I agree. If you've never met God, you shouldn't be allowed to believein Him. The same goes for Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Bigfoot, etc... Now I don't know if you were just joking around, but I've seen you be an ass before. I am NOT a fucking Nazi! I would think that would be very clear the way I attack them. I HATE Nazis. But I love the Germans. They gave us Cusco, KMFDM, Ramms+ein, and Tangerine Dream. And they are for the most part NOT nazis. And you got the whole point wrong too. First of all, I believe in God. Maybe you don't. But I would NOT enter a religious debate without knowing anything about it. I DO, so that's why I participate. But since I know nothing about most sports, I do not debate sports with people. It's as easy as that. ---------------- Now, I feel a need 2 respond 2 whoever said that Mike should "stand his own" here, and that he should have 2 deal with flames and stuff. WRONG! If this were a Fates Warning list, then yes. He should get no special treatment. But, as I keep trying to say, this is a list for FANS OF DREAM THEATER. It's for people who respect and admire DT. So then it is completely WRONG to directly insult them. Sometimes, if you think one of them is being a jerk, sure, voice your opinion. There's nothing wrong with saying what you believe. It's another thing to flame them directly. More later, watch this space...............

I just had one installed in my RG-550 and it gets an impressive sound, even through my Mesa subway blues. Definately not a blues pickup, but an RG isn't used for much outside of the wonderful prog-rock/metal/shred/distorted-musical-explosion category of music (however the hell we define it.) -Chris ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Oct 1998 20:59:15 -0500 From: Edward Polzin To: email_address_removed Subject: Dream Theater and related items for sale Message-ID: New Items Added Again.

I have a copy of the Lie single that is labeled "For Promotional Use Only", it is in the cardboard "DigiPak" and has only the song "Lie" on it. The CD it self has the Majesty symbol printed on it. Is this CD worth more than the "non-Promotional" CD. or is it just another single? THANKS! NP: LTE (wow, did I say wow?

I have enough, strike that, more than enough material from the FII tour to satisfy me (all of two items, take that as you may) and my DT craving.....I had OiaL preordered from one of the on-line places, then I went back and tried to use the ten dollar discount y'all mentioned earlier this week.....I picked up Live after Death (2 disc, enhanced version) to replace my long-lost and lamented cassette) and when they suggested I combine orders to save shipping charges and I discovered that the sum total was more than separate purchases (because i lost the roadie quiz discount :( I had to drop one of those items, LaD or OiaL Oial didn't make the cut now, if you're smart, or otherwise recall the terms of the ten dollar discount, you'll realize that that isn't as heinous a call as it seems, and you'll keep flamage to a minimum, or reasonable fascimile thereof. but then i started thinking about it, and i realized that I might have made the same call, regardless of $20 minimum purchase rules inherent in the $10 discount...... and i think this is why: I've already heard most of what I'm going to get in Once in a Livetime......sure, it's better quality, sure, it's a special show, special setting, but apart from a few good moments, I've heard the stuff on boots, or I've seen it at the two shows I've been fortunate to see DT play sorta reminds me of when ACOS came out, with those of us who'd heard the earlier version comparing it to the EP version, and finding one or the other better.......at the time, I couldn't decide whether having that comparison availble to me, beforehand, was good or not.....i ended up thinking that it didn't matter, I was damn glad to have new Dream Theater available to me........ but that was.....geeez.....over three years ago my DT fandon was less than half as old as it is now, and my ytsejam existence (and therefore access to boots) was barely 6 months old Even though I had heard ACoS, I was still as hyped as anyone over the EPs release......and that's just not the case with OiaL I'm not sure whether that has more to do with the argument I'm hinting at here (i've heard it on the boots, therefore, i can't get exceited over the same old stuff) or the fact that FII has worn very badly for me, failing to hit last years top 5 in my head, rarely if ever getting spun these days.......maybe it's just the material that doesn't get me going? then again, it could just be a familiarity crisis, who knows? I want to make absolutely clear that said bootlegs are not going to stop me from buying OiaL, of that, there ain't no doubt......but maybe I'm just not excited about it as I might have been had I had no other experience with DT live outside of those two shows and what they put out on record........ partha ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Oct 1998 03:08:20 -0700 From: Chris Oates To: email_address_removed Subject: egads Message-ID: >This shows how little you know.

