Newberry" To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: CD-ROMs Message-ID: Hehe, a DT CD-ROM game would rock. I'd post some creative ideas, but the creative-ness of my mind decided to take a hike for the moment. Anyway, speaking of CD-ROMs, I just found out about an Iron Maiden/Eddie-based CD-ROM game (for PC and Playstation) last night on Maiden's web site (official). It's been a while since I checked on the site and stuff, so I may just be a tad out of touch, but does anybody know much about this (other than what's on the site)? Looks like it could be potentially very cool (it's called Melt). Will it be released in the US? Dale R.

I was wondering if anybody knew the story behind the unreleased Dream Theater tune, "Don't Look Past Me." After listening to it, it seems that either Kevin wrote the whole thing, or he was a big contributor to the tune. The tune sounds like it was written during the writing for "Images And Words." The lyrics definately sound like they were in Kevin's style of writing. Any ideas/opinions? -Matt ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Feb 1997 12:09:02 -0700 From: "Vincent G. LuPone" To: email_address_removed Subject: DT tribute CD Message-ID: Do you guys seriously want to do this tribute CD? Okay then, let's do it. First we need a song list. Then we all need metronomes. We'll record at a certain tempo on .wav files at 44 KHz, save the file of us playing to a zip drive disk, and then mail the disk to the dude/dudette who has at least an 8 track recorder and can mix all the different tracks together. Then we can pass the tapes around to others on the Ytsejam for $4 or $5 a piece. I'm sure the band would like it. If anyone here SERIOUSLY wants to get this done, e-mail me privately and we'll set it up. I'm thinking 7 songs right now. Tell me if you agree: Pull Me Under The Ytsejam A Mind Beside Itself The Mirror/Lie Scarred Metropolis Under a Glass Moon I'd be happy to play guitar on as many as three songs here, but I only really want Mirror/Lie. Like I said, e-mail me if you are really serious about this. I'm all for it. Laterz, (this sig file is really appropriate right now!!)

I threw it out my car window the other day!!! Thanks for the >great reviews! Sick 'em Itchy!!! I bought the NUNO cd yesterday and would give a quick review for anyone who's curious. I'll keep it short. For anyone who loved the conceptial nature of both Pornographitti and 3sides.. this album has none of that. The songs are simple and raw... not a good thing mind you. Most songs sound like attempts at grunge ala Silverchair or Nirvana, who Nuno sites as an influence now (go figure). There are little if any keyboard parts and the guitar solos are sparse and uninteresting, which I thought was impossible for someone like Nuno. Many of the tracks have drum machines and the production is usually second rate. The album in general sounds more like a demo than a legitimate project. There are a few interesting tracks like "Pursuit of Happiness" and "Gravity" but in general the album fails as either a "cutting edge experimental" album or as a "poppy-punkish agnst filled free what I want to do" project. I was looking forward to this album... but right now I would say that I'm disappointed. the dt tribute album: oh..! can I do my polka version of CiaW? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Feb 1997 15:09:06 -0500 (EST) From: Albert Balkiewicz To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: nuno review Message-ID: > the dt tribute album: > oh..! can I do my polka version of CiaW? > > EXCELLENT!

Let's keep it off the jam.. Message-ID: I think you are a fool. You are probably some little computer freak that sits in front of his computer at work masturbating to ytsejams. I am not ignorant. You flammed the album. An album that I and many people I know enjoy. Does it every occur to you that music changes? I was defending the album just like you were defending yourself. I enjoyed OM, as much as Empire, and I love PL as much as all of them. If I were you I would think twice about "smearing" someones name all over the jam. You are a conservative person who can't handle change. So you might as well consider removing yourself from the jam, you won't like the NEW Dream Theater album because it is different. You better start taking regular doses of prozac because all this change is going to freak you out. The people are going to be the same (just like QR) but the music is going to be different. (just like QR) I would think twice about flamming someone's defense of one of their favorite albums. It also shows immaturity on your part writing a page response to a paragraph of opinion. Grow up little boy you have a lot to learn.... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Feb 1997 15:38:04 -0500 (EST) From: Jeremy Kube To: email_address_removed Subject: an apology I hope you will accept., NDTC Message-ID: First off all I might as well start off by saying if you can flame the damn album that I like I can flame you. If you can't take it like a man don't take it at all. I was defending a showing of talent. How would you like it if you put all your heart an soul into an album for a few years and then you were told that it "sucks" "Suks Nadz" or equivelant. I apologize for voicing my opinion, I have one you know. It's nice to know that I can defend an album that has 2 moods, agressive and post-aggressive an album that shows more musical talent than the other albums but yet, doesn't have the catchiness that the other albums. I don't know I guess I touched upon a touchy subject that I will drop now. Sorry... Later, J ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Feb 1997 14:48:50 +0000 From: "Dale R.

It's completely different from what I would have expected them to put out. It's not at all like Mindcrime or Empire (well, a few parts of Empire), it's just a completely different side to what the band can do. If the music is good, it's good, expectations can be a bad thing at times. Just beacause it's not in the same vein as past albums, doens't mean it sucks.
