Anyway, I cannot remember who posted the in depth analysis of the new Queensryche songs, but if anyone out there knows about the new album's songs, or has heard them, can you e-mail me? I'd like a listing of the tracks and a critique, if possible. I must've accidentally deleted the critique that this person whom I can't remember posted. The reason being, I think I heard the last half of one of their new songs on Oklahoma City's KATT, something about "Paris" in it that I remember. I thought it was totally cool, and if indeed this was new queensryche, then I'm tremendously looking forward to the new release! Thanks, Jon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Mar 1997 14:56:26 -0600 (CST) From: Pat Griffin To: ThE NuGgeTjAm Subject: DT Europe dates...

Message-ID: For anyone who's interested, I just put together the new Ytsejam "Most Frequent Poster" and "Domain" lists. Be sure to check out the www-pages people mentioned on the list, last month (they are linked to the names). Just like last month, the list now has the amount of lines posted per person *plus* the percentage of space they used up. If you're not yet on the Ytsejam Birthday Calendar drop off your birthday at the bottom of the Calendar-page. Also, check out the "Most Frequent Poster" list for "Voices". Only two digests with *one* poster on each !

This is true, TBA is their highest seller. it's also the most blatantly commercial radio friendly album just about any metal band has ever done. This record was made to sell as many units as possible and has nothing to do with musical integrity what so ever. >Therefore, it would stand to reason that the band is actually enjoying >Load since it is not trying to follow-up a flop. One of the great things about LOAD (besides that it kicks ass) is that it was not recorded to please the band wagon jumpers that bought TBA and wanted TBA II. >That, plus the fact that over the summer Metallica was having >HUGE problems with Elektra, according to Metal Edge, leads me to believe >that their contract was renegotiated so that Elektra wouldn't loose a >cash-cow like Metallica. Metallica wasn't looking for more money, they were looking for ownership of their songs. As it stood, Elektra owned the rights to their catalog, which meant if Elektra wanted to rlease a Greatest Hits package like that piece of shit one released by Van Halen, that there wasn't anything 'Tallica could do about it. That's why it took so long for them to release LOAD. ------------------------------ Scott ************************************************************************** "There ain't no God while Howard Stern's walking the Earth....

I've ordered from RAM Music as well as some of you. I ordered two Freak of Nature cd's. I got them like 4 days after I called. They were always helpful. Maybe it took awhile because they didn't have them in stock. The place can't be that big. When I called them, they told me to hold while they check. I heard the guy walk out of his desk area and shuffle some things around. Then he came back, and told me they had just a few more. So, this place isn't huge. I think that they will not rip anyone off. I've put them on my credit card two times. I haven't had a problem, yet.

It is a clean place, I don't have to drive to New Jersey (MPP is only 45 minutes from me), and there will be space to breathe (no drunks burning cigarette holes in my clothes and intolerable heat levels). Rush, Van Halen, King Crimson, and similar bands play here, why not Dream Theater.

I've never seen it anywhere else and I think it would be way kewl for them to put it on their next album. The song's called "Last Time on Paris" and it's probably my favorite B-side of theirs. The only other place I've seen this is on a bootleg I saw from the Empire tour and (still kicking myself) never bought. Anywho, I think I'd heard somehwhere before that the band had never planned on re-releasing the song anywhere and that it would be a rare occasion if they played it live. I guess it was a song they just came up with on the spot and thought it was real lame. I think it rocks verily. :) Nuff said... BTW, where is that site where you can preview the new QR stuff? I heard you all mentioning it, but no one ever put it up here that I saw. Disclaimer: All entries posted in this text are copyrighted by KorgX3 and are subject to applicable laws.

Music Message-ID: Howdy, friends! I was the one who posted to the Jam some praise of R.A.M. Music in Milwaukee. I'm responding to Richard Rivera's post saying how it took several months to get his stuff. Wow! I'm very surprised to hear that! I can't say as I blame you - I'd be pissed as hell to wait that long for CD's too!!! I just have never had that problem with them. The only thing I can think of is that they had to special order the discs for you. Do you know if they had to do that or not? When I've ordered, unless they've had to special order some stuff (which they had to do with Shadow Gallery's first album), I've always gotten my stuff within a week at the most. I guess it just goes to show you that at any given time, any mail order place can give you the big shaft in a VERY uncomfortable place.

