I like that one much better. :) Who would have thought Marty and Nick doing new age albums 10 years ago? heheh. I wasn't too thrilled with True Obsessions though. Ah, well. I guess I was looking for him to continue on with the new age stuff and there were like only two songs like that on that album. >/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //// >ATTENTION HOME-BASED AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS!

Especially James...he was REALLY off that night...only get it if you're a serious die hard DT collector...and don't pay more than $50" I'm not trying to rip anyone off here, I just offered it up. The people who will want DT bootlegs especially older boots at that, have read all the reviews and there are sources to be found to if you haven't. If you want the replica, please go to Mike Bahr and purchase one from him for $40 (Bahr pretty much has the skinny on this disc on his website: It was given a 4 out of 5 rating on his replica list) or buy one from KAI for $20. I'm not really interested in wasting a lot of bandwidth on this, but if you are interested in this CD, I am asking for bids starting at $50 until March 2.

Message-ID: My cousin is planning on ordering Angra from a place called Molten Metal, which also has the Haji's Kitchen disc I want. Has anyone here ever heard of this place, or dealt with them? Good or bad, I need to know soon, so if you know anything about them, please email me soon, and post to the jam for everyone's benefit.

I thought he did fine on Oddyssey, but live he strains quite a bit. He started having voice problems in the early 90's, but you could hear his voice getting grittier on Oddyssey. BTW, he released a covers album called "Under Cover" in Japan last year, and it's pretty cool!

What song of EJ was nominated? Pavilion or SRV? I guess this was the main reason why Satch decided to put his new album now, to prevent this "jackasserie" stuff.

I saw a review of their first record like a year ago, in a Guitar School mag. The cover was made by Roger Dean, and they said thet it had some really prog music this side of Yes., with a song titled "Where the fuck s my wallet?", pretty cool title huh? Zappa s school!!!!!! mauricio ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 01:36:59 -0500 From: Lobsterback To: email_address_removed Subject: Tribal Rage/Plainville Message-ID: I was listening to the progressive channel of The DJ Player virtual radio (http://www.thedj.com -- great station, btw) when I came across one I hadn't heard of before: Jennifer Batten's Tribal Rage. The track was called "Zulu Wedding" off of the album "Momentum". Sounds to be some good stuff. Anyone know anything about this person/band? If anybody has in their posession a boot of the January 4th DT show at the Vanderbilt in Plainville, Long Island, NY, please contact me. I'd like to trade for it. I'm even willing to trade souls...not my own, of course. Roight. Brian "Radio KAOS" Henderson =========================== Name: W. Brian Henderson, Esq.

I don't know much else about her, but that might give you an idea what her album might me like. heheh. That's almost like saying James LaBrie does a great grizzly bear imitation even though I've never seen a real bear. Oh, well. He does though. Especialy when he glued all that hair he just cut off to his car. You oughtta see it. He cut all his hair off and glued it to his car and then drove around saying "I am a grizzly." and growled at people. And when people asked him what he was doing he would say that he was a grizzly and growl a them. I hope that answered your question. --KorgX3 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 00:21:41 -0800 From: Rick Audet To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Lords Boot Message-ID: Glenn, the d00d selling the Lords of Sound boot commented about...

