Actually, it's not my own. It's adapted from a joke which appeared in the last GFTPM. :-) So here we go :-) A guitarist dies and goes to heaven. There he is greeted at the pearly gates by St. Peter, who says, "Oh you're going to love it here. We have Marshal stcks in all the practice rooms, every guitar you can imagine, and we have jam sessions every night until 4am. Everybody's here: Jimi, Stevie Ray, Duane... You'll love it!!!" The guitarist replies, "That sounds great. But tell me, is Petrucci here?" St. Peter hesitates, and reluctently answers, "No, I'm afraid Petrucci didn't make it up here. But you must be tired, so check into your practice room and I'll see you later." So the guitarist finds his way to the practice room and begins unpacking. From the next room he hears the familar neoclassical/progressive strains of a heavy metal shedder. As he listens more closely, he realizes that it sounds exactly like Petrucci. He walks back to St. Peter at the gate and says, "I thought you said Petrucci wasn't here?" St. Peter replies, "That's correct, he isn't." The guitarist shrugs and returns to his room. Again he hears the clean picked harmonic minor scales and the tight-voiced 3rds whizzing by at a 32nd note clip. He even hears the melody line to "Bombay Vindaloo." Bewildered, he goes back yet again to St. Peter. "Look, I know I heard Petrucci in the next room," he insists. "If that's not Petrucci in the next room, then who is it?" St. Peter glances around, making sure no one else is listening, then pulls the guitarist close and says under his breath, "The guy in the next room? That's God. He thinks he's John Petrucci." I got a kick out of it... hope you do to :-) Later all, Brian ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Nov 1994 08:43:47 -0500 (EST) From: email_address_removed (Steve Mansfield) To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: DT Review *SPOILER** Message-ID: > During the next song, some guy dressed as a ghost wanders accrossed the > stage.

Message-ID: Couldn't agree with Mark Scudder more than this. (Hope I spelled his name right. If not: Sorry !!) People have been butchering the original WDADU for along time, putting the blame (mostly) on Dominici. What the f... is wrong with his vocals ?? Compared to LaBrie I personally prefer Dominici, mainly because of LaBrie's girlie "screaming just to scream" voice. Another thing that has annoyed me for a long time is LaBrie's breathing into the mike. (Not Portnoy !!) The vocals on songs like surrounded and others on I&W have this panting on it, sounding like the words don't come out of his mouth, just the air. The weakest point of DT is LaBrie. And the guy posting something about looking like Fabio is absolutely right. He was, is , and always will be a poser. Well, enough said about LaBrie. The production of WDADU is not at all as great as on I&W and on Awake, but it's not bad. Like Mr. Scudder said, it is likely that this helps to put WDADU into the light it has. The bass sound Myung has on that album is the best he has put to tape. So, listen to it again. (And again, and again, and again etc.....) and let Awake have a little rest. WDADU deserve more credits than it has recieved from this list. My views could have something to do with that this was the first DT album I heard. Not so strange though, because in 1990 there wasn't much else avaliable from them. At least not in Europe.(No demos or such....) Hopefully more than two persons on this list have this album as their fave DT album !

Maybe in the past, but now he is quite impressive, especially his stage presence. I don't know about the I&W tour, but in B-more on this tour, he OWNED the stage, except during solos and instrumental sections of course. He has a very commanding stage presence. The "weakest point of DT" ???? I really don't think they have a weak point. And the breathing into the mic in Surrounded et al is a great way of making the vocals softer and more tender. Given, it is slightly overdone at times, but it creates a nice mood, and makes a strong contrast to the rest of the song.

