This is just my opinion on the little conversations that have been going on about people (girlfriends, etc.) of ytsejammer's) who don't like Jame's voice. I can't quite understand this? I find his voice quite enjoyable (maybe I am just biased because I am just so intriqued by the man). A former boyfriend of mine was a guitarist in a band and their lead singer would come out and just shake the fillings out of your teeth he was that loud and precise (I personally couldn't stand that - drove me absolutely nuts, set me on edge). Again, I just don't under- stand what is not pleasurable about LaBrie's voice. Just my opinion. -BABS ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Apr 1995 09:47:02 -0500 (EST) From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 775 Message-ID: Hello everyone, this message is for Bernd regarding the convention: "This year the United States, Europe next year" That's providing that I survive this year's convention, I might have to go into hiding up in Canada to recover from the stress. -BABS ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Apr 95 15:41:19 MET From: email_address_removed (Alex Reinelt) To: email_address_removed Subject: DT in germany!

Yeah, I've got in on my wall about five feet from my head right now. That's the one where they purposely superimposed rolling clouds over his face to blur everything. I didn't particularly like that effect, but it's a neat ad. Did you catch the plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce on the verrry edge of the picture? Anyway, on the recent Petrucci ad (DiMarzio), there's a red "JR" emblem on the ends of his jacket sleeves. So while I can't read/decipher the silver lettering (on the rest of the jacket) to save my life, I'll definitely keeps my eyes open for that red emblem... Michael Opstall: yes, those time signatures for WFS looked fine to me!

On this recent thread of which band members write the most I would have to say that I do think Petrucci brings many ideas in, but I don't think he's dominating (in a bad way). I also think than John Myung contributes more than meets the eye. That is usually the way with bass-players, the don't say or seem to do much but in fact many times they're like the glue that keeps stuff together. Just look at the most classic examples in hard rock: John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) did not write all the songs for Zep, but he had a great impact nevertheless, Roger Glover of Deep Purple, co-wrote, arranged and produced most of the DP-stuff. There needs to be bass-players that keep the bands together and prevents the solo-onanists (mainly guitarists) from destroying the works, bassists seem to see the music as a whole with a good view of what could and could not fit, while (some->most) guitar-players are interested in showing-off. Don't get me wrong, I happen to like 'showing off' alot but music is supposed to be more than that. In this way I see John Myung very much as a contributing factor, as well as writing the two best lyrics (IMO), and co-writing generally. I seem to remember that someone said that the person with the main-idea or a person that feels very strongly about a song often get to write the lyric. That's probably true: 1) Mike wrote the lyrics to 'The Mirror' - enthusiastic about the song, likes heavy stuff etc... 2) John Myung wrote the lyrics to LTL and LSOAD - the main themes has to come from him, the harmonics-thing at the beginning of LSOAD and the bass-riffs/figures in LTL which is the most important parts for that song together with the WFS-theme. 3) With this theory Kevin and John were the main contributors since they wrote half the lyrics each, and maybe...that's really the case. I do wish that when writing new stuff John Myung's talent will come through more. With Awake it seemed initially to me as if John Petrucci was completely taking over. When listening for a couple of hundred times more I found that that wasn't really true, although I find relatively more John P-writing on Awake. I like his writing, don't get me wrong, but I'd like the music to be as multi-dimensional as possible. With that in mind I hope that Derek's own style and hopefully his writing will come through. Maybe on the EP we will find out. Enough rambling...maybe all this about Myung is because I'm a bass-player myself (or trying to be!) but I don't wan't a JP-solo-band. (hmm...I actually wan't a JP solo-album but that's another story!)

Metallica, DT, Pantera.... Somehow he's always behind the scenes chatting with other bands etc. Probably a nice guy. ------- What do you really think about the older material? I know that many people have heard the Majesty-stuff etc and said that 'it's cool' but how do you actually compare it to the real DT-stuff? Ok, some of it is very 80-ish, neoclassical style which sounds a bit dated but there's actually some very good stuff in there. I'd rate Vital Star as one of my fave DT/Majesty-songs. A Vision is also a favourite of mine. Actually I think Chris Collins is kind-of cool, I like his voice although it's 80's-metal-yelling. He's got some special feel to it. What do you think? I haven't heard all of the audition-tapes but could someone who has please describe the other vocalists. And also: who's singing "Don't look past me"?

