I don't think I have ever heard a vocalist (and you are one, correct?) disparage Dio's abilities before. The man could (and can, to a certain degree, for a 60 year old guy) sing a storm.

However, if you mention drums and DT, I emidiately think of the intro to 6:00.. DT was pretty new to me (I had heard "A Change Of Seasons", and wanted more .. much more!). So I bought Awake... Turned up the volume, and ... dum dum dum... =) That was ... great!

Be it Helloween, Gamma Ray or > mayhap even Angra or Rhapsody, I would understand the comparison. SX > can (maybe) be compared to DT, but not to these neoclassical melodic > SPEED METAL bands. SX is by no means speed metal. While I agree that Stratovarius and SX are vastly different bands, I think your logic may be a bit extreme. Are Strato and SX both metal bands? Hell yes. The METAL definitely comes in front of the PROG in both of these bands. Are they both neoclassically influenced? Definitely. Are they both progressive and/or speed metal? This is where it gets arguable. Stratovarius definitely goes for the less progressive edge with standard song forms, but when they stretch out on the title track of Visions (10 minutes long) it gets very epic, very majestic, and I think they put together a great prog metal track here. Other than that though, their repetoire consists of mid-tempo power metal tune, high speed metal tune, and power ballad tune, all with neoclassical stuff mixed in. Symphony X on the other hand stretches it out on more than one tune on TDWoT. But I think the roots of the music are very similar, SX just tends to be a little more versatile and doesn't do the speed metal stuff all the way through. The vocals are very similar in both bands although Russel Allen's dual personality gives SX a great advantage. He can go from the evil sounding Dio voice to the beautiful clean voice (Candlelight Fantasia is amazing) and everything inbetween. Plus, since they're from the US, he doesn't have an accent :) People seem to want to either call a band prog-metal or just plain power metal these days. I think there are a ton of bands however that are putting out stuff that falls somewhere inbetween. I find Angra to be way more progressive and innovative than so many of the bands that are supposedly progressive. Ah who cares, categories suck! So besides all this metal shit, anybody who likes just plain old progressive should go buy every Spock's Beard album immediately, and then buy 10 more to give to all your friends and mail to radio stations to get this band promoted. :) Oh yeah, I don't care Chris Buzby is a dickhead, Finneus Gauge is a great band.

I agree, one of the most beautiful things that I have ever heard, in fact. And Apocalyptica's rendition of it is also beautiful. But please, let me know if I'm wrong, but the only variation that the word solos has in English is soloes, right?

Merlo" To: email_address_removed Cc: email_address_removed Subject: READ THIS Message-ID: The time has come. Personally, I wish it hadn't, but it's here now, and there's nothing I can do about it. I need to concentrate on school a great deal more than I've been able to, and that means making some tough decisions. This one, however, is the toughest I've had to make. I have decided to stop maintaining the Frequently Asked Questions list. I am extremely proud of all that I have been able to accomplish, for us and for the band, during the brief time that I have been the FAQ maintainer. It has also been a great deal of fun, as any labor of love should be. But crunch time has started for me at school, and I just don't have the time to do what I need to here, and still be fair to you, my fellow Jammers, and to the band. So, I'm having a contest. Naturally, I don't want to take this creation of mine (and those before me) and just hand it all over to some schlep like Dr. Mosh so he can go and dick it up, wasting the nearly two years I spent tweaking it. (Love ya, Mosh. :) But I don't really know who should be the next maintainer. So, I'm holding an essay contest. In 1 x 2^7 words or less, e-mail me privately and tell me why I should think about giving all the power and prestige of maintaining the FAQ to you of all people. Whoever convinces me most strongly that he/she/it is the best person for the job will become the new maintainer. Simple as that. Your e-mail address up on top and everything. I would like to hand everything over on Sunday, February 1st, so try to get your e-mail in by Friday the 30th, ok? (And you lose if you have to ask how much 1 x 2^7 is.)

Message-ID: Wow, just came from a friend's place and listened to a kick ass CD that Ptacek was raving about not so long ago. It's a CD by Al Di Meola, McLaughlin and De Lucia. It's a short *LIVE* CD (41 minutes). Very interesting material, definitely A MUST HAVE FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED in ACOUSTIC songs. I don't remember it's name, but it was something like "Live at night in LA" or something like this. Also, a must have CD is a CD of Zanon, a brazilian classical music player. He interprets every composition of Heitor Villa-Lobos, a classical music composer (also brazilian). The CD has 79:3x minutes and is worth the aprox. 13 bucks that CD Connection is charging.
