My name's Brandon, and I'm the drummer for Colorado's hottest new progressive rock band - Anthem. (Can you guess who are influences are?) We'll be playing this Thursday night at the Paradise Club in Glendale (used to be Bangles) - so if you live in the Denver area, come check us out! Other than the obvious Rush and DT influences, we're really into Fourth Estate for those of you who have heard of them. Even got to open up for them last week - cool!

Message-ID: just wanted to remind that tomorrow is michelangelo's birthday (march 6), and that means the michelangelo virus may be around to fuck someone's day up. so it may perhaps be a good idea to avoid usage of the computer (especially to log onto the net or web). the odds of actually getting it may be rare, but there is no way to be for sure, and i wouldn't want to hear that something bad happened to your computer, so be careful. see ya. dk ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Mar 1996 17:37:01 -0600 (CST) From: The Great John Nguyen To: email_address_removed Subject: Andrew Miller the resurrection (Ytsejam post) (fwd) Message-ID: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 5 Mar 1996 16:31:31 -0500 (EST) From: Andy To: "John T.

Just going to ask for a few favors then get out of here. First, if anybody can get me a copy of the Birchhill Christmas show please e-mail me. I will do my best to recompinsate. Also I really need copies of Fugazi, Misplaced Childhood, and B-sides Themselves, by Marillion. Although I have not really heard any of the stuff, I just am fumeing to, and I don't want to drive 45 minutes into Philadelphia, and spend 25 bucks a disc. So if anyone can make me copies of the Marillion, and or Birchhill DT show. I will hook you up with whatever you need. Thanks. Also I just want to say "The REAL Andrew Miller is back" (sorry Andrew Miller had to say it, no offense taken, right?). Later--->andy Oh Yeah--- Let us Andrew Miller's, John Ngyuen's, and Joe Blow's all make the list a part of are everyday e-mail.

Why would you want to worry about progressive metal is Magna Carta already has it covered??? I don't know how great Neoclassical Metal will do these days....the label immediately flashes Yngwie across my mental screen. I can Guarentee that the public want's nothing to do with people who can shred but sound the same on every album. Yngwie is one of those. Who else is there? That's probably your point: There aren't any other neoclassical metal musicians...just make sure you DON'T fall for any Yngwies......I could go for some fresh metal though, even if it is in "Yngwie's Genre" I wish you the best of luck. As for progressive, Auditory Imagery is a great band with a CD out called So Alive; I'm unaware of their current status. Leviathan's "Deepest Secrets Beneath" is a great CD, and Imperium's "Too Short a Season" kicks ass as well; I don't know what either of these other bands are up to either. Good luck and keep the Ytsejam up to date!!! ****By the Way. The opinions about Yngwie are the opinions of the author (me) and any amount of flaming or disagreeing WILL NOT change the fact that I think Yngwie HAS to get into a different business*** ____________________________________ "Raise a little Cain when Abel turns away" name - Ryan T.

Um, this is a Dream Theater list, dickbrain. Now, look. I don't know if you just feel like causing trouble, or if you don't get enough attention at home.

Message-ID: >From: email_address_removed > >Heres a Question: What is the infauation with DT???? Its not >like they are the BEST PROG. Band out there... There are a hell of alot >of bands out there that are STILL better then DT!!! This mailing list is for "progressive rock/metal with a focus on Dream Theater." There may be bands out there that are better than DT, but we are here, for the most part, to talk about DT. The reason that everyone here is "infatuated (with a *T*) with DT" is that we got on here to talk about them in the first place. He also mentions that Slaughter is a better band because they have sold millions of records. to paraphrase, "Record sales is no fucking guarentee!" Selling millions of records doesn't prove a thing. Yes, they have a large following, but I would be willing to say that if you compare Slaughter's following to it's publicity and do the same with DT, you sill find that DT has just as large, if not larger, following for the limited airplay they get. DT writes songs on the average of 8 minutes in length, not exactly "radio- friendly." A million records sold could mean nothing more than a million blind sheep following the crowd. I'm not saying Slaughter is any better or worse than DT, I'm just saying that we talk about DT because we are here to do just that. His whole post seems to be flame-bait. Please post in a sensible manner, and don't degrade yourselves and the 'jam.

I am Man. First off, does anyone have Faith No More's most recent album? I want to get it but haven't heard it yet. How does it compare to The Real Thing and Angel Dust? Second, about musical taste. I listen to everything I hear that I like. I haven't heard any country or rap that I like so far, but I still listen to it with an open ear. If I like it I'll get it. I listen to music that comes from the heart of the player. B.B. King doesn't just play southern black blues, he IS southern black blues. That's music from the heart. As John Petrucci told Guitar World, "All that really matters is attitude." So, play what you are and don't stop others from playing what they are. I agree that the DTdenvercon is hopeless, so, does anyone know the next time DT will be in Denver? I haven't seen them live yet and I am curious to see if the fans mosh or if they sit and watch in complete awe. Hey, I'd pay 20 dollars to see it. Other than Denver, I would have to say Vegas, because my grandparents live there and I could get free room and board. John P's solo that changes effects on ACoS sounds like he was trying to make an easier transition from the solo sound to the heavily distorted sound so as to not distract listeners by switching effects while playing the distorted part.

What do you guys know about this band, if anything? He saw them in concert in NY last year.

I recently read the DT FAQ and it mentions that Erotomania is composed of riffs from other songs. I don't understand; I can't recognize ANY of them. Could someone please reply with the songs and riffs which are similar? (You might want to include the time in the songs where there's similarity, since I don't see any other easy way to identify a certain riff) Thanks to all who reply.

Probably during the week of the 15th. If anyone feels like trying to get together, e-mail me and we will talk about this. I will very likely stop by Ben's place and jam for awhile when I am there and wouldn't mind meeting some of you other Jammers.

Richie P.S. I'm up for a west coast Ytsecon. Also, to the jammer that said they were going to the Galactic Cowboys show at the Troubador in LA: there's a chance I might be in town around then. If so, I'll definitely be there too. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Mar 1996 22:19:24 -0500 (EST) From: "John R.

Try this then Be sundae Sal. My reference to Dream Theater in the past sence in regards to their recordings was because to the best of my knowledge the last official release was ACOS. Therefore what they have played seemed to me the correct thing to say on the subject matter. ALSO when you are a 10 year old kid any instrument is cool. Since I have been friends with John's younger brother since I was six, I have been over his house when he played the violin on more than one occasion. MOJOMAN; Sorry I did not distinguish that I was doing tech work for the band Marcello at the time and he was the producer of their never released second album. I was there in the studio with John Miceli the drummer who now plays with Meatloaf. So shovel this.
