You might try downloading the Media Wizard.(use www.download.com to find it) It's a really nice programm for playing all audio and video-files. It also features convertion from CD-track to MP3 or WAV and conversion from WAV to MP3 and vice versa. Only one minor problem: you can use this shareware-version for no longer than 20 days. Does anyone know how to crack it?? Please male me if you know. Oh yeah, my apologies to the people who do put 'correct' transcriptions for bass on the net. Last time I didn't look good enough. Maybe there will come some transcriptions of my own, if they are approved by the manager of the UACM-site.

"THE UNKNOWN KICKASS SONG" I thought that they had never recorded a demo of Metropolis II. If that's correct, then whoever performed this did a damn good job of imitating Dream Theater! Specifically, the guitar and drums remind me *a lot* of John and Mike. I can't get a feel for the keyboards or the If it *is* actually Dream Theater, it sounds too disorganized for my taste, but I'm sure that will change as time goes on. (It did for A Change of Seasons.) Pretty creative writing, and amazing performances as usual. Could this be part of the Explorers Club CD? Has anyone out there heard both the Explorers Club CD and this new song? CREED I saw them in concert last week, and thought that they put on a fairly good show. If you're thinking about seeing them live, do so. (On the other hand, the opening acts -- The Ghandarvas and Fuel -- SUCKED. Next time I'll arrive late.) Specifically, every time I listen to them, the drumming stands out. I've heard "Torn" on the radio about five times today, and the drumming somewhat reminds me of Mike Portnoy's. (It may help that he uses some of the same equipment.) He seems to have a lot of talent and a very crisp, precise sound. Do any of the rest of you think this way? DRUM CLINICS I am unfamiliar with how these work, and I've got a few questions. They take place at the music stores which sponsor them, right? How early does one need to arrive to get a good seat? People SIT in CHAIRS at these things? And the staff allows you to record it? Even with a camcorder? How long does the clinic last? Does Mike stay and chat individually after the clinic? SAVING PRIVATE RYAN I agree with Mike Bahr. So far, this movie is the best of the year. I saw it last night and am probably going back tonight. I'm not a big fan of war movies, but this isn't just any war movie. It reminds me a lot of Empire of the Sun, the only other "war movie" I really liked. You should all go see this movie. Right now.

This week, Dream Theater is at the number one spot in their top 100 but I'm sure we can get it in the top 10, next week. ;-) The URL for their Dream Theater card is : http://www.ubl.com/ubl/cards/001/1/55.html Or even better, go to UACM and click on the big UBL logo on the left frame. From there, search for Dream Theater. If we manage to get Dream Theater up there, we could try it again when the live double album gets released... :) We could do the same thing with *other* websites to make sure Dream Theater gets the attention they deserve, once the album hits the stores.

Message-ID: What (if any) CD singles were released for FII and what was on them? Also, what other singles were there for Awake besides Lie with To Live Forever, Another Day, and Space Dye Vest, and The Silent Man with TTT remix and Eve? Secondly, can anyone name all the songs that didn't get on Falling Into Infinity? I remember Raise the Knife, The Way it Used to Be, Speak to Me, and Metropolis Pt. II, but I forgot the others.

Seems >like that would be a real boot to most bands bottom line. hahah, no pun intended i assume? Well, i would guess maybe time. It takes time to prepare alive cd - mike keeps mentioning that he's working on it all this time. in the case of a boot, it's some dude gathering the material, mixing, mastering, doing the graphics, getting the liners printed, and whatnot. He doesn't have normal band duties to fulfill. The band, on the other hand, does. :) And i doubt they want to spend their little free time preparing CDs. Anyways, that's my answer. Dunno if that's why they do it, but that's what i think.

