Hi All!

Here I go again....

I'll agree with California Audio Labs, but not Denon.. Denon is better than
most consumer audio gear, but far from high-end; Particularly when not
dealing with their top-shelf models. I've recently been inside some newer
Denon gear; One CD Player and one integrated amp. The CD player
certainly had better electronics than the average crap, but it's mechanical
integrity was horse shit.. As for the amp... They should be ashamed for
building a turd like that. The power supply was laughable and the source
switching was pathetic. Not to mention the fact that it was here because
it blew up! Another engineering milestone! They have figured out a better
way to get a $25.00 device to blow in order to protect a .20 cent fuse. :-/
The only way gear is going to get better is if we STOP buying junk and
send a message to the consumer electronics industry. We did that to
the American auto industry several years back and the results were
better built vehicles.
Realistically, you need to spend $600.00 + to attain a player worthy
of your valuable CD collection's playback needs. Look at Rotel, and Adcom's
upper tier players, as well as the lower models from California Audio
Labs, Arcam, and Rega. All these companies offer something in the
$600.00 price range. Listen closely first.. ALL these players have
their own unique sonic signature. Most dealers will let you return
your purchase if the relationship between your existing system and
the new player is a mismatch. If this is a first time venture into mid-fi/
High-end, you should be THRILLED by ANY of those machines.

Now here is a RARE case where an EQ could be useful... Try attenuating
EVERYTHING below 60 Hz and above 400 Hz. Then boost up the frequency
ranges between 60 Hz and 400 Hz one band at a time until the bass guitar
attack becomes the most audible. The more bands and wider control range
the EQ has, the better the chances are of singling out the desired instrument.
The SONG will sound terrible, but the end result could be an easily distinguishable
bass guitar part. The frequency range quoted is the approximate area you want
to concentrate on. Don't be afraid to try band tweaks in order to achieve the
instrument definition your looking for.

I use a G400 MAX with twin monitors. The card rocks, but it still has it's
shortcomings like EVERYTHING else. At the moment, I can't think of another
card I would trade it for... At least for my applications. Dual screens kick ass!
The Windows image quality is impeccable, I can't say that for very many cards.
The G400 is void of any video anomalies, it behaves quite well and isn't prone
to leaving chunks of shit lying around the desktop like MANY game oriented
cards. Setting up the dual-head display properties can be cumbersome for
the average computer user. Once setup it's generally trouble free.
Gaming performance is adequate and compatibility is better than average.
I rarely play games anymore, and when I do it's generally stuff like "Unreal"
and "Need for Speed III". My son plays several games.. When game setup is
troublesome it's usually the fault of the SB Live! The video card does everything
we've thrown at it with ease. All in all, the card rocks... And I'm a picky fucker.

Windows certainly isn't perfect, but most people's problems can be blamed
on unstable hardware or poor Windows management skills. If you're one of
those clowns that downloads and installs every application under the sun just
to try them out... And winds up relying on the uninstall to clean up the
droppings, you deserve to have trouble. I'm running a G400 MAX with twins
on a 128 meg machine. It's NOT crash prone. I'm also running under WIN Me..
(Windows Millennium Edition) I've also setup MANY dual-head machines under
Win 98SE.. Running the dual displays is responsible for a slight performance
hit, but the benefits of dual monitors is priceless! IMHO.
The Jury is in and I have ruled! <grin> The G400 MAX rules!!!

Hi yall,
I heard on the news a few weeks back that cdnow was going out of business
within a month. Assuming it was still safe to place an order (which I've
never done before), I did so yesterday and was scandalized by the fact that
we must pay first, THEN get the merchandise. Insanity! Anyways, I guess I
was searching for assurance that cdnow is still a sound business. Or a
warning that they're going to rip me off as sure as the day I was born.

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.

