I also thought he quit Fates Warning as opposed to being fired?

Thanks you guys just gave me more cd's to get. I am getting for xmas: Nevermore-Politics of Ectsasy Symphony X-Live at the edge.... Opeth-Blackwater Park We downloaded 2 OPeth songs, and I was floored.....that disc really looks interesting, is it some sort of concept album?

POSSIBLE SPOILERS? POSSIBLE SPOILERS? POSSIBLE SPOILERS? POSSIBLE SPOILERS? What's the harm in a warning huh? Hey all, couldn't resist myself and downloaded the title track the other day. While the track was 70 something Mb and took me about 5 hours (even if I have cable), I finally finished listening to it today! Here are my impressions: LOTS of influences here: from an obvious Metallica-ish (fast metally part), Deep Purple-ish (sometime around 30 minutes, the bluesy part), Symphony X / Rhapsody (hey... who COULDNT notice this? its a frickin orchestra song), possible some Spock's Beard. I'm not too sure about that. I wish I had the lyrics in front me, that makes a difference with DT, considering they dont sing about sucky girlfriends or other mainstream crap. Anybody know what 6doit is a reference to? It seems the song tells a story of some sort, I don't know of what. I got some satisfaction from Petrucci; some melodic solos as opposed to shred-fests. So that's good. My only problem with the new album NOW (hehehe I know I'm a complainer) is: a) no instrumental track (i know there were instrumental parts everywhere, but i like having a standalone track, ya know?) b) no complex portnoy rhythms! What happened to MP? has he lost his ability to 19/16 or wacky drum patterns that just make you go wow? I haven't heard a single one on all 6 tracks20 Ah well, there's always the new album in 2004... I think i'll be okay with this one for the time being (considering its not out yet!) merry christukkah everyone faithful jammer, M.S ---YTSEJAM FILTER: Rest of message skipped because of attachment ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2001 13:09:03 -0800 From: Scott Hansen To: Subject: a sad day in metal music Message-ID: Wow - this is a sad day.
