Kube" To: email_address_removed Subject: DT TOUR 97-98 Message-ID: Hey there again, I was just wondering has there been any discussion on the places where DT will be playing when they kick off their US tour in October? Or is this kind of up in the air until after the release of "Falling into Infinitiy"? Also, I was flipping through my CD's the other day (I'm moving so I had to get them in order to go with me) anyways, I came upon my Pink Floyd Pulse live CD. The CD with the eternal blinking light on it, anyways, I was looking through the jacket inside and I realized that all of the snazzy artisticly cool artwork inside was by Storm Thorgenson. (I think I misspelled his last name, oh well) anyways, supposedly DT has decided to go with him for the artwork... I am psyched, this guy's work is so cool, maybe this CD will really catch some attention on the rack... I think it will... Now for the airwaves, I hope that the airwaves are full of DT in the next couple of weeks.. I know, in my heart and soul that "You Not Me" will sell... It's just a matter of the record company promoting this CD like it should be. As long as it gets the same or better promotion that I&W did, I don't see why this CD won't do well. I have heard 99% of all the stuff on this CD at the Fix show and I am hoping that these songs are even more polished now and if they are better than the ones I heard at the shows... This should be one hell of a fucking disc! WOO-HOO! Anyways, gotta run! Rock on!

The only difference is you don't > put your own name on the boots your copying. You still make a profit on > them. You even admit it in this post... Uhm, I think you're really out of line here... I don't go around releasing boots with cryptic names that turn out to have the same material on them that are already on popular boots, gypping the customer out of $30-60. Italian boot companies do exactly that. Ask the guys who put out Tragedy/Comedy, Dream Out Loud, Rockin' Japan, etc. I release stuff that isn't on "common" boots, I made the decision of "no duplication at all" after catching static for using the Status Seeker version from Lords of Sound on WDATU (best copy of SS I could find). Also, I make good and sure the content of my CDs is publicly known as early in the process as possible. As for me replicating the Italian boots... well, nobody else was doing it and people kept asking me for CDR clones of them, and all I did was make it official that I would be willing to do that for anyone who wanted it. I never misled people at any time to believe that those releases were mine or that I produced the material. If that's hypocrisy, Reagan is a communist. - Mike Bahr - email_address_removed - http://www.goodnet.com/~durnik ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Aug 1997 23:42:38 -0700 (MST) From: durnik To: email_address_removed Subject: Fuck this!! Message-ID: If there weren't so many awesomely cool people here on the Jam who still supported me, I'd just say "fuck off, and hasta la vista!" to the rest of you. I can't believe this new wave of shit. Chris Ptacek, you're just fucking wrong on this one, PERIOD. Any collector who's into bootlegs will tell you that DUPLICATES SUCK. Ask any Rush boot collector.. there were 9 boots from the p/g tour, and ALL of them were copies of the fuckin' p/g video release, and until Experience to Extremes came out, none were even close to complete. Ask DT boot collectors who accidentally got both Wake Up and Mind Control before knowing that they were rip-offs of each other and of a Pay-Per-view video that's usually cheaper than the CDs!! From the collector's standpoint, I am absolutely right in saying that it would be better if every single boot out there contained material unique to that bootleg. We want as much different stuff as possible. It sucks that there are only six true soundboard tapes from Rush, and that we therefore hear them over and over again on boots. It sucks that NINE companies have released the counterfeit of Y Kant Tori Read, confounding collectors who thought they might eventually get a YKTR live or b-sides release. And it sucks that people like you who apparently lack either experience or knowledge in this area have decided to publicly slam someone who _does_. Those of you who are on my side, no need to defend me this time (unless you also have a part in this argument), this has nothing to do with my boot operations and is a point of issue for bootleg collecting in general. It sucks when ANY bootleg duplicates another. I was collecting boots for many years before I even dreamed I would make CDs. I've been through the wringer in every way on this issue, as the buyer and as the seller. Anyway, that's all I'll say for now. - Mike Bahr - email_address_removed - http://www.goodnet.com/~durnik ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Aug 1997 03:09:02 -0400 (EDT) From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: I took the flight ! Message-ID: Greetings Dreamers, I'm just listening to "Falling into infinity" for the third time. It's not in any way like WDADU, IAW or Awake. It's very slow ( 4 ballads) and it sounds older ( thanks Kevin ? ). It's a great album, but it could have been a fantastic one, if Kevin Shirley and Desmond Child wouldn't have ruined it. I think DT will lose a few old fans with this, and maybe gain a big commercial success. I really like the album, but I would like it more, if they would have done it their way (like on the demos and how they played a few of the songs on the spring tour in europe). I can't wait to hear what others think about it.

