My question is, does anybody know if Kevin Moore will be on bord? And do they have a support band ? By the way - has Dream Theater a support band while touring in the next weeks ? Thanks for your efforts Bye Andi ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Apr 1997 08:42:39 -0800 From: Andrew Forcier To: email_address_removed Subject: HitNF Charting... Message-ID: Hello, Just for those who care: Queensryche debuted at 18 on the album chart and Sign of the Times is checking in at #6 on Mainstream Rock Tracks. And Collective Soul dropped out of the Top 20 albums from #17 last week, but Precious Declaration is the #1 Mainstream Rock Track. Good to see to good bands getting at least a degree of commercial success. But QR at #18? It debuted at #1 accoring to Rolling Stone last time! (Don't have a Billboard report) Where's the support? Or are all you guys protesting their change in sound?

I >have a feeling their prices are about as low as they get for this kind of >stuff. Alright! I can say something for ya. About their 1st album, they had just one record deal at first,I mean their only contract was with JVC-Victor (Japan) and released their first album. After almost 1 years later,they could deal with European record co. So they decided to remix some songs from their 1st album for Euro market. So this is the difference. And e.p. "Evil Warning" is 4 track e.p. including all remixed songs and edit version of Wurthering Hights (s.p?) for Japanese fans. Original version of this e.p. was packaged with Tee-shirts (album cover artwork). About "Freedom Call" Jpn-version. As you might thought,this e.p. is packaged with Tee. So much expensive priced one.

I don't get that channel! :) Actually, the taping of the show is April 4th. Nobody knows when the show will actually air on TV, yet. I'll still be taping it though. :) --- Does anyone know where I can get some more new FW sound clips? I got the 60sec Real Audio file that someone (Dr. Mosh I think?) mention a few jams ago. --- The subject came up a few weeks ago but I never jumped in. Yes, I WAS lucky enough to meet Mike and Chris from Qryche at the Record and Tape Traders in Towson a few weeks ago. My friend and I got there around 11am and had about 20 people ahead of us. They were giving out all kinds of cool free stuff - giant album flats, nice sized stickers etc. You could also buy the album insert ahead of time and it was signed by all 5 members! Cool!!! (I wasn't able to get Scott's autograph 2 summers when they played a softball game against the guys from 98 Rock - he was down in DC watching tennis. What a pansy. :) ) The band showed up almost an hour late, alot closer to 2pm. They got lost or someshit. By that time, there were several hundred people behind us - possibly a 1000?? Does anyone know if they guys stayed later than 3pm? They were only supposed to be there from 1pm-3 but since they showed up an hour late, i would hope that they would stay an extra hour and not turn the fans away. --- I FINALLY got my hands on the Superior album!! I decide that I was tired of waiting for Dream Disc to ship it to me. I ordered it on December 9th and it STILL hasn't shown up yet. I checked with the guys at Knights of the Round and they told me it was in stock so I ordered it from them and had it in my hands less than a week later. I didn't cancel my order from Dream Disc though. I'm just gonna wait and see if it ever shows up. I'll keep ya posted. The album rokz nadz!!!! It's like Images & Words with special guests Yanni and Dimebag! Great job Bernd!!! I LOVE the begining of "Why" where the uptempo piano part starts and the kick-ass guitar riff comes in over top of it. WOW!! Are there any other albums available from these guys? --- Does anyone know when the pictures of the "Fix" t-shirts will be added to the web site? -- /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \ / / L.

