I thought he was older for a while, but then someone told me he was 14 and I was liek Holy Shit. Now I picture him as someone totally different, but I have even more respct for him. There were a few people who were surprised when I revealed myself to be 16, but that shouldn't matter. BTW, I'm just wondering, how many other jammers are under 18? I know of only one (Rip), but I want to know more. later--------------Brian ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 16:11:18 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: BMG Message-ID: >I sent in my order.

I have it. I like it a lot better than Bump Ahead. There are a lot more good songs on this cd than Bump Ahead which had a lot of filler songs. SFK a hard rock newsletter had the same review. ------- Dt Content: I've been trying to pick up as much Yes, Genesis, and Kansas cds as I can through cd clubs. I definitely see Yes and Kansas influences in DT. I can see some Genesis influence but not much. The only problem with cd clubs is that I keep getting "Out of Stock" or "No longer avaliable". **** Pat Daugherty email_address_removed **** **** "Every breath leaves me one less to my last" --Dream Theater **** **** "That is not an option, Mr. Mulder" --X-Files **** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 17:01:35 EST From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: IRC server Message-ID: whats the name of the irc server, again? soryy I missed it first time. lata Thunder ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 17:48:19 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: breaths of fresh air in a crackhouse Message-ID: ummmmmmmm. yo punks! funny, i was wondering where the hell bafu had been for so long. spring break!??!!/ FUCK YOU, SPRING BREANUSES! no! wait. i have mine next week. sorry. lovely little analgrams, mr. vai. your return to the jam was like a fresh breath of chocolate-tie in the depths of the darkest crack den i've never been to in nyc. mmmmmm. the school for brain-hurting, eh? it's kinda tough to hold classes like that. i see it more like a philosophy. to understand how to hurt brains a la kobayashi, i guess you'd have to get to the essence of brain-hurting. crack, anyone? barbs- fritz?!?! who the hell names their kids fritz? isn't that a bad hair day or something like that. or 80s hair spray queens/mall rats (you know, the ones you still find in the malls of nj every now and then). so one day, bafu and airdance are getting married, and now barbs is reminded by bafu of a fritz she loved way back in the day. polygamy in the works? megadeth- mega-who? hall of fame- i thought yes was already in the hof. i could've sworn i heard it mentioned. but zappa IS in- yay! and yes, it is disgusting to think lou reed inducted him. kinda like the way billy corgan of the mashing humpkins introduced pink floyd (my all time favorite band in the world) into the hof. who will introduce prince? cuntly love? better yet, who will induct dt when they get that nomination they'll never get- the decayed remains of kurt cobain, complete with shotgun in hand? what about a band like aband like nine inch nails (a SURE FUTURE VOTE, RIGHT?). how about milli vanilli. my point is that the hall of fame is kinda disgusting anyways. you wanna see a prog band in there? never happen. MAYBE the only hope there would be may be rush, and they'd probably induct them for an album like "roll the bones." king crimson? maybe if the unabomber threatens them and influences them enough........wait- maybe i am the unabomber! don't even start to stick your heads in the clouds and say dt will get in. that would take a LOT more crack smoking than i think humanly possible. i don't care what you argue to prove me wrong, but the only way they get in is if steve howe joins the nomination committee between now and 2014 (all inductees get in 25 years after first album. wdadu, 1989, yes?), and if he even gets to that be that old, i'd be impressed (then again, i'd be impressed if i get to live that long). so there's like more things i have to mention, but it will have to wait til later. i have jizz band now. jizz-jizz-jizz. "hot jizz?" see ya boys and girls. david the magical kobayashi ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 17:49:03 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Newsweek Message-ID: I decided to let you guys know what I wrote to Newsweek. BTW, I wrote this before I read Chris' letter, and it was basically the same thing! Spooky! Hello to everyone at Newsweek. My favorite mailing list is Ytsejam. The address is email_address_removed. It started out as just a mailing list for fans of the progressive rock band Dream Theater, but it has become much much more. We 'jammers have become almost like a family. We know each other even though most of us have never met. And we trust each other. For example, a guy in Florida organised a get-together, in NY, and people from as far as Seattle sent him money and they all planned to meet at some hotel. How's that for trust?

