Message-ID: Have they been mentioned here before? Their samples at Kights of the Round are very interesting (I've not been to the band's own site yet.) Very Fates-ish - not your typical progressive metal cliches. The singer sounds like an EXACT cross between Ray Alder and James LaBrie. Isn't Mosh pushing these guys as well? Thougts? Let's discuss.

This so totally sucks! Oh well, I guess I'll have to take a nice drive to NY to be able to see them again... Anybody from Montreal interested? I got 3 more seats in my car! I just wish my boss will let me take 4 days off... Take care all! Steph =:) Thought of the day: second biggest country in the world, and only one visit from DT... No wonder it is falling into anarchy!

Isn't Phoenix one of the BIGGEST hard rock/heavy metal cities in the country? They're even getting good radio airplay here. This just doesn't make sense to me.

My current band might have scored an opening slot at one of the biggest frat parties of the year in a couple weeks, so we'll see just how much will power I have....

I've heard quite a few people say that a good solid drummer is hard to find. And I think that it's because of a drive and determination factor. The truth is, to be good at what you do takes giving a lot to gain a little, and drums are no different than any instrument in that respect. There is also a lot of the physical aspect involved. I remember a time about a year ago when I stopped playing for about a month, and when I got back behind my kit, my legs and ankles started wearing out pretty quickly. I never did that again. To constantly get better, at least for me, what a person should always do is believe that whatever they've accomplished is not good enough. Because then a person is always taking that extra step, putting forth that extra bit of effort that it takes to get so much better. :) > so i often wonder how the > instrumentalists minds work when theyre performing, if they are on autopilot > all the time, or if they think about whats coming up, etc. im sure a lot of > it depends on the difficulty of what youre playing. then throw in the option > of singing (either lead or backing vocals) and playing, then what happens? i > know quite a few people (both people who are primarily singers and those doing > backups) who have problems with that depending on how the two line up > musically. thought on that anyone? I know I probably sounded like a hopeless alcoholic, but that's not the case. I do enjoy drinking while I'm playing, I like that fine line between the great head buzz, and the drunken state. I like to stay right between there. It lets you still be aware, and also makes you more uninhibited. Right now I play in a cover band, and most of the stuff is 4/4 with little difficulty, so drinking isn't really a factor. I wouldn't advise drinking when doing more technically oriented songs, that's just common sense that I wouldn't want to stumble behind my kit to start playing "Scarred" or "Take The Time." I guess it's up to the individual to find their sweet spot on the drinking scale, or not drink. One of the guys in my band rarely drinks, and that's fine with me. I just enjoy it, and I've found my limit as far as drinking too much, and still playing with proficiency. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Mar 1998 08:54:31 +0100 From: "Daniele Liverani" To: Subject: EMPTY TREMOR offer free promo tapes to all the ytsejammers !!!

I'm going to consider Music Man guitars . . . now, where can I find them? Or B.C. Rich's? I know the latter are cool, because my friend has a Warlock II and I've played it. I just haven't seen anything but the big brands when I've gone into a music store lately. Also, I just received a Carvin catalogue in the mail. How are their guitars? Sorry for all the questions, but I live out in the boonies, and we have very few music stores where I can actually experiment with different guitars/gear to get a better idea of what's what. I still know *very* little about gear, other than what I already own. Hey, Philly-area 'jammers!! Anyone going to that show coming from the Allentown area? We could meet in A-town and go from there . . . I don't think my parents are gonna be too crazy about me driving down to Philly on my own, but whatever. This *WILL* be my first DT show. I am determined to get there, no matter what. If anyone has any ideas, wants to meet somewhere, or whatever, let me know ASAP!! As if you hadn't heard enough of how fucking amazing Liquid Tension Experiment is . . . This album ROCKS!! I've been listening to it in the car and at home all week . . . How they did *THAT* within *ONE WEEK* is beyond me. That's talent for you. And Petrucci's solos are killer on this one. I can't listen to it enough . . . That's all for now, gotta run . . .
