According to the sampler I just got, (Empire Music's) his last project before Yes was a band called The Key, which sounds quite a bit like current Yes. Immediately following The Key is The (I'm sure now-famous) Flower Kings. They do have a sortof Yes/Spock's Beard Ambiance. Less spare. other relatively big prog names here: Timothy Pure, Darius, Eternity X. If only 3 cartoon series could be as good as Animaniacs, I might switch back from anime ;) D/J ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 21:26:06 GMT From: "The Mad Tabber" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Petition update Message-ID: Thanks to all you guys who have helped us petition for more Rudess and Petrucci. I wanted to let you guys know the latest. Alan Paul of Guitar World wrote me earlier this week to say that there is a small article on John in the June issue. He said that he wasn't sure about a transcription because of the length of the songs. He also said there were no plans for Petrucci coming back as a columnist. By mid week, someone wrote me to say he said it was about time to do another Dream Theater transcription. Progress! Then today, I saw someone post that they were looking into Petrucci returning as a columnist ... nothing definite. But still, we might have John back as a columnist, and that would have never happened if you guys had not written. Keyboard contacted Brandon Vaughn about his interview with Jordan Rudess. Again, they were not interested until people started writing. But no word back from them yet. So, if you have not written these two, please do so. We need all the help we can get to push these guys to a decision. Nothing from GuitarOne or Warner Bros. We still need to keep writing them. Someone mentioned to me this was a naiive approach at getting the band publicity ... that we should be focusing on the bigger magazines like Spin and Rolling Stone. But, my primary interest is getting them back into the musicial publications first. If we can get up enough email action, stir the pot sort of speak, then maybe we might be ready to tackle a big publication. So even if you don't play that specific instrument, please consider helping out. All it takes is an email ... what 5 minutes of your whole life to email all 4 of these companies? Then maybe we can work on getting John Myung some more publicity. Mike P...maybe ... he gets a lot in Modern Drummer already. Then tackle the big guns. Don't know what I'm talking about regarding the petition? Don't have the email addresses I posted earlier? Go to the Petrucci Files Website at www.snowhill.com/~bvaughn/petrucci.htm and go under the News section. It is all there. Or email me at email_address_removed and I'll send you that info. Shred on!

I'm sorry for you, the single is good and with an optimal ratio (here in Italy is about 5 dollars for 40 minutes of music!)

Message-ID: <001801bf951a$cb5cd410$0201010a@chuck> There's not much left of Saigon Kick anymore. They released(?) a new album last year called "Bastard" whose status I'm still vague on. I've been too lazy to keep up with them lately. From what I've heard that album was never released, was released only in Japan, hasn't been recorded yet, blah blah. They came out with a greatest hits album last year... Jason has done a side project called "Jason' (heh) that is very similar in sound to Saigon Kick (mostly) and is exceptionally good. Recently, Jason's time has been tied up with another project of his, Super Transatlantic. Pat Badger (Ex-Extreme) and Pete Dembrowski (who played on SK's DitD album) are in the band with Jason last I heard. Jason's also been putting in alot of time as a producer for alot of new groups in the Florida area, too... For more information, hit http://www.bvbmusic.com/ and that should give you the latest. :) I think. heheheh. -- KorgX3, Saigon Kick fan(atic) since 1993.

My first search yielded no DT. The second search only brought up "Ytsejam". My third search brought up all kinds of shit. On to the point of this message! Are any of you Napster users with a lot of DT shit on your PCs? I've noticed that DT fans are very... incestuous in how they share the music. Basically, given the size of the jam, it's entirely possible that a lot of you are active Napster members. Am I right? If anyone cares, my user name is cybertrent. Anywho, I'm out like disco. ===== *Trent AIM- el trento ICQ- 65190048 Sometimes I wish I was a donut __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

There are jumps and pops and loud bangs pretty much throughout the whole thing. I had a copy that I tried to clean up, but from what I heard it didn't help much. I would advise the St. Louis show.

I am a percussionist so I barely have an idea of what that is... anyway he thinks JP cant do that or something. I could just be dumb in wondering this, but can John do that kind of stuff? ?

I am a recent subscriber to the Ystejam list so you might have heard this question before. I recently got this video tape in the mail from a guy off of ebay. It contains 5 hours of Dream Theater stuff like videos and live shows. My question is about the first part of the tape with has Majesty on it. It looks like it was recorded in 1988(?) and features all of our guys including a short Dio-like guy, I assume this is Charlie Dominici(sp). They play three songs (1 instrumental and 2 with lyrics). The instrumental sounds kind of like Ystejam and I don't recognize the lyric songs. I was just wondering if you jammers had info on this tape like where and when it was shot or what songs they are playing? I tried to look up the info on the Official Site but I couldn't find anything.
