Is the distinction what the person listened to growing up? what separates a rock keyboardist from a prog keyboardist anyway? i'm not a musician, but i would the difference between the two is simply a matter of what the sound and relative complexity. i would list kevin, mark kelly (especially marillion's early stuff), keith emerson (duh), rick wakeman, tony banks (before steve hackett left), sometimes rick wright as prog. rock keys would be geddy lee, a lot of rick wright, banks after WaW, ray manzarek, tony kaye, and most keyboardists in less progish bands. but that's just my opinion.

Nicky Lemons is da man. Message-ID: <000a01bdc1d4$40849460$240d84d0@korgx3> > I know this is suck a bad thread, talking about Dream Theater members on a Dream Theater mailing list, who'd ever have imagined such a >thing!? Yah, but the Kevin vs. Derek thread is a moot debate. IT IS TRASH! I WOULD PUT IT IN A TRASH CAN! It's about as retarded as the "If James accidentally sucked down his uvula and suffocated, who would be the best replacement for him?" So, if you're not happy with the current line-up of DT, do us all (or at least me) a favor and GO FUCK YOURSELF! For the most part, though, as these Derek vs. Kevin threads pop up here quarterly, we have been able to have a more civilized debate over the whole issue, but Good King Wencesles people... This debate has been going on for almost four years now. It's getting old. Good King Wencesles looked down on the feast of Eden and laughed at the poor wretched serfs who had nary a bite to fill their grumbling bellies. Abruptly he ordered one to be sacked, eviscerated, and roasted to feed the rest of the starving masses. Several more were mercilessly consumed by the wayfaring vagabonds, and much winter fuel was required for the festive gathering which alluded to cannibalism becoming passe for the holidays. Wencesles truly WAS a Good King. Love your fellow man, then eat him. YOU GO TO HELL! YOU GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE! --KorgX3 needs sleep. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Aug 1998 01:29:54 -0700 From: "Alex Smith" To: "YTSEJAM" Subject: FII Message-ID: <01bdc1dd$8dcd0a00$message_id_removed> ok. Marillion's _Seasons End_ finally "clicked" for me today. wow, i never thought i'd like any of the stuff Hogarth has done, given my allegiance to Grand Master Fish. anyway, i think i'm gonna try that out on the runt of my DT collection, Falling into Infinity. Except for HK/LitS, I've never been able to get into that album at all. But, hell, Awake took a while to click for me too, so I guess it's worth a sort. I'm gonna FORCE myself to listen to the whole thing now, and I'll get back to you if I don't die from either atrophication or my brain exploding.

Hoit" To: "'Ytsejam'" Subject: Buckethead Message-ID: Wow. I just got done seeing the most amazing display of guitar histrionics ever. This guy is amazing. He plays with a white mask over his face and a bucket on his head. Tonight it was a KFC bucket. Imagine this, then see him playing with his left hand, while simultaneously doing nun-chucks with his right hand. Then he would take off his guitar and do the Robot to his prerecorded back-up music. If you've heard his latest cd, Colma, that's nothing. This guy is a shred beast. Imagine an hour long Petrucci solo and that might meaure up. Maybe. All I can say is go see him. If you don't like it I'll give you your money back. The only bad thing is that he's touring with John Taylor of Duran Duran fame. Other than the D2 and Power Station tunes, it wasn't that great. He had a sax/flute player who was pretty good, though. Also the opening guy sucked ass. Some guy in a black/silver Evel Knevel jumpsuit karaokeing songs about Star Wars and dog shit. Avoid him like the plauge. trevor ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Aug 1998 08:17:38 -0400 From: Adriana Califano To: email_address_removed Subject: WIZARDS NEW SITE Message-ID: Hi people ...

