Message-ID: I heard that one of those guitar mags, I think its Guitar for the Practising Musician, is having a new compilation album out and Dream Theater is supposed to be on it. Is it my imagination or did someone say that Bombay Vindaloo was gonna be on it? Is it the same live version that is on LatM? Please let me know what you know!! BTW - where would I look for this in a record store? I guess it would be in the "compilations" section or somthing... ************************************************************************** * Jason Hartman "I am the Killing Hand!" email_address_removed * * * * You're fighting the weight of the world, * * and no one can save you this time. * * Close your eyes - you can find all you need in your mind. * * * * "Take the Time" - Dream Theater * ************************************************************************** ------------------------------ Topic No. 2 Date: Thu, 4 Aug 1994 01:59:16 -0400 (EDT) From: Garrett M Sanborne To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Rush Montage Tape Complete!!! Message-ID: Wow! Sounds awesome! I have one question - the only thing you didn't mention in that VERY complete post was who to make the check out to, you or "Feel The Rush! Music" :) I assume you, but just to confirm? G-Man *-------------------------------------------------------------------------* | Garrett M.

I don't give a damn how well Petrucci improvises, Dream Theater (and most prog.) is the total antithesis of improv. music. How many great improvisers can pen tunes like UaGM, TKH and "A Change of Seasons?" Very few, most likely. The important part is that when he's playing his own stuff (Comfortably Numb? Who cares? David Gilmour could inspire a whole other discussion on repetitive and tasteless lick playing) he kicks ass while doing it. His doubled solo with KM in TKH is nothing short of superb, as is the case with most everything he plays. Improv. does not the player make.

For starters, I hope the original poster doesn't get flamed. He's just posting an opinion, the way he sees things. He's not trying to start shit, so don't start shit with him, please (to anyone who was thinking of doing so). Anyway, I am shocked. Petrucci was probably my favorite guitarist just because I thought he was so well rounded - tasteful, technically amazing, innovative, a good imrovisor, etc. He is still a god, of course, but it is a little dissappointing to find that he is not so well rounded as I thought. At the same time, it makes me feel slightly better because I am a guitarist who sucks at improvising and it bgives me some comfort to know that even the Overlord of the Six String Universe has trouble in that area. -- /\ Rich Toscano / \ email_address_removed / \ \ -Guitarist of little or no note / ___\ \ -Evolver of supra-genius neural net creatures / / _____\ /_/________\ "Ook" - Safe Chib ------------------------------ Topic No. 6 Date: Fri, 5 Aug 1994 12:29:45 -0500 (EDT) From: Michael Burstin To: email_address_removed (Ytsejam SERVER) Subject: Awake Lyrics at FTP site!!!
