He told me that he wasn't much into Rush anymore and had been trying to sell it for awhile. I told him that I was a big Rush fan and so he sold it to me for $5. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know if my point got across, but oh well... I think you two oughtta purchase Dare to Dream then. It's funny, I think that live album of his attracted more listeners than any of his studio albums. I love it and I really don't like live shit. Dare to Dream is a rad one. So's In Celebration of Life. He's got a new compilation coming out on the 15th I guess, so it might be better to get than any of the above. I'll letcha know. BLEAT!

Message-ID: >What I would like is for people to share w/me is the things >you notice about progressive metal, particularly the album design, that you >notice most. What common images do you see? What sort of emotions do they >evoke? I thought i would post some of my ideas that I gave to this guy to the jam in hopes of getting some feedback on my little theory.... One theory that just came to mean was the idea that progressive rock likes to put contrasting images on the cover of their albums. For instance the boy in the snow on ACOS and like the clock face on the moon. A glance at the cover of awake would tell someone looking at it that the albums lyrics might deal with the issues of world perception and self perception. possibly? whereas the cover of ACOS portays the passage of time and its juxtaposition (heh?). This is to tell the potential listener that the music inside deals with issues. Progressive rock is in general issue oriented. thought provocation. Whereas other music may stress the artist or in the case of something like Radiohead: the bends, the cover is not about either the artist or the issues but focuses more on the of the bizarre nature of the group. It says "if you're looking for different its right here!". What is alternative supposed to be anyways.. different; progressive rock.. thought provoking/issues; country... emotional/simple; classical... soothing; jazz..upbeat maybe? whaddya think? am I all wet here? is this obvious to anyone else? There's more but this is the general idea. bruce email_address_removed (yes I'm the OTHER okie jammer) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Apr 1997 01:25:29 EDT From: email_address_removed (Scott Cook) To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: This just in...

Message-ID: I have some awesome new DT material (and a HUGE thanks go out to the provider) part of which will be on Darkest of Winters, and part of which will be released thereafter for everyone. As far as I can tell, NONE of it has been circulated in any form. It's pretty old and some predates DT. I can't wait to see what you all think of this... Oh yes, before I forget. Run, don't walk, to your local theater and see Chasing Amy. Don't pass go, don't collect $200. I didn't even laugh so hard for Nutty Professor, and that table scene was a sidesplitter. The latest in the "Clerks" series is a winner... CA brings us back Gwen the Slut (as a lesbian character), Brodieman (comic book tracer...ah... inker), and has about ten appearances by past characters. It was a riot!

I gots an idear about it though... what if maybe they actually repeated the chorus over and over for effect? You know, the way a person who needs to get a life will just obsess over something and refuse to let it go unless they are just bludgeoned over the head repeatedly with a blunt object? (Or a chorus that just refuses to die for that matter)... Hey Geoff: you oughta get a _verse_. :) SoundGarden: Damn, you wanna talk sell-outs, how about these guys? Badmotorfinger and then Superunknown? What happened there? Not to slag on them or anything since I like them personally, but I am curious why no-one brings up the fact that they used to be just incredibly heavy and then allofasudden turn alternative. Jesus Christ Pose is possibly one of the greatest headbanging tunes ever, and Spoonman just catches a helluva groove on it. Love them or hate them, you at least have to give the band a little bit of credit in the musical talent and originality department.

You know, I was just watching a bootleg of a Portnoy clinic (thanks Fernando :), and Portnoy's rationale for having a double album is that the music once again intertwines, and to only use half of the songs for an album would make the listener miss parts of the story. He said something about balance between the ballads, the prog anthems, and the ballz 'n chunk metal. However, they keep talking about having the album out in Sep/Oct. How is that possible if they haven't even started recording yet, especially if they're doing a double CD? Anyone ask them at a clinic if they've already recorded stuff for the new album yet besides the demos?

I saw where the market value of the Tori cd is up to $90 and the Metallica is $50. The thing is, I need money to support my house repair addiciton and I may or may not sell these, but if the right offer does come along, I could easily part with these. I'm open to some offers. Thanks, Kevin. PS-I've got a copy of Stu Hamm's Kings of Sleep and Echolyn's As The World that I'll part with for $10 each. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Apr 1997 08:33:47 -0700 From: Brian To: email_address_removed Subject: KTS Message-ID: I'm going to out a big order in to KTS on Monday and am worried. What if they take the money and close down and I (and three other people) never get their CDs? Does anyone know if they are really sending these disks out, and if not, what can be done about it?

