They do the strangest/coolest thing I've ever seen at a show during the song 'Promised Land'. I won't say anymore. As an aside, if you can, try to cough up a few bucks for the Red Cross.

But to all you drummers out there. I found a pair of sticks that are really cool. And I never guessed that ZILDJIAN made sticks, and damn good ones! Sorry 'bout the lack of DT content. I think this one offense is excusable since I've been pretty good about it. BTW, I'm actually a guitar player, but I do indulge in the drums every once in while. I'm somewhere closer to Phil Rudd's style than Portnoy's, but I'm having enough trouble as it is with the guitar and DT!

I have the cd which combines both albums: Crack the Sky:Crack the Sky/White Music the best tunes from there:surf city/she's a dancer/skin deep/ all american boy/hot razors in my heart not exactly progressive music, kinda reminds me of the cars. the first album came out in 1975 and the second in 1980.

Message-ID: Hi gang... Hadn't written in a while, so, I decided to drop a little note to everyone. I helped my g/f move today. Wasn't godawful, but, I hate moving stuff. Especially up stairs with a hand cart. Good news/Bad news: Good News: I got hired as a board operator at the radio station I was an intern at! This means that I get to push buttons from 12 midnight to 6am. I don't get to talk yet, but, I might. Bad News: The Music Director returned my "Silent Man" CD single to me. It never got on the air. He said, "It's a great song, but, nothing ever happened." Oh well. I tried. Music: 1) Does anyone happen to know what suburb of Philadelphia Echolyn is from? I still live here, and would like to know why I never heard of them until you people mentioned them. 2) Spruce Street Revival (my band) is still at it. The demo is coming along fine, but, I have A TON of work to do on this puppy before it gets out. Gag. And I have a final project for my film/video editing class. But, Hey - I'm a senior, and I'm gonna graduate. Cool enough. =) 3) Kansas - I heard from a very reliable source that Phil Ehart got married and was no longer touring with the band. He would, however, continue to record and manage the band. And someone call me if they do Incommudro - Hymn To The Atman. If they do that, I'll consider going to see them. Until then, I'm skipping the shows...unless, of course, they come to a bar within walking distance to my house and I can get in free. I'm sorry, but, "Whiskey" just turned me off to the current version of Kansas. At least we still have all those great albums to listen to. Sorry if I've stepped on toes, but, that's just how I feel. ANYWAY, Take it easy everybody! =) -Hairball ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 1995 19:42:02 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Jeff Stern) To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Kevin Moore Message-ID: >From: Scott Sneen > For those of you who have not gotten a hold of Kev's new demo >tape, don't! Not if you like any of Dream Theaters music. I respect him >for doing somthing with his talent after his leave. But what the hell is >he trying to write?! Some of it is alright, but most of it is that >industrial dance crap. You could really tell he was changing his music >preferences while he writing "AWAKE". It sounds like he wrote everything >with only one hand! Well...I see that since all of us like Dream Theater's music, then we can't like anything else that isn't immensely complex and has a million time sig changes in it?! I wouldn't call industrial dance "crap," nor would I call any of Kev's demos industrial dance anyway, with the exception of that one song w/ the harmonies in it. We knew Kev's style was changing. I don't know exactly what you expected, but I don't think you have the right to advise anyone else not to listen to his demos just because you don't like them, you know? If you think that no one on this list listens to NIN, Ministry, Lard, Consolidated, or other industrial dance stuff just because Dream Theater is nothing like it, you are sadly mistaken (Unless I''m the only onee, that is. but I don't think I am). Anyway, I really couldn't see myself DANCING to any of his new stuff(except for that song, again). Could YOU dance to "Normal Words?" I sure couldn't. And "Hollow" sounds like a straight ahead rock song w/ some piano at the end of it, but hardly industrial. Besides, remember that these are DEMOS and Kev is just beginning to find his style. Just my $.02. I just think that it's unfair to influence the other people on this list and just let them decide for themselves. It's free anyway. THIS IS NOT A FLAME!! --Jeff (defense boy) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 00:24:00 EST From: "REASONING IS PARTLY INSANE-RUSH, ANAGRAMS" To: email_address_removed, email_address_removed, email_address_removed, Subject: Important, please read and forward! Message-ID: ------- Forwarded Message There is a computer virus that is being sent across the Internet. If you receive an e-mail message with the subject line "Good Times", DO NOT read the message, DELETE it immediately. Please read the messages below. Some miscreant is sending e-mail under the title "good times" nation-wide. If you get anything like this, DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FILE! It has a virus that rewrites your hard drive, obliterating anything on it. Please be careful and forward this mail to anyone you care about--I have. Date: 12/2/94 11:59 AM Subject: INTERNET VIRUS Thought you