I just loved that show, it was great! I tried to never miss an episode -
he was my kinda guy! Matter of fact I was sitting in a hospital room
watching MacGyver when I was trying to name my daughter. The original plan
was to name her Rachel, but she didn't look like a Rachel. Anyways, I was
watching MacGyver, and his nemisis Murdock, in an episode where Murdock's
sister was kidnapped or something? Anyways, that's how my daughter got the
name Ashton (which was the sisters name).
BTW, wasn't Murdock played by some former rock star? I think he also did a
lot of sci-fi movies as well....

Yup, and the specimens had to be between something like 150 and 175 pounds
in order for it to register them, and it couldn't be blown up with
dyno-MITE!, a grizzly bear fucked with it and lost, and it was made out of
liquid metal like the T1000. Yup. That's the Ruum, alright. Nasty

What's the link between Diablo II and Steve Vai?
Take a good listen to the background music when you get to the Cellars in the desert town. "Tir Jolein" or whatever it's called. I thought it sounded familiar. They used the same sample track that Steve did for his song "The Blood and Tears" off of his new album. :) It made that level more enjoyable than most. :) -- KorgX3 doesn't some wicked wavering Indian style singing for you.

Finally, in other Download news, suggested by longtime reader Mark Worden (who keeps me on my toes), there's a new music album you could download, but don't bother: : Metallica's "Download This," which has a photo of a lewd, confrontational hand gesture on the cover.
http://bbspot.com/News/2000/6/download_this.html
Being a writer, I'm all for protecting copyrights. Until now, Metallica has been WAY ... OUT ... OF BOUNDS. The band's new 74- minute "album," called Download This, contains one 55-minute song, and a 19-minute rail against Napster from drummer Lars Ulrich. According to BBspot.com, Ulrich says: "The 'Napster Begone' track is so long and so horrible that no one in their right mind would take the time to download it."

ahhh, Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes....my all time favorite short story, along with "The Most Dangerous Game" (Richard something), and "A sound of thunder" (Ray Bradbury). The novel is pretty cool, but doesn't quite retain the immediacy of the original version. Still love it, though, probably among my top ten books. I'd never heard of the movie version, so I guess that'll be on the wonder if the video store has.... list.
As for TV (and usually in a post like this I'd apologize for off-topicness, but hell, has DT even been mentioned on here the last two-three days?), I guess it isn't really 80s, unless it started in the latter part of the decade, but Quantum Leap still stands as my all time fave 1 hour show.....couldn't let a discussion of great TV pass by without mentioning that gem.

ROFL. God, I completely forgot about that movie. They had like 10 card series of the Garbage Pail Kids, then the movie with the kid from the Facts of Life. And all the little garbage pail Kids were scary looking in the movie, and I specifically remember one of them throwing up and me being all grossed out by it. Those were the days.

The fellow with the bike that launched a submarine-sidecar was Sly Rax. The vehicle's name was Piranha. :) I preferred Vanessa Warfield in Manta, though.
Still have a pile of my old M.A.S.K. toys. Wish I had been around when my mom sold my die-cast Voltron lion set at a yard sale, though, because I wouldn't have let her do it.
Incidentally (and somewhat more on topic) I saw a pile of DT shirts at this year's Dragon*Con. Lotta people have seen the Metropolis 2000 tour, evidently. :)

Personally, I'm glad to see these guys doing ANYTHING. 'Surface Tension', to me anyway, is one of the truely great albums in progmetal. Adventurous vocals, great playing, solid writing. Whatever flavor their new stuff takes, I'm sure it'll be worth it. In the meantime, I URGE everyone here who hasn't to check out 'Surtace Tension'. There's soooo much good stuff out there that goes virtually ignored...

Oh, but they do! Well, at least some do. I'm an airline pilot and I (of course) love DT. I have a few pilot friends that do too. I've never listened to DT while flying my airliner, but I have while flying small private aircraft on several occassions. I have a nifty intercom that has a music input jack that pipes DT directly into my stereo headset. A friend of mine has a plane that he installed a CD player in which plays through the intercom system and automatically lowers the music volume when Air Traffic Control radio calls come in. That way we can rock the wings in time with DT and still not crash because of missed radio instructions.

