Coal chamber is FAAARRRRR from from progressive. I owned their CD for a month (note that). Each songs has one verse and one chorus that is repeated over and over and over. They are nothing but a meatl band. I saw them live opening for Megadeth last year. Then when kids in the mall start wearing their shirts religiously, its over.

Any info would be appreciated, as usual! What did you heard? old staff or the newer? Paradise Lost at first where a kick ass Death Metal band, with great songs. It's of the few bands that changed along the way that remained really heavy and really good. The best albums (IMHO) were "Icon" and the one that followed "Draconian Times" were they play a mix of Death, Heavy, Gothic and God knows what else. The bottom line is that these two kick major ass. The bad thing in the story is that after a great progression in metal, along the way (1996-7) they took the first EXIT out of the metal highway and got into the electronic "Depece Mode-ish" avenue. I haven't heard their latest albums so I can't tell you if they are good or not. But I think it's really sad for the older fans this change. They changed completely, even more than M#@%^&@!A did. If you like electronic music probably you'll like the last two-three albums, if you're more into metal you'll better check their older staff. The official site is http://www.paradiselost.co.uk which seem to be down. Search at the Ultimate Band List (http://www.ubl.com) to find more info and sites about the band.

Can you give me some instruction on >how I can download them? I guess I can't use my browser(IE 5.0). I also >tried using the FTP program that comes with WIN95, but I'm kinda clueless >how it works. The following info could be useful to lots of people, so i figured it'd post to the jam. in my little lecture, wherever i put a command in caps, it just means type in what I put in caps. don't actually type the command in caps. that was just so you could see what i meant. anyway: I use netscape, where you can just type in "ftp://blahblah.blah" instead of "html://blahblah.blah" in the address box. did you try that? I don't know if it'll work in IE. at any rate...EVERYONE should know the basics of FTP! it can come in very handy sometimes, especially those times you feel like pirating software, which is essentialy what is happening on adam's site, since he put up a disclaimer that mtv owns the queensryche stuff and he might have to take it down. It's not hard, but if you're a sissy, you're still in luck, because you can get CuteFTP, which I use myself. It works just like windows explorer(remember when it used to be called program manager?), with your computer's contents on the left and the ftp site on the right. and you can click open folders and drag stuff either way, it's great. i'm using it right now to get that unplugged ryche show. go to www.cuteftp.com for a shareware version. If you're feeling a little adventurous, here's some simple ftp commands you can use to get what you need done. FTP uses UNIX, which works almost the same as DOS, because DOS is just plagairized UNIX. Once you're logged on to an FTP server, DIR lists a directory, CD blah goes to that directory, and CD .. goes back up. make sure the space before the two dots are there. In most FTP sites, you'd start by going to the "pub" directory and then decide from there. Adams' site is very straightforward. the directory names are "dream theater", "queensryche" and so on. so you'd type DIR to see that list, and then CD dreamtheater, for example, to get to the DT files. once there, all you have to do is download them, which you do by typing GET. you type "get 'filename'" including any extensions. if the file is in uppercase, you gotta type it in uppercase, and you gotta put the filename in quotes for the uppercase to be recognized. and that's pretty much it. The only thing i haven't explained is logging on, cuz i wanted to save the hardest for last. Eric, you said you were using the FTP program that came with W95. i have 98, but i'm assuming it's the same - a dos based program, right? I just used it for the first time, just so i could type this message accurately, so you better read it, jerky. :) anyway, I got to that program by going to the start button, then 'run' then "ftp". the dos ftp program came up. now, here's where you connect to the site you want. well known sites have names, like ftp.funet.fi or ftp.hornyasiankiddies.com or what-have-you. but you don't always need a name, like in adam's case; he just provided the IP number. that's fine, you can type that right in. you get to that site by typing either OPEN or CONNECT or sometimes FTP, one of which ought to then prompt you for the address. in our program, OPEN worked, it then asked TO, at which point i entered adam's number. i was prompted for a user name, at which point i typed in ANONYMOUS, as is customary. i was prompted to use my email address as the password. i did. then I couldn't get on, because i was already on using my cuteftp program. doh! so i went to funet(first site i thought of) and just grabbed the first file i found. some readme file. I went through the directories using DIR, CD .., and CD directoryname, until i found this file, and then to download it, i did two things. first i typed HASH, so that little marks would go across my screen indicating my progress. without those, you have no idea if the thing's even working. Then i typed GET filename, and since the filename was in caps, i did it like this: [get "README"], ignore brackets, and then I hit enter. and it worked. so if you want to slick back your hair with fry grease and pump up your eastern bloc techno, you can just use this handy guide to ftp the 'real' way. or just do the cuteftp thing, which is really easier and that's the only way I do it these days. I forgot all this stuff, and actually the re-remembering i had to do for this post really brought me back to those mid-college years, where the little hash marks signified all the girls that would not be having any sex with me. haw haw! joshua ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 11:11:03 +0200 (CEST) From: email_address_removed To: undisclosed-recipients:; Message-ID: Shane, and some other guy wrote: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I used to feel the same way, but now I'm kinda getting into the death vocals. Amorphis' "Elegy" helped me b/c it's about half & half. And I just picked up Opeth's "My Arms, Your Hearse" and I can't stop listening to it. There is one track with clean vocals but the rest is growled. To me, it seems like the vocals become just another instrument. They aren't distracting like clean vocals b/c you can't understand them! So there's no desire for me to sing along. I can focus on the music. Just my opinion, of course. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Recently, I ran into this band called: "In Flames" [Dr. Mosh's FTP] - Weird mix, I'd have to say... That voice, and the rest playing melodic as hell. -And IMO they really play well!! At first, I didn't like the vocals, but now, I almost dig this growling... (Of course, all death-bands has gone together and constructed this band , just so that non-deathers would eventually get caught listening to this sort of vocals) -Anyway....Does anyone have some band-info about these guys? Q #2: I once got this Bootleg Live CD with DT's Change Of (underwear)Season, but the whole beginning is completely different, and IMO far better than their official release. I actually had to duplicate the drumbeats one by one into a sequenser, to get a grasp on it, because the rest of the band played in a completely different signature.(I think) I counted 7/8 on the drums, (I might be wrong on that) and they all met at #21, or 28. -So, this CD were lost/forgotten somewhere in time, and I really miss this killer-part.

All well and good, but I'm going to be sunning myself on a beach in the Maldives on the dates he's doing in the UK. It happened exactly the same with Mr. Big & White Lion. "No, we have no plans to tour Europe this year", so I get a job in the Middle East for a year or two. Next thing I hear, not only do they tour, they then split up. And I'm still waiting for tours by Tony Macalpine, Greg Howe, Paul Gilbert etc. Faces that are unlikely to appear in Blighty for other than a one off show in London every ten years, when they seem to be constantly playing in the US Anyways, gripe over. I'm looking forward to getting Mullmuzzler, Transistor - TNT and Steve Vai's - The Ultra Zone. Any reviews or news on these titles.

Vinyl is STILL the reining king of reproduction. Quite expensive though... The digital formats have gained much ground in the past decade, but the FACT of the matter is: Top quality analog is STILL unmatched in tonal accuracy. Also, the dynamic range of hi-end analog still exceeds the human hearing range.
