I have been reading the jam for a hell of a long time now and at last I will make my fist post!!! Here is a quiz for all of you gitar players out there-did you know that there was a John Petrucci signature model by Ibanez????? Yes it is true!! There is only one catch-As far as I know there were less then 100 of these things produced(yes I am fortunate enough to own one of theam). Ok now lets get to the axe!! Well look at Petrucci's regular 6-string(For those of you who saw DT play on the east coast a few months ago it's not the black or the translucent blue)-well it's the same thing!! The only thing that I am not sure of, is if it has the Air Norton and Steve's special pickups in it. Oh, in case you were wondering yes it PLAYES LIKE YOU WOULD NOT FUCKING BELIVE!!! I also got a certificate of authenticty wich is HAND SIGNED AND NUMBERED BY NONE OTHER THEN MR.PETRUCCI!!! If any one has any qustions or comments feel free to E-mail me at email_address_removed. P.S. I know where DreamNday(aka brien)lives! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Apr 1996 00:53:24 -0600 (CST) From: Pat Griffin To: ThE NuGgeTjAm Message-ID: Raytheon over-reacted as follows: >What?!?!

Brian has to chizel his responces in stone, then give them to a scribe in the monestary (I'm surprised the have a monestary in ARKVILLE), who uses a block of wood to punch holes (the binary code of Brian's posts) into sheets of lamb-skin parchment. The parchment is then shipped (via The Pony Express) to the nearest large town (about 180 miles), where it is transfered to paper and fed into a peripheral device which reads the holes and converts the binary to text. That text is then transfered to the 'net, via a 1200 baud modem (that's worse than Elliott!). So just remember, the next time you criticize Brian for posting too much, think about all those poor monks, who would be without jobs if it weren't for him! h t t p : / / w w w . m i s s o u r i . e d u / ~ c 6 7 5 3 1 1 / | Pat Griffin Reality2 Design | | email_address_removed email_address_removed | h t t p : / / w w w . m i s s o u r i . e d u / ~ c 6 7 5 3 1 1 / [Disclaimer: I don't know Brian.

How about I show up in person and you sketch me yourself. I'm quite sure you could draw me better than I could. What's that? You're not an artist? Trust me, you could still draw or paint or scu.lpt better than me. If you haven't figured it out yet, I ain't sending you a picture?[. I am not in posession of one. Sorry. Besides, it's almost cool to have a cloud of mystery hanging over me. I am only busting your chops, Steve. I know we worked this out before. But I take every opportunity to make stupid comments when it comes up, and you've been the brunt of this three times. You're a good sport, or you are ignoring me. Either way, I hope I made somebody besides myself laugh. So, I am not Bafuvai, but Bafuvai can never come up with blind jokes like mine. And yes, Bafu, that is a challenge. You could never, in your wildest dreams, write "the Damon Fibraio Driving School for the Blind". It's a classic piece of radio comedy that got me fired from my college station. Sorry, Bafu, you are funny, but your humor would probably fall short in the handicapped joke department. But we love ya anyway. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Apr 96 4:25:08 EST From: "Damon M.

I haven't gotten any mother jokes in this flame war, and damnit, I want to see them. What the hell? I mean, you guys are being way too civil to each other. Where are the flying chairs? where's the really lowdown nasty comments? This is tame. You call this a flame war? You people are about as hot as my refridgerator. Come on. Get dirty. I want to see blood. You hear? Blood, damnit. If you haven't guessed by now, I am being sarcastic. Can you kindly take this to E-mail? I'm sure I speak for others. Truthfully, I find it funny, but the inevitable "screw off and take it privately" posts are on their way, so please, do us a favor, take it to email or IRC. And forward me everything. I want to read this. I haven't read a really good flame war in a while. Remember, more mother jokes. Forward all flame war crap to email_address_removed. And if you are really daring, you can start a flame war with me, but I must warn you. I am a pyromaniac. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Apr 96 4:28:46 EST From: "Damon M.

