I think it's a great idea to write them about it. Anyone know what the background lyrics of ACoS as LaBrie says "Preparing For Her Flight...?" Mark ------------------------------ Date: 21 Jan 96 18:34:27 EST From: "Scott D. Duren" To: YTSEJAM Subject: Marquee liner/Japanese Message-ID: Are there any YTSEJAMMERS out there who can read Japanese? If so, if you have a copy of DT's Live @ The Marquee (Japan Ed.) CD liner notes (if not, I can fax it to you), would you be willing to provide an English translation of what appears to be a concert review written in Japanese? Thanx!! :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jan 96 02:33:31 -0500 From: "Trey (T-Stretch) Allen" To: email_address_removed Subject: Ytseshirt Changes - READ ALL - Message-ID: =====READ EVERYONE CAUSE THERE ARE SOME CHANGES!!!========= ---1st change--- Hey!!! I have decided to make a slight change to the NEW YTSEJAM SHIRTS due to several suggestions for it...Instead of having the big (and correct) Majesty logo and DT name on the front, I am going to put it on the back of the shirts/sweats. This will be just like the back of the YtseCon shirts in white ink and all. This can be seen on the DT section of my web page: http://www.ju.edu/UsrWebPages/tallen/home.html NOTE: This is not the EXACT image that will be on the shirts. This one is a little rough and the screen print place cleaned it up a ton (ie. looks pixel-less or not from a computer. I think this one was scanned in w/o the highest resolution) but it will give you a good idea. ---2nd change--- So, you ask, what will be on the front of the lovely garments Trey?? Well, I was thinking...since the address for the Ytsejam will be changing soon to ytsejam@ax.com and metropolis@arastar.com will be just a weekly/bi-weekly digest form of announcements and other important DT info I was going to put the ax.com address on the front of the shirts and leave off the arastar.com address. The front of them will look something like this (centered across the chest): --Ytsejam-- Dream Theater's Internet Mailing List email_address_removed I could put both addresses on the shirts if you guys think that would be better. Ideas??? Suggestions??? =======================PRICES=============================== All garments come in any dark colors (blue, black, red, purple, maroon, navy blue, royal blue, forest green, etc.) and sizes S, M, L and XL. They will be printed with white ink. ====T-SHIRTS==== -----50/50 $14 (add $2 for XXL) -----100% cotton $15 (add $2 for XXL) =======SWEAT SHIRTS======= --All sweat shirts are 100% cotton-- -------Non-hooded------- -----7.5 ounce $18 (add $2 for XXL) -----9.0 ounce $20 (add $2 for XXL) ------Hooded------ -----7.5 ounce $21 (add $2 for XXL) -----9.0 ounce $23 (add $2 for XXL) SHIPPING = Add $3 per item...I know its a lot, but complain to the US postal service!!! INTERNATIONAL ORDERS - For those of you not in the US, I am checking on shipping today I promise...sorry for the delay!! :) I will throw in a free Majesty sticker w/ every order. They are also sold separately for $1 a piece (no shipping costs). They are the same design as the Majesty symbol on my DT page. ===================WHEN????===================== I MUST HAVE EVERYONE'S MONEY BY THE 3rd of FEBRUARY!!!! THE SHIRTS WILL BE PRINTED ON THE 5th AND SHIPPING WILL BEGIN ON THE 7th. ================================================ Be sure to include shipping and Send a GOOD check or money order to: Trey Allen 453 Tahitian Terrace Jacksonville Florida 32216 ========"If I started at the top and worked my way down, then there ======== would be no reason to live forever..." -Dream Theater- Trey Allen (T-Stretch) 904-721-1362 Jax.

Gary Wehrkamp and Carl Cadden-James are both surfing the net sometimes. Gary told me Shadow gallery's Brendt Allman recorded some basic tracks with Mike Portnoy and Billy Sheehan for a Rush tribute CD.

Message-ID: Tilman wrote: >>Dominici [deleted] Anyone know what he is doing now? Is he in a band? >It seems that he is in a new band now, called Oblivion Knight. Hey, that`s Chris Collins (vocalist of Majesty) who sings on the Oblivion Knight demo! And the demo is from 1989, so it isn`t really new... [Dominici really being Collins in Oblivion Knight is now a closed topic--kbibb] BTW, take a look at http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~goebel ! There`s my DT list (hi traders!) and a Superior page with samples.

Just a few comments, nothing earth shattering. Just my point of view... 1. To Mike Bradley: So basically you're saying that all it takes is a bottle of Jagermeister, a bag of twizzlers and a nice smile????? Geez, I'm gonna try that on my next date (btw, my date knows who he is, so he's been warned) ;) 2. RE: Dave Mustaine (definitely gets my vote for most pathetic of the year) 3. "Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset." Seeing the Crimson Sunrise and Sunset on ACoS always reminds me of that tune from Fiddler on the Roof. Regarding it's intro & outro - it's fine, just the way it is! I'd better go before listmeister [only kidding Ken ;)] bans me for rambling. -BABS ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jan 96 16:09:44 +0100 From: nga@software-ag.de (Neil Gallop) To: email_address_removed Cc: donews!nga Subject: Two things Message-ID: Hi all sorry to dissappoint you all, but no I'm not dead (even if I smell a bit from time to time), I've just been lurking for a while. So, we now have an all-new, censored (sorry, I meant moderated) Jam, which I think is just a little bit on the tame side, but what the hell, maybe things might brighten up a bit one day. Anyway, the subject line says '2 things', so here they are: 1. The old year is probably still in our memories, and with it the great music and new albums that it brought. So I thought I would like to hear from you, telling me what your favourite album of 95 was. PLEASE SEND YOUR ANSWERS TO nga@software-ag.de NOT TO THE JAM, [emph added-kbibb] and I will try and put a top 10 (or whatever) together some time in the near future. My vote goes to "The Silent Enigma" by Anathema. 2. This point is actually directed at any Kraut-Jammers who may be around, although anybody else is free to read it and possibly even reply. Does anyone know anything about a band called Love Like Blood? I have read comparisons with Paradise Lost, and since I like PL a lot, and because LLB come from Germany, I thought I might be able to support a local, home-grown band, assuming they are as good as the press says. All infos gratefully accepted. OK, time to lurk again. stay safe and happy listening Neil Gallop (nga@software-ag.de) Currently playing: My Dying Bride - Trinity PS I saw Vanden Plas just before Xmas - they really are a band worth checking out. IMHO much better than Ivanhoe or Everon. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jan 1996 11:51:05 -0500 (EST) From: "Chad L.

