    We found that out when we got there. Luckily we got to West Palm at
    about 3 PM and had lots of time to kill. The Pompano Beach Amphitheater
    is actually a very nice place (actually in Pompano Beach, believe it or
    not), very "new" looking, but with a horrible policy of allowing
    SRO-type crowding in front of the stage, thereby blocking the view of
    those in the first couple of rows of actual seats. General admission and
    reserved seating do not mix well without separation of the two factions.

    To answer your other question: No, I didn't personally tape the
    near-Miami show. It wasn't as good as the HoB show at Disneyworld the
    night before, although the Dregs were a bit better, if that's possible
    (it was their last night on the tour, and they were pumped, and Steve
    Morse looked at me).

    I hope that helped you - take care,

    i was checking out old Rolling Stone reviews online, and they had a line
    about Rush, saying, "Immature bands imitate, mature bands steal," basically
    saying that once you get to a certain point, you don't have to pussyfoot
    around approximating another band's riffs, you can just go ahead and grab,
    and get away with it....i think that sentiment kinda applies here...

    I noticed after downloading some more Tool songs that in the song "Jimmy"
    from the same album, the lyrics go "you are the voice that's been calling me
    back hoooooooooomeeeeee.....". I suppose I'm not alone in recognizing this?
    :) Could be a coincidence of course...

    Vai does this on "Jiboom," from Ultra Zone. He says that he's "tipping
    his hat" to SRV, but to me it sounds like he's just jazzing up "Scuttle
    Buttin'"

    The Offspring (not that I care for their music) put on kind of an
    interesting show, too. They dressed up a bunch of manequins like the
    Backstreet Boys, rolled them out on the stage, started playing
    "Backstreets' Back" and proceeded to beat the crap out of the manequins.

    When I first heard the opening riff of this I thought they
    were going to do a cover of Alice in Chain's Would.

    Ive noticed quite a few bands doing this lately, putting drum machines
    in for the ballads (which inevitably build up to a heavy climax with real drums).

    I remember when the disc came out someone posted saying they had asked
    Mike about this and he didn't seem to know about it. Does anyone remember?

    Hrmm that opening riff bugs me. Its just too much of a rip off. Its one things
    to notice little obscure bits, such as the Rush stuff, but a main riff like that should
    be totally original IMHO. That bit and the ultra-Floydish parts of Spriit Carries
    On really get to me. I do like the song, and I like all the references in the LTE
    stuff like the 'Run with the devil on spanish highway' riff in Acid Rain.

    Yeah, they premiered this one on the mini-tour before FII. I didn't even recognize what it was supposed to be before James started singing the chorus. I saw all these other people singing along -- on the first night of the tour in Poughkeepsie -- and I remember thinking, "How has everyone here but me heard this?!" :) I thought it was way cool that that riff found its way into New Millennium.

    Someone tell me again what Tool song Home reminds everyone of? I think I need to start buying some of their stuff.

    On this topic, is it just me, or has DT gradually done a worse and worse job of masking their influences from album to album? I thought that the Floyd and Mallternica influences stood out on FII, but my goodness! It's so overt on SFAM. (Not that this is a bad thing, per se, just far more noticeable to me now.)

    I second that one. He died during my first week away at college. I remember getting home from class or something, turning on 102.7 WNEW (when they were still good), hearing the news, and just sort of walking around campus in a daze the rest of the day. He was just starting to really tap his potential at that point, too.

    I dunno. The playing on this one is phenomenal, but I have had a hard time getting into the songs. They seem rather jumpy to me, with a whole lot of "because we can" sections. I understand that a lot of people are into that thing, but I'd rather hear well-written songs than well-written solos that were forced to fit.

    Reminds me of the Altura debate from years back. (What ever happened to them, anyway?)

    Agreed. Neal Morse just knows how to write a good song, whether it's 5 minutes long or 25 minutes. Spock's has that magical combination of extreme musicianship, wonderful songwriting, analog synths, and the great hook with huge harmonies. One of the best bands to come out in the 90s, if not the best.

    With a ten foot cymbal, I'd be more worried about the *drummer* receiving damage than the cymbal!

And yes, they sound VERY MUCH like DT, but

    My problems with SG are just about the opposite of yours. I actually like Baker's voice. But after a while, their songs all started to sound the same to me. With a couple of exceptions (Alaska comes to mind), it seems like they wrote one song and changed the lyrics twenty times. Maybe I'm being overly harsh on them, and maybe I just don't like the production of their stuff (which *does* all sound the same), but I just can't sit and listen to a whole SG album at once. I would really like to hear them branch out and try writing based on more, or at least different, influences. And record with a different producer.

    Yeah..but i couldnt help but notice how much NEGATIVE energy they were pumping the crowd with.. same with Limp Bizkit. Now i know agressive metal usually makes you angry and hyper, but i think that as an artist, you should know when and how to work up your crowd like that. If you've seen the reports on the shit that went down on woodstock, most of the crazy, destructive shit started to happen during and after korns set..and when limp bizkit played break stuff (pure genious huh?)

