And his shredidng techniques is very raw, free. It's not Yngwie type of shred, which is in a way cliche shred, shred achieved by hours practicing with the shreding lessons video!

It's much more tasty than DT, IMHO! :) I mean really, MELODY, I just can't get enough of the melodies these guys came up with! Shredders, but controlled one and only when necesarry. Not showing off, except live! :) But arrangements and the music are best, maybe best band in that aspect I ever heard in my life! > They take the Macedonian folk influences, mix it with jazz and > rock and come up with a sound all it's own.

If someone wants to offer space, lemme know. I surely have lots interesting music to put up there. > Anyhow, he played some great intros to the songs...

The rhythm goes: 1,2,1,2,3 - 1,2,1,2,3 - 1,2,1,2,3 ... ???????? > Victor from Bulgaria, the 9/8 drummer Yeah right! :) > From: Matej Grginic Woohoo, what do we have here, reunion of ex-YU citiznes! ;) OK, we have Macedonian, Slovenian, Croatian, we need 4 more! Hey you guys btw, Serbia has some really cool DT fans, I met them in Budapest last year for the DT gig. ex-YU rock fans were always cool guys! In other words - we rule! ;) > >Hey what's the big deal with the Trio being so active in > >Slovenia and Croatia? :( Here they did only 1 gig! > > hey, every dog gets its day :) we'r just lucky :) Or it's the money talk? :( Heck man, now that's irony: Macedonian musician being more popular in the other ex-YU republics! I bet that if Leb i Sol suddenly decide doing last tour in their life (me banging the floor with my head from unfounded excitement), I bet the halls in Serbia or Croatia, Slovenia will be totally PACKED! > I saw them two times on this tour and it totally > ruled both times... absolutely amazing! What do ya say about the bassist eh? :) He is a monster man, only he can't get enough chance besides Vlatko! Maybe live he stretch a bit more and shows what he can do! This dude played bass for some cafe-bars jazz rock band in Skopje (capitol of Macedonia) and they kicked ass. Surfin' all over Billy Cobham, Jeff Beck, Simon Philips ... And the drummer Vlatko has in the trio is said to be the best young drummer here. BUT the little kid of Garo is said that he'll blow eveybody away! :) This kid is still very young.

An incident of enormous embarassment has forced me to emerge from lurking on this list to do a bit of damage control. My friend, Jim Raggi, publishes a Metal Fanzine called Lamentations of the Flame Princess, and I proofread each issue before it goes to print. In each issue, like any other fanzine, he interviews (seemingly) a million bands and reviews pretty much anything sent to him. Issue 3, which just returned from the printer, contains interviews with Cathedral, Gamma Ray, Stuck Mojo, Witchery, etc etc etc. Anyway, one of the bands interviewed is Dali's Dilemma. When listening to the tape to transcribe the interview, he couldn't quite make out one of the names of the people mentioned, some guy they were honored to be on the same label with, and the best he could make out was John Bertucci. In retrospect, and to our great embarassment, obviously they meant John Petrucci. Now, LotFP is a pretty damned good zine, Jim's brutally honest in his reviews, and his ints do more than just hit the highlights and go away. He's done HUGE ints with Dan Swano, Opeth, Nevermore, Sculptured, and a ton more in the past. He's good. We just royally screwed that name up : ) Keep in mind, however, as you're laughing at our amateurism, that he'd heard one or two DT songs before that, and I had Never even heard of them until he brings in ACOS. I usually hate the stuff he listens to; death, doom, black, white, goth, it's pretty much all crap to my ears, although some of the the more straight forward "Sure we're cheesy, so f'n what?" Heavy Metal bands are pretty good (Gamma Ray, Rhapsody, Hammerfall). Anyway, so I listen to ACOS because I wanna see what some metal band has done to Funeral for a Friend. I liked it. Hell, it's just a copy, they don't change ANYTHING. So I listened to their 23 minute ACOS, expecting to turn it off after about a minute. Hmmm, that's pretty good stuff, gets shorter everytime I listen to it. So I go get Images and Words. BAM! That thing held me by the nose while kicking me in the ass, to paraphrase Patton. So anyway, I'm a convert to being a ProgMetal fan now, completely addicted to DT and LTE, and that mistake really seems bad now. Oh well, I'm a student, if not a fan, of Clintonian spin control, so I'm getting the word out before people see the zine. We screwed up. Sorry : ) Thanks for your time, D. L.

