I just wanted to say that I don't consider Caught in a
New Millenium to be remaking a song. I would consider
it a medley, although a very weird one. And
Metropolis Pt. 1 stayed exactly the same as before.
What they do when James talks is something they've
done quite a lot, even before Jordan joined DT. I
guess they haven't had a lot of time to rework some of
the old stuff; they've probably been very busy with
all the other songwriting.

There are still tickets left for Jordan's benefit concert this Monday in
Nyack!
We have heard from some Dream Theater fans that they want to come to the
show and help out the American Red Cross, but the price is too high for them
to afford. So, we have decided to instruct the box office to lower the
ticket price to $XX for anyone who says the code: "DTF." The box office
number is 845-358-6333.
It is going to be a real "unplugged" Jordan-type evening, with him playing a
Steinway concert grand, courtesy of Steinway Hall in NY.
Jordan says, "I look forward to meeting people after the show!"
Thank you to everyone who is helping out!
See ya there!

There would've been more people attending to the concert if it was on weekend :
( people have jobs,school etc..
I just hope someone will videotape the show, even Mike might be there taping
the show hehe.. I dont think he would miss such an event.

I was absolutely shocked to look at the Best Buy ad inside today's Detroit
Free Press, and see them picturing DT's "LSFNY", listing it as a "Hot group"
or something like that. Firstly, of course - I was just generally shocked
to see a DT album prominently featured in a Best Buy ad, and secondly
because of the recall of the disc! Weird Stuff

I saw the place card at a Best Buy calling them a Breakthrough Artist. As for seeing the add, I think they're adds are created a while before they are sent out so that would be the reason the CD is still in the add. I wouldn't be suprised if there was a "sorry" message in the actual store because of the add listing something they don't have
pat

Ok, so Weewie J Malmsteen is a little overweighted (he must weight twice what he weighted in his Live in Leningrad video, he's a fuckin' Jabba relative now!), and he has fewer hair than before, but i still wanted to see the swedish guitar master who made a profound impression on me when i first heard him in 1994. The fact that Derek Sherinian is in his band made the concert more appealing. I wanted to hunt his autograph too, so i brought my FII tourbook with me, just in case i had some luck. So Yngwie started wanking away as usual, and there was no stopping. I'm very grateful to see one of his shows, because there are probably many more people who like him more than me and haven't gotten a chance of seeing him. But, he plays more with the intrument than actually playing the damn thing! Spinning it around his neck, playing it with his teeth, butt, palm hands......he made an awful lot of noise. Then, there is his annoying delay tricks he has been doing like, forever. He "shredded" his songs into pieces indeed. The songs i knew, were barely recognizable, as he LOVES to improvise....or he just doesn't rehearse, or just winged the songs in the studio and never bothered learning them. Of course, with songs like Blak Star, you get the theme intact (not THAT intact) but the rest is improvisation on the key of the song. Again, full of noises because his guitar spinnings, etc. More show and less musicianship. You dont remember... was about the only song that was played pretty good, but still..... Derek was having lots of troubles with his gear apparently, 'cause he was repeatedly shouting at the roadie and not having a very good time. His tradeoffs with Pengwie were not that good, and, as much as i like his keyboard sounds, they did not go very well with that music. During his keyboard solo he included the whole intro of LitS. Nothing wrong with that i say...i enjoyed it. Then, after the show, he came out for a little time with the fans, and even though i wasn't in front of them all, the moment he saw the FII tourbook, he took it. He showed it to a girl (he looked like a manager or something like that), then signed it and gave it back to me. I saw him with DT in 1998, and when he saw the fans outside, he turned his back on us, unlike Portnoy and Labrie, who actually got off the bus after they had already departed to sign and take photos. Well, i got Derek's autograph and was happy enough not to try to hunt his majesty Y. Johann M. the next morning.

I met Derek and the rest of Planet X before before their show in Sydney in April, during an in store appearance. He was very friendly indeed, forthcoming in putting his hand out for me to shake and seemed very humbled by the aussie fans appreciation of him coming out to play for us.
He wore jeans and black t-shirt, so maybe the clothes and lamps was just all an image think he went through when he was with DT.
This totally changed my opinion of him, which was based soley on what I've read about him here and on elsewhere on the net.
Kurt I still haven't put the PX Sydney show on CDR that I recorded on MD....
