Her primary keyboard was the KORG T-1 and it had great sounds. She also has a Roland R-50 and a R-80 with updated sound module. We did covers and originals. She played everything from keyboard leads to rhythm guitar parts on these boards. Go to a dealer and have them show you what is new. These boards are older and new products get released everyday!

I would have thought James would have acted different than > that. -Maybe the rest of the band has changed their outlook on botlegs. I mean, if it hadn't been for bootlegs versions of ACoS, many of us wouldn't have heard the song, and petitioned for it's release. -The credits do thank us "On-Line Ytsejammers" for making the recording possible. If not for bootlegs, it wouldn't have. -John ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 18:31:54 +0000 From: Tim Spear To: email_address_removed Subject: UK Jammers unite! :-) Message-ID: >There's me- Patricia in Surrey, there's Graham in Glasgow, Chris >in Cambridge.

It seems this album is fairly rare, perhaps only released in Japan seen occasionally in the US at $20-$40, or from the 'CDnow' web page. This description was sent: This CD was recorded as a Japanese movie soundtrack after "Captured" and before "Escape". It's a beautiful mix of Jazz drumming (of course), screaming guitar (at parts), entire string and brass sections, and, in my opinion, some of Steve Perry's best vocals. Thanks again Patricia ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 13:00:44 -0800 (PST) From: El Arbitro To: email_address_removed Subject: Bill & Ted Message-ID: I know we have stooped to a new low when we start analyzing Bill and Ted, but Ijust had to bring this up.

Yeah, I try to play some cassical, even though I'm mainly a shredder. I took an old rental acoustic and through some nylons on it. I'm trying to teach myself theory too.

Thought I'd share it with all you Queensryche fans out there. It's on EMI Records' page : http://emirec.com:80/qryche/cdrom/.

THIS IS NOT A TABLATURE SCORE! this is what you were to read if you sat at the piano with this. i played this for jp at the ngsw after his jam session (while he was packing up, and he believed it to be very accurate), so this is no rinky-dink deal. interested? please send me the following: -a check for $2 made out to me, david kobayashi -a self addressed stamped envelope (preferably a manila envelope, which although it is a pain in the ass, at least your music won't be folded. send the above materials to: (before january 25) (after january 25) david kobayashi david kobayashi 170-09 cedarcroft road binghamton university jamaica estates, ny 11432 hillside community #14239 po box 6014 binghamton, ny 13902-6014 any questions/comments? email me, feel free. thanks and see ya. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 18:51:05 -0500 (EST) From: Dan Tshin To: email_address_removed Subject: Midi and DT Message-ID: Hi, I've got a question for MIDI musicians using PCs. Which DT songs are transcribed on MIDI and where can I get them. I've ftp'd under a Glass Moon before. I'm also getting an AWE32 this weekend, so I want to hear it again with wavetable samples. I know that there are many RUSH midi files for use on the net, but of what quality are they? I've also heard about some .MOV file. where can I get that? BTW: I'd appreciate it if anyone would be able to recommend some good 1) Midi sequencers, notation programs 2) Guitar Tab notators, .... via EMAIL to ME, please! Thx.

Message-ID: Hello fellow fans of the best band in the Universe! If you like Dream Theater and Doom2, you may be very interested in this post: I create my own custom levels for the PC game DOOM2. Most of what I make are made specifically for awesome "DeathMatch" showdown levels, but my latest effort is going to have new twist to it...a Dream Theater twist! The level is about 20% complete (a LOT of hours go into this production) but here are some of the highlights you can expect to find if you order it from me: Actual graphics of the band, like CD covers, will replace some of the wall textures. Some of the sounds will be replaced by sounds from DT songs. When the player screams from being shot, it will no longer be the scream from the game, it will be a genuine James LaBrie scream! When you enter the "spider web" room, instead of the door opening sounding like a door, you'll here the chorus "Caught in a Web...". Etc....The rest is a surprise. The level will not be complete for another 2 weeks, but you can sign up for your copy in advance by emailing me at: email_address_removed I will respond to your email with more details......Dave ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 19:00:32 -0500 From: Dave To: email_address_removed Subject: More DtDoom (Re: YTSEJAM digest 1223) Message-ID: I forgot to mention one Doom2 level that I already have out, and it's free to you if you request it in my email....I made a Queensryche level. It's not very fancy, in that it doesn't have custom sounds or actual Ryche images in it. I made the sectors out of the bands logo (the "bat like" symbol), and it actually comes down from the cieling and can crush you in one of the rooms! heheheh Also: I NEED A DREAM THEATER SONG IN MIDI FORMAT to use in my new DT level...can anyone help??? email_address_removed (Dave) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Jan 1996 01:14:32 +0100 From: Thomas Prehn To: email_address_removed Subject: Fates Warning Message-ID: [attribution marks added--kbibb] > well, i have more or less listened to the "chasing time" cd as i was > recommended, and i have to say............i'm a bit disappointed.

"Monument" has some keyboards in it, but there's no key-player in the band). > some of tunes just seemed to be way too long (or at least feel that way). the > 1st 2 songs reflect this opinion.

It's quite simple, really, Petrucci uses a seven-string > Ibanez, and Myung, various six-string basses, both of which posses a low B. Is this "seven-string-thing" only used on "Awake" and "Acos"? It dosn't sound like these instruments was used on "IAM"! > And anyway, what's wrong with down-tuning? King's X does it all the time! Nothing's wrong at all!

Among them are La Villa Strangiato and Jacob's Ladder. Has anyone heard of any others he is planning to record or what other artists are planning on doing? If so, I'd be interested.
