Ballinger) To: email_address_removed Subject: JAMES LABRIE'S SHAMPOO/FANZINE/IRC Message-ID: Yalrighty! Well I was sitting watching LiT the other day with a few of my friends (non DT fans) trying to show them why DT are such a excellent band. We'd already watched and Iggy Pop video, (NOT my video - one of my flat-mates - he wears docs, tight tye-dyed jeans and his hair is shaved apart from a sticky up fringe - nuff said!) anyway, Iggy Pop. Not a pleasent experience I can tell you. Apart from The Passenger which asides from Iggy's grunting, is actually quite a good song. (IMO of course) What did I mean to tell you.. oh yes, the main comments made were about James' hair which in the video has been coloured. The general consensus was that he should advertise shampoo. What do you reckon? JLB running across a beautiful country meadow singing about Timotei or Wash & Go? hehe It was also said that WfS / Surrounded was "a really good song" (understatement, but there you go) Soppy girly music if you ask me! ;-) 'Balls & Chunk is where it's at' as someone who I can't quite remember, said a long time ago! But the point in the video where everyone sat stunned was Portnoy's solo. Rightly so. Fucking incredible piece of drumming. Has anyone else noticed that part of the solo sounds like something out of Super Mario Bros? It's the bit where he's going between his cowbells and the bass drums. While I'm talking about LiT, is there anyone on the 'Jam who is actually in the video? Who's the happy fellow who informs us that JlB is the best singer in the world? I just got issue #9 of The Official Fanzine and there's a cool piece by Howard Portnoy no less! He's talking about how DT decided on their name after they dropped Majesty, and cites some of the names they considered before settling with Dream Theater. The funniest one must be 'Asparagus Piss'! There's also a cool interview with MP and an article on THE Dream Theater complete with pictures by Patricia McLoughlin, who you should know from the 'Jam. The fanzine is excellent! Keep up the good work Neil! And if you haven't subscribed to it yet then do it now! Neil Elliot's address is on the AWAKE CD sleeve. Just a quick note about IRC. Even if you're not logged onto the DT server irc.dreamt.org , still join channel #ytsejam cause you never know who might appear. (Probably Graham B. or myself - enough to put anyone off IRC!) Time to go.... Cheers...

Yes I am risking getting strung up by all the Blind Guardian fans. Especially if any track me down in Germany *laugh*. Hey watch it with the BG vocal comments. I admit that they are nowhere near as good as James' but they aren't a prog-metal band. They are a fantasy/sci-fi type band. More in the vein of Helloween and such. And remember they are the Bards of Metal *laugh*. Well at least you came close when you spelled my name. I have actually gotten pieces of mail that had my name spelled Jason Buttwug. And it still got to me. Go figure.

Ha! Message-ID: A few days ago I made a tape for my girlfriend replete with Dream Theater. Of course, her being a girl ( ;) ) I put mostly slow songs on there and other kinds that she might like, like Eve, Another Day and the Elton John songs. For a little spice I put the Mirror and Ytsejam at the very end, fully expecting her to hate those.. She thought Eve was 80's sounding. She liked Funeral for a Friend but not Love Lies Bleeding. Her favorite song was The Mirror, and second favorite was Ytsejam (off WDATU of course :) Now I know why guys always say they don't understand women.. it's impossible, I tell you.. Oh well, maybe I'll take back the tape and put some of the harder DT stuff on there. _______________________________________________________________ | Samsonite, Web Page Designer, email_address_removed | | - Web Pages for flat fee of $200, no hourly rates | | - Custom graphics | | - No limit of number of linked pages or graphics | | Please compare my price -and- quality to other companies! | | For more information, e-mail me or look on the Web at: | | ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/go/godfther/design/samweb.htm | `---------------------------------------------------------------' ------------------------------ Date: 22 Feb 96 16:36:15 EST From: email_address_removed (Scheponik, Kristoffer) To: email_address_removed Subject: touring Message-ID: <81FD2061018B1B76@-SMF-> Ok, jammers. This is my first post, so excuse my ignorance on some issues. The biggest question in my mind is WHEN IN THE HELL IS D.T. COMING TO PITTSBURGH? If I've already missed them, when will they be in any other "nearby" cities (Cleve, Balt, Philly, etc.) Also, I had never heard of "When Dream and Day Unite" until I subscribed to the jam. Is it available in stores? If not, how can I get a copy? Once again, please excuse my ignorance. I'm self-educated on D.T.'s music. None of my friends really listen to them, so I just started by hearing "Pull Me Under" and went from there. The thing that intrigues me the most about D.T. is the fact that they don't just "write" songs -- they compose. I don't think any group can match their ability to put songs together. On non-D.T. topics, if anyone has access to touring dates (or upcoming release info) for any of the listed bands (or any similar groups I may have omitted) please post them (for the Pitt. area, anyways). I haven't had much success finding touring info. D.T., of course Alice In Chains Soundgarden Overkill Iron Maiden, or any other heavy grunge or speed metal bands Thanks.

