I would have brought it up earlier, but I had to get permission from this person. I will just say that this person that told me quite a few things back in the early 90s - all of which came true. So I consider this rumor worth paying attention to. Keeping it short, Yngwie Malmsteen is considering Derek Sherinian as his new keyboardist. If this is true, it could be exactly what BOTH of them need to expand their playing. I think they could both add something to one another's style and we could finally get that Yngwie Malmsteen CD that sounds like an evolution as opposed to a repetition. I don't want to ponder it too heavily because it is just a rumor. No reason to start an ytsewar (seems inevitable though) over a rumor. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 16:36 -0800 From: "Rahul Ananda" To: "email_address_removed" Subject: breaking derek, the fuzz, the Dregs Message-ID: A clean break from Derek? What was he, some sort of Alien inexorably attached to the collective visage of Dream Theater requiring Ripley's intervention? Some sort of leech that needed to be burned off? Interesting choice of words. :) Partha's driving anecdote reminded me when a Richland, WA cop pulled me over for speeding. The radio (all I had) was, miraculously, playing Rush's Red Barchetta. I had my '81 Mazda GLC floored baby...so I was going, like, 55. I ran a traffic light (supposedly...I certainly didn't notice one) and this cop pulled me over. Now, I want you to imagine an obese person. Now double that. This is the average look of a Richland police officer (to protect and to consume). This guy, though, turned out to be a major Rush dork, and when I told him the situation (he was listening to the same shit in his patrol car), he let me off with a warning. Lastly, some actual content...I keep hearing that Jordan toured/ performed with the Dixie Dregs. Are there any recordings of his sojourn with Morse and Co. floating around someplace? I'm a big DD fan, but haven't found anything released by them with Jordan on keys. -Rahul Ananda ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Feb 1999 03:32:56 +0100 From: Steffen Barabasch To: Ytsejam Subject: RTK/M2 Message-ID: Hi! "Raise the knife -- cut through!" That's not by John Myung, it sounds more like Mike Portnoy, doesn't it? ;-) Always thought they should redo the cheesy chorus, but the main riff and the instumental part in the last half are still great. But who asked me anyway. And they indeed recorded a demo of Metropolis pt. 2 with Derek.

Do you hear how Winamp plays your files? That's how good it decodes to a wave file. It writes the wave file exactly the same way it plays them; it just writes it to a file instead of to your sound card. Trust me, Winamp is probably one of the best wav-writers on the market. ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh email_address_removed http://cout.ml.org/ ICQ: 2513441 ------------------------------------------------- If we could all close our eyes and imagine world peace, think of how great that would be.

And don't forget that JM and KJLB together with JP & MP have already worked with Jordan in a DT context! When he did the gig at Foundations Forum and if I remember correctly was offered the spot as a permanent member of DT. To me it looks like they already had decided back then that he would be the perfect keyboard player for DT but since Jordan had to turn the offer down for personal matters, DT had to settle for someone else. I'm not taking sides in "what keyboard player sux and who don't" but I must confess that I experienced Derek on the Awake Tour and I was impressed with the Jazzy, Bluesy playing he added to DT's sound in contrast to KM's more (IMHO) traditional prog. rock playing. (classical influenced, more straight 'mechanical' playing) ]From what I have heard Jordan seems to have both the 'Classical' and the Jazz rock part well covered so I 'm looking forward to hear what he will contribute to OFB's sound.

I thought it might be LTE2, but sounded kind of mellow compared to the LTE2 tunes they played live. 2. What's up with Jordan's hair? In some pictures he looks almost bald, but it looked like he had plenty of hair at the show. 1. Where in HELL was Mosh? I hope he was having sex with at least two underage girls. That MIGHT justisy missing that show. :) I think I get the prize for driving the furthest for a LTE show. Seattle to LA and back in 3.5 days. The only thing that made that trip close to tolerable was the music and the company.
