     Ok. What you need to do is go out to the CD shop
    and purchase every Santana album you see, including all the
    live ones.
    <<<<

    No need fo that my friend; Just purchase the live records of Santana in
    the 1974 called "Lotus"; a double CD that goes beyond every definitions
    of "Latin Music"...

    I also think the fan of King Crimson and Robert Fripp should dig this
    album; especially RF in the Soundscape period...

    About the posting considering the band Procol Harum (if I'm not
    mistaken); they're a great band! Just listen to their "Pilgrim's Progress=
    "
    But they're not about shreds though...but about words and illuminations...
    and textures of Hammonds' sounds=85

    O yeah; DO NOT judge them by "A Whiter Shade of Pale"...=20

    Peace and good happiness stuff!

    I saw people talking about the toto drummer being cool, and I'm sure if you
    really wanted to hear what he's got, just buy his solo album, don't know what
    it's called exactly, Magna Carta carries it. And yes, he is rather on the
    good side ;)

    Personaly, I think Entropia is BETTER then ONe Hour . . . One hour has a
    really formulized song pattern, each song has a slow middle section, where
    everything breaks down in a slow piece. I love those parts, and I think One
    hours kicks ass, but Entropia isnt formulized at ALL. Its psycho and its

    Hello all,
        Just thought that I would put my .02 on this Santana issue. I find that
    Santana's music is quite interesting and quite "moving". I suppose that the
    mix of all the auxillary percussion and blending of styles might have
    something to do with it. As for his playing in general, superb. He has a
    great deal of feeling in his music. Remember, it is not how many notes you
    can cram into a measure but how you play them. I too have heard guitarists
    play that can easily be outplayed by the Petruccis and Van Halens of the
    world, but John and Eddie don't have the same ability to move you like
    Santana can. Well, gotta run.. oh and btw, I love that song that Santana
    does with Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20.. very cool! Later, J

    I don't know of ANY portable player that would even come close to
    qualifying as hi-end. However, if you were to acquire one of Panasonic's
    top-shelf players and mate it with a better pair of headphones, you'd
    have some of the best attainable sound-to-go well within your price range.
    You'll want to bring your player with to audition the headphones. Power
    hungry phones will be a challenge for ANY portable to drive. Some of
    the high impedance Sennheiser phones my be ideal with a portable.
    I'd also try some of the Grado, and AKG stuff. Don't be surprised if your
    portable falls on it's face trying to drive some of the better headphones
    to high volume levels. Lower impedance phones will also shorten battery
    life significantly. Everything has it's price...

    Yeah, but Simon Phillips hasn't >always< been their drummer. All of the stuff I've heard has been with Jeff Porcaro, to my knowledge. He was a pretty good drummer in his own right. May the worms stop eating him someday. (in other words, he dead).

    > In a deep, bellowing voice: "You are correct, sir!"

    In a whiny, digital voice: "Yes, you are right!" Anybody remember their Computron? Those things were the greatest. :)

    Is anyone here at all peeved about this Cuban Boy crisis thing? What a bunch of crap. Where's King Solomon when you need him? Chop the little fucker in two and deliver one half to Fidel and one half to his resident relatives here in the US. Fidel would likely display his half on a plaque in his mansion and his relatives wouldn't have to go hungry for awhile. Everybody's happy.

    Well I have to say that I will be keen to see what EB come up with for JP. IMHO I believe the Ernie Ball guitars are very nice. I wonder why EB though? not PRS or Anderson or some other make. (I know about the non-locking PRS trems and the TA only ever have 22 frets; I am just speculating.) I think it is a shame that a player seems to play the guitar because he has got a deal rather than he/she believes it to be the best instrument.

    I wonder if the contractual details are about money, number of guitars, advertising or what. I know that SV and JS are the premier Ibanez endorses. I know Vai has been with them for 15 years but it was him who invented the RG/jem body and the back routed trem etc. etc. etc. So Via is an intellectual share holder in Ibanez so to speak. He really designed the break through instrument for them. Besides he loves his Ibanez guitars, you just need to read any interview where he discusses them. I have never hear/read about JP enthusing over his guitars like Via. Maybe JP just sees them as more of a tool. ------------------------------------------------- Tristam Douglas tris@douglasf1.freeserve.co.uk -------------------------------------------------

    Yes, I neglected to point this out because I was visibly "shaken" by the thought that Santana was, to paraphrase, "out of his prime."

    Oh my, you're missing out on one of life's best joys. Seeing Opeth perform is similar to attending the world's best symphony-- only with death vocals and "clean" passages intertwined! =)

    Seriously, their shows are *amazing*. The guys themselves are *very* cool; my copies of _My Arms, Your Hearse_ and _Morningrise_ are both autographed. _Still Life_ is amazing, I'll handily agree, too.

