What's that? Are they good? hehehe...I *had* to throw them in... They are a band that I work with here in Dayton, Ohio.

So basically they are a metal band with some thrash, speed, and prog influences...and they're Christians. They are currently unsigned, but have been shopping their demo and contacting several labels (REX, Intense, etc). They plan to be performing at next years Michigan Mosh Fest (Memorial Day weekend), which I'll be helping out at (and wearing GC and DT shirts...ok, some more DTC).

Message-ID: Hello Jammmers, I just thought that I would share something that I've been meaning to for a long time. A while back I was listening to one of the local "we want to be just like MTV" radio stations in my car....(my sister was in the car and she is into all that.....no flames please).....it was the afternoon and the daily traffic report was on.....now, you know how they usually play music underneath the report to make it a little more interesting? Well they were doing it here.....It was a little bass and drum thing ending in kind of a guitar volume swell.....now I knew I recognized it yet I didn't know from where (mostly because I couldn't here it well because of the woman talking over it).....as the report went on I found myself saying a few words after the swell thing happened they were:"Hold it now, Wait a minute, Come on....etc." That's right the traffic report was playing DT underneath!!!!! I got very excited at this and was under the false impression that this radio station would actually play DT wrong....They kinda blew me off when I went home and requested TTT. I know I sound like I'm rambling and I probably am....but I just thought it was funny that they would use DT as background music and not good enough to play (or that they are too good to play on that station IMO) in regular rotation. In a simalar vien...those Jammers in the PHila. radio listening area (I'm from Trenton NJ) listen to 93.3 WMMR every Fri. at Midnight. It's thier rockers show. It kicks much ass. Last week they played the ZEP MEDLEY from ACOS. well enough rambling for now, Ryan Inverso PS for those of you wondering what the SUBJECT ment....It's a private joke between myself and another jammer......Got your attention didn't it Styles... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Oct 1995 23:50:32 +0100 From: email_address_removed.co.uk To: email_address_removed Subject: RE: Ytse friends Message-ID: <"3725*/I=P/S=McLoughlin/OU=bra0108/O=icl/PRMD=icl/ADMD=gold 400/C=GB/"@MHS> As I sit here late at work (11/30pm) to catch up on all the jams and listen to my walkman, I am so glad that I came in as I read all the amusing jams, you really are a witty bunch.

Luke is a bad shredder, he can play almost anything, listen to his latest solo album "Candyman" it's a mixture of Hard rock, Blues and Fusion. ... this leads into drummers and Lukes new partner in crime: Simon Philips, Listen to the track "Party in Simons pants" on the above mentioned album to get a glimpse of his talent. Try to catch Steve and Simon with their hobby band "Los Lobotomys" live... Kicks ass. GROUPS ------------- Those of You who'd like to check out SAGA be sure listen to their early stuff. SAGA, Images at Twilight, Silent Knight (IMO their best), Worlds Apart, In Transit (Live), I haven't heard Gen. 13 but their previous one did not impress me.

(adapted from a guitar mag (practicing musician?) ) Mike Bahr, bless his poor soul, has died and gone to heaven. He walks up to the Pearly Gates with his guitar in hand and is STOKED! He hears all this jamming going on, DT on the radio and PA, and life is just great. St. Peter greets Mike and tells him he has been a good person through out life. He notes that this is mainly due to the many DT fans he has brought such joy to by the many bootlegs he has contributed to society. St Peter informs Mike that (somehow) all the great guitarists have made it here also; Hendrix, Pettruci, Vai, Van Halen, Santana, E. Johnson, Lifeson, and many more. Mike inquieres about Malmsteen (in Mikes opinion, one the best of all!). St Peter gets a grave look on his face and replies,"No MIkek I'm afraid he didn't make it." Well Mike gets his bags and amp and goes to his room when all of the sudden he hears the familiar neo-classical lightnigh fast smooth as butter chops that could only come from non other than the incredible Malmsteen. So Mike runs down to Peter again and says "Peter, Malmsteen IS here! I just heard him!" Petee replies, "No I'm afraid he isn't...sorry mike :( . So Mike, feeling sad once agian, goes to his room when again he hears the incredibly clean picked neo-classical sounds that he loves so. Once again Mike rushes down to St Peter and again exclaims that he has heard Malmsteen. St Peter looks at Mike with eyes of grief and says again that Malmsteen didn't make it to heaven. Mike, feeling very confused, thinks for a minute and then asks who the sounds in the next room are coming from. St. Peter, with a very worried look on his face replies hesitantly "Well Im not suppose to tell, but, its God. He thinks he's Malmsteen!

Wow, that was cool... so I had to look up "amaranth" and it read: amaranth n. 1) any of a genus of plants in the amaranth family, usually with colorful leaves and, in some species, showy, tassellike heads of flowers, as the love-lies-bleeding, pigweed, tumbleweed, etc. 2) [Poet.] an imaginary flower that never fades or dies. 3) a dark purplish red.

As great a guitarist as he is, I don't think that that's his greatest gift. I think what Steve Vai is best at is getting sounds on tape. I mean, think about it. Yeah, he's written some amazing songs ("For the Love of God", "Sisters"), but imagine, for instance, Satch recording Vai's songs. He'd probably get the tones (of home? Sorry, couldn't resist) and the lines right, but it wouldn't sound the same. The way Vai records is phenomenal. I would absolutely kill to get him as my studio engineer. He must know everything there is to know about studio toys - effects, gates, whatever those cool things are that make us sound good on tape. They make him sound incredible! Ever see him live? As good as he is, he doesn't compare to his albums. I don't mena the DLR albums or the Whitesnake album (remember that?). I mean his stuff - P&W, Flex-able, etc. That stuff kills!

Its as though it doesn't make an impression on me. After listening to Pull Me Under, I'm ready for TTT and Metropolis. Surrounded comes between, and I always think, "Oh yeah, this is a great song too", but Another Day leaves me with nothing. Just an opinion.

(I have absolutely no musical ability, so I don't know what he's talking about.) Here's the first paragraph from the lesson, though. Want to know a remarkably simple way to sound hip? Just lift your index finger off of the B and E strings when playing a major barre chord, allowing them to ring out (I'm assuming that most of you know how to play barre chords). Yes, friends, adding nothing but the open E and B strings to a major barre chord will drastically change its makeup and expand its harmonic function. Plus, as an extra bonus, not having to barre the chord makes it a cinch to finger.

Last year, after Kevin left the band, someone started a rumor about him having AIDS and that being the real reason he left the band. This person also claimed to have "confirmed" reports from Kevin's friends & relatives. Of course, this wasn't the case. When I told Kevin about it, he laughed his ass off. Yet many people believed it because this person stated it so emphatically as "the truth." Why someone would start such a horrible rumor, I have no idea. Just bored, I guess. :/ The point being, Kevin looked quite healthy the last time I saw him and he's never mentioned anything to me or anyone else I know who knows him about having an "advanced" state of cancer, or any other disease for that matter. I guess anything is _possible_ considering I haven't actually asked Kevin about this point blank, but I suggest taking this rumor as just that, and add a generous helping of salt while you're at it. Seth Dasman, or Greg Gasser, or whoever you are at "email_address_removed," you have an open invitation to e-mail me privately to explain the origins of your "sources" who gave you these "confirmed reports." Kev's practically bald now because he's going for a different image & it's hot in LA in the summer, not because his hair all fell out from chemotherapy, ok? :) Hang tight people.
