Whoah, I didn't even notice it wasn't from the real Merlo! Good thing we have people here who can verify the facts. Though I did find it kind of odd that D-Man was wondering "who wrote that post" when it was obviously Mike Bahr. Then he got the e-mail address wrong as "goodnet.edu." > Nice try, trying to get money out of me for nothing. Fat fuckin' > chance. HEY!! I HAPPEN TO BE FAT!!

Too >much of my money these days is being spent on male hookahs. ^^^^^^^ Maybe it's nothing, but this is how Chris Merlo would pronounce the word "hookers" in real life. Makes me wonder if the imposter has met him in real life. Maybe it was that guy who asked that question at the Petrucci clinic last summer... Person, to Petrucci: "How can I get rid of that muddy tone down on the low barre chords?" Merlo, to Everyone: "Sell ya guitar." Yeah, I'll bet that guy's been stewing over that smartass remark all this time...tracked Merlo down and is now insulting him on the mailing list that was responsible for answering four of Petrucci's questions correctly and snagging a load of t-shirts...

Message-ID: Greetings ye 'jamanoids... Picked up my comics for the week today. This week's loot included Terry Moore's "Strangers in Paradise," currently one of my favorites and a kickass book to boot. If anybody's looking for a REALLY good comic to read, I recommend this one heartily... So anyway, I'm flipping through it and come to a scene of a crowded bar, with music playing in the background. I looked once at the lyrics, then looked again. No mistake: "Pull Me Under" was playing on the sound system! Very cool! For you trivia fanatics out there, these are the lyrics that were weaving between the characters and word balloons: "This world is spinning around me, the whole world keeps spinning around me, all life is future to past, every breath leaves me one less to my last" then moments later the chorus starts, "Pull me under, pull me under, pull me under, I'm not afraid" I always knew Moore had extreme talent (pick up his book and you'll see what I mean) but now I know he has extremely good taste as well. :) Cheers, Phil ========================================================= Phil Carter -- email_address_removed http://www.negia.net/~carter "Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." -- Berthold Auerbach "Music brings peace to the restless, and comforts the sorrowful.

Interesting thing I noticed the other day at Tower Records here in The Castro of San Francisco, they have DT cross-listed under "Developing Artist". How 'bout that?

You'll harbor it silently for decades. You'll spend all your free time planning your revenge. You'll spend your whole life slowly moving the chess pieces towards checkmate. You'll carry the vengeance to your grave. You'll write in your will for a descendant to hunt me down. You'll make your grandson write it in his will for his descendents to eliminate my family line... And when that descendant finally finds the end of my family line, he'll find ME WAITING FOR HIM BECAUSE ITALIAN RAGE IS IMMORTAL. ;) ;) ---- > From: Madelaine > Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 2688 > > > From: "S.

It's out >of question that the guy who did this to Chris is >a complete jerk. However, I'm tired of seeing the jam >go to hell. 80% of it consist of flames, lies, insults, >people fighting each other Actually, based on the last week or two, I would have to disagree with this assessment. We've had cool concert reviews of QR and Rush, a couple of cool DT sightings and updates on their progress on the studio, Bafu's been posting regularly, Chris "the dick" Ptacek is back, and we've used the one really sore spot lately to do what? Insult D-man! ("who'd want to impersonate _him_, anyway?" =) For the most part everyone has been pretty light-hearted, intelligent, and funny lately (what's WRONG with you people???). Of course now that I've said this, it's a signal that the quality of the list has peaked, and the stage is set for the whole shebang to slide down into the bowels of hell once again so the cycle can begin anew.

I can be quoted saying the person who was/is imitating D-man is *trying* to give D-man a bad image. Not succeeding. I myself am 'gayer than a hootie' and am not saying that the person succeeded. D-man has actually earned more respect from me for *maturely* (compared to our imposter) pointing out that this other person wasn't the real him. And I've been on the jam with a few different e-mail addresses for about 3 years, so I have a general idea of what happens here. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Jul 1997 15:32:20 -0700 From: Darla JeRene Anelli To: email_address_removed Subject: Sheer Accident Message-ID: Has anyone heard of this group?

The album is mostly acoustic and more commercial than the 2 DY albums. Yep, Tommy is back in Styx, he sounds great on the new 'Return To Paradise' live album, check it out, it rocks harder than you thought Styx ever could. I have read somewhere that Ted will return onboard for another DY album later this year/early 98.

I am not gay btw, How convenient. He goes on a big tissy-fit that we hear at least once a week whining about stuff, especially about ppl that are supposedly "gay bashing." Right after this, he makes sure that everyone knows that he is not gay, as if to say that being gay is "bad." I have strong opinions about homosexuals. i will not say what those opinions are, but can we please lose the weekly "this list sucks for the following reasons: blah blah blah" posts? finally picked up Eric Johnson's AVM, and am quite impressed so far. I first got Venus Isle and was not all that impressed.

As for That Wacky Digital Guy being impersonated...I've got $10 that says he's impersonating himself, just so we'll think he's cool. I now have to leave, for I'm playing in a wonderful (shitty) production of South Pacific, and the next to last showing is tonight. No, I'm not acting...(why did I say it like that? nobody asked me if I was.) I'm playing horn in the pit orchestra that's not in the pit, but onstage. Hmm..no .sigs on AOL. My dad made me let him use the Sprynet mail account, even though he never gets any mail. And, I won't list all the CDs in my CD player, because I've got a nifty 25 disc changer. But, the new Machine Head is great, the new Megadeth is moderately cool, and old Rachmaninoff rules.

Cryptic Writings only has some good songs on it. Maybe I was just expectings something very thrashy (this is what you get from hearing those comments on the net) and it was not what I found. BTW, can you tell me what to expect from the other Amorphis releases?? Back to the Megadeth album, what really surprised me is the fact that I didn't see *ANY* post on the alt.rock-n-roll.metal.megadeth newsgroup about the new album!! Talking about thrash, it was really a looong time since I had heard "...And Justice for All". I have been hearing to a lot of "softer" music like Mozart's "Eine Kleine Natchmusik", 40th and 41st symphonies and Beethoven's "The Emperor" (his 5th concerto) and melodic heavy metal (Helloween, Angra). I almost forgot how good were those thrash, headbangin' days from Puppets and Justice. Man, "Blackened" is soooooo good! Every time I hear that begining my head starts to move. :-) But as I said, I'm very much into softer music now. BTW, I heard that there are a couple bands like Dream Theater's "Images and Words". Can anyone tell me which bands are like this phase of Dream Theater (my preferred, BTW).
