It lets me know how much farther I need to go when I cross the Harvard bridge to go to class.

If that's the case, then Mike Portnoy tries too hard, too! Just because someone has mastered their instrument doesn't mean they've tried too hard. Anyway, IMO, I think if there is someone out there who could beat Portnoy's ass in drumming, it is Weckl. He has such precision and a strong feel of keeping the time and such, esp. for jazz!! I played to MANY Dave Weckl tunes in my private lessons in high school, and that is some of the TOUGHEST drumming I've ever had to play to. TOUGHER than RUSH, and even perhaps Dream Theater (although I've never tried playing double bass....). Dave Weckl plays some kicks that sound like a double bass kick, even though he doesn't play double bass. The man is AMAZING!! Just my fat, humble opinion.... -Jon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jul 1997 11:12:31 -0400 From: "Blevins, Mike" To: "'email_address_removed'" Subject: Scales, pictures, humor, and harmonies...

Message-ID: Hi everyone, I was going through different e-zines today. I came upon one called Edge of Time(I forgot if it was 'Time' or not). Anyway, I started going through their interview section(hehe, you'll love this). And there was this band called "Spinal Architect." So, I start going through the interview, and, these guys keep mentioning that they only try to sound like "good progressive" bands(remember that line :). Next thing I know they start going off on how they tried to sound like Qr & CG, and since Qr & CG sound "so" comerical(sp?)(That means they sound too comerical, too ;), that they had to try to sound like *another* band(see a trend here? :). Then the interviewers start saying band names and SA is supposed to say how they like them. Ok, FW got some praise...on DT...well...hmm, er..."The first album is the best. "Awake" sucks. First, it's too long..." That's the whole quote. Now, I don't care what they care is good or bad. But what really bugs me is that they say "First," and there's no 2nd or 3rd or anything!!! I can tell I hate this band already! ;) John McCabe email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jul 1997 12:16:32 -0700 From: "Dr. Mosh" To: "NEVANS.US.ORACLE.COM" , email_address_removed, Subject: Fates Warning Tour Dates Message-ID: Here's an update of tour dates with some dates added from local club info. 1997 U.S. Tour Dates (As of July 16, 1997): *** CANCELLED 07/24 Corona,California Showcase Theater *** CANCELLED 07/25 Lakewood,California Northern Lites 07/28 Phoenix,AZ Mason Jar *** Changed **** 07/30 Lubbock,TX Palladian Live 07/31 San Antonio,TX White Rabbit 08/01 Houston,TX The Abyss 08/02 Fort Worth,TX Caravan Of Dreams 08/03 Lafayette, LA Shanahans 08/05 Pittsburgh, PA The Metropol 08/06 Danbury, CT Tuxedo Junction 08/07 South Amboy, NJ Club Bene 08/08 West Springfield,VA Jaxx Nite Club 08/09 Mt.

Everyone knows that. You didn't actually think DT *wrote* the instrumental section of Metropolis did you? Hell no, they ripped it off of Super Mario Bros! Especially level 1-2.
