Been on the 'jam since #32 (!!!!!!!!!) Alas, message boards seemed to overtake email lists years ago, but I still like both formats, and, frankly, email is more convenient. Go 'jam!
So. I read a review of I&W in Guitar World, and based on the description, I *knew* it was DT when I first heard PMU on the radio (this was back in the day when Indianapolis had a metal station, which led to DT playing their legendary I&W show here). Then the video hit MTV like a week later and they seemed to be everywhere. My love of DT is older than my kids, and I can't get over how old *they* are...
Rush and DT are really the two musical pillars of my adolescent/adult life...

Happy Holidays everybody.
I got into DT around 91-ish when my brother and his guitar buddy were playing
along to Petrucci on WDADU. Fun stuff. But.....when I heard Images and
Words, I was sold forever!!!!!!!
Nice to see they're still around and doin' their thing!!!!!

Happy Holidays! Enjoy "A TIME FOR CHRISTMAS" - an altogether different kinda
holiday tune!

OK, I'll ring in here.
I was in college. It was 1995, spring to be exact. I worked for my college
radio station and the guys on weekends did a metal show. I heard some stuff
from awake but never really paid much attention. I was a huge Rush head
back then and a lot of the stuff they played form awake, probably caught in
a web, sounded too heavy for me at the time. Then, I heard, while I was out
with a friend, a drum solo that sounded like Neil Peart of Rush, that I
hadn't heard before, so we kept it on, but I quickly learned, it was more
insane than Peart, more intense. At the end of the solo, they whipped back
into what I now know was Ytsejam and I was speechless. I had no idea what
this was, but had to have it. I had my friend pull over to a pay phone, and
I called the guys at the station and told them they had better tell me who
that was because I was going to go buy everything I could find. And when I
was told, I went out that day and bought wdadu, iw and awake and it was
over after that. I've been a major fan ever since. I didn't even know that
Kevin more was out of the band when acos was recorded, and thought iwas
kevin more on the CD. When I heard he had quit, I was like, "What is DT
going to do now, they'll never replace him." When I found out it was Derek
on acos, I was even more impressed, and it just ballooned from there.

Hi all, I'm mostly a lurker, but have been a faithful yjammer for many years. I've recorded a couple of holiday tunes and posted them at my website, and you are all welcome to listen and hopefully enjoy them. No heavy stuff in these, just nice quiet versions: www.arfnbear.com/music/silentnite.mp3 and www.arfnbear.com/music/FirstNoel.mp3 Also, feel free to check out the rest of the site. Not a lot to it yet, but it's a work in progress.
Sorry, I don't know any non-Christmas holiday songs, but I wish everybody Happy Holidays, no matter what you may or may not celebrate...
Paul

I heard "Pull Me Under" on 96Rock here in Atlanta and loved it. At around the same time I brought a rare Metallica import CD-single down to the radio station so a deejay friend could dub a copy onto broadcast cart (this was wayyy before CD burning, etc.) As part of the deal he offered me a few items from the pile of promotional CDs and such. I picked up a few mediocre CDs (hey, free's free) but I looked in vain for any DT. "Alan, you got that Dream Theater CD by chance?" "Dude! It rules, but I don't think we have any CDs left. Lemme see....hey, here's a cassette, though. It's yours." I played it in the car on the way home, and it was so good I had to pull off the road so I could hear it better. I bought the CD within a day or two...but I still have that cassette.
I'll always have a soft spot for I&W in my heart, and it's easily one of the five most influential CDs of the prog-metal genre, but due to its production iffiness, I prefer SFaM slightly, or several bootleg live recordings, since they sound more "organic" than I&W. Favorite song might still be "Learning to Live," although it varies by mood.
Merry Christmas/Happy Kwanzaa/Happy Hanukkah/Festive Solstice/Happy Natalia to everyone out there in YtseLand. :)
