Someone was kind enough to respond, but I mistakenly erased that message. Could this person, or any other person who has the album please e-mail me personally? I would be greatly appreciative. On another note: Someone recently asked about favorite bands other than DT. Well mine would have to be (pretty much in order): King's X echolyn Rush Yes I hate to be too predictable with those last two, but you cannot deny such a phenomenal body of work in either case.

Thanks so much!!! I lost your address or else I would be e-mailing you privately. I love the tape. Couple bits of trivia: Did you know that "Toast of the Town" by Motley Crue was also recorded by a band called Pretty Boy Floyd? I didn't know that song was Motley's. Also you list one of the songs on the Poison demo as "Talkin' Down." I believe the real title is "Talkin' Loud." Thanks again.

Then in YJ 1012 Erik Wolfe said Malmsteen produced "Useless shred." This bothers me. Malmsteen is incredible, really. I hope most of you have heard him. I think his guitar solos are very well thought out. As for him playing fast...well...he does. However, I'm know he could play faster if he just wanted to "shred." The following is quoted from Guitar World, and is reprinted in his "Collection" cd: "The first thing one notices about his solos, aside from the pronounced classical infulence, is Yngwie's wickedly fast technique. 'It's not playing fast in itself that appeals to me,' he says. 'Speed can be very dramatic if done in addition to playing slow--it's great contrast. It's also important to me that what I play fast will also sound good if the same notes are played at a slower speed. The reason I play a lot of fast licks is because that's what a lot of people want to hear, to a certain extent. 'But I don't consider myself a very fast player. I'm sure other guitarists can play faster. What I do that a lot of other guys don't do is I don't play things that are rubbish. I play classical runs, arpeggios and broken chords that if player at a slower speed would sound very nice as well. But if it's done very fast and very clean, but not necessarily as fast as someone else, it'll appear much faster because it actually makes more sense.'" I had responded to the 1st place "slam" earlier, (twice now) but due to some miscommunication (Probably AOL's fault) it either never made it to YJ, or I missed the Digest it was in. Malmsteen is awesome. Maybe he's "sold out" but he plays very well. If you don't appreciate his music, fine, but don't slam his playing ability, or classical-based solos. Bryan R. Adams P.S. Don't get me wrong...Petrucci is very very good. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Oct 1995 21:33:45 +0000 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 1028 Message-ID: Our friend Graham B. writes: >Dream Theater have already sold out. >They refused to tour the UK because they aren't quite as popular here >as they are in the >rest of the world, and they seemed to think that they were 'above' >playing small venues. >If every other rock band under the sun can tour the UK, why the hell >can't Dream Theater? >Graham B. There is a difference between "selling out" and doing what you need to do to make a living. It really doesn't make a lot of sense to spend your early years (while your desperately trying to scrape along) touring places that show a lack of interest in you. That's not selling out, that's being intelligent. "If every other rock band under the sun can write bad songs, why the hell can't Dream Theater?" Gee, there's a good reason DT should do something.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've played to whole thing twice on my radio show. The first time was the week it came out. Speaking of which, I want to let everyone know (many of you already know this), that I play a lot of unsigned material on my show. It's a HR/HM show on Sunday nights from 8-11 pm, and its a college station, so I can play what I want.

Message-ID: Hey all Jammers, I just got back from Mike Portnoy's autograph session at Wichita's MIDWEST Drum and Percussion shop. He was very cool. There was only about ten other people in the whole store when I got there (actually, my whole family -- girlfriend and daughter that is -- was there before Mike even showed up!). So Mike was really personal and stuff. * only thing new I found out since last time: James LaBrie is also a father-to-be!! So there you have it. To Mike Bahr, Portnoy said that he listened to the CDs last night and thought they were "quite awesome"!! He thanked you and me again and again for our efforts (he gratiously thanked me for the printouts of the ytsejams, it gave him something to read on the plane!).

