Thank you. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 May 97 18:32 EDT From: Soul Madness To: email_address_removed Subject: New Stuff Message-ID: Just a couple really quick reviews: Queensryche- Rage For Order Yes, I just got the CD and some of it reminds me of Warning while others are totally experimental which I love. Gonna Get Close To You scared the fuck out of me- the stalker song...awesome. The Killing Words I have only heard acoustically previously and the full band version is great although another scary one. Screaming In Digital and Chemical Youth kick ass too. Kerrang Sampler Album Well, don't expect anything gothic on the new Paradise Lost album- the song on here called Soul Couragious is cool yet just not metal anymore but it definitely kicks ass. The new Testament song John Doe is pretty cool although standard Testament. New Motley Crue- I personally don't like it but thats me- the song was Find Myself. New Faith No More sounds kind of techno but alright. On order: Flotsam And Jetsam- High and of course, Dream Theater- PT and TDOW.... >>>>>>>AUTHORIZATION DENIED- PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO ACCESS YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1) Beat the living hell out of it 2) Press all the buttons at once 3) See how many pieces of glass you can make out of your computer screen 4) Take all the remaining wires and mangle them to death 5) Light the thing on fire with the remains of the cigarette you are no doubt smoking at the time. :::::::Don Compton::::::::: email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 May 1997 15:42:01 -0700 From: Adam Barnhart To: email_address_removed Subject: Wonko the Sane Message-ID: I'm not having a busy day at work.... >Date: Thu, 29 May 1997 01:43:59 -0700 (MST) > >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. She has her normal singing voice and her dolphin voice. Still, I'd say her range is seriously impressive, particularly for a pop singer, as they're generally only called on to assemble a melody within an octave or so and phrase a little bit. If nothing else, she's made an effort. >From: Charlie Patel > >In response to Wackilla Ice's message: > >It was me who said that Sarah McLachlin's music is crap. I mistakenly = >mistook her bassist for John Myung. Her actual bassist his Brian Minato. = >Thank god I was mistaken Thanks to Wackilla Ice for verifying that John = >is not a crap artist... > >Myung rules! Myung is a hell of a bassist, obviously. Though my style was pretty well developed by the time I stumbled across Dream Theater, I will certainly say he's been an inspiration, if not much of an influence. On the other hand, I rather like Sarah McLaughlin. Of course, I'm more inclined to folkier music than most of the other people here, as witness my predilection for Dar Williams. I also think the world of Leo Kottke and Simon and Garfunkel and John Fahey...and a whole bunch of other folks who, generally speaking, fall into some category in that part of the musical universe. Sarah McLaughlin isn't THAT high up my totem pole, but I certainly don't agree with your assessment of her music as "crap." >From: email_address_removed (Scott Cook) > >Maybe someone in the Lost Angels area can answer this better, but I >remember when KLOS used to play The Seventh Day on Sunday nights. >The host was "uncle" Joe Benson. Yep. As a Long Beach (California) expatriate, I can verify that one. KLOS did that for years (for all I know, they still might, they did it up until I left in 1994). They played all kinds of albums, generally in a classic rock vein, generally pretty good stuff. Lots of Rush, of course...Zeppelin, Floyd, Genesis, Cream. Pretty standard issue stuff, though, again, towards the end of my time living in the LA Basin, they were also playing R.E.M. and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I honor all my influences by not playing on their birthdays. And in the case of Randy Rhoads & Criss Oliva, the days they died. I still do my theory studies, I just don't look at a guitar for those 24 hrs. Everyone's been listing top 5 vocalists. So, as a guitarist... My top 5 guitarists w/reasons why: (in order) =========================== 1> Randy Rhoads (Precision - The best ever) 2> Criss Oliva (Speed & power - Beyond belief) 3> John Petrucci (Finesse - Shred's crown prince) 4> Frank Gambale (The God of sweep-picking) 5> Liona Boyd (No comment...the name is synonymous with classical guitar) These are lean times for fans of bands like DT, Savatage and the like. I believe the faithful's patience will be rewarded...metal will rise to prominence again. Wait-n-c. These are only opinions..."discussions" by e-mail welcome.

