I hope that he's doing OK...I know that I would be a wreck if I lost one of my parents right now. If you are reading this John, I sympathize a lot with your situation right now, and I hope it does not get the best of you for too long. Your Dad (from what I have read in articles) was a great person, and I'll bet he was very supportive of you. I just want you to know that there are people out here who care about what you're going through, and that we hope you're allright.

I know from one of the owners that some rythym tracks were completed by Portnoy and Billy Sheehan sometime in the early winter. I don't know all the artists that are appearing but I'm sure the record company is very eager to get this thing out so you can bank on this being out sometime in the near future...

No really. The reason that I post so much is because it's easier to do it that way from AOHell than to include all the things at once. Besides, I've asked people personally if I post too much, and most said they like it that way, as opposed to Bafu-esque page long posts. I've just got a lot on my mind. But I am not offended. Being on IRC lately has kinda de-sensitised me. Thanx for listening to 373'd post ;-) Brian, The Damn Tye-Dyer Maker's Eve! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Mar 1996 15:58:28 -0800 From: The Masked Avenger To: email_address_removed Subject: I HAVE SPOKEN... Message-ID: ::::::::::::::ATTENTION ALL OPPOSERS OF THE SIG CONFLICT:::::::::::: After Processing The Data in the previous 4 ytsejams, I have come to a conclusion. The Sig Wars must sadly come to an end. Before I continue with this letter, I must make an important announcement: IF YOU ARE ALL UPSET AND ARE SPENDING MORE TIME DURING THE DAY FRETTING OVER THE ASCII PICTURES THAT APPEAR IN THIS UNMODERATED LIST (ALONG WITH OTHER NON-DT RELATED MATERIAL) THAN EATING, SLEEPING, OR BREATHING, THEN I PITY YOU. IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD BY FLAMING MY OPPENENT, CAT, THEN **** ******* ***** ***** ** -- * * * * * * ** **** * * * ***** ** * * * * * **** * ***** * ** You are hereby notified to leave her alone. Imagine, if you will, a 12.5 megabyte ZIP of an entire Green Day album on a .WAV file appearing in your mailbox. Everyday. For the rest of your on-line life. That's what will happen if you continue to flame my comrade in arms.:) I, the The Masked Avenger, am not going to make any apologies for "The Sig Wars" They were fun. They are over. I cannot see why you took it to heart so. How hard is it to click the down arrow and scroll past a sig? In all my travels, I have not come across "alt.sig.pictures.for wienies" or whatever it's called. All the picture I drew were from my own imagination. (I know this to be true of my opponents, also) I mean, come on! Where have you guys ever seen a dual super-fisted Marshmellow Chicken or Mutant Mega-Cow? :) Even though I was declared the "winner" by somebody (Thanks for your support) I would never accept. There cannot be a winner, for the battle was not properly fought. Altough, I do think that Ben's SIG was one of the funniest things I've seen In a while. So, If there is to be a winner, I say it should be him. And, Finally, WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY SAY SO?!?!?! These things went on for a while! Why didn't somebody just scream "STOP!" (Like Skadz did!) instead of complaining? I guess that's all I have to say. Oh, one last thing: This "Universal Destroyer" voice I'm always talking in is a big silly JOKE!! Alrighty! No more SIG wars! :( I've got the message(es)! I've recieved the personal email! Let's get back to something really interesting that we can all participate in! Suggestions, anyone? **********VID SCREEN********** * /\__/\ * * {[[|O O|]]} * * | '' | * * VvvV * * |vv| * * \__/ * ****************************** "This is my SIG, and it's here to stay.

WEll, Rob, look no further. I have them ALL. E-mail me and we'll work something out. Please, keep the sig. wars going. It adds humor and something to look at. I came across DT at my friend's house. He was playing it in the background, and all of the sudden I heard a real strange sound. Turned out that it was the guitar and the keyboard synchronizing on a solo. I was blown away, but couldn't stand the singer. It grew on me, and I have loved it ever since.