The people who >will want DT bootlegs especially older boots at that, have read all the >reviews and there are sources to be found to if you haven't. .and so on.... I'll waste some worthless bandwidth on this. I've had this boot for a while now. For those being wishy-washy about whether or not they might want this, I'd like to add that it's a soundboard recording and it sounds f00king GREAT as far as bootlegs go. It's NOT lacking in treble enough to complain (it's a fucking bootleg for Moses' sake, unless of course you listen with mashed potato in your ears) and James does a decent job considering he pretty much sucked for the majority of the I&W tour (based on the collect of I&W boots I have). The person one might bitch about would be KevMo who apparently doesn't give a fuck about what he's playing and screws shit up here and there. But I'm not bitching about it. I don't like to bitch. :) Other fun things include the guys from the Galactic Cowboys singing the chorus at the end of "Take The Time", everybody's favorite "To Live Foo-evahh" ;) (with the extended jam at the end) and to top it off, the boot manufacturer, Kiss The Stone (aka KTS) was shut down in a big boot-bust just under a year ago. If you have half a brain you'll realize this means that it's out of print. OUT OF PRINT. Sure, it can still be sourced for about $45 or $50 if you know where to look. But since it is pretty darned hard to find I'd expect die-hard collectors and people wanting a good-sounding boot alike to be bidding like there's no tomorrow on this puppy. Let the madness begin. Speaking of Madness, hey Mads, you ever heard of Mannes Guitars, from Italy ? Rick Audet ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 03:22:17 EST From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Calling all Tab Heads - I have hit Paydirt!!!! Message-ID: Okay, this is the guy who has spent a lot of time and money trying to get whatever Japanese Tab Book I possibly could find! Thanks to the web, I have found a permanent, however expesive, connection to these Japanese Tab Books. I am currently setting up a purchase of many tab books from Friedman to MacAlpine to Dream Theater (ACOS full band score) to Stratovarious!!!! Perhaps, if you are interested, I can work with you to get your own copy from the company. Be forewarned. Shipping costs (Air mail from Japan) is VERY, VERY expensive. It is wise to order one big order so the shipping doesn't outweigh the cost of the product (which is actually reasonably priced). I asked for a subscription to Young Guitar, but the costs would kill me. Let me make it simple for you. It will cost me $265.74 for a one year subscription. That would breakdown to $22.145 per issue. Most of this cost is for shipping (as in one issue air mailed each month). I love this magazine, but that is just too rich for my blood. I would like to attempt something here. I have an idea. The shipping costs are what is killing me. Perhaps I can get together with a bunch of YTSE Jammers in America so I can get 20+ issues shipping to my address. I would then take the issues and ship via priority mail to each address. This should cut the shipping costs down HEAVILY. That way they can ship 20 magazines bundled together each month! I used to be a Buyer for a large retail company, so this is where the idea came from. It is like I am the warehouse, and the interested parties are the retail stores, so to speak. So what I would need is 20+ responses that show interest in this. If I get this then I will present the idea to the company. I would then get back to YTSE Jammers with their costs. Their cost would be the total cost / the number of people in the pool + $36 ($3 for priority mail to you x 12 issues per year). This is definitely worth doing if you are a fan of GREAT Guitar Magazines. Let me give you an example of what is in just one issue of Young Guitar. November 1997 issue: Paul Gilbert discussing his album - King of Clubs (and pictures) Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, Motley Spue Concert Review (and pictures) John Petrucci - Falling Into Infinity Guitar Excerpts (and pictures) Savatage - Wake of Magellan Guitar Excerpts (and pictures) Examples from Steve Vai and Frank Gambale Eric Johnson Live report (and pictures) Michael Romeo of Symphony X Monthly column with tab and picture Greg Howe Guitar Excerpts from Vitalij Kuprij's High Definition!!! (and pictures) Complete Band Transcriptions of : Dream Theater's Hollow Years Ten's Bright on the Blade Vitalij Kuprij's High Definition (the song) These are just the highlights. There are many other bands in here, but these are the ones that I thought would be relative to the jam. There are also many great ads for new albums (good way to find cool new bands), equipment, and much much more. This is one single issue which is very thick. Imagine a whole year of this! I know I sure can. So contact me at email_address_removed with interest in this. If you close enough to me (Orange County California, USA), you can probably just pick up your issue and save $36 for the shipping. Thanks, and just trying to help the Ytse Jammers get their hands on some very good product.

Have a couple >questions about them to any one who owns one or has played one. First off, >whats the neck like? [..] Well all of the following (imho) the neck is a little thick, a very heavy D-shape.. I do have long fingers so that's not the problem, but you'll be forced to play very accurate with the fingertips hitting the strings at nearly a 90 degrees angle. The neck of the RG is definitly more flat thus easier to play. The sound of the JPM100 is just incredible - I know some of the guys might disagree, but I really like the tone I get from the DiMarzio's. HINT: Be sure to test _any_ guitar before buying - check out how it feels: the neck, the bodyshape, the tone, don't go too much for the looks, you might be disappointed... BTW I was talking about guitars here but the same applies for girls ;) Bafu, why the Uroboross e-mail address?

A couple years ago, when I started playing guitar, I went to a music shop with a friend of mine who's played for a while. He had told me a lot of stuff previously about guitars, and I had played his a little, so I wasn't a total ignoramus, but close enough. I tried a bunch of them and ended up buying an Ibanez, EX Series. Now, the other day I was playing my friend's old cheap Lotus, and actually liked the feel a little better. My question is: does anyone have any opinions about this model of Ibanez? Are they decent as far as sound goes? I've never played it through a decent amp, so I don't even really know what the sound is like. Any remarks are appreciated. BTW, yes, I realize I look like a total amatuer here. As you've guessed, guitar isn't my big thing, and I usually play acoustic, not electric. -Brian ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 03:49:34 -0700 From: email_address_removed (Charoenkwan Luesumphan) To: email_address_removed Subject: Univers Zero/King Crimson Message-ID: >On Tue, 24 Feb 1998, Rogerio Brito wrote: > >> >> A question: what does the band Univers Zero sound like??

Hahaha.....that's right!! UZ music has some heavy violin and drums. Well , I have some sound clip of Univers Zero on my music page. http://www.sirius.com/~cluesump/text/music.html Univers Zero and Present are dark prog/fusion bands from Blegium. These 2 bands share some members. If you want to try some of them; for Univers Zero - start with "Heresie" (the darkest prog album I have ever heard), "Ceux Du Dehors" and "1313". For Present, try "Present Live". Present is going to do some tour in the U.S. in May. Univers Zero's music sounds like noone else. Present's music is more accessible (easier to get into). You may have to order the cd's from Cuneiform Records or try to find them in special record stores. There are some bands that have the similar style as UZ or Present. They are U Totem, 5 UU's and Art Zoyd (rather classic). >> I heard the first 3 songs from King Crimson's "Red" album and >>didn't really like what I heard: way too heavy, I think (but maybe I > >Yeah, they're pretty heavy, but I enjoy them... Red is the heaviest album by KC I think. This depends on what era you like. KC started with dinosaur prog style (In the Court - In the wake of Poseidon), prog jazz (Island), heavy prog (Larks' tongue - Red), prog jazz/Experimental (Three of a perfect pair - Discipline) and the double trio era/improvisation and experimental (Thrak - THRaKaTTaK). Has anyone heard anything by Ground Zero?
