I heard this on ABC news radio just now: The guy who came onstage while
Bob Dylan was singing on the Shammy awards show last night later
identified himself as "Michael Portnoy." Did I hear this wrong?

It was indeed "Michael Portnoy."  As I was flipping channels today, I came 
across "MTV Live" just as they were bringing Mike on.  He had patches of 
hair growing in strange places on his face with weird paper-clip looking 
things growing out of them.  Maybe MP has been taking hits off JLB's bong 
at recent shows.

In any case, the guy basically talked about how music has lost all of its 
raw energy and that was the feeling he was trying to convey when he did his 
"full body dry-heaves set to music."  He apologized to Dylan, saying that 
the Dylan set was the only time he could get exposure.  I suppose he 
could've taken the Ol' Dirty Bastard approach...

Yup.  I played a PGM at the music store here in town one day, and it felt to
me just like the RG I have.  The sound was a little different since I put in
different DiMarzzio's, but it truly is a rad guitar.  Don't pay too much for
it, though, they sold the one here for only $700 or so.  But then if you
find one with a spinning wheel or a loom included for more I wouldn't pass
up the offer.  I hear Ibanez loom's are pretty hard to find anymore.  I
remember they use to make them by the assload in Korea before the War and
they closed all the sweatshops down.  Now they're a collector's item.
Especially if they came factory installed with a DiMarzzio abacus.  Ahhh....
What ever happened to the good ol' days?

Message-ID: <message_id_removed>


This is from the New York Post:


Later, a shirtless man with the words "SOY BOMB" painted in black
on his bare chest, did a trippy, robotic dance onstage while Bob
Dylan performed his tune "Love Sick."

An unflappable Dylan stood two feet from the dancer, later identified
as Michael Portnoy, who was hustled off by security after about 30
seconds.

The organizers decline to press charges, police said, and Portnoy
was released after being booted from the Music Hall.

Portnoy, 26, told The Post he was hired as a back-up dancer, but
conceived his prank as "an act of pure revolution."

"It's my path toward superstardom," said Portnoy, who called
himself "a multigenre mastermind artist."

Portnoy, who described himself as "almost a vegetarian," said "SOY
BOMB" means "sort of life and death and explosion."

Has anyone on here heard anything more about this CD?  Like what style it
is supposed to be in, how prominent the keys are, anything of that nature.
I guess this is one more supergroup to add to my list.

Then again, after what Doug Pinnick did to LitS, I might want to steer
clear of anything King's X related. :)

come on, you can't put down Green Day, they are some of the best song writers

very original, i doubt anyone from the ytsejam could even begin to write some

That's debatable. He adapted an existing style to a new instrument,
perhaps....

>Like it or not, he will always be here to stay.

Not true. Everyone dies eventually.

>And it pisses me off to hear so many people putting the guy down.

Then don't take it so personally. Yngwie can be an acquired taste. Don't
get so pissed off that everyone hasn't acquired it.


>I doubt ANYONE on Ytsejam can

You will *definitely* get flamed for that. :)

Why is it that *anyone* who likes a band is allowed to say so, but only
those of equal caliber to a musician are allowed to express *their*
opinion? I don't have to be a musician to know what kind of music sounds
pleasing to my ears, any more than I have to be a chef to know what kind of
food I like to eat.

>If you don't like Yngwie's style, just don't listen to him.  You
>should respect him and don't put him down.

I can respect a musician and still dislike the music that he makes. I'm
pretty talented that way.

>Putting down a musician
>should be saved for unoriginal, untalented shit musicians like the guys
>from Bush, Green Day, and most importantly Kingdom Come!

So basically, your whole post sums down to "People should be allowed to
bitch about music *I* like, they should only bitch about music that *I*=
 hate".

Personally, I really haven't listened to enough of Yngwie's music to pass
judgement on it, I just hate it when people start complaining about all the
complaining. Most of the reviews of "Facing The Animal" that I've seen on
the list have been fairly positive, so I'm not really sure what you're
getting so upset about anyway.

What pisses me off is that you come across as one of the elitist prog-heads
that I really hate - the people who think that if the music isn't
technically complex, it isn't worth listening to. To me, those people are
just as bad as the people who won't broaden their horizons out from Top-40
pap.

>Enough Said!

Okay, I'll shut up then. :)

Hi!

 With all the bitching about the Grammy's on the list lately, I haven't seen
this mentioned yet. Michael Hedges won the "Best New Age" Grammy for his album
Oracle. Of course, they didn't actually present this award live, it was just
briefly mentioned before one of the commercial breaks, but I still thought that
was pretty cool. Anyway, thought some of you might be interested in this little
tidbit.

Take care,

Well, Steve Vai and Eric Johnson were nominated for a Grammy in the
category of Best Rock Instrumental. Of course, the Chemical Brothers won
it. Congrats to whomever it was that predicted this on the list - you
predicted an act of jackasserie before it occured!