<< Respectfully withdrawn. Yes, he does sing, that multitalented bastard. :-)
And he wears this pinstriped suit onstage that is literally totally soaked
with sweat at the end of the show... THose guys all give amazing
performances. Speaking of Mike Mangini, I have some of his drumsticks!
(Signed, even...) When I saw Vai it was on Thanksgiving last year, and
during
his drum solo Mike played parts of it one-handed while eating a giant turkey
drumstick! He definitely gets some credit for that. What do you guys think
of
Dave Weiner? He had this weird solo where he included little bits of Russian
folk dances... SImilar to the way JP includes Tarantella and FotB in his
bullshit exercises.... :-) I mean come on, the OiaL solo has some cool
parts,
but you can't tell me it's not random bullshit (And say that it still
adheres
to a musical structure; that's not the point). >>
Dave is the man. I talk to him quite frequently now actually. He has a solo
album coming out soon, and just made a guest appearance at Jemfest 00'. (A
celebration of Ibanez JEM guitars, and other Ibanez guitars...).
I really wish he would have gotten a longer solo spot. He got the dream gig
man, he really did. He started off interning for Ruta Sepetys, Steve's
manager. She hooked him up with a job at The Mothership, (Steve's studio),
and did odd jobs, running for coffee, cleaning the glass between the control
room and the sound room...things like that. Well, he was then hired on for
Steve's personally assistant for the UZ tour. There were some parts that
could use an extra guitar, and would lighten the work-load on Keneally, (Not
that he couldn't handle it...), so Steve told him one day, "Here's a list of
songs, bring your guitar and have them learned." (That's not word for word,
it makes Steve sound like a prick...but NO, he's not. :-) )
So next ya know, Dave's gettin all the chicks. :-)
I wouldn't be suprised if Dave hit the next Vai tour as well.
I saw Vai 11-23-99-NYC. Best damn show I've ever seen....stuck right between
Steve's monitors the entire night. Even though Sardinas gave me a shower of
bear and sweat....I'd do it over and over again...

Exactly when did Queensryche enter into the prog metal category?
Great band, but come'on. Strictly rock...nothing more. Okay I'll spot
you parts of 'Mindcrime'.
But really.
ya daddy >>
Damn, I've always heard of Queensryche being referred to as the "thinking
man's band." A band that writes highly intelligent lyrics and strongly
written songs and one hell of a powerful set of musicians. They might do
keyboard/guitar solos in unison, and they might not write the mandatory 20
minute song, but by my standards they were a band that came out with an EP
that sounded like nothing else, forged ahead a trail that few chose to tread
and became the leaders in intelligent metal. Mindcrime to me is still the
untouchable concept album in metal. Done over ten years ago and still no
other metal band can match it's presence.
Sure, I know that these days that don't sound that great and they are playing
down, but everything from Promised Land back was great.
I know that they may fit into the "melodic metal" catagory more. But if you
wrote down a list of qualities that would set a band into a prog meatl
catagory, then they would surely fall into it.
Don't get me wrong, I respect your opinion.

I'm sorry but I refuse to allow myself to throw in any and every single band
that manages to write good lyrics, tight well written music, and high levels
of technicality. Though Metallica and the prog genre may not exactly be
"night and day," i believe that that album falls more into the catagory of
thrash/speed metal.
However I submit this. I will compare this subject this way: I don't think
Cradle of Filth is black metal, I think they are gothic metal with black
metal tendencies. Just like Metallica's "...and justice for all" is a
thrash/speed metal album with progressive tendencies.

When I got the new King Diamond CD I was surprised to see that Dave Harbour

but he looks strangely like John Petrucci now.
Dumb subject matter, I know. However, if you look at that picture in the

the only reason I didn't say he should go get a G4 immediately is because he
said he was getting the components from a friend for dirt, and you generally
can't build a Mac from parts.
But since we're on the subject, getting a G4 with two hard drives and
256 MB of RAM would be the way to go. Get Mark of the Unicorn's Digital
Performer software with a 2408 I/O device, and you'll be all set. Performer
is also a powerful sequencer in addition to digital audio software. My
friend Gary uses this equipment to record all kinds of stuff for Disney
(karaoke CD's, sing alongs, greatest hits, etc). this would be the ultimate
way to go (without spending extra thousands of dollars for Paris (what my
band is recording our new CD on) or Pro Tools (a ripoff when you consider
paris for 1/3 the price))

