Hi, Just a thought, but if you use the 'official' burning heart logo or Majesty logo on any T-shirt design, will there be potential copyright or trademark infringement problems...?ANybody doing Law courses out there? My vote for the quote: 'you can find all you need in your mind, if you take the time'. Will the T-shirt (if the plans work out) be available to those of us outside the US, e.g. England?

DT fans, Some one noticed the number on the lower part of the JPG I posted. The number is D 101192. Unfortunately there is not an interesting story behind it. I looked at my disc and found that D 101192 is the license number under which BMG manufactured this disc. So that is the story, I don't know why they put the number on the heart. later, -- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Nathan I Bradley 1320 Stadium Dr. G106 Duluth, MN 55812-2405 email_address_removed 726-7720 ============================================================================ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 1994 12:45:43 -0500 (EST) From: Michael Burstin Subject: Dream Theater response Hello all. After writing to the band about a year ago, I finally got a response back from them. It is a form letter, of course, but there is some cool info. Here is a copy of the letter: Thanks for your letter inquiring about Dream Theater. We appologize for any delay in responding to your letter, but the number of fans seeking information has been overwhelming. It will take years to answer each letter personally, but I have put this letter together to cover most of the questions I've come across. But first, allow me to give you a brief update on the band: Dream Theater completed their world tour on November 28th and are currently writing new material. A new studio album will be recorded in the spring, yet it's too early to give any details. You might have noticed a few new tracks were included in their live set, such as 'To Live Forever', the lovely instrumental 'Eve' and the 20 minute epic 'A Change Of Seasons', but it's not certain these tracks will make it on the next album. It should be ready for summer release and will of course be followed by a world tour. In the meantime, check your video shops for "Images And Words - Live In Tokyo" -- the band's new 90 minute video featurning live footage from Japan, interviews and the clips for 'Pull Me Under', 'Take The Time', and 'Another Day'. And you can still pick up their live EP, "Live At The Marquee", which I'm happy to report passed gold status in Japan and is closing in on platinum! Although it was released in Japan and Europe, American fans should have no trouble finding it at an import shop. We have recieved countless inquires from fans trying to purchase the band's first album "When Dream And Day Unite". Unfortunatly, it is no longer made in America, so you might want to check an import shop. I suggest picking up a copy of GOLDMINE MAGAZINE, a publication that lists hundreds of dealers that specialize in rare CDs from around the world. Another popular question os if there's any sheet music of Dream Theater's music available and I'm happy to report that a songbook for "Images And Words" is currently in the works. Unlike most sheet music which is another musician's interpretation of what the score should be, this book will follow exactly what is on the album as John Petrucci us painstakenly transcribing each song note for note. We hope to have it for sale through the fan club when it becomes available. Guitar enthusiasts should also take note that John has a regular column in GUITAR WORLD, which I understand is doing quite well. Dream Theater merchandise is still available in limited quanities, you will find an order form on the back with details for each item. Last and best of all, a Dream Theater Fan Club has just been established to keep people like you up to date with all of the band's activities. Upon membership, you will recieve: A Fan Club biography featuring the complete history of the band as well as personal profiles on James, John, Mike, Kevin, and John, one year subscription to "Images And Words" -- the fan club newsletter (issued quarterly), an autographed band photograph, laminated membership card (for charter members only) and access to Dream Theater merchandise and events, only available to fan club members. Membership is only $16 for the United States and Canada, $22 for the rest of the world. I hope that I've covered everything! If I didn't answer your questions and you are in need of a personal reply, feel free to write back but please include a self-addressed stamped envelope or an international reply coupon. I can't promise a band member will write you back, but I'll be happy to answer any questions the best I can. On behalf of the band, thanks for your letter and kind words of support. We hope to hear from you again soon. Cheers! Gail for the DREAM THEATER FAN CLUB Another thing is that there is an order form on the back for t-shirts and a few other things. They will accept copies. If you would like a copy, please mail me. I will be happy to make a copy if you send me a self-addressed stamped envelope, and a dime for a copy. (I can't make copies for everyone for free, sorry). Anyway, that's about it for now. Some cool info in the letter. Cool to see that LaTM is doing well in Japan, and I know that alot of you have been looking for sheet music. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | I was told there's a miricle for each day that I try | | I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died | | I was told there'd be no one to call on when I feel alone and afraid | | I was told if you dream of the next world | | You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire | | Dream Theater Metropolis (part 1) Images and Words | | Michael Burstin Brandeis University | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Let's Go Pens Let's Go Pens Lets Go Pens Let's Go Pens | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ For info on Dream Theater, some Steven Wright jokes, the master list of pickup lines, a revised history of the world, a few blond jokes: finger email_address_removed >mikeb.finger.file ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 94 13:06:37 -0500 From: Rossy the Psychopath Subject: Re: shirts In message you write: >personally i love black shirts... and that's all i ever buy >(white seem to turn to get "dirty" white) >but i'll get whatever ones are available. >the ash one could be interesting...reminds me of the "ashes in your >hands.." quote from wait for sleep....

