Message-ID: Hello more experienced 'Jammers, I will be attempting to interface with OFB members after the Daytona's show tomorrow night. What is the best way to go about this, without being a jerk/nuisance/a-hole/etc.? This is a sincere question, and I would appreciate genuine responses. Just want a couple of sigs, and pictures, if possible, with the guys. Thank you for your kind consideration, and please be nice to others. :~) Kez P.S. First show of the return to the states. Any guesses on set changes? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 May 1998 11:01:55 -0400 From: "Christopher R. Merlo" To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Rush stuff Message-ID: Mauricio Martinez Villarreal graced my inbox with: > Anybody knows why in hell Neil Peart is never credited to write some of > the music for sung-Rush songs? I think it's maybe an arrangement they > made up when they were starting.....because i dont think that Lifeson and > Lee tell Peart what to do all the time....Peart wouldnt be Peart on drums > if that was true. It's not a matter of Ged and Alex "telling Neil what to do." It's simply the way they write. Ged and Alex go into one room and write music. Neil goes into another room with a small drumkit (I guess to fuck around on to battle writer's block) and writes lyrics. Then they get together and put it all together. > Check out some VH tabs, do you really think that everybody in VH had some > musical input in songs like Eruption or 316? Don't think so! No, that was a deal the band made early on, so that they could all share in the royalties.

Someone mentioned before that playing fast is important, I must admit taht I do not agree with it completely. No, I don't mean that one should always play whole notes or something like that, but sometimes the bassline just becomes more emotionous (is that the right word?) when it doesn't even include fast passages all over the neck. Listen to some Yes (I can't remember the names of the songs) and you'll get what I mean, or PF (early) - that's just awesome. Another thing is the pick -to use it or not? Somebody said taht he would fire the bassist if he only starts playing with a pick, but, hey, it must be admitted that if you're gonna play some Metallica-linke crap you'll most definetely need a pick. With the guitarist in my band I have got just the opposite problem - he forces me to use a pick, cause when i play with my fingers I can play more notes per second than he does and that starts to bother him. :-) As it goes to choosing the instrument, I must say that I am very surprised taht a man who once tried bass can forget about it and start playing something else. For me BASS is just the right thing - this was the instrument I started with, I don't know why - there was some magic about it. And let all the darn guitarists who say that playing the bass is easier f*ck off - playing bass is not easier at all!!! For those interested - I also play the guitar, the keys and the drums a bit. But I only started paying these instruments in order to be able to explain my ideas to other band-mates. And the main point - what makes a bassist good. As I said it's not necessarily speed, though it's important as well. IMO the thing that makes a bass player good is when he can figure out what type of a bassline a certain songs requires - it can be the funky shredding or the simple quarter-noted bassline, or a melodic bassline in the vein of Geddy Lee, or some Jaco-like shredding, or guitar dubbing lines like JM does. In this connection I can just praise Stu Hamm - the man knows what he should play!!! His solo albums feature extremely technical lines, but when he starts playing with the shredders like Satch or Marty Friedman he knows his place as well - just simple lines. In this case his work with SyVy stands out - it features both - excellent rhythm section and some tap-work (like in Blue Powder). Ahh... Just can't wait to hear what he did with Frank Gambale on their new project... ..Bash me for using a pick sometimes now... :-) Pete ========================================================== The maintainer of the YtseJamCD Project site: http://www.glasnet.ru/~tatisch/Ytze mirror: http://tripod.members.com/~Pete339 Home: http://www.web4free.com/Bass_p IRC: Hammman ICQ:425-8962 =========================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 May 1998 18:40:00 +0200 From: Matej Grginic To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: van halen Message-ID: >I agree 100%, the Sydney gig was awesome, the best gig I have seen. >Gary was great and won me over, both as a frontman and singer surprised >me with how good he was. > >graham With graham u never know ;) It might be sarcasm hehe (joke bud, don`t jump all over me) One question, I heard they played their older material mostly so far on this tour.

Shields" To: email_address_removed Subject: My Dilemma Message-ID: I've got a problem here. I get my DT tix for San Antonio in the mail on saturday, and that same day my parents say that we might be going out to CA to visit my brother and his wife (it's memorial day weekend). The trip isn't set in stone yet (i think) so I might not have a problem if we end up not going anyway. There's no way I'm going to miss DT if i can help it, but I haven't seen my brother since Thanksgiving, and they've moved into a new house in a new town and it's a big ol' deal, and a trip would be great before summer school starts but I can't miss DT, especially with the tickets in my hands. But either way, I'm going to feel bad for missing the one I missed... James C.

I expected them to >concentrate on III stuff I haven't seen the MTV special yet, so I don't know which songs were cut out, but the complete set list for the Sydney show had five songs from the new album (not including "Dirty Water Dog" which appears to have been dropped, at least temporarily). Definitely not a lot, but it's not too poorly represented. I hope that "Once," at least, is played on the upcoming US dates, especially since AVH mentioned that in an interview regarding stage visuals. >And why only one Van Hagar song? What the fuck? They're >practically ignoring 11 years of great music. And it's not like Gary can't >pull them off. He sounded awesome on "Why Can't This Be Love." How about >"Dreams," or "When It's Love?" Both of those songs were played at the concert. I guess they weren't broadcast. As an aside, I'm surprised how impressed/satisfied with the "new Van Halen" most of you seem to be, especially compared with those on the alt.music.van-halen newsgroup. >Hey Jeff, you should check your albums: Is this somebody actually responding to something I posted?

Gee, I wasn't being sarcastic, was I? I was DEAD SERIOUS. It looks like someone needs to pay more attention to the context of what I was responding to. >The most democratic band being >Queen as every member of the band had hits with songs they had written. . . . which is one of the things I love about Queen. >You need to tell me how many credits has Joey Kramer in Aerosmith whole >career.

She's very jazz-based in her playing, and she's fast, clean, creative, and talented. If you want a less complex female guitarist/band, check out Drain s.t.h. Flavia is a good guitarist--very solid, although she doesn't solo much. Veruca Salt's solos are decent, but not very creative (basically repeating the main musical theme with some variations). On another related note, I just got my new bridge installed (wilkinson), and it's really sweet. I've been having fun learning tons of new material. Hopefully, as it seems to be doing, my playing will grow as a result.... Anyone have any recommendations on places I can learn some speed exercises? Anyway, sorry I'm so behind...trying to study for finals and write a 25-page paper....

I guess all good things come to an end but I just kind of >wish that >Metallica had simply stopped or at least kept up the momentum from their >earlier works. I hate to have my first post to the list be on the Metallica topic, but there seems to be a common misconception in all of these posts regarding Load and ReLoad. The assumption seems to be that since they've done two albums of this less than sterling material, this is their new style forever. Actually Load and Reload are more or less one album. They were recorded in the same session, and rather than releasing a double album they split it up and released two seperate albums. I don't know why, maybe there was more money it for them or something. Like the general says in Dr Strangelove, I don't think it's quite fair to condemn the whole program because of a single slip up. And am I the only one who found it amusing that after saying how glad he was that Metallica is changing James followed it up by saying he was going to a Metallica concert because he wanted to hear their old stuff? Anyhow I think I'll give Metallica one more shot before I give up on them.

Thanks, Dan >> I believe Full On the Mouth is opening for this whole leg of the tour(might be wrong, though). Go to www.fullonthemouth.com for the stuff. The game was called Necromonicon, and you can download the MP3's from a site that is linked to UACM. Go here: http://www.prognosis.com/dream/main.htm and then link to Sounds, and then to Tom Feiner's DT page.