hahahahah. Exposed is the Apple Elite! Woe unto he that speaks out
against Steve Jobs! Ah! :) I swear. It's not that I really hate mac
users, I hate macs. You guys are like neo-Christian Nazis sometimes in
your intense efforts to preach the open-apple gospel.
I think it's a cache 22. I don't like Macs because I see their users turn
into beligerant cult-like mind-controlled collective conscious Borg, but
I'd probably use one if I weren't afraid of being assimilated. Actually,
the only times I've ever seen them in action was when my friend's dad
enticed me to sit at it and it abruptly crashed in Solitaire whenever I
drug the wrong card to the wrong spot. The other time was when I heard
another maniac complain that it was all of the PC oriented 'net services
that made it so difficult for his Mac to connect to the 'net. Mmm hmmm...
Is it just me or do Mac users all share a common affinity toward keeping
Radio Shack in business, too? *rubs chin thoughtfully*
I also love how the Apple Elite's personal attacks and insults and
abandonments are more like a challenge in order to get you to try their
mind-control devices. Trust me, I saw the Lost Boys. I remember when
Michael was tricked into drinking vampire blood. I'm not that damned
stupid. One of these days I'll drive a stake through Steve Jobs' heart
and will free the world!
But, until then, there's alway Diablo II, which you Mac users can't play
yet. :D

There's nothing like a good dose of "Waste Away" that makes people go "whoa!
rock!" :-) Been there, tried that on not so few guys and gals. :-)

Oooops, yep, that's me. Longtime Jammers will remember that I ran Mike
M.'s international fan-club for about five years, from 1988-1993 or so.

Yea, if I can ever get my scanner working again I'll scan those photos
in and finish the harrowing tale of eating dinner with some guy named
Bruce Sterling (I didn't know who he was until about halfway through),
in the same room as Andrea Dworkin. Yipes!

Still considering air-trippin' to the Roseland; it will be...interesting

Does anyone else find it funny that so many Americans feel the need to
spell it Dream "Theatre", the British way, and here's Nicko, a Brit,
spelling it the American way?
Oh well, back to lurking.

A while back, someone posted a URL where they'd made available a bootleg of the entire SFaM show. Could you re-post that URL, please? I want to get the lot onto my hard disk!
Are there any more shows available like that, perchance?

Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.21.0007200755150.24325-100000@tree1.Stanford.EDU>
Hi everyone,
I'm just lurker here, but I was wondering if anyone living in/around
Portland, OR could help me out. I'm new to the area and I desperately want
to see a show here in August, but I have virtually no info on the venue,
"The Paradigm" on 9th St. The thing is, I have a friend flying out from
the East Coast to see it with me and I want to make sure that they don't
pull that "only 21 and over" crap on us before he books his
tickets. Whenever I've called this week, no one picks up and I'd like
to find out before the weekend, when they'd presumably be there. (BTW, the
band is In Flames, a Swedish melodic death metal band) Any help would be
greatly appreciated- sorry for going off topic, but I'm getting
desparate. :P
Thanks,
Evan

Probably,some of you may have already heard about DT headlining
in this festival which took place in Athens,last Friday,as Iron Maiden
had to cancel their show .
The show was really great.As expected.What i didn't expect was
people jumping up and down all the time,singing,headbanging,
even moshing( i believe that James LB should be credited for part of
that cos he seems to have progressed much as a frontman and communicated
very well with the fans,overall,much better than the 5yial video) .
Clouds of dust rose (essential effect for an open air
concert) during many songs and especially during The Trooper
which was the last song of their setlist.
What i found kind of annoying,was the interval music.I too
like Beck (and i don't mean Jeff Beck) but not after In Flames
or while waiting for DT to come on stage.
I recall hearing "Deadweight" several times and as well as
some "crossover" bands,those that toss a sampler next to a guitar
that is.Anyway,not all were that bad,but considering DT
appeared after 3 atmospheric/death metal bands you can
understand the crowd was not really in the mood for such
stuff.
All in all,the show was great.
>But let's face it, I joined this list
>for Dream Theater information. The Ytsejam used to be one-stop
>shopping.
Here's some juicy info for you mate.Apparently James was not that
sure he could remember all the lyrics to the classic maiden tune
so he had them written down on paper,and stuck them somewhere the
crowd couldn't see.Fortunately,one of the technicians had the bright
idea to throw those to the crowd after the band had left the scene.
I got meself the last two verses.(%

np:Unkle & Ian Brown - Be There.Mp3<<<excellent song btw
