He only sings on the one song 'Flesh and Blood', I am listening to the CD right now, it also features the mega voice of Glenn Hughes on two songs and the Nelson brother's on one. The album is not the best though, George has done much better stuff IMO. Ray was origonally going to be the vocalist for Black Sabbath on the 'Eternal Idol 'album, he recorded his vocals, then he was replaced by Tony Martin, who re-recorded his voice over Ray's tracks. The version with Ray's vox on it was never 'officially' released, but I beleive it is available on a bootleg somewhere, although I have never seen/heard it.

Sure, the music was all well and good, but the whole stunt thing was very interesting. Aside from starting the show with the house lights on, the very conscious act of recreating the "authentic" garage days atmosphere was revealing. For all their claims at artistic-fuck-you-all-independance in the face of "No New Shit" banners (true!), they still had to grasp for credibility. Also, when James says "we're playing this for us," he still shys away from playing "Mama Said." Maybe someone else got this song at another show, but his bravado sure fell a little short in L.A. ANyway, it may be Metallica on Broadway, but it's still interesting culturally.

Fortunately PHX, AZ is close enough to his home turf (LA/San Deigo) that he once in a while drops into Phoenix for a gig. I will find out what other tour dates are comming. Also if any one has any questions for me to ask him just send them my way.

Message-ID: King's X Symphony X Eternity X and of course my personal favorite: Beefquad-X Does anyone else see a trend forming? I sure wish ppl would exercise their right to unsubscribe. It gets real old seeing ppl saying that they thought they subbed to the DT list. If you don't like it, leave. Preferably without saying anything. I agree that a few discussions on here get a little out of hand, but even the rehashed suicide thing is not nearly as annoying as ppl saying stuff like "I'm sick of this list cause it sucks." Sorry about that. Is somebody still working on the DT keychain thing? I recently purchased ACoS on CD. It took me a while but I finally did it. My tape was getting pretty worn out anyway. The actual CD looks almost as cool as DWD. So is GC's self titled a good representation of what I should base opinion on band from?

I mainly wanted to share my own snare drum "tuning" method. I have a standars 14 x 6 Pearl Export snare with a REMO Weather King Emporer Batter head with a REMO ring control muffler inside it, and I tighten the lugs up as tight as I can on top and bottom. When I play, I add a rimshot in every snare hit I do. I love the sound I get, and I've had many people comment that they've liked it as well. Just thought I'd share.

My case was cracked upon arrival in the mail. :-( But during the holiday, I spent a couple of days in Joisey, and found replacement cases at a nifty little record store in Red Bank called Jake's Music Shoppe.

He just said "fact" as a way of emphasizing how much he liked it. He could've said "Golly gee, this a good album (IMO, of course)" but he thought that would've sounded stupid. Some people really need to relax. If you have some kind of anger that you need to release, find a better way to do it than picking on people's choice of expression.

That my personal opinion also happens to be fact is irrelevant :) What does being the highest selling album of all time have to do with it being the best album of all time? Since when did popularity equate brilliance? If this was the case then the Macarena would be considered high art, at least. And Dream Theater would be complete and utter crap. It is a very good album, tho (Streets, not the Macarena). Although it's best-ness is being threatened somewhat by some other albums...

Message-ID: I have been spending the whole damned day moping around the house feeling sorry for myself because I don't own SUBCONSCIOUS. Last night, I dreamt that I had it and was listening to it. So I would like to make a trade for it. Here are some possible trades I would make for it: 1. Lost in the Sky (2 cd) & Rockin' Japan (1 cd) 2. Limelight Gig on video (originial version of ACOS) and one of the above boots. 3. Japanese PPV video and one of the above boots. 4. Tape copy of the DTIFC Christmas cd for a tape copy of Subconscious. * Any other combinations can possibly be arranged (as well as $$$ options).
