Message-ID: Hey Gang - Just have a really quick Queensryche question here: does anybody have a transcription of what Geoff says exactly in the middle of "Roads To Madness"? It is my all-time favorite QR tune, and I'm dying to know. I have the lyric sheet for the album, but they omitted the speaking part in the middle. Thanks! - Matt T. P.S. - Does anyone know what happened to the band Mutha's Day Out? "My Soul Is Wet" is an AWESOME album... and I haven't heard "boo" from 'em since! NOW PLAYING: Big Surprise...

I don't post much on here all on account of my crap ass server. It's pretty moody and won't let me post on the jam sometimes, but that's not what I'm "waisting bandwidth" for in this post.... It seems our good buddy Vince found a "Jive" machine, wherein you can submit any number of phrases, sentences, or in this case, songs, and get the "jive" translation. Is this the first major technological leap for Ebonics? Who knows.... You all should enjoy this one. I just pray Vince didn't send it to the jam before I did. Read on, and live prosperously. And feed your caribou. ~Eckie >Subject, dig dis: "Lie" > >"Lie" >Dream Deater > >Dayboogie >At da damn bottom uh a lake >It's some hundred degrees ah' can't breade >And ah' won't git out >'till ah' figure it out >Dought I'm weak likes ah' can't recon' >So ya' tell me "trust me" ah' can trust ya' >Just let me show ya' >But ah' gotsta wo'k it out in some shadow uh doubt >'cause ah' duzn't know if ah' know ya' > >Doin' fine but duzn't wuzte mah' time >Tell me whut it be ya' wanna say >You's sin, ya' win, plum let me in - hurry >I've been out in foodspoon de rain all day >So ya' tell me "trust me" ah' can trust ya' >As far as ah' can drow ya' >And I'm tryin' t'get out uh a shadow uh doubt >'cause ah' duzn't know if ah' know ya' > >Cho'us, dig dis: >Don't tell me ya' wants'ed me >Don't tell me ya' dought uh me >I won't, ah' swear ah' won't >(Did) >I'll try, ah' swear I'll try >(Lie) > >Moda' Mary quite contrary >Kiss de boys and make dem wary >Din's are gittin' plum a little bit scary >It's some wonda' I kin still breade >Neva' been much uh a doubtin' Domas >But nodin' boogies likes some bugger'd promise >You's tell me about yo' two mo'e comin' >But once be plum enough fo' me >Repeat Cho'us >I had gotsten used t'bein' some soul destroyed >She comes in apparently t'fill de void >All dogs need some leash and > At least I'll fo'get it >And she would neva' hurt me dough > She's neva' said it >But I'm not gonna ax' ha' today >I duzn't wanna scare ha' away, oh >Yo' town, I'm all alone >And ah' plum can't stare at da damn phone >I wanna rapp about lifelong mis snatch'd >and ya' kin tell yo' stepfada' I said so >Repeat Cho'us > >========= >greetin' >JIBE at da Department uh Computa' Science, University uh Zurich > ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Jul 1997 21:35:30 -0500 (CDT) From: Jay Omega To: Just Words Subject: Myung's stick, DTDT Message-ID: on IRC, the one & only Mike Portnoy said: > Is it true that Myung has purchased a Chapman Stick and is using > it on the album? > Yup. > It's very cool. > The song "A New Millennium" was written with the Stick. > He also used it on a couple other songs as extra embellishment. Most cool. As a big King Crimson fan, I'm looking forward to the album more and more all the time... JP only using the 7-string on two songs kinda sucks though.

Kube" To: email_address_removed Subject: My interpretation of drum kit size Message-ID: Hey all: There has been a great deal of discussion as to drum kit size and I wanted to add my .02.... Here goes: Drum kit size isn't a mainstream thing. It's a personal choice. If you are a good enough drummer to make a decision on how well you want to play your drumset, it's up to you.... Mike Portnoy: A large drumset man. I have narrowed down (in my opinion) why Mike needs a large drumset: First, his main music influence (drum wise) has been Neil Peart...Neil is known for his oversized drumsets.. second, Mike does a great deal of auxilary percussion (his drum set is not all drums) Lastly, I feel that Mike would have a totally different sound and interpretation of his drum set if it was smaller.. That's about it...

