Of course they all have their own unique sounds and influences, but its still your same thing basically in terms of what they are doing. The thing was, when Nirvana came out, is you had all these guitar players, running round dressed in woman's clothing, playing a million notes a second, singing like the Fat Lady about red dragons and chicks and stuff (which of course we all love here) On the other hand you had all these ultra-depressing, suicide bands with this terribly thin, woosey sound and lots of awful keyboard beeps and stuff, also all dressed up like woman. Then Nirvana comes along, and its just a guy in a jersey, singing like a man, not pretending to be God and instead of marrying some super model he marries Courtney Love. And at the same time the music was really heavy and rocking, without getting into the ridiculous levels of death metal or anything. So people could relate to all this, and that's why they bought Nirvana's CDs and Nirvana became really popular. You see, its so simple it makes me wonder why I didn't think of doing it first. > OK, I'll agree about Dave Grohl's drumming, and the fact that Kurt Cobain had > a very intense voice that did carry a lot of emotion, but Alice in Chains, a > Led Zep band?

Message-ID: Andy misinterpreted my comment about Vai: >< >Steve doesn't release cd's to gain money or become a "Guitar God" ... I think the sarcasm in what I posted was missed here. I in no way doubt Vai's integrity as a musician (how could I possibly?!?!?!?!), and I know he releases music "for the right reasons." In fact, I wake up every day and am thankful for those reasons (with Vai, DT, and all of the other underappreciated musicians I'm crazy about). Steve has my utmost respect and admiration always. What I meant by what I said was that ANYONE who signs a deal with a record company and releases an album usually has some hope of cashing in on it (how high or low that hope falls as priority varies; I know with Vai, it's probably the last thing he thinks about). The "guitar god" part of the comment was also kind of a joke, in reference to Kurt's reference to Vai as a "guitar god." In fact, I hate that term to begin with. >He releases cd's because there's that market of his fans who foam at the mouth to >hear his playing, (I choke on the foam it get's so bad.) As do I, my friend. Believe that. By the way, to anyone who hasn't downloaded "Boston Rain Melody" from either Vai.com or Napster yet: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?! Check out this tune, it's already one of my favorite Vai songs! November 7th will be a good day. Peace, Brian ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 09:34:02 -0400 From: Jax To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: ProgPowerUSA Message-ID: Hey all, forgive me if this has already been discussed ad nauseum (yeah, I'm behind on scouring my 'jam digests, so sue me), but I was wondering who all is planning to go to this thing.

Michael Lee Firkins is one of the first guys to really nail this sound. Get is FIRST album. The rest are all a major disappointment, IMO. Jason Becker did a lot of this on Lil Ain't Enough (David Lee Roth) and on Perspectives... though a lot of the playing on this album is actually... Michael Lee Firkins. The techniques are not that complicated... they require a very solid legato ability, and a good sense of timing... but that's it. The thing is, I imagine this would be an extremely difficult thing to explain in text. Michael has an instructional video out that covers the techniques in extreme depth. There's a lot of great licks on the video. That may be the best way to learn it. I don't know of anyone who does it better than he does (though Jeff Beck sometimes does similar effects, and always has a great sound at it!) - Chris BTW: Cowgod: Your prototype 7 string almost certainly has a standard 7 string Edge trem. I have a prototype UV as well, and that's what it has. I think it was a few years after the release of these instruments that the Lo Pro was developed, and the Lo TRS didn't happen until Ibanez moved their guitar building to Korea, I think, which was probably like 96 or so. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 13:08:30 EDT From: email_address_removed To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 5640 Message-ID: << And btw, Nirvana did not get popular after dude's death. They were pretty big at the time too. It was only the commercial money hungry pigs that later turned his death into a cash machine. >> Nirvana was big after "Smells Like Teen Spirit" started it's regular airplay, but the band absolutely exploded once Cobain played with his at home dentistry set. Jimi Hendrix wasn't as big as he is now until he had died as well. <> Chances are, you have a Lo-Pro Edge. It's basically just the placement of the fine tuners. On the Edge's, they are pointed more towards the bottom of the guitar. On Lo-Pro's, they are face side up. Since Ibanez used mainly Lo-Pro's on all the UV's and early RG's, you probably have a Lo-Pro. However, they did do a small run of Edge loaded guitars. <> http://members.home.net/rlharris1/IBANEZRULES/index.htm This is Rich Harris. He's an Ibanez Broker/Seller/Trader. He'll answer your e-mails in about 15 minutes time, and he's the absolute greatest dealer I've ever talked to. (He looks great in stalkings as well...but that's another story.). Actually, ask him about your guitar, he'll give you exact production dates, colors, any differences, and probably even the serial number. :-) Also, if your looking for any UV7MC's, (Those famous swirl guitars that Vai used back in the day), he's got quite a few for sale. Check it out. LOVELY galleries and his PRIVATE stash of JS guitars will make you ill. (Ever meet anyone with 14 rare JS's?). <> HOLY FUCK!

Message-ID: I recently heard a rumor that Phish (one of my favorite bands) has broken up indefinately because they believed they were "losing their original fan-base". I guess they felt like they were becoming too main stream or somethin....kinda funny if you ask me....A band that doesnt want loads of exposure....Besides, as soon as I saw them on the cover of TV Guide, i knew somethin Phishy was up.... :) Just wanna see if there is any merit to any of this.. -Compadre- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 22:04:17 -0700 From: David Dixon To: "'ytsejam@torchsong.com'" Subject: FREE CD's - first come, first served...

However, both CD sets are in fine condition (little to no scratches, both play all tracks just fine), and DO include liner notes. See, I keep my CD's in Case Logic cases, and often misplace the original jewel cases. So, the first person to e-mail me their name & mailing address gets both discs (sorry, I won't separate them).
