The meaning of John Kalodner: John Kalodner is "Nobody can do what he can" There's no substitute of John Kalodner except John Kalodner.

Well, if it's true, he's talking about the album AFTER the next one, because I've seen many interviews with Lars saying album number 7 will be Load pt 2 because there was 2 CDs worth of material in the Load sessions, and Load was supposed to be a double but they decided to release one disk, tour, then release the other and tour again. ======================================================================== "Are you gonna bark all day, little ----- doggie, or are you gonna ---- ------------- ---- bite?"-Micheal Madsen, ---- - ---- Reservoir Dogs -- - - - - - - - -- "Just victims of the in-house - - - - - - - drive-by.

I would like to find some statements by the band members as to the interesting split between their socially oriented lyrics warning of the rapid dehumanization process taking place in the modern world, and their personal embrace of technology in performing. I am thinking here, for instance, of their total wirelessness in concerts (which makes them appear to be able to amplify their voices and instruments without the usual "human" mic cables), but there are many other examples. I know of one interview a few years ago in GFTPM when PL was released, but I was hoping some of you really huge QR fans had any other sources. Have there been any fan-oriented biography type things written on them where such issues are raised? Anyway, thanks for your help. Private e-mail would be appreciated: email_address_removed.

He was at the show in Amsterdam and liked what he heard quite a lot. The downside of this (which was mentioned before) is that he indeed is pushing for a 60 minute (single) CD. I believe that his intent is to create a more commercial (or at least more commercially successful) DT but I dont know this for a fact, just my guess.

First and foremost, thanks to past and present jammers who got me tickets. Really decent of you. Importantly, repeat after me. "JP is really on top of his game." Nobody seems to mention this in their reviews (????) but his playing leaves me in awe. Not that this wasn't the case previously, but at these shows he showed me everything. Maybe people have been lulled into expecting this level day in and day out, I dont know how/why. Absolutely brilliant. The Melkweg was a really decent place to see a show. Great sound system. The best that I have heard DT sound yet. The Noordlight (sp?) was a decent enough venue with terraced platforms for good sightlines but the sound system was pretty lame. Supposedly, Tilburg has built a new complex (with three differently sized halls) so maybe the next shows there will be better although gawd is Tilburg in the middle of nowhere. I'm pretty poor with my geography being from the US, but I think it was near some country like Albania or Belgium or something ......:) It would have been nice to have more varied setlists (even Enchant who were really decent as a warmup band mixed things up a bit), but if you had to ask for a setlist, this would have to be close to the best. Especially two shows back to back in the same city. Peruvian Skies and Lines in the Sand remain far and wide my favorites of the new stuff. I really hope that they dont let some clown water these songs down when they record them. The biggest highlight for me was the extended version of Another Hand/The Killing Hand. The slower jazzy part in the middle was great. Great to see Derek fitting in so well with the band. I even heard the keys in the mix a little. Really. And, James sounded really great - especially in Amsterdam. Thanks need to go out to MP for putting on one hell of a show each of the nights despite being sick as a motherfucker, especially in Tilburg. James does, however, need to take a few lessons on crowd management. At the second Tilburg show, he got himself in quite a bit of a pickle. Well, the incident started when Derek got a hold of James' mike and made a joking reference to James sounding like David Lee Roth. This quickly deteriorating situation was not helped one bit by the fact that each of the boys started playing VH and DLR excerpts although it was funny as all hell. James motioned a few times for the boys to cut the shit and I really believe that he was completely pissed off. Then a heckler or two says something. James = "What is this - some kind of fucking circus ?" (said at every show ??) One particularly Rude Heckler says something James = "What do you think we are, a fucking jukebox ? (note no humor conveyed) Do we look like a fucking jukebox ? Did you pay all that money to yell at a fucking jukebox ?" (me now remembering that the prices indeed were a bit high) Rude Heckler continues to say something James = "Shut the *fuck* up" (very stern tone, note no humor at all) Heckler says something more James = "If you dont shut the *fuck* up, I'm going to come out and kick your ass" At this point, Mike is pleading with his hands to try to calm these people down. James had really painted himself into a corner. If the hecklers said almost one more thing, I really feel that James would have left the stage. He really had no choice. I think that James needs to lighten up, if this is possible. The rest of the band seemed really mischievous, humorous and fun and this is probably the best way to handle a situation like this. James should take lessons from frontmen like Fish on how to handle these situations because they are bound to keep surfacing. Its best to humor them and try to let them get their steam out. And definitely dont back yourself into a corner with them. He actually came across as just as rude and childish as the hecklers. >> Trail/trial of tears. >> Oh! Oh! Oh! What's it sound like? I am very poor at articulating thoughts on a new song until I have had a few listens, but I do know that it was about 12 minutes long. I had trouble identifying the song structure for the first 1/2 of the song due in part to the poor sound system but the last 1/2 was a bit more easier to follow and seemed to flow well. Neil Elliot is really a decent person and I want that silver majesty lapel pin !!!!!! He said that there were rumors of "increased material" being made available to fanclub members in some form. Hmmmm. Tits on a Ritz !! If ever there was a petition to be circulated it should be to Neil to make this a reality. What a great idea. Especially if some producer is going to eliminate the material that is "less accessible" from the official releases. Finally, hello to Bart, Rudy (rip), Graham and Cob - had a lot of fun watching fat Frank sing Wild Thing, etc. !! To Graham - beware of all that cola. Could be a sign of a problem. Have you fallen asleep yet ?? Should have gotton right back on the horse.

