HAHAH that was a good laugh I needed. I am going to the New Orleans show,
so don't ruin anything. :)
Since 80's nostalgia has swept over the jam like a large broom, I know
this may sem gay to you guys, but was anyone here into MAcgyver. About
8th grade I discovered the reruns, and I was addicted to it till I had
seen each one 4 times. I used to love the dukes of Hazzard, I had the
figures and the car. :)

Silly me, I thought Porg was Korg's evil twin brother, who spreads evil
by using Kurzweil instead of Korg. He also drives a black sportscar
called KARR, and looks like Jordan Rudess. Wait, does that make Korg
Derek Sherinian? Are we going to have another Derek vs. Jordan
flamewar? Who will win, Korg in KITT or Jordan in KARR? Find
out! After these messages!!!!

Hey, just trying to help.

I don't remember seeing your list, but I imagine that JP's favorite book, "The Inner Game of Music" was on the list? I try to read through it a week or two before I hit a stage or a recording studio.

That's essentially the Reader's Digest version of the book. It's about getting out of your own way while playing, and understanding your own capabilities while minimizing your limitations.
It amazes me how much of a roadblock the mind can be to making music well. I encounter these problems almost every time I play. "Oh, crap, that fast part's coming up, and I'm going to borq it." That article (the one I posted about) was quite inspirational to me, from a "you know you can do it, so do it" point of view. Glad to see someone getting something out of it. (Somehow, I knew it would be Mads, or Bafu, or Eckie, or one of you Shredis.)

That reminds me of little kids learning how to swim, who simply don't know what drowning is, so they don't have that fear of life-threatening failure.

Preach on, Brother Paul. Once upon a time, there were four great rock radio stations in NYC/LI. The best of all was 103.5 WAPP (Anyone remember this one? Keegan?). I still twitch a little and cry for Mommy when I recall that Sunday morning in eighth grade, when I turned on 103.5 and heard dance music, where once there was Rush and Van Halen.
For years after that, though, we could rely on 92.3 WXRK ("K-Rock") for good classic rock, and 102.3 WBAB and 102.7 WNEW for newer rock (I remember cranking it when the Replacements would come on).
In the winter of '93 or '94 or so, NYC got a new radion station. 104.3 WAXQ ("Q 104.3"). Holy crap. All heavy music, mostly newer. DT, Skid Row, Metallica, Guns N Roses, etc. Amazing.
Of course, it all started going downhill from there. If I remember correctly, K-Rock was the first to fall, and now all they play is Korn, Korn clones, and randomly a song from one of Metallica's first four albums. Q went to the classic rock format, and I believe they now own 20 CDs, and 15 of them are Skynyrd. And WNEW has gone all talk during the week. I'm left with BAB, which doesn't have a very good signal... and my tape deck.
My next car *will* have a CD player.

Jens, in my mind, for some reason, I have U Totem on the same level as Thinking Plague. If you've heard any TP, can you make a comparison for me? If it's as musical as you say, I'll probably eat it up.

This is probably a song that was done in 1996 by a band called The Hunger. I think that a lot of people thought it was Metallica when it first came out due to the singer's voice sounding a bit like Hetfield's. I don't much care for the song, myself. >-A live version of "Comfortably numb" that sounds like it was done by Pink >Floyd; I know that DT has covered "Hey You" but have they ever covered >"Comfortably numb"?

