Lately I have started to see, within my hometown, that people like to judge music on wether it is Christian or Secular(sp?). The first problem I had was with a friend of mine, who is a Christian, who's mother would not allow my bands cd into her house because it wasn't Christian. This is where my problem begins. I am having trouble seeing how people label what is christian and what is not. So with this in mind I borrowed some of her music and listened to it and to tell you the truth I couldn't really see the difference in the lyrics of her music and mine. I also have another friend who goes to the same church and he really likes stuff like DT and Metallica etc. but he will not buy any of these cd's because they are not Christian. However he doesn't hesitate to be the Galactic Cowboys or Kings X because they are. Why can't good music just be good music? I don't understand why music made by Christians is considered Christian music and what makes it any more holy than other music. If a gay person writes a song is it a gay song? What about instrumental or classical music, is it even capable of being classified? I believe that good music is good music no matter whom it is made by. If anyone has any opinions on this please let me know. Thanks for listening.

Message-ID: Hello folks, At work on a Saturday using their phone to call South Carolina to look for apartments. And they complain that I misuse the computer resources...:P Bought My Dying Bride on recommendation. Can't stand the vocals. Its going back on the shelf at CDworld, sorry. Though I do appreciate the info everyone gave on them, they're just not my bag. Also got new Keith Jarret (solo improvisational concert), haven't listened yet; and a Wayne Shorter disc. Don't you hate when you buy a jazz disc and it has all the cheesy *semi-pop* drum beats and synths. This one's getting returned too. Methinks that Dr. Mosh is trying to take over the Jam. Better him than others we have in here, methinks. :) In Adam's changer: >4. Cheap Trick: In Color Just when you thought you'd seen it all! :) Excellent choice sir! >-MD.45 Now there's something I never thought I'd see in a sig... >From: email_address_removed (George Farber) >To: email_address_removed >Subject: I WILL KILL YOU! Ummm.... Are you okay there buddy? >what goes on at concerts when they play 2112 This is usually considered by fans to be the definitive Rush song (though I disagree). It was mostly an enormous turning point in their musical lives, where they decisively cut the cord to their Led Zep style and created their own identity. If you want to get into Rush, most people would say buy this album (2112). I would say Permanent Waves or A Farewell to Kings though. >I just picked up the first album by Tin Machine on CD today for $2. A bargain and a great find. An amazing disc that is constantly overlooked. I can't believe the number of copies of this I see in used bins. Its almost criminal. Bafu wrote: >like Boba Fett to the thermal-detonator-holding bounty-hunter from >"Jedi." That would be Boussh. I think I got the spelling right... Not sure. > Everyone: do NOT trust any e-mail messages from me that are of a > distinctly contradictory nature to my usual stuff.. Damn... I guess this means no new Megadeth bootleg...:) >a third 'unofficial' Damn Yankees album that was put out under the name >of 'Blades and Shaw' Actually, I think it was Shaw/Blades. In case anyone goes looking... >finally picked up Eric Johnson's AVM, and am quite impressed so far. This is far better than VI. Give this one your attention. Particularly the second half (from Trademark on). Fantastic songwriting. >The Impostor That Took the Ytsejam Wow, I mean this guy really changed how I think about things. To think I was such a hypocrite all this time and I wasn't able to see the light. Wait, scratch that... Fuck off and die. >which apply more succinctly to the issue, without bringing in all sorts >of outside meanings. Last time I checked, we weren't supposed to talk about *issues* here, so please drop this before it gets really ugly. >(and in my opinion this is why) regarding gay comments: And let's drop this one too. Now. >Is "passi" a word? I believe he was trying for the word *passe* with an accent aigu over the e, pronounced (pass-ay). But then again, he could just be dumb as a post. >Skip over Christian posts if you hate us. It's not us hating you. Does anyone read the subscribe message anymore? Fuck that. My next post will include it so you all can refresh your absent minds on the GODDAMN RULES!!!! >but this is a MUSIC list How in the fuck can you use this to JUSTIFY that guy making comments. No comments like that of ANY kind belong here! And from way out in left field: >From: email_address_removed (James D Carey) Buddy, he was trying to make light of a silly situation. He got me laughing that's for damn sure. From Mr. Portnoy: >It's incredibly FUCKING WEIRD that you guys have been talking about >King's X on the Jam...... Just imagine what he'd think if he read the last 10 Jams. And its likely he has. Think about it people: Is this how you want the band to think about their fans? -- ______________________________________________________________ "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter..." -Yoda, the Jedi Master ______________________________________________________________ Andrew Forcier a.k.a.

