Hallum" To: email_address_removed Subject: Warrant is back... again. (a little DTC) Message-ID: Warrant has a new, short album(45 min) out. I'm still up in the air on the sound. I think that maybe they are trying to get a bit alternative., but that is just me. Anybody else heard it yet? It's called Warrant 96, "Belly to Belly" ObDT: After listening to Lost in the Sky, and seeing them live this year, I totally agree with y'all that KJ has gotten a LOT better as a frontman between songs. There are some wierd comments in Lost in the Sky. -jeremy +=====================================================================+ # grad student, Boston U. #"He's sitting at the edge of the bed # # Boston, MA 02134 # staring at the headlines in paper # # Astronomy # He said 'Look at poor Gene Kelly # # <*> <*> <*> # I guess he won't be singing in the rain' # # Jeremy Hallum # You Took Away All My Heroes # # email_address_removed # Can you Take Away My Pain" -Dream Theater # +=====================================================================+ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jan 1997 17:49:53 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: AAARGH Message-ID: Mr. Rupp, I do not appreciate your...bluntness about your feelings on Marillion.

A fellow DT fan has written to me regarding the first performance of "Scarred." He says that they performed this song on Feb. 22, 1995 in Helsinki, Finland, which he says was also the night they announced Derek as an official member of the band. If you have a tape of this show, can you let me know whether "Scarred" was played at that show? Also, I think I remember seeing on someone's web page (Brian Cox?) a list of all the shows DT has ever played. Is there a song list with that? Is there something like that anywhere? (If not, there oughta be. :) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Message-ID: Stopping by issues on a snowy evening: 1. The "Guitar World" Top 100 was actually very good, I'd say. I think those people stating that Petrucci belongs on the list have a point -- he's been one of the big forces on the scene for the last few years. You can almost identify prog-metal playing as pre- and post- Petrucci, as large as his influence has been in the area. Greater than Lifeson? Well, he's a better technician, for sure. He HASN'T had THAT much influence yet, though he HAS been eminently influential. Aside from that, I think the collection of musicians is very good. My big gripe is actually the lack of great classical guitarists -- Liona Boyd, John Williams, Christopher Parkening. Johnny Winter would have been a welcome addition to the list, as well, but I thought, all in all, that they did a tremendous job. 2. Alex Skolnik HAS disappeared somewhat. My understanding is that his parents have that background in journalism, so perhaps he's taking something genetic to the fore. He's a great player...it became trendy to demean his Testament as little jazzy dinkings, but I always felt his playing was wonderful....I like him far more than, say, Marty Friedman.

Bonic" wrote: Funny you should bring this up. I was at a CD store today and got a used copy of YKTR of only 8.99! It's called Y Kant Tori Read and other rarities.It was released in 1994 by a label called Pacific Recording Company. I can't be 100% sure it's NOT a bootleg. But from the way the music sounds I would say it is legit. If anyone has a definite answer please let me know. It is a bootleg, if you find a legit copy of YTKR on CD you will be paying out the ass for it. Something like $200 to $300 is the going price for an original copy of this disk. However if you want to hear it, the bootleg versions of it sound as good as the original, they have slightly distorted cover art. The art on the original is really sharp and clear (that picture of Tori with the huge wild "I should be a keyboard player in Vixen" hair). I heard it once and the only song that I really liked was the last Trilogy track Etinne I believe. It sounds nothing like her current music so die hard fans be warned.

