Get ready for one show Marilyn Manson are those bi-sexual, cross dressing, killer name taking, "anti-christ superstar" guys! They put out a REALLY great show i've heard... the lead singer (Marilyn Manson) totally self mutilates himself on stage and all sorts of other stuff... they've been banned from several places too... thats just a LITTLE of what to expect ;) ok one other thing- I think it was brian who said he didnt think what his friend had for space dye vest on the cover was right... first of all- what was it? and i think that the space horizon might be where space dye vest is portrayed on the cover... anyone else? also do you think "lifting shadows" may be portrayed as the color on the other side of the mirror? just a thought... ~Rip ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Mar 1996 19:14:00 -0800 From: Chris Oates To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 1348 Message-ID: The following quotes are from lots of different people, I judt didn't bother attributing most of them.

That's a lot to pay for 1 CD, but >it's worth it. Telnet cdconnection.com. I've found all my Magna Carta stuff at either Blockbuster or Tower. Lucky shops, I guess, but then again the manager of the local BlockBuster Music is a HUGE Yes fan. When I bought the Yes Tribute and World Trade, we talked for about 30 minutes about Yesm ABWH, Chris Squire's solo album, etc... >Jammers, > Recently I came across a band called Paradise Lost and was wondering >if any one else has heard their stuff at all.

Well, I'm currently working on the trilogy of songs called "A Fart Beside Itself". After finishing Fartomania (that was a tough one to redo the lyrics!) and coming up with replacements for most of what is normally known as Voices, I'm running short on ideas. You can only be so original when writing lyrics about releasing toxic fumes into the air! So please, any of you tasteless people out there who have ideas for lyrics, please send them to me. Bogie P.S. Talk about being bored... :) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Mar 1996 19:56:35 -0800 From: email_address_removed (Larry Odneal) To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 1347 Message-ID: Somebody wrote: >> Kirk looks like a clown that took his makeup off. In my very HO, Kirk also plays like a clown that just picked up an electric ukulele. He is sloppy, man! Again, in my opinion, Metallica doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath (or on the same 'jam) as the GODS we know as Dream Theater! OK, headbangers, let the flames commence! > Dream Theater content....I was at the Denver show on 11/22/94. I don't >think their sound was good enough that night for a quality tape(IMHO). It >WASN'T their fault though....they seemed to be having some trouble with their >sound equipment. As I recall, it was affecting their musicianship a little. >It was a good time, though!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't mind having a tape as a souvenir.......... > > Cat I was there, too, along with my 14-year-old son (he was born when I was 10 - yea right). Anyway, you are correct about sound problems - remember when John Myung's bass rig took a shit for about 10 minutes? He was pissed - I believe the Silent Man was seen to mouth the f-word a few times that night. The cool thing was that Derek, John P and Mike took the opportunity to extend the jazz/blues improv they sometimes do. I remember being impressed by Derek's jazzy style. Well, the acoustics at the Mammoth leave a lot to be desired - BUT - KBPI radio did tape the concert and played it on the air Sunday night of the next week. (This was before they jumped on the "alternative" bandwagon (which is anything but)). I taped the show, and the quality was really pretty decent! I got mucho enjoyment from it until my tape also took a shit (the curse of the Mammoth?) However, I saved the tape, and it _might_ be repairable. I plan to find it and try to splice it or whatever it takes, since a few people have asked for copies of it lately. I'll let you all know if I have any success.

That is sooooooo NOT funny. You obviously haven't seen my math teacher. >>Let me reiterate......just because somebody DOESN'T play anything >>super-hard/complicated doesn't mean they CAN'T. > >Let me reiterate...just because somebody DOESN'T play anything >super-hard/complicated doesn't mean they _CAN_. We're both basically saying the same thing...just that one of us is more pessimistic than the other. ;-) >>Hell, I'd even consider the Toadies somewhat progressive, listen to I >>come from the Water and that really overplayed one, what the hell is the >>name again? HMMMM ..... I've heard two songs....they're both pretty much the same form. They both have the same (4/4 3/4 4/4 4/4) time sig thing, and they both go down to a bass/drum thing and build it back up....either way, I still can't help myself from liking it. :-) IMO, the .sig wars must continue till someone is thoroughly defeated.

Mountain Dew (regular) is great, it still tastes like humming bird food but it has TONS of sugar and caffeine (more than Jolt which is why I only drink fruit juices now). It's great to use right before a show to get you psyched up. All my sig was saying was that DIET dew blows. I can't believe there is so little to talk about on the Jam nowadays that people are bashing my sig. ;-) As to how now what urine looks like, my father is a nephrologist (kidney doctor) and I've worked at his dialysis unit since i was 14 (I'm 18) as a dialysis technician so I've seen ALL sorts of urine (it can be orange, yellow, clear, BLUE or even BLACK-the last two represent severe renal failure leading to daeth in a matter of days if not treated-NEVER SLIP ANTIFREEZE INTO ANYONE"S DRINK -one of my friends had this done to him at a party-his kidneys died and he is hooked up to a dialysis machine for three hours a day, three days a week, this is not a funny prank, 1 once of antifreeze will permantly kill your kidneys, any more will probably kill you. Hope this hasd been enlightening. :-) email_address_removed Seth Hatlelid "Diet Mountain Dew is the biggest waste of space on the planet-no sugar-none of that legendary caffeine, and it tastes like a urine sample!"

Muchmusic has a couple of cool shows; one's called Power30 and the other's Spotlight. Power30 is :30 M-Thur of Hard Rock/Metal videos and Spotlight is :30 of videos and rare interviews by a single group or artist. If I could get Everyone on this list to email Muchmusic requesting they play Dream Theater on either one of these shows, plus get everyone else you know to do the same, maybe we can get them to devote one of these shows to DT when the new disc comes out. We need to start working on them now so they can start talking to DT's management about booking them. When you email, please be as brief as possible (they usually respond to brief letters more often)and mention James' being Canadian since Canadian content is important in getting artists played. The email addresses are below. For San Franciscans. Is there anyone going to the Maiden show at the Fillmore on March 28? Maybe we should all meet before the show. Email me if this sounds good to you. Scott Cook Muchmusic addresses: Power30 Spotlight Muchmusic Website: http://www.muchmusic.com/muchmusic I PROMISE!