I've been looking >for this one forever!.. I got it at the HMV Music superstore, in the Heavy Metal section, here in Montreal CANADA. If there's an HMV near you and if they don't have it, they can order it for you. Give them this information: LETHAL, "Your FAVORITE God", record company is BULLET PROOF RECORDS (CAS RECORDS). ^^^^^^^^ Yes, they do have a new guitarist. Dell Hall was replaced by David McElfresh. The only problem with this CD is that it's only a half hour long, but it is very good.

REVIEW: Queensryche, _Promised Land_ CD-Rom (EMI) - Dan Birchall Like its namesake album, Queensryche's new _Promised Land_ CD-ROM has been a long time coming. Fans first heard that a CD-ROM was in the works in May of 1994, a full five months before the album was released. At that time, the CD-ROM was expected along with the album. Things didn't go as expected - release dates told to fans slipped at least ten times! Meanwhile, the _Promised Land_ album went platinum, and Queensryche toured extensively, so fans weren't left completely disappointed. Despite the delays, the fruit of their labors should redeem Queensryche in the eyes of their fans. The two-disc CD-ROM set pushes the envelope in every way. Expectations will be high after the wait, but even the most jaded fans should be in for a few surprises. Old and new fans alike should enjoy the Big Log disc, a virtual copy of Big Log Studio - the cabin in the San Juan Islands where Queensryche recorded the _Promised Land_ album. Dozens of audio and video clips are scattered throughout the cabin, and may be found by looking closely at everyday items. The clips can also be viewed together in the form of a short video documentary. Also hidden in the cabin are three full-length videos for songs from the album. Big Log pales in comparison to the Promised Land disc, which is truly in a league of its own - a hundred minutes of digital audio and video, 70 computer-generated digital environments, and two thousand high-color ray traced images, all packed onto one disc! In a Consumable interview several months ago, Michael Wilton said that the game would take 30 hours to win, but he may have underestimated. The sheer volume of visual and aural information is overwhelming. The graphics are vivid, ranging from realistic to absurd. There are rich sounds and hundreds, if not thousands, of items which interact with the user in various ways, and puzzles galore. Even the members of Queensryche make appearances in unexpected places. When members of the band appear, they invariably offer ethical morsels, in the form of encouragement, scolding or advice. Despite Queensryche's success in the world of music, its members have retained a strong sense of values which are the basis of the puzzles within the game. The ecology of each world on the disc can be endangered in some way, and once endangered, each world can be saved. The game is by no means a "shoot-em-up"; the ultimate goal of reassembling a five-part Native American totem pole can be reached without violence. The victor's reward, of course, is a performance of a never-before-heard Queensryche song entitled "Two Miles High." This CD-ROM set is certainly not for the faint of heart, or the faint of hardware - it requires at least a 486 PC or '040 Mac, 8 megabytes of RAM, 16-bit color and a dual-speed CD-ROM drive, and a recommended system is at least one notch better in each department. Each musician's world is a game unto itself, and with short-cuts and connections between the worlds, it is very easy to lose one's sense of direction. Once users get past the initial shock and sensory overload, though, both discs are full of challenges, fun, and opportunities for mind-opening experiences - things that Queensryche's fans have come to expect from "The Thinking Mind's Metal Band." --- Included in Consumable Online. I apologize for the lack of DT content, but I figured since there are many QR fans on the 'jam that this would be worth the post.

I've searched for music books with the keyboard parts of I&W and Awake, but, alas, no luck. So, if any of you have the piano/keyboard parts of ANY DT material, please e-mail me. Thanks. Bogie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 19:18:49 -0700 From: email_address_removed (Sheila Swanson) To: email_address_removed Subject: Fingerstyle Message-ID: I am not a bass player, but my brother is. When he started playing we were in the same band together, so I got to watch him grow and develope as a player. One of his main goals was to use as many fingers as possible, thus, obtaining maximum speed. He often used his thumb to slap out low end pops while holding octave notes on the high strings. I recently started learning fingerstyle guitar, and my teacher said that he often breaks the rules to get his sound. The point? There are rules that you have to learn, but to be truly creative you have to eventually break them. DTC: On Space-Dye Vest there is a soundbite that goes like this. "In houston or something they say that it's 180 degrees but it's a dry heat. In Houston they say that? Come on, they're all messed up. Why would they have the swimming pools?" Where is this from? It sounds like something I would hear on Comedy Centeral at three in the morning. Hey, It would cure my insomnia.
