I understand the religious reference fine, but... the whole context of the song seems to be about a person cheating/being cheated on... the "you tell me 'bout yout two more coming" would make much more sense as a reference to something like 2 more affairs. and how would the religious reference fit in with the next line...? "But once is just enough for me" Is the person saying he doesn't want Christ to come again? I think that's throwing too much religion into a song about a bad relationship. Anyway, the real reason I asked is because the original post had lots of quote from band members, and I wanted to clarify that it was a ytesjam member's interpretation, not Labrie's...

But I think that helps convey the "spacey" feel of the > music. i have been into voivod a long time, actually before dt :) i dont think any of the drums were sampled, they were just recorded extremely well, digitally. i love the sound of the drums on this album.. anyway, i dont really think "the outer limits" is a concept album. only 2 songs are about aliens, jack luminous, and we are not alone. jack luminous is a kick-ass epic song though, 17 1/2 minutes long. reminds me alot of a change of seasons or hemispheres. i really can't recommend voivod enough...they have vastly different sounds, though, so beware. i love all of their stuff, but they started out pretty thrashy. here is a rundown of their stuff: war and pain (1984) psycho-thrash metal, really abrasive rrroooaaarrr (1986) same kind of stuff killing technology (1987) first progressive type stuff, still thrash dimention hatross (1988) very progressive concept album about a guy entering a particle accelerator, becoming pure energy and traveling into another dimension. great songs with all kinds of dissonant chords and odd time nothingface (1989) extremely progressive, my roommate says it has industrial elements, the most odd time stuff this side of watchtower. this album is what really got them noticed in guitar mags and critics... i LOVE this album. pink floyd cover "astronimy domine" angel rat (1991) somewhat progressive, they finally lost their "stage names" snake, away, piggy, and blacky... the copy of this at our college radio station is labelled "pop crap" but i wouldnt go that far. i didnt like this album at first, but it grew on me. it is more of a commercial feel, they actually had radio airplay for "clouds in my house". terr brown (rush) is the new producer best of voivod (1992) 2 songs off each album, plus one unreleased song called "cockroaches". not a very good representation... the outer limits (1993) very mature album, 17.5 minute song, really ethereal sound at times, awesome production, great drum sound and very creative writing. this and nothingface are tied as my favorites, with this being the most listened to right now. "summer edition number 8" on the cover refers to it being their 8th album, and it came out in the summer. also refers to the "outer limits" tv show. another pink floyd cover "the nile song" **always looking for rush/dream theater/queensryche/king's x bootlegs** ============================================================================= Voices repeating me, Brian V.

Message-ID: Hiya guys 'n gals...more news 'n views... Just a huge thanks to those that have already got back to me about LA :) It's making me feel MUCH easier about it already. Give yourselves a round of applause :) While I'm on the thanks subject, HUGE ammounts of hugs go to Babs for putting so much effort into the 'con. I probably wont be able to make it due to finals 'n that, but it sounds great and I'm real envious of all of you. And, of course, equally huge ammounts of hugs go to Mike for sorting out Subconcious. Don't worry Mike, I'll make good my reservation as soon as I decide the best (and cheapest) way to get the money to you. On a DT note, does anyone know if the Silent Man single is out in the UK yet? I checked with HMV and Virgin but to no avail. They both had the various editions of Lie as soon as it came out, so I'm a little confused. Anyway, cheers again to all concerned with the above topics, and if anyone else wants to mail me, I'm looking for anything and everything about how I can enjoy life in LA for a year without getting shot. Later, Matt P.s. I realise this will probably annoy some of our American 'jamming friends, but am I really the only person that really doesn't like Tom Hanks very much? :) "For the first time in a long time...It's about music." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Mar 1995 07:26:54 -0600 From: email_address_removed (Jason Skewes) To: email_address_removed Subject: FAQ Corrections Message-ID: >Some of the dates of SECTION 1 should be fixed. It said that I&W went gold in >Jan 1995 and that should be 1994, I think. Also, it is not yet OCT 1995. Most >-of the years are wrong. I just thought I would mention it. I realize that the year concerning Awake is wrong. However I have it on a source VERY close to the band that IAW just went gold in January of this year. It might have shipped gold earlier - but in units sold, I understand that this just recently happened in January. I have a few corrections to make, however I don't feel that I need to send the FAQ back out to the list. If you want a corrected copy, I should have it out to the Dream Theater archives (drkhoe's) and out to Mike Burstin by Monday. I even found out that I had Jens name spelled wrong.... Ahhhhhhhhh!

