Under A Glass Moon squeaked in at #98. I guess a few jammers sent in their cards! To bad Voices didn't make it. (At least that's one of the others I voted for) Thanks to the guy that posted the Paul Gilbert clinic dates. I went to the show last Saturday - freaking incredible! Be sure to check him out if he comes to a town near you. He played everything from RacerX to Spice Girls complete with Zep solos and Sabbath riffs.

Message-ID: Howdy folks, Thought I might share some of my favorite keyboard solos, so here goes... 1) Jens Johansson..."Krakatau" off the Odyssey album by Rising Force. This solo still destroys me everytime I hear it (anything off the Johansson Bros releases as well) :) 2) Tony MacAlpine... "Autumn Lords" off his Maximum Security album 3) Kevin Moore... "Only A Matter Of Time" off When Dream And Day Unite 4) Anything by Michel Camilo 5) Jens Johansson... at the beginning of the "Live In Japan '85" video with Rising Force :) Peace, -MattG. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Jul 1998 11:58:17 -0700 (PDT) From: Ernesto Schnack To: email_address_removed Subject: Buh-ka-lee Message-ID: > Okay, to get to the point.

Any help is greatly > appreciated. 1) As far as showing your technique, worry more about phrasing, articulation and tone rather than speed. Thats what they're looking for. 2) Play jazz:) Although they're trying to promote Berklee as a school for all contemporary music, the fact is that most teachers and students here play jazz, so this still is and always has been, mainly a jazz school. Not that you cant get a scholarship without playing jazz; I know people who have, but you are more likely to if you do, since most teachers here have their ears attuned to that style, and it's phrasing, sound, etc.. hope that helps, Ern _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Question: I keep asking myself this question for some time. FII is by far the > most commercial album of DT and DT wanted to attract a new fanbase. So > why did they release only one single off FII? Answer: Another concern that both the fans and the band had was that their longer songs wouldn't be "radio-friendly" enough. But just recently, the Tool song "Eulogy" was released, and other than blipping the swears the song is unedited. So what we have is a 9 minute song that is (around here anyway) in fairly heavy rotation. And don't forget that Tool is not really an "established" band, Aenima is essentially their "breakout" album. Just goes to show that it *is* possible to thumb your nose at the system, and still be successful within it. Just wish DT's label was willing to take risks like that. My Answer: I share a similar opinion, but I must admit that E/W sucks ass. The promotion that they have done for other bands has been superb, but for Dream Theater; it's a little bit below average. I however, feel firmly that a musical revolution is in the air. It happened in 1991 and it seems; that ever 7-10 years music evolves. Some of the most talented music was made and performed during the 80's, despite the image that it brought with it. The 90's stands for shit. I mean that from a mainstream perspective. So what does all this mean? Simply stated, the music industry is coming around. Bands like Big Wreck, Creed and even Matchbox 20 are talented. The rotation on the radio stations are big with these bands. You hardly hear bands like Nirvana and Hole on the radio anymore, why? because they suck and people and the music industry is smartening up. I totally believe that the music industry will start promoting bands like DT and Rush etc. a lot more than before. You will see them come through, I just think that FII was a little premature for the industry's "coming out".

When the signature is F# Major, E is the 7th, so it needs to be sharped. Other way, more technical: in key signatures with sharps, the roots follow the cycle of the 5th's, and the sharps are added following the cycle of the 4th's. So when you get to the root F# (by the sequence C, G, D, A, E, B, F#), the sharps are added in this sequence on the score, starting from root G: F#, C#, G#, D#, A# and... E#. It can't help if you use the Gb signature instead... will be a Cb there... But that's another story... Seeya...

Is it you playing or is it midi? Either way, it rocks, cause if you did do it with midi, you would have had to arrange it yourself, and the arrangement is wonderful. You are also a very talented keyboardist if you did play it yourself.

It is my band's first public appearance, and we need all the prog fans we can get. We are ages 15 - 17. A "Rush" trio, it includes me on guitar, a bassist, and a drummer. Songs that will be performed include some Dream Theater, Rush Pink Floyd, as well as a suprise for any King Crimson fans, and an even bigger suprise for any Rush fans. Also, of course, our originals will be played. If we get enough Jammers to come down, I'll dedicate the performance to you ;-) If any of you are interested, please E-Mail me privately, and I will give you more info, as well as the set list if you want me to spoil the suprise. Some RA demos are avalible, albiet shoddy quality, but we are recording new ones on a 4 track as soon as possible. The date is August 5th, and Id really appriciate it if anyone avalible to show does. Thanks.

Message-ID: First post- hey. Getting a little bit tired of seeing so many sketchy explanations about the use of the "uncommon" notes like E#, B#, Fb, Cb, blah, blah. These are "enharmonic equivalents" of the notes F, C, E, B, blah, and blah. If you look at some fairly common chords, they pop up all over the place. The note E# is everywhere- if you make it a chord's 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, etc. you'll find in the chords: C#maj, Aaug, A7#5, F#maj7, F#min(maj7), D#maj9, D#6/9, D#add9, D7#9, Bmaj7#11....UGH!! The other funky notes work into chords in the same way. Forget key signatures and scales- chords rule, kids!! Final thoughts- ignore the classical method of learning theory unless you powder your wig and worry about finding a cellist to support your wussy-ass basso continuo figured bass using butt! Just get rid of all books that mention "half-diminished chords"!!! And the melodic minor scale is NOT natural minor descending....

This would be one of the worst things that could happen to everybody invovled. Dream Theater would be crushed, not knowing where to continue or disband. The label would have lost a good bit of money (not tons relativly), and the fans would have there thumbs up there butts. If Fates Warning releases a double disc, live, cd for Metal Blade/RED/SONY whatever and it sells 10,000 copies it would be, quite possibly, the best seller that label has ever seen. Fates would get bumped up a label or two by the SONY big wigs, more and more money would be pushed into promotions, and Kevin Moore would, quite possibly, join the band full time. Just my thoughts....and to echo the fact that in my mind, a double from Fates would not be a bad idea, an even if it sells 5,000 copies the band makes money.....no promtions cost, no tour costs, no promo discs sent out, no worring about sending that single to radio,.....all that shit. later....andy Andrew Miller email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Jul 1998 22:10:11 -0700 From: Markus Stahl To: email_address_removed Subject: Cool Rush Sighting...

I went to see "There's Something About Mary" tonight with my wife(tottaly funny movie BTW) and they showed a trailer for the new Adam Sandler movie "The WaterBoy", well anyway I was watching the trailer when all of a sudden I hear this familiar tune playing in the background......It was Tom Sawyer. It was played through the whole thing(about 1.5 minutes). I just thought it was cool....Kinda wierd hearing one of your favorite bands being played in a public place like that. -mark ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 4089 **************************