I've heard mention of Watchtower on the jam a few times. If this is the same Watchtower from Texas, I have something one or two of you may be interested in. I have a 1987 four-song demo recorded for me from Ron Jarzombek (forgive me if I misspelled that, Ron) who (whom?) I took lessons from in 86-87. Billy White (g) had already left the group, soon to join Don Dokken's solo effort. The songs are very Rush-influenced, which was the band's sound at the time. They also have Jason McMaster on vocals. He was splitting time at this point with Dangerous Toys, also of the San Antonio/Austin area. Unfortuneately (huh?), any future Watchtower recordings, if they are ever anymore, will not include Ron. He underwent surgery for a carpal tunnel condition, the doctor made a mistake, every guitar players nightmare. He still teaches here in town, and I'll probably have to talk to him soon, since I forgot all the song titles on the demo. E-mail me if your interested. DT Content: Thanks for the mail with boot material. I can start building my collection now. By the way, I thought Moon Bubbles was the instrumental following TLF on Live In Tokyo. But the discgraph says it's Barf Bag. Can someone tell me where I can find Moon Bubbles, Thanks.

All I'm doing right now is copying an article out of Saturday, February 17th's New York Newsday from the Obituaries sections writen by Sandra Saslovsky. JOHN PETRUCCI, FOUNDER OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE FIRM John Edward Petrucci, of Kings Park, a former professor at Hofstra University and founder of a computer software company and a computer software network, died of cancer Tuesday (February 13) at St. Johns Episcopal Hospital in Smithtown. He was 55. Mr. Petrucci was born and raised in Brooklyn. He graduated in 1963 from City College of New York with a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering in 1963. He went on to earn a master's degree in systems sciences from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. He completed doctoral studies in Professional Services at PAce University. In the 1970s, Mr. Petrucci taught computer math at Hofstra. In the 1980s, Mr. Petrucci left Hofstra and started Stanhope Associates, a computer software company, that operated in Commack, Deer Park, and Kings Park before closing last year when he became ill. During his years at Stanhope, Mr. Petrucci started Lincup, the Long Island Chapter of Network Users International, a group that shares computer software. He served as Lincup president from the founding about five years ago until December. Mr. Petrucci had served as a Eucharistic Minister giving communion at mass at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Kings Park since 1983. He also served on the church's financial board for the last 10 years. "He was known for his smile," said his wife of more than 32 years, Rosann Billera. "He was an exceptional human being who will be missed." Mr. Petrucci married Billera in 1963, and the couple moved to Deer Park. Two years later, they moved to Kings Park. Besides his wife Rosann Billera, Mr. Petrucci is survived by two sons, John Jr. of Hackensack, N.J., and Christopher of Rochester; and two daughters, Susan Bakunas of Smithtown and Joyce Petrucci of Kings Park. He is also survived by his mother, Sue Petrucci of Brooklyn, a sister, Diane Manza of Staten Island, and twin grandchilden. Services are this morning at 9:30 at ST. Joseph's R.C. Church in Kings Park. Burial will be at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________ John, my heart is with you and I'm sure all the other jammers hearts are also. We hope that you can stay strong through this tough time. Please everyone when you read this give ten seconds of silence for the memory of John Edward Petrucci, I very special guy. Thanks.