Message-ID: Hi there folks in ytseland, last night DT was playing here in munich and they were great!!! Setlist was exactly the same as for the Fix for '96 shows in december. The guys really seemed to enjoy themeselves, Mike and Derek were teasing each other all the time making faces.. John Petrucci and John Myung were jamming face to face for a few times - JM was even smiling. James LaBrie just had the perfect voice (_much_ better than in 95 for the Awake tour) and even he was in a great mood... The audience was also really great - carefully listening to the new material, and ecstatically singing and cheering during the older stuff. The only bad thing: Mike Portnoy hurt himself during Learning to live. Sources said he dislocated a finger of the right hand. According to his face and behaviour it must have hurt like hell... but he played Metropolis as an encore nevertheless. But at the end of the show he put his right hand immediately in a bucket full of ice. I met a view of the guys from the mailing list, but didn't see Jason Breitweg or Thomas Pfaller (were you there?). Hopefully enough DTC to justify the following: A big F*CK YOU to everyone who's trying to make the jam worse by senseless discussions about taste and other flamewars.

I went over to the jukebox and what do I see? DT's I&W!!! (You know you are on Long Island if you see DT in the Jukebox.) Well, That's when the fun began.. We played the entire album to a bar packed with alternative fans!!! People looked at us singing along and shook thier heads. It was a joyus occasion, until the cover band started... I knew it was too good to last... WilsonCat (Kevin) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Apr 1997 11:36:52 -0300 From: "Bruno Stort" To: Subject: DT IN BRAZIL!!! YEAH, YOU CAN BELIEVE IN THIS... Message-ID: To all brazilians fans on this mailing list: DT WILL COME ON THE NEXT MONSTERS OF ROCK!!! I just cannot believe either, but is true. I read on the Jornal da Tarde, that DT with Tipe O Negative, Manowar, Judas Priest, DIO, WhiteSnake and some others brazilians bands that is not confirmed, will play on the Monsters. I didn't like this others band, cuz I don't like the roots of Heavy Metal (like manowar), but certainly I'll be there. The gig will happen on august 30th (it's a saturday), probably on Estadio do Pacaembu, SP. Well, I'm very very happy about this, and I expect that DT come again after this concert to a gig where only they will play. Late...

Message-ID: >Believe it or not, James LaBrie said that as soon as they get back in >the U.S. they'll go to the studio to record the DOUBLE album..> This could mean a double album for Europe and Asia, and not North America. I know no more than the rest of you, but quite a few imports of my favorite bands have more than just bonus tracks, but bonus discs. For example, the Japanese version of Living Colour's Pride (greatest hits) comes with an extra friggin' CD! Also, my "Australasia" version of Sting's Ten Summoner's Tales came with a bonus live disc. So, this is a possibility. Sincerely, G. Jack Thetgyi P.S.

Maybe there're guys out there don't know about their re-union,but I'll continue about this. This is their "Neverland" tour in Japan. Original 5 guys Night Ranger. The venue (Osaka Kouseinenkin Hall CAP.2,800) was almost sold out. But most of the audience wa mid or late 20s and 30s with their kids. Highly aged audience,don't you think that? The show started with the song "Neverland" off their latest album (released last month). Wow, they ran across stage! And did formation! Do you remember this? Swinging their guitars. etc..... Such things were reminded me of rock concert of 80s. Some kind of TIME SLIPPING. But 90% of the audience came there to remind them of their youth. he,he....... So there's few reaction from the audience to their new songs. Well,to tell the truth, their new songs ain't better than what they used to play. Some nice new songs are on their new album,that's true. But those songs can't be compared with the songs like "(You Can Still) Rock In America","Don't Tell Me You Love Me". The high-light were "High Enough" (Damn Yankees), "Let Him Run","(You Can Still) Rock In America" ,"Don't Tell Me You Love Me". I think what they are doing right now will NOT affect music scene, but there's some place for them to survive...... Speaking of 80s band, have you ever heard new Dokken? I think I ain't the only one who think their new one (titled "Shadow Life") sucks. Any comment? Thanks. -Keiji Nishihara email_address_removed.ne.jp email_address_removed.ac.jp ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Apr 1997 12:06:44 -0400 (EDT) From: Gilbert Jack Thetgyi To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: Hey hey...(NDTC) Message-ID: > Oh yes, before I forget.