    > any clips out there that you know?

    Probably, but none that surface immediately. Mikael knows a good friend of mine (drummer for Daylight Dies, a new in-the-same-vein band), and we have some tapes of shows that I may be able to transfer to the Internet's most illustrative music format... :P

    I have to say that since JR has been with DT JP's playing has picked up again with regards to speed accuracy. I have said it before but to my mind you need competition between band members in this sort of band. You can't deny that JP lost a bit of edge during the Derek years, too many "pet" licks if you know what I mean.;} Do you need this element of competition to keep your edge? I think there is an element of competition between JP + JR think LTE2 linear notes "keeping up with Jordan..."

    Also "maturing as a player" is a term usually waved about when a guy starts to play less technically demanding stuff and play more "tasteful," slower passages. JP did this in FII, to my ears, atleast. (When you get older, generally you become less competitive... a possible link.) If Derek was less of a threat with regards to upstaging JP than say KM/JR this may explain why the band was less innovative. I am not talking in terms of musical merit or style here thought. But I will be interested to see if people think the band is tighter as awhole on the current tour. ------------------------------------------------- Tristam Douglas tris@douglasf1.freeserve.co.uk -------------------------------------------------

    Well IMO lines in the sand has Jp's most inovative (different for him) moving and one of the most beautiful solos hes played yet i think. Same with the "lead" on Hells Kitchen. Hell even the Take away my pain solo is awesome.

    Let's be perfectly honest with ourselves. OK, RIGHT NOW we live in this kind of world, but imagine more sane and normal one! So what if in that kind of surrounding you watch on TV some insane bloody movie as Natural Born Killers, or some computer game (Doom) with violent elements, shooting folks around, blood all around? We're used to it, but imagine more pure world. You don't need to be as them, but at least understand WHY they complain about games as Doom and movies as Natural Born Killers. They just ask for a little sanity. There are many artistic masterpieces (movies, songs, books), but the topics dealed with in them are quite tricky. And if you have one healthy kid raised in good environment, exposed to these things - this is the problem. Again, we're used to it, for us it's even PERFECTLY NORMAL hearing on news someone got shot or robbed or beaten to death, BUT it can be a disasterous for pure mind of a child.

    Not trying to sound like the guy who made that site, I'm actually quite amazed HOW he came with such conclusions. What's sad is that because of guys like him other folks generalize and proclaim as moronic one whole religion or type of behaviour.

    hey guys, Is it just me or is this a bad situation. Tickets for all of teh shows announced are on sale as of now, so if you are not sure about DT hitting your town, you buy tickets and make plans to travel 800 miles. Later in the week the rest of the dates are announced, and suddenly you spent 400 dollars for evrything for nothing. I haven' bought anything yet, but its getting pretty close, and its a little silly I think the way this is being done.

    looking for a definition of 'remastering', a thought brought on by my idea that it has something to do with cleaning up the sound on prior versions of released albums, and the fact that I was listening to Metallica's "...and justice for all" CD yesterday.

    methinks that with a good production job, that might land a place on my all time top 20 fave discs lists, but as it is now, some spots are just tough to listen to....

    I did. It's one of, if not THE saddest song I've ever heard.

    And it happens again and again! ;( It's always the damn "buisness as usual"! Shesh, like Santana needed some crappy recognition as Grammy? I mean, look at what Oscar and MTV awards turned into??? Can we take those events as measure for QUALITY??? :( They all spin around trends, fashions. And should I be happy when some of my fave bands gets the award? Yeah right! :(

    > From: Carlos Andres Alfaro <calfaro@yunque.net> > Besides being a very good guitar > player, his music just grooves! Does anyone remember seeing > him ripping it up on the woodstock movie? Damn!

    Yes. And damn again :) And that drum solo in the middle, I think it's one of the best drum solos I ever heard in my life.

    > Korg > Imaging a world without Journey,

    I have no problem about that at all! :)

    > From: Kurt M Hampton <kurt.hampton@juno.com> > > Hell have the people who own the CD probably never knew who he was.

    That can be very close to true. Also here I see praises of the new Santana album. Like "The guy finally did it!" PLEASE somebody shoot me! :(

    Now here's new explanation for the word BLASPHEME!!! :( Huh

    Do you read the Bible Dan? I have this passage that I memorized for this kind of occasions. It goes: "The path of the righteous ..."

    Hi Dustro,

    Well, I have not been back stage at the one and only show that I saw from DT, but one of my net-friends was. At that time he was the keyboard player of the Hungarian prog band called Serenity. Actually, this guy showed DS how to play WFS, because he didn't know... He took some pictures from the back stage, and on one of the pictures I am present as well.;) If you 're interested, I can give you an URL.

    Bye
