    >

    I'm not Mike, but IMO it ROCKED!!! one of the best concerts that I have ever
    seen, second to Rush and right there even with Jethro Tull.
    They were right on with all their music and the visual effects were super.
    Definitly a don't miss show.
    However I was slightly disappointed with Kansas. The second vocalist just
    didn't cut it. The lead vocalist/violin player went up on the lawn to watch
    the Yes concert after Kansas finished!!

    Amy

    If you choose not to decide,
    You still have made a choice.

    Hi!

    I´m trying to figure out how Petrucci plays and what
    notes he plays in that sweep picking part of Kindred
    Spirits (LTE1) (in the part like a small bridge that
    sounds like "adventure game").

    I don´t have right here the exact CD time when he
    plays it, I hope someone can
    understand about which part I´m talking!

    I´ve already checked the Tab in the Official DT page,
    but I think it´s not accurate. Also, if someone plays
    it like it is written, please tell me how you do it.
    (I´m not good in sweep picking!).

    Any help will be appreciated!

    Thanks
    Gerardo Carstensen.

    hahahah. Ignorant user are ignorant users. :) Regardless of what OS
    they're on, they're going to fuck something up. I seldom run into PC
    problems anymore. The last one I ran into was because they used a capital
    "r" in their username to log onto their ISP when they should have used a
    lowercase. *shrug* but, then, I build all of my co-workers'/friends'
    machines myself, install Windows >right<, and teach them how to use them
    >right,< and Bam! Problems just vanish. :)

    I'll admit, Mac's are great for business level artistic presentation
    stuff, but they suck for entertainment purposes. I mean, come on, all
    work and no play makes Mac users fucking boring people. :)

    And if you say that you find play away from your computer, you're going to
    really, really make me feel pathetic. :D

    hehe people who use win98 are almost as foolish as people who use macs. you need to use a real OS like at least winNT or win2k. linux if you can handle it but i'm the first to admit that i can't, i gave it a shot but it was too much work to learn an entire new OS... its easy to use badly but to learn how to really know your way around it takes a long time, and really win2k is fine as far as im concerned, my machine has been running 89 days without a restart. i pretty much never have problems with it. it's like korg says, if youre stupid you can fuck up any OS, some are just more durable than others :)

    I agree with you guys about the two different ways of thinking. Very good points by all. I can see how there is the one way of looking at prog as having longer songs and more technical than others (in many respects). So, I can see where you all are coming from. I guess we can all agree in putting them in the "melodic metal" catagory.

    << Hi there, I would like someone to talk about Galactic Cowboys and which album would be the best to purchase as a first... >>

    You can't go wrong with their self-entitled debut album, or their second album "Space In Your Face," one of my all-time favorites. However, they might be hard to find. If so, check out "At the End of the Day" or their last and final album "Let It Go" which is also very good. "The Horse That Bud Bought" is okay, in my opinion. A good album, but they could've done better. And stay away from "Machine Fish" unless you like straight-forward, unimaginative metal which seems like they made it to appease Metal Blade on their first album with them.

    Hi all...

    Emerging from lurk mode once again to weigh in on this topic, which is always fun because it's always so hotly contested. Now, as much as I love Dream Theater - they ARE my favorite band, without question - there's absolutely no way anyone with a knowledge of rock history could possibly say they "invented" the prog-metal genre. To me, the roots of prog-metal go way back to the early and mid-1970s, and two bands which shared the same gifted guitarist: Deep Purple and Rainbow. It was Ritchie Blackmore's innovative fusion of classical influences with heavy rock that paved the way for prog-metal, at least in terms of the guitar/keyboard duels and extended solos that have come to be such a central part of the genre. Look no further than such classics as "Rainbow Rising," "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" and especially "Live on Stage" to find many of the main ingredients of prog-metal. I would also credit bands like Jethro Tull and Kansas as pioneers of the genre, blending hard rock crunch with instrumental sophistication on such influential works as "Thick as a Brick" and "Song for America." Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath were also way more progressive, IMO, than many give them credit for being. "Achilles' Last Stand" and "Spiral Architect" are but two examples of this.

    I also believe that one would have to credit Ulrich Roth, Michael Schenker and Randy Rhoads as the fathers of the neo-classical metal guitar style, which has come to play an important role in prog-metal as well. And certainly at least some of the work of King Crimson, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Al DiMeola and the Dixie Dregs demonstrates an understanding of how to blend high volume and energy with instrumental virtuosity, which would help to explain why they have often been cited as major influences by many prog-metal bands.