Sure, it *seemed* realistic, > but since none of us were there, and I haven't heard about any > jammers being experts on that era >> the first battle that the Scots won was at Stirling Bridge. in the real battle, the bridge was important, since Wallace waited to attack the english until half their forces were over the bridge, thus ensuring he would face only half the english heavy cavalry instead of facing all of them. the bridge itself got clogged with dead and the rest of the english forces could not cross over, the Scots crushed the isolated part, and then routed the remainder. there was no bridge in the first battle in the movie. it was a fun movie, but i don't think it was really accurate. check my home page for a link to a very cool William Wallace page in Scotland that has info on the real Wallace, some other thigns in the movie that were hollywood-ized, and info on a very interesting new biography of Wallace. -- scott andrews biophysics research email_address_removed chemistry department ****************************************************************** --- http://www.people.virginia.edu/~sha3u --- info & CD reviews | Ibanez | soundclips of of major & underground | 7 string | my prog-thrash progressive/thrash metal | guitar info | metal band ATAXIA ****************************************************************** "metal isn't dead, it just smells funny." -Zappa paraphrase ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Jul 1998 00:10:34 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Ytsejam on solo piano Message-ID: Help!

I think that LTE can be summed up pretty well by two of our favorite things strung together, namely "musical masturbation." :) Now, the thing that sets LTE apart from your typical shred-session (read: Yngwie (sp?) Malmsteen guitars) is that to these four guys, the thing that pleases them the most is music with depth. Now, isn't that what MM really is? Playing what makes you happy? Granted, 3-Minute Warning may not be the most "deep" song ever written, but for a 30-minute off the cuff jam session, I think it's damn impressive. Not only from a technical standpoint, but even the fact that there ARE certainly distinguishable high and low emotional points. THAT's impressive. To anyone else who may argue that point with me, I suggest that you give a careful listen to Osmosis and Point of Grace, and even (gasp!) certain sections of Freedom of Speech. Oddly enough, I think that one of the most intense emotional parts of the song is right where the key solo leads out of the guitar shred part. Those of you who listen to that song non-stop (like me) know what I'm talking about. Just my 2 cents (maybe 3) on LTE.

Rivera" To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Learning DT/Extreme/MI Message-ID: The first DT song I ever learned to play (drums) was Another Day. Not too hard, except it took me a while to figure out that the sixteenth notes actually alternate between the ride and hi-hat. But the real kicker was learning "Surrounded." I remember trying to get the "pre-verse" down and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why I was getting off beat. it thought I was going crazy, until a friend and I figured out that it was actually in 9/8. That was only the first hurdle. Many an afternoon were spent dissecting the song in 30 second installments until I could nail the entire thing. What an accomplishment that was! I'll say this for learning to play DT: it makes you a better musician. Granted that anytime you learn a new song by any artist you're probably becoming a better player, but with DT you can actually FEEL yourself getting better. Or at least I can. Somebody wrote: > The second is Paul Geary from Extreme, pre-Mangini drummer. His drumming > was great, but still basic. As much as I loved Extreme, I always thought Paul sucked. Not that he was terrible, but I found his playing to be very unimaginative. Mangini, on the other hand, is a fucking monster and should have been with them from the start. I think this is why he left Extreme. I thought he left Extreme to get into the business end of the industry. Nuno actually sequenced the drum part on Cupids dead so that it was > the way he wanted it. This is probably why Extreme never played Cupid's dead > live while Paul was the drummer. I don't know about the sequencing on Cupid's Dead, but I know for a fact they played it live w/ Paul. In fact, I have a show they did in London on the III Sides tour where they not only play the song, but insert serveral horn jams, a drum solo, and some percussion accompaniment. The whole song lasts for about 17 minutes. > Staying on the topic of M.I., I remember someone telling me that M.I. opened > a school in the UK as well.

Message-ID: Created during a sick and twisted mood . . . I've noticed something in todays music. The true sad and depressing song has gone by the wayside. What ever hapened to them? I mean, when i was in the right mood, I could listen to songs like that for hours. I still do, as a matter of fact. yes, there are sad song sout today, but to me, they don't seem to have the same kind of emotion that they used to have. I don't know, i could be wrong. I'm only human, and god does that depress me. NP: Black Sabbath: Mob Rules Brachett needs his head examined Steven G.