I dug this up from an old periodical called The Music Paper's Musicians' Exchange, The Complete Music Classifieds Magazine For NY/NJ, April 1987. This issue has a short "spotlight" on Majesty. I thought I'd share it with y'all. Here it is: MAJESTY Let's roll out the red carpet for Majesty, a Long Island band with a lot of potential and a wild, full sound. This band sounds more like an orchestra than a heavy metal band; there is real substance here. Bravo! for this group who dare to venture into musical territories not yet explored and are able to maintain a firm hold on their amazing following. Even their demo tape (I can easily visualize it as an LP any day now), which is sold at record stores, does pretty well. Majesty has played at Brooklyn's L'Amours, Sundance and has opened for Talas at The Stage Door. Their dedication and daily rehearsals will lead to solid rewards in the long run. Their set includes "Another Won," "After Life" and a song that has become a classic Majesty tune, "March Of The Tyrant." Their demo features this last, as well as "Your Majesty," "A Vision," "Two Far," "Vital Star" and "Another Won." If I had to compare this band with any other, it would have to be to Rush because of the intense professional sound and the skilled musicianship. The band members are Mike Portnoy, a drummer so talented he blows others on the circuit away; John Petrucci on guitars (you'll love his wailing leads and detailed strumming); the band's backbone, John Myung on bass; and Kevin Moore playing keyboards. Chris Collins handled vocals on the demo tape but, due to an untimely set of differences, the band is currently looking for a new vocalist; one who is on the same level musically as well as attitude and dedication-wise. It is my opinion that Collins has a fantastic voice and a professional manner, and though he has parted ways with Majesty, I wish him luck in his future ventures. This is no kiddie garage band. Portnoy, Petrucci and Myung have all attended Berklee in Boston and, as I've already implied, their sound is incredible and tops plenty of major acts I've seen. Majesty is a band worth checking out; they're a top candidate for a successful career as a well-known musical act of the eighties. -Shellie Silberger- Have a nice day. -Rick Audet ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jan 1997 19:55:23 -0500 From: Michael Kohne To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: the jam, GC Message-ID: At 03:06 PM 1/13/97 -0800, Pat Daugherty wrote: >About GC, I would say the self titled is the best followed by their >second effort with the very annoying hidden tracks. > Now that's interesting, I didn't find those hidden tracks annoying. In fact, I rather had fun trying to figure out exactly what tricks they had played with the CD format standard in order to do some of them. Of course I always love it when people take the time to really play with the technology, just to see what it can do.

Hrm, I think this is the same on I've been learnin from and it seems to explain everything. Couldn't find the author's name anywhere but the name's the same. It tells you what goes into making the chord, what the patterns are, what the most favorable fingerings are for whichever key. Whenever I find a really cool sounding chord that's in a real funky position, it's real easy for me to find it in a convenient one now. This book almost rokz nadz, but I'll give it a little room to improve. I've almost learned what to call thae darn things now too. :) It's issued by: Mt. Holly Press 1200 Campus Dr. Mt.

Probably my favorite, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first album to get, the kazoo solo in My Life wules, though) Devil in the Details (Alot weirder than their older stuff, has some keys and also some industrial sounding stuff. Alot of varied crap) Water (Most people consider it wussy, but I still like the album as a whole) These guys also are NOT progressive and should not even be considered to be. They do have some kewl experimentation here and there, but it's not progressive. They're more like Extreme without all the funk, just some funk. If you're looking for a heavier album, start with the Lizard. Hostile Youth, Miss Jones, and Peppermint Tribe rock, as do a few others. :) Enjoy!

I haven't seen it yet, but > since the mags all have reviewed it, it's got to be soon... New rumor: Michael Anthony leaving VH... to be replaced by Billy Sheehan. Just a rumor as far as I know, but I thought I'd piss everyone off and spread it here too. I heard the new Nuno album in it's entirety today at my friend's record shop. It's cool... much more raw. Fewer solos. One solo I caught had some technique, the rest were laid back. Definately taking a modernized approach to songwriting. If you want shred, stand clear.... if you want Nuno's voice, and some decent grooves check it out. - Chris Ptacek The man with the iron gonad - Mmmmmm, butter - Abnormal Toenails - Yeah. P.S.

I found a CD called Kings of Sleep which has become my favorite of his. I can't seem to find another copy of it, though. Is it out of print? Also, I've been noticing how everyone's local Zrocks have changed formats. Did ZRock go out of business? The one here in Detroit got bought out by Ted Nugent. Are there still any out there?
