To: email_address_removed Subject: Operation: Revolution Message-ID: Attention fellow 'Jammers I'm sure that many of the people on the list are or have been on Shag's Screaming in Digital Queensryche e-zine. In his latest issue (October), he makes mention of a campaign that I think will interest my fellow DT fanatic's. The following is a quote from SiD: "Since the cancellation of Headbanger's Ball last season, MTV has broadcast very few metal videos. A group of metal fans - led, of course, by Queensryche fans " (and at least one DT fan) "have initiated a campaign to get MTV's attention and request more metal. The project, called Operation: Revolution, aims to have as many people as possible send MTV messages on Halloween, asking that Headbanger's Ball be put back on the air, and that more metal videos be played during prime time. MTV's e-mail address is email_address_removed. The campaign will 'go public' with announcements on dozens of music newsgroups on October 19th. If you want to help spread the disease, e-mail 'Mick' at email_address_removed." On another front of the operation, my cohorts within the group have requested that we also call in on Halloween to request a radically different video for the MTV "Most Wanted" show. Please remember to write in AND call in, not one or the other. Voting for which song to request currently leans toward "Anybody Listening?". The idea is to request a song that is not too new (Disconnected) and not too old and overplayed (Empire). Queensryche songs are being targeted for the significance of where this movement started. Being a long time subscriber to the 'Jam, I've seen numerous posts criticizing, and rightly so, MTV for them not giving air play to DT, QR and the other groups that we all love so much. I hope I'm not alone in believing that it's time for this nonsense to stop. By having all 1000+ of you get behind this movement, we will show the idiots at MTV that there are other forms of music besides rap, dance and the latest, greatest fad music that people like and will support. Also in doing so, we can help our favorite band get more exposure and attracting new fans. With all due respect to the recent thread concerning sell-outs and keeping DT our "own little secret", this movement can do nothing but help DT in the long run. By showing our support for this music, maybe MTV and the record companies will realize that prog is more popular than they ever thought and they will start to promote these bands accordingly. Enough preaching, I think (hope is more like it) you all get my meaning. For more information, e-mail me directly at email_address_removed or Mick at email_address_removed.

Elbow? whatever Message-ID: Howdy folks! I vaguely remember reading JP's response to Blind whatever's statement about technically amazing and otherwise killer guitar playing. It was great! JP was so professional about it- he just said y'know that's a shame that BL/M/w has a hard time appreciating other music, I mean, just because I play rock guitar doesn't mean that I don't listen to other stuff and appreciate other music. This response, to me, was superb in that he did not jump down their throats. He just simply, professionally, and casually blew them off, not even getting pulled into their unappreciative attitudes. It kind of reminded me of Neil Peart's intellingent reply to accusations of Satanism (ooh!). To make a long post short: As subscribers to the Ytsejam we represent DT. Whether you like it or not, whenever you wear DT shirts or whatever, you sort of represent DT. If, while wearing a DT shirt you killed your neighbor and some old lady saw you, she could easily jump to conclusions about DT's music and their fans. If random people bitch about DT, let 'em. They have not the patience or the skill to appreciate good music. We don't need to get upset about someone else's problem.

Of course, with the start (or re-start, depending on how long you've been on the jam) of this thread, my sick mind came up with these pronunciations: yahtzee-jam (throw the dice, or Roll the Bones, for Rush fans) yipes-jam (picture daffy duck in a Robin Hood outfit, swinging from a rope in a tree - "Yipes, and away!") yatchs-jam (jam session on a big sailboat) Itsy-Bitsy- spider-jam (goes with the "it's a jam") Yeats-jam (this version has lyrics, but no music) yutz-jam (sp) (Yiddish) yeast-jam (Bread or beer, take your pick) eats-a-jam (what some mail servers do whan you have too many ytsejams!) Well, that ought to be good enough for now.

Queensryche Fates Warning Roger Water's Pink Floyd (none of this new stuff) 70's KISS ;) The Cure Ok, so what they're not all metal. ;) Also, Maiden should be on my list, except for the fact that ever since 'Seventh Son' they managed to screw up.

