This band deserves a lot more air play that it gets. These are accomplished musicians who went to Berklee Music School. They have a following. You may want to check into a petition that over 2500 from around the world sent in to their record company, as they were delaying the release. And this is from just people who have Internet access! Imagine the total audience out there... The petition worked, and several of the band members thanked us. They already have a platinum hit from a few years back (Pull Me Under off of the album Images & Words) It's time to let the music do the talking, Bruce. I've noticed that Rock GIR 101.1 in New Hampshire has been first out of the gate with some of the new stuff. It's time to take the crown back!!! Here are some places to check if you like to surf the web: The latest NEWS from the Official Dream Theater Page: http://www.rsabbs.com/dt/whatsnew.html The Drummer's response to the petition's impact on the record company: http://www.prognosis.com/petition/portnoy.html Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to your reply. I've listened to you guys since the 70's and always felt that you've stayed with the harder rock audience longer than any of the other local radio stations. Keep up the good work!

First, you're reposting private e-mail. That goes a long way towards telling me you're a jag off(Don't worry... I'm an asshole). I never thought anything poor of you, but that's just plain immature. Raise the issues on the jam, but you have no reason to repost private mail. Regardless of what comes out of this whole debate, I don't think there's been a time when I've ever been disrespectful of you, or a time when you've been disrespectful of me. > I really didn't want to put this kind of stuff public, but this > was such that I just had to post it.

Second, that too is bullshit. What has been discussed is not letting you sidestep all the issues, Mike. If you recall when Brian posted his first on this issue, you answered with joking comments and ignored the issues. You did the same with every subsequent post. Maybe you just didn't feel like answering those kinds of questions... that's your right, but we decided collectively to use our own rights to bring the same questions up again and again, each time they became relevent, until you actually addressed the issues that are pissing several jammers off. > That's what I'd have to say to equalize what you've said above.

I don't > particularly feel like taking a 50% pay cut in the game of life right now, > and why would I?? THIS IS THE FUCKING PART THAT PISSES ME OFF. That's why I'm responding. You're looking at the fucking Ytsejam as your god damned MARKET. MY friends don't look at me as their market. Thus, with regards to the jam, I have no way to consider you anything but a businessman. I will go on record as saying I really appreciate your trend of moving your updates to a web page. That's how I feel commercial things should be handled on the jam. It's not my list, and I'm not trying to set any rules, but I'm entitled to my own visions of how I think things should be. I'm not enforcing them, but passively, I am going to make it harder for people to use the Ytsejam as a direct marketing tool. > > Chris Ptacek and others (myself included) will continue to publicly > > flame you for your frequent wastes of "jamwidth" (heh). And then your This is something that Brian said that bugged me. I don't like to flame anyone. On occaistion, I get out of control (mildly) and make statements that I regret (and after talking to Joe Kruger, I do owe him an apology). The intent that some of us jammers have is not to flame anyone for this stuff, but to question it's validity on the jam, and question the person who raises the issue. If you make it a public discussion, then we have the right to do that. > I really wish you wouldn't. The people who have been discussing this have not flamed you. I can say that for certain. There were a couple people who did flame you, but we did not directly encourage them (meaning, we didn't speak to anyone about that). Flames are immature. In that respect, I too am immature at times, and am trying not to let my anger get the best of me. > > Don't go posting about how some other bootleg manufacturer ripped you off. > > They didn't rip me off, I use "ripped" because it's the common > term in bootleg circles for copying one boot to make another.

Bullshit. We know that too, but in the context it was discussed two jams or so ago, that's not how the term was used. You may consider rethinking your wording if you don't want confusion here, but the way the word was used was more like "Ripped Off". > I no longer have to. See http://www.goodnet.com/~durnik/boot.html > Grin... and it was never really _hard_, just time consuming and expensive. It's not my place to judge whether bootlegs are wrong or right for everyone, just for myself. That's why I'm really pleased to see this take place. The web page updates save bandwidth and save bullshit. I still like Mike's real posts... just not the equinox or bootleg sales posts. Further, I think these Subconscious auctions and cd sales should go on via web pages. Just include a URL. Wouldn't that be easier anyways? But that's just a suggestion, not even a request. > Nothing is going to happen. It's a free country. I don't smoke and > I don't like it when others do so, but what right do I have to tell them > to stop when I could just as easily move aside. I don't expect the world > to revolve around _my_ needs, you see. And what happened to respecting others? I don't think it's a lot to ask. You don't see Brian selling his demo tape on the jam, do you? He's an amazing guitarist, and I don't think there's a jammer on this list who wouldn't be blown away by his tape, but if he even did that, he only posted once to say it was done, and to give a URL where you can get the tape. He's not spamming us over and over and over and over like some people. Again though, for the most part, I don't have a problem with the "Bahr Bootleg" situation. Just when posts buzz around about the boots that aren't telling us where to get the info we want if we want your stuff. Since you recently began the web page, and have been handling updates by merely offering a URL, I have no gripe. Mike, if you want, I'll be happy to discuss this more off the jam, if you have any problems with what I'm saying. Brian, myself, and the others have no intent towards posting from out of nowhere on these issues. Only when things upset us. That's fair, isn't it? I know it's not one on one, but thats the nature of such a large discussion. -- Chris Ptacek at EnterAct, L.L.C -- (773) 248 8511 http://www.enteract.com (business) http://www.prognosis.com/madsman/ (my contribution to --------------------------------- the vast wealth of "To err is human... to suck out | underdeveloped one's brain with an orally | web sites) deployed flesh tube is not."-MS| **************** --------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 19:39:58 +0000 From: LoneWolf To: email_address_removed Subject: Progressive Music / New Page Message-ID: Hi all!