might like to know... The FCC released a warning last Wednesday concerning a matter of major importance to any regular user of the InterNet. Apparently, a new computer virus has been engineered by a user of America Online that is unparalleled in its destructive capability. Other, more well-known viruses such as Stoned, Airwolf, and Michaelangelo pale in comparison to the prospects of this newest creation by a warped mentality. What makes this virus so terrifying, said the FCC, is the fact that no program needs to be exchanged for a new computer to be infected. It can be spread through the existing e-mail systems of the InterNet. Once a computer is infected, one of several things can happen. If the computer contains a hard drive, that will most likely be destroyed. If the program is not stopped, the computer's processor will be placed in an nth-complexity infinite binary loop - which can severely damage the processor if left running that way too long. Unfortunately, most novice computer users will not realize what is happening until it is far too late. Luckily, there is one sure means of detecting what is now known as the "Good Times" virus. It always travels to new computers the same way ina text e-mail message with the subject line reading simply "Good Times". Avoiding infection is easy once the file has been received - not readingit. The act of loading the file into the mail server's ASCII buffer causes the "Good Times" mainline program to initialize and execute. The program is highly intelligent - it will send copies of itself to everyone whose e-mail address is contained in a received-mail file or a sent- mail file, if it can find one. It will then proceed to trash the computer it is running on. The bottom line here is - if you receive a file with the subject line "Good TImes", delete it immediately! Do not read it! Rest assured that whoever's name was on the "From:" line was surely struck by the virus. Warn your friends and local system users of this newest threat to the InterNet! It could save them a lot of time and money. - -- |"""""| ( @ @ ) .-----------------------.oooO----(_)----Oooo.--------------------. | | | **** Email: email_address_removed.co.uk **** | | .oooO | | ( ) Oooo. | .--------------------------\ (---( )---------------------------. \_) ) / ------- End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 01:03:52 -0400 (EDT) From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Transcriptions available!! Message-ID: Hi everybody, it's Andrew. Just thought I would offer an updated list of tab transcriptions and DT interviews for the general interest of the jammers. This is far from a complete listing - it only comes from magazines and such that I have collected. An original list appears at the ftp site at netcom under the heading "Tablist" I think. Any additions are invited, as they can make for a more complete resource for interested DT fans intent on reading up on the band or learning the tunes by tab transcription. I would be willing to provide photocopies of these to ytsejam members for free if they ask. However, if I get a thousand requests, I might cut it off at the first ten or twenty or so. I'm only one humble collector of articles. I don't ask anything in return, but if people find things that aren't included here, perhaps they might email me first and send a copy to me so that I can make it available to the others. Here we go: ********PULL ME UNDER (gtr tab): Guitar World, May 1993 (This issue also includes Rush - Spirit of the Radio) ********Interview with Mike Portnoy: Modern Drummer, August 1993 (8pgs, includes endorsement of Hotstix - ha!) ********Load Out Column features JP's setup: GFTPM, September 1993 ********Interview with John Myung: Bass Player, February 1994 (2pgs) ********TAKE THE TIME (gtr & bass tab): GFTPM, March 1994 ********Interview with John Petrucci (4pgs & pullout poster) ********Sound FX Column on JP - shows how to get sound for TTT. ********JP wins "Breakthrough Guitarist" of '93 ********DT wins "Breakthrough Band" and "Best Songwriters" of '93 ********I&W wins "Album of the Year" for 93 ********Article by Drew Masters (1pg): M.E.A.T. October 1994 (Canadian mag) (this guy loves DT; calls them God's gift to metal in the 90s) (picked this up at RPM Warehouse show in Toronto...Oct 94) ********LIE (gtr & bass tab): GFTPM, November 1994 ********Cover feature on John Petrucci includes huge article ********Album Review of Awake by J.D. Considine ********Bass Clinic with John Myung: Guitar School, November 1994 (shows how to play openings of Scarred, LSOAD & Erotomania) ********CAUGHT IN A WEB (gtr & bass tab): Guitar School, January 1995 ********EROTOMANIA (gtr & bass tab): Guitar World, January 1995 That's all for now folks. Email me if I can send any of these items to you. I know I've missed a plethora of items from Feb & March. It would be great if those of you who get obscure regional mags (like "MEAT" in Canada) could let me know. I think we all could make this an important resource for DT fans if we get contributions from all over. Finally, I know of the existence of an I&W tab book. I DO NOT HAVE THIS BOOK! Please don't ask me for transcripts from it, as I don't have it. However, it is available from: Warner Bros. Publications Inc. 15800 N.W. 48th Avenue Miami FL 33014 USA ISBN is 0-89724-030-8 It retails for $24.95 That's all folks. Again, please let me know via email or the list of any interesting items you come across on your own. Look forward to hearing from you!

