Luckily we got to West Palm at about 3 PM and had lots of time to kill. The Pompano Beach Amphitheater is actually a very nice place (actually in Pompano Beach, believe it or not), very "new" looking, but with a horrible policy of allowing SRO-type crowding in front of the stage, thereby blocking the view of those in the first couple of rows of actual seats. General admission and reserved seating do not mix well without separation of the two factions. To answer your other question: No, I didn't personally tape the near-Miami show. It wasn't as good as the HoB show at Disneyworld the night before, although the Dregs were a bit better, if that's possible (it was their last night on the tour, and they were pumped, and Steve Morse looked at me).

Hrmm that opening riff bugs me. Its just too much of a rip off. Its one things to notice little obscure bits, such as the Rush stuff, but a main riff like that should be totally original IMHO. That bit and the ultra-Floydish parts of Spriit Carries On really get to me. I do like the song, and I like all the references in the LTE stuff like the 'Run with the devil on spanish highway' riff in Acid Rain. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 May 2000 17:03:36 +0200 From: Andreas Skarin - SDTS To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 5479 Message-ID: <3922B4C8.628BE899@sdts.nu> Brian Larkin wrote: > Anyway, speaking of "trained jazz guys", those of you who are impressed > with JP's chromatic lines should listen to a guy named Jimmy Bruno.

In Yeah, they premiered this one on the mini-tour before FII. I didn't even recognize what it was supposed to be before James started singing the chorus. I saw all these other people singing along -- on the first night of the tour in Poughkeepsie -- and I remember thinking, "How has everyone here but me heard this?!" :) I thought it was way cool that that riff found its way into New Millennium. > 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 Someone tell me again what Tool song Home reminds everyone of? I think I need to start buying some of their stuff. On this topic, is it just me, or has DT gradually done a worse and worse job of masking their influences from album to album? I thought that the Floyd and Mallternica influences stood out on FII, but my goodness! It's so overt on SFAM. (Not that this is a bad thing, per se, just far more noticeable to me now.) --- > Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 15:36:39 +0000 > From: Jon Parmet > Subject: and i guess that's why they call it the blues... / unecessary zoom > > RIP, Stevie Ray. I second that one. He died during my first week away at college.

Very influenced by DT but they rock. I I dunno. The playing on this one is phenomenal, but I have had a hard time getting into the songs. They seem rather jumpy to me, with a whole lot of "because we can" sections. I understand that a lot of people are into that thing, but I'd rather hear well-written songs than well-written solos that were forced to fit. Reminds me of the Altura debate from years back.

Neal Morse just knows how to write a good song, whether it's 5 minutes long or 25 minutes. Spock's has that magical combination of extreme musicianship, wonderful songwriting, analog synths, and the great hook with huge harmonies. One of the best bands to come out in the 90s, if not the best. --- > Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 18:39:49 EDT > From: email_address_removed > Subject: Re:Oops...I did it again.

And yes, they sound VERY MUCH like DT, but My problems with SG are just about the opposite of yours. I actually like Baker's voice. But after a while, their songs all started to sound the same to me. With a couple of exceptions (Alaska comes to mind), it seems like they wrote one song and changed the lyrics twenty times. Maybe I'm being overly harsh on them, and maybe I just don't like the production of their stuff (which *does* all sound the same), but I just can't sit and listen to a whole SG album at once. I would really like to hear them branch out and try writing based on more, or at least different, influences. And record with a different producer. -d "I know what I like when I hear it" man NP: Trey Gunn/One Thousand Years ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Digital Man \|/ ____ \|/ "640 K ought to be enough email_address_removed "@'/ ,. \`@" memory for everyone." -Gates email_address_removed /_| \__/ |_\ "He won't need a bed http://www.dreamt.org/d-man \__U_/ He's a digital man" -Peart ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 May 2000 11:25:31 -0300 From: "Carlos Alfaro" To: Subject: Re: Korn @ woodstock Message-ID: <000d01bfc00b$c2321aa0$message_id_removed> > > > 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. Yeah..but i couldnt help but notice how much NEGATIVE energy they were pumping the crowd with.. same with Limp Bizkit. Now i know agressive metal usually makes you angry and hyper, but i think that as an artist, you should know when and how to work up your crowd like that. If you've seen the reports on the shit that went down on woodstock, most of the crazy, destructive shit started to happen during and after korns set..and when limp bizkit played break stuff (pure genious huh?) I know its normal to react to music, but i think that to be onstage while shit is going down and knowingly pump the crowd in that way..is just irresponsible.

Do you know how young they are? I didn't say they did very good, they DID mistakes, at times singing out of key, but ., I heard there were reasons for this. Yesterday there was an interview with the Macedonian organizor, and he was so pissed off to everybody there. He said nothing went ok like it was suppose to, like bad monitors, weird sound settings of the playback song. Some heavy politics involved in all the event. Again. I don't say we should've won, but the studio version of our song was miles better than many others. > (I thought Croatia and Turkey rocked hard, Bah, Croatia, expect the cute dude, the song was not THAT special. > not to mention our own swedish metal master Roger Pontare :)) He was the bearded Indian-like one all dressed up right?

My conscious would be much calmer if he won and not those brothers. Just listen the very first few seconds when the brothers singing begins in the song!!! I dunno if it's out of key or what, but I just know something is TERRIBLY WRONG there. Eurovision has certainly become an event that should be despised and ignored in future.

Rob - dunno if you know the background of CiA9ITG, but it was performed during the Fix for 96 shows, the 97 European tour and I believe the South American shos in Sept 97. Derek had been tinkering around with some sounds and one of the guys recommended using it as a ne intro for CiaW. Long story short, they ened up redoing the whole song that way. Later on, as they continued to write material for what would become FII, they took several pieces of CiA9ITG and created NM from it. Funny enough DT has been playing parts of CiA9ITG, intermingled with NM at the end of a medley they started playing in Europe on the M2000 tour (sometimes referred to as the Faliing Awake Into Liquid Seasons medley). ----------------- Brian Hansen (great last name!!) recommended: > Pain of Salvation - Entropia (Enough said.) Vocally on Entropia, there are parts of Daniel's vocals that remind me of Mike Patton (FNM) in a major way, but most of it is different. He does sound similar to some other vocalists as well, but i can't put my finger on them. They have quickly made it into my top 5 of favorite bands, after only having their CDs for a week. Fellow jammers were just talking about and recommending them a little while ago, which is why I picked their CDs up (thanx to all for putting me onto such an awesome band), so now I in turn agree - PoS is a must have in your CD collection! > Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy > (Neo-classical prog metal. Great vocals, great > composition, shredding guitar.) An easy way to describe Sy X is Dio w/ a less repetative, heavier Yngwie Malmsteen. Russell Allen's vocals are similar to Dio's, but do have some differences. If you enjoy Dio's vocals, you'll like Sy X.

My first post after about 6 years of lurking... On the night I saw them in Tokyo (5/16), Mike did say at the end of the show, "ARI-FUCKING-GATO!" That night there they also had a bit of a pseudo-Nightmare Cinema thing going. While JP was finishing off with the solo bit at the end of Take the Time, James took over on drums, and Mike grabbed JM's bass. JM just stood there, while Jordan stood by his keyboard. By the way, the setlist went something like this (I may have the order mixed up): M2 in its entirety Puppies on Acid Crimson Sunrise New Millenium intertwined with Caught in Alice's Nine Inch Tool Garden Erotomania Something from LTE 1 (forgot which) Something from LTE 2 (forgot which) Pull Me Under medley ending with TTT Think that's about it.
