Yes! Thank you both! It would be interesting to know how many YTSEJAMmers contributed to it! > Really liked it. But it is somehow strange that the lowest score > were 5.2, but of course it is hard to give a DT-song low scores. You are right! I just gave 2 2's and quite a bunch of 8's, 9's and 10's. No DT song can be rated as low as '0' or '1' (my opinion). > I saw that only 2.1 % liked EVE the most, and that should be round 5 > people I think. Unlikely. Actually, from the results you can guess how many people answered the extra questions. For the favorite live song it must me a multiple of 96 (my guess : 96) (unless anybody split her/his vote; then a multiple of 48 could be true as well). That's a multiple of 2 for EVE. To question #2 (musicians) you can easily calculte that 41 people (or a multiple of 41) replied to this question. (The probability that it actually were 41 people is more than 90%.) ------------------------------ > I know that I am one of those. Who are the others. It would be > nice to know !

Virtually any combination of the following: Vocals: Geoff whatshisname , Kal Swan, Shawn Ames, Tony Martin, Johan Edlund Guitar: Michael Iadevaio, Danny Malsch, Criss Oliva (if he were alive), Jon Romanowski, Frank Aresti, John Norum, etc. Bass: Eddie Jackson, Eric Yanaway, John Iadevaio Keys: Kevin Moore!

Mallery" To: Dream Theater List Subject: ProgFest, Dream bands. etc.. Message-ID: C'mon folks, the whole idea of Progfest was for more independent bands to get to play, and for many diehard prog fans to get together. DT has major label support and good crowds. But it would be nice to have a festival of bands like DT, Rush etc. where they each get to play full sets. What about 'progstock'? Anyway, even though everyone's probably sick to death of it, here's my dream band: Organ: Keith Emerson Minimoog: Rick Wakeman Drums: Neil Peart and Bill Bruford Guitar: Steve Morse Violin: Eddie Jobson Bass: Mark King Vocals: Steve Walsh and Annie Haslam Quasi-mystical readings: Jon Anderson And, inspired by Jens, here's my nightmare band :) : Drums: The guy in ZZ Top (or a drum machine, same difference) Sax: Kenny Cheese Keys: Tony Kaye Piano: Liberace Guitars: The countless number of wannabees out there..

Aside from some nightmare bands that have actually existed - > like Nirvana, Tesla and the Smithereens - here is my lineup. ^^^^^ Aww... hell, I *swore* to myself I would just let 'em go, but WTF- here I go. :) *Tesla* a _nightmare_ band?!? No f*&kin' way dude! I really can't understand how you can lump Tesla in with bands like Nirvana and the Smithereens. Tesla, IMHO, stradles the fence between progressive and straight metal very, very well (I suppose that for someone who doesn't have broad enough tastes to listen to straight metal, I would understand them not liking Tesla, but as I have seen many, many posts from 'straight metal' fans out there I have to take this poster as an exception). Want proof of their progressiveness? Try 'Changes' and 'Before My Eyes' off of _Mechanical Resonance_. There are not all that many bands out there that can pull off metal, hard rock, blues, classical, folk, jazz and rockabily (well) in a single album (and they've got 5 boys n' girls). Want guitar that can *burn*? Both Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeoch can fly... what makes them unique in the rock world is that they know when to turn off the burn, and turn on the taste. Anyway, I am almost positive that this has fallen on deaf ears, as most people out there seem pretty set in their ruts/opinions regarding music, but if you have read this far might I suggest that you give them a listen (or a re-listen), admittedly some of their stuff is straight-ahead rock (very good straight-ahead rock, mind you), but some of their stuff will simply blow you away. Nirvana, Smithereens and Tesla lumped together... no way James... not even in the same *universe*. ~Jeff P.S. *hell yes* I love Kiss, Iron Maden, Ratt, Great White, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Gn'R, Warrant, Def Leppard, WInger, Twisted Sister, Ozzy, Quiet Riot, Van Halen, et al... these (plus many, many more that I didn't mention) were what I *grew up* on. In my younger days the first Safeway I graffitied was done to 'Detroit Rock City by' Kiss (OK, so I was a punk way back when... don't worry, I grew up!) :) The first concert I ever went to was AC/DC... these bands are my roots and I will defend them till the day I die. C'mon people... I *can't* be the only one! :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Mar 95 13:49 MET From: email_address_removed.de (Ties Goebel) To: email_address_removed Subject: New DT Bootleg: "Caught In A Web" Message-ID: I just bought the CD "Caught In A Web - Live USA 1994".

It's awful because it includes those crappy early 80's songs sung by John Elefante, their replacement for Steve Walsh. "Fight Fire w/Fire", "Play the Game Tonight", and "Perfect Lover" are some of the worst stuff the group has put out. (2 of them don't even have Violin!...a Kansas trademark) What should you get? The Kansas Box Set, which includes all the best stuff from 1974 to 1980 with live goodies and the demo song that got them signed. You'll not be disappointed.