I've been lurking around the 'Jam for quite some time and finally found some stuff to contribute :P I saw Neal Morse and Nick D'Virgilio from Spock's Beard live on saturday. They played an incredible semi-acoustic gig in an Irish Pub here in Nuernberg, Germany. Too bad they didn't play any DT stuff among the ton of covers ;) Anyway, I got to talk to Neal after the show and inquired about his project with Mike. He said it would be released in February (as you may already know). I was wondering whether he'd do all the vocals on the album but he told me that Roine Stolt would sing some stuff as well and even Pete and Mike would get to do some vocals. He said the whole thing came out "amazing" (of course, hehe :). Being the DT fanatic that I am, I couldn't resist to ask him about the new DT album :P Just as I expected, Neal DID get to hear some rough mixes of the new material during the recording sessions for the "project". He called the new stuff "mindblowing" and said that it had him wondering "how the hell can they play that?". Which sure is a nice thing to hear from a musician like Neal :) He said he honestly didn't know whether it was a concept album ... Needless to say, Neal is an incredibly nice guy to talk to :) Anyway, sounds pretty cool to me and I can't wait to hear DT'99 myself. Same goes for seeing the entire 'Beard in September :) - Mike PS: Don't bother forwarding this to the Thoughts mailing list. I'm gonna write an extended report on the show for that one later on :) -- "What makes a dream so very different from any other dream ?" -- Michael Pruchnicki Editor PlayStation Zone, N-Zone, Sega Magazin mlpruchnicki@computec.de ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 14:33:49 +0100 From: Jon Parmet To: email_address_removed Subject: 5000 luftabloonies, or how I hacked the MFP list into submission....film Message-ID: "Zeusz dA ReAl V0CalISt" writes: > Good for you.

I used the Old Testament as the new one is simply a ripoff. The old one was done in less than a week in the studio. And it charted pretty well at the initial release. Current roadblock: I'm having trouble with the HTML. System keeps saying something like "Are you SURE you want to send HTML to a mailing list?" and I just don't know what to answer there, so I'm stuck in a loop, dismissing dialogs, picking menus.... Broke mouse button 1 yesterday :) So, I've revised my prediction for the new DT album. It shall arrive to our ears concurrent with the arrivel of Digest 5150. The disc will contain a 77 minute extended jam of Van Halen's title track off the disc of the same name. Oddly enough, I think if DT were to do another show backing up a big name, that playing something like 5150 would get them some serious head turning in the audience. You know the intro to that song and you can see JP all over the shred factor on it! Yeah ok, so to appease us prob-snobs, he and Mike would have to tie one hand behind their backs, right? :) Ummm, anyways, since they enjoys covers, why not. You don't hear 5150 on the radio much (if ever), so it qualifies a little better, right? :) Mew-tant-tay the Biped scrawls: > I AM RETARTED I've only recently become tarted.

Thank you. Just because a musician doesn't, doesn't mean they can't. Jordan has a lot of respect for the art form. He'll be ripping some hearts out and suckling on them soon enough, be patient :) I'll be going away for a week; but don't worry, the cessation of pain is only temporary.

How come i have this strange feeling that everyone will answer "noooo"? :-))). Here`s the deal... i noticed that some of you prefer classical elements in prog music more than jazz. And... we all know that even though some of you actually like listening to classic, most of you (even though slightly moved by nice Malmsteen shredding) wouldn`t even consider putting a cd with some Bach`s work in your cd-eater. So how about listening to something i`d call acid-classic (note: term borrowed from acid-jazz which is far more listenable than prog jazz :-))... listening to music which has violins, cellos, flutes, oboes and... drums and bass! I mean REAL drums and REAL bass! And hearing these bunch of geinus loonies playing some of the nicest music on a trace of classical music... just not so complicated and dull, some of you might say. So... i`m offering you something called "Rondo Veneziano"! Ta-Da! :-))). I only have one album but have heard a rather nice number of their tracks... this is fucking beautiful! And to prove you all, i`m gonna make you an mp3 of the first piece off of "Arabesque" called Misteriosa Venezia. If this doesn`t move you (okay, at least to hear someone like it :-) then... whatever :-). These guys and girls are really big... they sold over 25 millions of records... but are rather unknown worldwide. Hell, i don`t even know how did my sis came up with this tape. You can check out their site www.rondoveneziano.com (you won`t find too much information there) so check out an unofficial site: http://users.iol.it/rondoxxx where you can find a bit more info and some mp3 samples... My mp3 is on the way... the tape is rather old, but pretty audioable... oh yea... *ahem* do i have to add that they all are educated musicians? check out what clothes they`re wearing while on stage... you can find pictures on those sites.