I consider it to be helpful to the ytsejammers you're trying to screw. $75 is bullshit for those discs. If you paid that much, you're an idiot. It's not an advertisement at all. I don't own those cds, and won't be selling them. I am merely going to help anyone who has any desire not to get ripped off. You're not trying to help anyone. You're trying to make a profit on used cds. You're not trying to break even. You're a scam. If you were trying to help people out by selling these cds, you'd sell them for what you paid for them, or less. Are you going to tell me I'm wrong? At least be honest. >Is this an advertisement or a solicitation?: > >> While I'm on my rant, I'd like to offer you a chance to blow me >>too. You want to be a smart ass at me, then you have to deal with the fact that sometimes it pisses me off. I was out of line in being that rude there. But I won't apologize. >It's at least an offer, which is certainly a commercial-transaction >related posting. Something you claim to dislike very much. That's about as intelligent as the fungus under my toenails. >>Intelligent responses will be acknowledged and responded to >>in an intelligent manner. > >As you have demonstrated so well already. Wow. That's good. When you're through stumping me with your obviously superior wit and intellect, please go on to make your point. Or is this just a complaint because I'm going to try to help people get the stuff you're offering for less than you're offering it for? Hmm... who has what to gain here? >> People who want to give me a lesson in manners or want to tell >> me I've got a great big ego, please don't waste your time. > >Since you already know. What I know is that I was majorly irritated by your post. The way you're trying to make money off jammers is bullshit. The fact that I say this and do not CARE AT ALL if someone (like yourself) tries to refute it, means that I believe I'm correct. I believe in myself, and that gets me called an egotist. I was simply doing what I can to stop those on this list who don't want to hear what I have to say from wasting my time with flames and moronic illogical arguments. Obviously it failed, because I'm responding to you now. Judge for yourself what you think of me. I don't care if you think I'm an egotist. That's fine. Just don't be so pissy when I call you a scam. >You're being a hypocrite, and yet, somehow...entertaining. Everyone's a hypocrite at one point or another. But I don't see where I'm being a hypocrite in that post. Feel free to point that out to me, Captain Astute. Now if you have some reasonable arguments to back up what you're saying, or some ways of disproving the fact that you're selling those cds for a profit instead of trying to help jammers, like you (hypocrite?) say, I'll be more than happy to entertain them. If this is the best you can do, I would rather you not waste my time. Chris W.

If you paid that much, you're an >idiot. Hell, as much as other people'll probably bitch, I'm with Chris on this one. But the way I see it is, if anyone wants to spend $75 for these discs, I have a nice set of handblown goats molded to represent the members of Dream Theater. It's an older set (circa 1993) with Kevin instead of Derek. HIGHLY COLLECTABLE! Starting price is $550. (Goats ain't cheap!) Anyway, isn't there a newsgroup for shit like this? Couldn't you post it there? Is this for some sort of charity? If you need the money, then say something like this: "I'm having my uvula removed, and have to part with my beloved Dream Theater discs." What the Hell does a uvula do anyway, besides collect mucus and shit when I drink milk? And I'm sure Mike Bahr isn't wearing any pants.

I'm here to report on DT's 5th full-length album, "We Can Kick Green Day's Ass." I've been listening to it for the last 3 weeks, and well, I gotta admit, the guys did good! Just be prepared for cookie monster vocals when you pick this one up in a couple years. Looks like James got pissed off at all those people who liked Charlie better, 'n he's shown it on tracks like, "Fuck You, Fuck Me" and "Kill the Posuer." Man, I think the whole band got pissed when they wrote, "We Can Write Whatever the Fuck We Want!" Porntoy goes into this 16/4 time signature with a quad bass effect that just gives you an epileptic siezure. Derek's pounding out his aggression on the end track, "I'm Not Gay," as well. "And you'll never be happy again. I've sold out to make money my friends." This is good stuff. And I bet Mike Bahr IS wearing pants, but backwards and with a "Kris Kross Forever" T-shirt.
