I would hate to see someone his caliber have to sit through You Not Me or Take Away My Pain -- hell Burning My Soul is pushing it. Anyway, other than Anna Lee any other takes on what he will play? Personally I cannot wait until JR solo intro in Lines, somehow I think it will be just fine. -Eric ps Does Jordan write lyrics? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 14:56:50 -0800 (PST) From: Brian Hansen To: email_address_removed Subject: When Dream and Liquid Unite Message-ID: Wow! Derek shocker! Took forever to read the backlog of reactions in the jam. So here's some of my reactions to recent jams: 1. What will the new DT sound like? Well, it will be a cross between DT and LTE. My guess is that the big difference will be that they will take more time to compose and record than was spent on the LTE projects. Obviously, they will focus more on vocal compositions for the new DT recording. Hopefully Jordan will bring back a little more of the "mood and atmosphere" that were missing on FII. And being a neo-classical junkie, his classical background is a welcome addition, at least for me. 2. Derek vs. Kevin vs. Jordan? Well, many of us moaned about the loss of Kevin for years, so the loss of Derek will no doubt be moaned for awhile. Maybe not as much though. ;o) The real debate will start when the new DT comes out. Then we can compare all 3 of them. 3. Derek eulogy. Many people enjoyed Derek's playing style and will miss him. Although it's always a matter of personnal preference, no one ever denied that he was a good player. But sometimes I don't understand how bringing a lava lamp to a gig makes a player any better or worse. It's just about the music for me. I can care less how the players are dressed, or if they shove a 1000 watt light bulb up their ass and shoot light beams out their belly button! 4. Why is Derek out? Well, I don't think that the guys in DT owe us any further explanation. It was always obvious that he wasn't a "perfect" fit in the band. He taste in music and interests were always a little different. No doubt if it were up to Derek, he would rather be touring with a straight ahead rock band that also had the benefit of large number of nubile young groupies. 5. Good move or bad? Let's talk record sales. There's a lot of old DT fans out there that would not have picked up the next DT disc if Derek was still in the band. Simple fact. With Jordan in the band, old and new fans will be anxious to pick up the new disc. Mo' money! But of course that wouldn't be the only reason, maybe just a good side effect. ;o) Once again, if Jordan had been available after Awake, we would have never heard of Derek. Jordan was the first choice. Actually this works out great for Jordan, since Derek stood in there and took the abuse of thousands of rabid Kevin Moore fans. Jordan will not be under the same fire. my $.02, BH _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

See the URL below if you haven't visited already. I particularly like the jam at the end of the song - it gives some insight how jams with him might sound.

Message-ID: Hello all, This is my first time posting to this list. I subscribed in June with an old email account, and just checked it. I was suprised when I had 569 messages! What a pleasnt suprise. I am very glad that Derek is gone, he did not fit in with the rest of the band, soundwise, personality wise, and his whole image. My friend said when he first saw him he thought he looked like one of the guys from Matchbox 20. I am personally looking forward even more to the next release!

I however preferred what I consider to be the smooth sound of Kevin's live keyboard playing as opposed to Derek's almost staccato delivery. I think Jordan will be the best of the three as far as his overall influence on the band and live playing. Here's to the new millennium's theme music, brought to us by a freshly new Dream Theater. Later, Kevin. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Used CDs are always for sale at: http://www.flash.net/~kvill/cds4sale.html Updated regularly! ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 16:08:07 -0800 From: "Nick Guadagnoli" To: Subject: KC/LTE/DT Message-ID: <003601be4409$12240ee0$9b5ec998@progrockboy> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0033_01BE43C5.E6ED9220 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable >King Crimson would get top billing.

I personally think a band is healthier when there are varied influences. The tug-of-war to pull the music into different directions often generates powerful, emotional and timeless classics! Not to mention is created very original tunes! cheers -Ponte ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 16:40:25 -0800 From: "Wes Foll (Beavis)" To: email_address_removed Subject: NDTC---But cool SOD NEWS---READ!

Anyways, DT is Erm... it's more like, "You know, I met my old love -- yes, the one who left me for someone else years ago -- on some occasions during the last few months, and we really got along, and now, all of a sudden, he wants to marry me..." ;-) However, I think it's a nice couple.