    I know its normal to react to music, but i think that to be onstage while shit is going down and knowingly pump the crowd in that way..is just irresponsible. Just like when fires started breaking out what did the RHCP do? Cover Jimi Hendrix's fire!! I dont know..that kind of thing makes me cringe..

    well "fire" was a part of their set, or they had already planned on playing it at woodstock. they thought about not doing it, but they said what the hell.

    Oh gimme a break will ya? Do you know how young they are? I didn't say they did very good, they DID mistakes, at times singing out of key, but ., I heard there were reasons for this. Yesterday there was an interview with the Macedonian organizor, and he was so pissed off to everybody there. He said nothing went ok like it was suppose to, like bad monitors, weird sound settings of the playback song. Some heavy politics involved in all the event.

    Again. I don't say we should've won, but the studio version of our song was miles better than many others.

    > (I thought Croatia and Turkey rocked hard,

    Bah, Croatia, expect the cute dude, the song was not THAT special.

    > not to mention our own swedish metal master Roger Pontare :))

    He was the bearded Indian-like one all dressed up right? Yeah, he was kinda cool, but the song lacked something little, otherwise it was a decent song. Anyway the song was also better than the rest crap. My conscious would be much calmer if he won and not those brothers.

    Just listen the very first few seconds when the brothers singing begins in the song!!! I dunno if it's out of key or what, but I just know something is TERRIBLY WRONG there.

    Eurovision has certainly become an event that should be despised and ignored in future. In this situation it should just stop existing.

    Rob - dunno if you know the background of CiA9ITG, but it was performed during the Fix for 96 shows, the 97 European tour and I believe the South American shos in Sept 97. Derek had been tinkering around with some sounds and one of the guys recommended using it as a ne intro for CiaW. Long story short, they ened up redoing the whole song that way. Later on, as they continued to write material for what would become FII, they took several pieces of CiA9ITG and created NM from it.

    Funny enough DT has been playing parts of CiA9ITG, intermingled with NM at the end of a medley they started playing in Europe on the M2000 tour (sometimes referred to as the Faliing Awake Into Liquid Seasons medley).

    Brian Hansen (great last name!!) recommended: > Pain of Salvation - Entropia (Enough said.)

    Vocally on Entropia, there are parts of Daniel's vocals that remind me of Mike Patton (FNM) in a major way, but most of it is different. He does sound similar to some other vocalists as well, but i can't put my finger on them. They have quickly made it into my top 5 of favorite bands, after only having their CDs for a week. Fellow jammers were just talking about and recommending them a little while ago, which is why I picked their CDs up (thanx to all for putting me onto such an awesome band), so now I in turn agree - PoS is a must have in your CD collection!

    > Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy > (Neo-classical prog metal. Great vocals, great > composition, shredding guitar.)

    An easy way to describe Sy X is Dio w/ a less repetative, heavier Yngwie Malmsteen. Russell Allen's vocals are similar to Dio's, but do have some differences. If you enjoy Dio's vocals, you'll like Sy X.

    > I bet Mike didn't say "Fuckin' A, Manchester!" or "Fuckin' A, London!" in > Japan. :-P

    Ooh! My first post after about 6 years of lurking...

    On the night I saw them in Tokyo (5/16), Mike did say at the end of the show, "ARI-FUCKING-GATO!"

    That night there they also had a bit of a pseudo-Nightmare Cinema thing going. While JP was finishing off with the solo bit at the end of Take the Time, James took over on drums, and Mike grabbed JM's bass. JM just stood there, while Jordan stood by his keyboard.

    By the way, the setlist went something like this (I may have the order mixed up):

    M2 in its entirety Puppies on Acid Crimson Sunrise New Millenium intertwined with Caught in Alice's Nine Inch Tool Garden Erotomania Something from LTE 1 (forgot which) Something from LTE 2 (forgot which) Pull Me Under medley ending with TTT

    Think that's about it. Overall, an incredible show. Quite an experience going to a concert in Japan. No moshing, lots of clap-alongs.

    BUT, if you hear most of the modern guitar players (yngwie, vai, howe (greg), becker.) play the blues, it sounds like an attempt to play the blues. It=B4s some kind of metalized blues. SRV introduced a far more agressive way to play the blues, but it still sounded kind of pure, start= ing with the tone and all that. These shredders or whatever just take the sca= le and the flatted fifth (i=B4m not sure =B4bout this one though....) or wha= tever, and "play the blues" strutting out boring clich=E9s. And sounding like a = metal guy trying very hard to play the blues, but hardly succeeding. Petrucci i= s in this group i think. I find this kind of playing extremely boring. I do= n=B4t like blues that much either, but i have heard enough of it to recognize r= eal blues or wannabe blues. Petrucci a trained jazz guy? I mean, i know berklee is a recognized jazz school that also has other departments, but i can=B4t envision JP swingin= =B4 through werid chord changes. Maybe that=B4s what he and jordan will play on that NY concert. Mauricio
