It can be very monotonous sometimes, but there are bands that manage to keep it fresh, despite them all having double bass drumming on many parts of the songs. Bands like Kamelot, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Rhapsody, Angra, Symphony X (although they're a mix between prog and power) make excellent music that always sounds fresh, with excellent melodies and musicianship. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Those bands you've mentioned are pretty cool, but they are just the tip of a mighty big ice berg. European power metal is still the best, bands like Sonata Arctica [Ecliptica] have breathed new life and kicked the ass of several of those old stale sounding bands you mentioned. -- Best regards, Graham mailto:email_address_removed.au ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2001 13:40:40 +1000 From: "Sergey Shilov" To: Subject: steve vai Message-ID: <000401c170cc$70bc1c20$288a3bd5@guest> hi guys new info to those who like steve according to century media there are two new vai discs STEVE VAI - ALIEN LOVE SECRETS (DVD) $20.00 DVD A moodier, more atmospheric collection of songs from this guitar virtuoso.

"His behind-the-head guitar solo was so wicked," said Jimmy Hetzel, 11, one of six children blown away by Vai's fretboard wizardry. "He also did this thing where he held the guitar between his legs and played it with a bow." The impromptu performance is believed to be the most impressive display of its kind since September 2000, when Joe Satriani "showed off a few licks" at a Southfield, MI, bar mitzvah. >> Brian [NP...SnakeNet Metal Radio] =========================================================== WB Henderson [ email_address_removed ] Automaton Hit Parade (prog-radio): http://ahp.musicpage.com/ Metalmaton Grit Patrol (metal-radio): http://www.wixq.com/metal/MGP/ WIXQ ON-LINE: http://www.wixq.com/ WIXQ-METAL: http://www.wixq.com/metal/ =========================================================== ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 6026 ************************** === 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 ===
