Better yet, does anyone have this yet? I do not have it yet but I'm looking for buying it. It is : SHOW ME WHAT YOU CAN DO with Vital guitarist Frank Gambale, Stu Hamm (Satriani's bassist) and Steve doing the drumming (street date: July 28). And for those who care to hear Terry Bozzio's, here is what my friend sent me: ----------------------- Of all people, Terry Bozzio joined the Knack, who played at Slim's last week. After two stupid opening bands, the Knack started at 11:30pm and played so many non-"My Sharona" songs, but I was pretty much able to tune them out to just listen to Terry bash his massive kit. The highlight of the evening was, (no, not My Sharona), was when they played "Not Fadeaway"-Grateful Dead tune and played an incredible drum solo over the beat in the background. Also, you might want to look for his new CD: Drawing the Circle: new music for solo drumset. I've never seen anyone with a big enough ego and talent to come up with a drum solo CD! 10 tracks of incredible drum work, melodic and polyrhythmical, with REALLY busy foot work he calls ostionado. ---------------------- I went to the record store to find "Drawing the Circle" but could not find it. Anyone has this album?

Long instrumental passages combined with catchy hooks. Sanity - Swedish prog metal ala DT, Savatage, Malmsteem mixed with a touch of AOR. Clockwork - most of you guys are already familiar with them. Their new album will be coming out in fall/winter and their debut CD "Search" will then go out of print. soon to be a collectors item. plus we have some other fun stuff too. so come by, listen to a few clips, maybe buy a CD or two. thanks for listening. -steve ============================================== DREG Records - New & Improved Progressive Rock http://www.hutman.com/dreg/ * Sanity * Clockwork * Equinox * Facade * * A Tribute to Kansas and more! * ============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Sep 1998 19:51:11 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: San Francisco Show Review Message-ID: In a message dated 9/2/98 4:07:26 PM Pacific Daylight Time, email_address_removed writes: > Every time I read an entire digest of posts, I walk away pissed and feeling > as > though I need to defend DT from their own fans. I'm sad to say that I totally agree with that. I hardly even read an entire digest, or anything close to that anymore.... I joined this list hoping to get a better idea of who DT is, and see what kind of people their fans are, and just to have some interesting discussions. To a point, I have gotten that, but it seems that people are a little too hard on others. Oh, well, everyone's a critic. ;-) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Sep 1998 02:00:44 +0200 From: Dushko To: email_address_removed Subject: Steve Stevens Message-ID: Er, I guess another NDTC. :) I just heard TWANG! which is kinda tribute to Hank Marvin with bunch of guitairsts: Ritchi Blackmoore, Tony Iommi, Brian May... Now, among others is Steve Stevens and what he plays is Spanish guitar style solos. Hearing this and remembering reading the reviews og BLS, where also it's mentioned that he plays Spanish style, I wonder about this guy! Personally I don't know him, I heard he played with Billy Idol. Is this true? I might now him then, but what's this pre-occupation with Spanish flamenco guitars? :) Is he famous for this stuff or it's just a phase he's in these days? :) Dushko -------- \|/ _____________________________o_o_______ <| \ / |> <| "Chuck!

I posted the original message... Mauricio's post was a counter-opinion. >Did you notice how MP's hair has absolutely nothing to do with his ability >as a drummer? (Just checking). Uhm, I never said it did. You ever look at an actor and say "oh, I hate his new hair style"? Same thing. Doesn't mean you dislike the actor, or think any less of his talents. >That would be appropriate since they are my favorite band and I don't >subscribe to the peculiar Ytsejammer practice of cutting, slicing and >dicing DT members and their music. In my post I complimented each of DT's individual performances (with the possible exception of Derek). By saying that Palmer put on (IMO) the more impressive performance was in no way cutting down MP. Both are awesome. >In my not so humble opinion, Palmer played tight but no way in no day is he >going to give MP a run for his money, My comments were specific to this show only (notice how my post said "Best drum performance" not "Best Drummer") - I haven't seen/heard enough of Palmer to say if he is "better". But obviously you have, so I stand corrected. The digs at the MP's and Derek's looks/attire? Argueably unnecessary. I felt distracted by them, so that took something away from the "experience". No big deal and hardly a cut/slice/dice. >Every time I read an entire digest of posts, I walk away pissed and feeling >as though I need to defend DT from their own fans. Actually I get a similar feeling, though the cause is just the opposite. This list (and for that matter virtually every other band-specific list) treats band members as sacred. Hello!? The boys in DT are awesome which is why we all go to the shows and buy the CDs. However, they are 1) not perfect, 2) not the best musicians in the world. Ask them - they'll tell you. And don't feel the need to defend them: 1) they are big boys who should be able to handle rational comments about their performances 2) this is a mailing list in which people are free to voice opinions, both good and bad >I just don't have the heart for this.

I've seen the guy on one of them talk shows or something. He even really uses his thumb and mouth for those popping noises. Can't be that hard to figure out though.

Rumor has it, from an industry insider, that Derek is on the way out. Why you ask? Caught in bed with the Keyboard tech's Wife. Do I believe this? I'm not sure, but I do remember Derek hitting on my wife right in front of me at Ytsecon 1. I actually had to say "Derek, were married." To which he replied "sorry" and turned away. :^( My new job is for a company that installs lighting systems and manufactures power distribution and motor control units for concert halls and tours.

I think he's been into it for a long time... I never though much about him as a guitarist when he was with Idol, but he released a 12 minute song for Guitar World, where he played several different guitar styles and it was awesome. Unfortunately his first solo release "Atomic Playboys" kind of sucked... BLS definately make sup for it though... -- ~Michael Kizer "Enter ivory gates through midnight skies..." - http://www.ivorygate.com >>> Fates Warning ~ Island In The Stream <<< >>> Dream Theater and Kevin Moore "Unofficial" Song Books <<< ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Sep 1998 01:01:48 -0400 From: Joe DeAngelo To: YTSEJAM Subject: FW live Message-ID: > "I just read the review of the new live Fates' CD (and it sounds great!). > I'm just curious if it's out yet?

Message-ID: THE GOOD I missed the first few songs Dream Theater played, but I had just seen th= em headlining a few months back in San Francisco. They are a great band to = see live, always very tight. The singer gets a little too operatic at times, but t= hey are just phenomenal musicians, and I really enjoyed their set. Apparently they ra= n out of time, because the didn't finish the last song they played, but they seem= ed to get a great reaction from the crowd, especially for an opening act. -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------- Dream Theater took to the stage 8 minutes early and I was quite surprised= at the talent of this band. I had never heard any of their music prior to now a= nd they were more than equal to the task of being on this bill. I=92m sure we=92re go= ing to hear more from them as time goes on. I didn=92t know the names of any tunes but re= cognized quotes from Pink Floyd and Metallica. Mike Portnoy is an excellent drumm= er and has lots of chops, but he really doesn=92t have to flog those drums like= that. A little finesse would go a long way and who knows, it may even increase his spee= d a bit ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SO SO Now, just a few quick comments on the show. Dream Theater was pretty good= for a warm-up act.
