Portnoy has said, however, that it was one of the things that attracted him to Phish. He liked it and how it kept the music fresh, etc... I'm just saying that Phish's variety definitely rubbed off on DT...

Hey - it's >Phish!!! Can't say either way on full album covering, but bands have been changing up their set nightly for decades.

Seen them 3 times. They were great each time. It is funny how some people react to their stage show. I have heard people whine how they don't move, or "I couldn't see Maynard". Here's my reaction to the whining......come on people isn't great flawless music enough for you. Well I guess thats enough of my whining about other peoples whining :) Pam ------------------------------ Date: 25 Oct 2002 00:33:18 +0000 From: Graham Borland To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: DT doing Maiden reviews please!!!!!!!

How did James sound? It sounded incredible, and James was the star of the show. He was singing out of his skin, and his performance as a frontman was the best I've seen him do.

Carey's drumset was elevated to the point where you couldn't see him anymore, and BOY his drumset was large... Maynard was in some sort of latex suit painted half blue and half white, and to one side was Justin (bassist) in all white and to his other side was Adam (guitarist) in all blue. They put on a nice show indeed... not to mention that the opening band sucked bigtime... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael & Pamela Nazer" To: "Multiple recipients of list" Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 7:40 PM Subject: Re: Tool sucks?

"Supposed lyrics: I know the pieces fit... Actual lyrics: "I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing, pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion disintegrating as it goes testing our communication the light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so we cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication." What I'm sure you mean to say is you don't like them, or that they don't suit your tastes... because saying they suck just shows that you refuse to tolerate music that doesn't appeal to you, which is untrue I'm sure... There are plenty of bands out there I'm tempted to say suck, but even quasi-musicians might like them, so I just resign to the fact that either everyone is good in someone's ears or everyone sucks. Or I just say "hey this is what I like, and its too bad you dont like it.", instead of "this is what i like and everyone else sucks". Being a fan of such an 'obscure' (I use the term loosely) band like DT and the likes, you should know that not everyone will cling to whatever you make them listen to. A lot of people will just dismiss DT or the likes and say that they suck, when we ALL know that they clearly dont. What does that mean? Everyone who says they suck is stupid? Not quite... just they have a poor choice of words. If they truly mean that a band that obviously has profound musical talent sucks, then sure I guess they are stupid =) But most of them tend to mean that they just dont like it. It's just too much for some people to wrap they unprogged simple brains around... m.S ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurt Hampton" To: "Multiple recipients of list" Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 11:02 PM Subject: Re:tool > they suck.

Don't take any information on that site too seriously ;) Danny's bio is quite funny though,makes it worth the read . For real info , try http://toolshed.down.net Anyway , all this talk about Phish has stirred up my curiosity . Do you people recommend "you enjoy myself" for a first contact with the band ? Could you tell me of a song to download ? I'd like to have a listen first before it gets to my shopping list , since opinions are so varied . Lastly , somewhere in the beginning of this thread , James Lutz wrote "So your saying, people who try to be different become the same? Can you put down the joint before you start typing please. . ."

Not my personal cup of tea. Do you know which album you were downloading stuff from? Because the albums Stupid Dream and In Absentia are absolutely without a doubt much heavier than any of their other stuff. It's also quite a bit varied in terms of style. When I first heard them, I was listening to Stupid Dream, and the first description of them I came up with was that they were a mix of Pink Floyd, Kevin Moore, Coldplay, and Radiohead. Personally, I absolutely love them, and In Absentia is probably going to be my Best Of 2002, unless The Odyssey happens to blow me away, which it very well may do. ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh - http://cout.dhs.org/ email_address_removed ------------------------------------------------- Baggage checker: Has anyone put anything in your luggage without your knowledge?

I've had it in my car for the last 2 weeks solid. Every time I left the house I'm jamming. With AudioGalaxy, it doesn't tell you which album you get the mp3s from, unfortunately. It was web-based and the key field is the song title itself... Hopefully they've gotten heavier since the material I heard :) But nothing else is better than Symphony X's new CD !!! CD of the year.
