The best part for me was during the encore when everyone swapped instruments and launched into "Perfect Strangers", probably because I got closer to the stage. IRVING PLAZA itself was awesome. Plenty of room and they didn't try to jam as many people in as possible (a la the Birch Hill - where I couldn't even get up past the staircase). A sold out show and there was plenty of room to spare! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 15:30:41 -0500 From: "Jeff Strinko" To: Subject: Stop sending me stuff Message-ID: <01bcf84e$aae1e600$d6d4aec7@BigBallz> Please take me off the mailing list ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 21:32:41 -0800 From: Arash Ashouriha To: email_address_removed Subject: Rush's Fly By Night Message-ID: Hi I just wondering, if Rush's Fly By Night is a good album to buy ? I have heard all Rush album's since 1988 and don't like them very much. The live album A Show Of Hands is good. I like also their album from 1993, which includes Animated (Co...). I can get Fly By Night (digital remastered) very cheap and want to know, if it's a good album ?

I plan on getting "The Eye" next because the concept sounds cool and I have heard some people say it's their favorite. I haven't heard "Abigail" yet. When you get an album, if you are ok with the vocals, then I suggest trying a Mercyful Fate (King Diamond's other band) album. I have "Into the Shadows" and alot of the songs on there are simply amazing. The Room with Golden Air is a beautiful instrumental, and Is That You, Melissa? is a wonderful chilling ballad. Plus this cd has Return of the Vampire with Lars Ulrich as guest drummer.

The way James sings that word in the last verse of LITS, after the song kept building up for hours (or so it seems to me) brings me close to collapsing everytime I listen to it. "And the *mysteries* we nurture, are the fabrics of our lives" I still can't understand why they keep playing that song as opener. It's just too intense to play it that early, but nobody listens to me...

Check out: http://members.tripod.com/~Tampasm/ They're young, there not particularly good looking, they sing lots of songs about having sex and guess what, they've got a recording contract. Look out, they're the heavy metal Spice Girls!! >From: email_address_removed >Subject: UK Gig, Drummers > > I'm going to the London gig so Ill see all UK jammers there.

Deedlit ... +------ | Kickass. Some people say I'm good, but my "I can play crap" is part of a | more generalized "I suck at everything" attitude I have...I've felt this | inadequacy thing my whole life, for at least one BIG reason I know.... +------ Urk... yes, I've had to kinda re-live an obviously similar pattern w/ several respects, too... e.g. I also thought I was such a lousy academic until I ended up w/ a research grant of my own... still worse in more personal matters... I only can hope that you will be able to replace these experiences gradually w/ really positive ones :-) +------ | Uhmmm, maybe, but I think it has more to due with the unsettling | one-more-than-6 effect. Most "normal" music-listeners (read: people who | know next to nothing or absolutely nothing about music) find odd time | signatures hard to keep a tapping foot steady to. +------ They only have to do it for 2 bars instead of just 1 :-) (Hope this also helps to clarify things w/ those who still are trying to fathom my remark on Watchtower :-))) +------ | Yay! Someone who doesn't like to be stared at by bunches of judgmental | people.... :} +------ Well... in a way I got over it by thinking like most of the audience won't understand what I'm doing anyway, or to quote Alphonso Johnson "In case I make a mistake I'll simply do it again so everyone will be thinking I've done it on purpose..." :-) +------ | Hmm, if anyone TOUCHED my guitar without my permission I swear to my DT | signatures and my p2 266 that I would literally beat the shit out of them | (ahhh, heavy boots and fast kicks!). I ALWAYS play with the door closed, | and I find it really hard to play either the oboe OR the guitar with ANYONE | watching. I get really tense. Fortunately for my formal performance | career, I've been better about relaxing when I play oboe...but that's not | what I'll talk about here. Another problem for me is that I hang around | with some really amazing guitarists who have been playing for near 10 | years. I've been playing like almost one and a half. Is this a fair | comparison? Not really, but I can't get over the fact that I suck in | comparison to them, so I obsess about it...plus, as I said before, I | already have a general "I suck" sort of philosophy. +------ Nah... this really isn't any such thing as fair... and I don't have the impression you generally suck, believe me :-) I know another guitar player, whose name also is Erica :-), who has started to play only like 7 or 8 years ago, and she's 29 now and has become real good... Oboe is great... I ADMIRE YOU!!!! I've never managed to learn to play this one... :-| +------ | Oh MAN, I couldn't even work up the nerve to ASK. I'd DIE to study with | him...even though it would be pointless to die...oh well hehe. Figures of | speech never hurt anyone.... Anyway, that brings me to a new point: what | the heck are guys going to do with a female student?! Especially in such a | testosterone-laden area of performance.... I'm almost afraid to GET a | teacher, because I don't know if a) they would want to teach a GIRL :p, or | b) how they would treat a girl vs. a boy student. +------ As always in life it depends... I simply wouldn't recommend an *immature* teacher, I mean I won't pay anyone for telling me way tired jokes... nevertheless it's true that many girls & young women prefer to study w/ female teachers... In my experience it probably doesn't matter that much any longer once you have reached a more advanced level... but then I never was too impressed w/someone having a 10-20 or whatever times (sorry I'm a turkey in endocrinolgy) higher testo level than me :-) My preferred style of learning was basically autodidactic, but then meeting experienced pros from time to time over a cop of tea and discussing problems, which they obviously enjoyed, too, as they also learned something and it wasn't that boring... I also believe a lot in something I call *trained intuition*... basically a blend of talent, experience and "maturing"... more like "instinctively" reacting to certain situations, not having to count but simply *feel* certain time sigs, stuff like that... +------ | Everyone at this school--okay, ALMOST everyone--is a spoiled rich brat or | a neohippie who gets stoned/drunk every day (or at least every Thurs-Sun) | and doesn't have any respect for ANYONE with different priorities. PLUS | everyone here seems to be VERY rude, insensitive, and VERY | selfish...sigh...college seems to be a total regression to preschool. From | birthdays to personal behavior, it's all childish.... +------ Let me tell you one thing... the reason I used to watch Beavis & Butthead on eMpTyV was nostalgia... they reminded me of the dudes I had to endure at school... :-\ Heike ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 16:54:57 -0500 (EST) From: Banister To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Goosebumps Message-ID: Well, since everyone else is doing it, I guess I'll throw my favs in... Learning to Live: Filled to the brim with them.. . Some of the biggest ones are: the 'harmless' keyboard part right before the acoustic guitar interlude (starting at 5:11); The guitar part _right after_ the whoas... it's beautiful ; and lastly, the outro. That would have to be the bset use of harmonics I've ever heard. Simply the most intense, most incredible ending to a song I've ever heard But then, almost everything in that song gives me goosebumps... The ytsejam: the final 'chorus'... just the main theme again, but listen to the keyboards! Beautiful. . Another Hand/the killing hand (LATM, Live): The guitar solo from the LATM version. It brings tears to my eyes... Also, I saw this live in Birch Hill '96, and the new middle section blew me away. It was so beautiful... only later, when I heard the MP3, did I realize that it's really the Carol of the Bells! Non DT: Kansas' _Hopelessly Human_ from 'Point of Know Return' Alright, I keep raving about this band, and this song. One would think I'm obsessed. Maybe I am. . . but here's why: Right before the outro, the transition to the main theme, and the main theme itself. What a powerful moment... Kansas' _Miracles out of Nowhere_ from 'Leftoverture' I'm obsessed with this song to. The middle section. . polyrythms in 7/8! It's incredible! Alright, that's enough for one jam. . . figuratively, Rich ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jul 1997 23:09:49 +0300 From: Shai Yallin To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Live versions of DT songs...

