What!?! Are you kidding? Don't even study the scales! Man, I thought everyone knew that you should just chop off their ears. So, you can't be influenced by sell out bands like DT.

Then, with an accident, I listened to a I first got into DT and QR at about the same time. I had a friend who kept talking about them, and I had heard a couple of their songs on the radio too, so I decided to buy Promised Land. Well, it was totally different from the little I'd heard of QR previously, but I really liked it. Anyway, my friend said she didn't like PL that much, and added "it sounds too much like Dream Theater"... so I went out and bought I&W, having never heard DT before, and I'll never forget the first time I listened to it! Overwhelmed would be a good word to describe the way I felt. Awake had just come out at around the same time, so of course I got it too... and was a big letdown after hearing I&W. But it grew on me, although I'm still an I&W kinda guy. >tape copy of Awake and have been hooked since. Conclusion: no need >for comments, let the music speak for itself. With one exception... Q107, a rock station here in Toronto has been hyping up the fact that they're going to be carrying Howard Stern's morning show starting this Tuesday. I rarely listen to the radio, but my dentist mentioned it (odd, considering they usually always have cheesy watered down pop stations on). So I've been listening to that station a little... and like every 2 minutes they've been bragging about this Stern thing. Anyway, the point is, if you e-mail email_address_removed and tell them "Play DT because Howard Stern likes them" (even if he only likes 30 seconds of one song ;) ), maybe they will... *** Lars Hellsten ************************************ The Toronto Maple Leafs mailing list info: http://hockey.dyn.ml.org/ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Aug 1997 16:46:57 -0400 From: Lars Hellsten To: email_address_removed Subject: Album Cover?

Sounds like guerilla warfare time to me, boys and girls. I'll bring the piano wire if somebody else can hook us up with grenades... Whelp, I trekked out this afternoon to find a used CD store and blow some of my wad, that being cash for any snickerers out there. A bunch of goodies came into my posession, including a Stu Hamm album, "The Urge". So, I offer out to you the question, "Quahogs Anyone?" Another 'Jam-recommendation that hasn't let me down. While there, I happened to notice in the metal section (secreted away from the rest of the rock -- we can't have them polluting each other now, can we?) a Dream Theater boot, "Wake Up!" by name. I've already got "Mind Control" (another boot of the same show, if I'm not mistaken), but if anyone would like me to pick it up for them, I'm game. It'll take awhile, though, 'cause I forgot what the price was... Silly me.

I recently got by a friend a cassette copy of the Rush Tribute, and I would like to know, who produced it, which musicians are featured, the names of the songs, and specially, who the hell is playing in each song, those guys are really amazing!. I recognize some Dt members, Sebastian bach, Fates Warning, Devin Townsend, Steve Morse, Sheehan and Castronovo, but I'd really like to know who's playing each instrument in each song.

Get those radio stations in! And everyone else needs to e-mail these stations and request DT. The people who have been discussing this thread are right: don't pull the "awww.. I'm a groupie, so let's throw a pity-party for this unknown band" shit. Let's promote them as talented musicians and songwriters. The Web address is http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/5039/radio.html. Oh, and if you're submiting a radio station (private e-mail, please), be sure to include an e-mail address and/or Web address for the station! Preferably both. I've been getting several snail mail address and phone numbers. Even though these are nice, most of the 'jammers probably have limits to their long distance calling abilities. Unless you're rich.

Rivera" To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 2917 Message-ID: Vixen broke up in 1991 or so, but there has been talk of them reuniting. Which would be really cool. They've released two CD's, Vixen in 1988 and Rev it Up in 1990 for those interested. I like em both...good 80's female hard rock Actually, they're back together and most recently toured with Firehouse. "On The Edge Of A Broken Heart" is one of the best hard rock songs ever and one of Richard Marx's finest song-writing moments. By the way, in case you haven't noticed...I'm baaaaaacckkkkk. I've been out of the DT loop for the summer, but after lurking for a couple days it seems that the new album will be out on Sept. 23 and that a new single (which one is it?) should be hitting the airwaves soon, if it hasn't already. Can't fuckin' wait. Richie P.S.

For me, that's King's X, Dream Theater, Queensryche, Rush, and Tori. For others... the sky is the limit." Boy do I agree with that!! I've discovered some truly awesome tunes the last few months-far too many to go into here. I have over 100 cd's, 300 or better albums on tape-and there's so much more out there!! I also have 3 different cd players-one in the cab (total necessity) 2 in the house. I see no reason whatsoever to even think of listening to the crap that the mainstream pop and so-called "classic Rock" stations try to feed us. Fortunately there's those of us that aren't sheep. There's an incredible amount of music totally unexplored out there-go for it!! Buy that cd with the cool cover-just 'cause the cover's cool-you might find a treasure there-I've done that many a time-or even a reference somewhere- it's fun, educational, interesting, and truly a really cool way to experience new talent , or even talent just new to you!! yes-radio sux-and I gave it up ages ago! Glad to see there's others like me out there!! Rock on!! Back to lurk mode!! Please notice the new homepage address below!!

Second, anyone else here wanna puke at the thought that this could be the new album cover? This thing gets the Official Vinnie's Stamp of Suckage. Just...argh...just look at the logo. DT's music is complex, their artwork should be so too. Awake and I&W had awesome covers. The montage is quite simple. If they really wanted a photo montage, they should have hired someone like Scott Mutter. He did the "Drift" artwork for Flotsam & Jetsam. Not just that, but some of his other works are even more incredible, and deep.

First impressions....These bands are everything I thought they would be - Strat is very heavy and riff oriented stuff, kinda reminds me of Angra but with better riffs and obviously weaker vocals (I love Andre's vocal style almost as well as Jame's) You'll want this if you are into Angra, Superior or Awake style metal.Very Neo-classical a great part of the time. Mayadome impressions coming after a few more listens (Haven't forgot about yours David : ) First impression...Heavy, complicated, powerful, mucho talent. On a somber note, my prayers and thoughts go out to England and all who have been touched by Princess Di and Dodi Al Fayed. The world has suffered another tragic and needless loss. I hope the media learns a valuable lesson from this tragedy - Public Figures are not Public Property.
