When I brought up my points about picks sounding just as good as fingerstyle, I didn't mean to overemphasize the high speed stuff... the pick can be equally beautiful sounding in slow lines as in fast ones... also, chordal playing often sounds better with a pick than fingerstyle. Check out some flatpicking... if you want a whole package album, get Jeff Watson's Shrapnel album... 8 finger stuff... shred picking, and some extremely emotive flatpicking songs. Steve Morse makes some rocking appearances, as does Sammy Hagar. > Has anybody heard the Shrapnel album "Psycho acoustic overture" by the > german guitarist Bernd Steidl? > Its the only album he released with Shrapnel, and that was long ago, but > i m curious to know how it sounds like....so if anybody can help......... Psycho Acoustic Overture is like Yanni on guitar. A LOT of orchestration (playing with contemporary themes as well as romantic and classical era compositions... a GREAT Paganini piece). He plays extremely fast, most of the time, and because of this, he sometimes lacks dynamics... playing on nylon strings doesn't help dynamics, either. If you like Gilbert or Yngwie, and you like DiMeola, you will like this album. I've learned some of his licks and stuff.. very talented. Anyone know what has become of him?

WHOA!!!!! It rocks right out of the blocks... Anybody who is a fan of DT, and a fan of great instrumental music, go get this NOW!!!! The excuse that no store has it is a lame one. Go to a local shop or someplace that can ORDER it for you. It's easy, fairly quick, and well worth it. OR order it from Magna Carta directly for $15.98... http://www.magnacarta.net/ also... With the Platypus collaboration with Derek, John Myung, Ty Tabor, and Rod Morgenstein (is that right?)...what label is that gonna be on? Is it a Magna Carta release as well? Should be great, regardless.

Noone else on this list probably knows about him... This is Ivan Smirnov from Russia... He plays a sort of fusion, maybe, well, I don't know how to call the style he plays, but believe me, this guy is REALLY worth listening to!!! If this is of any interest to you - mail me and I'll e-mail you a ound-clip of him playing (or I'll put it to my homepage) and if you like it, maybe we'll trade of whatever...

It is a good second leg boot of a DT images and words show in Italy. Sounds great, sound board probably recorded to tape as there is some tape hiss and a little lacking in high end, but you can hear everybody fine. There are a few segments where the sound reverts to an audience recording, like during Only a Matter of Time and the end of Pull me Under into the beginning of Eve. If you have a boot called Lost in the Sky, avoid this as it is a duplicate of that one. I don't know which is better if you don't have either, but I know they are the same show. Anyway, there is more. first, I found the Hollow years single, and like it. I am not keen on the radio edit of HY. You ro me is fine with me, and I didn't listen to the last song all the way through but like it, even though none of them are progressive by nature. Secondly, found Cairo's new one and like that too, but not as much as their first album. Bear in mind that I haven't given these enough listens. I like how Derek's keyboard takes the bottom end in You or Me and think they should've stuck with that. I like the song and consider it separately from YNM. It sounds different enough to me, I mean there are similarities but all in all it is a different song. When looking for LTE, the guy in vintage Vinyl up the street from me said they sold out, it would be in the progressive section. I gave my name and number and they will call me when it comes in. I wonder if they have a web site or if you can mail order from them, if so, I will find out if anybody is interested. Their progressive section is quite large and I found HY and Cairo there as well as Royal Hunt, and some of my DT stuff like the Silent Man single which has been in that store forever. If anybody is interested in TSM, let me know. Finally, Journey's upcoming live album sounds great and I am so pissed that I don't have enough money to buy all thisgreat music. Fuck you all. Lastly, I will be changing my sig soon, so be warned. I like having Mike Portnoy on the Jam. I wish everybody else would hang out more often. -- Damon Fibraio, email_address_removed Keyboards, vocals, musical slut I'll play for money. Enquire if interested.

