Message-ID: Since Graham was talking about EVH...this reminded me of something I wanted to share. I recently aquired VH III, my first listen I was very unhappy...me being a HUGE Extreme fan, and a HUGE fan of Gary's abilities. I'm not upset at his performance though as much as I am at the songwriting. Eddie has some MEAN licks on this album...Killer work...Alex has soem AWESOME grooves...and Gary has some excellent notes ta hit (Sorry Mike just never appealed to me)...but the songwriting doesn't seem very well structured. I mean, where the hell was the producer on this album??? I'm not trying to start a flame here...I DO like the album...it's a keeper, but maybe it could use a bit of Terry Brown or Kevin Shirley to help it a bit. _*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* ^ According to the circle of fifths, and the order of sharps and flats: ^ ^ If the alphabet continued as notes progressed (Using Major Key Sigs) ^ ^ (i.e. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, etc.) eventually the key of Z Major ^ ^ would have 4 sharps. ^ ^ "Just Lighten up and listen to the Music" -Kevin Moore (inside joke) ^ ^ Eric Moegling: Manager for "Lifting Shadows Off A Ring" ^ ^ and "Progressive Genius" ^ ^ The Dream theater and Progressive Metal WebRings ^ ^ HOMEPAGE - http://www.wezl.org/NuGgeTMaN or http://www.wezl.org/lift ^ ^_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_^ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 08:16:34 EDT From: The iban To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: EVH Message-ID: it's nice to know i'm loved by ALL jammers!! i love you too grrrrrrrahm maybe i'm not worthy to lick EVH's boots, but why the hell would i want to? I'm not the kinda person who worships other people, and i don't think of someone as a legend because he takes credit for something invented by a bassplayer, and is about as overrated as George Lynch (ouch i'm gonna get some flames for that one), don't get me wrong i like some of his solo stuff, but his dokken stuff was major guitar wankery. and me? a waste of bandwidth? maybe, actually most likely. but then again, who cares? every group of people need thier wastes of bandwidth, and hell, maybe someday i'll create my own bandwidth to waste, but until then, .. ah hell, nobody read this post this far, so i might as well just stop typeing now....

In Japan, being a huge market that it is, imports are generally cheaper than the domestic releases, so to get the Japanese people to buy the local discs they generally put on an extra track or 2 to give them an incentive to pay the extra money for the CD. For the same reason alot of CD's are released in Japan before the rest of the world. As for the bonus tracks on Conception CD's 'In Your Multitude' has one, that isn't listed anywhere on the CD or liner so I have no idea of what it is called. 'Flow' has a killer bonus song called 'Hand On Heart' which is my fave on the CD. graham ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 09:04:18 -0400 From: "Giannotti, Nick" To: "'email_address_removed'" Subject: The House that Jack Built? Cool name Message-ID: <4AA929543BC8D111A4E800600808ACE50CAE6F@HAMSXHA2> Anyways, he wrote... > I don't know if the bass thread is dead, but I saw Incubus the other >night, and the bassist had a great sound. He was using Warwick basses through >Eden amplification. Everything was crisp, and he and the drummer were really >tight. I myself am an Ampeg man, but to each his own. The bass thread is NEVER dead, man. :) While I'm not a Warwick man myself (I played a five string the other day - they wanted $2000 used for it, and the neck was like I was playing an unfinished 2x4), they DO have a nice sound. The Tobias Renegade on the wall was a much better-playing instrument, and cheaper, too. Eden amplification is the way to go, though, as far as I'm concerned (but, as Jack said, to each his own). For anyone looking into new bass amps, Eden (whose founder used to work for SWR, btw) is coming out with a new line of amplification called 'Nemesis', which, according to the redneck at E.U. Wurlitzer, is supposed to be somewhat cheaper than the stuff he's coming out with now. I'm interested to take a look at this, because I'm not QUITE ready to spend $1600 on the Eden Bass Head that I want (but DAMN, does it sound good!). Plus, they look like something off of the bridge of Deep Space Nine. You can't beat that. All you need now is Avery Brooks driving the butler from Benson around in a white Mercedes and you're all set. >Anybody know when the Myung Yamaha bass will hit stores? I can try and find out - I have a friend who works for a music store that deals with all the Yamaha high-end stuff down in MD, and he's coming up to visit tonight. I'll ask him to let me know as soon as he finds out.

Message-ID: I am glad I *only* have to drive 350 miles to see DT! (actually.. if I attend a Philly show i believe its closer to 290 miles). I still wish they'd play the Crowbar in State College <>. Another plug: Bryce Jordon Center on your larger tour :). An interesting story for the Phish fans... before their show last Autumn, the members went out to the Cafe 210 to watch another band perform. Several times that evening they bought rounds of drinks for EVERYONE in the bar!

Message-ID: Has anyone seen official confirmation of DT playing at Irving Plaza? By official, I mean from Ticketmaster's website, or from calling Irving Plaza. I haven't been able to get this confirmed, but I hope I'm getting bad info and other jammers have the date confirmed.

Yes, I know, I know. I forgot that Mike played on "No Respect" too. That's what I get for not checking for asterisks closely enough. I had a nagging feeling that I'd missed something and checked the disc list again ten minutes later. Was too lazy to correct myself; I should have known I'd get called on it. :) Paul remarked: > Sorry, Vaiman, that long post about kidney theft is a hoax (and a > waste of Jam-space, too).

(As you can see, it's an older hoax now, too.) Thanks, Paul. Now maybe people will STOP sending that one around.

I really need to check these guys out. I bought Streets a year ago, or so, but when my 100 disc CD case was accidentally tossed out by family members (as well as the face to my Alpine CD player, among other things) I had only listened to it a couple of times. I didn't particularly like the very gravelly voice of the vocalist (forgive my ignorance, I don't know his name), but with all the raving about them here I figured I might as well try them again. Anyone have MP3 samples (or better yet, full songs) of their stuff? If anyone could point me in that direection I'd appreciate it much.
