Who knows anything about this concert ? do all three bands have equal billing, or does one(ours) open for the other two? Also, how much are tickets, and where in LI is jones beach, is it off the LIE and if so which exit, blah blah blah? And when in august is it? >it was beautiful. I suppose my aversion to Celine Dion clouded >my judgment. Enough Celine Dion comments for now. Perhaps your aversion stems from the fact that listening to Celine Dion for extended periods has the same effect as ramming a staple gun through one's eardrums. You need to have bionic ears to listen to that titanic song. When she sings, I can actually hear dogs' heads exploding down the block. josh ........................ mailto: email_address_removed Check out Another Page at www.j51.com/~mrasiel.

Don't worry about the moshing, because if it's anything like last time at HoB, there will be none. If people try, we shall have to kick their ass. Correct me if I'm wrong, but attempting to absorb the intracies of Myung's bass wizardry is complicated by having some asshole coming at you elbow-first at 20mph. IMHO, moshing of the usual brainless, full-contact variety simply has no place at a DT concert. p. -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. Paul T. Fini U.C.

I guess I am still adapting to the idea that a prog >song can be in 4/4 all the way through. Here's an idea. Who thinks that >they can cut New Millennium into a radio single? You're on, Damon... (grin!) ..when I heard your challenge (^_^), I decided to take matters into my own hands. I went through and edited a little over 3 minutes off of NM, and came up with a song that's as radio-friendly as I can get it. Most of the cuts sound seamless, but some lack the shine of a professional studio. Cest la vie. The finished product weighs in at a scant 4:42, and cuts 1x thru the New Millennium pre chorus, and the last time thru the I Got This Feeling chorus. It also cuts out a lot of the proggy stuff, but this is to be radio friendly, you understand! It seems a little choppy (duh!), and I prolly could do better if I give it another go, but I wanted to get something out there in a timely fashion. Actually, I'm pretty proud of some of the more subtle aspects of the job I did, like integrating the beginning of the first verse with the beginning of that riff (the first time thru without the vocals, but with the cymbal crash). Anyways, enough about the obviously cool job I did (chuckle)... ..I'm encoding it to .mp3 now (128kbps, high-accuracy), and placing it on my web page: http://thanatos.uoregon.edu/~ryoga/newmill.mp3 It should be there by 8:00pm PST. I'd like to hear other edits.

No offense intended... Damon Fibraio writes: > >Well, the reason why I don't think PS is prog is this. The end of the >song >sounds so much like Black album Metalica. Not that this is bad, but To ease into this debate, let me say I agree completely with Damon. The 'Heavy Ending' (tm), not including the solos, is the best song Metallica never wrote. That's why I about died laughing when they put in a couple of bars of "Enter Sandman" last night! Does humor belong in music...? >there is really nothing proggy to my ears about the solos This is where I start to disagree. While not John P.'s most spectacular solo, this solo displays a level of technical proficiency and the ability to "play for the song" far and above 99% of what is in the pop-hard-rock field. >or the song itself. in Again, I disagree. The mellow first-half of the song gives us a beautiful, yet haunting melody, played (or sung) over top of a subtlely shifting rhythm. To go one step further, this subtlely shifting rhythm is not in 4/4, the yardstick of Prog (tm) you allude to later. The over-driven end of the song is (again, in my opinion), the perfect resolution of the tension built by the mellow first-half. Can something be mellow and still create/build tension? I think this is proof-positive. >fact, I thought it would make a great single. Still do. I agree, if you could just get radio stations to play it, lengthen people's attention spans to take in the whole picture, to appreciate the whole wild ride that is PS. I think the ending would win over a lot of standard hard rock listening people. But I think the ending is nothing without the the first half. >It doesn't sound >anything like Metropolis, TTT, or any of those songs. And I think that's great! I don't want another I&W. Progress, evolution, growth, whatever you want to call it. I'm glad that I&W isn't just a better-recorded WDADU, and that Awake isn't just I&W with 7-string guitars. > In fact, PMU is not really prog either. Disagree, 100% man. Time signature changes, challenging to play/sing, challenging to listen to, song longer than radio-imposed 3 minutes. What more do you want? >I guess I am still adapting to the idea that a prog >song can be in 4/4 all the way through. For a particular song to be 4/4 throughout, and be considered "prog", would be tough. But stack it up against the artist's body of work, and see where it fits. >Here's an idea. Who thinks that >they can cut New Millennium into a radio single? Aaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!! ABORTION!! No sir, I don't have time to fully appreciate the Mona Lisa. Can you just photocopy the lips for me? That's all it's really about anyways, isn't it? >"One likes to believe in the freedom of music >But glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of >integrity."--Rush, 1980 I couldn't have said it better myself. I guess "prog"-rock for me is something of a rock-oriented nature, but typically showcasing more complicated song structure, instrumentation, performance. I also view an artist's body of work as a whole, not wishing to segregate individual songs as befitting of the artist or not...I either like them or I don't. PS is not my favorite song from FII, probably around #6. While I'm pulling on my Asbestos undergarments, let me add that I'm not saying that Damon's wrong. It's his opinion. These are my opinions, and one of them happens to be that I find Damon's yardstick of Proginess to be a couple of inches short...