I got a letter from DT's manager, Rob Shore. He apologized for the fan club problems and said things will be getting better immediately. He also sent me a check for the $ 16.00 I sent in January 1995. That's good news!! I hope the same energy goes into promoting the band etc. Now for the bad news...there are a lot of ASSHOLES posting a ton of crap to the jam. This is about DT. If you want to discuss anything else then go somewhere else to do it. :) IMO ..note the 'IMO' disclaimer you potential flamers. ***Ben Lassydude is an asshole....just check his anagram. ***Petrucci said in a recent interview that they will be wearing matching evening gowns on the next tour. Ben Lassydude will probably be trying to look up Myung's dress. ***RE: the drinking game...have one for me....tonight I am doing some heroin, crack, some everclear, a little model glue, some gasoline, Drano, and that's just the ingredients for the enema I need to take later...I got the recipe from Bafu Vai (required content) MARK METZGER is doing his part to help his fellow man by volunteering to be examined by all of the 349 students in the protoctology department at the university... To those of you who don't like/get my humor...yep...you guessed it...you're an asshole. Buy Tim Lodge's CD's...I have em all and they are excellent. Good luck on job hunting, Hairball...don't bother looking in Portland...this market sucks. Babs, will write soon, thanks for the note. It is not raining here in Portland Oregon today. Warren in Oregon PS...if you guys think this is a total waste of bandwidth....check out one of the many jams we get each day... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Mar 1996 17:06:06 -0500 (EST) From: Gilbert Jack Thetgyi To: email_address_removed Subject: Metallic Misc. Miasma Message-ID: >I'd appreciate any help with this...I'm new to BMG and I'm wondering if >any of you guys know the numbers for Queensryche: Empire To the best of my knowledge, neither BMG nor Columbia House has Empire. But, BMG has Mindcrime, Rage For Order, The Warning, and Change of Seasons (sic). >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! I'm glad you said, "in my opinion". I have forwarded your message to the Metallica Club and the Metallica newsgroup. Just kidding. >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...NEVER SLIP >ANTIFREEZE INTO ANYONE"S DRINK Hey Seth, what do urinal mints (as according to Beavis) do to your kidneys? Also, do you remember that Simpsons episode where Bart "becomes" an exchange student, goes to France, and makes wine? They put ANTIFREEZE in the wine! >Well, what if a whole bunch of AOL 'Jammers got on there, and when the >MTV guy asks for a next video, everybody in the whole damn thing goes >"PLAY SOME DREAM THEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I've seen DT mentioned before! I've also seen King's X mentioned, but both efforts were futile. >The bassist kinda scares me though. Anyone else who's seen them in >concert knows what I'm talking about. (That foot swing thing. yeesh. >Just looks all wierd-like) Please explain, I don't plan on seeing them in concert. >Do you think we, as loyal DT fans, like the fact that "our" band is kind >of "underground"? I do. I don't consider DT "underground". I usually connotate "underground" with bands that haven't signed a major label contract, or bands that are on small, independent labels. Thus, DT wouldn't qualify. I see your point, however, and I like DT's status. >I know tons of people who flock to Metallica concerts without a care to >what the music is about, they just want to bang their heads around and >hurt people. I'll have to disagree with you here. At the Metallica shows I've been to, the fans have been just as into it as the fans at the DT show I've been to. Fans are more likely to be aggressive during "Whiplash" than say, "Wait For Sleep", but that's because of the song itself, not the crowd. I'm not going to say DT is better than Metallica, or vice versa, because I like them about the same (Newsted and Myung are two of my favorite bassists). However, different songs generate different reactions, and ultimately different physical actions, i.e. "banging their heads around and hurting people". > "Yeah! I love Rush! Man, that new song! What is it, Tom Sawer? Tom Sawer? Wow, the logical sequel to "Tom Sawyer" and "The Trees"! >I hated James LaBrie's voice at first and thought the band could use a >heavy IV injection Hey _Mr._ Swanson, I think the band could use a heavy tritone (flat V) injection. >Mountain Dew shrinks your nuts. Proven fact. What about almonds or cashews? >I feel like I'm going to miss something. Joe Satriani is playing here in >Vegas on the 16th....but I'm not going. I've never heard any of his music, >but I feel like I should be going to the concert. ARgh!!!! Hey, Uncle Ben, I feel like you should be going to. I've never seen Satch live (although I had tickets once and got sick). After reading all the buzz on the 'Jam, I'm going to go see him in Cleveland. I'll be wearing a Blind Melon T-shirt and Green Day hat ;) >We need a bassist with his/her own rig, transportation, and musical >ideas...TV theme song preference are not important What about the theme from "Mission: Impossible"? >Its impressing to see Tony playing his guitar with no fret inlays Do you mean that his fretboard has no "dots"? There can still be dot markers on the top of the neck, for example, one of Jason Newsted's basses has red LCD dots on the top (close to the low B) of the neck. >A Damn Dyer, currently thinking of ways to sign his letters How about Damn Ready? >Speaking of Sting, has anyone heard his new album? Yes, I bought it the day it came out. It's excellent, not too happy like Ten Summoner's Tales, or not too dark like The Soul Cages. It strikes a good balance, and has a diverse group of songs. Kenny Kirkland is now playing keyboards, and there are guest appearances by the Memphis Horns, Branford Marsalis, and a gospel choir. Those northumbrian pipes are back again, too. >Next, am I the only Toledo-area Ytsejam subscriber? I'm starting to >feel lonely amongst all this corn. I am just south of you in BG (amongst more corn).
