Message-ID: Anyway, about the Malibu. I want you all to realize that I'm doing all this planning and direction-giving by memory. I haven't been on Long Island in 2 months. Okay, first: Let's make the pre-show thing definite. Let's plan on meeting at Roy Rogers in Long Beach at 5:30. This will give us all time to introduce ourselves, eat, get to the club, check our coats, get some drinks, and make our presence KNOWN directly in front of the stage! I understand that the show is on a weekday (Tues?) and as such, some of the locals won't make it to Roy's b/c of work. Well, that's ok, just wear your YJ shirt and meet us in front of the stage. Once again, directions to Roy's: Leave the Malibu parking lot and make a left (going west). Go straight for a mile to a mile and a half. You will encounter a huge intersection at Long Beach Blvd. There are signs there pointing you to a town called Rockville Centre (my hometown :) ). Roy's is on the far right corner, next to a movie theater. (Locals: please confirm! My memory is getting a little rusty!) BTW, I don't know where to park for Roy's. Then, after the show: Well, I'm still working on this one. The bar idea is out, because a lot of us are not of legal age yet. It's a funny thing, once you turn 23. You forget that some of your friends can't get into the bars yet! I don't know if Roy's will still be open. I also don't know if the people at Roy's will want to see us again. Or, for that matter, whether we want to eat that crap twice in one day! Those of you that are in the area, scout around, and see what's open at that hour, that we can all get into. The only place I can think of is another food joint in Oceanside (about a 10 min. drive from Malibu). Locals, I'm referring to Mr. Philly, on LB Rd. Great food, relatively cheap, open late. Alternative: If there aren't too many of us, I will look into reserving my firehouse in Rockville Centre (about 20-30 min. from Malibu). We can drink there, but you all MUST promise: Minors won't drink, and nobody will drive drunk. Also, sleeping at the firehouse is STRICTLY prohibited. Alternative #2: Somebody, and I forget who, mentioned a pre-party at his place in Kings Park. I don't mean to impose, but would you be up for hosting a post-party? This would be cool for me, b/c I could crash at my drummer's place in Kings Park (who will also be at the show). Obviously, if not, then we won't. No pressure meant here - if you can't do it, don't do it. Just an idea. (Besides, Kings Park is about an hour's drive northeast of the club.) Post publicly for the benefit of all, but please e-mail me personally about 1)Roy's: good idea/bad idea/can't make it; 2)post-party: Philly's is cool/I have a better idea/can't make it. I didn't mean to take charge of everyone's plans for that night, but I want to meet you guys (and girls). I hope that this will be fun for all. As you e-mail me, I'll post a tally as to who's coming and dissenting opinions.

Maybe not. Let me tell you something, it can break >your self-esteem, and it has broken mine, and I'm really sick of it. i am a musician, but not pro or even semi-pro. never played in a bar, but in basements and garages. i play not to be appreciated (looking for approval) but rather for the love of music. i hope you do it for the same reason, even if you do play for money. sorry, but i don't think i need to be in your exact situation to understand. i am a visual artist (you're a musical artist) and i see this same sort of mindset in the masses. that's the way the world turns. but it's people like us who want to follow our hearts and do what makes us happy, and hopefully, in turn, enlighten other people. as artists, if we want to succeed on any level, we must have the perseverence of a thousand (a thousand _what_? i don't know). yeah, there are always setbacks, discouragers, periods of self-doubt, and so on. but the feelings that accompany these things are _your_ responses; they are internal. you cannot blame external things for your feelings (easier said than done, i know, but i am practising and succeeding with this different approach). and that's why i don't see how bashing _any_ other bands is the way to go. no matter _how_ bad they really are :) in fact, it's this dwelling on the negatives that will _not_solve your problems. if you really love what you're doing then stick with it. but if you don't like the self-imposed or very real competitiveness of the biz or can't earn a living doing it, then maybe it's time to look to something else... just my thoughts. -- Cam Wilson * illustrator * graphic designer * sorta guitarist camw@bnr.ca -- "this message is brought to you by my humble opinion" Rush * Yes * Dream Theater * Guinness Stout * Ray Bradbury ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Oct 1995 15:33:05 +0200 From: email_address_removed.fi (Antti Nyrhinen) To: email_address_removed Subject: Blind Melon death.. Message-ID: This is mainly in response to The Digital Man, who posted a long message about the dignity of life and our adolescent tongue-in-cheek attitudes to this whole thing.. I agree that the loss of a human life is always very tragic, especially if the person was young, like Shannon Doon (sp?) was. However, people die all the time, and here on the jam and everywhere else we just have to keep on smiling and cracking jokes. We can't let stuff like that get to us, there is just too much pain and agony everywhere. I personally didn't find it disgusting that many of us Ytsejammers first thought of the funny coincidence of Blind Melon being brought up again on the list and this untimely death of their lead singer.. It is very ironic, and I found the jokes about this (especially Trey Allen's funny newspaper article :)) if not amusing, at least understandable. So, in conclusion, the death of this person was very tragic, but tragic deaths are so common that we shouldn't be immensely shocked just because the victim was a musician and whatever. To say that we put this list and Dream Theater itself into shame is grossly overreacting, if you ask me. That's it, I won't post more about Blind Melon, and hopefully this list will get back to DT business in the near future.