First of all let me tell everyone the "tentative" date for the convention. It will be June 3. The only hang up at this time is waiting for DT's managements permission to confirm arrangements. I am chomping at the bit like the rest of you. PLEASE BE PATIENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had a couple questions as to whether they will jam or not. At this point management wants this to be just a meet and greet type of thing. Again I believe that cameras are welcome (I will absolutely double check all of this, I promise!) As for a trade show, I think that it could be possible. We plan on meeting and hanging out in a banquet hall, so I think that we can make accommodations for that. Just remember that the band is divided on their feelings about bootlegs. So we will have to play it cool. I think that the only ones who really don't care for the boots are James and possibly John P (I'm not exactly sure about how he feels). I should be speaking with management sometime next week. Right now I am compiling a database list of participants for the convention (that way I have facts and figures to show management) and right now we have from the Eastern seaboard 26 people planning on attending. One person plans on bringing between 10-12 people, another person wants to bring between 7-8 and another is going to bring between 3-4. So far that brings us close to 40. This does not include crews from the Midwest and California. I do know that Krysten would like to bring a bunch of people out from the midwest and I am waiting to hear from a couple contacts in California (you know who you are Tom and Ken) - tee hee. So we are growing and growing. Let's keep up the momentum!!!! I feel like I am working a telethon or something. Anyways, I apologize for the extremely long post. -BABS ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Mar 1995 09:25:15 -0600 (CST) From: STEVE SMITS To: email_address_removed Subject: Taping QR Message-ID: Date sent: 31-MAR-1995 09:14:19 This is great! Now QR can be added to the list of bands that give fans a special taper section at shows. Could DT be not that far off? Hopefully for the US summer tour they'll give us a section. DT are just like QR in that they are HEAVILY bootlegged...might as well give us a section to tape in so the tapes can be of the highest quality. I'll be taping the QR Green Bay show on May 5th. The freedom will allow me to bring in my big shotgun mic w/stand. Perhaps they may even let me patch into the board!? I'll have to kiss some ass for that. It'll be so nice not to have to crotch all the stuff to get it in....you tapers know what a pain that can be. If only DT was opening for QR...I'm not going to waste tape on TON. Any Boston fans out there? They are touring thi buying tickets for a 5/27 show tomorrow. ******************************************************************************** * "Same old song....just a drop of water in an endless sea." * * *** Always interested in trading Kansas shows *** * Steve Smits email_address_removed ******************************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Mar 1995 12:08:15 -0500 (EST) From: zebrowski steven To: email_address_removed Subject: Lie interpretation Message-ID: Hello, jammers! I really don't agree with the "religious symbolism" interpretation of Lie.:) I have trouble assuming that "two more coming" has anything to do with the "second coming" of Christ. They're just a little too incongruous. I think the only biblical allusion on Lie is the "doubting Thomas," and with that it seems that Moore is just alluding to a character in the Bible as a piece of literature, rather than some cosmic religious significance. In contrast, I&W was chock full of religious themes . Personally, I think the "two more coming" refers to how many other guys on the side the girl has, and the "once is just enough for me" lyric is the speaker's way of saying that it doesn't matter how many times one cheats; one is all it takes. But then, what do I know... See Ya Steve Z ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Mar 1995 13:42:54 -0600 (CST) From: Stone To: email_address_removed Subject: NO DT CONTENT Message-ID: Help.

I recommend _Nothingface_ in particular as REQUIRED listening for all fans of progressive metal. Don't expect lots of nice melodies or anything, though... but *do* look forward to LOTS of crazy time signatures, dissonant chords, bizzaro lyrics, and an excellent, excellent DDD production job (this album is ULTRA tight and clean-sounding). What a great band. Last I heard, Snake had split the band and they had found a new bass player/vocalist to fill the shoes of both Snake *and* Blacky. But this was months ago. So now the're a 3-piece, I guess. Can anyone offer any NEW news about the band?.....

You see, they stick a piece of plexiglass in your stomach so you can see where you're going when you have your head up your ass: The thread concerned the fact that certain DT music should be against the law to listen to while driving. The reason is obvious. I replied that Pantera is the *worst music to listen to* (okay, here I'm spelling it out for those with double-digit IQs) _because_ it's some of the most ultimate head-bangin' music out there; thus, it is dangerous to really get into it *while driving*.