I called the # > >from the phone book, but it's a !%$# answering machine, Well, it's a little late now, but also for future reference, it might be worth the time to listen to the entire message on the answering machine. I called Club Kaos that day (Friday) in hopes of reserving a ticket for the truly insane Dr. Mosh (hey, we "truly insane" ones must stick together, no?) as he decided at the last minute to come up from L.A. And if I remember correctly (being warped, my memory is often distorted ;) ) the message began something like.... "Directions to Club Kaos are at the end of this message." so I held on just for kicks, and indeed the directions were there. I, however, did not need them. I got my directions off the web using an address finder and looking at the lovely map that is provided along with the address. Okay, so since I'm here, I'll comment a bit. I made a point of picking up a copy of Jim Matheos' "First Impressions", since a kind Jammer mentioned it in one of last week's posts. Wow! This is great stuff. It's Mr. Matheos playing finger-style acoustic guitar (the guitar tone sounds too bright to be a nylong string (classical) guitar, yet he plays it like a classical guitar. He is accompanied by cello and violin on some of the tracks, and solo on the rest. It would have been nice to meet Chris Oates, but I didn't realize the guy who so coldly said "That's right." when I noticed his older Ytsejam t-shirt and said "Hey! Ytsejam!" was actually Mr. Oates. I found out later. Sorry we didn't meet. Yes, Mike Portnoy was there. Yes I got to chat with him for a bit. Yes he is very cool. His wife Marlene is cool too. Not a surprise. :) And again, got to hang at everybody's favorite late-night eatery Denny's (ugh!) with Mosh, his very cool pal Joe from L.A., Steve Yanos, and Matt Guillory. Those guys are fucking *blast*, if I do say so myself. Looking forward to the next Club Kaos extravaganza. And to cap off a fun-filled weekend with Mosh and Joe, we (as Mosh mentioned earlier) ran into Steve Perry (of Journey) at a diner in downtown San Francisco. Fun fun. On another note, I took Aaron "DJ Kuul A" Silverman's advice and went to check out Fish the other night. Goodness! I'm not even a Fish fan and the show he and the band put on was one of the most kick-ass shows I've seen in a while. Nor have I seen such an enthusiastic and dedicated audience in a while.

I just satarted playing around with that a > bit yesterday and today. I don' know if there's an official name for it, > but I call it "Lord Bane-ian mode" since 90% of their stuff is in it. :) As a fellow music theory nut (and a third-year student), I found myself wondering the same thing a few years ago. The scale in question is the fifth mode of the harmonic scale, which is called Phrygian Dominant. I don't know of names for the other modes derived from Harmonic Minor, but a few are neat to me. The third degree is a major scale with an augmented 5, the fourth degree is Dorian with an augmented 4, and the sixth degree is Lydian with an augmented 2. None of these modes are very stable, of course, but they're interesting to my ear.

Fact 1: as long as there are die-hard fans, there will be a demand for boots. Fact 2: as long as there is a demand for boots, people will keep making them. Fact 3: some bootleggers don't give a shit about the quality and contents of their bootlegs, as long as they sell. Fact 4: mike bahr seems to care a lot about the content *and* the quality of the boots he releases. with mike bahr, those who are interested in boots at least have a source where they know they 1) are not going to get ripped off (no cd). jammers trust him. 2) won't end up with a recording they already have on another boot. 3) get the best possible sound/cd quality. and if you don't like bootlegs or are dead against them, just don't buy them. it's as simple as that. the best way for artists to stop bootlegging is to release official boots themselves. fish does this, and it seems to work really well. marillion also does this, but they're a lot less prolific than fish at it... :-) anyway, since dream theater is not going to release official boots any time soon, it's good to have a bootlegger who is on 'our side'.