Nguyen" Subject: Shadow Gallery (YTSEJAM POST) I'd just like to make a quick suggestion and thanks. First if you haven't bought the Shadow Gallery album yet DO SO. It's amazing. Their musicianship is on level with DT honest. Lot's better keys that Derek will ever be able to do. But thanks for those who say to get the album, after buying and listening to there version of "Release,Release" I was like I have to get this album. It seems like at this time last year after many suggestions I bought echolyn. Who became one of my favorite bands. Now there set to break up, this sucks. But hey Now I have Shadow Gallery.

First off, it's great to be back to school and reading all the jams! And I loved the show this past break at Malibu. My favorite parts were when they played Scarred and the "electric" version of The Silent Man. (I know I indicated no DT content in the beginning but what the heck, they're awesome.) One other thing: What's up Digital Man!! Anyways, I have been hearing a lot of good things about Fates Warning and I was wondering what is a good album to get for a first time listener of their music. Well, that was my question and hope to here from some people about this. Thanks in advance! [Please respond directly to email_address_removed Jam On!!!

Give it a listen and you'll see what I mean well he plays the melody from that song for a while but most of the solo is still just like an extended jam on the chords from 'To Live Forever'...I actually hadn't noticed that until my dad heard it and said' Hey that's a Beatles song' and then we searched all our Beatles albums to find it.. ----------------------------------------- Guten Gott!

The Yes and Genesis tribute albums are _AWESOME_. I am no too familiar with Yes and Genesis so I do not know how close to the real thing they sound. The Pink Floyd tribute basically to me sounds just like the real thing except the vocals changed. I am not too impressed with this one. The Yes and Genesis are great! Shadow Gallery's album is great too. I dont understand why some of the instrumentals are not titled and the last listed track, is it split into 8 parts? The lyrics indicate only 7 parts. The tapping at the beginning of track 20 is annoying. If I have that cd in the car I doubt I will be listening to that track. Any opinions on the bands Enchant, Cairo, or World Party? any opinions on the best Yes and Genesis albums to listen to?

I'm here at UW-Madison, and am probably the only Dream Theater fan on campus. I'm writing this so other DT fans will post or privately-e-mail me to prove me wrong. Prog Rock is not very popular up here, and I want to find a few other people to chat with....or, so I know that there are a few fans of great music in the upper-mid west.

Message-ID: hello all, i wanted to add a bit to the discussion about the neet little harmonic trick john used on tlf. i'm pretty sure that the first person that used that paticualr trick is joe satriani(doing hammer/pull rolls w/the left hand while lightly tuching the strings with the right, or vv if you are left handed.) the trick is all over his first album "Not of This Earth" and on almost every one since. here are some tips for having some fun with this technique. -try different strings, but i have found that the a string works the best -try different runs ie. ----2-0-2-0, ---3-2-0 or ---4-2-0 ect. in joe's home vid he used the first example while goofing around. -try using different numbers of fingers on your picking hand to rub across the strings -try moving you picking hand up and down the strings between the bridge and around the 20th fret i asked this a few weeks ago when everyone was sending in show reviews. at the birch hill show the club was showing vids. on a big projector screen and two tv on eather sind of the stage before the show. they had a single mounted video camera that had a shot of the entire stage that ran during the entire show, it was a good still shot with good color. the shot was displayed on the two side tvs. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS VIDEO LINE WAS TAPED AND WHERE A COPY COULD BE ATTAINED FROM IF IT WAS. thanks i'm sure i'm not the only one who would like a copy is this if it exists. Hay, i know a few of you have contact with the band members. could anyone ask around and tell the rest of us here on the jam what they found out. shamus ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jan 1996 16:26:27 -0400 (EDT) From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Wanted: Videos Message-ID: I need yet another favor: I just got through watching the DT PPV video and I'm hooked. I need more! If any of you have high quality video dubs that include any of the following please e-mail me. Learning to Live, Afterlife, Innocence Faded, any unusual guitar solos or drum solos, cover tunes, or basically anything that isn't on the PPV or the live in Japan video. I have a list I can send you of the DT & other related material that I have in my possesion. I'm still interested in any of JP's & MP's clinics and the Ronnie Scott show videos. (If anyone has them) Thanks, Brandon Padgett (email_address_removed) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jan 1996 17:00:59 -0500 (EST) From: Dan Tshin To: email_address_removed Subject: Guitar FTPM CD with JP Message-ID: Hey... Do you guys and gals know that Guitar for the Practicing Musician has another guitar compilation out?? And of course JP is on it, so I'm just wondering if anyone has picked it up yet and listened to it. Unfortunately, those type of recordings/CDs are quite hard to find here in Canada, but I'm going to check sometime soon. Does anyone know what track he plays?? ANyways, I just picked up the new Alex Lifeson solo proj: "Victor". I kinda like it. It's a departure from Rush's style in ways... anyHoo... Cheers!
