I just got "The damnation game" by Symphony X the other day because >I kept hearing about it here... hey man! it R00ls!!! ---------- Still waiting for mine from CD Europe. Probably paid too much for it as well. I did get my YtseJam T-shirt today. The front design was a little smaller than I'd imagined, but overall very cool. trevor ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Feb 1997 01:07:20 -0700 (MST) From: durnik To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: New album due out. Message-ID: Nobody knows, not even the band, when the new album will be done. The band has _nothing_ to do right now. They're so bored they're writing more material... they could do 2 albums at this rate. I can't understand why their management isn't getting them into the studio. With all that's happened, it would probably be just fine if Portnoy produced the album himself. After all, he co-produced Working Man. - Mike Bahr/email_address_removed- An independent Equinox representative ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Feb 1997 09:19:46 +0100 (MET) To: email_address_removed Subject: 6.00 / "I know all about the honour of God Mary Jane" Message-ID: Hi all. I've not read the jam for ever so long, and to be honest I never really had the time to read it properly anyway...:( But here's a question for you. As I'm reading a lot of English literature these days (studies), I came across a passage the other day, starting with "six o'clock on a christmas morning" and ending w/ "I know all about the honour of God Mary Jane". Of course, I was close to wild with exitement. The passage was from James Joyce's short story "the Dead", in his book "Dubliners". Now, I reckon this has been discussed here before, so I hope you could enlighten me a bit on WHY they used this passage in the song 6.00?? I've always been curious about that sample - it sounded so ... I don't know ... it creates images when I hear it ... it is sort of mystical, laden with meaning hidden to us mere mortals... In short, it SOUNDS very good in the song. But to me, when reading the novel IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. The passage seems not very important in the short story at all, and is not very 'mystical' or laden with deeper meaning (mind you; I'm not a literary critic!! Good chances of being wrong!), and it seems DT have just snipped a little piece of conversation out of its context (I know - that's what samples are...). So I wonder if there has been any discussions on the jam on this, and if you know more than I. I guess I was a little disappointed to read the words in such a different context, where they did not at all produce the images & thoughts as they do in the song. If anyone are interested, I can type the passage for you, or give instructions on where to look for it in the story. Any comments are appreciated.

Maybe The Wheel of Fortune updated their theme, because what I hear (and many others on this list) in Scarred is very close the the theme I'm familiar with. For me, it sticks out like a really sore big-toe. 2. I would like to check out the specific part of LSoaD, but I've been deleting Jams after I read them. So if you could, please restate the location of what you hear as the WoF theme. 3. I'm terribly sorry about offending you with my deafness reference. It was supposed to be a lighthearted hyperbole, kind of like "I've told you a million times", you know, like that. I should have put a smilely face after it. It didn't cross my mind that someone might be so sensitive to the comment. I meant no harm. Again, I apologize. -Rick Audet ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Feb 1997 03:31:09 -0500 (EST) From: Rick Audet To: email_address_removed Subject: More TDoE Message-ID: Chuck wrote, >Sorry, dude, hate to burst your bubble, but I just recently got the >same 2CD set for $40 from my local dealer.

This is worth wondering about. TDoE is on Why Not? records. They don't have a web site, so I called them in Italy a few months ago, and the guy said they've closed shop. Unless the guy was just trying to cover his ass, I think US retailers are slowly selling what's left of this gem at a regular price. And I'll admit, it's not the easiest to find, if you don't know where to look. Rumor has it that THE I&W tour boot to get is either Mission:Impossible or Dream In Progress, but I haven't heard those yet to know for sure. -Rick ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Feb 1997 08:29:18 -0500 (EST) From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Wheel Of Fortune on a DT disk?? Message-ID: You hear the "Wheel" theme on Lifting Shadows? I hear it blatantly midway through Scarred (I don't recal the time) I asked John Petrucci about it in '94 in Denver, CO, and he laughed and said that some other people had pointed it out, and it's purely coincidental. Actually, he thought it sounded like "The Price Is Right" -Adam ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Feb 1997 08:37:13 -0500 (EST) From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Phish/new releases Message-ID: In a message dated 97-02-01 02:59:21 EST, you write: << I recently saw a 4 CD bootleg set of them doing the Quadraphenia in its entirety (and some other stuff) for $99. Yeha, standard price per CD for a boot, I guess, but a tad expensive for me. >> (in regards to Phish) Hey, y'all PLEASE do not buy and bootegs of this band. They are totally incredibe, and they allow taping at their shows. If you check out the Phish Phorum online, you will have no problem finding people who will copy their boots for you. They exist for every show. Please don't support assholes who try to sell this stuph. BTW, the best way to appreciate their music is to see it live, because their lights go so well with the music, but if an audio recording is all you're after, boots are the way to go with this band. If you only listen to their albums (although they ARE great), you'll think that they're a little corny. -Adam ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Feb 1997 09:14:50 -0800 From: Andrew Forcier To: email_address_removed Subject: Jam 2242 Message-ID: Hello, I missed #2242 as well.

