    You have a better suggestion for a keyboard solo in a metal song? Or would
    you rather not have a keyboard solo in a metal song - which brings us back
    to my original point, that Rudess may as well have walked off stage. He's a
    great musician and that's a waste of talent... not to say that squealy lead
    sounds make Metallica songs sound better or anything. It's more about note
    choice anyway, and he'll outdo Hammett with one hand and Hetfield
    with the other in that department.

    Just went to have a look at Jordan's site, but apparently it's been
    taken over by Rob Halford. Eek!

    Is it just me or is the first song by Penumbrae a jumble of DT riffs and a
    few fun loving other riffs of popular songs and such. Cool song, but I don't
    think they followed the contest thingy :)

    Submit your arse then... I wanna hear it!
    Seriously though... the contest only asked to reproduce the song. Those with
    the patience to have done it may not have made something with great sound
    quality (I know all too well the pains of recording without lots of money to
    invest in equipment) should be commended for their efforts.
    I for one think the song has a good overall sound. Instruments don't sound
    that great, though. Above all, they tried. I just checked out the second
    song, pretty cool too. Interesting guitar sound for some of the solos, or
    maybe it's a keyboard...

    The beginning of Met2k's Sound of Chaos reminds me of ACoS a bit... whoa,
    then it becomes this riff I'd have to sit there and learn for hours :P

    Of course Rudess is a great musician, I just don't think his style of
    soloing fits so well with "classic metal". When I say his style, I mean both
    a combination of his usual lead sound and the actual notes he decides to
    play. I'm sure keyboard solos could work well in classic metal songs, but I
    don't think Jordan's keyboard solos work well in them.

    I think his solos work in DT's metal, don't get me wrong. And I'm not saying
    that DT shouldn't DTify any classic metal they're playing... but Jordan's
    solos just never seemed to click on the boots of MoP I heard. We'll see if
    things are different on the new album. If he is truly playing with with this
    big distorted sound, it could well fit much better..

    If it is a good song, even a radio edit cannot hide that. Witness Pull Me
    Under, Take The Time, Blind Faith, Misunderstood and Solitary Shell. All of
    those still are obviously great songs even when edited and only get better
    with more of them. As for Lie and the great ending, that's called the
    Mirror Part 2. If they had edited out the Lie part, the Mirror would have
    been amazing alone. At the moment, As I Am holds up nicely to Lie...that's
    all I have. The argument that they edited out the cool stuff doesn't fly.
    "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." :)

    I hope the rest of the album is more interesting, I am sure it will be
    actually...

    remember these guys.=A0 When I saw them I was impressed.=A0 This CD is a lit
    tle
    more polished than the others and there is a certain same-ness to the sound
    of
    the songs but I like it.=A0 They cover Rush's "Distant Early Warning" and it
     is
    sooo cool to hear Rush songs without Geddy's singing although this cover is
    blood-faithful to the original.=A0

    4)=A0 Symmetry "Anguish".=A0 Symmetry was also a hot relatively unknown band
     from
    Prog Power #1, so I bought their new CD "Anguish".=A0 Uh oh.=A0 Silly me or
    maybe
    the beers doing the buying.=A0 This is really the band Anguish with their ne
    w
    CD "Symmetry".=A0 Oh jesus .....=A0 Anyhow, what a cool CD !!!!=A0 In the sa
    me vein
    as Prog or Power (ooops, dont want to start another 20 digests with THAT
    ....).=A0 One dead song, I forget which, but if you like Prog or Power - I
    say get it
    !!=A0

    5)=A0 As with every happy story, there can be a dark side as well.=A0 I did
    not
    care for the Power of Omens CD "Rooms".=A0 Just too technical for me.=A0 Had
     lunch
    with David and he is a cool person but this is just a little too much for me
    =A0
    Maybe I am Beavus or Butthead in disguise.=A0 And I know, with a little
    King-Tut beer gut and all my hair cut off, blah, blah, blah ...

    6)=A0 Another slow horse was the CD "Echos" from Lacrimosa.=A0 A lesser pers
    on
    than Charlie of the UK would now chirp in and say that he told me so.=A0 Thi
    s is
    way out there.=A0 German vocals (I think), a lot of symphonic passages and i
    ndeed
    it is complex.=A0 This would probably be a good dessert island CD since it i
    s
    different and would provoke thought but I live on the mainland.=A0

    7)=A0 Angra Live DVD "Rebirth World Tour".=A0 Well, after seeing Angra too m
    any
    times with Andre, there was simply no way that this poor new singer could ma
    tch
    him.=A0 I took the risk out of curiosity but no-dice.=A0 It is particularly
    painful to hear him attempt "Make Believe".=A0 For me, some things from the
    past
    should stay on the shelf.=A0 High-quality video though.=A0

    In summary, some great new music.=A0 I will sell either CD (#5 or #6) for US
    $10
    postpaid and the Angra DVD for US$12 postpaid.=A0 Or the whole package for
    US$25 postpaid.=A0 First Class, not Priority.=A0

    Cheers,
    Mark-san

      Seeing the Flaming Lips "Soft Bulletin" album on there started to piss
    me off, but then I remembered that it's all in good fun. 12 was my
    final count....LOL Bitches Brew, guilty as charged, what's my sentence?

      On another topic, do you, Steve or any of the other folks on this list
    know where is the best source for miniaturized LP releases? The
    Japanese Dark Side of the Moon was just a hair over $10 when I picked it
    up in Taiwan, but most prices I've seen over here in the US are robbery,
    in the $30-$50 range.

      Thanks in advance,

      Dennis

    It supposedly will interfere with cell phone communications as well. We
    love to kid this co-worker that constantly is in contact with his wife at
    home throughout the day, everyday, on their cell phones. Told him that
    he's just out of luck today.. guess ya had to be here.. high humor
    for sure.

    Anyone living on Earth should be a little cautious today with electronic
    equipment as rumor has it a quite large solar flare is gonna be busting its
    way towards us today (something like noon EST). I for one will be signing
    off until tonight when I'm sure civilization isn't destroyed. :)
