Hopefully this one will. In response to the tab please post any and all DT tab that you have. It would be greatly appreciated. I rarely have time to transcribe music as complicated as DT any more Thanks Tom Menegatos ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Mar 1994 09:59:53 -0400 (EDT) From: JUST TAKE MY HEART WHEN YOU GO Subject: Re: Spreading the disease. I agree. My cover band plays DT Fates warning and Queensryche in in addition to some of the other college favorites (like Pearl Jam, candlebox, Tool, etc.) And to a degree it has an effect on the people who watch us. I feel that we have opened the doors, in regards to FW and DT, to some people. As for Fates Warning I have heard that after Parallels they broke up I also heard that some time after the break-up they decided to get back together They are a great band I have all of their albums from the time of their old singer. (the blonde haired guy, i forgot his name now.) They are great, I saw 'em at the Limelight here in NYC one night and they blew me away live. They were flawless. Being a guitarist and songwriter myself I find it disheartening to see bands with this much musical prowess and creativity be cast aside because of poor record sales. See ya Tom Menegatos ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Mar 1994 14:57:49 -0500 From: Martin A Hennemann Subject: DT Boots I really really want some DT Boots. ALl I have is WDADU, I&W and LatM. Boring! (well, not BORING, but you get the point :) I want something original, something you can't just go and pick up at the local music shop :) (although I suppose WDADU and LatM qualify for that too --- you g et the point though :) So any DT (or especially Majesty would be awesome!) boots would be great! I have 3 Queensryche boots that I just picked up today that I could offer. (plus lots of my suitemates have some boots: U2, old Pink Floyd, some Rush boots, stuff like that) The ones I have from QR are "Queensryche and Roll" (in Rolling Stone Rock Club 12/6/90 -- not sure where that is, and I havn't listened to it yet). "Queensryche Operation" (in Edenhal, Amsterdam Holland on 11/29/90 -- listening to it now, it's pretty good :) and "QUeensryche Disease is Rampant" (in Buffalo, NY March of '89 -- listened to it and it's good too :) So please scould someone mail me (or post here), cos I really want some DT/Majesty boots! Thanks much!!

So if it did, sorry :) Anyway, I just picked up 3 Queensryche boots yesterday, and was wondering if anyone would like to swap them for some DT/Majesty (I'd LOVE to hear some Majesty stuff!) boots/demos etc. All I have from DT is I&W, WDADU and LatM, so any boots anyone has would be great! Ok, the 3 QR boots I have are "Operation", "Queensrych and Roll" and "Disease is Rampant". Disease is Rampant is from Buffalo, NY in March of '89. It's pretty good, not the best, but decent. "Operation" is from Edenhal, Amsterdam, Holland from 11/29/90 and is GREAT. The first 10 seconds of each side is a little fuzzy, but you don't miss anything, and the rest of the tape is great. "Queensryche a nd Roll" is from the Rolling Stone Rock Club on 12/6/90 (it's in Italy, cos you can hear one of the band membors say that they're glad to be in Italy). It's got some good songs, but the quality isn't as god as "Operation". It's still pretty good, although my least fave of the 3. So if anyone is interested in swapping, please mail me! :) I can also get some Rush boots (Russian Roullette, along with some others I think), some U2 boots, old Pink Floyd, some Ozzy, and probably some others. Just lemme know, and I'll be willing to swap! :) Chris email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Mar 1994 20:09:25 -0500 (EST) From: "TIMOTHY LODGE, STUDENT GOVERNMENT PRESIDENT, CCSU" Subject: Re: bootlegs Ya know the scam...