I was in grad school in the larger LA area for a number of years, and taped many a CD off the air (in my poor mode), although my most treasured of recording are the series of U2 'Wilde' compilations of rare/import/B side U2 songs. One of the other DJ's is/was an avid collector of U2 music, and she let Uncle Joe make the compilations, which were aired about the times that a U2 tour was in the area.

I've been reading from time to time people raving about Symphony X "Divine Wings of Tragedy". Can anyone offer up a review as to what they, or at least this album, sound like? Lately, I've been on a "Euro-speedmetal" kick after discovering Angra, Gamma Ray, and Stratovarius. (Thanx, Jason! :-) ) Does Symphony X sound like these guys? I'm waiting for my 2 Angra CD's to be sent to me (I've only heard "Carry On" and loved it), and I have "Land Of the Free" by G.R. and "Episode" by Strat, in case people wanna use those as a point of reference. Oh yeah, I've heard that the latest Stratovarius blows away "Episode". Is this true? Thanx, Jammerz.... Matt T.

Each of the Queensryche shows will be opened by a local act so it might very well be Dream Theatre. We are waiting for a full list of all the confirmed opening acts, but the best thing to do is check with the venue and the local radio station supporting it. All the best. -ERIC <<< If DT can't make how about 1 of the following 3 Philly bands: 1) The reunification of Echolyn 2) 3/5 of Echolyn - Still 3) Symphony X how about that...I paid to see that (oh shit, already shelled out $40).

I heard it before, but just revieved DWOT. I think it smokes so far!...The question I have for other people is, is Michael Romeo the Big Hefty looking guy on the band picture??? I'm just wondering because usually the guitar hero's are lanky and skinny looking. No offense to Michael if that is him. I think it's great!!!!!!! It's just that I have a friend who is about his size(if that is him), and although I think he's great, he doesn't think he will ever be that good because of his size. I know it doesn't make any sense, but I think it's because he's seen too many guitar hero's with the same size and shape.......By the way, for those who haven't heard Michael Romeo's playing, THE MAN SHREDS!!!!!! He is up there with the best of them that's for sure!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody > else notice this gap? YES! This is absolutely correct. I'll admit, it is amazing to listen to her, but it gets really old really fast. And I STILL don't believe that she has a six octave range. > There's this norweigan guy, Jan Werner Danielsen who indeed has a six > octave vocal range .... Cool. What kind of voice?

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 In fact, no. There are 5 registers of the human voice: vocal fry , chest register, head register, falsetto, and whistle tones. What Mariah Carey does is called whistle tones. In this register, the vocal folds are very close together and so tense that when the air goes through them the sound is that of actual whistling of the folds. This tension gives her the high notes, but it is also what has killed her head register. Most of the rest of her singing is in the chest register. She does have head voice, but she can't give it any power or she'll crack into whistle tones, so she has to belt it out in chest voice. Vocal fry is the sort of "clicking" noise that your voice makes when you are tired or something. That involves the vocal folds being tense all around the edges, but loose in the middle, thus making the sound that you hear the actual pulses of the vocal folds, like the buzzing of the lips as if to play a brass instument. The differences between the other registers are the subject of much debate in the legit voice training world, so I will not get into them here. In legitimate, Bel canto singing the soprano should have about two and a half octaves, tenors the same or slightly less. A baritone's range should be comparable to the tenor , or slightly less. Basses usually have the high notes equivalent to baritones , just extending lower. The Mezzo-soprano voice is by far the most elusive, with some mezzos having three usable octaves. You haven't lived until you've hear a mezzo sing Schubert's "Der Tod und Das Maedchen" and sing the low d at the end. Woah.