It was Glenn Hughes singing on that "Black Sabbath Featuring Tony Iommi" CD, and not Ray Gillen. Ray Gillen had his vocals on The Eternal Idol and they were substituted by Tony Martin (am I the only one that thinks Tony Martin actually does kick ass?). Meow (am I not TheCatGod?)

Message-ID: an echolyn video :) apparently, when they were touring back in 95, their detroit stop was captured for a cable show), a few minutes of it anyway (maybe 30?) and I am now the happy posessor of such a tape...... man, that came in way handy at 3 am, after I finally got done doiniig somethinig I had idiotically believed i could finish by 11 PM, and realized that I had better stay at my lab/classroom building all night rather than walk the streets of detroit city at 3 am..... the lounge has a pool table and a VCR equipped big ole TV, and I was a happy camper, or as happy as I could be going on 32 hours sans sleep.....(did i mention that i was an idiot for watching the video and staying awake all night rather than trying to catnap in the lounge??) anyway, there is one more musically related note to this wallowing exercise in self-pity......the guy who hooked me up with said tape is in a band of his own, the Detroit-based House of Usher. Richard Kaczynski on keys (my stats prof from last winter, of all things), Mark Evans, formerly of Tiles on drums, and three other guys whose names i can't recall right now (see the part above about lack of sleep).....anyway, the prof was nice enough to add a few minutes of a House of Usher performance at the end of the tape, some cool, early ELP-ish (in the interest of defining a nice-pigeonhole for all you label obsessed freaks out there) type of sounds from what little i heard.....of course, in the prog realm, a few minutes is as likely as not to be a single song..... House of Usher just got done mastering their CD, the prof held off giving me a cd-r of the rough mix becausue the mastering apparently worked wonders, but I'll be sure to tell you about it when I get my hands on it....he mentioned something about a January official release..... partha sarathi mukhopadhyay wordier than thou ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Oct 1998 09:57:21 -0700 (PDT) From: ytse jam To: email_address_removed Subject: Top 20! Message-ID: Hey ytsejammers! It's time for all you "old-timers" with the gigantic collections to put in your votes! Submit a list of your Top 20 all-time favorite recordings. The survey will run until Oct. 31, 1998. Results will be posted on the ytsejam and on a DT website, where we can reference them when anybody wants a recommendation.

Portnoy's clinic in Phoenix will be at Gibson's in Tempe (I guess it is close to Mill Ave. and 3rd or 5th) this coming Monday (I think doors open around 6pm (call the Guitar Center in Tempe for details)... I'll be driving up for it, probably wearing a Ytsejam shirt so flag me down and say hi... I am sure the usual Phoenix metalhead crew will be there, right Vinnie, Eckie, et al? :-) NP: Dalbello "Whomanfoursays" -- with the original version of "Gonna Get Close To You" that Queensryche covered on Rage For Order... pretty trippy stuff... -- ~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: Fri, 23 Oct 1998 20:43:50 +0200 From: "Dennis Leeflang" To: Subject: Review your page? / Let's do the album too then.... Message-ID: <000501bdfeb5$153e9300$message_id_removed.nl> Ok. very cool site indeed...... Nice Pictures, lay-out, info, tips, but..... "only 3 days until the release"? Well when will that be then? I have had my very own copy right here for almost 2 days now.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I can tell you..... This live-album is a breakthrough in live-album-history..... It is a lesson in NOT playing your songs exactly like you did on your albums, but playing 'em the way you feel like, fool around with 'em, basically "play" the audience, and let people still be able to know what's going on up there.... This is THE ultimate live album so far....... So even when you think you have all the songs of these killah dudez..... you don't! There is so much going on on the album.... You just have to have it..... Let me do a Ytsejam, DT fan, mad man -forecast...... I myself have in my band a singer pretty simulair to James..... I know that the kind of singing James does, is a kind of not being able to sing everything the same way everytime (isn't that what we love about him?).... Though I predict James' reward for being very honest, and not fuck around with his vocals in a studio, will be that you lot will be complaining your asses off about a little note here and there that wasn't completely in tune..... Well in advance I'd like to say to James: You did superb, and I'm sure there's nobody out there that can do it better than you... That's why YOU are the DT-singer....!!!! ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 4365 **************************
