I just want to tell you that I'm really sorry, that there are so many problems getting our CD. :( This situation really sucks. I hope that NOISE solve their problems over there SOON. I'll call them again ask what the hell is going on there. Sorry. Bye.

Boy has it been refreshing to read the last ten jams. Veeeeee-ry uplifting. Where's Ken Bibb when you need one? And I actually read the jams. Boy, do I need a life... ----- Someone asked for a diagram of MP's drumkit...MP's set was pictured in a back issue of DTIFC Fanzine "Images and Words". So, join the DTIFC. :) ----- I have to make a little correction to the very unjam-mish question about cool surf rock and the replies it has generated. Laika and the Cosmonauts (was I surprised to see that name in here!) are Finns. Ever seen a Finnish surfer? Me neither. The concept is slightly amusing, though. ------ >From: email_address_removed >First time poster, but have been on the jam for awhile.

Just how the f**k do you think you can make 800 dubs of it? :) Besides, the band still does not want copies of it floating around. Not before the new album has been released. Understood? ------ /me raises for a standing ovation for Jon Case. Your DT speech was awesome. ------ The only SEX and RELIGION that are an allowed topic for discussion on the jam are those of Steve Vai. POLITICS is also forbibben, except if they're those of ECSTASY and Nevermore gets mentioned in the same sentence. ------ >called The Ice Cats. What is an Ice Cat and what do they look like? At least >they were good (they won the Championship when I lived there in 85/86). Ice Cats was a hockey table game back in late 70's. It had flat steel player figures. So, Ice Cats look kinda flat. :) Next question, please. I've got all the answers. :P _Mape_ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 21:30:53 +1000 From: Nigel Bridgeman To: email_address_removed Subject: Jason Becker and other stuff Message-ID: Hiyis I just bought my first Jason Becker cd, Perpetual Burn, and all I can say is: :-o This is absolutely amazing. I've only listened to it once, but i was left speechless (maybe because I was the only one home at the time) after hearing the first track. I've never heard him before (to my knowledge) but I'll definately check out some of his other stuff. I saw the 'Dragon Attack' cd. For those who haven't seen it it's in a tacky metal case and they spell John Petrucci's surname incorrectly on the back. Not a good sign (call me picky, but when they can't get a featured artist's name right then I'm a bit concerned). And a bit expensive, too... I got Steve Morse's 'High Tension Wires'. Nothing amazing, it's ok. Probably grow on me (like mold, as my brother would say). What else was there to say? Umm... Oh, yeah! I taped Streets and Handful of Rain onto a 2 hour tape. Now I can listen to the greatest album of all time on my way to and from work each day! Woohoo! I can get all teary-eyed in front of a carriage full of strangers during 'Believe'! And I can listen to Handful of Rain as well... Just a question regarding 'Alone You Breath' from HoR. Does anyone think it would have been absolutely amazing if Jon Oliva had sung it instead of Zach? Imagine how emotional it would have been! I'd be bawling my eyes out everytime I listened to it... Just my 2 cents (Australian). See yis!

The orders usually come within 5-7 business days. I got White Lion's "Fight to Survive" which took about 3 weeks, but he told me that it would be that long. I would just keep calling to make sure that he's on top of it. Just make sure that your credit card isn't billed for it ahead of time. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 09:16:43 -0500 (EST) From: Pat Daugherty To: Dream Theater Mailing List Subject: Shadow Gallery! Message-ID: Well Shadow Gallery's first finally arrived directly from Magna Carta. I definitely like it and this well help tie me over until new DT or new Fates. Right now I am undecided about which SG album is the best.... There was a Magna Carta catalog included with my order and it says that the new Magellan is available. Anyone have it? The catalog also says Spring 1997 for them to release the new Enchant cd. |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | 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: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 09:19:58 -0500 (EST) From: Stephen Daedalus To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: Buster's good observations. Message-ID: I think that was correct. KJLB is the only singer who can bring me close to tears several times in a row. I think discussing the fact that he has small flaws in his performance brings him to a human level, rather than the god that many of us try to make himm. He's just a very talented person. Many of us are just that. It looks like Bernd must be, huh? Congrats, man. You fuckin' kick ass. Be well. Matt B "The dead are rarely violent." (Shawn Rosenheim, Asst.

