Message-ID: > From: "Charlie Korch" > Subject: Please Read I went through this stage too. :) Many of you misunderstand my motives for that last argument, but that's over. I make no attempt to control or suggest the proper direction for the Ytsejam anymore... but I'm not above criticising things that I think are bullshit. Minus any name calling and that sort of thing, for the most part. :) But back to my point... Charlie A). That's Ben... that's the way Ben is. If that offends you, don't leave the list... because he's not on it. He posted because that's the way he shows his displeasure with someone (yes, it's fucked up, and no that's not a defense). I laughed at it when I saw it, just because it's so ludicrous and insane... Ben has no point. But he's got worms and filth. > Does anyone know when DT will be coming back to the US (particularly > Atlanta) for more shows? I thought there was just a post on this... either way, you can get almost all relevant news on UACM (http://www.prognosis.com/dream) or on Syrinx's page (I think it's http://www.mindspring.com/~syrinx but he'll correct me if I'm wrong). > From: Eric Rodger > Subject: Re: No DT/Playstation (Sony) > > I've heard that this ISN'T possible, although I can't prove it or explain why. Not that this is relevant, here's the answer, as I'm told by people in the know: There is a modification you can do or have done to your Playstation, that will allow it to play import games (which are often much less expensive). This modification also supposedly allows you to play CDR copies of Playstation games that are not originally imports. AFAIK, this modification is legal (though I don't own a Playstation). > From: Mark Bredius > Subject: UACM tabs, xmas CD > > I guess what I'm trying to say, if you want tab, "real tab", then > > you should just buy the tab books because you know that they'll be > > correct.. That's entirely false. I don't think I own a tab book that is free of error. Your only benefit to buying them is that they're bound, and contain more songs, usually... and they've been edited, so supposedly they should be more accurate. A good transcriptionist will do a better job than the book since usually he's doing his work because he has a desire to have it on paper. Most common errors I see on books: positions for the tab side, and oversimplifying tapping and confusingly intricate legato (read: Holdsworth). > Does anyone know if I can get into trouble, if I add those tabs > to UACM (including copyright and ordering info for the books) ? You can get into a LOT of trouble. Heheh and since it's on my domain, let's all stay OUT of trouble. :) Smoke Marlboro "Apathy is the "suckbird" on cynicism's bloated carcass." - Dennis Miller Chris Ptacek email_address_removed http://www.prognosis.com/madsman Go Home and Practice! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 18:35:05 EST From: MTeiper To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: JP's Sega game sound files Message-ID: Hey Everybody - > Now when is that Petrucci-laden pinball game going to be ported to a system > with a future?!?! damn. Speaking of Necronomicon (or is it Necromicon?), does ANYONE out there know where I can find DECENT recordings of JP's stuff on this Sega game? I already have heard the crappy RA versions - are there any WAV or MP3 versions floating around out there? Or, if anyone has a decent audio recording of these tracks, PLEASE e-mail me.

Message-ID: Brian, >>You know, you're allowed to think about things instead of just going by whether there's a 'smiley' or not.<< I do consider myself a thinker, but it is difficult to get a point across online. You can't see a person's face or hear one's tone of voice in an e-mail. You say you meant this to be a joke then I will now consider it one. I also consider myself to be a rather humorous individual, but I don't find Ben funny. Once again, that is just my opinion, and you don't have to agree with it. >>It's a common humorous saying.<< Sorry, but I have never heard it before. >> I should that it's ludicrous enough that you should figure out it's a joke even if you've never heard it. Maybe I'm wrong.<< Wrong or not, I don't even know why we are discussing this. I do not have a problem with you. I do have a problem with Ben's idiotic statement that was placed on the jam. Now that I know that Ben is some 14 or 15 year old loser (NOTE: not all 15 year olds are losers) who just wants some attention, I don't feel as offended by it. I think he was just trying to get a reaction. And by judging from those defending him (you and Carol) and those who considered his statement a complete waste of time (me and a few others) he has succeeded.

Four to eight weeks is acceptable for >any mail order business - 10 months is not. Adam- I am in 100% agreement with you here. A lot of Jammers have posted about the high quality of Prism Records products. True. I agree that these of some of the best boots out there. What I do disagree with is the fact that the web site leads people to expect a shipment when it was never shipped. Your mention of Prism Records email about the discs being shipped weeks ago... I thought it was just me that the post office has screwed up. I sent a check in for Precious Things and Darkest of Winters 10 months ago as well. I received PT in the mail 2 days ago. I have yet to receive DOW or the 3 other discs I have paid for (all checks have been cashed). I have read Prism's page regarding the mass of email, but no other business' customers would accept a ten month delivery time for products. Especially if the business is telling customers that the products were shipped 6 weeks ago. I have nothing against personal against Mike Bahr, my complaint is with the business of Prism Records. All of us who look at the web site and expect discs should get them in a timely manner. I do not care whether Mike makes money on this or not. In fact, I think it's great that he does, but the fact remains, ship the discs when you say you have shipped the discs... Don't put up wrong information and tell people to expect them shortly when they are not coming.

I have special announcement: I have decided to venture into the bootlegging business myself. Now I know you're thinking, "but buster, we already have plenty of great resources for that! just go to any cassete rack in any truckstop!" but no, this is different! Fresh! New! For a limited time I will be selling my homemade bootleg recordings of that famous trio - The Chipmunks! Yes, thats right, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore LIVE, recorded at various shoppping mall tours around the country performing all of your favorite Dream Theater hits Chipmunk style! The recordings were made with a handheld Sony walkman that was placed on the stage, which I then jacked into my $39.95 no-name boombox from Kmart and duped over to cassette for supreme listening quality! Each cassette is only $29.95 (hey, i have to pay for this boom box somehow!) and includes hits like, Under A Glass Acorn, Take the Pine (cones), Take Away My Fleas, and Alvin Lee. Yes folks, its time to let Alvin, Simon, and Theodore take you to new hieghts in progressive listening!! Just visit this web site for ordering information and a *picture* of them after a recent show: http://www.dhpc.com/dtchips/ Although it has been *rumored* that Alvin was "smoked up" at that particular show while performing the hit single "Burning my Bowl", no one can really prove it, and besides; he sounds great on the bootleg! buster :P ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 17:26:22 -0700 From: "woot" To: Subject: burning PS discs Message-ID: <001601bd214c$36d98ca0$message_id_removed> I broke down and bought one...a Sony Playstation. GREAT! huh? Games are 60 bucks each? oh ok...HERE IS WHAT I would like to know. Since CD burners are on the rise etc..etc..can you copy a Sony playstation game and use it? Does it use the same equipment? It seems that the Sony Playstation CD is alittle 'thicker'. Anyone have any info on this? Let me know...thx! from what I hear, PS discs have little spaces where there isn't any data. supposedly this confused the burners enough to make the burned discs unplayable. why PC CD-ROM companies don't do this is beyond me. I got al= l this stuff from my bro-in-law who is a wicked computer freak but don't be surprised if it's all bunk. If this was covered already gimme a break.

I was talking with the E-man (who hardly ever posts anymore to the jam because he is a whore) about this a few months ago and he suggested that Mike's CD service would be that much better if he charged us a few extra bucks for priority mail instead of his usual first class mail. This would definitely speed things up and perhaps many of the shipped CDs would not get lost in the mail. Mike sent me a Rush CD at least twice without it ever coming to my door. He then tried priority and it came within a couple of days. So perhaps this is one reason why there are delays.
