I looked at the billboard 200 ( numbers 1 thru 100 cause I didn't wanna pay anything) and they were not to be found.

Well, it keeps getting better! At least here in germany, things don't seem to work out too bad for OFB. By the way, it's great to see the tour dates for germany, once again my town wasn't forgotten. ( Question for Mike: How often did you play for a sold out place in Offenbach?) Rock hasn't quite died in germany like it seems to have done in the US. On a different note, Korn, RATM etc. is quite big here too, but we do have a yearly Uriah Heep Tour to look forward to.

As of the November 13th dates on Billboard's top 200 list, Dream Theater's Scenes From a Memory was listed at #72. I'd say that's not bad at all. > its too sad too. but i guess people would rather listen to bands like > Korn and ICP!! Hey, what's wrong with these bands? I was forced to listen to the new Korn album for my school newspaper to critique it, and I actually *gasp* ENJOYED it. It's not bad music - you're just dissing them because they're popular. Same thing with ICP: Their music may seem vulgar and unmeaningful to one who doesn't listen to it, but if you were REALLY listen to the words and the meanings behind the songs, you'd see that they put a lot of effort into their music and that they discuss a lot of issues like domestic violence, racism, and bigotry in their albums.

I guess >some folks got into it so DT is starting to be at least a little known >in certain circles. Yeah, that pirate SFAM release gets really big sales here too. People frequently stop me to ask me about my FII tour t-shirt. And when somebody asks me "what is my favourite band?" and I say DT, there are no more "Dream what?" questions, like it was before. And in the latest issue of our biggest music magazine there's a big article on DT with much praise about SFAM. I guess OFB has got a pretty big name here, so I only can hope for ... Oh, well, dreams. They're never gonna come for a show here. Life sux. And BTW my S&M and SFAM are LEGAL ones. :PPP Peace and merry christmas everyone! xxx ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Dec 1999 23:55:26 -0600 From: "Jan-Michael" To: Subject: Gran Turismo 2 Message-ID: <001201bf502e$f91e6660$4d3c88cf@jammer> Ho Ho Ho!

Yeah, my brother got it for Christmas as well - I must say that I'm not all that impressed with it. I was hoping for the same kinds of innovations that Gran Turismo 1 put out there (that is, I was hoping for some improvement on the original or something), but it's really just a lot more of the same. Sure, there are more cars and different tracks, but I was hoping for better graphics, more realistic control of the cars, SOMETHING. > Just a tip to that guy who posted saying he thought GT sucked because > of the arrow keys....

So anybody with a PlayStation that's more than a few months (or a year, or something like that) is SOL. ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh email_address_removed Cloak on IRC ICQ: 2513441 ------------------------------------------------- The only stupid question is the one that is never asked, except maybe "Don't you think it's about time you audited my tax return?" or "But officer, isn't it morally wrong to give me a warning when, in fact, I was speeding?" ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 5247 **************************
