He insists on "heavy" and on "experimental" - he (again) confirmed me that the Metropolis 2 [the 1996 original demo with Derek] won't see the light of the day - the official bootleg status is still pending, he has no time to do them right now - the band playing were Regency (very great stuff), ARK (acoustic show, outstanding performance with great vocals) and Pain of Salvation (1st part of PE, some old songs and the end of PE). - at the end, Mike played with pain of salvation and did some impro (including some reggae stuff) - they had a home video of the recording of the next album (ala M2) but there was some problem and we couln't watch it. I saw 1 min of it and there was John exposing his new haircut ----------- Cool stuff, eh?

I have, however, taken a non-DT fan friend to two RMP clinics (Carle Place, NY and Berklee). . . She said that the music wasn't her style, but she had a good time and can understand why I enjoy it. She also said that the music reminded her of "purple unicorns grazing in a flower filled meadow." Sometimes it's best just to nod and smile when such things are said. :-) Michele ----- "The road paved with good intentions does not always lead directly to hell; sometimes it detours via Broadway."

Message-ID: Is anyone else experiencing/annoyed by the Jam not coming every now and then, and then all of a sudden having about a hundred messages in your inbox? I'm in ACK mode, and about every other week or so there'll be two or three days where no messages will come, and then I get around a hundred of them at once. Since I'm in ACK mode, I shouldn't be affected by the not-enough-messages-to-complete-a-jam syndrome, should I? As far as I know, every message goes to the ACK users as soon as the main server or whatever gets the message. Anyone know what's up? Maybe it's shut down while they try to get the SPAM filters in place? Has this even happened to anyone else?

Good stuff. :-) Typos can be very amusing sometimes :) ]From "Christopher W. Ptacek" > This album is by NO MEANS heavier than anything pre-Youthanesia. It's > over-produced, and the sound is compressed beyond comprehension. It's funny, but the only significant improvement over Risk that I heard on the new Megadeth CD was the drum sound. Everything else Chris said was, as usual, well thought out and correct. > this new Megadeth that writes hard rock, primarily. It occurred to me that Mustaine's voice isn't very well suited for hard rock. The best hard rock vocal he's recorded, IMO, was "Almost Honest" (which was very good). When I listened to the new one, I kept thinking to myself that the vocals sounded contrived and forced. His voice is angry, not rockin' - and angry goes with metal much better than hard rock. Oh well - I hope Dave and Dave "Crush 'Em" all the way to the bank. They've certainly earned it over the last 15 years. I just hope I can find someone that wants to buy this CD from me.

Cashman" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Progpower USA 2.0 (Superior is confirmed) Message-ID: Hadn't seen this mentioned yet, so here it is.... After the great success of Progpower USA last February, Glenn returns with a vengeance! :) ProgPower USA 2.0 -will- be held Nov. 9-10 at Earthlink Live (formerly the Center Stage) in Atlanta, Georgia. Glenn Harveston, who successfully ran Progpower USA to great reviews and brought us the chance to see Pain of Salvation, Evergrey, Symphony X, Zero Hour and a buncha other great power- and progressive metal bands, is doing it again in a larger place (hooray!) My roommate Tim Hurd and I helped arrange the schweet venue. :) ** The first band confirmed so far is Superior, from Germany. Longtime Ytsejammers will remember well the old days, when their outstanding CD "Behind" was offered to the subscribers here -first-. ** Here's some details..... (No, the roster isn't completely set yet. Yes, I know some of the bands we're considering. YES, it will kick ass. :D) --Earthlink Live is a GREAT venue for the show. It holds 1,200 (400 on the floor, 800 comfortably seated). It's an indoor mini-amphitheater that doesn't have a bad seat in the house. Classy decor, plenty of room for band tables and vendors, etc. There are two full bars and one beer-bar. (I was there for our walk-through, and the renovations and improvements surprised me...and I'd seen shows there before.) --The venue is in Atlanta's midtown. You can fly into the airport and catch the rapid-rail right from the airport terminal to within 2 blocks of the venue -and- the nearby hotels. $2 or less fare; no car rental required! You just can't beat that. It's also within a few blocks of Atlanta's Brookwood Station, for AMTRAK. Glenn will announce discount hotel rates later. --It will be an all-ages show with general admission. --The stage is huge, with an elevation of 4 feet. This will eliminate the biggest concern ("We couldn't see that low stage") of many Progpower USA attendees. --A professional light/sound company will be doing the show; the venue has an excellent sound system and state-of-the-art, intelligent stage-lighting. They have worked for everyone, from Dream Theater to Duran Duran. (DT played this same venue wayyy back on the I&W tour, and liked it.) --Tickets will remain $50 for both nights. Individual one-day passes will be available for $25. --There will be a limited number of advance tickets that Glenn H. will sell directly. Those who purchase from Glenn will receive a laminated badge, drawings for autographed items, and a $5 coupon towards the festival t-shirt (no reductions this year). The remaining tickets will be placed on sale through TicketMaster a few weeks later. --A date for ticket sales has not been set yet. Those who bought tickets to the last show will be given first notice (but, keep your eye on the Net and you should hear pretty quick anyway :)). --Discussions are underway taking place with several well-known acts. We hope to have the roster complete within the next 6 weeks. --Pictures of the venue will eventually be posted for everyone to see. --Indy bands, please hold off on contacting Glenn about a spot. He is focusing strictly on headliners and sponsors at the moment. --Currently, we expect to have five bands each night with the shows starting between 6pm-7pm. This way, you can check out Atlanta during the day. I was there with Glenn for the venue walk-through, and the facility is terrific. The interior appointments are quite classy and elegant, there's a full bar, plenty of room for band merch sales and vendors, etc. The hall itself is like a mini-amphitheater, with comfortable seats and a nice, high stage. This is the same venue Dream Theater played here early on (I&W tour I think), and it's the one James Labrie compared oh-so-favorably with the Masquerade. Something else Glenn didn't mention -- Earthlink Live has an excellent sound system and modern, intelligent stage-lighting. It's within walking distance of several hotels (stay tuned for discounted rates) and some restaurants and it's within walking distance of the rapid-rail North-South line, which links right to Hartsfield Airport in the terminal -- $2 or less will get you to the venue and the hotels. It just doesn't get much easier. Oh, I'd like to give kudos to my roommate Tim Hurd (who knows damn near -everyone- in the music industry in this city, and elsewhere, too) for helping to hook the deal up. :) -- +--- Paul W.
