Lloyd Grant wasn't even considered as a member since all he did was overdub one guitar solo on the first version of Hit The Lights, and that's it. If you watch Cliff Em All, you will see some really early footage of Cliff's second gig with Metallica, and off the right, you will definitely see Dave Mustaine up there jamming away. Furthermore, Dave Mustaine did not put any hexes on anyone. He admired Cliff Burton, so I found that entirely humorous when someone said that on this list. He just reflected his emotions to what happened in his song "In My Darkest Hour."

Missed the start of this discussion, but this information is totally wrong (forgive me if I have mis-read this quotation). I have a very early live video of metallica playing a small club in the bay area which features both burton and mustaine in the line up (part of this video is featured in cliff em all). I also have an Interview with Dave Mustaine which was recorded not long after burton's death, where he stated that himself and Cliff were very close freinds and used to travel to metallica rehearsals together on the bus.

Probably the same people who >rejoiced when Kurt Cobain and Shannon Hoon died...wankers. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing the other day and I came to the conclusion that there are people that take their music WAY too seriously, to the point of making it the most important thing in their lives. Nothing wrong with that, would you say, but I start getting worried when I see people saying things like: . dropping a 40lb hammer on the head of someone that makes music that they don't like . saying that DT's music is reason enough not to commit suicide (yeah, that's been posted) . people going ballistic when other people think the bands they like suck, or when they see someone defending a band that they think sucks. . people who live by DT's lyrics as if they were the bible or something... and people that seem to agree with certain things and like certain bands simply because "Mike Portnoy says so"... and so on. In the end, when people start taking this music business too seriously, things like the death of John Lennon end up happening. I'm not saying that this is gonna happen here, it takes a real lunatic to do something like that, but I think we should try to chill down a bit and appreciate music for what it is - just a form of art destined for entertainment. Not some reason to create wars and hatred between people. Any responses, especially flames, please send privately... I don't think "music philosophy" is allowed in this list, and if someone's to be kicked out for raising this kind of questions, let it be just me... Christian.

I've got my tik... just looking for some other Jammers to hang out with. Unfortunately, all my friends are too close-minded for this type of music. I have one friend from work who's going to try to make it. I'm looking for anybody and everybody who is in the Tampa-St. Pete area to get together for a mini YtseCon : ) Direct all inquiries, questions, comments, etc. to: email_address_removed.

Anyone want > to send some mp3's of the new Tourniquet? I must concur with this. I like all Believer's albums, but Dimensions (Trilogy of Knowledge in particular, of course :) just blew me away when I heard it the first time. As far as what the band's doing now, I believe the last I heard is that they're sort of on indefinite hiatus or something like that. I don't think they ever officially broke up, but they haven't done anything in a long time. Try mailing email_address_removed. You may be able to find some info out there. The new Tourniquet rocks in the same vein as Vanishing Lessons did, but I'm not presently able to record mp3's.

Also include liking band X because a member [Enter nipple disclaimer here] I think it's just a matter of curiosity. Most of us on this list, while listening to a HUGE variety of musical genres ranging from rap to death metal to the Spice Girls at least share a common appreciation for progressive metal, and might find OTHER styles or bands through the ppl on this list and adopt them as their favorite bands; i.e., there is an amount of respect and consideration given when a ytsejammer posts a good/great/bad review of a work, as opposed to some 14 year old kid on the street who has all his body parts pierced and wears corderoy and Adidas. When somebody who's as heavily involved with the genre as we are starts raving about something, it's only natural that our curiosity is piqued and we want to find out why so and so said what about band x. Case in point for me anyways, Savatage: I hadn't so much as even heard a speck,thought, gust of a remaining year old fart of these guys until somebody brought them up on this list. I bought Edge of Thorns and was blown away! Same thing happened with Symphony-X and Angra, and Iron Savior (check out iParty sometime, it's a great tool for spreading "your music" to other interested Ytsejammers). If you call that some kind of sheep syndrome, that's your perogative. Ern posted a while ago that his persuit to find understanding in the "goodness/excellence" of music he doesn't quite "get" might help him as a musician, later on down the road. My nipple agrees. I'm still trying to understand what all the hype over Radiohead is. It's one of those bands I just don't think I'll "get" for a loong time, if ever. > Some people on this list never fail to amaze me with their lack of respect > for other people - some people like Bjork (me, for example), some people > don't, but suggesting that her career should be ended by using a 40 lb > hammer is nothing short of incitement to murder, which just happens to > be a criminal offence in many countries.

Sure, I've heard Mexican chefs skin cats and make them sound more musical than Bjork, but I would never want another human to literally drop dead from a large 40lb hammer being thrown through their skull. I'd use a gun, it's easier. :) ~Christopher William Eckie, Ptacek's psycho twin brother ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 16:21:09 -0200 (EDT) From: Rogerio Brito To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: re: london gig Message-ID: On Wed, 10 Dec 1997, Andrew Moore wrote: > Tim wrote: > > > lowlights: > > missing the end off "scarred" - thats my fave bit of awake - i feel > slightly cheated ;-) > > I was a bit disappointed a this too.