At home, my friends love DT, but here > at school, the "hot bands" are Phish, Blues Traveller and Dave Matthews. > It's such a coincidence that about 2000 people at my school have the EXACT > same taste in music:) (Sure, I'm bitter). Feel lucky. Around here the big thing is your dance/cRap stuff and your Weezer/Green Day not-really-alterative vomit. At least Blues Traveller and Dave Matthews are pretty good musicians, even if not quite interesting enough for me, and Phish really IS incredible. They're actually pretty progressive. Hell, around here the only Phish fan I knew was the one who got me into the band--all he had to do was let me barrow _Junta_ and I was hooked. So you have a good pool of progressive fans to dip into. Let's try to think of ways to move them toward Dream Theater, though it would take time. First, you might want to start with Frank Zappa, a big influence on Phish. Begin with HOT RATS, then go for GRAND WAZOO (focus track "Eat That Question," great keyboard pyrotechnics) and ONE SIZE FITS ALL (focus tracks "Inca Roads" and "Andy," both damn tastefully progressive). Though I can't see it myself, Gentle Giant fans find Zappa similar, so then you might want to go for GG. Or you might want to go from Zappa to King Crimson. I find similarities there sometimes--some of Adrian Belew's weirdness, some of the jazziness on IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON, the rock with acoustic instruments on the first two generations. Anyway, once you get into some of the more traditional progressive groups, just work through the ranks until you get to DT. OR, you might want to go from Phish to Bela Fleck, who are friendly with the band and share a lot. A good place is TALES FROM THE ACOUSTIC PLANET, a great album with a lot of strange times. A great tune is "Bicyclops," with Chick Corea on piano, which sounds like it's in a million time signatures but which is only in 6/4 and 4/4...now that's class. It could be easy to jump to Gentle Giant or some more laid-back highly technical band from here. OR, go from Phish or from Zappa to Mahavishnu Orchestra, BIRDS OF FIRE and INNER MOUNTING FLAME. Focus on Jan Hammer's amazing keyboard work. Then hit them with Billy Cobham's SPECTRUM--more Jan Hammer. Then go directly to Kevin Moore pyrotechnics (KM seems to me a combo of Wakeman and Hammer--what does the jam say?). Well, what do you think? -- If you can tolerate amateur poetry enough to do a SUCK/NOT SUCK poll, PLEASE check out http://grove.ufl.edu/~jeremy.

She was given the gift of prophecy, but fated by Apollo never to be believed. That is all that I know about the mythological origins of the line. I remember looking her up when I first heard the song. I can assume that she was fleeting out of frustration. It would suck to know the future and never be believed. That's the way it fits into the song for me at least. I wish that I had a book of Greek mythology....

Just thought I'd stir some trouble up on our little list, here. Seriously though, I've had a couple of questions on my mind from reading several of the past digests. It would be nice if we could have an interesting, FRIENDLY discussion about these things. Some may notice these questions aren't about DT directly. Here's the connection: A lot of discussion has gone on about DT selling out and our fears about this. The following two questions have to do with the idea of selling out and what it means. Also, I'm interested in what people have to say about this who are DT fans, like myself. 1. I frankly don't understand why so many people view Metallica's Black album as a sellout. Personally, I think its their best. I enjoy their other albums too, especially Master of Puppets and Ride the Lighting, but I find the songs on the Black album to be more solid in a couple of ways. For one thing, there's more consistency on the album. All the songs are good. The songs are very heavy, but slower, and carry more "mood" than most of their other works (IMO). I tend to like Metal, but not to much Thrash. The song "Nothing Else Matters" I think may be key in many people's assessment that they've sold out. But, it really is not so different from their style of beginning a song with an absolutely beautiful acoustic part, and getting heavier as they go. It's just that in this song, they managed to mesh the two parts so brilliantly that many non-metal fans found themselves enjoying a song that turns into a metal song, and they barely notice! And the lyrics - ever consider that maybe their fans are included in "Never cared for what they say"? What do ya'll think (if you don't know Metallica, sorry) 2. I'm gonna be brave and say it. I like Pearl Jam. I like Stone Temple Pilots. I don't view these bands as simple commercial bands, a lot of their stuff is just too intense to be seen so simply (again, IMO). They aren't the musicians that DT is, of course, but that's not the only requirement to music. I'm just interested in knowing what people on this list. Hopefully, my coming out of the closet :) will help others admit their musical vices! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Oct 1995 19:40:31 -0500 (CDT) From: John Nguyen To: email_address_removed Subject: one more Mike thing Message-ID: I forgot to mention that Mike Portnoy held my baby daughter and stood in between my girfiend and I for the picture.

