That sounds pretty cool! Secondly.... Power metal. > > Also, what exactly is the definition of "power metal"? > Symphony X, Angra, Stratovarius, etc. Check these bands out :) > ~Vince Yes, I have checked out these groups. Stratovarius I like alot (I have Visions) I have Angra's Angels Cry, and I like it for the most part, but it annoys the Hell out of me when Matos does those girly-voice parts (I like his voice 90% of the time though) Symphony X's The Divine Wings of Tragedy just totally kicks ass. But my question is more like "how do we define power metal" (as opposed to say heavy metal)? I always think of "metal" as being stuff that has really heavy (head-bangin') relentless driving riffs. Symphony X certainly comes to mind, as does older Metallica for example. So when we talk about "power metal", are we saying "metal", with the addition of...............something? To me, that added thing is a progressive influence (to me Stratovarius in particular certainly is at least a little progressive) or in the case of Symphony X a heavy classical influence. I realize that power metal and prog are different, but wouldn't everyone agree that power metal is prog influenced? (Isn't that why most of us like both?) Aww hell..... now I'm really confused. :-) Later, - Joe D. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 13:03:24 -0400 (EDT) From: Damon Fibraio To: Dream Theater Mailing list Subject: a personal request Message-ID: A few weeks ago, a guy looking for a keyboard player from a NY-based prog rock band with October in the title and I were in touch. I went to Florida, and have had a death in the family and the loss of a Girlfriend and several other serious problems that have affected my ability to get in touch with this guy again. If you are that guy and still need a keyboardist, please email me. I didn't lose interest, I got your tape, and I need to play. -- Damon Fibraio, email_address_removed Keyboardist, Vocalist, musical slut "One likes to believe in the freedom of music But glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity."--Rush, 1980 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 12:06:57 -0500 (CDT) From: Velasco Cisneros Manuel Bernardo To: email_address_removed Subject: FNM Message-ID: I want to know if Dream Theater has any musical influences from FNM, What do you think?

Does anyone else hear a distinct sameness >between Just Let Me Breathe and Tool's "AEnema"? I'm not usually a Tool >fan, but this one had my eyebrows narrowing involuntarily. :) I had to respond because that particular song may very well be my favorite song of this year and last year combined. I got used to listening to it all the time when I was downstate last summer and christmas, but up here in the north country they never play it. It really riles you up! And it's pretty funny too. The only connection I can think of stylistically would be the drum beat, which is kinda similar i guess. The drum intro for jlmb is sort of like the backround drums in AEnema. other then that, I never noticed a real strong similarity between the two. Subject-wise, they are very similar. Both about being basically fed up. Interesting concept. I think that will be my next album purchase. I need that song!

Subject: re: Micahel Fath Message-ID: He used to be the hot guitar teacher in DC about 7 years ago, I don't know what he has been up to since. I have his first CD and wasn't impressed. My guitar teacher at the time was a student of his and I thought my teachers songs were much better. Anyway, back then he played typcial instrumental guitar music...i.e Vinnie Moore, Yngwe, Tony McAlpine, etc... Does that mean you took lessons from Dan Leonard or Mike Bailey? :) Fath's a good technician, but his songs bore me. Quite the opposite of Morse, although I haven't heard Fath in 4-5 years... Everett wrote... Has anyone heard a confirmation on the May 5 date at Daytona's? I have a job interview in the area on the 4th and 5th!!! I might finally get to see them. Everyone please let me know if and when you hear this show as being confirmed. As far as I know, it is, and Jaxx might have them on the 4th. BTW, to whoever said they heard Daytona's was pretty cool, it isn't. The sound there sucks the left one - for the bands AND the fans. (having been in both positions...) I really hope that Jaxx gets the show they want - it's a far superior place to see a band like DT. Or any band, for that matter...

And MAN! Do they kick ass or what??!! I picked up Savatage's "Wake of Magellan", which I think is awesome after just 1 listen. Also, I picked up 2 jazz CDs: Chick Corea Electric Band's "Beneath the Mask" and the Dave Weckl Band's new release "Rhythm of the Soul". All 3 of these CDs are incredible, and I've listened to them each only once. I love Dave Weckl as a jazz drummer --> he can prob. blow away many rock drummers that I like. Beneath the Mask is my second favorite Chick Corea CD to Eye of the Beholder.

Just plain grow up. Need I remind you that MP subscribes to this list? Calling him immature? "Hey MP, you suck, grow up, would ya??? And practice more, my grandmother could play more polyrhythms" : ) You think he would hang around if we were a bunch of jerk-offs? (Was that proper use of a hyphan?) And if you are talking about Graham pointing his finger and chanting "nah nah na poo poo", you need to spend more time reading and less time posting. That is the most sarcastic sob Ive ever run across. ; ) It isnt the new people that tick me off. It's the new people that come in and after reading five jams think they have the system licked that get my panties in a bunch. There is more to this list than a bunch of loonies posting over and over about the same shit. There is a community here. I never felt it before, but it is there if you will let yourself feel it. And it takes longer than 3 posts. Try three years. When I see someone come in here, stay for a week or two, flame away and then bail, I feel sorry for them because I think they have missed out on something special. So I challenge all the people that are sitting back and thinking "My god, these are the biggest Dream Theater fans in the world? I dont want to associate myself with them" to give this list a chance (if you can handle the 10 jams a day! : ). You will be infinitely surprised at the people that turn up, the experiences you will go through because of the list, and the knowledge you will attain. Its not every day that you get 1500 people sitting in a large room talking about almost the same thing.

Did I pick >the wrong disc to start with? Are "Beware of Darkness" and "The Kindness >of Strangers" better sounding discs? I agree with you on this. I am the one who do not like Spock's Beard after listening to The Light and Beware of Darkness. The reason is I feel that Spock's sounds too much like Yes (especially the bass part) with metal influence. And I think Neal's singing is a bit annoying in some tracks. Some of their long songs do not have a reason to be that long. But this is just my opinion.

I have recently gotten into them a great deal. My fave album is the Wall (album that got me into Pink Floyd). Then I would have to say Dark Side Of The Moon, followed by Animals (very good album), Wish You Were Here, and Meddle. On a related note, fans of Pink Floyd should check out Porcupine Tree. They a UK band with definite Pink Floyd influences, yet original. I like to think of them as a Pink Floyd of the 90's. OK, on to the tabs. I was looking for drum tabs in general on the net, and lo and behold the first site I find (amazingly!) has Dream Theater tabs! Anyway, check em out for yourselves here: http://meded.med.uci.edu/~nprakash/trans.html There are some Dave Matthews, Metallica, and Stone Temple Pilots on the too. Have fun!
