Keeps you laughing all day long. It's quite a riot. As opposed to Quiet Riot whish is something else entirely. I'm up for a cali-meet-jammer-fest. Either somebuddy's house or in S.F. proper at some "house o' food" would be best. And now on to grammar. First, in my experience, we Americans (a.k.a. Yankee Scum) tend to say that a music group or company IS something, while those of more British persuasion (a.k.a. Limey Bastards) tend to say that such an organization (organisation?) ARE something. I dunno about Canadians, Australians or other ENglish-speaking countries. And, the two conflicting grammar books only goes to show that Proper English is an oxymoron. Personally, I prefer to not use apostrophes for pluralizing anything, even when "correct" -- I will say something like "you need three fives" if I have to, or instead of an apostrophe, just put another one in front of the word and make it in single quotes, such as staitng the fact that there are theee 'm's in the word mammary. Or, dammit, find a way to say it without pluralizing the letter, such as saying that the letter 't' appears twice in the word 'testicle' Okay, so I'm tired and can only think of silly examples. consider yourselves lucky that I can type at all. ~Chris Oh, and happy bday Mikep ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 02:08:57 -0400 From: Lobsterback To: email_address_removed Subject: Michael Fath Message-ID: I did a bit of looking and found Michael Fath is going to be opening for the Steve Morse Band, whom I'm seeing at the Birchmere this Wednesday.

Message-ID: > Is Petrucci using a piezo? Excuse my ignorance, but what is a piezo? (in layman's terms, please) A piezo is a pickup generally used on electric-acoustic guitars. alot of electric guitar makers are putting them on electric guitars to get an acoustic sound, such as hamer and parker. they are mounted to the bottom of the guitar's bridge. chris ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 08:31:32 -0700 From: Arash Ashouriha To: email_address_removed Subject: re : Empty Tremor/Arkhe Message-ID: Trevor wrote : >Well, I got Empty Tremor-Apocolokyntosys and IMHO, though not >_quite_ as good as some have said (hi Arash), they are quite good and >seriously influenced by OOOFB, especially the drummer, who thanks >MP & DT in the notes, btw. >The title track is an instrumental in the same spirit as Ytsejam. >Maybe they should have called it Sysotnykolocopa. >If anyone is looking for the "lost" album between I&W and Awake >I would suggest Arkhe's s/t cd.

I actually love Arkhe. They are really great but (IMO) Empty Tremor are much better. Arkhe's singer is good. But his voice is not like La Brie. He trys to sing and sound like him. You know (IMO) Arkhe try to sound a bit too much like Dream Theater. Empty Tremor have their own sound and creativity. Anyway, both bands are really good and I'm really happy, that they are so many great talented bands out there. NP : Pink Floyd - Pusle <--- This one is the best live album I've ever heard. P.S. thanks to the jammers for their suggestions about Pink Floyd and Genesis.

Absolutely brilliant stuff. It will have to be an amazing show that can top this one. Perfect (well, would be if they had played Fade to Black... *sigh*).

(in layman's terms, please) An acoustic guitar pickup, I do believe, or a pickup that does one hell of a job of simulating an acoustic on an electric guitar. Usually placed in/under a bridge. It's different for every person. Basically, you know it when you hear it. Also, what exactly is the definition of "power metal"? Symphony X, Angra, Stratovarius, etc. Check these bands out :) Peace and love, and good happiness stuff, ~Vince =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | http://www.prognosis.com/obscure/ | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 22:18:39 +1000 From: Nick Storr To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 3766 Message-ID: >Well it's not often that I get to review a gig for you, Van Halen >were kind enough to visit Australia and Sydney for the first time >tonight.

Mike wanted to know: > Seriously, is there anyone around here who > DOESN'T love the beard? I mean, EVERY other band ever mentioned around > here has at least a few detractors who have posted, but I don't think I can > say that of SB. /me raises his hand timidly. "Er, yes." After hearing so many raves about Spock's Beard, I picked up "The Light" from the Laser's Edge. My reaction? Interesting, but for the most part I was unimpressed. The production left something to be desired, IMHO, and I *really* didn't care for Neal Morse's voice in several places. Did I pick the wrong disc to start with? Are "Beware of Darkness" and "The Kindness of Strangers" better sounding discs? Then again, this might be Conception all over again. I picked up "Flow" after rave reviews of Conception and was mostly unimpressed. Then I picked up "In Your Multitude" -- wow, what a difference. Now I even like "Flow" better than I used to.

I was surprised to see that Gregg Bissonette is playing drums on this album.I only have one album where he is playing.Steve Lukatherīs :Luke.That album is a mix of straight forward rock and alternative and sucks pretty bad.I also know that he has played with David Lee Roth.I had always thought that he was this straightforward 4/4 guy who has no chops.How wrong I was!His playing on this album is just mindblowing. -Vilzu- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 22:45:49 +1000 From: Nick Storr To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Is Petrucci using a piezo?

Any suggestions or recommendations? I've been using a Boss Acoustic pedal. It cost me $249 (Australian Dollars, I bet it's a lot cheaper wherever you are!) and it sounds pretty good. If you look at one, try and check it out through a PA or an acoustic amplifier, as through a regular guitar amp, it still sounds pretty electric. Also, it sounds a lot more authentic when you use a single coil pickup. I was considering a new trem with a piezo, but this pedal solved all my problems! Nick Storr PS: Sorry for the multiple posts!

(in layman's terms, please) A piezo is basically a pickup. (Correct me if I'm wrong, guys) You can put it in (or under the bridge) of an electric guitar and make it sound like an acoustic. Some guitar companies are making two guitars in one with it: 2 outputs (one electric / one acoustic with the piezo) with volume knobs for each and a blending knob (so you can play both or go total electric or acoustic). I thought I had heard that Petrucci was trying to work out the kinks of putting one in his electric so that he could play all the acoustic parts without having to switch guitars. Anybody know?
