Message-ID: I agree the majority of AOL'ers are not very clever about the internet. But in France we do not have all the network problems that exist in the USA. For example, we do not have the message "it has been a long time since you got connected, why the fuck don't you go away ?!". We are not obliged to use the AOL browser. It is not very "beautiful" but it runs faster when you want to download things. AOL is not censored and we can get newsgroups too. The thing is that with AOL you do not have to get a lot of programs like ICQ or something, all is compiled into one program. And if you want to chat, it is far more easier to chat with people from all around the world with AOL than with ICQ. Well, i do not get money from AOL to say that, but the truth had to be told. France is late about the internet (we do not have fiber optics or cable or all these stuff), but AOL is still not considered as crap here. Now, musically, i did not manage to get Acid Rain (in fact i did not search a lot...). Can anybody tell me the address where i can find it? And finally, about the last Shadow Gallery : i was quiet disappointed when i bought it. It sounds like the 80s songs! (the choirs in particular. I think it is "old-fashioned" to sing the way they sing. Choirs can exist without sounding old. For example Symphony X or Rhapsody or sometimes Angra etc. And I think Shadow Gallery sometimes play complicated music just to play complicated... I do not feel their feeling. DT is sometimes complicated, but it is beautiful which is not the case -in my opinion- with SG. I do not hate SG, but did you look at the cover photo of the band?! bahhhh....ridiculous!!!!. A last thing : I do not know anything about Royal Hunt. Which album is the best for a first taste? that's all!

Fini" To: email_address_removed Subject: LTE + Roxy = PHENOMENAL Message-ID: What can I say about the LTE show last night in L.A. other than it was one of the best shows I've ever been to? Other 'jammers will be posting about this show, and some already have, so I'll keep it brief. Let me just say, ladies and gentlemen, that the future is bright: the new LTE album is coming out in May, and from the preview we got at the show, it's going to be album of the year for many people, including myself. I gained a whole new appreciation for Jordan's immense talents on the keys, as I got an edge-on view of him torturing the keyboard to do his bidding. Tony Levin mesmerized me with his fluid, funky licks on the stick. And I don't even need to mention how amazing Mike and John's playing was. Overall, it was a concert experience to remember for a long, long time... and if they don't release an 'official' live album of this show, I expect to see some kind 'jammers offering high-quality CDRs of their recordings. :) Paul -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --..

LTE, AOL Message-ID: I hereby nominate John Myung for "..........................". This was truly a classic moment, not to be confused with his hillarious outburst of "......!!!!" or the also infamous "-------". On a serious note, I saw LTE yesterday, and i gotta say I was blown away. Well, my eardrums were anyway, as I was right under the house speakers and pretty much directly in front of Jordan. I almost started crying, imagine what DT is gonna be like with this AMAZINGly talented keyboardist. It was really great to see people supporting him so much. I think the highlight of the show was during Another Dimension (??) when Petrucci was mouthing the key to the other guys, looking like he wanted to scream. Levin kicked butt as always, and Mike was his usual fun self, even dropped a drum stick in there, and tried to sing that whistly part of Chris and Kevins excellent adventure. Matt B.-- fudge, baby. Lots of it. ;) AOL users: Ive been there, I feel your pain. All I have to say to anyone who ever used AOL is this: pinting, punting, porn invites, spam mail up the ass. End of discussion.

But GTE's the only thing besides them that have local numbers up here. So I am cursed to suffer with AOL until Earthlink or at least MSN get up here. Oh yes. And Tubular Bells II is NOTHING compared to the first. But Tubular Bells III (1997) is REALLY good.

Do yourself a favour and check out the samples at their website. I'm sure at least two people on this list will agree (hi Graham, hi Mape!). :-) Take care Ties -- Nightwish: Oceanborn Review by Ties Goebel, written for the online progressive music review archive "Through Different Eyes" (http://hem2.passagen.se/caxen/) This CD blew me away from first listen. Nightwish's debut album "Angels Fall First" was brilliant so I expected a lot from the follow-up, but honestly I didn't expect it to be THAT good. They made a huge step forward, after listening to nothing else than this album since I got it a week ago I have to say that this is one of my favourite albums of all time. A rough description of the music would be a cross of Angra, Symphony X and Stratovarius, thus symphonic, melodic and fast, executed with the same technical skills as the mentioned bands, yet developping their own sound. On top of that, what makes Nightwish's style absolutely unique, the performance of Tarja, a female opera singer with an angel-like voice. Her singing perfectly fits in with the music, in slow quiet parts as well as in fast ones with heavy guitar rhythms. You'll find a lot of great melodic keyboard parts with piano and strings sounds on this album, combined with heavy guitar riffs and fast double bass drumming. Most of the songs are up-tempo, yet including slow atmospheric parts.There's one instrumental song, "Moondance", that sounds like a heavy version of a scandinavian folk dance (and that's probably exactly what it is). The beautiful ballad "Walking On Air" perfectly rounds off the album. The production is crisp and clear, the only drawback of the album might be the short running time (48 minutes), although there's something new to dicover with each listen. Every song is a highlight, no "fillers" are to be found. Nightwish will make their way with this album. There's no excuse, check it out!

Korn sucks. When I think of bands like that, names like Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit pop into my head...just pure crap. I think bands like that are just MTV and the whole 90's scene trying to cater to the metalheads of the 80's and failing horribly at it. I can't believe people have to piss all over the name of metal and label it as just that. And what were you replying to? Did someone say they heard John Petrucci sent Korn an audition tape? That's a good one!

Could you (or anybody with a fast net connection) please upload this song to some site/page (perhaps to Mosh's site?), please? I simply can't find the Rudess & Morgenstein Project CD and there was a time when I tried ordering it from CD Connection and they spent one month trying to find it for me, without any success. So, I still want to listen to this CD, but I can't find it anywhere. :-( Any uploads would be certainly appreciated.

That isn't what I said, nor was it what I was trying to say. I said that if the artist doesn't feel comfortable during those moments and views them as an unnecessary or painful duty, they shouldn't force themselves through it. I know I feel like an obstacle when Petrucci (or anyone) is signing things WHILE walking away from the venue, and in those cases I usually just step out of the way. I don't think an artist has any real obligation to grant his or her fans a portion of time after performances for discussion or blessings.