I think this is for real if I'm not mistaken. Taken from some clinic or videotape or something? I don't remember Satriani on there before though but I sould be mistaken. >-But the funniest so far is the following currently available on Napster: >"Mission impossible 2 theme by Dream Theater"(3:27 min) >It seems that someone took the track by Tool on the soundtrack of MI:2 >and labeled it as a DT song and then put it on Napster and hence spread it >around the world. >>

The Hunger are more "industrial" than "progressive", but since those two words don't seem to mean much anymore, I'll try to explain better... :)
Now I think of them as a more melodic, heavier Nine Inch Nails ("Broken" era). On "Devil Thumbs a Ride" (their first album), which included "Vanishing Cream", they were far less melodic, and the songwriting was a bit lacking. Their latest, "Cinematic Superthug", is a far better album, but none of the songs come close to "Vanishing Cream", which is simply a kick-ass tune. There are some very good songs, many of which rival VC, but not quite. I'd definitely recommend either album, however.
My 3 yen... :)

Thanks D-Man for the article, it was really an interesting read...I too have been in the dungeons of ASU's libraries trying to figure out what exactly "genius" constitutes. It seems to be a mixture of this magical attachment to some vocation, extraordinary coordination, imagination, and I think the biggest part of the pie is attitude. I've been training in the shredi arts for almost 5 years now, and not a single completed song to my writing credit, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why that was. I understand the breakdown of songs, the structure of verses, chori, and such, but I just can't sit down and write one to my own satisfaction.
Unfortunately, the world of music as a creative endeavor, isn't quite as cut and dry as the worlds of sports and brain surgery (what good does a baseball being hit 500 feet do if it's a foul, and I don't think you can get away with tying carteroid arteries up as a bloody boe tie and win a nobel prize for inventing a new way to kill people...then again...), it falls into that amorphic fog with that "art" stuff nobody can quite get a hold of either.
But I'm mixing physical genius with intellectual genius there, I think. Then again, what the hell is genius? Who is more deserving of the title, Michealangelo for physically being able to excel at sculpturing human forms in marble blocks more than his peers, or Picasso, for his foresight into abstraction and being able to flip the entire perception of "art" on its head? Another thing that has to be calculated into the equation is the assist by those people surrounding our accredited geniuses, be it their parents, some teacher who appreciated their student more than most, or somebody who just saw something others didn't.
Picasso had his parents and hung around Brach. Bach was practically born into his position, as was Frank Lloyd Wright, and as that article stated, Wayne Gretzky, they pretty much knew what they wanted to focus on, they had some tie to their vocations from the very start.
So what's up with the rest of us? Is "genius" a relative word itself? I was hoping it wasn't, I sorta like the elite exclusive nature of the title, if there's any one word that will make you feel like you're teetering on top of the world's largest pedestal, that's it.
Are the guys in Dream Theater geniuses? Or are they a group of musicians who love what they do and do what it takes to excel, whatever that may be? Did I just define genius? How high is up? Where does up get his shit? How much does up's shit cost?
I'm overklempt! Talk amongst yourselves, I'll give you a topic: Alternative music is neither alternative or music, discuss!

I downloaded this a while ago as well, it's the Pulse version of "Comfortably Numb". I don't know why the hell someone would call it DT. I haven't heard of DT covering "Comfortably Numb", but I'd LOVE to hear em' do it!
As for "Vanishing Cream", there is a band called The Hunger that has a song called "Vanishing Cream", do you remember what any of the words were? The verse goes something like:
"Who fills the sky, and who answers, when I cry..."
lots of keyboards and a walking bassline during the verse, then a kick ass chorus
"I feel so good today It's hard to stay away A hunter and his prey Today will be the day
Is this real, is it you Are you what I see Is it him, am I good Or just vanishing cream..."
That's from memory, and I haven't heard the song in about a year, so it could be wrong...good tune though...

I remember that. Yeesh, talk about impractical. KITT would've gone SOOO much faster had he remained aerodynamic.
I never understood why Michael always insist on driving on when he had to drive KITT on long road trips. Had it been me, I would've told KITT to drive himself while I curled up in the backseat and took a nap.
And what a car!! Had a TV, a VCR, a smoke screen, an oil slick, a thing that made it drive on two wheels, turbo boost, passive laser restraint (whaaa?), and some other cool shee-yit. KITT could outrun cops ya know. I'd probably use that ability fairly often.

Are the Hunger Houston natives? I only ask b/c they seem to spend a lot of time here. Hm.