These are various messages taken from their message boards, which I guess closely resembles Usenet Newsboards. (I skipped some small conversations over bootlegs... mostly people looking for DoE) Here is what they had to say: >Attention musicians and/or people who love progressive metal. A new >progressive metal band called Dream Theater now exists. In my mind, this >is the greatest band in the world right now. Not only does Dream Theater >write the most complex and difficult music I have ever seen, but each member >of Dream Theater is a master at his instrument. The group consists of: >James LaBrie, who is one of the most amazing vocalists in the buisness, >John Petrucci, who people have called "The guitar god of the 90's", John >Myung, who can play bass like noone I've heard, Kevin Moore, whose >keyboard playing is unmatched, and Mike Portnoy who is undoubtedly the >greatest drummer in the world. Check out the groups release "Images >and Words". And if you get a chance, go see Dream Theater in person. >They're progressive metal at it's finest! [I think that this pretty much wraps up my feelings... maybe Peart is better than Portnoy, but other than that, agree 100%] >I agree! Dream Theater is one of the best bands I've heard. I HIGHLY >recommend anyone who likes progressive rock to get Images and Words by >Dream Theater. The only downside to getting Images and Words is that >almost anything else you listen to will begin to sound like a bunch >of 12 year olds rehearsing in a garage somewhere...yes, they are that >good.... Also, If anyone is interested I know the e-mail adress of a >Dream Theatre mailing list on the Internet....

Is their first still in print? >Will success spoil Dream Theater? Will their next effort have a bunch >of three and four minute songs instead of the aural feasts on the last >album? [I replied to let them know that ACOS was scheduled for inclusion, as well as Forever and Eve] >I AGREE TOTALLY WITH JOSHG24430. IT IS REFRESHINg to find that in the >world of MTV, where three-chord bands get hyped to no end, talented, >creative musicians like Dream Theater exist. I had the fortune of >seeing them at Dallas City Limits last year and I was blown away. Now, >if we could only get them together with Rush and Queensryche to do a >tour... [what a tour combination that would make... I'd probably pay $150 for scalped tickets to see that show :) ] >I don't know when the next DT CD will be coming out but I hear they >started recording a few months ago... As for their first CD, it can >usually be found in the import section of music stores (but it's easy >for me to find this stuff, I live in LA....) Also look for their live >release titled Live at the Marquee...you should also be able to find >it as an import...they have a concert video out as well now... >Good luck finding them.... [I told everybodt to check out and import shops for these] >Anyone read this month's issue of Guitar for the Practicing Musician ? >They had their 1993 readers polls,some of the results went something >like this: >Most underrated guitarist: John Petrucci from Dream Theater >Best new guitarist: John Petrucci, Dream Theater >Most innovative songwriters: Dream Theater >Best new band: Dream Theater >Best new alblum: Images and Words, Dream Theater >Cool huh?

MIZELTHORP, thanks for the tip on >Mercyful Fate, I'll have to check it out. >Dream Theater is the first band to come out with some truely brilliant >progressive rock since Rush ended is prog faze after Moving Pictures >in 1981. Images and Words is the only album that can capture the >highlights of 1970's prog-rock. Also, Kevin Moore is the best keyboard >player on the face of this planet. Well, it looks like America (On-Line) agrees that DT is one of the best prog metal bands to come out in quite a long time. Now let's get the rest of the country listening... I am trying to figure out now whether I should wear my DT shirt from this summer or my NMS (National Midnight Star) t-shirt to the RUSH concert this Friday (assuming my NMS shirt comes before then). Should I advertise for DT, or NMS? Difficult question, I must say...:) Anyway, that's all for now... just though that you might be interested in AOL's opinions of DT... oh, also, there were absolutly NO bad comments about the guys there. (as I said, I included everything except the people's comments on looking for DoE and other bootlegs) -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | The way your heart sounds makes all the difference | | It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel | | The way your heart beats makes all the difference | | In learning to live | | Dream Theater Learning To Live Images and Words | | Michael Burstin Brandeis University | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Let's Go Pens Let's Go Pens Lets Go Pens Let's Go Pens | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ For info about Dream Theater, finger email_address_removed ------------------------------ End of Digest ************************
