The other guitarist in my band ordered one about a month ago... it should be here soon... just tell me what you need to know and I'll ask him when he gets it. BTW... I had an intersting dream having to do with DT I just wanted to share... I dream that they appeard on Letterman(obviously I had just read that post on the'jam) and they played (don't laugh) a Rage Against the Machine song... it wasn't actually a song I had heard before but in the dream I recognized it as a RATM song... anyways, and I'm ashamed to say it, they sucked... i think it's because my mind can't even come close to imagining LaBrie rapping... another interesting note... James was holding the mic with a closed fist instead of his usual 'hang loose' grip... well anyways they were so bad that I thimk Dave started to make some jokes in the middle of the song and then all of a sudden Boyz II Men came out and stareted to sing... GOD WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!! Anyways... sorry to take up your time w/ this useless dream... I just had to share it...later ----------------------------------------- If you're ever eating hot coal, swallow it fast or else you'll burn your tongue.

Petrucci explains it all on the liner notes in the GPM cd... > -Is he the "Sheriff of Huddersfield", I wonder? > -Oh, sorry, I'm thinking of Rod Smallwood. > -John HEEEEEEEEELLOOOO.. allow me to introdeuce meself... cool song..:) ----------------------------------------- If you're ever eating hot coal, swallow it fast or else you'll burn your tongue. DEEP THOUGHTS by Ernie email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jan 1996 23:05:08 -0600 From: email_address_removed (Mark Staggs) To: email_address_removed Subject: David Letterman Message-ID: Hi, this is my first posting here. I've mainly been a lurker. But I think the David Letterman idea is great, and my letter is going out tomorrow. I also have a question. I live in Arkansas, and I know that DT has never came through this area, but there are a BUNCH of DT fans in the around here. This past summer a Queensryche concert sold out w/in days in Little Rock, and I know a DT concert would sell out quicker. To get to the question, does anyone know any future tour dates or the chances of DT coming to Memphis or Little Rock?

I can't believe the number of you that have gotten > back stage to talk to DT live [deleted] I know at least one 'jammer got a backstage pass during the _Awake_ tour when DT came to The Warfield in SFO. What a bunch of us did, however, is waited near the back door and bus (around the block) for a few hours after the show. Granted, the crowd dwindled down to less than 1/4 of what it was (it was a little wet sometimes), but we got to meet everybody from DT plus some of the Fates guys. Derek came out after less than an hour, but the rest of them didn't come out 'till almost 3 hours later, but it was worth it.

Is it still in print? How about that German import of Lie? I think it has Learning to Live and another non-album track on it. By the way, how do those MIDI files work...I doubt my dinosaur of a "computer" could handle it. Can anyone recommend a good King Crimson album to get? For those of you who were hearing something different in Track 5 of Awake, where James says, "Thought Disorder," I hear what you mean, but that's not what he's saying. As far as classical musicians, I play assistant principle upright bass in a local audition only youth symphony. There is something to be said for most kinds of music, classical being one of them. "Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting / Twentieth century icon bleeding / Willing to risk Salvation / to escape from isolation" "Don't expect your own Messiah / This neverworld which you desire / is only in your mind."

Kotzian" To: email_address_removed (Ytsejam ) Subject: Shadow Gallery Question Message-ID: Shadow Gallery Fans, My roommate and I believe that the tapping sounds on Shadow Gallery's "Carved in Stone" track 20, are some sort of code. If so, has, or can, anybody figure it out? Please, email me directly with any info.

I'm not sure what happened. :) This is regarding my previous posting about where some of the samples in Space Dye Vest came from. I'd mentioned that I'd heard the words in a documentary I'd seen in a Psychology class. Well I found out today that the documentary was called "Evan". It was on this canadian show called "The Fifth Estate". Every week they talk about a different subject and that time it was about problem kids and abuse. So just wanted to note that. Add that to your FAQ sheets. :) Bye.

It's been awhile since I've last posted, but here I am! Anyways, I wanted to tell you all that I've finally finished redesigning "Lifting Shadows"! Also, Mike Bahr's page is up on my page now.

IMHO, it doesn't seem to me that you could do that with ruining, or at least changing drastically, they continuity of the work. since the song is about, symbolically speaking, the "change of seasons", the symbolism is very cyclical in nature, a full circle. it seems to me that returning to the beginning in the outro is a logical and fitting end, as it comes full circle on itself, as do the seasons.

We have almost finished work on our first full length album called"Ocean Mind". We are all very happy with the way it's coming out. We are still negotiating with different record companies, but we are sure it will come out, at least overseas anyways. Also if anyone is interested in getting our EP "Horizions" you might want to get them now. They are almost all gone, will not be reprinting them. Here is how CD's are $10 with postage, tapes are $7 T-Shirts with the infamous bald guy from the horizons cover are $12 includes shipping.....WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. [If you're interested in buying these, please send mail to email_address_removed and not the ytsejam--kbibb] Well I guess thats it...also don't forget to check us out on the Metal Massacre12 compilation out now on Metal Blade. Thanks, Chris Anderson Divine Regale ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 1996 11:43:10 -0600 (CST) From: Sean T Gill To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Bach Message-ID: Someone posted about hearing Bach influences in Erotomania ect... I think its practically unavoidable considering Bach wrote over 500 chorales, re-invented the piano (tuning system) and wrote preludes and fugues for all 12 major and minor keys, and then some. Its hard to write any chord progression and not find at least a similar Bach counterpart. Not that its a bad thing though. $0.02 TTFN- Sean ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 1996 16:16:14 -0500 (EST) From: "Christopher R.

Most of you saw my review of the Victor CD. Today, I got one in the mail that I had been waiting a while for. A NY prog-metal band called Braindance recently put out a CD called Fear Itself. I found them through IUMA and thought they sounded good from the descriptions. I never heard the samples because I have no sound card on this computer. I bought the CD on a total leap of faith and let me say, it paid off! These guys are great! They compare with DT pretty favorably on general style. They are a little slower tempo and less prone to technical guitar pieces. They use ALOT more samples(recognizable ones too!). Their lead singer has a voice more in the bass range and doesn't stretch his limits as often as James. But, the best part is that the two women in the band(the keyboardist and the guitarist(!)) harmonize with him frequently and well. The individual members are excellent on their instruments. None of them quite DT, but they are excellent regardless. If anyone else has heard them or of them, mail me and let me know what you think. I am loving this stuff!

I also saw TESTAMENT the other night, it was their first show with their new drummer who happenned to be Chris Kontos!!! (ex-MACHINE HEAD of course) He is one kick ass drummer!!
