Does any band? I think that when a band writes a song for Radio, they've sold out. YNM like you said is the most Radio Friendly song... They probably picked this out after the album was written, and it was most likely the Record Label. Even though I am involved in Radio, and have been with DT since WDADU, most people didn't know about them til PMU (radio single) or CIAW (MTV Video before Headbanger's Ball died). The object of the Record company is to sell records... they really don't give a shit about the band...Unless they sell records, so they will plug the songs that they think will break the band. People will hear YNM, and think "hey, this is cool... I think I'll buy the CD!" A general rule in broadcasting...

Just when the Ytse-Digests were getting down to a managable number per day... "You Not Me" is released! Here we go again... and of course, I am adding to the mix with this very post. Ah well, hypocrisy is VERY underrated... :-) > nothing like DTC to start the jam's fire-breathing machinery up > again....knew the peace wouldn't last Yeah, no shit! Just when everyone started to get along around here, too... :-) > When I heard the opening wah guitar thing, it IMMEDIATELY reminded me of > Rage Against the Machine. The guitar just has that sound/tone to it. Holy JM! Hey! I wuz wondering when somebody would say this! That was my first impression of the song too, BTW. I thought I wuz listening to the reprise of "Bulls On Parade"! Listen, people... just relax with the flames and stuff. We haven't even heard the whole album yet, and all these insults aren't solving anything. I understand how passionate everyone is about Dream Theater (hell, so am I!), but let's give them the benefit of the doubt until we can hear the whole album. They've never dissapointed us in the past. For the record, I love the new song. Very different, but cool. That's all I hafta say about that... - Matt T.

I have some envelopes that have come to us with no explanation of what you want to order. Please if you place an order with Mike or myself, let us know what you are ordering. Just because you e-mail us about it does not mean we know exactly what you want. There is now way that we could keep track of everyones order with the volume of orders we get. So could the following people please e-mail me as soon as possible with the following information: Matty Pickett-I need to know which CD you ordered. Lee Waldron-I need to know what CD you ordered. Need to know who ordered a VS that lives at 10 Acheson Dr. in Canada. The sooner you people get back to me the sooner your order will be added to the update.

Please do yourself a favor and read through this newsgroup it is very humorous. Also, Rocky Dean's post about how he's the biggest tallica fan there is cause he has enter the sandman and a gibson exploder, etc. got forwarded over there. everyone was saying how he wasn't a real fan and how he sucks and stuff. they don't have humor over there either. i think it's alt.rock-n-roll.metal.metallica check it out! woot ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 00:13:11 +0000 ( ) From: Dave Peterson To: DT Mailing list Subject: 2 Used Prog CD's 4 sale!
