Message-ID: Yeah, my li'lest bro has a couple of her CD's, and I could stand a couple of her songs when I was in junior high school, but... after a little bit of insight from my terminally-singing Music Theater major room mate and a little more research into Mariah's songs, she has this "normal" range (forgive me, I have NO idea what the range is), this HUGE gap in between, and then the falsetto/scream/wailing range. Anybody else notice this gap? Yeah, I'm impressed whenever I see glass break (oh, btw, has anybody seen this wierd as shit German movie about this boy who falls down stairs to prevent himself from growing up, and lives his life as a midget who can break glass with his scream and less-than-Porntoy drumming abilities?) at the sound of some GUY'S voice :P, but heh, I personally get a kick out of 'em guys with the third testicle...Type O 'n shit.

I'd bet against mr myung being in that video.....but i've been wrong before, and i'd love to be proven wrong now......even if it were, what effect could that possibly have on DT? maybe he just happened to walk across the set while they were shooting the video, and ms. mclachan just dug the way he walked, so silently and untalkitively.....or was he actually playing his instrument in the video talking about radio stations playing full albums....... WRIF in detroit used to do something a while back they called "the seventh day"......on sunday mornings, they would play 7 full albums back to back to back....i remember taping the Scorps' Crazy World album, and taping a van halen album less than a week after it was released (i wanna say it was for unlawful...., lost the tape, had no interest in getting the album for real, don't remember no more....) partha ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 May 1997 10:36:50 -0500 From: "The Notorious B.I.G.

I went to see Angra at a city nearby, and I was amazed at the number of people wearing Dream Theater shirts. Literally 2 out of 10 people had a DT shirt on, and there were more than a thousand people in the club (they reportedly sold 1200 tickets). The only band that had more people wearing their t-shirts was Iron Maiden (still huge down there). Lots of Angra and Manowar shirts, too... Another interesting fact, for guitar players, is that, having seen Angra twice, I noticed that the two guitar players exchange solos on songs from one show to another, especially in the songs from the Angels Cry CD. I noticed at least a couple songs where compared to the previous show I had been to (July 96) they had exchanged the solo. Finally, they had a "guest" on the song Streets of Tomorrow, which was the guitar player from the original line-up (he left before the Reaching Horizons tape). That guy also played the solo just as well as if he had written it himself. Well, maybe he did :) Btw, the concert was great, just as good as the one I saw last year, and it was perfectly flawless. I still can't believe Andre Matos is as good live as he is, but he does pull off everything he sings in the CDs. Even the end of Make Believe. I can't believe Iron Maiden refused him (that is true, my friends). Well, lucky for us. Angra is better than anything Iron Maiden could ever have done.

That sentiment seems to be echoed an awful lot here. The advice to go back and look at their early work is good advice. I'd say "Ear Candy" is their second-best effort, sandwiched between "Gretchen Goes To Nebraska" (their second record) and "Out Of The Silent Planet" (their first record). 2) Ran into another site with some progressive music info.

Very cool stuff, Dominici hits all his notes. I was suprised to see 'To Live Forever' which I always thought was a IandW era song. There are only about 30 or so people in the crowd. I think it is called a MCA Records showcase or something. I also got a NY awake show and was pleasantly suprised to see them play 'The Ones who help set the sun'. I could have sworn that DT played Innocence Faded at the SF awake show. Can anyone confirm that? How about some more reviews of that new Bruce Dickinson! Hopefully he ditched all that Skunkworks stuff. To anyone who will be talking with Ray Alder on aol, be sure to ask him why they cancelled the Corona, CA show and also when they will tour the US. If anyone can transcribe it, that would be cool. layba day Conrad Now Playing: CRIMSON GLORY- Transcendence DEATH ANGEL- Act III ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 May 97 11:24:57 PST8 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Myung is NOT a crap artist!

I actually saw this video last night, it was for her song called Posession (pretty cool tune), but the bass player did resemble Myung quite a bit (head down, long hair, 6 string bass), until he looked up towards the camera... (or when you saw that his fingers were definately NOT breaking any speed limits ).... ~Mike ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 May 1997 14:54:06 -0400 From: Eric Rodger To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: new vids Message-ID: At 11:15 AM 5/29/97 -0700, you wrote: > > I managed to get a very very bad copy of a DT show from > 1989 with Dominici on vocals.

I think it is > called a MCA Records showcase or something. To Live Forever was definitely pre-Images and Words. I have several shows with Charlie singing this song, including the MCA showcase. The showcase is an impressive show, the songs, the lighting, etc.. but I don't think it was very representative of most shows with Charlie. A couple that I have he really really sucks on. Especially when trying to sing Metropolis (which BTW dates back as far as Charlie's existence in the band). FYI, Metropolis, A Change of Seasons, and early versions of TTT and LTL appear on the Sundance instrumental show from 1989 (I think), and To Live Forever, Metropolis, ACOS and LTL appear on the vocalist audition tapes, which show their age a bit. > I also got a NY awake show and was pleasantly suprised to see > them play 'The Ones who help set the sun'. I could have > sworn that DT played Innocence Faded at the SF awake show. > Can anyone confirm that? The first few shows of the Awake tour included both IF and TOWHTSTS. IF was dropped within the first 5 shows, and TOWHTSTS lasted a little longer, but was dropped from the set soon after and replaced by a Petrucci/Sherinian jam (possibly the Awake heavy jam that appeared on Bahr's Subconscious). I caught the show in Pittsburgh which still had TOWHTSTS, but not Innocence Faded. I don't think IF ever appeared in the setlist for the remainder of the Awake tour, but was played later after ACOS was released (possibly the Home for the Holidays 95 shows). Hope this helps.

Ever hear of Mariah Carey?? 6 octaves, bud. Reply... I'd agree she make noise in 6 octave, but can you call the upper part of her range singing or just controlled squeaking?? Is this the female equivalent of the male falsetto voice, which can just about double even a 'normal' person's range (provided they can stay in tune)?? (Although I'm not the lead vocalist type, I've had some professional voice training from the late Dr. Dietrich Friesen, who happens to be the father of Eugene Friesen, the well-known cellist who plays w/ Paul Winter-for all you new age-jazz aficionados). -Randall email: email_address_removed ***"We are Microsoft.

Message-ID: Hey jammers! I just got 2 nice DT CDs in the mail. Yep, precious things and the darkest of winters. Raise the knife is pretty cool and so is lost without you. When I heard that song, I felt that I should have a candlelight dinner. Don't know why. TDOW kicks my ass! Very cool stuff on that CD. I really liked the acoustic version of WFS; probably even better than the one on acoustic dreams. CIA9ITG kicks too much ass. Wow! Very different yet maintainging the CIAW groove. Oh yeah, I went to both holiday shows and I have a tape of the Birch Hill 95 show, but I don't really remember this song that was on the C D called "home for the holidays jam." I was listening to it and for some reason have no memory of hearing it at the show. Oh well, I must be getting old (yeah right :) Inconclusion, these CDs are a must have for the die-hard DT fanatic aka ytsejammers. Good job Mike!
