bands' members either were struggling in the music biz or were performing for years before hitting it big in the industry. That is a completely baseless comment and I have no idea where you even thought to gurgitate it from.
Don't argue with me that the music industry is corrupt. You're preaching to the choir. But the music industry goes hand in hand with the average citizen. I'm sure if everyone took music as seriously as we do, the music scene would be a >little< different, but they don't, so the music industry can make its own mold.
But even if, say, DT did get the promotion and advertising >we< feel they deserve, it still would not guarantee their success. You may think people are absolute sheep who will cow to the media's demands, but people still aren't going to listen to what they don't like. End of story. -- KorgX3 is through with this topic.

First off, yes the cover is horrible. :-) But fortunately, none of their other albums look like this. From what I understand, some of their concert shirts look like the Chosen Ones cover, but I wouldn't know for sure because I've never seen one.
Secondly, I would say that Chosen Ones is pretty decent as far as giving you a basic idea of their sound and style, and it has several of their absolute classic songs on it, IMO. But, I would not say that it's one of those Greatest Hits albums where you have all the good songs on it so there's no need to buy any other albums. SOOO many incredible songs didn't make the album.
And, as far as being "representative" of their music, it does contain some of their best ballads (Forever, 4000 Rainy Nights, etc.), some of their best all-out melodic thrashers (Black Diamond, Father Time, etc.), and some of their mid-tempo rockers (SOS, Kiss Of Judas, etc.) But, what's missing is any of their epic songs, probably due to time constraints. They've done some incredible epics over the years like Season Of Change, Destiny, Visions, and the like.
So I would recommend that if you like the Chosen Ones, definitely check out their other CD's - especially Visions, Episode, Fourth Dimension, and Destiny. Oh yeah, their newest one "Infinite" is supposed to be incredible too, but I haven't heard it yet.
Hope this helps... Matt T.

What? Oh please.. I know a particular seventeen year old female that would swing her hips to the sound of a doorbell if the asshole pushing the button did it in a repetitive and rhythmic fashion. This same female can't stand music that uses real instruments. She prefers drum machines over a real drummer. The majority of her friends share her taste in music. Call me a prude...

The dance crowd is the target audience for mainstream top 40. If the music buying public continues to settle for mediocrity with a beat, it's never going to get any better. Please don't take this post as a personal slam..

Hey, this is cool to know. Is that why whenever I'm singing a low, "breathy" part, everything is good, but when it goes up a note or two, my voice gets all uncontrollable and suddently higher ? I'm not a singer at all, so that's probably one reason, but this passage thing sounds like the technical description. So I'd have a really low passagio in other words, though I don't know if that's the correct way to term it.
Example: in Scarred, when James is singing "well, we're not laughing," that would be his chest voice, and then the "How come you don't understand me?" would be his head voice ?
Is there any way to ease the jerky transition for an amateur from chest to head voice, so if during a verse it gradually switched one's voice wouldn't just either go way up stay low, as it does now ?
Excuse me if this isn't appropriate for the jam, but maybe some other jammers are wannabe singers like me and find this stuff interesting.

Well, I don't see this as any worse than a person waiting in the front of the line to buy tickets and having his friends get there later. I don't consider it rude, because we'd made the plans AHEAD of time, instead of walking up to him and saying, "Dude, do you mind if we cut in with you?"

I remember a while ago some musician jokes were posted here in the jam, so I thought some of you might get a kick out of it... While fooling around Iron Maiden's website I discovered "Nicko's joke corner", in which, surprisingly enough, a few jokes can be found, some of which are said to have been written by him... And "part 1" of these jokes are drummer jokes, and it says there that a part 2, with bassist jokes is coming up... Anyway, I got a kick out of it, and I thought some of you might enjoy it...
Later, Adriano

You know, not that the whole Millenium, 2000, x2k thing isn't overplayed, but I find it rather coincidental that these three bands chose the same bandwagoning album title, don't you? -- KorgX3 trolls for retards. NP: Savatage - Dead Winter Dead.mp3

I just got it, im watching it right now, and all im thinking is that even though i really want DT to make a DVD. I think they should wait until the time is right for them financially, so they can make a 5.1 dolby digital or DTS dvd w/ tons of features. The fates dvd is cool..but aside from the fact that you can skip tracks, theres nothing there couldnt be on a vhs...its not specially long, it doesnt have features, and the sound SUCKS. Hell the sound in the APSOG VHS is better than this. I hope DT isnt rushed into making a dvd..(not saying that FW was, but you get my point)

It's kind of annoying that everybody is using this whole damn "2000" thing.
> KorgX3 trolls for retards.
Trolls for rewards? Dude, get out from underneath that bridge and just get a real job. :)

If you're really old school, you'll remember that Bafu Vai's origins were from inside a broken down middle 19th century neo classical garage; a music critic cyborg designed in collaboration with Mike Portnoy and MIT robotics engineering school drop outs for the sole purpose of making the Ytsejam mailing list entertaining when D-Man's Hootenanny power wanes.
Pretty soon developers' egos got a bit crowded, and a few bets were made, "I can design a funnier robot than you can! I can do anything you can do better!" And the KorgX3 was eventually unleashed to the masses of the Ytsejam community. Some argue that the original can't be beat.
But me?