After a fruitless search Tuesday all over town trying to find LTE, I gave up and ordered it (along with three other discs) from CDNow on Wednesday. I had the discs in my hand today. CDNow is an outstanding place to shop for the "supposedly sold in stores but never actually in stock" discs like Jason Becker, Tony MacAlpine, LTE, Lemur Voice, and so on. For prog discs, I'd say stick with the Laser's Edge ( http://www.jersey.net/~lasercd ) or Sentinel Steel (call or fax 973-691-5859). Both have insane pricing and great selections. For the really impossible to find, try Dream Disc (219-347-8080), which has normal import prices ($15.00 - $25.00) but can find you absolutely anything at all. As for LTE itself -- ye gods and little fishes. Musicians this insanely talented should not be allowed to work together; they make the rest of us miserable. :) Mike P, if you're reading --- hell of a job, and tell John the same thing!!! What a great disc....

One more thing before I disappear here. Madsman, I take back anything I said recently about Petrucci not having a signature sound. It occurred to me as I was listening to "Freedom of Speech" that the runs and phrasings I was hearing couldn't possibly have been from anyone else. I know I said that he was "close" to developing his own signature sound -- man, was *I* wrong.

Is it live also?? It's a studio album and more relaxed than "Friday Night." Probably on par with "Passion, Grace, and Fire," though a little bit more diverse (more songs). I like it. Another great album to pick up (I saw it in a store once and didn't get it. I haven't seen it since. I'm still kicking myself) is by Paco de Lucia, and is called something like "One Midsummer Night." A live album, just Paco and a flute player and a kickbutt rhythm section. Some great stuff on that, one of which was, in a different version, on "Passion, Grace." -=- I know a monster when I see one in the mirror. --------------------==== Broken via True Love ====------------------- http://www.afn.org/~afn39111 Butcher, Rape, Smash to Pieces ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 23:05:28 +0000 From: "CP Parnham" To: email_address_removed Subject: Painkiller by Angra Message-ID: Hello, I know this NDTC but someone a week or so ago (probably on the DT chat channel??) said that the Angra version of Judas Priest's Painkiller was crap because of the vocals. To the person who made that comment: Have you heard the original at all??? Angra's singer is just trying to sing the song like Rob Halford sang it originally, and in my opinion he does it brilliantly! (I've only just downloaded it tonight!) I love the original, and I love the Angra version, but unfortunately I don't have any Angra albums yet, but I will! I love their music!

It is the ONLY import (bootleg) CD I ever bought. I bought it for the Majesty demos and consider the $30+ I spent well invested. I am more of a fan of unreleased stuff than a bunch of live stuff. It does have a good version of Mission Impossible live though! I haven't heard many bootlegs, but I would guess the quality is comparable to a quality bootleg.

The show in Hannover last Saturday was great, but this one was just *better*. Okay, they left out that part where some audience members help out with the drum solo, they didn't do that excerpt from "One" at the end, and Mike sucked at throwing his sticks to Derek ;-) *but*: -They played "Anna Lee" (which I hadn't heard live before). -If I'm not completely wrong the lightshow was bigger and better (probably because the venue was bigger). -The band had FUN. There was *a lot* of smiling and laughing going on, and that includes John Myung. -They played the most incredible version of The Ytse Jam that I've ever heard. The song itself wasn't drastically different, I think, but the energy and chemistry between the guys was just breathtaking. John Myung smiled during this song. :-) The funniest moment occured during the Metropolis medley, though: John Petrucci played one of his solos and ... he didn't stop soloing. Eventually James and Mike carried him backstage (while he was still playing!). That was just priceless... I don't think the show in Muenster tomorrow will top this (except if they'd play ToT or do some Nightmare Cinema or Nicky Lemons which I don't expect), but I'm sure I'll be having a good time finding out...

I think this is a big step towards something >> very cool for us all here on the 'jam, and I hope that no-one ruins it >> by blasting Mike's e-box full of crap everyday. I am purposely refraining Agreed. Just stop a second and think. Mike's been reading the jam. There are over 1,000 of us here. He has all of our email addresses. If he wanted to say anything to you, he could have at any time by now. Obviously, the ones who haven't aren't cool enough to get a response (I haven't either and don't expect one), so don't bug the shit out of him so we can keep an open link of communicae from him and not have him fear pressing the send button again. :) And about picks. heheh. They cost roughly $.25 to $.50 apiece. Just go down to the local music store and buy a variety and use the ones you like. Nuff said. Just don't forget to clean your guitars thoroughly with soap, water, and SOS pads. Capiche?
