As I tried to express already I must also underline that I find it absolutely wrong place here to discuss what band everybody likes and what not. Causes really big traffic - but not any information that this list should really lead to. Man, I'm here to discuss and to hear interesting things bout DT that are not covered by any magazine and not to pay big amounts for my mail traffic and waste my time by flying over millions of messagelines about who likes which singer and so on. Better we have few traffic....if there are no new things to discuss. Ytsejam gets very uninteresting with all these disucssions because many people (at least me) tend to ignore the few intersting things which are hidden between all these "i like that band...think of that bad basser!"-mails!

Message-ID: Hi everyone it's Rick- I've only posted on the digest once before (pertaining to a DT lick) and received great response from fellow guitar players. There seem to be a lot of experienced six-string virtuosos floating around on the net. I've even read several letters by persons claiming to have the ability to play such songs as Erotomania and other DT masterpieces. I have a few things to say about these, and I am in no way being critical or skeptical, I'm just curious: 1>-Why would someone of this musical ability not already be in a band? Good musicians are in demand; anyone who can truely play at this level should not be looking for buddies to jam with on an internet mailing list. They should have an add in the paper as well as a demo tape, which leads me to number... 2>-If these are true claims, I would LOVE to have a recording of these persons playing their instruments! I am a guitar player myself and would be excited to hear other players who have established a solid level of playing ability. I would gladly pay postage and a buck or two in return for a home recording of a DT guitar track, as well as a commentary on how this person developed their ability (warm up drills, practice routine, etc...). I am not ashamed to admit that there are many, many John Pettrucci (sp?) licks that I cannot do, including the string skipping part in Erotomania, the UAGM solo (excellent tune), and just about everything else he does. If someone could give me guidence, I would more than appreciate it. I've got the speed, but no direction. If anyone is interested in giving me a mail-order lesson on how to play a few DT tunes (UAGM, Lie, AFIL in particular), E-mail me at email_address_removed and we'll work something out. One more thing... Here's my own nightmare band: Vocals - Jabba the Hut Guitars - Jimmy Buffet and Dwight Yokum (sp) Bass - That kid in the guitar store who is always playing Nirvana Drums - Garth "Everyday I turn little cogs that turn bigger cogs. And for every hour I do this, I receive a penny, half of which goes to pay the big screen that tells me I am very happy indeed..." -Author Unknown Rick. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Mar 1995 14:36:01 +0100 From: email_address_removed.se (Henrik Gustafsson) To: email_address_removed Subject: London COVER-gig ++ Message-ID: Hi This message is for Rob Chinneck, Liverpool ! The man that recorded Dream Theater's COVERgig in London some time ago. I would really want a tape or two of that. Accidently I must have erased your E-mail address, and I really want to get in contact with you. I think I can get some GBP now and I wonder if I should send them to your *REAL*address, that one I've got. Still it would be nice to hear from you first, just to make me more sure that you really are out there. So please Email me as soon as possible. email_address_removed.se BTW if someone else reads this, and have Rob's E-mail, feel free to send it to me. ================ AND to the persons that keep starting those *nonsense* question like: who's the oldest YJ Dream band How long you can live without DT -Please stop. I find them at NO interest, and so do a lot of others, I believe. There are too much of this. some question once in a while is nice, but not half of the YtseJam-mails. ============== AND to all of you little private-eye's out there. I doubt that Dream Theater really is trying to put a little bit of every song in the picture. I do enjoy reading your explanations, though. It's great to hear another persons opinion on the songs, they aren't that easy to figure out after all. Earlier, that is some years ago, there were a lot of these sort of "what the songs where about"-talk on YtseJam. I liked that, sort of miss it now. Hopefully no one got offended.

Much as I love Petrucci's playing and style, Becker and Friedman will probably always be my 'gods'. Even though Friedman has had to tone his solo's down a bit due to Mustaine's selling out, he still displays an ability to play anything with almost utter perfection (listening to him live is like listening to the album) As far as Becker, I thought I heard rumors that he might have another solo album out (tribute?) - On the subject of Bootlegs, I hope it's not a forbidden topic because I haven't heard it spoken of much on here, but here goes. Anyone have a good source for DT boots? One place I know of (other than the very rare one popping up at my local album stores) is http://cdnow.com. They have a few up there, including the only one I have so far (Dream Out Loud). I've read the bootleg list and I see that I've got quite a ways to go! - The Death Gate cycle is a very good series...I have to get the sixth and seventh book and finish it. For those of you w/ CD roms and a fast computer, you should check out the CD game version of the series, I have that too and it's pretty cool.

