I thought I heard someone say >that they did (it was probably those damn voices in my head again, >sorry)=20 No one has the completed lyrics to Metropolis II. This *includes* Dream Theater. The reason that the song isn't listed as one of the ones for the new album (and it says this quite clearly on the homepage) is that they are only including songs that they have demoed, and Metropolis has the music finished, but not the lyrics. Mike told D-man that it was 30 minutes. Derek told me that it was 25 minutes.

It's damon. I've been reading the reviews of Mike Bahr's stuff, and me, being the poor bastard I am, have only Subconscious on tape. I don't mind, I like it, it's nice to have. I also have one of the Instrumental CDs on tape as well, it starts off with Afterlife, It hink. My question to you, my fellow ytsejammers, is can anybody possibly make tape copies of Mike Bahr's DT and Rush stuff? Maybe some of the other DT instrumental CDs and whatnot? I don't necessarily want the CDs, just to hear these things. I'll settle for tapes. Email me personally. Also, to anybody who's done a trade with me and is wondering what happened to my end of the bargain, namely the guy who copied the Ivanhoe tapes for me, and email_address_removed, Chad, finneus Gauge's manager, if he is still on the list, I have been so damn busy, I promise to get the tapes I owe you to you. I feel really bad, I don't want to be known as a bad trader or anything, butthis semester has been so busy, and I've been sick a lot and ... well, you know the deal. ANybody who knows me well enough from IRC should be able to tell you that I am honest, I don't like to screw people, since I've been given the shit end many a time. So bear with me a little longer. Next, due to the disgusting amount of mail I get each day, with the hundreds of mailing lists I am on, I am wondering if there's any way of streamlining the mail I get. I find that I don't read much news on ytsejam, but I really don't want to unsubscribe. I did that with other band mailing lists and now, don't even know what's going on with them. Is voices or metropolis still up? Digest form, maybe? Does alt.music.dream-theater provide any information? I mean 200 plus messages a day is too much for any human being. What do you all think?

I'm surprised this version hasn't turned up on a bootleg somewhere.

Well,I got my "state of art" from the CD Cellar . But I would highly recommend that you NOT order from this place. After getting the QR boot, from him, I ordered a Rush boot and it took about eight months for him to finally say that he didn;'t have any in stock and that he would send me something else. SO I ordered some videos from him. My mom told me last week that the tapes came. So I'm urging you and every other jammer to saty away from thus guy. I hope he goes out of busniess.

Of course, on the other >side all three conditions are reversed. I make that drive daily. It's my commute. And Lord, is it confusing....I mean, I know where I'm going NOW, but it wasn't until I moved here that I had any idea what the hell was going on. In a span of something like three miles, I'm on four different freeways. Urban planning.... But that ain't actually the worst street sign I've seen around here. In San Francisco, on one of the east-west streets (don't rememer which one), there's a big ol' sign saying "3 Left Lanes to Bridge." Now, you're driving just about AT the Bay Bridge (the one connecting SF to Oakland) and what the sign is actually trying to tell you is that is you're in one of the three left lanes, you'll be put on a road that, if you take it all the way back across town (the opposite direction to the one you're currently going), something like 5 miles or so, you'll get to the Golden Gate bridge (which connects SF to Marin County to the north). First time I ever drove around in San Francisco, I saw that sign. No wonder no one has a car around here. Oh...sorry. I'll try to salvage the message. Has anyone actually seen the new John Myung video? The review of it sounded like it wouldn't be a bad investment, but I was kinda curious if anyone had any feedback on it. I'm not really in a frame of mind to get instructional videos at this point, but I was wondering exactly how good it is. Five Gratuitous CD's: ===================== 1. Rush: Moving Pictures 2.

I have in my possession a copy of the $9.98 CD : Garage Days Re-revisited that I am willing to part with. It is long out of print and has pretty decent resale value as a collector's item. It's in great condition and since I picked it up for $20, I'd be willing to sell it for slightly more. Anyone who is interested, drop me an email. If I get more than one or two replies, I'll make it auction style and let you know what the high bid is.

I didn't check out the tracklist for S & S very closely, so it might also be cut short. I'm sure that the one I have (State ...) is from the radio broadcast, since the exclusions are mixed throughout (commercial time, probably) It's still a fun show, and I was there! :) Hey, can someone email me privately with the details on the ozz-fest? i.e. which bands are playing (again, I saw it once) dates if you have them, etc?

I see this every once in a while, and whenever I do, > I can't help but pour over each line & look for that extra spacing > that logic tells me MUST be there. :-) Just pick the right words :-) I've been writing a lot of right justified messages lately, for several reasons. First of all, it takes a bit longer to write an email, because you've got to pick the right words to make all the sentences the same width. You'll actually have some time to think before you post ! Maybe some of you should consider trying it too :-) A lotta messages on this list look like they were written within a matter of seconds. And usually the contents reflects that. Also, a lot of posts contain bad grammar and spelling errors. That's ok if English isn't your first language, of course (I'm Dutch, btw). When you try to use correct spelling and grammar and try to make your post look half decent, that immediately changes the way the content of your message comes across, provided you don't use any profanities :-) Some might even forgive you for posting such a boring off topic post like the one you're reading right now :-) The point I'm trying to make is, re-read your message before you post it to the Ytsejam. Try to convince people that you actually put some thought into it first :-) You also might wanna try to see your post from the reader's point of view. If you think your message will unnecessarily piss people off, just don't post it ! See Jim, no extra spacing anywhere in my message ! It's actually kinda fun, writing messages like this. Wouldn't it be cool if we all posted this way for a while ?
