The same issue also has a page talking about the band Altura, and >mentions their Dream Theater influence. Hmm, this is about the closest this >magazine has come to talking about DT since Awake came out. I hope they hurry >up with the new album :) Speaking of guitar mags... I just started looking at a current issue of either Guitar or Guitar World (both of which I am just waiting for my subscription to run out), and it is a whole issue dedicated to Mtv. This is all fine and good I guess, but the editor's comment in the beginning really rubbed me the wrong way. He said something to the effect that everybody should be watching Mtv, because anybody that is of any talent wil be seen there. What? Has this guy been watching the same Mtv as the rest of us? I am almost mad enough to write to them, but I don't want my letter printed in the stupid letters section where all they do is rag on Metallica/praise Metallica, rag on Van Halen/praise Van Halen, etc... What ever happened to guitar magazines that are for guitar players? I mean, I remember reading magazines like Circus and Hit Parader way back in the hair spray 80s just to try and get info on Iron Maiden and Rush...but then started getting guitar magazines to learn guitar and find out about all these really talented musicians from every genre of music imagineable. It was great. Now all of these mags rehash the same trendy bands, and praise their guitar players like they are the next best thing since Hendrix. Now I know that the guys who work for these magazines must be pretty decent guitar players, they can't really be this lame, can they? you would think that some of these guys with more scruples would have split and started their own magazine where they can actually talk about talented musicians and not just the trend setters. Well, that's my Monday morning rant ! Everybody go out and spread the word about all the great musicians that you have discovered, because they sure aren't going to get any support from our trend conscious media....

I suppose its not too cool...how they phrased it. They are a pretty good band though kind of a cross between Black Sabbath/Faith No More and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Its definitely something different to listen to. Although most ytse-jammers wouldn't like their second release, Dropped, much darker but I don't know if you could really call it grunge.

YES! And they work quite nicely on "Where Are You Now?" With all the talk about stylistic preferences and what constitutes selling out, I must say I like the sound on this one. The simpler guitar sounds remind me a little of SoundGarden. I personally like having the best of both worlds: something that's accessible during parts of the song and complex during other parts. I don't find anything wrong with DT putting out some great ROCK tunes that will get airplay; and I'm sure they have no problem with airplay either :) It's one way to feed the machine and maybe it'll get people noticing the depth of the talent. I don't call that selling out. Anyone have any thoughts on the above? Hey, BTW, nice job of you and D-man bringing the discussion back around to DT :) > From: Jim > People are confusing higher education (college/university) Higher education got you down?

I'd bet,though, that if they put out even just a reggae SONG, that it'd be some of the best reggae you've ever heard :) It's the ability to take a genre outside of their main one and incorporate it into their sound that gets them the respect from this fan.

I had 3.0 installed, but when I had to re-do my install of WIn95 over Christmas (nearly new computer) -- I only instaled 2.0. My bad, I'm a goof. And I got Divine WIngs before I got Damnation Game, and I do a progression in their style. It's subtle, and mostly in terms of song construction rather than playing, but it is there. Also, the albums are only a year apart. With most bands that take two or three years between albums, we can expect quite a bit of progression and change, but with only one year, I expect less so. Remember when bands put out a new album every year? They didn't change a whole lot back then, either. __ /\ __ __\/__\/__ ~Chris \_||_/ /__||__\ http://www2.ucsc.edu/people/aspect/ // \ | \\ http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/9597 (coming soon) \| ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Apr 1997 19:00:54 -0400 (EDT) From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Power Of Omens Message-ID: Just a little note for anyone who's interested: Power Of Omens has just signed with DCA Recordings, (Pysco Drama & Lethal are two bands currently on that label), and is currently in the studio doing pre-production work for the up-coming CD.

Message-ID: Just wanted to clear up some of the confusion about all this MM origins stuff. As far as I know, MM is not the guy from Wonder Years, but is in actuallity the guy who played the older brother in Mr. Belvedeare. His name is Brian something I think, and I was reading an interview with Trent Reznor a little while back (Rolling Stone I think) and he was talking about production with MM and called him Brian instead of MM.

Yes it is paul from the wonder years. He is marilyn Manson. He got bored with his life after the show and went to school. He dicided he needed excitement in his life and came up with this character. He's doing better now than he ever did. I saw this on a television show. I find Marilyn manson a very annoying band. not something I would listen too. I am a big Prog. fan. DT are my most favorite band.

When I play "hextuplets" in 4/4 time, when each count of "four" beats has ended, I have played a total of twelve notes. I refer to these as "twelfth notes" because there are twelve of them in a measure. I don't know who created the first methods of counting time or who decided that Western music would be divided primarily by the number 2 (with a little help from brother 3), but if the phenomenon of having eight notes per measure is called "eighth notes" and the phenomenon of having sixteen notes per measure is called "sixteenth notes," then twelve notes per measure simply equals "twelfth notes." If you have 54 notes in a measure, they are logically called "fifty-fourth notes." If you imagine that this sort of thing can't be done (or counted or played), then you must seek out the Jedi Shredder, Paul Gilbert. He will show you how to uncount what you have counted, for only then will you have counted something. ---- > From: Pat Griffin > Subject: More clinic stuff... > > Another couple of notes from the DS/JP clinic.

If you haven't tried playing with a Dunlop Jazz III, give it a shot. It has a built-in precision that will work wonders for your chromatic playing, among other things.
