Message-ID: Hey everyone, how's it goin'? I too had the pleasure of attending the Petrucci/Rudess show in Nyack, NY and it ROCKED!!!!!!!! Anyway, afterward they were out signing autographs and what not, and looking for something to generate conversation I asked John if they happened to be Queensryche fans at all and he said (something to the effect of): "Yeah, we were gonna tour with them actually - we had it all lined up for August, and then they pulled out to tour with Iron Maiden." I couldn't f*ckin' believe it. That would've been THE f*ckin' show!!! But hey, if you gotta tour with Maiden, you gotta tour with Maiden I suppose. Dream Theater will still be around for a while, while you never know about Maiden as it is (those damn reunions!!). Just thought you all might like that tidbit of what might have been...He sounded disappointed about it too. According to KNAC.com, Queensryche is going to tour in support of their Greatest Hits album. Called the Electric Shockwave Tour. I don't see anything on their site about Iron Maiden, or on Iron maiden's site either. So who knows, maybe it's not for sure yet. Perhaps Dream Theater's will still line something up with them sometime, 'cause it sure as hell would rock. Imagine Geoff Tate and James Labrie singing together if they did...would be quite the spectacle. Anyway, back to work.....ttyl!

I don't know about you Dan, but I thought those shirts were pretty lame. After years of doing half-ass work, I have a discrimating eye for mediocrity and that was it. The petrucci shirt was pretty good(cool logo!) but the rudess/petrucci shirt was a bit below par. I did think it was great that they even had shirts, though. That was a pleasant surprise even if they slightly blew, and my hunch is that the blowage occured not because of a lack of skill on anyone's part, but simply a lack of time and funding - we're talking benefit function, here. I guess with that in mind, it was damn cool to have any shirt at all. But guess what, folks, everything else about that show ROCKED ASS. Like Dan said, they played a littl LTE. Also, Jordan improved and John did a "Flight of the Bumblebee" thing reworked for extra crunchiness. it was cool to know that all the music was written in a hurry and the guys had little to no rehearsal time. Between seeing him at a clinic last year and now this, I will say w/certainty that John is the comedian of the bunch. Classic line of the night - in response to an audience member hollering "we're not worthy!" - John says, "no, no...we're not READY". The one disappointment - I didn't see portnoy in the crowd. c'mon, man, it's two towns over! jeez - is the rt. 59 landfill THAT BAD??? ok, I better do some work now.

I saw them open up for Dream Theater actually, back in 1993 (1/7/93 at the Chance in Poughkeepsie, to be exact). At the time, I couldn't figure out why MP was stading in the wings perfectly air drumming to every song... now it makes sense. :-) But at the time, I don't think that MP or JP were either married to Marlene and Rena... I think they were just dating then. I actually found them to be quite good... good enough to go out and hunt down their material afterward. Nothing really all that proggy or anything, just really cool power metal. The album for sale on eBay ("Roadkill") was their only officially released album, AFAIK. I have it, and it's not too bad, albeit a little cheesy at times. I found a used copy of the "Roadkill" cassette, and I scored a couple of demos they did after "Roadkill" from a dude who happened to be dating the lead singer at the time. They did a couple of 4-trackers with some great stuff on it. There's a tune on the 1989 demo of theirs that seriously reminds me of "Beyond the Realms Of Death" by Priest. They also played it when opening for DT, and I thought it kicked ass. They also did a slamming version of Heart's "Barracuda" in concert, and it later appeared on their 1992 demo. The 1992 demo was GREAT, not to mention it was produced by MP himself. I still play that demo quite a bit to this day. AFAIK, the band was just about to secure another record deal on the strength of their 1992 demo, when they broke up. It's a damn shame too, because they were getting better and better with each release. Does anyone know if there's a Meanstreak website or fansite out there? I've searched for a long time now, and I can't find a single one. Hope this helps...

The Jazz III's are teardrop shaped picks that I've only seen in two (not into, damn homonyms!) styles. One is a red, smooth pick and one is a black, rough pick. And I've only seen then in the 1mm variety. Personally, I prefer Big Stubby 1.5mm's. I know that using these I could never aspire to be as good as Petrucci, but that's the price you've gotta pay for comfort I guess. As far as strings go, I use .09 - .42 D'Addario's. Not because they're the best, just because that's what was on sale at the music store. :p -- KorgX3 sticks an ego in his CD player and cooks it with the laser.

No, I've never met Geddy. He keeps turning down my offers of lump sums of money in exchange for him to fly over here to give me ugly lessons.

Hybrids like this are popular amo= ng the shredders because the extra thickness of the low three strings means they don't twang during the heavy rhythm stuff, yet the top three strings are light enough for good bends and vibrato during lead passages. Personally I use .09 - .42 because I don't get so many problems with twanging, although I'm thinking of switching to the hybrids. The thicker lows also hold there pitch to a better degree when picked. I used to play standards (.10 - .46) but kept breaking the top three stri= ngs because they wouldn't hold for all the wide string bending I was doing. > -compadre- > DTaholics anonymous > "We Care" Hope this helps. Also, some people were talking about Jazz IIIs. These are the only picks I'll use, although I have trouble with reds slipping out of my hand durin= g long picking runs, blacks are better. Some people just can't get on with them though. I've spoken to people who've complained that they find them = too small; but I just find anything else too big. I find with a Jazz III, I c= an get in real close to the strings, and find I have more control over the p= ick attack this way. It also useful for pinch harmonics because you need only twist the thumb in slightly to hit the harmonic. The difference between Jazz Is, IIs, and IIIs, is that the higher the number, the sharper the point on the pick. Is and IIs are waste of time, they're like picking with a coin (=E1 la Kurt Cobain). =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D In a world which your mind controls, belief is reality. email_address_removed - 1491970 - http://www.tdsmith.org =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2000 23:41:52 +0200 From: "Michael Pruchnicki (DE)" To: "'ytsejam@torchsong.com'" Subject: Re: Rena Sands/Marlene Portnoy (Meanstreak) Message-ID: Talking about Meanstreak, isn't John Myung's wife a Meanstreak member as well? - Mike ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2000 14:49:59 -0800 From: email_address_removed To: Subject: RE: Anathema Message-ID: Fucking a.

Anyone ever read a book called "Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground" (Moynihan/Soderlind)? Good read, a non-sensationalistic take on the black metal explosion, and the ensuing violence, that took place in Norway this past decade. It has all sorts of interviews with the parties involved, plus it gives a nice history lesson on metal in general, and its supposed Satanic connections. Consider it recommended.

He plays a gig here in tomorrow night and I was wondering if it is worth the $65 (thats a lot) to go see him, as Ive never heard him before. Ive heard good and bad things about him, but we get about one good fusion guy down here a year, so... Thanks ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 5508 **************************
