My intial impression of Victor was "Ugh...what the funk is this spit and who the snarg is that dude screaming? And where's his last name?" But as I listened to the whole CD it got better to me and I think it's pretty good. The songs that stood out were "Strip and Go naked," "Start Today"(isn't that the lady singing who Queensryche did the cover of on Rage For Order?..she sounds mean...). Really the whole CD is just kind of odd. Now onto Zebra: yes indeed these guys are still around. They play around here(Baton Rouge/New Orleans) quite often but I have yet to go see them. I just know they are still around. On an unrelated and old news note, I did see Stevie Blaze's(Lillian Axe) new band, Near Life Experience, a few months back. Real dark, moody stuff. There wasn't really any flashy guitar solos or anything cool like that. There were these weird candles and steve was talking about death and other happy things like that. He sings and it is VERY different from Lillian Axe. I thought it was cool. I just thought there might be some old Lillian Axe fans who didn't what he was doing might be interested...I think they have a CD coming out soon. One more thing: What is the name of the label that put out Dragon Attack? Dang it! Where's my dang CONCEPTION CDS!!!!!???????!?!?!?!??! later Phillip Cool CD of the day- Victor ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 15:19:38 -0600 From: Jeff Hayes To: email_address_removed Subject: Vai: NDTC Message-ID: Actually, Steve did not use that process to make that song. He merely ran his sons speech through an Eventide 4000 Harmony Processor in order to change his son's warbling into a melodic humor-fest. I'm fairly certain of this, but I don't remember where I read/heard it. Shred 'til yer dead! Jeff aka IceBLADE In regards to: ABout Ya-Yo Gakk... I don't find it at all annoying... it's the humor song on the album... and just thinking that Steve spent a year recording his son singing that, and then went thru the whole thing to find all the phrases that were in tune, etc... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 15:30:04 -0600 From: "Rip, Cow Virtuoso" To: Heavy Metal Computer Nerds Subject: dementia of the bovines Message-ID: > > What's a Cow Virtuoso? > why that would be me. in case you're wondering, i clear this up every so often in private emails, and said it once long ago on the jam, that many people think i in fact am a cow, others call it a damn weird fascination. but what it all really boils down to- i'm a cow spokesman. its my duty to go around and promote cows to the people of the world. i want cows on tv, cows on lunchboxes, cows in congress, i want them everywhere except my bedroom (sees a lot of sighs of relief from the people reading) to sum it up- cowz r gud. so now i think i'll go have some cheese, eat some beef, and chill to an icy glass of milk while i finish reading these jams. ~Rip ( ) @@ ____ "once upon a time, and a very good time it was, o \/ \ there was a moo cow coming down along the road" | ___<| || || (c)1996 Rip-Cow inc. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 15:53:22 -0600 From: "James Abraham" To: Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 2220 Message-ID: I feel silly for asking this-but I forgot how to unsubscribe...Any help?

Jan did the Miami Vice intro. There's a Jeff Beck Live album with Jan on it.

With > Kai Eckhardt on bass and Trilok gurtu on drums, this is some wicked album. Is Kai from England? Looks a little like the lead singer from Midnight Oil? When John was touring a good ten years ago (memory leak), I remember reading an article of how he had decided on the bass player. Paraphrasing, he had seen some guy performing bass in a club in England, and after the show went up to him and "I'm about to tour and I want you to play bass." Apparently, John was suitably impressed. I went to see the trio at the Living Room in Prov. (nothing like seeing great performers in small clubs, yeah!) and there was this bald guy on bass that, I thought, quite possibly could be from this planet. That is, until he started soloing. :) Jon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 15:31:09 -0700 (MST) From: Fernando Ma To: ytsejam list Subject: Too good to be true? Message-ID: Yesterday I bought GC's Machine Fish (again), though I already have it. "why?" you ask? Well it was in the bargin bin of my local university music store for ..$3.00!!!! That's not all....apperently, it looks like it is autographed by all four members!!! Although I am not sure, it looks like their signatures. So, if anyone has any autographed GC stuff on their website or somethin', I would like to see if I can compare the two. Thanks.

Hallum" To: email_address_removed Subject: Dragon Attack. Message-ID: Went on a dischunt today for the Queen Tribute. Found it at Tower Records, right next to the Working Man tribute :) in their Tribute section. They got quite a few guitarists together to do this, Yngwie is doing a tune "Keep Yourself Alive". Most of Anthrax does a tune. KJL sings Sheer Heart Attack (cool tune), and One Vision(cooler tune), and JP does a really, really, cool version of Another One Bites The Dust. Down sides: Paul Shortino singing We Will Rock You. Not who I would have chosen to sing this, and We Are the Champions. The highlight of the album (aside from KJL and JP's efforts): Lemmy and Ted Nugent on Tie Your Mother Down.... Awwwww Yeah. :) Does anyone think the KJL was made to do a Queen tribute album? He does an awesome job with Queen's lyrics. -jeremy PS So, Skadz, what time do I make reservations for on Saturday??? +=====================================================================+ # 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 # +=====================================================================+ http://bu-ast.bu.edu/~jhallum/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 22:37:14 +0000 From: Jon Parmet To: email_address_removed Subject: Jan Hammer Message-ID: > I have the album _Untold Passion_, which is Hammer and Neal Schon (of > Journey & Santana fame), who's no slouch on guitar himself.

Innocent mistakes will happen and I >guess >it is a cultural thing.......and we all know about multiculturalism now >don't we!!??! It's been said a million times, and now I finally get to say it (OOH!) It's a proper name, therefore should ALWAYS be spelled Theater. You don't see people saying Megadeath or Corn. Why not? That's how the words are spelled. But the bands decided to call themselves Megadeth and Korn, so people pay enough attention to say that. Just like if people were calling you Kevon because that's how it's spelled where they come from. Sure, it's an honest mistake, but when people own DT CDs and belong to the DT mailing list, they should at least have enough common sense to spell the word the way it was meant to be spelled. Note: I am far behind on my jams and stuff. I read on the metallica mailing list that Sepultura had split up. This could just be a nasty rumor.

If you liked EOT, I have to suggest Gutter Ballet to you. On all material earlier than 1991, you will hear a different more heavy metal oriented voice (Jon Oliva) although on the Streets disc, he does many powerballads. There are also many imports from the band including a best of set called "From The Gutter To The Stage", 2 live albums- Japan Live '94 (with Zak) and Ghost In The Ruins/Final Bell (with Jon), theres also Jon's new band called Doctor Butcher (an awesome album) and a great deal of others. Dream Theater- Live At The Marquee (this goes for import price) and The Silent Man CD single (10 bucks with Take The Time demo and Eve) and a great number of bootlegs. Imperium- Too Short A Season- great progressive heavy metal reminiscent of a progressive Megadeth (1993, Leviathan Records) Metal Church- The Human Factor- this is the only MC disc I'd recommend for prog-fans although the rest are great but this one is produced by Paul O'Neill (of Savatage fame) giving it a very progressive metal feel.
