Without them, I bet you anything prog-metal wouldn't have been created. Sure, Queensryche was a more direct influence, but Metallica is the grand-daddy of the whole thing. - I think MAIDEN may be an even bigger influence in prog circles, at least to the prog-metal area, as oppossed to the more melodic progressive stuff (Enchant, Rush, etc) Scott http://www.mindspring.com/~ninja ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Aug 1998 17:35:21 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: jones beach Message-ID: the jones beach show was the first time i've ever seen dream theater and was of the opinion that portnoy was NOT the best drummer of the evening. yes, dt kicked ass. even with a short set. the intermingling of "have a cigar" and "enter sandman" were hysterical and amazing, because they found the 2 songs "peruvian skies" was meant to cop off. ;-) yes, they sounded great. labrie was probably the best of the singers. yes, portnoy reamed my ass with his drum playing (derek was watching- i swear!), but he still wasn't the best drummer. nor could i say dt was the best band of the night. that distinction (and the best drummer of the night prize) would clearly have to go to elp. it is IMMENSLY saddening that my first time seeing elp happens to be well after their hey-day- greg lake, whose 70s voice i LOVED, just can't hit them like he used to. i'm not saying it to diss him, but it was just sad. they looked so.....OLD. "knife edge" was transcribed into a totally different key for greg....THAT was the sad part. but we have to remember the other two geriatric musicians. the "e" and the "p" segments of the band. e and p can still play, and with much ferocity, might i add. ironically, i was cleaning out some bookshelves of mine, and i came across the keyboard magazine with him on the cover and the title "will emerson ever play again?" looming over him. this was around the time he had some sort of career-threatening arm surgery to repair nerve damage, and things weren't looking good back in april of '94. well, not only was he able to play again, he played like a motherfucker (doesn't he look so much like nick nolte?). yeah, he went apeshit, and while his playing wasn't without its sloppiness, he showed those of us in attendance that he'd never be relegated to sucking cock for beer money- boy will be till his nutsacs fall off. as for the p-factor in this band....mr. p., who is the baby of the group at 48, was just monstrous. played fabulously most of the time, and did a drum solo that left me and those with me with dropped-jaws. carl palmer made deep purple and dt look like the spice girls and backstreet boys. he did it single-handedly, too. and oh.....was that the strains of "tarkus" i heard while i was unconscious in a pool of drool and semen? oh yes....they played all of that bleeding song. not just the 9 minute medley on it you'dhear on "live at royal albert hall", but the whole thing. god, that was sweet. so let's see....i saw reid/wimbish/calhoun tear it up for 2 nights (yes, i made it to the second night, and again it rocked), i got to see dt again, and i saw elp do "tarkus". coupled with an awesome tori show and a frightening mike watt set, in the words of ice cube, "i gots to say, today was a good day." wild koba ************************************************************************ david y. kobayashi new york law school email_address_removed "i bring truth and understanding. i bring wit and wisdom fair- precious gifts beyond compare." -n. peart ************************************************************************ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Aug 1998 14:57:38 -0700 (PDT) From: Matt Johnston To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 4160 Message-ID: On Mon, 10 Aug 1998, Dr. Scott Mosher wrote: > >- I think MAIDEN may be an even bigger influence in prog circles, at least to the prog-metal >area, as oppossed to the more melodic progressive stuff (Enchant, Rush, etc) True, true. Number of the Beast came out in '82, right? But none of the tracks did the whole 8 minute jig until KEA (4HM, specifically). And then Met goes and does an 8-minute instrumental on the next album? RTL through AJFA were quite progressive, though not as insane as DT. (I'm terming progressive as containing some virtuosity, some time-sig changes, the obligitory instrumental with a vague-but-cool name, epic track length, poetic lyrics, and tightness in composition. I believe Met. from RTL through AJFA fits this well, as much as Fates from that time period) Maiden progressed a little -- Piece of Mind had Quest For Fire (with begins with the most hilarious anachronism I'd heard in a while -- turned me off to the song, tho), and Powerslave had Powerslave and Rime (Rime being their most progressive song). However, after 1984, things didn't change any. No big time-sig things, No sound changes, not even much of an atmosphere change. Met, from RTL through AJFA, changed their atmosphere from album to album, chenged their sound, refined it, and brought it to it's pinnacle, and then to its most indulgent (one song under 6 minutes, and how many of 8 in AJFA?). Really, they had reached critical mass, and with that in mind, I can forgive the last 3 albums (I actually dig the Load albums in a casual manner, if only for their longer tracks). I think every metal band listened to Maiden, then got their balls ripped off by KEA, then said, "you know, this new wave of metal is gonna kick ass!" While a lot of bands stayed 4/4 and tried to refine their balls-n-chunk, Met was going with different time sigs, deepr subject matter, slicker lyrics and production, and generally becoming the Yes of 80's American metal (Fates almost gets that title, but they weren't big enough) Megadeth is a good example of a Met-styled band that didn't do the epic thing. their stuff's still good, but it seems a little simplistic compared to vintage Met. Or is Met a good example of a Deth-styled band that didn't keep to the 5-minute song length? Who knows. I do think that Met influenced prog-metal a little more than Maiden only because on their body of work (where maiden has 3 or 4 prog songs, Met has upwards of 10 or 12 rather progressive songs) and freshness (at the time). By 1986, Maiden had already peaked, and Met was just peaking. By 1988, Maiden was declining heavily, and Met was at their most indulgent. The 90's bring new questions, new solutions to be found. Met changes radically, DT bursts onto the scene, disappears, reappears, etc. Fates becomes more than a better-than-Maiden clone, and the DT-influenced bands appear. I'd say DT is the Maiden of 90's prog metal... ^_^ --Matt --------------------------------------------------------------------- "..." --James LaBrie, "Hell's Kitchen" --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Aug 98 15:03:46 -0000 From: Jennifer To: "Ytsejam" Subject: Tesla (NDTC) Message-ID: Tim asked: > Are there any Tesla fans out there?

Just a thought. I wondered what the hell TAMP and AL were doing on a DT album when FII came out, but I've come to like both songs after listening to them lots of times. Repetition seems to work for me, but hey, this is all just my opinion on the matter, and music is and always will be a very subjective one.
