Message-ID: <0a2901c35b58$f23dec60$3cff9f0a@PCxxxx> >>... im sure anything the boys produce will blow us away! Me : Hi doc I need help ! Doc : Well what seems to be the problem Mr Almost Anonymous Ytsejammer. Me : I feel all strange about this new DT release. Doc : What do you feel exactly ? Me : Well, kinda worried, anxious! All this mixed in with a sort of boxed up excitment. Doc : The excitment is normal, but talk to me about you worry when did this first appear ? Me : I guess right after I heard FII for the first time... Doc : mmmm I see ! And does this happen for every DT release ? Me : For every one since FII yes. ;) OH GOD I HOPE IT'LL BLOW US AWAY Even with all the quality prog releases this year : WHAT WOULD OUR EARS DO WITHOUT DT !!!!! October, come quickly please... I'd better get back to work, Bye for now ye Jammers, A Carbon Based LifeForm. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2003 09:58:04 EDT From: email_address_removed To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Odd that this has not really come up .... Message-ID: --part1_a2.3a9727e2.2c6111ec_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" I got the live show from LA (double CD).=A0 BEFORE someone goes off the deep end, I think it is HELLA-COOL that the band is doing this type of thing. Mikey's vaults must be full of cool stuff that is just dying to be heard. That just said, I must say that while this show does have some cool stuff like Bruce Dickenson guest singing at the end, this CD is *painful* to liste n to end-to-end.=A0 James' voice started cracking on the first song and it was ve ry clear throughout the whole of the show that his voice was shot.=A0 One has to feel sorry for him.=A0 He was struggling the whole night to merel y keep up to the water line.=A0 Kudos to him for being a true performer and ke eping the show going but even for a fan-oddity-CD I would have thought that they would have given him the respect by NOT putting this one out.=A0 That said, I will offer my 2-CD package to the first person who wants it for US$15 postpaid.

Every Enchant CD is pure greatness. I can't think of any >'bad' Enchant songs, either. Great stuff. I love Enchant too, but I think the midsection of the new cd(about tracks 6-8) are kinda weak. Just my opinion. :) I don't think J9oD10 was their strongest album, either... Trevor's favorite is Time Lost. ---YTSEJAM FILTER: Rest of message skipped because of attachment ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2003 12:38:21 -0400 From: "Alexis Ramos" To: Subject: Portnoy is the drummer in Neal Morse's upcoming cd Message-ID: "I guess now that the cat is out of the bag, it is safe for me to report that I do indeed play on Neal Morse's entire upcoming double CD "Testimony" which will be released on Sept 23rd...... I recorded my tracks back in February and I am honored to be a part of this amazing CD and to continue my working relationship with Neal. He has completely outdone himself once again and in my opinion has created another masterpiece. Spock's Beard and TransAtlantic fans will be pleased to hear that the music is as proggy & beautiful as ever and Neal's writing style is still intact and as intense as ever! I am also excited to announce that I will be joining Neal in the fall to do some exclusive live shows in support of the album. More details coming soon..... Mike Portnoy" I have a question: why did God ask Neal to leave Spock's Beard but let him continue to make music on his own????????? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 05 Aug 2003 10:32:52 -0700 From: Lisa Palma To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: Portnoy is the drummer in Neal Morse's upcoming cd Message-ID: At 10:10 AM 8/5/2003 -0700, Alexis Ramos wrote: >"I guess now that the cat is out of the bag, it is safe for me to report >that I do indeed play on Neal Morse's entire upcoming double CD >"Testimony" which will be released on Sept 23rd...... > > >I have a question: why did God ask Neal to leave Spock's Beard but let him >continue to make music on his own????????? Uh, you DO know the topic of the new album don't you? Do you really think he could have done something like that with Spock's Beard?? ~L ::::Lisa Marie Palma:::: :::::email_address_removed::::: ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2003 13:43:58 -0400 From: "Dan Costello" To: Subject: John Arch - Twist of Fate Message-ID: I'm listening to the John Arch EP "Twist of Fate," to which I was first exposed at a MP drum clinic. The music on this is quite good, but holy jeez the lyrics and vocals are bad. John Arc sounds like a cross between Geoff Tate and Adam Sandler and the lyrics are a hodgepodge of every bad prog-metal lyrical cliche you can think of: "chains of misery", "live to die, die to live," "celestial spheres", "the cross you bear", etc. lol! who comes up with this stuff? -Dan. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2003 11:47:43 -0700 From: "Rahul Ananda \(Volt\)" To: Subject: RE: DT/QR/FW Seattle Message-ID: They played A Mind Beside Itself in its entirety in Portland the night before. It was pretty awesome. I really like the "rockin'" version of The Silent Man. And, Trevor, sorry to hear that you got lousy fan club tickets. A couple I know got fan club tickets, and ended up front row, directly in front of Petrucci. Supposedly, about 90% of the fan club tickets are in the first ten rows. So, maybe reconsider your membership renewal. Wow. I haven't posted here in about five years. -Rahul- ---YTSEJAM-FILTER: This message was posted using the YML command ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 05 Aug 2003 17:20:50 -0400 From: Mike Shetzer To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: Enchant - Tug of War Message-ID: <003801c35b97$722bac80$9b00a8c0@mike> I gotta get back into the loop, I didn't know they released another album.

Loved having more CDs from bands. Doing that over and over would lead to burnout, which was unfortunate.. But having more great music was a blast. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Shetzer [mailto:email_address_removed I gotta get back into the loop, I didn't know they released another album.

They're doing one basically every 2 years. That seems fairly quick to me, or maybe I'm just too used to Metallica...