If I could remember that drummer's name, I'd probably have it. John something, right? BTW, Meatloaf is a dick. When I was a sophomore at Manhattan College, I wrote the music column for the school newspaper. (That was a great deal of fun. I managed to work a Rush quote into every column. :) Anyway, Meatloaf came to play, and I got a backstage pass to interview him for the paper. The performance was mediocre at best. I could tell he wasn't really playing his guitar - he held a G chord all night and strummed. It was an uninspired delivery that night, but the crowd seemed to like it. So, after the show, I sat on a folding chair for 45 minutes while various members of the entourage inspected my pass, sure that it must have been faked or something. After finally being admitted back, and meeting the man, he decided that it was a good time to show off for his manager and whoever else was there. Rather than answer my simple questions (hell, it was my first celebrity interview), he made fun of me and the college and boosted his own ego every chance he could. Finally, after about 10 minutes of this abuse, I'd had enough. "One more question," I said. "You've got an ego that would put most guitarists to shame, yet you haven't recorded anything worthwhile for fifteen years, and you can't even sell out a college gym in New York City. How do you explain this disparity?" I was roughly escorted outside, but it was well worth it. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Digital Man \|/ ____ \|/ Secretary & Webmaster email_address_removed "@'/ ,. \`@" UVM Comp Sci Student Assn email_address_removed /_| \__/ |_\ "He won't need a bed http://www.emba.uvm.edu/~cmerlo \__U_/ He's a digital man" - Peart ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maintainer of the Official Dream Theater Frequently Asked Questions List http://www.emba.uvm.edu/~cmerlo/dtfaq.html ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Mar 1997 22:58:11 -0600 From: "Colonel Mustard" To: Subject: Harris listeners / Petition Message-ID: Ahoy! Just typing to say that Harris still a badass and would like to spread the good word of his progressive shred guitar - SO - if you have never heard Michael Harris and are into the likes of this sort of thing, mail the man and ask for a mail order catalogue! (I think you can also order it from the Leviathan Records page, but Harris is a bit more reliable of a source) email_address_removed Now there... I even stuck it in there for you, saving you a few clicks... get Defense Mechanizms... get Ego Decimation Profile.... get both... listen to it and tell more people... so far he has appeared in a short article in Guitar: FTPM in the previous issue in the groundwire section... it is time he appeared on the cover... need I type further? (For those of you not familiar with Harris, this is not some 12 year old kid in a garage with some recording equipment, though not to rule out that there is some 12 year old in a garage with some recording equipment who kicks more ass before 6 o'clock [on a Christmas morning] than most people do in a week) IN OTHER NEWS ......... Why would EastWest not want to do a double-CD for DT? Am I mistaken that Awake sold MANY (understatement) a copy? Hmmmm.... Oh yeah, just one more... has the petition been sent on its mission to EastWest? I'll be curious to hear the results. In both senses!

Looked for you but didn't see you there. Dammit. Good show, wasn't it? Do you remember the all instrumental song they did, where Maynard James Keenan was crawling around on the stage? What the hell was he doing? The only thing that sucks about the Wallace is it's a pain for me to get to, since I live in Revere and go to school in Fitchburg. It's good for you because you live 15 minutes away.

I was in this truck and Meatloaf had this real disfigured face. There were lots of explosions and there was this real hot looking chick floating around on a bed I think it was. Meatloaf was being accosted by these policemen dressed like Indiana Jones and he kept staring at this chick in his crystall ball. I was trying to hit up on this chick you see, and it really pissed me off cuz Meatloaf flew a helicopter into me and blew me up and rode off with this chick on a motorcycle. I was real mad and wanted to kill Meatloaf but I was dead. He ran over me with the motorcycle a few times and spit blood on me. Of course I didn't notice since I was dead, you see, but it still pissed me off. Oh, wait, his face wasn't horribly disfigured. It was his normal face. Oh, well, not much difference. 8D Anywho, the 1st song on Bat out of Hell II wasn't so bad (I would do anthing for love) but what was it that he won't do? Make the song a little shorter so it doesn't take up the 1st half of the CD and keep playing the same sections of it over and over agian? Anyway, I know some of you are probably gonna flame me, but MEATLOAF, BEATLOAF, DOUBLE BEATLOAF, I HATE MEATLOAF! (How do the little piggies eat? *grunt, grunt, grunt*) Lest I shall place my big IMO here. Nuff about the Loaf of Meat.