    Thoughts? Post 'em to the Jam, or feel free to E-mail me directly.

    Thanks for reading.

    Hey everyone. Got my ticket today for the Roseland show. Once again, I will be at the place at 11:30am, or before.

    There gonna be a big DT group following party kinda thing or what? Last Feb 26th we had a mini-sing along in the front of the line, (Ha, and Mike called me crazy because I stood on my feet for 14 +hours to see/meet the band. 11:30am-2:15am when I left, only to get back to Staten Island at 6am, then leave to Manhattan an hour later to board an Amtrack for 8am....).

    Maybe we can organize a block long sing along....

    I know I'm up for anything but leaving my spot. Bad enough some asshole tried cutting in front of me because he had invisible backstage passes, thankfully to a lovely woman who I regret not getting her e-mail adress, grabbed the guy and let me in first, if your on the 'Jam, thanks :-)

    To Steffen Barabasch -

    This is why I have Linux in my PC. I do most of my work in Linux...3D is improving though. Windows/DOS for me now is mostly games , some WWW and Photoshop. (GIMP is a fair, if not complete but FREE alternative to Photoshop for UNIX-type platforms.) Did I mention Linux is free (at least the source code is)? Too bad one has to read a lot of manuals though; this is the area Linux suffers in for the most part, as well as the lack of commercial programs. But hopefully that will improve soon :). ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

    >I would sooner include bands such as Soundgarden and Tool in the prog >camp than Queensryche. (And I'm hesitant to call those two "prog" >either.)

    One could say they both have some prog elements.Very few though. Some songs on BadMotorFinger mostly.But Tool,i can't really say. Maybe progressive as composers but not as actual music players. Their music lacks the technicallity that charectirizes most current prog bands.Unless this was never an actual element of the spoken genre in the first place. Could one say that Tool is pop?Radiohead is considered to be pop and they're both similarly unlike to anything other i've heard in the last decade (very subjective here).And both would certainly be done wrong with if labeled in any way (quite objective methinks).

    Let's not forget a disc format.But then again,what's your point? :) Fact is,that when your pc has some many problems you learn to deal with them very quickly,and generally learn an awful lot about computers. So you could say that windows crashing all the time is part of the MS user educational program(MSUEP,of course,any mac user like Steffen will deny this program's existence,don't fall for that cheap an argument). See?They do care about users after the cheque clears!

    Exactly,there's nothing wrong with Jeff Beck,an awsome guitarist to say the least. But what the speakers were playing was Beck Hansen.I don't have a better word to describe his music than pop.I like Beck Hansen too(and something tells me that the rest on that concert or on this list do not share my opinion),but not at all times and occasions.Some things just don't mix well.Just like punk and prog or cheese and fish IMHO.One could like both individually,but not together. Discuss...(NOT!)

    Last Time I saw them at the Roseland, they were sold out. The line wrapped around 3 city blocks. This is why I chose not to do the iwll call. I can't imagine the line for the window when there is only 2 shipping options.

    I'm all open for a pre show get together, especially since ip'll be getting in to the city in the early afternoon as a result of crashing in a hotel arfter the connecticut show.

    Anyone have any thoughts on where we can all meet? I didn't meet up with any of ya'all last show because I had my (ex)girlfriend with me.

    This is silly. Macs are not "more artistic." A condition of art is that it's made by humans for humans. But semantics aside,

    Macs can perform marginally better. They have been known for their place in the audio and visual design world (for print and graphic design, not animation) They are more fool proof but less stable (for recording, in my experience) and infinitely less secure (they make Win95 look GOOD). They don't offer good multi user setups, meaning if you're working with Audio, you need the Mac to be used solely for Audio apps, if you want the kind of performance you can get with a PC.

    PCs are cheaper. They are customizable There is now MUCH more software for PC in just the Audio/Visual world itself. There are very few pieces of software out there in these fields that don't have a PC version that runs as well or better. There are vastly more user configurations possible You and REALLY run Linux or BeOS etc (you don't have to jump through the Mac hoops to do it) You are more compatible with the rest of the world (this is a field in which conformity is vital, IMO) There are now more Audio hardware solutions for PC (and even the Mac flagship ProTools, including their top of the line TDM systems are available for PC) Lastly, if you're a student and can't afford to get fucked by the software manufacturers, you can try out programs like Cakewalk, Cubase, Logic, etc before you buy it to see which one is right for you. There is next to no Mac warez.

    That's about all I have to say. Take it with a grain of salt. --