The band is extremely frustrated, and they are asking that everyone continue to be patient. In the meantime (since there is nothing they can do about it), the band has still been writing music, adding to the 2-plus hours and growing song list. The two songs are: Cover my Eyes (3:20) Hollow Years (6:20) <<< Why don't they just sell the demos on the web to us! We would be a lot less restless than!!!! Carry On. Bruce D.

I just got my TNT's new album titled "Firefly". Very ropy jacket! You'll be frozen when you see this.he,he.. Anyway. First impressions?.............Mmmmmmmm....a little bit disappointed one. Some nice songs and some not-too-bad songs. I like 1st single 'Daisy Jayne' ,'Month Of Sundays' and 'Sunless Stars'. Those songs are rich in melody,but half of this album is a bit dull....... This ain't their best album,but better than "Realized Fantasy" album. Here's tracklist for your help: 1.Firefly 2.Angels Ride 3.Tripping 4.Daisy Jayne 5.Somebody Told You 6.Month Of Sundays 7.Only The Thief (whistles at night) 8.Heaven's Gone 9.Moonflower 10.Sunless Star 11.Soldier Of The Light (bonus track--taken from "Intuition" session) Later! -Keiji Nishihara email_address_removed.or.jp email_address_removed.ac.jp ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Feb 1997 10:22:40 -0600 From: Jeff Perrot To: Ytsejammers Subject: online music shops Message-ID: I've had great success with E-music. http://www.emusic.com I haven't seen this one mentioned yet.

They could've ended it just like it sound on LATM. ~2 years ago as a novice Y'Jammer, this was the first question I asked. No has yet given me a good answer, except to say that's how they (DT) wanted to do it. Some compared it to that song on the Beatles' *Abbey Road* that also ends abruptly (*I Want You (She's So Heavy* or *Carry that Weight*) I can't remember which one off the top my head). >>>Quoth Superior Bernd: Hi!

I don't have it, but it's a 2CD set from Milan, Italy (11/15/93). I think it's from the board as well. One jammer who copied me some songs off of it told me that he thinks it's better than TDOE (soundwise). I tried finding this about a year ago 'cause it has some cool stuff on it (puppies on acid, march of the tyrant, OAMOT, barfbag, etc.). But I never found it anywhere. Then Mike Bahr did WDATU which basically had all those cool songs on it anyway, so I got that instead. Hey Mike: BTW...kick ass job on that disc. I think it's my favorite Bahr disc.

Sorry, dude, hate to burst your bubble, but I just recently got the same 2CD set for $40 from my local dealer. I hate to rip you on this, but it seems unfair to sell it higher then that to me. I think their still in stock. I'll ask him who his dealer is and get back with you on this. I know it was made by Why Not? records from Italy. Mebbe you can find em on the net somewhere. This is definitely THE boot of the I&W tour to get, though.

The price he's asking for this set is a fair price (I paids $50 for mine). You're post was highly uncalled for. How would you like it if you were selling something and someone posts and says "you're ripping people off because I can get it for less." Personally I don't give two fucks what you paid for your discs and I'll be sure to buy nothing that you might ever sell. And just TRY selling something on this list and I'll make sure people NEVER forget the shit you pulled here. Why Not? is part of KTS, but this disc is no longer in print.