Message-ID: Yes, we all know that Shannon Hoon was dead? Was he the guy who ridiculed DT? I don't think so. His bandmates did, he didn't. Saying that your glad he's dead just shows that you are heartless, and incosiderate. If a member of DT said something that conflicted with your views on a certain type of music would you be going off on him for weeks? No. Would you be happy if one of the other members that had nothing to do with the comment dies? No again. Just because Shannon Hoon happened to be in the same band as those guitarists who slammed DT, doesn't mean that he shared their opinions, like it matters anyway, he was a human being. So to all of you who have nothing better to do than whine all day because guys in Blind Melon slammed DT, GROW THE FUCK UP! People have a right to opinion, deal with it, not everyone appreciates the music as you. William G. Starner PS Sorry my first post is a negative one, but this BM thing is getting way out of hand and it had to be said. Personally I love the music of DT AND Blind Melon, you shouldn't let what musicians do on their own time affect your opinion on the music itself, music is first. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Oct 1995 09:18:00 -0400 From: "cam (c.s.) wilson" To: email_address_removed Subject: this crappy YTSEJAM Message-ID: <"14291 Mon Oct 23 09:53:34 1995"@bnr.ca> i'm relatively new to the Jam, and never would have thot it would be like this. the juvenile factor is _way_ too high here for me. some of you may be young, others may not be so young and may just be mentally stunted. in either case, it's no excuse. i thot DT would warrant an intellectually stimulating discussion forum, with some fun stuff thrown in. talk a bit about their music, the band, shows and cds, meeting place, whatever. i could never have anticipated the level that discussion has sunk to: blind melon this and blind melon that, punk sux, kevin's got cancer, female guitarists suck, DT's a hair band, grunge blows, the list goes on. the best i can look forward to is the latest update on Mike Bahr's CD mailout, and i can't even afford to check out one of those cool-sounding CDs. i'll give this forum another (really short) chance, and if people aren't going to grow up (even a little bit), then you'll be losing a subscriber. and i know i won't be the only one. there've been numerous posts by Jammers that have indicated disgust with the tone of the posts on the jam. get with it, people. have some tolerance and respect. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Oct 1995 09:11 CDT From: email_address_removed (Jacobsen, CNTR Steven A.)

In a way, I do. I'd never tell DT that I'd kick their ass, though. They'd probably kick mine if I tried it. If they did drugs when they write any of their songs, I would lose what respect I have for them as musicians and for their work. As for the Blind Melon singer, I have to admit that I don't feel too bad about it, but it doesn't make me want to smile either. I never cared for their music or for Nirvana's when Kurt killed himself for that matter. I just hope the media doesn't go overboard like it did with Kurt, but then when doesn't the media do this in the US? rq ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Oct 1995 10:36:09 -0400 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: It's Long, Ugly, & Offensive.

That would be me, with the =). Fine. Maybe my personal views on death differ from yours. Death is NOT a bad thing. It's gotten such a bad rap these days. Besides, who wants to stick around this rat-infested shit hole of a planet longer than we absolutely have to anyway? The only shame in this is that he produced a child, and then went and O.D'ed. Idiot. We're supposed to have respect for someone who treats his kid & the kid's mother like that? Yeah, you do that. Offensive? What about Ted Nugent making the statement "I'm so glad Kurt Cobain is dead." Did THAT offend you? I didn't get offended - I was glad too! And, I hope Courtney follows soon after, and the state puts their kid in a good foster home. (Thus ends the list of what me & Ted Nugent agree on.) >I hope you realize what kind of image you could be giving to everyone >as toward what DT fans are like. Um, I hope you didn't overlook the fact that not everyone agrees on everything, just because we're fans of a particular band. We're also INDIVIDUALS. And, what - we're supposed to represent a "moral standard" because of the band that we like? I DON'T THINK SO.

Middleton" To: email_address_removed Subject: New London, CT Message-ID: Yes, a lurker comes out. This is the first time I've written to the 'jam, but I figured I'd better, since I work in New London. I got my tickets to the concert Saturday night while I was at the El 'N' Gee to see the Reducers (check out the home page: http://ae.vitro.com:8000/Reducers/HomeTable.html) I have 2 suggestions for a gathering place. The first is Mr. G's. This is in New London, just a few minutes from the El'N'Gee. It's not the classiest place, but the food is good (pizza, grinders, pasta), prices very reasonable, and it's large enough to hold a big group. I don't think a group reservation would be required, but a call ahead to warn them would be polite. There is a separate bar area, but the dining area is all ages, with alcohol served on both sides. It is on Williams St, just down from Connecticut College and very close to the off-ramps of both I-95 North and South. The number is (860) 447-0400 The other place is G.Willikers. This is very similar to a T.G.I.Friday's, and is likely to be VERY crowded at 5pm during the holiday season! The food selection is larger, but prices are larger also. We would definitely have to book a reservation with an exact number in advance. This place is across the Thames River in Groton, so it's a little farther, but still only about a 10-min drive from the El'N'Gee. The number for this place is (860)445-8043. BTW - The ticket vouchers I got had Dream Theater spelled correctly, but the concert listing at the club had it as "Theatre". I hope they take that down before the guys see it!! -Meghan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Meghan A.

I noted that at least three of these messages expressed some kind of positive reaction to this. I have eight words for you people: WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU??? This is a HUMAN LIFE we are talking about here! Somebody commented that he "didn't give a rat's ass about someone who acted the way he did" and that he wished some of the other band members would follow. Praytell, what major offensive moral infraction did Shannon Hoon commit? Was he a ruthless dictator of a third-world country? A serial rapist? A child molester? Oh, I'm sorry; that's right--a couple of his bandmates made fun of your favorite band! Oh, the humanity! If I'm correct, his death is also going to leave a child fatherless. But that's okay, right? His band didn't like Dream Theater; they're not worthy of life...you make me fucking sick. --ROb ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Oct 1995 12:49:26 -0400 (EDT) From: John Petrucci To: email_address_removed Subject: Shannon Hoon Message-ID: "Death is the first dance, eternal." May Shannon Hoon rest in peace. ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 1068 **************************