I happen to like both and would rather go to an event like this that included some of each. How do you all feel about a combination event? I've noted in the past that some jammers don't care for Prog rock just metal while others (most I think) listen to both. I got your info offline on how to reach the company that sponsors ProgFest and I think it's worth pursuing.

Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Mar 1995 16:54:20 -0800 (PST) From: Steve Borzilleri To: email_address_removed Subject: Awake Cover/Silent Man Message-ID: To Zack Gemmill - Keep in mind that all of what I said was off the top of my head, from when I first got the album. I never even thought to investigate "who" that statue was, the reason being that the gold mirror on the cover looked suspiciously computer-generated, so I wasn't about to assume that the statue was as real as it looked! True, the statue could be a real one, it could be Michelangelo's "Moses." It's good to see that someone has actually identified one of the symbols on the cover! (as in, "that mirror was used by Joan of Arc," or something) Now, we must open our Bibles to the story of Moses, hee hee, more literature for Dream Theater analysis!!! Yessss, I can feel the insanity setting in... Anyway, "The Silent Man" is another song I am basically "clueless" on when it comes to its meaning. I was able to explain a few of the lines for a partial understanding, but the song as a whole is beyond me! Something tells me even if Petrucci were to say what it was about, his answer would be another lyrical riddle to figure out! He's probably laughing at us right now! "Clueless! You're both utterly clueless!! Hahahahahaaaa!!" So maybe if we figure out what the song means first, we could relate it to one of the symbols on the album cover. Seriously though, even without the statue, the song would still remind me of Oedipus. And vice versa, even without the song, the statue would probably still look exactly the same, exactly like whoever it is supposed to symbolize(Moses?). I guess what that all means is that "The Silent Man" may not correlate with the statue at all! (more laughter from Petrucci) But still, based on the angles of the statue and the mirror, the man is definitely looking INTO the mirror. So now we have to figure out who the statue is and why he's looking into a mirror...anyone? (not to mention the 241 other questions there are to answer about DT symbols and lyrics!) A while back someone asked who the best female vocalist would be to match James LaBrie in a "Suite Sister Mary" type of duet. Only one comes to mind (similar sound and range): Ann Wilson of Heart. As for a Dream Band: Sammy Hagar (vocals), Blues Saraceno & Nuno Bettencourt (twin-attack rhythm & lead guitars), Billy Sheehan (bass), Mike Portnoy (drums). Now this might not be the best possible five-person band that could ever exist, but I REALLY think that those five would work well together, being five extremely rhythmic musicians!

Jason Hartman" To: email_address_removed Subject: Brian Cox + Echolyn Message-ID: ATTENTION BRIAN COX!!!! Could you please send me your e-mail address? I wanna trade with you but most of my mail box got wiped out. I've seen the band Echolyn mentioned on here a few times so I just thought I'd talk about them for a few lines. I first heard them on a sampler tape (thanks Mike) which contianed one song called As The World. This song is great. I would kinda describe the band as if Dream Theater, after Images and Words, had gonna in the opposite direction of Awake. Its a lighter, more jazzy type of sound. The band has great guitar work and excellent keyboard work. And one thing they have on DT is vocal harmonies, not just one guy but usually 2 or 3 others and they even can pull this off live (or so I'm told). The harmonies are on par with Extreme and the Cowboys (the Galatic ones, not the Dallas ones :) ). The singer is also good and I would describe his voice as sounding kinda like Joe Jackson. You can tell that the drummer (who is awesome) definatly has more of a jazz background, for those of you (like me) who enjoy that style of druming. I think they have 2 or 3 old albums which are very hard to get. They were signed by Sony and there new album , As The World, is coming out this Tuesday, March 7th. I would recommend checking it out if you can. If you do any trading with me, I'd be happy to give you a copy of some of their stuff.