This is a response to this post and the rather venomous one above it. Marty said in a "Guitar World Inquirer" article from a little while ago that he didn't want to play in Megadeth anymore because he only felt nostalgia when playing the songs and didn't like the band's death and metal image anymore. He also stated that "Megadeth never made the commitment I wanted to being more mainstream" and that "They'll be able to make better Megadeth music without me." Interestingly enough, when asked who he thought was creating inspiring music, his answer was "Goo Goo Dolls, Garbage, and Fastball." I think we can safely arrive at the answer that yes, Marty was responsible for Megadeth's style changing (Although probably not solely him) and yes, Megadeth will now make a heavier album... As for Pitrelli, since I've never heard Savatage I can't comment on him, but I will say I've always really liked Marty's solos, so it kinda sucks that he's gone. But, to quote Dee Snider, "If it ain't metal, it's CRAP!!" (You should listen to his House Of Hair show, this guy's funny as hell)
<< Bah. Bite your tongue ... er, your fingers, since you typed it. ;) Pitrelli is good, and it will be interesting to see what he does with the band, but I'm not sure if Marty was really "the problem" with Megadeth. If there are any better-informed Megadeth fans on this list who follow what goes on in the band more closely and know differently, please enlighten me. = =20 >>

>Yes. I agree. Dave Mustaine has shit lost his mind. Opening for Motley >Crue? C'mon...
Hey, so's Anthrax, and they sure as hell never turned nonmetal. I see both bands more as a co-headliners than openers. It's not called the Motley Crue show in most of the advertisements I've seen, it's the Maximum Rock 2000 tour or something along those lines.
If the new Megadeth album is as heavier as rumor would have it, do you suppose Megadeth could be considered a "sell-in"?
Speaking of metal, I caught the Division / Single Bullet Theory / Hades show the other night at the Trocadero's Upstairs. Great concert, and only $8. Division's new material is outstanding -- I'm really looking forward to their new album ("Trilogy" I believe?). They covered Savatage's "Power of the Night" as the closer to their all-too-short set. Single Bullet Theory, a local Philly act, is a band to look out for. They're releasing an EP next month. Good stuff, heavy and catchy. They came on after Hades for some reason (maybe so people could get home at an earlier hour, I dunno), and did a collaboration on Sabbath's "Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath" with Hades' singer, Alan Tecchio, which even had a couple vocal lines chipped in from a couple of the Division guys at the base of the stage. Hades, I'm not fully familiar with, but they totally deserve their underground-legend reputation. The non-musical highlight of the evening: when the insane guy, a moshpit of one, who had smashed Scott Stewart's (Division) beer, had been shouting "white power!" to the crowd, and had knocked a few women into the walls as he wildly thrashed around in a room not made for that sort of thing (it's tiny) got dragged out by the bouncers. He was still smiling and waving when they did. Funny, if you think about it...

So many thanks to you for your tips, I´ll try them today, I´ve also noticed that reverb helps a lot. I´ve seen also (I don´t know exactly if it´s real or if it´s my imagination) in the G3 video (Satch, Vai, Johnson), that Vai and Satch, make some feedbacks by doing some kind of tap harmonic.
Maybe the compressor (and maybe some light vibrato)serves as well to get some feedback. I have Digitech´s RP20 and an Ibanez RG570 With V7/S1/V8 Pickups.
By the way I JUST CAN¨T BELIEVE THAT DREAM THEATER IS COMING TO MEXICO CITY!!!!!!! I´d better start earning money if I want to be there!!!!.

That's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. I can understand if you'd sat that about never Savatage stuff, but what about the old stuff with Criss Oliva? one of the best metal guitarists ever! His solos were incredible! So don't say a difficult Savatage song "doesn't exist".

That's also nonsense. Al may not be as good a player technically as Marty yet... but he's not far off. I doubt he'd have much trouble learning the techniques since Marty himself showed Al how. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge Al fan, but you're making Marty out to be a god and he ain't.
> for the Practicing Musician's label... but he doesn't have a SPARK of what > Marty had... until Marty Friedman got on the $$$ bandwagon and started > playing pop music in a band named after a genocide-like million person
That's BS. It's not like the band got all pop and he didn't like it so he left. I read an interview with him about his current tastes of music, and it was all POP CRAP... I mean MADONNA was on the list!!! C'mon!

Now you've gone and done it, Damon. You've piqued my curiosity. Considering you're only begging the question, I'll bite. How does a blind person read a comic book? :) -- KorgX3 used to love the Incredible Hulk comics, too.

Um... It's sounds like you're cookin' up a serious case of "FUCK YOU!"
There's nothing wrong with Madonna. There's something called "broadening the spectrum" which you might look into. Your first step would be to go pick up a Pet Shop Boys CD, turn it sideways, and ram it right up your candyass, jabroni.
Oh, wait, that's "broadening the rectum," my bad. Instead, try listening to said CD, yeah, that's it. ;) -- KorgX3 usually doesn't make stupid mistakes like that.

I know this thread was a week ago, but here's my take on the practise thing. 'Course, how seriously you take it might be informed by what you think about me ranking JP and Steve Lukather a few hundred places above Vai on the "groovy musicians" list! ;)