It is: email_address_removed I haven't mailed him at this one yet, and maybe he's cancelled his compuserve account, I don't know. But we should give it a try anyways.

It sounds like he wrote everything >with only one hand! 60 Actually, I don't agree, entirely. I _thought_ it was going to be all techno/dance/rave 'beat' stuff when I heard it described as 'industrial techno'. Although, when I got my tape (thanx Jen!), I was suprised (in a good way). Sure, it's not all wheely, pitch-bending soloing (in fact, not at all), but it's definately NOT all right handed dance music. Songs like Nora and Even_The_Waves will attest to that. Kevin will still remain a hero to me, for what he's done, and for his new direction. But I think that keyboardist from Black Jester will share the tandem spotlight with Kev as my new hero. All I gotta do now is find a copy of the disc! (Thanx for the 'Mirror Song' Mike Backof!) Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 1995 02:42:05 -0600 (CST) From: To: email_address_removed Subject: I know where Russ Parish is!! Message-ID: Hi all- No one is going to believe me when I tell you Russ fans out there what he's doing now, but here goes. Russ Parish is currently in a Cleveland based band called Outta the Blue. They combine very tight vocal harmonies with a very thick and proficient musical style. Sort of like Kings X meets the Beatles. They are very good. I'm not just saying that because Russ is in the band. They should be signed right now. IMHO Russ isn't the best guitarist in the band. The other guitarist Mike Zeuter (sp.?) is a little better. Last time I checked, they were recording an album. They were going to go to California, but I don't know if they made it. -DT content-- Tonight a bunch of my friends and I went to this shitty concert at the Alarossa Villa. All of the bands really sucked, but the second one was ok. About halfway through their set they said something that sounded to me like "Does anyone out there like Free Beer?". They really said "Does anyone out there like Dream Theater?". After that they went into a rendition of The Ytse Jam. They did it pretty well. In my mind, that makes them good instead of really shitty. That's all folks. -Steve (Friend of Jeff(that guy)) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 03:24:21 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Dave) To: email_address_removed Cc: email_address_removed, email_address_removed, email_address_removed, Subject: Good Times Message-ID: Good Times for all! mQBNAi1wzPgAAAECALEP7k1aIoMmCRr4Q8CGQ1wyFR8jXWxPz+sBIjI87E4sX1Va