I too feel that he is one of the best singers out there, hell he has commited alot of time and effort to it, he deserves to be as good as he is, but even the best still screw up, that is the price everyone pays for being a human being. I also feel that he is a great person, after seeing them twice, meeting him once and seeing as many live videos, and interviews as i have seen. Well I guess this holds true that you cant PLEASE everyone.

Campbell" To: email_address_removed Subject: Steve Morse Band, Jason Becker, etc... Message-ID: Hi all, I have heard mention of the Steve Morse Band a couple days back and I saw his CD in the local CD shop. I was wondering if anyone could give me a little more info on what to expect from it so I know if I should run out and pick it up. Please e-mail or post here with any valuable info you may have. Jason Becker's "Perspective": With the comments I have heard in the last couple jams about this CD, I would LOVE to hear more about what's on it and what type of music we are talking about here. Anything that has that great of an emotional effect on folks is something I probably want to give a listen to. About the Gay thread: I just got back to work on Monday morning and read through about 5 jams full fo mostly gay discussions brought up by Kirk Hammet. Man this is F&^%$^&% BORING! What a waste of space - aren't there some gay newsgroups or something out there, cuz the internet is a big place. Last time I checked, this list is about music!

There's also Sex and Religion that I have yet to here > that has that Devin Townsend guy singing on it. I hear it's good from > some, and bad from others. I won't comment, yet. You can list me as one of those who praise it to death. I know many people who do, too. Maybe it's the european thing again... Vai once said that the album was more popular in Europe and Japan than ever in the States. "Like the sun in the sky we fall and we will rise, helping each other survive." Vai has come up with very crazy vocal harmonies. Sometimes it's Devin singing 6 parts at a time. It goes from very soft sounding music to extremely hard and aggressive metal. Devin shines, so do all the other musicians, though I've heard that Vai had an enormous ego trip during the sessions and wanted to control everything, so the band split up. I would say it was worth all those 250 kroons I paid for it. (The exchange rate is 12:1.) R. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 10:54:36 -0500 From: "Kevin W.

I TOTALLY AGREE with ya man. I'm not going to say any more, because you have just mirrored my thoughts. 8) Oh yeah, um, James DOES read the jam now and then. So does Derek. Both of them have told me this, at Birch Hill, so....at least those two do. I don't know about the others.

Aside from being a very informative drummer on odd times, song writing with using calculators to figure out different polyrhythms, and playing along to DAT recordings from the new album (Lines in the Sand, Just Let Me Breathe) he did mention that they will definitely release a Metropolis pt. 2. According to Mike in his very own words, it will be "27 minutes long and with an instrumental section even more wacky then the first Metropolis." I'm sure that there are tons of jammers out there that have seen his clinic. I don't know why nobody even mentions on the jam of a second Metropolis! Oh well. I guess we'll find out in several months of the album. Oh, by the way, did anybody ever meet Mike's dad. I sure did and he's the coolest guy. Very supportive of his son. Had to get his autograph to (he did suggest they be called Dream Theater).

(via PlanetAll) Message-ID: Fellow Jammers, Now, I know it's probably a cruel thing to plug a company via the 'jam, but I think this could really help out all of us Jammers. Here's the deal: This month, I started working at a company called Sage Enterprises. They run a FREE service called PlanetAll. Basically, PlanetAll is a personal organizer / travel planner / address book / plus much more all rolled into one. It's a very useful service. There's a catch though -- it's only useful if you have a bunch of people you can create contacts with. So, here's how it can help the Jammers. If we got everyone on the Jam to sign up to PlanetAll, and entered ourselves in the group "Ytse Jam", we could create links to everyone we know on the jam. Now, if we all did this, any time that we traveled to a different city, PlanetAll would let us know of any Jammers in the traveling destination area. For example, if I were to travel from Boston to somewhere in Vermont, PlanetAll would tell me that D-Man would be nearby and the service would also supply me with his address, phone number, etc. in case I wanted to contact him. It would also let me know if he changed his email address or real address as well. I figured that since Jammers enjoy meeting other Jammers, this is a service that would complement coordination of ytseEvents with other Jammers. Give it a shot. It's totally free and totally private. Plus, if you sign up a bunch of your friends to use the service, you get a free plane ticket! Thanks for hearing me out and I'm sorry to use the Jam as an advertising campaign.