Pretty funny. Manson discussed all the rumors about him and said how they were false. He really seems like a normal guy when he's outside of the band. After the show Stern and his crew watched the episode and noticed that Twiggy (I don't know what instrument he plays in Manson) was picking his nose during the whole interview. Members of Stern's crew, after finding this out, immediately washed their hands. Gross. Brandon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Jul 1997 23:18:20 -0400 From: email_address_removed (Ernesto Schnack) To: Subject: more DTDT's:) Message-ID: I was lookimg at my crucifix all day, but I couldn't find 'Sex is Death' anywhere. John musta been smokin' something that day... and it wasn't cigarettes, if ya know what I mean... It'd be cool if LaBrie could sing even higher, because then in a concert he could hit a really high note, and the tubes in Petrucci's amp would crack. Then Petrucci would get mad and beat the shit out of him. Then again, that wouldn't be so cool, although LaBrie would probably get a good laugh out of it. They sell sushi at Wendy's in Japan? Wow! If I were Petrucci i'd hold back on the shredding, because I think the guys were trying to tell him something with that 'Exagerator' pun. Tht girl on the I&W cover is pretty cute... can't wait till she grows up. Hey! I got the new DT cd! But it's not called Falling into Infinity. It's called Altura's Mercy, or something like that.... (ok, so that was more of a blast than a deep thought, but I'm haveing fun here:P ) If the guys write another instrumental, they'll probably give it some weird arabian name, like 'Retaeht Maerd' or something. shedding his shadow, Ernie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 04:34:31 +0000 From: Davidjon Sabetai To: email_address_removed Subject: Deep DT thought... Message-ID: <19970722043424.AAC15349@LOCALNAME> You know, if I was that girl on the I+W cover I'd be carful of that levitating heart in the middle of the room.

Cashman" To: email_address_removed Subject: The Chat to End All Chats Message-ID: Just wanted to emerge from my semi-lurker status to say thanks for a great chat with Mike Portnoy -- it worked quite well indeed. Skadz, Dr. Mosh, DreamEvil and the other folks "backstage" did a good job of krrping it moving despite some minor technical problems, and it was great seeing a lot of old names and faces that I haven't seen on IRC in a while (let alone in person, eh Bafu?) And of course, extra special thanks to Mike P. for Taking the Time for us. I think I speak for all of us when I say the effort's appreciated by all of us patiently-waiting fans. :) 7 songs done and two more weeks in the studio!

Me neither! The only way I was able to watch a sparrow fall was to pick it off of the branch with an air rifle. Am I doing something wrong? I hope not, because it was kind of fun. The Eiffel tower was just temporarily moved to Tokyo in an effort to piss Mike off. Obviously it worked, but he saw through the scam.. Mike's smarter than he looks. John Myung doesn't talk very much, and you know, that's kind of strange. One day while staring at the sky, the clouds swept in front of it and made me angry. Never argue with clouds, they won't listen. If Derek did every blonde in the world I'm quite sure that he'd be very tired when he was finished. I didn't know spiders wished to speak. I usually crush them before they have a chance to say anything. If I were James, I would cut all of my hair off and glue it to my car. Then I'd drive around town growling at people pretending to be a grizzly bear. And when people asked what I was doing I would tell them I am a grizzly bear and growl at them. If John Petrucci and Godzilla ever got in a fight, I think Godzilla would win.

Message-ID: hey, what's up all? I finally got myself back on the jam in like ages! Missed what had to be atleast 1000 jams. Just wanted to say hi to the jammers that I lost touch with since changing my E-Mail address. You all know who you are. With DT content. I'm so pissed that none of you IRC dudes told me about the Mike Portnoy thing that occured the other day! That lone occurance is why I'm back here. Don't want to be left out in the dark no more...Anyway, I read the log and damn, it was an interesting conversation. Mike seems like a real cool dude and I don't know if you guys have done this yet because I haven't been on the jam in ages, but I just have to thank one of the greatest drummers for doing what he did for us, ytsejammers! Thanks alot Mike! You did not have to do this and it was so cool that you did! I'm gonna go now and read my first 3 jams that I got since my return and check back with you all later. Hope to see you all on IRC! My nickname is Augie and lately been back in #ytsejam. BTW, the rumors that were flying in #ytsejam about me is true. Won't go into it, but it's true. :) later! Augie p.s. MIKE PORTNOY, IF YOU'RE READING THIS, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU. YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE IN CONTACTING SOMEONE THAT I THINK YOU MIGHT KNOW FROM YOUR OLD DAYS BACK WHEN YOU PLAYED WITH RISING POWER! PLEASE IF YOU'RE READING THIS, E-MAIL ME BECAUSE I FEEL SO GUILTY ABOUT HAVING A COPY OF A PIECE OF THIS BOYS HISTORY AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE IT! I KNOW HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO HIM. I JUST HAVE TO RETURN HIM THE CD THAT HE LENT ME! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 2780 **************************