"falling into infinity" may be the gayest (some pun intended) title since torman maxt's "just talking about the universe...so far". eesh. but hey, who am i, right? speaking of gayness....i've been trying to post this on the jam for about a week, but i have yet to see on, so i'll try again.....you see, my whole theory on the imposter situation is this: he's OBVIOUSLY trying to actually HELP d-man. take a deep breath- i did say that, and i'm almost totally serious. i mean, look at it- neil peart is gay, isn't he? and look at how brilliant his drumming was once upon a time. i mean, we've heard so much about the neil-likes-men stupidity that we almost hope he is in our darkest dreams. and of course, one of our very own- i've heard plenty of times on this here ytsejam that derek sherinian is gay. i mean, he almost does look the part. and what would you know? he's a pretty darn good keyboardist. so........there's a connection to be had here. sexual orientation rumors about musicians (usually started by musicians) can only help the accused one's career out. maybe this means d-man's going to be the next bass god. maybe stu hamm will be on his knees. maybe geddy lee. maybe bafu vai? maybe I will (if it were i, obviously, it wouldn't be for his bass playing). so let us ALL praise d-man. i would have suggested praise for the impostor, but he blew his chance by just trying to be too cool, so fuck him. personally, i wish someone said I was gay. that would only mean that my desire to conquer the music world will be attained that much easier. fuck all you healthy people ytsegoon ************************************************************************** david y. kobayashi email_address_removed "i'm afraid of americans, i'm afraid of the world. i'm afraid i can't help it. i'm afraid i can't." d. bowie ************************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Jul 1997 13:59:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Brandon Elhai To: Dream Theater Subject: the music business Message-ID: Jammoids- Got a question.

SFW. i'm not gonna bother forcing any opinions out that its damn ok to be gay because through my LONG TIME debating on this list and ANYWHERE in life; YOU CANT CHANGE PEOPLE. you can rape them up the ass with a garden utensil, but you wont change them. so either drop it, or put a bunch of duct tape over your ass and pray when you go to sleep at night. ~Rip is gone again. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jul 1997 04:39:41 +0900 From: email_address_removed.ne.jp (Keiji Nishihara) To: email_address_removed Subject: New Yngwie Message-ID: Well,I happened to turn on my radio and heard new Yngwie. What I thought is "FED UP w/ Yngwie". All he can play is what he always plays (what he used to play). New vox (ex-Treat etc..) is the cloan of Mike Vecella (s.p.??). The same style again..... And the same guitar play...... Why should I pay extra money for the SAME thing? I have bought all his albums so far (from Streeler days),but this new album may be my last Yngwie album,or my first album I don't buy. Anyway,his new album will come out on the 3rd of Sep. Btw,have you ever heard of new Savatage? I haven't heard it so far. So anyone who heard it,please post about it. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- -Keiji Nishihara 　Doshisha Uni.

I realize this will >probably get me a few enemies, and I'm really a nice guy, but I can't let >this matter go by without me saying what I know to be true. Shit, this thread has been beaten to death already, and I generally don't even waste my time getting involved in threads about homosexuality anymore, because the bleeding heart politically correct socialists throw around the word "homophobe" like it's going out of style. But there's one little thing I've seen pop up a few times in this that bothers me. And that's people assuming it's a choice. The LIFESTYLE is a choice. But being gay is NOT a choice, and how can you blame gay people for choosing the lifestyle they do - what are they supposed to do, pretend they aren't who they are? I sure as hell didn't suddenly think to myself one day "gee, there's a lot of straight people out there, I think I'll follow the crowd". I NEVER made a choice to be heterosexual. If gay people do in fact CHOOSE to be gay, then by the definition of the word "CHOOSE", heterosexual people CHOOSE to be heterosexual. I didn't choose to be straight. I can distinctly remember being attracted to girls as young as age 7-8, and there's no way in hell anyone that age can be mature enough to CHOOSE which sex they're going to be attracted to. I can't believe how stupid and ignorant some people are. If you don't like homosexuality (although this message is for the mostpart supporting them, I will say that I personally find homosexuality disgusting, and certainly DON'T think it's normal as some people pretend it is), and even if you aren't able to tolerate the fact that people ARE gay, at least think before you spew out this kind of crap. In fact, I can't see how it can be humanly possible to believe people choose to be gay - no one is that stupid. I think anyone who believes that is just looking for an excuse to fault gay people for their sexuality. There, I wanted to get that off my chest... I have strong and controversial opinions on this topic, but as I said, I'm keeping out of this conversation. I get more annoyed when I see the kind of ignorance you've displayed than when I see some of the arguments from the pro-gay zealots, because at least they've got their facts straight. You on the other hand make people like me look bad, and it's probably because of ignorance like yours that the word "homophobe" is thrown around so liberally. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Jul 1997 21:33:59 +0100 From: Graeme Nicholson To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: About Berklee... Message-ID: >I fail to see how this is a bad thing. >Well, that is my two cents. Feel free to slam away. Corey, you GOT INTO BERKLEE. Who cares what anyone else thinks or says about the place, you're going to walk where GIANTS HAVE WALKED. This practically guarantees that you're going to have a profound understanding and appreciation of music that many could only dream of attaining. Please get in touch when it starts and let me know what it's like. ..Although, surely if both Petrucci AND Vai left after only a year, you should do that too!

Message-ID: I was reading the official rsabbs site just now, and I noticed a tidbit in there about James singing "Freewheel Burning" on the Priest trib. What happened? He sure wasn't on the trib, nor was that song. Does anyone know? I just got the new Divine Regale and new Testament in the mail! Woo hoo. Reviews to come.

I replied to it and I was talking about sending him some blanks for it. Since then, his letters have been deleted, accidently, along with almost 1700 other emails. I don't remember his mame, but IF YOU ARE THIS PERSON, please get back to me so that we may further discuss this deal. Thanks. -C.
