I bought Nightwish's "Wishmaster" last Friday and totally worship it. I dare say it's their best, all the songs are absolutely brilliant. I'd say that the band has grown (and Tarja's grown more beautiful), the music is maybe less "strato" than on "Oceanborn", very powerful and beautiful. The Finnish version of the CD has a 3D cover that works very well.

At the two UK shows I saw, they had TVs sitting on the front of the stage, and much larger screens suspended from the ceiling behind MP's drunkit.

In Europe they had the drum machine playing along as on the album, but Mike joined in on real drums towards the end to heavy it up a bit. I thought this was awesome.

In the beginning of the tune, I hear the opening riff from Home when the whole band kicks in. I haven't listened to a lot of tool, so I only recognized it as the Home lick. Also on the boot, before James sings, Petrucci plays the guitar line from New Millenium. I just thought that they incorporated these ideas into other songs. If anyone has this version, let me know what you think. =====

Well, it's not EXACTLY a drum machine. It's Jordan's keyboard, acting as a sequencer. I remember reading about this somewhere... They didn't want Mike playing for the reason that it was such a simple beat that they wanted something like the keyboard playing it. ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh email_address_removed http://cout.dhs.org/ Cloak on IRC ICQ: 2513441 ------------------------------------------------- I like to go down to the dog pound and pretend that I've found my dog.

Very influenced by DT but they rock. I just bought Day 4 Night from Spocks Beard, and this is a band I have a feeling I am gonna get into big time. Put it this way, I listened to the disc 3 times in a row yesterday. If you like Transatlantic, you will love this band. Kurt NP-Metallica Creeping Death (Woodstock 99 CD i got for 8 bucks yesterday) Which reminds me, Blockbuster video is phasing out their music sections, a shitload of stuff is 9.99. I got the double woodstock CD and the double live CD from DMB for 8 bucks a piece. (employee discount) I will make a comment about woodstock, this may seem shocking. Listening to veryone live, Korn of all people put on the most energetic perfomance. Metallica played the longest, but Korn had some energy. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

No operatic vocals, please. "No operetic vocals" is a little vague. Do you like old Queensryche? Do you like Dream Theater? Or do you only want Pantera-style vocals? Let's assume that you can stand a little "good" operetic style in the vocalist. (As for Shadow Gallery, many people don't like those vocals. You're not alone there.) Try these: Pain of Salvation - Entropia (Enough said.) Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy (Neo-classical prog metal. Great vocals, great composition, shredding guitar.) Spock's Beard - The Light (Not metal, more like classic prog rock.) Vanden Plas - The God Thing (Very much like Awake-era Dream Theater) Conception - Flow (A little less progressive, shorter songs, but good metal.). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

One of the similarites between Tool and DT is writing songs which "grow" or build to some sort of climax. Sometimes it's very subtle. You'll find that Tool does this just as much as DT. One of the reasons I like both bands. > Aenima came out in 1996, SFAM in 1999. Did DT rip off the riff? Does Howdy Doody have a wooden ass? Is the Pope a catholic? I'm sure the guys in DT would be the first to admit that the beginning of Home is a "Tool" riff. Of course the rest of the song is ripped from Metropolis Pt. 1. ;o) my $.02, BH __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!

Message-ID: I thought the only Met2k shows were West Palm, Orlando, Ybor(Tampa), and here in Jax. Although the West Palm show venue was supposedly at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater. Pompano is near Miami, but I never heard of that venue there or in West Palm Beach. West Palm and Pompano are like 75 miles apart. I used to live down south and saw shows just about everywhere. Anyone that can clarify? Any other Jammers at the Jax show besides me? Better yet ,any of the afore mentioned folks that just happened to record the show? Even if it's total sh-t, I'd like a copy. By the way, with all the Nightwish talk, I searched (unmentionable word rhymes with mapster) and d/l'd a few songs. AWESOME!!!!!!! On payday, I'm gonna have to go to my local music store and do me some special orderin'!! I'm on this female singer kick all of the sudden. I didn't even know these bands existed before the Jam. Also, in the chick vocalist thread a jam or two back did anyone mention Flowing Tears? Between them, The Gathering, Lacuna Coil, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian,and Strapping Young Lad, I'm thinking Century is THE label.

Portnoy Sig Cymbals Message-ID: I made a blunder-once again. I know I said I downloaded the Miami show, but me, being the goofy nuts I am, meant to write Orlando. I got it from Lines In The Sand. Sorry for all the confusion! About Mike's signature line of cymbals. I'm not a drummer, (well...meaning I don't play drums in a band...but I can play..just not incredibly well), and I absolutely LOVE these cymbals. My drummer, Jay, has all 6 of the cymbals, the 3 stax and the 3 splashes. Ever since he got these, his sound has filled out so much more. He uses them in just about every song. They work well in everything. The only stax I could see that would recieve some damage would be the Low Stax, which is a 10' splash and a 12' Kang. I doubt it would crack the edge, but the way it's set up, it just may. The other two stax wouldn't get a dent because there is a bottom lip on the tops and bottoms, (like sticking two china's back to back), so it's basically the same thing as keeping them the normal way. So far, the only gripe I've noticed about the splashes, are that they mark really easily. My drummer had them for a day and they had stick marks everywhere on them. It's too bad these cymbals don't come in a brilliant finish...(Unless you steal them from Mike's set :-) ) Get them all!!! Jay is considering placing another Low Stax on the other side of his set, so he can have one on each side...(he's in competition with Mike on who can have the largest set...although I'm sure Bozzio wins that one...)

He's the first jazz guitarist I ever REALLY got into (well, Mike Stern, but he's more fusion-y), possibly because he wanks a lot. ;) But seriously, this guy's technique is unreal ... I'd recommend downloading some clips from "Like That". I hear he also has an instructional video out there somewhere. >An example of "mistake" would >be "Carved in Stone" by Shadow Gallery, THAT was a mistake! I respect your opinion here, but for some reason I always feel the need to put in a good word for SG. Yes, Mike Baker's vocals often make my skin crawl and even occasionally cause my stomach to do backflips, but if you pretend he isn't there, and you ignore the GODAWFUL guitar sound (too tinny and weak, even on Tyranny), the MUSIC (which I believe is usually what matters ;) is very well done. And yes, they sound VERY MUCH like DT, but in my very humble opinion, they don't do a bad job of sounding that way. If you haven't used the CD as a frisbee or beer coaster yet, I recommend giving it another shot ... just try to listen "around" the vocals, and you might find something you like. >From: Dave M Klint >Subject: "Home" and "Forty Six and Two" Glad to see someone else discovering Tool. As for the similarities between FSaT and Home, I wouldn't be surprised if that was done consciously by the band, and that doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes you pay tribute to your influences in very obvious ways ... listen to the last few seconds of DoE, and hear the tip-of-the-hat to Rush ("Free Will"). DT are one of those bands who have enough of an "original" sound and collective creativity that they can "borrow" things like this from other artists and use them to create something entirely different. For the first month or so after I bought SFAM, I heard the Tool influence in "Home", but since then, I haven't thought anything of it. It's actually become one of my favorite DT songs. ~Brian ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 May 2000 08:44:28 CEST From: "Stefan Zell" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Listen to new Wolverine-songs...
