I've asked liek 4 people already and been denied. I haven't seen your site yet, so I don't know how much is there (seeing as it's under 'heavy daily construction'). What I do know, is that it's a *total* pain in the ass when people try to get into your webring with only a main page and a buncha links that say "404 File Not Found", when you click on them. Pages like *that* simply do not belong in a webring, until they are finished. So, if anyone on this list is working on their own Dream Theater site, do not try to join the webring until everything is working. It sucks having to turn you down. Also, the only person who can move your site from the queue into the webring is Nuggetman. As far as I know, there's no need for you to contact anyone, because Nuggetman *automatically* gets notified when you put your site into the webring's queue... Just make sure your website is working and also has the proper webring code and GIF.

Not sorry because I think you're wrong, but sorry because I'm responding to your post... :) I think it IS a great thing to try to get other people into DT and prog music... anything that opens someone's mind to more music is a great thing... but... People who listen to country do get as much out of their music as we get out of DT. People who listehn to Rap do too. The same with folk... every style of music appeals to some people on a really deep level. For instance, I'm not sure where you live, but in my old neighborhood (South side of Chicago) people would drive by my house in their cars with the "Way2MuchBassSoYourMusicSoundsLikeShit" (TM) stereo system pumped up to 11. They'd be getting totally into this "rap" music... throwing their fists with the beat or whatever. Often times while waiting for a bus, I'd have a group of people I know sitting there rapping, and getting TOTALLY into it. I mean... I know they were into it, because I couldn't have done it if I tried, and rarely does anything "speaking-oriented" give me that doubt. As someone who does have trouble appreciating that kind of music, I don't know if it's the beat, the rhythm, the tones, the voices, or the overall message that got these people going. But they appreciated there music at least as much as I appreciate mine (I never say on the corner singing DT while waiting for a bus... Slayer, Morbid Angel, etc... but no DT). With country, it's the same thing. What do you think it is about Garth Brooks that reduces all those women to tears when he comes out on stage? Did they see him with his shirt off, and his gut hanging out? No... they're moved by their music. It's not the complexity that moves everyone. Some of the simplest music on the planet makes me crazy... I LOVE anything off the first 3 Iron Maiden albums, even though it's extremely basic music. It's just a matter of how you were brought up, and what you find desirable in music. That's why I can't (tho I'm REALLY TEMPTED) say that the music I like is better than the music someone else likes. I've had rap fans try to tell ME that before (That Nate G Dogg Monkey Nard was better music than my "long hair" bands). It's all a matter of taste, which runs even deeper than just opinion. It's burnt into your soul by repeated listens. -- 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: Sun, 12 Oct 1997 10:50:58 -0500 From: ERIK STEARNS To: Alfred Kinsey , YTSEJAM , Subject: New Personal Page.

Keeping in my mind, Kevin Moore is my musical hero, I of course went in to FII with a pretty critical ear to Derek's playing. However, his work is very impressive and I am thoroughly impressed with how he essentially developed a "Derek sounding" keyboard with only one album. The clean, space age sounds out of his Korg are unlike anything I have heard. "Just Let me Breathe" is his best work on the album (lines is close of course). Derek also compliments JP better than he has in the past. The background on "You Not Me" is very cool and catchy, holds the song together very well. However, my only complaint is his piano playing. Although his jazzy part on Lines is amazing the rest is subpar. Anna Lee remains too simple for my test in terms of piano parts. Kevin of course was a lot more classically influenced so maybe comparisions on that account are unfair, still Kevin's piano and lyrics in my opinion are what separates him from Derek. Just some thoughts. Take the time. -Eric ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Oct 1997 11:06:16 +0000 From: "Monty J.

They usually play alternative, but I turned the radio on 3 times this week and spewn among the garbage I've heard Danzig's Mother, GNR's Don't Cry, and the new Ozzy twice. I think they're trying an experiment to see if people request this stuff when they play it. Hey, who knows? Now might be a good time to start requesting some DT! With the new album out and all, they might even have a copy of YNM or BMS in the studio! ************* Actually, its kind of funny you mention this.

Well, I've been thinking about this all night, and I have to say no, I don't think it does. I can't know what's in anyone else's head, and this discussion will never really go anywhere because there are too many ambiguous terms flying around, like "Doesn't MEAN as much to someone". But I really believe that music becomes much more powerful when you understand it better. Again, I am not talking about theory. I'm just talking about listening to the music much more carefully than most people do. > People who listen to country do get as much out of their music as >we get out of DT. People who listehn to Rap do too. The same with >folk... every style of music appeals to some people on a really deep >level. Well, you can't really say that with certainty, the same way I can't say that it's absolutely not true. As far as CP's examples of people getting really, really into rap, or women crying at Garth Brooks concerts, I have seen that and I'm still not convinced. A long, long time ago... (well, not that long) I was that way with Metallica. I guess maybe that's why I don't feel like a total ass saying all these things, because in a way I do understand what it is that people get out of rap or country. As far as rap goes, I agree that people can get very into it, but I think that's more of an aggression thing, like metal, and that's just not what I'm talking about. There's music that I can get into like that, for example, the Skolnick solo to the Testament song "Return to Serenity" just makes me want to break stuff. But what I'm talking about goes way beyond that, and that's what I think the average pop fan doesn't realize he or she is missing. As far as country goes, that kind of reminds me of when someone said TAMP was cheesy, and then a bunch of people responded< "dude, JP wrote that song about his father dying, it's like their most emotionalsong ever!" or when someone said once on this list that Tori Amos and country music have that element that DT is missing: emotion. If anyone thinks that TAMP is their most emotional song just because of the lyrics, then they're not going to understand what I'm talking about anyways. Not that you're WRONG if you think that, "emotion" is totally subjective, I'm just saying that I'm talking about something that goes way beyond lyrics. Ok, I'm just pulling this all way out of my ass, and it's starting to show. I don't want to argue this too much because I'm not really sure I'm right... anyways I think this discussion has gotten to the point where we all just have to admit that none of us can really know. Oh, and by the way, thanks for the response, Chris. :) -Clark ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Jan 1997 20:12:46 +0100 From: Andreas =?iso-8859-1?Q?Wallstr=F6m?= To: email_address_removed Subject: Poop F P!

These are all good points and they got me thinking, what are the life's passions of jammers aside from music. Obviously, we're not all musicians. There are obviously computer people out there, as well as students, parents, businesspersons, bootlegers, etc. I LOVE music and listen to it with more interest than I do most things, but I'm not a musician. I don't play any instrument, can't sing and can't decipher time sigs. I can still apperciate the talent of a good musician and the intelligence of well written lyrics though. My other life's passion is aviation. I make my living as a pilot and find nearly anything relating to aviation, airplanes and flying to be interesting to me. I'm just curious, what are our life passions beyond DT and music?? Does this interest anyone else?? Okay, so its NDTC, but it beats endless flame wars and if the jam is "one big happy family," shouldn't we know something about each other? Happy headbanging! ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 3100 **************************
