There are a lot like DT but without the keyboard effects and stuff. But if your into guitar, you should check them out. The guitar players work really well together. And about this new age music?? I seen someone said something about no one knows music well enough to appreciate the style and talents of DT. I agree totally. It sucks that almost all of these new bands comming out can't play a song to save their life! The singers sound like my dog howling at a train or something... Drums?? hmmm, I've heard sheep fuck with more harmony than that! And a lot of these guitar players are just pathetic! I think that it's really extraordinary that the DT member have found each other!! Keep up the excellent work DT, and especially John Petrucci!!!

And the "neo-classical" part of the live ACOS is amazing. I guess I just don't have any faith for neoclassical after Yngwie ruined it. So, like I said, if Shrapnel can find some TALENTED neoclassical people, or some other prog that Magna Carta can't get their hands on, more power to them.

Mike Varney did not post to the jam, I forwarded part of a message I got from Igor, the guy in charge of neoclassical online. Shrapnel is looking for unsigned bands in the prog/neoclassical lump. And to Sir Ryan of Good, Yngwie isn't the only guy out there doing the music. Have you ever seen a Shrapnel catalog? There are other players doing Neoclassical, though few of them do it full time like Yngwie. Not only does Shrapnel help fans of guitar music get what they want, they have an extensive line of great blues albums, and not all by no name performers. And as far as I know, Shrapnel and Magna Carta are not connected. Neoclassical and shred are not dead. In a manner similar to DT they are somewhat underground. DT isn't the biggest selling band in the world, but they have a growing base of dedicated fans (like us) to support them. That's what the Neoclassical Online is all about. Only the best of the genre are still around. In the 80's there were countless lame copycats who flooded the market and basically turned people off to shred because there was just too much of it. Let's hope that doesn't happen to prog. In a market sense, it happened to prog in the seventies. Many people thought it wwas too overblown and pompus. Enter punk, the antithesis of prog. It all comes around TTFN- Sean BTW- I seem to be building up to a big rant. Just wanted to warn everyone. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Mar 1996 11:04:32 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Confusion Message-ID: There seems to be a bit of confusion about some Pointblank subscribers...

Is there a way I can be first lady without marrying Bafu? JUst wondering... ALso, someone else asked about the latest Faith No More album. It's OK, abut they don't really experiment with as many styles as they did on The Real Thing or even Angel Dust.

I want to get it but haven't heard it >yet. How does it compare to The Real Thing and Angel Dust? It's still Faith No More, but their sound has changed a bit since Jim Martain left. If you liked RT and AD, I'm pretty sure you'll like King for a Day. It's one of my favorite albums actually. Each song has it's own style, they are all different. Some songs are slow and groovey, others are fast and hard edged. My recomendation is: If your a FNM fan, Buy it! If your not too sure, listen to a few songs before buying it. >From: email_address_removed >No, I notice it... BUT HOW MUCH CAN YOU TALK ABOUT A BAND who isnt >really That popular anymore.

If i didnt >why would i be on this mailing list?? I think we are all still tryin' to figure this question out. So let me get this straight...You LOVE Dream Theater and their music, BUT think they should change into an alternative band?!?

I liked 1, 2 was pretty good. I used to watch the series too. Fun. Always a different ending.

Hi Joey, I haven't been to North Texas but I did go to Berklee a few years ago. I've heard great things about North Texas too. Here's my impression of Berklee. Berklee is full of fantastic players and amzing teachers. But it's equally or more filled with mediocre to poor players and not so good teachers. If you really want to learn a lot, you can definitely do it at Berklee. You can request particular teachers and get your butt kicked. Problem is that your first sememster at least will not be determined by you. You might get a lousy private lesson teacher (the Bass dept. had only 1 or 2 bad teachers BTW) and a mix of teachers for other classes. You may get an ear training teacher who's so easy that you don't have to practice to get an A - thereby not learning what your grade implies. But there is a good chance that you'll get some great teachers. I had lots of fantastic teachers. One other thing about Berklee. It suffered (probably still does) from what my classical teacher called East Coast Conservatory Syndrome (or something similar). It's the philosophy that, not only do I have to be better than you but you have to be worse than me. A strange, extremely competitive philosophy, I think. My teacher was pushing me to go to Texas. He said there were some great players there and the atmosphere was really good. A lot of famous players did go to Berklee but I know some went to North Texas. There's also a school in Florida. I think it's Southern Florida University??? Anyway, good luck and I hope this info helps. Feel free to email me if you want more of my 5 year old experience :). --Marc Respass ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Mar 1996 12:10:08 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Marc Respass) To: email_address_removed Subject: No Michelangelo for me!

Macintosh computers are immune to this virus and the number of viruses available is significantly lower than the number available for PC's. So I'll be surfin' while you all are worrying :D (no Mac v. PC stuff immplied nor wanted - just thought it was funny). Ironically, I didn't get this until March 6, so I'd be outta luck. --Marc R ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Mar 1996 12:10:14 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Marc Respass) To: email_address_removed Subject: alternative (to) music Message-ID: > Something else....I try and try to dislike > alternative....but, hey...I like most of it.

If > you want to send it privately, my address is email_address_removed. I sure hope that you don't feel silly about this because it took me forever to realise any similarities. And. That was after I had learned the song (on bass) :|. OK, so here's the only bit that I can recognise. 0:00 - this is the Erotomania riff. I don't recognize it it any other song 3:05 - Silent Man part 3:24 - "When there is reason..." Petrucci plays the melody I really don't hear other songs in this. I mean, I think of Erotomania as a sort of overture to Voices and The Silent Man so I expect to hear bits of those tunes in there. Anyone else have any more? --Marc R ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Mar 1996 12:10:29 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Marc Respass) To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: lame ASCII graphics Message-ID: From: "Christopher R.

So, ill let you get back > to your Anil Liberal life.... In fact, keu, you do seem to be causing trouble if the amount of flame mail on the 'jam is any indication. It is possible that you are being sarcastic or attempting humour, but I would submit that you failed to convey your intentions, if that is the case. Problem with the 'net is that words are all there are. No body language or tone of voice. So, in the event that something might be ambiguous, you might consider a smiley or the "" or just write "joking" or "sarcasm". That would make things more clear. Some people have a problem with not being able to control their anger and have an "itchy trigger finger" if you will. So before you relate more of your implied conservative idealism on the entire Ytsejam, you might consider reading over your posts for ambiguities and items that might be missinterpreted then further consider something to clearly state your position. --Marc Respass ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 1327 **************************