I thought I was the only one who remembered those! cool! Your not the only one who remembers them... In fact, I found the address of Larry Kenney on one of the fan pages. He's the guy that did the voice of Lion-O and Bluegrass from "Silverhawks". He now does voices for the DOn Imus show. Lemme know if you want his e-mail address...he responded to both my e-mails quickly and nicely - seems like a pretty cool guy. Oh, and that tall chick on "Viva Variety" - the former Mrs. Laupin....

I can't take it out of the VCR. It's incredible how much talent is on this one tape. It contains highlights from the NAMM Festival in 1997. The first drummer on the video was Virgil Donati, he's the reason I bought it, I wanted to watch him play. If you thought his playing sounds incredible, you should see him play - the man lives for cross-sticking. I've said this before and I'll say it again, his feet are faster than most people's hands. He actually set his drumset up backwards and showed the crowd his foot technique. Later, Tony Royster, Jr. came out, that boy tore the f*cking drums up. Makes me want to take up harmonica. Then my second favorite came out, Horacio 'El Negro' Hernandez with John Patitutti. These guys kicked major ass. Others on the video were The Percussion Originators Ensemble, John Tempesta, Steve Gadd and Giovanni Hidalgo, Bill Stewart and his Band, Paul Wertico, Jack DeJohnette and Steve Ferrone. This video was once again, incredible. A must for any drummer. Later jammers. Kevin Rackley Official Soul Reason Website http://members.aol.com/rackleyk/ Currently in the car's changer: 1.)

When exactly did he > play live with Genesis?? After he left Yes and before he entered KC?? I beg your pardon if an answer has already been posted. Actually, WoP is KC's second album. LTiA was the start of the second incarnation of Crimson with John Wetton (Uriah Heep, Asia, &c). Bruford joined Genesis for their 76 tour supporting Trick of the Tail. He can be heard on the remastered version of Three Sides Live (the Fourth Side) and on Seconds Out (both the original and remastered version). Being a HAYuge Genesis fan, I am super pissed at *radio* in general. It annoys me how radio ignores fantastic bands and plays Evercrap. I just hope someday I motivate myself to become a DJ and play "real" music for the world and the program directors be damned. WARW in DC used to be pretty good about playing a real selection and now they've gone into a much more limited playlist. Sorry for the rant, but one can get fucki*g pissed so easily. ;) NP: Percy Grainger--Irish Tune from County Derry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul's thought for the Month: Hey Hey, My My, Rock-n-roll will never Die! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Aug 1998 10:09:14 -0400 From: Pat Daugherty To: Dream Theater Mailing List Subject: crimson/dt shows Message-ID: I have Larks.... and while the music is great and I like John Wetton's voice, the quality of the cd really SUCKS. I have to turn the volume way up to hear some parts then when the louder parts come up I go deaf. Are the rest of the early cds the same way? Larks is unlistenable in my car and barely at home. All those going to DT/ELP/DP, be sure to give a review of all the bands. Unfortunately the tour is boycotting the DC/Baltimore area for some unknown reason.

But I write this hoping Mike hears. I was looking through my DT collection and realized that there's one gapping hole in it- the singles! And I unfortunately realized a lot of songs/b-sides were only released as singles. I highly regret never hearing the studio version of "to live forever" (though I have the one on subconscious and the live in tokyo video), "eve," or "the way it used to be." So here's me reqeusting, imploring, begging DT to put out a B-sides album or EP. I am dying to hear these songs, and I'm sure it won't be too much to compile them all on a CD. Another thought- we've all heard rumors about Metropolis Part 2- why not throw the B-sides on an EP with that, kinda like ACOS w/ the uncovered stuff. Just my thoughts.

I've got all the singles, and have all of DT's B-Sides (except for the japanese FII ones, I'm still kicking myself for that), but I never listen to them. They feel so priceless and valuable to me i hate to even play them for fear of scratching them and ruining them forever. My friend already did that to his (his Lie single, doh!). If I could get a collection of all their B-Sides and official FII demos, I'd be the happiest keyboard on the planet.