Fibraio" To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Producers n'stuff Message-ID: Neil. On your comment about bands having control over production, that's not necessarily true. DT was just signed to a recrod company. They're an unknown or virtually unknown band at the time. A producer usually has a lot of control with bands who really haven't proved to be a saleable force. If DT ever reaches the level of Rush, Yes, Sting, or any other "supergroup" then the record company gives them more freedom to produce their own or pick their producers. That's the way the business is. Initially, the record people have control. I am sure that MP argued the triggers to death, but the producer had the pull and Mike had to use them. It may not have been like that, but if a gproducer wanted to be a real asshole, he could throw his weight around with new bands and totally disrupt their original sound. The producer plays an important part in the recording of an album because he does make decisions about sounds. The producer will add string sectins, choirs, horns, keyboards, and whatever if he deems necessary. Bear in mind, I am not an expert, but this is what I know from talking with people who do work in the Rock industry. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Apr 96 5:12:49 EST From: "Damon M. Fibraio" To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: The Greaseman Message-ID: you think he actually played ACOS? Could've been the D.J. on after him who needed to run to the bathroom. The G-man is out of california and is syndicated. I almost miss his show since he was taken out of New York. But I doubt that he played ACOS. Once he says AMF, I think the D.J. took over, unless he announced the song outright. Once again, I do not claim to be an expert, actually I am rather stupid, but I work in radio and know some of this crap. If he did play ACOS, he is quite cool. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Apr 96 5:20:57 EST From: "Damon M. Fibraio" To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Hi Message-ID: What? Not a fan of voice-type sounds? I guess from a certain standpoint that sound does not quite fit, and depending on my mood, I like the piano better, but don't dismiss choir sounds entirely. They sound great when played lower or when the sound is a little softer. I am a keyboard player, so I know, but sounds are a personal matter anyway. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Apr 96 5:38:16 EST From: "Damon M.

Gangster of Boats part IV of a trilogy? It's a joke, man.

But hey, at least I am getting kissed by something, although a hearttbeat, lips, and breasts would be nice instead of metal and the inevitable pain that accompanies it. I should be single?

There's been some discussion about weird ways to handle the guitar. Has anyone noticed how Marty Friedman of Megadeth uses his plectrum? One could think that would lead to having tendovaginitis in his wrist...is there some reason for this weird way to wield the axe or is it just a perversion of his? His wrist seems pretty rigid to me.... Could the vast population of Japan be the answer to why Dream Theater is so huge in there. I think it's the same everywhere, some ppl dig 'em and some don't but when it comes to the Land of the Rising Sun it always seems as a band has millions of followers. A good example of this is a Finnish band called Tarot. I'm pretty sure none of you has never heard of them. (There actually might be three exceptions.) Practically no one but the bona fide metalheads have heard them here in Finland. Still, when they released one of their albums in Japan, it sold over 50 000 copies. A similar thing happended to Stratovarius (another group of Finns). Well, just my FiM 2 on the subject... Can anyone give me any info about bands Angra and Elegy? Maybe I should switch to ack mode...just kidding. I wouldn't do that to you. _Mape_ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Apr 1996 06:59:19 -0500 From: email_address_removed (acook) To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 1406 Message-ID: >Question- > Who out there is a Phish Phan??

Well, concidering many people in my High School like them, and these are the same people who listen to Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins, Bush, and Pearl Jam, I just assumed that they suck. Especially when some kid was singing "Bouncing around the Room". I assumed it was too intelligent for me so I stayed away. Also, Paul Gilbert is blessed with INCREDIBLY long and dexterious fingers that enable him to do incredible things. There are probably some reaches and stuff that JP just can't physically do. He's a monster. However I believe JP to be a much more versitile and interesting player.

Sorry for the incredible waste of bandwith... I have a question for you all. My grandparents took a recent trip to Japan. I asked them to get me WDADU since at the time it was only available there. They came back w/2 copies of Awake and 1 copy of I&W. Oh Well. I later found WDADU in an import shop. (It's scratched!) Anyways, on my American copy of Awake, the ink on the CD is very dark, and the majesty logo is hard to see. i think it looks cool that way. However, that CD got scratched and I opened one of my Japanese copies of Awake. Here the CD is printed much lighter, and the Majesty logo is clearly identifiable, but fuzzy. It looks almost like the printing press was running out of ink. I opened, my other Japanese copy, and it looks the same. Is the American one the printing error? Like I said, I think it looks cooler that way. Are the CDs printed differently in Japan? Or did I just happen to get two Japanese printing errors? I'm curious.
