Lol! I almost mentioned that the only difference was the vocals... Of course the unfortunate similarity between the two singers is that people like to complain about both of them. ;o) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Superior are FANTASTIC and to me are in a league far above Twilight in Olympus (note that I love V and DWOT, so this is no slam on SX .....). Truth-be-told, I dont want to start a discussion on whether the new Superior CD is better than the new DT CD because the results may be a little surprising. I do help Superior distribute their CDs in the US and Canada so I am biased but I will also will put my money where my mouth is. If you Chris love progressive metal and aren't afraid of a little heaviness every so often, I will personally give you a money back guarantee if you do not like what you get. Try Ultima Ratio which is US$18 postpaid and signed by the band. Here's the fine print. You have to agree to listen to the CD at least three times in full and with an open mind. If after listening to it you dont like what you hear, simply return it to me within two weeks of your receipt for a full refund of your $18. (Please dont trash the CD, cover or liners, eh ?? ....). CDs are available online from the band. You order there and I take care of getting the CD for you. Credit Card (new !!!) or Money Order. http://www.meet-superior.de/ In fact, I am so sure that I wont be getting anything back in the mail that for any NEW CD ORDER of Ultima Ratio from any Ytsejammer, I will offer the same "no-questions" money back guarantee to the whole of the list. Same fine print as above (and I will be a prick about the two-week thing - no exceptions). Just e-mail mail me when you order the CD to set this arrangement up. Note that Superior band members *do* lurk here and are about the shit a brick right now since I haven't spoken about any of this with THEM. But rest assured that it is me (Mark) who will take all financial risk for this and zero financial risk will be from the band. Their new CD is so good that it absolutely has to be heard. I dont expect any returns. CALL MY BLUFF - you will be glad that you did !!!!!

Add about $3 for S & H (check the precise amounts on their page, www.lasercd.com) and it doesn't end up being a bad price at all. All That I Bleed's cd is also available there for $12, Zero Hour's for $13, and Spiral Architect's for $13. Oh, and about DT on the CBS Morning Show, that's great news!!!!! What song do you think they would play? If it has to be a short song, I think they would play Misunderstood, without the end noise, but preferrably not the radio edit, although that edit isn't bad at all.

I'd recommend starting with Superior's "Ultima Ratio" which I think is a little more DT influenced (doesn't sound like DT though). They have a number of samples on their web site (www.meet-superior.de) so you can try before you buy.

He was almost always right on with the stuff he'd send, and one day he mentions Radiohead to me. He swore that I'd just love it. Of course, I listened to it, and I couldn't STAND it. I think he probably sent me 10 different songs, and I usually give every new song someone sends me 2 full listens before I start judging, but I just couldn't believe how far off he was with these guys. It completely boggled my mind. Fast forward about 2 weeks. I was feeling sorta melancholy and was listening to music while sitting online. I had just had a rough day at work and was trying to unwind, and started deleteing some of my mp3s because I hadn't cleaned them out in a while. Well, most of the mp3s this guy sends me are only the song titles because he burns them and never bothers changing the title of the file. That means that I had to listen to a few seconds of most of the songs before I deleted them, so that I didn't accidentally delete anything I wanted to keep. I start playing this song called, "Exit Music (for a film)" and almost immediately got caught up in it. After that, I listened to a song called "Lucky" and loved that one too, but I couldn't remember what band it was! I messaged my friend and asked who did them, since I knew he was the one who had sent them and he said, "Duh! That's Radiohead!" I couldn't believe it. I could've sworn that they sucked when I had listened last time. I asked what the other songs were that he had sent me and listened to them, and liked almost all of them. Hell, I even liked "Idioteque" and I couldn't figure out how it was possible I liked that song. The moral? I guess, IMO, most peoples' opinions on Radiohead seem to differ with their mood. It's not swinging, happy-go-lucky music. For me, it's reflective, because when I listen to it, it sets a tone. I don't listen closely to all the different parts. I absorb the atmosphere of the entire song. It definitely took several listens before I could appreciate what I was listening to, and I don't honestly know, if I hadn't been moody that day, I might have just deleted the songs. I'm pretty damn glad that I didn't though. :) Sarah _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 16:00:49 -0700 From: Thor To: Subject: Symphony X Message-ID: Can anyone connect me with Michael Romeo of Symphony X?

I had the 5 CDs I ordered from them last week.........last week. VERY fast service. Kudos to Andreas at The End! Their mail-order catalog is well-worth browsing online.

Message-ID: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: joe satriani news alert: stolen guitar! hi everyone, we are sad to be sending out this news alert but joe and his management wanted to send out an appeal to all of you fans out there to keep your eyes peeled for this stolen guitar. here's a message from joe that sums it all up: My "Pearly" Chrome Ibanez guitar was stolen last night during load out at the Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Fl. If anyone knows anything about this please let us know asap...Not much else to say...Joe... a reward of $500 is being offered, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. all joe is asking is to have the guitar brought to the venue and given to the hall or production manager. joe had two prototypes made by ibanez for the custom chrome guitar. both "Pearly" and "Chrome Boy" have been played extensively on tour and record. joe is obviously hopeful that the guitar will be recovered. here's a link to a recent picture of joe with pearly: http://www.satriani.com/2000/road/lwpg.cgi?showimg 02-08-11/P0003865.jpg if you have any other information about Pearly, please email email_address_removed (please don't reply to this email since it won't be seen) we appreciate you keeping your eyes open and ears to the ground. thanks, --webmaster |------------------| | Lisa Marie Palma | | email_address_removed | |------------------| ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 6294 ************************** === 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 ===