Enjoy! This angst filled chicken begins by running across the road as fast and furiously as it can and it begins to attract some attention early on. Sensing this, it refine's it's running style into a well-polished, Lightning-fast stride. Out of nowhere darts a speeding bus and rips off one of the chicken's wings, its favorite wing. VERY quickly paramedics fix up the chicken and give it a wing transplant. While still a good wing, it doesn't even compare to the severed one. ...And the chicken runs again, but he's getting tired now and he's getting older and he begins to slow down. The public seems to like this slower, cleaner approach, but the people who were behind the chicken from the start feel betrayed that he didn't keep up the fast pace. He seems to maybe have lost the ferociousness he once had, but some still believe he has it in him somewhere. Now the chicken stands in the middle of the road pondering the question, "Which direction should I go now?" Anyone up for guesses as to who this band is? It should be blatantly obvious :) Peace and love, and good happiness stuff, ~Vince =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/6933 | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Apr 1997 16:07:41 -0400 From: Adam To: email_address_removed Subject: DT Boots...

Why bother pushing for a 60 minute cd when you have the 74+ minutes worth of material. I would think that a 60 minute cd would be just as commercially successful as a 74 minute one, because last time I checked, a 60 m. cd still costs the same as an 80 minute one...maybe this new producer is a lazy fuck? So we've all heard it stated that DT will probably release just a single cd this time around, and I'll guess that we all grudgingly agree that this WILL be the case, so let me ask this. Wouldn't we all be as happy as furry little woodland creatures to see the boys change their image if we got a double cd release out of it? If smashing pumpkins can put one out...

"Dream and Day" from the upcoming TDOW CD was on a tape full of demos and material I got from the WDADU era. Ironically, the "A Vision" tape came from a different source. Dream and Day is, as far as I know, an instrumental not heard anywhere else in DT lore. It's rather short, and has an abrupt ending like Pull ME Under (or perhaps it's a real tape cut!) but it's really cool sounding. I think a lot of you will dig it. It sounds like... hmmm. I'm not sure! Like a cross between Where's My Thing and Ytsejam. The other WDADU demos will be featured on an upcoming CD, which may or may not wait for the real release (remember, I told DT I would slow down on releases so as not to steal their thunder here on the net). I had the tape of demos for a long time, and couldn't use it because I had promised my source I'd keep it under wraps. However just recently another source gave me a slightly clearer copy, and he didn't give a shit _what_ I did with it, so now that nobody would get in trouble for it, I'll use the material. I already have the next DT boot planned out, and it's a doozy. I'll tell you all this right now: everything on it is uncirculated. You may all hate me for this... remember two weeks ago when I got second row center for Rush on May 8th? Well, I got FRONT ROW CENTER for Queensryche on June 28th!! Melissa, me, and Nate Bradley will enjoy the view from up close and feel sorry for you folks in the grass. :) How did I get these awesome seats? I just found a ticketbastard outlet (in Gilbert town, of all places) that has a competent clerk that knows how to grab the good seats fast. Get this: I was FOURTH in line! The first six people in line at this outlet got front row.