Message-ID: Okay, waitaminnit. When I asked people to not mail me "are we there yet mommy" messages about their CDs, I didn't mean to convey the message that ALL mail I get that isn't a CD order is wasteful, or that I dont like reading mail, or that I don't like the Jam. None of these are true. I love hearing from ALL of you. I don't care if it's to talk about music, DT, Rush, Magic, movies, concerts, or whatever. It dosen't matter how much mail is in my inbox... you have no idea how cool it is to get a piece of mail that _isn't_ business after all the (very necessary) mail that _is_. Naturally, CD orders get my first attention, because I try to be as semi-professional as I can about this whole CD thing. After all, if I ignored orders and waffled on deliveries and never came through for you, what would I be? Jeremy Haynes. (heheh sorry, cheap shot, had to take it). The ONLY mail that does absolutely NOTHING for me is "why haven't I got my CD yet??" Now if you were number 45 and I say I'm up to 300, then maybe it's a legit time to worry. But otherwise, what am I supposed to say or do? "Well, I sent it, and it's in the mail. When will it get to you? Hell, I don't know, maybe if I sent it like a credit card bill, it would be delivered immediately, instead of taking too long like all packets seem to." So please, by all means, speaketh and be heard. I'm a connossieur of fine beers, lagers, liquers, and ale. I just can't stand _whine_. :) Cardz Corner: I noticed someone asked if all the AD and Subcon money was going to Magic cards... believe me, it'd be nice (I'd own every card ever MADE by now!) but I need to use the money from each project to fund the next one. One day I'll quit and I'll be ahead, but it's really just breaking even because back when I made Subcon I paid for it myself. The only reason I have all these obscure cards is because I was lucky enough to get into it from the beginning, when a friend turned me on to "this wild new card game" back in the winter of 1993. :) I play all the time, so I'd be glad to challenge a few Jammers next time we have a GT. You walk into a room to find only a dead man, shot through the head, a table, and fifty-three bicycles on the floor. What happened? Dream Theater-related bands... I have recently picked up a few CDs of interest... most of you already own these, I know, but for the few that do not, go ahead and pick them up. I was resisting it this whole time because I didn't want to invest in Yet Another Band, but I think we've got a pair of winners: Fates Warning - Chasing Time Echolyn - As The World "The clock on the wall... ticking awaaaaaaayyyyyyy..."

Message-ID: I just got tickets to see DT at the Malibu on Dec. 28. I'm so psyched, this is going to be my first time seeing them. If there's anyone who lives anywhere near Commack on the Island and knows how to get to Malibu it would be really cool if you could e-mail directions. What a freakin' awesome birthday present: DT tickets! Sorry, I'm a little too excited. Since every body is writing in their 5 favorite guitarists I might as well say mine. 1. John Petrucci (he never ceases to amaze me) 2. Randy Rhoads (I just got the digitally remastered edition of Tribute: friggin' awesome. Who knows what he might have done if he was still here) 3. George Lynch (You may not like Dokken, but he does some cool shit e.g. Mr. Scary from their live album) 4. Ty Tabor (I'm suprised no one has mentioned him with as many King's X fans there seems to be on the list. He's got his own unique sound and style) 5. Eric Johnson (Cliffs of Dover, nuff said) I'm not saying these guys are the top five, I know about the Vais and the Malmsteens and quite a few others, these are just my personal favorites. If anyone's got those directions I'd really appreciate it. My address is email_address_removed. Later jammers. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Oct 1995 19:10:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Ben Kobashigawa To: Dream Theater Subject: Favorites Message-ID: I guess my favorite groups after Dream Theater would have to be: 1. Pink Floyd (comes a close second. . .with Roger Waters) 2. Berlin Philharmonic (comes a close third, with Karajan or Abbado) 3. Genesis (namely--"we can't dance") 4. Rush 5. Blues Traveler 6. I do like the music (as well as the comedy) to "No Cure for Cancer" with Dr. Denis Leary. There's one part of the ACOS that I don't like. I don't have it with right now, but here goes nothing: Oh come let us adore him, abuse him, and then ignore him. That just grates my ears. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Oct 1995 20:14:36 -0600 (MDT) From: William Kriski To: email_address_removed Subject: Poor guy broke up with his girlfriend.. Message-ID: To that guy who just broke up with his girlfriend: Sorry to hear it man. Instead of getting depressed with cheesy slow songs, I'd suggest getting angry...it feels good. Pick up Dokken's Tooth and Nail which has some cool tunes (Girlfriend has no heart, lying, cheating, etc...) . How about Savatage's "I don't think about you anymore" tune? FW is also good for this ("Leave the past behind", "Point of View") Glad I could help.