I personally haven't heard Sign of the Times (which I'm pretty sure is the first single) anywhere, so that might be a major reason.....plus no "Bridge" either, but I don't know if that single was released before the album came out.... -Al -- @#%^$#%^#$&#%%$&#$%^#$%^#$%&#$%^&#$%^&#$%&#$%&#$%&#$%&#$%&#$%^&%$ | | | See me gone and persevere.... | | Condescending when you label me Judas.... | | | #$%^#%&#%^$*%&*^&*%&(%^&(%^&*(%^&*(*%^&*$^&*#^%&#^*$%^&*#%^&*#$%& | Al Balkiewicz SEND MAIL HERE -->balkiewi @ njmsa.umdnj.edu | | OR HERE! --->DA_PROF @ BIGFOOT.COM | %@#$^@#$^@^%%$&#$&^*$%&*$&*$%^$&$%^&$%^*$^%&*$%^&*$%^*$%^&%$^&%$% ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 10:36:59 -0500 (EST) From: Albert Balkiewicz To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Bach Message-ID: > > Steve Z wrote: > > >I wish this was a joke, but I know it's not.

I'm a musician myself > who can't help but get loud that today's impressionable youth are stuck > hearing crap like Marilyn Manson and Oasis and bullshit dance music. And > the scary thing is...they like this Mtv spoon-fed garbage. This is an issue that you have to see from other perspectives as well. You are in a band... you are a musician. Thus, you are in a minority group in the vast community of music listeners. You hear things differently... like "Wow! That riff kicks ass! How'd he get his alternate picking so clean?!? I've never heard a fretless solo that sounded so perfect! That drummer had a three part polyrhythm going on at once with the keyboardist's minor arpeggio melody!" That's not how it works for everyone though. Some people like DT, and some people like Iron Maiden, and then there are people who don't care. Some people don't seek out new music for themselves. It's been this way since before MTV. The reason MTV spoon feeds people music (from the viewer's perspective) is that it's so convenient. If you're inundated with the same music over and over again, you begin to grow accustomed to it. > We need to do something about this. Try anything you like. The only thing we really can do is show our friends and loved ones the music we find to be superior, and hope that they can see the virtuousity shine through as clearly as we can. There is no way to influence MTV, unless you can pay more than their sponsors. Petitions have tried and failed to get more variety on MTV... they don't want anything but money, and there's nothing wrong with that... it IS a business, after all. As far as MTV is concerned, we'll probably be forced to wait until the trend turns our way once more. > >Someone has the .sig of JP saying that it occurred to him one day that he > >ought to not make sandwiches all his life (something like that) > > What's the story behind this? In, I believe, a Guitar World, before they went to shit, there was a short article about DT. This was before Awake... I think it was in 93. Basically, JP was talking about how he was trying to make ends meet by working at a deli, when he realized "Hey, I know how to play guitar... why not teach?" and from then on, he focused on teaching guitar and playing music. Sort of "Saw the Light" if you will. :) - Chris ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Apr 97 09:08:27 PST8 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Prog magazines Message-ID: > speaking of which, you guys should really subscribe to progression. it's >got the latest info on tons of progressive rock bands. it comes out >quaterly (and hey, with this issue it came with a promo john wetton/geoff >downes cd.) >Also, Expose is another good magazine.

These bootlegs put more money in the mouths of recording artists than is being taken away. Lets put it this way- I've spent over 300 dollars on Savatage merchandise including imports, every studio album, t-shirts, etc. and I own one Savatage bootleg- Mentally Yours. I don't see what the big deal is if you are an avid collector of the band and buy everything you can or most everything before getting bootlegs. The most I would've bought is two or three more Savatage bootlegs and for every bootleg I have, I pay twice as much for the bands merchandise. Same goes for the Dream Theater boots I own, the Paradise Lost one I own, the Seven Mary Three one I own and the Queensryche one I should own if Tunnel Records don't rip me off. Okay, sorry, had to vent!! (By the way, I'm not looking to start a flame war because of this- I just needed to get all this off my chest). As for Dream Theater going rap, imagine all the homies in Dream Theater with all the rap clothes on..Pull me under, pull me under, biatch, I'm not afraid cuz I live in the ghetto with my homies and my fellas..

Well, I know this thread is kinda dead, but I was listening to 'The Graveyard' by King Diamond the other day, and came across some lyrics that need to be shared.