(not quoted, but the feel of the atmospheric intro, with volume swells from JP and chimes by MP). Jam 2 is just Derek and JP, sort of a JP solo accompanied by DS. The new intro to the mirror kicks major ass, and is heavy on keys. (real metallic keyboard sound, it is awesome...) the sound man they have for this tour must really suck, because the sound was incredibly compressed, (no dynamics whatsoever) for those of you with recorders, this means average and peak are the same, no deviation. there was a noticable resonance in the low bass freqs, which distorted the bass drum beyond belief. also, the keys were almost nonexistent in the mix. sure could here the bass, though, that was a major plus. also, this night was the very best i have ever heard james sound, and i saw them like six times on the I&W tour... fates warning really impressed the crowd, it seemed even in oklahoma city (i didn't realize there were such shitty towns) there were quite a few fates warning fans... we met the band before and after the show, of course. mike portnoy did not ride in the dt tour bus, which i thought was strange. he came in on the fates tour bus, and hanged with them the whole time. the dt tour bus didn't get there til like 5:30, after everything was set up. we saw mike playing on a simple little drum kit, set up right inside the door. looked like a practice set. he came out, talked to us. he was cool. labrie came out before the show with i guess the tour manager (fat, pantera shirt) and really pissed me off. we asked him how the tour was going, and he said "well, perfect til we got here". i asked him why, and he said only 200 tix had been sold. seemed like all he was concerned with was how many tickets were sold, and how much money they would be getting. really annoyed me. he was a lot nicer after the show, i guess becuase there ended up being over 1000 people there, i am guessing. after the show, about 30 minutes after, the first guy came out.. we were hanging around the fence by the tour bus, and john p and his wife (guess it was his wife: blonde, hot) he came out, and was really funny and nice. he signed my vinyl copy of wdadu and then he was signing a guys shirt, and told him to flex. the guy said "flex what" and john p started making fun of him in a dana carvey voice, like "what a girly man, wants me to sign his girly heart shirt" it was pretty funny. next out was labrie. like i said, he was much nicer. he signed my promo copy of awake. next was myung. very quiet, and had two security guards around him. signed my vinyl wdadu. next out was derek s. he was really cool, and spent the most time with the crowd. portnoy took forever to come out. after signing my stuff, i talked to him a little bit, and he said the reason they dropped ...set the sun was lack of crowd response. said it seemed no one knew it. he said it might cmoe back some time. i asked if light fuse would get added, and he said he doubted it. i didn't ask him about the cd thing, i forgot. i asked him if he like ozric tentacles, since i just filmed them at a few shows in texas last month. his eyes absolutely lit up, and made it a point to tell me he just got some really nice, *live*, stuff of theirs. his emphasis on the live part. you could really tell he is way into bootlegs, and he wants to trade me for the ozrics shows. i told him i would bring them to the show in houston, so we will see how it goes. i can almost guarantee he won't be giving out any dt stuff. man, this is getting long. the intro tapes are not DAT, which surprised me. they are just normal maxell tapes. there are two of them. one is labelled "dream tape/pull me under intro" and the other "metropolis intro". there was a DAT deck taping the show from the board, but they did not tape the fates warning set, which surprised me. the version of eve played after the show sounded the same as the japanese version to me. i couldn't really tell, everyone was talking and making noise. i guess that is all, i am going to four more shows in a row, starting tonight in san antonio, so i will report back on those shows. oh yeay, james said if you can, catch one of teh shows in an old theater. (like the one in SA tonight) he said they only use half of their light show in clubs, and the whole thing at a few select shows in theaters. he says the full light show is amazing. later... ============================================================================= Voices repeating me, Brian V.

The weakest point of DT is like was said here, I think that this so-called panting brings a bit of emotion into the song and fits quite well, even though it may be annoying to some. > > LaBrie.

Just cuz the guy looks like a Fabio-type doesn't necessarily mean he's a poser - it's not like he's wearing any make-up or anything. And the scary thing is, in person he looks exactly the same as in the photos. In a way, he almost doesn't look like a real person...hard to explain, but really friggin' weird.... and not for nothin', but he's a pretty big guy too, in the built sense...nothin' like a Danzig, but I bet he'd kick my ass somethin' fierce! :) > He was, is , and always will be a poser. > now, now, let's not be harsh.... And on another note, not to take anything from Dominici, but if I heard the Dominici version of Metropolis that I have before the I & W version, I don't think I would have nearly been as impressed with DT (that was their first song I heard) in fact, I think it might have turned me off to them, not because of the musicianship, but just the fact that the vocals by Dominici in Metropolis were horrendous. BTW, this is not meant to start a flame war, but it is my opinion - though I'm sure many people who know what I am talking about will agree..... > Hardly.

The screaming stuff and LaBrie's enunciation of lyrics is the weakest part of his singing, but the range and feelings he puts into the songs makes up for it. I haven't listened to WDADU that much, but my first couple of impressions of Dominici was that he just didn't sing *most* of the songs with emotion - just sounded like he was reading the lyrics in tune..... > The > "weakest point of DT" ????