John Nguyen ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Oct 1995 15:49:01 -0400 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Cc: email_address_removed Subject: an unforgettable night Message-ID: Hello all. I am actually someone who is already on the jam, but because "I" wish to keep my real identity anonymous, I shall use another account. You will have to excuse me on that account, but I have my own reasons. I have something I'd really like to share with you all, about an experience I had last night (9/30-10/1). I don't know why I'm doing this, and you may think it's all rubbish, but that's ok. I guess I just wanted to get this out of me once and for all. Last night, my girlfriend and friends did something perhaps bad; we took in some shrooms. I decided that I was going to bring some cd's to listen to on my "journey." I pulled out some Tori Amos, Yes' "Fragile", and a couple of others. The last I put in (and actually became the first and only cd I listened to all night) was ACOS. You have to picture it- it's pitch black outside in this nature preserve in the back of my school, and we're all just tripping face and looking at the millions of stars. Very surreal. ACOS was fun to listen to- it didn't necessarily give me some drug-induced revelations about the world, but it was good listening. Some time later, after it had pretty much worn off of me, I was trying to deal with my girlfriend, who was still going strong (it was her first time). And she wished me to tell her stories, so I began to ramble on as best as I could about King Lear and Titus Andronicus (how's that for opposite sides of the spectrum?), and then she bade me to tell her a "happy story." So I began to tell her about a boy who was growing up so young and innocent, and he would look at the world with those callow eyes, and he would jst get pummeled by everybody and everything in life- he had someone special in his life, and one day, she looked him in the eye and said "I love you", and then "goodbye." Now, are we getting somewhere? Do you all perhaps see where this is going? Yes, my interpretation of the song may be quite "inaccurate", but I'm, afraid that may be irrelevant at this juncture. The story continues. I went on telling my how even after "she" left, "he" (our protagonist)was determined to build himself back up again. Gradually, it beacme a reality, and finally, he was back at the top again with someone special in his life again, and towards the end, he would sit back and think happily that although his life was ending (or perhaps just beginning), some other fledging was about to take the long path which we can call "life." As I was telling this story to my girlfriend, something else on a much more REAL scale began to dawn upon me. All my life I was searching for "her", the person who meant the most to me. When I was a little younger, I thought I had found her, but once I was away at college, during that time when one discovers his or her true friends, she basically told me "I love you, goodbye."Her being out of my life was perhaps the most difficult thing I had to go through (ironically, SHE goes to my school as well- a twist of fate, I guess). And yet, I knew I had to move on, and grow up. Somehow, somewhere along the line, I found someone who has evolved into the exact perosn I was looking for since God knows when, and she was lying next to me holding me tightly. To have this concept dawn upon me was so incredible. At this point, it wasn't the drugs talking for me, it really was my pure emotions.I swear to God, it was the greatest feeling I've ever had- no drug can nor ever will do that to me. I am fully aware of the fact that my sense of accuracy is questionable, but do you knwo what? That's ok with me. Firstly, we are all open to our own interpretations of music (although I actually concur with the recent opinion posted back about how ACOS is more like a "rebellion against religion", as I'll call it), and secondly, it's just nor all that relevant. I'd just like to say that ACOS (directly or indirectly I'm uncertain) did something HUGE to me. Thank you all, and if Mr. Portnoy happens to catch this, THANK YOU!. Please do not reply to me personally, as i will terminate this ASAP. Put it on the jam. Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Oct 1995 22:29:20 -0500 (CDT) From: Kyle Mallett To: email_address_removed Subject: Trades Message-ID: I have been posting a lot lately, but I suppose that's what this thing IS for anyway. I have gotten some cool stuff lately. I am listeing to Queensryche playing Revolution, by the Beatles right now. The next song is Gimme Shelter by the Stones with Anne and Nancy Wilson of Heart on guest vocals. Before that was a live version of Anybody Listening? I also have a real good copy of a show they did in San Jose that was broadcast on the radio. As well, I have DT's Mind Control bootleg, the Ronnie Scott's show (the whole thing). I am looking for trades. I am interested in stuff by DT, King's X, Galactic Cowboys, echolyn, Rush (harder to find live versions), as well as any other stuff. E-mail me personally if you want to trade.