IMO there are sacred things that should never be changed, for example: - Scarred (the whole song) - The Killing Hand (The new version I've heard (CIA97) has been changed and I prefer the Marquee/TDOE version) - Voices You get my point, right? ------------------------------------------------- Well, after finally listening to some DT boots (got Spinning Years) I have some highlights and remarks: - Another Day live with Moore: I just can't believe Moore played that sax solo in the end note by note according to the CD version... He is amazing... - Original ACOS: Love it. Very different from the EP version. I love that Yngwie-style Moore solo before "The Crimson Sunset". - LTL live with Moore: Amazing. Simply amzing. I didn't expect too much due to the structure of the song and got surprised. :-) - Ytsejam with Derek: I love how he played that classical riff on the piano. Cool. - TOWHTSTS with LaBrie: Cool. Mucho cool. Love that song. (He did that opening riff!!!!!!!) - Original BMS: I think the new version is better... - Original TAMP: Get me that Shirley so I could hang him from the balls... - Original LITS: I like both versions. What are the last 2 tracks on "Uncovered"? This isn't on no FAQ nor DT Unofficial Songbook. Thanx, laterz, take care and enjoy, -- Shai Yallin - Kurush on #YTSEJAM "I'm American, honey.

ACOS: "I turned for one last look/she looked me in the eye/I said I love you..." KJLB screaming it to us, showing the urgency of the moment, then DADADADADADADADA "...goodbye." Great emotional transition. Also, the keyboard solo after the locomotive noise. This is where I started thinking that maybe this Derek guy *was* the perfect replacement for K. Moore. FII: LitS - "Living comes much easier/once we admit.....we're dying". Once again, great vocal emotions followed up by un understated, tasty little guitar part. And, once again, The key solos in BMS and ToT - particularly the last one. This is when I *know* this Derek guy was the perfect replacement for Mr. Moore. ----- _____Pat Sullivan_____________________________________ E-Mail: email_address_removed WWW: http://www.ici.net/cust_pages/psull/psull.html IRC: DDictator ICQ: 2049374 ______________________________________________________ It's not hard to meet expenses, they're everywhere. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Nov 97 17:07:25 EST From: "Chung Ng" To: , Subject: re: King Diamond Message-ID: >Can anyone recommend me any King Diamond album? >I heard that Abigail is pretty good, do you agree/disagree?

Great album, but better get used to that falsetto :) Uh... Forgive my ignorance, but what is falsetto? Could anybody explain, please? I've heard that it has to do with something called "voice register", but I don't have any clue of what a voice register is also. Any examples would also be very enlightening.