I don't really know anything about the Chemical Bros, so I could be
mistaken.
But, doesn't an album actually have to feature real instruments to be
considered
instrumental?  I'm so fucking sick of pop culture and music (<==said VERY

Subject: DT tour w/ Deep Purple
Message-ID: <message_id_removed>


Hello-

reasons-

1) tickets wil be more expensive and most likely reserve seating so it
will be MUCH harder to get up front. I only got to see them once on the
fall tour, and everyone else in my group did not want to wait in line to
get up front so I was going to go relly early to the concerts over the
summer to get close.

2) DT will probably not play for very long.

3) With a ton of non-DT fans it will ruin the atmosphere a bit.

3) Not being a huge fan of either Deep Purple or most anyone else that
would join the tour, I would be paying 3 bands to just see 1.

Howeaver on the lighter side I do realize that-

1) It will give DT a lot more exposure.

2) They will most likely make more $$.

	So all in all it wont be to bad, after all it is DT, but I was hoping
to catch them in a smaller venue again. Oh well it may still work
somehow.

>Ah, the Ibanez EX, also known as the Driftwood Series. :)
Hmm, mine's made out of basswood.  Pretty damn heavy and sounds great.  My
first electric was an Ibanez EX370 that I bought from a guitar shop in
1992.  I love the guitar.  It's body is a cross between the Ibanez RG
series and the Joe Satriani models.  Real slick and very heavy.  With my
EX, I replaced the neck (after I accidentally broke the damn thing a few
years back) with a Jackson neck, and I've put a Seymour Duncan trembucker
pickup in it, and I'm planning on putting an DiMarzio Air Norton (Petrucci
uses these) in the neck position.
This guitar is almost the ultimate guitar for me, and it sounds and feels
awesome.  It's my main studio and live guitar, and I have two others to
choose from.  The only drawback that it has is that it's not a
neck-through.  Other than that, I'm totally satisfied with it.
>Actually, I owned
>one of these for a while, and the sound wasn't all that bad, and the
>playability was alright. The tremolo on it sucked, though. But for only
>$299, I wasn't going to complain.
There you go :)  Mine's the $600-$800 model with the double-locking Floyd.
I was never a huge fan of the neck on the EX, but now that I've got the
slicker, faster, flatter Jackson neck, the guitar's playability is a 9 out
of 10 in my book.  Did you have one of the models with the EX written in
silver or in red?  The models with the big EX symbol written in red really
sucked a fat donkey ass, but the earlier ones (like what I have) are really
smooth.


....Hmmmm.  the 6 to 8 hundred model.  Add to that the price of a new neck,
a couple hundred on new pickups;  ever think it would've been simpler (and
wiser) to just purchase a Jem, or JPM, or one of their other high-line
guitars?

Actually, there was a metal category.  Completely ignored by the pop
media, but it was there, with Pantera, Megadeth, Tool, Korn, and
Corrosion of Conformity competing for this lame ass award.  Of all the
bands nominated....

.Tool took home the award.  :^|

And the Chemical Brothers are the fine creators of that catchy hit
single, "Block Rockin' Beats."  Unless you've been living away in a cave
without electricity and away from any form of primitive society, overrun

you've heard this little piece of ear magic.  Yes, it's sick (in many of
our nipples) that the Academy thought this song was superior to Vai's
and Johnson's 'n Satch's stuff.

BUT...all is not lost.  While that pompthumous show was concluding,
another awards show was going on....

Hi, I  recently got an Ibanez Rg 450dx black (mirror pickguard)  and i
was wondering.. if.. theres a reliable way to get a guitar painted.. for
example id like to get petrucci's b/w graphic.. or something similar..
How can i go about that?

Next you'll wanna get a couple of new pickups, and what the hell, that neck
just
don't feel quite right either.
Seriously a pro paint job with the graphic is at the very least gonna set
you back
200-300.
Just buy the guitar you want in the first place.
BTW, No I don't work for Ibanez.

Heh heh, worry not, I post no more IRC banter...after I'm done with 
this one. >;)
If any of ya wanna read the whole event as it happened, check out
Itchy's DT page.  For those of you who are on the verge of flamin' my
curly haired ass for posting this, go get laid.

<MTVDude> For the Best Ytse Cackle, Coldfire took home the award 
<MTVDude> Best YtseQuotes was also taken by the congenial mistress
<MTVDude> The Best Insult without mention of a Yak or Marilyn Manson's
Testicles was taken by Madsman
<MTVDude> The Biggest Gay Ytsejammer Award went to D-Man
<MTVDude> the Biggest YtseAss Award went in a suprising and
unprecidented split decision between Coldfire and M-Bone

<D-Man> what precisely is a YtseAss?
* coldfire moons D-Man
<D-Man> oh, *that*.
<MTVDude>  that's  a Ytseass

<MTVDude> Best Ytsejammer Accent went to Chalkface, for his butchery of
the word, "February"
<MTVDude> Most Immature Ytsejammer went to the skull fucking lad
himself, Ben Lassaude
<MTVDude> and after a heartfelt recognition of Bafu Vai, the first ever
Bafu Vai award was handed out to D-Man, for his contribution to the
Ytsejam community

<D-Man> "I'd like to thank the Academy, my parents, and Simon and
Garfunkel for that little ditty about the bridge."
<MTVDude> And there you have it.  More updates every hour, ten to the
hour."  (Megadeth bassline)
<MTVDude> where you hear it...first
