The new Kamelot album is excellent; the band just keeps getting better and better. I wish they'd get a full-time keyboard player, though. As for the "Addition by Subtraction" album, that one is by the extraordinary triumvirate of Scott McGill (guitars), Michael Manring (bass) and Vic Stevens (drums), with guest performances by the one and only Jordan Rudess -- and it is absolutely scorching. If you love jazz-rock fusion in the vein of Allan Holdsworth, you must purchase this disc.

I agree completely. I can't even really imagine DT without James at the helm. He's a huge part of their wonderful sound, and also the success they've had. > Now about the review-The reviewer obviously wasn't a big fan of prog > in general which is why I think he judged DT so harshly in the review. I > won't blame P.O.S. for the review-they didn't utter a Blind Melon-esque > comment. I will give them a listen if I find something of theirs around. Definitely don't blame Pain of Salvation. They're fans of Dream Theater (they name Dream Theater as an influence). And yes, you really should check them out! They are absolutely the best (and most original) prog-metal band to come around since DT, at least IMO. - Joe D. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 23:33:15 -0400 From: "Paul W.

There are some similarities, but saying that POS has more soul and > emotion...that kind of discredits the whole review I think. I think the reviewer was using, as his DT yardstick, the "cold" feeling of I&W (having Mike's drums sampled and triggered didn't help) and DT's reputation, up through the I&W tours and the Awake recording sessions, as a relatively emotionless band. Clearly the reviewer hasn't watched the DVD. He clearly didn't see the animation that DT developed onstage after the addition of Derek Sherinian to their live setting -- you can say what you want about Derek, but there's no question he helped bring DT's live shows up a few notches in the "fun" department, and it looked as if the other guys in the band played off that; the result was a more laid-back live "feel." PoS more emotional than DT? Sure, quite possibly this is true. Their performance in Chicago was easily one of the best 5 concerts I've EVER seen. But DT has made huge strides since the cold, technical I&W days, and I think that reviewer overlooked this. -- +--- Paul W.

Apparently they looked much better in the LCD viewfinder than on a computer screen. :) Anyway, I put all the decent/good ones on my website at http://cout.dhs.org/g3/ so go check 'em out. As for the Boston G3 Boot that was supposed to go up at Lines in the Sand... Apparently our media server's network has been having some problems and so it's down right now. We don't know why it won't come back up or when it will come back up, so right now we're unable to upload the G3 show. Sorry. :( ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh email_address_removed http://cout.dhs.org/ ------------------------------------------------- The only stupid question is the one that is never asked, except maybe "Don't you think it's about time you audited my tax return?" or "But officer, isn't it morally wrong to give me a warning when, in fact, I was speeding?" ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 09:38:19 -0700 (PDT) From: "T.

Had on my canary yellow model for the rooftop gathering, then got so sweaty walking back to the car from Metro before the show that I decided to change into my old school(ax.com) black model. Someone outside the Warner, during one of the intermissions, asked me where in the world I got the shirt. hehe Told him they were long since gone. And yeah, thanks to Josh, and to Pat D.(he did the old one, I believe) for continuing the YtseShirt tradition. Kez, still on Cloud G3 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 05:12:02 +0300 From: "Nicholas Sakkos" To: "Ytsejam list" Subject: Re: Response to POS review (JL props) Message-ID: <000c01c10f2f$09fdebc0$92df6693@-----> >>My suggestion to you is this: go out to your local >used CD store (that is where you'll find all the grunge) and purchase as >much >nasty garbage as you can (i.e. Nirvana, uck) and then lock yourself in a >room >for a day listening to all of that garbage. > That is the worst suggestion I have ever heard.

Message-ID: For those of you who use AudioGalaxy, you should be aware that it has a Spyware component called 'webhancer'. This component uploads information about what web sites you visit to a remote site. Be very careful if you try to remove this webhancer program yourself since it can cause system problems if you don't do it correctly. See these web pages for more information. Details on how AudioGalaxy is Spyware: http://www.infoanarchy.org/?op=displaystory&sid 01/3/8/85932/50858 http://www.net-security.org/text/bugs/986812078,22787,.shtml Look to see if specific software you have downloaded is Spyware: http://www.spychecker.com/ Specific info on WebHancer near the bottom of the page: http://www.angelfire.com/rock2/thespiralarchitect/security.htm Also, there is supposed to be a way to remove the webhancer spyware from your system (and presumably still use AudioGalaxy). I have not tried it yet (I don't have AudioGalaxy). To remove it get AdAware 5: http://www.lavasoftUSA.com/ Steve ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 5905 ************************** === Contributions to ytsejam: ytsejam@torchsong.com === === Send requests to: ytsejam-request@torchsong.com === === Brought by the ghost of ytsejam@arastar.coms past === === Reach the owner of this list at: ytsejam-owner@torchsong.com ===