PTEdjbX+0yF4CCoBPLDm3MDrpz0gN9vmma/YGVUABRG0IlN0ZWZhbiBTY2hvbGwg 9BIhtC3VZ1pHeHQQ2ZV1NzFl4YRgc3p8qL+L+CmtIaKbdmPdGpw1HdRdT7UCdbbJ pDanDOKrP+yWB1DHAGV76DwfHBAwXdmqTNO0OuhRkJJ1FYj3yPSpikIbPeIcsXkc PHN0ZXNjaEBza3MuaW5rYS5kZT6JAFUCBRAvatyy/ZhK+bLW8KUBAVv+AgDxGTl8 ijZfIoUVD38F4rnhmJSQMgz1ZssuBFsAdtNLJRe2BI9mv0pAeyrM/FSGsyBYRRZZ n8yS6CkX9oLs2deyiQCVAgUQLxbRYw9HL1s0103BAQE58QP+J0LXpLYPeYlpxYC/ Qv8NaNGrPkaw9mmVUMbvodjXtEOJAFUCBRAvBHl5W3G4iuQdn+UBAQxuAgCR/25C GEsWx5LQzGdmSmbpaCDtZApsV+f/bn2nwPmPjo3r5jTjan7YnoyuVWqS49xFE1lz rqPu97ZHoctkPdrEiQBVAgUQLwA3veG0USbQPK5tAQEZ7wH/USl2oty0UBz31uN8 U5eEg/9AFeshSS59bF86q9ufGQQo9/ueXFXa9YqWBIV30trPzLHtyxyh4CK/084f vWcYe4kAVQMFEC74m7A32+aZr9gZVQEBigoCAKEkiqWDh1XnsmoG7M0VFyL/72Vm 84P6lhFI5g+JY89ERB6gOp6qYUTUgxOThV4GQi0A5m0sumRrKDakMNGuPheJAJUC BRAuyBdjnIj62eAQsJ0BAWQYA/9Jn1+N/1VB+YGYPm76rgsxjQP8P7dvV9+SAfAF IkH0qpdh6b8EmxiajYyVjj9rghhQNJ/JTEs00ccFGQETepbJNR+zk5uWVPBGCtcs Ik04fKdPJfy9/FYTOJCN3FuJTXF539Xbrr9tIhBd9ClQFQhENg4HSF7mQ1b6QesZ U7QGtAT22e32x86vwQ114i/gMucrp0Qu48i1+6NX102ClChwf6VTfsiXDLeLzw+q pKzBecMPQ8SnUCDrmDre0MpfJU6BGbpsnXkBjJ9Q4MRZEDI8QafxoOWIB0gGih0+ GA+UiQBVAgUQLwR6A1txuIrkHZ/lAQHeVgH8DGySb/HQk0ZwvbV2uEHjHkG249+q PL9leDnsKlblheVLgZo3d7ECnKVWAoKIVlivXMAdddcvWwQHCzv49Eok0okAVQIF EC8DMDThtFEm0DyubQEBi0MB/0A0DgmqZ46Oj14XvQmHgVh1esSJBeldttWqm5QN dAP1UK0xx3yFloTL1nyeVtMj5WVEBEZTt1Ko34V/Re5Fhb2JAFUDBRAuzgmKN9vm bVFvEokAlQIFEC7IF1TUfXE1HhruRQEBBjgEAKV13uHpQwFGcXtaE8w5aMEMebU5 p+epZZCj6sVE+S7nXJDA1fzyYu0yG7tPXipcDtyvAfp36VTsEqHCi7/x2v9Spm4v 8/OvzbNpTeNe5QTQRUt/PdHPvSun8TuUST5zUiXDxBmbcwTmH+K56eUlCMSs2Ohw ijNwefu94b3Nrvo8tCVTdGVmYW4gU2Nob2xsIDxzdGVmYW4uc2Nob2xsQGlua2Eu ZGU+iQBVAgUQL3yEmv2YSvmy1vClAQHYIAH/cm09FoQQ9n1NH/59ugOa3cVyBy3L UtI/wROeGudupZMid8LE/qKOv3ep8peMwMEyWuKaHIcJ/ze7v8fRCEjJ1YkAlQIF EC8W0YMPRy9bNNdNwQEB3XkD/257G1e+k5If69gKk8DoXZMewrPLblXGDMCeYgjz ma/YGVUBAbnRAfsGdQax+Efzk1+dVn3bdjcjwHbHrFAJTIAv77Cs7IQ5srMu4HrU B0GG1Q7skeaHI0vWYFvrH1bp9jXGphBoWPot =wg6l ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 02:38:51 C From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Good Times :^) Message-ID: Blah!!!

Why dont you go pick up an issue of modern drummer and look at the little Hot Sticks ad!! Low and behold it is a picture of Mike Portnoy!!!! I also read that he plays with the but end of one of his sticks!! That might prevent some of the breakage!! Also, some people break sticks constantly because they don't hold the sticks right!!!! Besides, why would Mike Portnoy endorse one product and use another!!! He gets them for free why should he care if they break!? Just a few observations.