(Might have gotten to it sooner if it weren't for the five 'jams that seem to come in each day. ) About a month or so ago, as many of you know, Keith and I went to Monterey, CA. (Besides being the birthplace of the name "Dream Theater," it holds special sentimental value for us...) I knew some approximate directions to the theater (thanks Kevin and Jarrod!), so, as we drove into town on Lighthouse, I kept looking for the intersection for Prescott. I really didn't have to look that hard because, lo and behold, I looked off to the lefthand side of the road and saw a very psychedelic, Tiffany-esque (not the singer, the lamp maker ) sign reading The Dream Theater. We didn't stop by that evening, but we did plan to stop by the next day. Next morning, we stop by "the Dream," as it is affectionately called by the locals. Three sides of the building have similar signs to the one we saw while driving into town. The front of the building has a drawing of a woman's head, with her hair following out behind her head in a wave. Although the theater itself was not open yet, we did peek inside, through the glass panels in the door. *Very* interesting interior as well. It's sort of art deco meets psychedelica. There's all these old movie posters and funky patterned carpeting. I guess the imagery is kind of fitting, considering how our favorite band is - the unique mix. These days, it's an art house theater (they were showing "Unzipped" and the Italian film "The Postman"). In the past it was one of those mainstream theaters that showed a lot of midnight movies, like "The Wall." It's still a very beloved place, at least that's the impression we got from speaking with some of the locals. So, if you're ever in the area, check it out... --------------- I suppose I should direct this to Jen Albert... I've often wondered about the significance of some of the lyrics in "Lie," and since you know Kev, I thought maybe you could enlighten me. :) The lyric that really sticks in my head is "I wanna talk about lifelong mistakes, and you can tell your stepfather I said so." It seems really clear that Kevin is relating some personal experience, but what? --------------- What songs would you recommend for introducing a fan of Slayer, Metallica, et al to Dream Theater? Somebody I work with is really into this stuff, and his friend apparently purchased a Dream Theater album (I think it was "Awake") but re-sold it. This guy doesn't think he can ever get into Dream Theater because he and the friend have similar tastes. I figure it can't be hopeless because there's a number of 'jammers into pretty heavy stuff. (Not that I don't listen to this stuff at times, but, then I listen to almost everything...I'm starting to really appreciate Metallica because they sort of pioneered "thrash.") --------------- Almost done. Wanted to say hello to yet another FidoNet person, William W. We'll convert the PROGROCK guys to DT just yet! --------------- Mike Bahr: I think you should really call the next CD project "Mercy F*ck." I mean, the CD projects started with the 'jam, and that line has sort of become an inside joke! :D --------------- Okay, so it was a little long...I also haven't posted so much in the last month - deal with it! :) Jen -- "Could we see clearer in a virtual reality?" - Magellan "I am the beat of your pulse/the computer word made flesh" - Queensryche email_address_removed email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Oct 1995 23:58:07 -0500 (CDT) From: "Brian V.

It worked for you because I had to *manually* process your request because the software rejected your message's subject line! I've looked at the code. I've seen hundreds of these bounce. Do *NOT* include a command in the subject line! Use "asdf" or a blank line. Once again (yet again) the way to unsubscribe is to send: unsubscribe ytsejam to ytsejam-request@arastar.com with a subject of "asdf". If you put "unsubscribe" in the subject or send the request to ytsejam@arastar.com, the request will probably be silently rejected by the stupid software. So please follow the directions! :) -- Ken Bibb "If the boundary breaks I'm no longer alone email_address_removed Don't discourage me email_address_removed Bring out the stars/On the first day" David Sylvian--"The First Day" ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 1032 **************************