(actually, i kinda like that second idea) then, have one of the phrases mentioned (i like "you can find all you need in your mind", or maybe some other phrase of their's that can be construed as net-ish) above the graphic, and have the phrase "Dream Theater Internet Digest" (or something to that effect) with the address displayed underneath it (all in a prominent font and size). and lastly, as far as the transfer to the shirt, i would tend to stay away from the heat transfer ones (the standard concert-t manner with the crusty paint that slowly fades and flakes off after a while, and gives the t-shirt itself a very stiff and slightly uncomfortable feel). perhaps, limit it to a three or four color ink design which should keep the cost down; anyone familiar with t-shirting know how difficult or expensive it would be? i think this would be the way to go, to insure a long-lasting and a bit more professional look. as far as cost, i wouldn't mind paying 25 bucks for a t-shirt composed as above. that seems to be the going rate for concert-t's (or other designer t's, such as those cool california graphics ones with the snakes, skeletons, dragons and the like). anyone on the list have any contacts in the t business? i think we could pull off a really cool t-shirt here with the enthusiasm and ideas floating around. :) l8r! -brian ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 1994 13:23:26 -0600 (CST) From: email_address_removed Subject: Last I&W image posted Fellow DT Fans, I just posted the last JPG from I&W at ftp.uwp.edu, I was unable to place it at your site Brent, thanks anyway.

I just wanted to say thanks to whoever uploaded the pictures. My only question is what was the source for the flaming heart... was it the CD cover. The reason that I am asking is that I zoomed in on it, and noticed something at the bottom of the heart, so I lightned it up by 20%, and I see this: D 101192 Anyone know what this means... is it something about release date, or CD number, or is it something else. Just wondering. >> It's probably the date that it was finalized.... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 94 18:17:53 MST From: Michael Bahr Subject: Re: DoE?

However dont let the traditional image of a bootleg dissuade you: TDOE is (in many of our opinions) of higher quality than Live at the Marquee. It contains a ton of rarities and such that aren't on the albums, and features James singing some of Charlie's old DT songs. Here's whats on it: Metropolis - A Fortune In Lies - Under A Glass Moon - Surrounded - The Ytse Jam - Drum Solo - (To Live) Forever - Take The Time - Eve - Pull Me Under - Another Day - Another Hand - The Killing Hand - A Change of Seasons - Wait For Sleep - Learning to Live Mike/email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 1994 20:27:31 EST From: email_address_removed.ca Subject: I need a little assistance here on ordering a DT video from NY... I called Tower REcords in NY, looking for the Live in Tokyo vid that everyone recommend that I get. The guy there said that he had one called Music in Progress by DT, and that it was probably the same thing. I had heard somewhere that Live in Tokyo might have an alternate name, so I agreed. I'm just about to order this Music in Progress, the catalogue number is: ATLANTIC 50537 Is this the number for Live in Tokyo also, or are we talking about 2 different videos here?? thanx to anyone who can help. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 1994 17:44:00 -0800 (PST) From: Jason Hough Subject: Re: HEY!!!!!
