First of all...Don't do it! You say that the guitar has a transparent butterscotch finish? Is it one of the USRG models from '96? Just curious. If you REALLY want to do this, put the stickers on and have the body proffesionally clear-coated. That's what I would do, assuming I got hit in the head and wanted to mess up a great looking guitar! :) tb __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: Hello, I've just recently become a fan of Dream Theater when I bought SfaM when it first came out. I have to say, it blew me away. Anyway, we all know dream theater is great, so... I misplaced my lyrics booklet for SfaM. Does anyone know if there's any way I could go about getting another copy of this without purchasing the album again? Also, I'm in New Jersey and cannot attend neither the NJ or NY shows this month. Might the band come back to this area later on, or are the tourdates on the site the only ones they are playing?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE e-mail me privately if you wish to continue this discussion as i see a metallica thread about to start.. so for god sake don't respond to this on the jam.. as far as kurt cobain goes..it's a top 100 GUITARIST list.. not top 100 songwriters.. and as i songwriter i thought he was pretty bad personally, but that's just an opinion. (hammett's wretchedness surpasses opinion..his shitty playing just vommits all over musical laws such as: "don't fucking resolve a solo on a suspended note you idiot" inferno (interesting choice of handle after a post like that one) p.s. i'll pay money to keep the metallica thread that's itching to start off the jam.. as off right now it's a "guitarist" thread.. please lets keep it that way >Jimmy Page and Krik Hammett HAVE to be on there. >Page was incredible at taking all kinds of musical >forms and incorporating them into his music.

Message-ID: > "don't :) resolve a solo on a suspended note you idiot" Though I'm definitely not a Hammett fan by any stretch of the imagination, I find it interesting that you seem to believe that a solo cannot end on a suspended note (or any other note, for that matter). Have an open mind - if it sounds good, it sounds good. End of story. Don't get me wrong - I don't think hardly ANY of Kirk's solos sound very good, but Good Lord - there is not a big book that dictates what makes up a good guitar solo. Everything in that book would be a cliche by now anyway. Screw continuity, screw resolution, screw everything else. If a guitarist successfully projects the emotion he is trying to project, he has done his job. Emotion in music is not dictated by notes, but by the process in which a thought BECOMES a note... ..which brings us back to the ubiquitous shredder thread - Yngwie Malmsteen is an infinitely inferior consummate guitarist than guys like, say, Petrucci or Vai, for that very reason. Yes, he uses cool modes, scales, and arpeggios (and that sweep-picking thing is SOOOO cool, dude), but he just doesn't project emotion like JP or SV. I don't feel what YJM is playing, I just hear it. Go see Steve Vai in concert and tell me you can't see how much emotion is flowing from those fingers... Do me a favor - bust out those old, dusty avant-garde jazz LP's and smoke some weed! It just might expand your constipated noodle a bit... :) David ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2000 10:06:34 -0000 From: "Tristam Douglas" To: Cc: "YtseJam" Subject: Sticker protection Message-ID: <001301bf6fc0$c43561e0$af38883e@freeserve.co.uk> If you cover the stickers with common clear sticky backed plastic. You can get it from stationers as it is designed to cover paper, thus the glue that it uses is very inert and has no effect on inks. I employed this technique on by guitar backs to protect them back in my pre-PRS days! Or you could do the Albert Lee thing and have a clear coat over them DOH! ------------------------------------------------- Tristam Douglas email_address_removed.co.uk ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2000 17:36:44 +0100 From: "Tibor Varady 2.0" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: Musaak before shows Message-ID: > > > When they let us in to the Phoenix show, there was a song playing on the > PA > > that I've never heard before. ..... I wasn't at this show, but I do know that when they were in Budapest on the Infinity tour, they played LTE 1 before the show. At that time it wasn't even released (I think). They also played "the way it used to be", which was released. So I guess they do this kind of stuff.

Wh-aaaaaat? "more adept Fates Warning"???? I hope you are confused in your usuage of "adept" because you couldn't possibly think Digital Ruin are more skillful musicians that the guys from Fates, could you? Don't get me wrong, I like DR well enough, but to put them in the same league as Fates is well-nigh blasphemous in my book.

Fini" To: jerry@muc.de, Mark Stahl at home Subject: DT show at the Palace last night Message-ID: Well, it was an interesting night, to say the least... due to bad traffic (more on this later), I arrive at the Palace at about 7:50, which I thought wasn't so bad, even when I saw the gargantuan line to get in. I had no problem selling Matthias' ticket (he couldn't come as scheduled due to some Visa problems in Deutschland), and waited in line w/ a couple of cool fans whom I convinced that they were really missing out if they hadn't heard Spock's Beard yet (which they hadn't). After waiting a while, we finally got in and realized that the Dregs had already been playing for some time - in fact, I only got to see the last two songs of their set! I guess the 7:00 on the ticket meant _start_ time, not doors open. An interesting thing happened while I waited for DT to come on... there was a guy next to me who was fairly clean cut, who I was talking with for a little while. A few minutes after we stopped chatting I felt him leaning on me (kinda weird, I thought), and then when I turned around, he collapsed to the floor. The guys around us and I picked him up, and he seemed pretty out of it... I went to the bar to call for a medic, and by the time we got back, the guy was passing out again, this time right into one of the bouncer's arms. They carried him away, and I'm not sure if he ever got to see the show... DT's set was pretty cool - they ran straight through SfaM (with a very cool solo from Jordan at one point), but part way through "The Spirit Carries On", James left the stage, and never came back out. I was wondering if something had happened to him, but then a few minutes later Mike announced that the Fire Marshal was shutting down the show! He then added that "they were going to keep playing until they were dragged off the stage", and tried to sing James' parts (w/ help from the audience). However, after the power to the PAs and then the monitors was cut, there wasn't a whole lot they could do at that point. People were obviously pretty pissed, and everyone stuck around for about another 1/2 hour to find out why the show had been stopped (it definitely wasn't too crowded in there - I was on the floor and I've seen _much_ more cramped places than that). Finally a representative from the Fire Marshal told everyone to leave, which was largely ignored until the cops showed up in riot control gear. I left at that point, since I don't know what tear gas smells (or feels) like, and I wasn't in the mood to find out just then. :) That was all kind of a weird experience, but there was one more to cap it off... as I got in my car and headed back to the 101 to go home, I turned on my stereo, and to my surprise, it started playing again during "The Spirit Carries On", almost _exactly_ at the point where the band had stopped playing. It was just then that I realized I had shut off my stereo on the way down to the show on the 101, so I could concentrate completely on the (nasty) stop-and-go traffic. What a coincidence...