Although they did transcribe Erotomania and Eruption, >theres also a bunch of stuff like Metallica, Green Day, and REM that >anyone could play behind their back. I'm inclined to agree. I think if I see one more Nirvana song transcribed in ANY guitar magazine I'll throw up! GW usually puts in one (two if you're REALLY lucky) good song per issue. They have redeemed themselves somewhat in past issues by transcribing DT's 'Pull Me Under,' 'Take The Time,' 'Erotomania,' Rush's 'Spirit Of The Radio,' 'Stick It Out,' Yes' 'Clap' and various other progressive rock/metal songs. For the most part, though, they print whatever is popular or trendy, which is rather sad. >I transcribed Green Day's "When I >come Around" from memory without an instrument as an example to a friend >of mine that thinks Green Day is progressive. Your friend might be thinking of progressive rock in the context of alternative, college-radio rock (the bastardized usage of the term!)

Message-ID: Hey all you guitar-magaizine-reading-Ytsejammers.. The reason Petrucci's eyes are red in the DiMarzio ad that everyone seems to be talking about is not uncommon and most likely unintentional. The red eyes is caused by the light of the flash being reflected off the back of the retina, hence, the red color. It happens when there is less ambient light in the surrounding area, and the flash is made to do most of the work. Y'all can thank the behavior of light in photographs for the demonic look.

When I first got into DreamTheater I was sure that KevinMoore was the great force of the band. In my opinion he and his wonderful keybords gave DT their charisteristic style. He was the man that separated DT from other metal-bands. I, then, was a completely moran in prog.music. Especially I loved the OnlyAMatterOfTime. Still do. When Images&Words got out I think JPetrucci had taken a big step forward and those two made a brilliant couple in music-making. They fit so well together, and correlated wonderful. Of course JPortnoy's crazy drumming, and JMyung's ( too hard to hear ) bassplaying and LaBrie did a great job too, but the couldn't reach those hights without KM and JP. The last year something has happened to KMoore. I don't really know what, but Petrucci is alone in the front room. Of course, as always, the singer gets a lot of publicity. The vocalist is naturally the front man, probably because he is "expressing the messege". This is the fact in every band (except Yngwie Malmsteen ) and that might be the reason why LaBrie is placed in front. I hardly think he despite it. The same goes to Portnoy ( love the "title" Biggest DT-fan ). But as the conceptual DT-member I would definately go for John Petrucci. DT wouldn't be DT witout him.

Well, before I waste a couple of days finding out if there are, I'm just going to say what I am going to say anyway (hey, that rymes). Personally, I used to be into Mr. Big, but then I got too frusterated that there were two phenomonal musicians in the band that were constantly putting out, IMHO, mediocre hard rock albums. So, I've pretty much gone away from Mr. Big. But, a guy who lives by me played me a boot called "A Tribute to Hendrix" last night that is from a 1991 German Jazz Festival. I don't know why Paul Gilbert was there, but let me tell you, it blew me away!! I didn't know that Gilbert was capable of pulling this off (the rest of Mr Big was not there. He had two other musicians with him). And you wouldn't believe how much he sounded like Hendrix when he sang!! Yes, you heard me correctly, he sang too. It must be from a soulndboard because the sound is at exceptional quality. Anyway, my question is, has ANYONE heard f this disc and where to find it? I must have it!!!

I've only been subscribing to the digest for about 2 weeks. It's been fun reading about the things I didn't know about the band. Anyway, the reason I'm posting is in response to a man named Tim stating something to the effect of JLaB's voice not doing anything for you. I'm just a _little_ curious how it doesn't affect you at all. I honestly could put him up with the likes of Pavorotti, Domingo, and Carreras. Though the styles are VERY different, the talent is the same. A friend of mine and I always manage to speed as we're driving along listening to "The Mirror." At the same time, I'm singing the melody, and he's creating some crazy harmonies. Next time you're listening to DT, think about how challenging it is to hold a powerful E or F for 15 seconds. Then think about James's voice again. A new viewpoint? Does anyone else out there sing? Please give me some input as to your thoughts on JLaB's voice. Thanks.