Hey Rick, and anyone else who's wondering about the same stuff that Rick is wondering about: DISCLAIMER: I don't mean to be condescending. I seem that way to most of my friends. For the most part, they are of the alterna-wanker breed, and when I talk about music in general or about "Bands Who Deserve To Rule The World" like DT, they accuse me of being a pompous, asshole. I don't mean to be condescending, but here follows my thoughts, as I know them. Why are such six-string virtuosos denied the privilege to play in a band? Well, here are some of my personal observations: 1. I've read the musician's classifieds for a while. I just gave up. There are nothing but alterna-schlock wankers who have goatees and wear socks on their heads. They're not interested in virtuosos. I'm not saying that I'm a virtuoso (Many a Petrucci lick has befuddled me, leaving me witha guitar around my neck, my toes on the rewind and play buttons and a really confused look on my face). I do enjoy playing fast and all that crap, however, and I've achieved a small degree of success. Listening to DT is very humbling. However, I was kicked out of a band once because they heard me play something in the vein of Van Halen/Randy Rhoads. It's probably because I haven't been looking hard enough, but I havent' found anyone I'd like to play in a band with. And besides, I don't believe it should be that hard to find your niche. 2. There are many virtuosos. That also means that there are at least ten dog-pawed axe slingers out there for every one Petrucci or Steve Howe. And there are at least 10 guitar players for every one singer and the ratio gets even worse for bass players, keyborads and drums - especially drums. And of course, for each of those, the 1 guy who you can work with is among at least 10 shmucks. It's hard enough to find musicians you get along with and it's even harder to find musicians you can play with. 3. My guitar playing leaves much to be desired, yet there is much about it that is desirable. However, in my 2.5+ years at a large university, (and there _ARE_ a lot of guitar players in college) I've met a grand total of THREE who I would say have a technique that is better developed than mine. And there is a fuckload more than THREE other guitarists that are the ham-handed, Lolla-pa-looser jerk offs. 4. Most people are under the assumption that if you play a musical instrument related to rock, then you should be in a band. That is NOT the case. 5. There would really be no fuss if I or any other musicians who are "unemployed" did not have a sense of artistic integrity. I could find work in a second if I were to grow a goatee and wear a sock on my head. I'm sorry, but that's not my schtick. I will stick to playing the music I love, and if that means not being in a band because of it, then so be it. Thank you for bearing with me. I know it was a bit lengthy. Elliott Kim email_address_removed University of Maryland @eng.umd.edu College Park BTW, It seems that DT is playing their live shows backwards. They used to open with "Metropolis" and close with PMU. And at least for the 11/7/94 show in Baltimore, it was PMU to open and Metropolis for the encore. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Mar 1995 17:50:43 +0100 From: email_address_removed.se (Henrik Gustafsson) To: email_address_removed Subject: LtL + KC Message-ID: Hello to all of you ! I just surfed around and found the lyrics for Images&Words. On Learning to Live it said that John Myung did the lyrics, is that true? I thought Lifting shadows was his first lyrical work, perhaps I was wrong. The learning to live-text I really like ( more than LSoaD ) and thought it was made by Moore/Petrucci. ------- I read through a CD-magazine this morning and found a King Crimson album, Three of a perfect pair. Is that a good one ? I've never heard anything about them, but people have said that they are close to Anekdoten and A:ngla ga'rd, and those Swedish bands I love. Is White Cross a prog-band ? I think someone mentioned that, but I can be totally wrong. The CD is real cheap. All for now and keep up the good work.

Message-ID: <9503070203.AA0074@localhost> Hi! I have seen DT live in Wels/Austria/Europe on Sat. The show was one of the hottest (speaking of temperature) I have ever seen; it was sold out (ok, this was a very small venue - 800). The band was REALLY great, but it is rather hard to enjoy the music when you get compressed to almost half your normal volume by boiling sweat-dripping bodies. I have seen them twice on the I&W tour, and the circumstances were a LOT better, although these two concerts were sold out, too. I think they must have put 1200 people into this 800 hall. They DID play Surrounded. But no Damage Inc., no Perfect Strangers, only one encore (Metropolis). So people, esp. in Austria and South Germany, if you can, try to avoid buying tickets for this venue ("Alter Schlachthof" in Wels). Try to get tickets for Munich, esp. Terminal 1 (I have seen Queensryche there yesterday - absolutely amazing performance!!) Everytime I have been in Terminal 1, the sound has been perfect. >> We previously talked about the lyrics to the mirror and said that "how on >> earth could you possibly..." would fit better than "how the hell..." or >> whatever he sings.

Message-ID: Boy, am I pumped!! My band played its first ever "major" live show, at an outdoor amphitheater-type of place. It wasn't really huge, just sort of like a Civic Square, but we got an audience, and they liked it! (mostly, I would guess, because we played all cover tunes). Saturday, 3/4/95 started it all.. remember that for when I hit the big time, if ever. :) Here was our set... remember now we can't play much prog metal as we're all really just rookies. Yohann, our lead guitarist, and I have been playing for five years, but we *still* can't do much DT. Bearing that in mind, I'd like to know what people here think of our set. It would of course change every night... I Don't Believe in Love More Than a Feeling (lotta older people grooving to this Boston tune) I Alone (huge reaction) Sex Type Thing Temples of Syrinx Lightning Crashes (the girls went frekin' nuts when we played this) Symphony of Destruction (hows that for an awkward transition) Pull Me Under (sort of a so/so reaction) Far Behind (another huge reaction) Self Esteem (rowdy, very) Enter Sandman All in all, it wasn't bad for a 10-song set. The show ran nearly an hour, which was good timing, it didn't drag. Would _you_ have enjoyed such a set? You can sort of tell that the songs I specifically wanted to do were Temples, Pull, I Alone, and LC... the rest of the band decided on the others. Those of you in the Phoenix area, we played this at America West Square on Mill Avenue, we just plopped down our instruments in the middle of the busy saturday night at Mill routine, and played.

Message-ID: Hi, me again, with some DT related questions (me, really, DT related? Nooooooo...) I just ordered a couple of DT imports and was wondering what was on them... 1. Awake (Japanese import), 2 CD set. What's on the bonus CD? I think I got a good deal for $30... 2. Lie (single, UK (I think)), What's all on this? $10, or so. 3. Also, what's on the Silent Man single? I wanna order it, too... 4. Where can I get my hands on Winter Rose? Were they signed and do they have any releases (w/ LaBrie)? 5. Same as above (replace Meanstreak w/ Winter Rose) Please email me in private Hate to clutter up the list more than I already have...