Message-ID: Mike Portnoy called AGAIN just to say hello and chat for a while! Man, I really _am_ stoked about this. I hope someone is printing Jams for him since he specifically requested it, said that he totally enjoys reading them and dosen't have a net account to get to them himself. I tell you, this is really classy. He told me what all of DT was currently up to, which is no real news. They're heading over to Japan this weekend to vacation and then play 3 shows (all sold out!) on 10/26, 28, and 30. Mike will continue doing drum shows throughout November in the West (yippee!) including 2 DEFINITE dates in L.A. and a possible one in Phoenix. I plan to attend the ones in LA. Any Californian Jammers wanna meet up and do some boot trading? Then there will be THREE Christmas shows... the 28th, 29th, and 30th, in Old Bridge, Deer Park, and Conneticut. Then they set to work on their new album. Everyone congratulate John Petrucci... he's now a father. (I think that already got announced.) Anyway he asked about what the net thought of ACOS. I told him that aside from everyone missing the "Please Don't Go" part, that the reaction was pretty much positive across the board. Apparently I'm also sending him some copies of Cygnus, since he was interested. He said that the other members of the band would dig it too, just as long as it wasn't a bootleg of _them_. How cool! :) We chatted about this and that, but that's the gist of it, he wanted to thank all of you for your support. We agree that rock is in a downtrend right now and that when they bounce back up, DT will probably be really grateful to have a core of fans like us. Everyone take care!

One is a studio version with Charlie - another is the live acoustic version with just James and John - and the 3rd is a studio version with James. I have one of the Nightwatch Radio show tapes with Mike P and they play about 1 minute of the the James studio version and he sounds incredible!!!

The band consists of me, Steve Z, and Matt Lyons (email_address_removed - still a lurker!! - speak up Matt!!!). Hey, we even did a version of Wanted Dead or Alive with the pitch shifted vocals like the DT version, we MUST be cool! :) Know of any bass players in the Baltimore area who would want to be in a DT-ish band??

Message-ID: Okay, so everyone is really getting into this "favorvite bands, other than DT" thread. I've sort of avoided it because five choices is just too constrictive. :/ (Oh, and, yes, this thread has been brought up before - old-timers know this - but I can think of a great number of threads/questions that get resurrected on occasion...) Anyhow, people who come by to visit are typically impressed by the combined music collection of Keith and I because A) it's a lot of stuff, and B) it's a wide variety of stuff.

Of course, he said "yes" and that ticket master is selling them. First thing Monday morning i called Ticketmaster and ordered them. There are five of us going and on the way meeting two other friends who live in Wilkes-Barre, PA. So, yes, TM is selling tix. I'm pretty sure their # in NY is 888-9000. I hope that's right, it's been since monday morning. Could the person selling Ytsejam t-shirts e-mail me about what's left? For those who bought the shirt, wear it to the show so fellow jammers will recognize you. (maybe we can greet each other with some secret handshake-- he he).

Someone listed Meshuggah in their top 5 list, and then someone else asked for more info. Since Meshuggah will probably interest many ytsejammers, and not only that one person, I'll post this on the list and not to that specific person.. Meshuggah is a Swedish death metal band.. Their playing is intense and complicated.. The vocals are screaming or growling, with a somewhat electric feeling to them.. I guess they used a harmonizer or something. It's darn heavy, so if Rush and Echolyn are your fave bands after DT, I wouldn't actually recommend Meshuggah.. Their drummer is completely nuts, if you thought Dream Theater was hard to mosh to or tap your feet to, try Meshuggah.. It's out of this world. Weird and wonderful time sigs and rhythms, they'll blow you away.. But, as I said, unfortunately the immense degree of intensity and heaviness along with the death growl vocals will keep most of you guys away from this band.. Their latest album is called "Destroy Erase Improve".. If complex death metal interests you, this is a total must-buy. -- Antti Nyrhinen --- "Gather Ye rosebuds while you may" Turku, Finland --- email_address_removed.fi DreamTheaterPanteraSentencedEtc. ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 1049 **************************
