I agree totally with people who think that this song goes great with rock songs. Hell, lots of classical music songs mesh excellently with rock...especially metal and prog rock stuff. The two go together perfectly methinks. It's probably my favorite classical tune, it evokes just tons of emotions...very powerful. ..And now back to my regularly scheduled listening to Dream Theater's Opus Magnum "SFAM." hehehe ------------------------------------------------------ Wesley Foll, Geology B.S., Loma Linda University email_address_removed email_address_removed email_address_removed email_address_removed ICQ #4550740 ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2000 15:54:12 -0700 From: James Chris-SC4473 To: "'ytsejam@torchsong.com'" Subject: RE: Phoenix show Message-ID: In regards to the Phoenix show: I've lived here in AZ for a year and I have liked DT since I&W came out. However, I do not know anyone who likes them as much as me. Some say they are ok, and the others don't like them or Rock (can you believe that??). Anyway, I was looking for someone to meet either at the show or to go to the show with. I live in the east valley area and I work at Motorola. I was not looking forward to going alone, but I am looking forward to the show. I am not looking for a date or anything, I just have not made many friends yet here. I am from Detroit, 33, male and married. Anyway, thought I might take a chance. I've seen some of the postings here, so please don't reply if your only going to chastise me. Maybe someone out there is in the same situation.

I have something like relative pitch and know when I dial a wrong number in the same way ;) As for SF show, I think I'll be there if I can. If anyone who doesn't know me sees a tall woman with long blonde hair wearing a lot of leather, chances are it's me, provided I am there. And to think, last time I saw DT, I got a mild case of frostbite.. ~~Amanda ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2000 20:26:57 EDT From: email_address_removed To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: Kez, you b*stard...

You could always go to Guitar Center Tempe, play the solo to Under a Glass Moon on five different guitars through the dual rectifier and meet some fans that way...or wear DT tour shirts wherever you go...and there's always the legacy of Mike Bahr bootlegs, which were produced right here in the valley. And then there's this Big Ass Forum. It's usually your best bet. :) I'm up for a pre-show party at Cooperstown resturaunt. Hooters' food at the Arizona Center just sucks. Or, if there are any objections (okay, cover charges suck but it's just an idea), we could meet at Le Girls cabaret! }:^D Web Theater is on Van Buren and 5th street, I believe. Lots of options for grabbing a few drinks before or after the show (before is usually more convenient) as there are NUMEROUS pubs/bars/7-11's in the area. Mr. Voras, Mr. LuPone, Uncle Dave, I know yall are reading this! Let's get some organization going here! :) Send emails to here or at email_address_removed if these seem like good ideas! We never see each other anymore! *sob* What the hell happened to Mike Bahr anyways? ~Eckie wonders how much a Diamondbacks jersey with the majesty logo on the back would run him PS- I'm older and wiser now.

In this difficult moment I've been thinking of some words to comfort all those who worry about the future and to explain a reason for all this. For there's one single reason: the loyalty to an idealism. Angra was born on real friendship and lots of dreams within. Many of them came true, thank to the help and care of all those who followed us around the world: fans, press, business people... We reached out a level we could never expect and there would have been much more to conquer... So, problems started out. Frequently we'd been having serious discussions with our management in Brazil. There was a period, right before Fireworks, when the confidence in each other seemed already ruined - and that almost caused the split then. However, with promises that everything would be cleared and fixed up, we gave ourselves one more try. Those were just vain words. Although we've accomplished both the record and tour, what we saw then was a lot of misunderstanding and falsity, and the band being forced to face it all just as "business". It was the beginning of a big disharmony between us, the members. And of course, it would also reflect on the musical side. For me, the name Angra - which now belongs to the manager - always meant professionalism and quality. Somekind of magic that we can't explain... And I just couldn't watch it die. I just wouldn't say I stay in the band and do "one more record" for the sake of money. If once we ever told the press that the day we would be no longer creative we should stop, that's the time. I believe myself as a musician and I believe we shouldn't betray our very instincts and that's why I'm having this attitude. Of course, I worry about the many fans who feel lost now, but one thing is to be said: I'm not dead and I feel even stronger now! And I won't let you down. Now the plans point to Virgo (which actually has nothing to do with the Angra split...) - But the future keeps an open door with my friends Luis Mariutti and Ricardo Confessori, who left the band for the same reasons as me. We three think we shouldn't let the angel fall and although we might not keep the Angra name, we keep all the rest. Thank you very much for your friendship and understanding and can't wait to meet you all again around the world!! All the best, Andre Matos ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Yes, its over now....DAMN IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2000 23:09:42 -0700 From: Eckie To: Ytse Jam Subject: Oh, and another thing Message-ID: Is there anybody on this list affiliated with www.shredi.net? I don't want the domain name, but the radio tower image used for the logo looks suspiciously similar to the image I designed for Ytseradio a while back. It could be a silly coincidence, of course.

Give me back my damn elm and Ubi shell account, damnit. :) As for NYC plans -- some had mentioned a pre-show gathering. I'd kinda like to get in line early and maybe even get in front during the show. This has become a bit of a tradition for me at DT shows lately (Atl. Tabernacle, Orlando HOB, Chicago HOB, Atlanta Masquerade....) One thing I've learned, especially from that Chicago show: NEVER eat or drink heavily before a show. :) -- +---- Paul W.

(located within a block of the venue) We'll be there between 1:30 - 3:30 woofing down pizza and beverages.. (Adult beverages for those of age) I have a finite supply of backstage passes available (and several of those are already spoken for) so I'm thinking about distributing them in a raffle... Or perhaps a little YtseQuiz. :-) We'll play that one by ear. I'd HIGHLY recommend making the pre-show meeting. Weather Update: It's going to be HOT and HUMID in the afternoon so consider that when selecting concert wear.. For identification purposes, I'll be wearing a FII hat backwards.. :) I'll also be wearing the matching blue FII concert T and sporting DARK sunglasses.
