Message-ID: I bet at least half of you prog > drummers out there freak out when they're asked to lay down a solid 4/4... I have a hard time believing THAT. 4/4 is as natural as falling off a log, as natural as vomiting purple chunks after killing a full bottle of grape mad dog 20/20, as natural as mistaking JLB for someone speaking in tongues after hearing OiaLT.... > Maybe that's why most of you guys don't appreciate Metallica anymore. Ever > heard of "Less Is More"? I guess simple is hard for you.... > It's what the music sounds like that counts, not how impessive the musicians > play, God damnit..... I gotta agree with you there, D. I heard Danzig's "Mother" on the radio the other day and commented to my friend about how for a while, I couldn't enjoy music like this beause it was "too simple". I was missing out on some kick ass simplistic music. Look at Pink Floyd: that's what I call getting the maximum music from a minimum of notes. I think Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers falls into that category also. Grade A musicians, even if they don't normally "shred". Tom Petty just wouldn't kick as much ass if Petrucci was tearing apart sixteenth note septuplets at 216 bpm over his nasal Southern drone. Of course, I think JP has enough class to tone it down, should he ever be in that situation. > Stickmaster D. > (I just realized this post will probably mean I will have to put that > firesuit on again.... ) A day without flames is like a day without annoying assholes demanding that their worthless opinions be revered. -Loooooeeeeeeeee ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 16:06:52 EST From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Devin Townsend's Projects Message-ID: In a message dated 11/24/98 1:54:39 PM Central Standard Time, email_address_removed writes: > Phillip in mentioning Devin Townsend's prolific output neglected to > mention SYL's "No Sleep 'til Bedtime (live in Australia)."

I still haven't found an easy way to get ahold of "Infinity" YET... According to his website (http://members.home.net/hevydevy/) it is only available in Japan right now but you can pre-order it via snail mail from the home office. Josh S.
