    Hey all,

    I just finished reading Mike's thoughts. WOW. I mean I remember when I
    first joined the JAM. This 'kid' (no slam intended, just an impression, bare
    with me...) was putting together a DT Boot, and was keeping us all up to date
    on all kinds of logistical nightmares he was dealing with. My impression,
    from the posts of his I read at that time, that this was a kid who was
    getting into some new realm. He was dealing with pressings, masterings, all
    kinds of BS, at the same time while telling us he was moving, and his parents
    house was still getting his mail; all kinds of stuff that left me with an
    impression that this was a young guy who was really taking the bull by the
    horns. Of course I purchased Subconscious, and was pleasantly surprised.
     The exchange did take some time, and I was a little concerned as this was MY
    first online exchange. Everything ended up working out (of course). I ended
    up leaving the jam for over a year (due to circumstances beyond my control).
     I come back and I see that Mike has achieved a much revered status. At
    first I was thinking "hey, isn't this just a kid who put together a bunch of
    boots and is a die hard fan??" Well, By the depth of his last post, I guess
    I was wrong. It seems to me that a lot of what he says has been true for him;
    and CAN be for anyone who has not yet abandoned their sense of community ( a
    rare find today in the 'REAL' world). I admit that is quite an idealistic
    way of looking at things; Most of us 'older' people, I am afraid have gone
    through this phase, and a lot have come out the other side dissillusioned
    (anyone over 30 is welcome to refute this, but remember, _WE_ are not a
    typical selection of the over 30 club). Mike, if I can offer ANY advice for
    the future, it is this: NEVER lose sight of the "big picture'. A lot of
    shit happens. A lot of adversity exists. A LOT of forces will try to erode
    away your resolve. Let NONE of it shake your belief, and hopefully, you will
    be able to retain your ideals forever. Keep the faith, dude!!

    To mike: Congrats on actually finding a partner to share your vision. That
    is another rarity!!

    Life is a test, and at the end, what are you going to look back at; What
    REALLY COUNTS!??

    Sorry, but HE started it!!!!!!!!!

    L8R,
    Brian

    P.S. I really hope that I did not go too far; I am NO Mike Bahr (Is that to
    be the new battle cry???:), but I just thought I could give a little
    perspective that some here may not have had.

    tomorrow (Wed)? I missed out on the last two because of school, but I should
    have no excuses tomorrow. I called and the guy didn't know who would be

    I can agree with you somewhat regarding Shadow Gallery. They are good
    but not great and their songwriting seems inconsistent to me. One minute
    cliche metal riffs and then suddenly some fairly good breaks with neat
    time changes. I think they're still trying to find their sound. What
    gets me is their vocals. The lead vocalist is ok but the production
    seems a bit overdone on both him and the harmonies and he does try too
    hard to sound like Tate. His overemphasis on pronunciation of the lyrics
    also seems too over the top.
     
    I expect they will get better and they certainly have the musicianship in
    the band to do so. Where I disagree with you is whether to listen to
    Green Day as THEY ARE PRETENDING TO BE SOMETHING THEY'RE NOT: MUSICIANS!

    Message-ID: <Pine.SUN.3.90.960903162154.27631A-100000@rossby>

    Anyhow,

    As a drummer, I must comment quickly on my opinion of the individual
    drummers on this CD. I then shall be finished talking about the rush
    tribute unless someone else wants to comment to me directly.

    As usual, and what I was expecting, Mike Portnoy was the drumming
    highlight of the CD. His best performances are in By-tor, analog kid (I
    saw distict resemblences to portions of learning to live and 6:00 in
    portions of this song!), the trees and la villa, although he did a bit
    much in playing fancy time at the end of la villa. Further, I LOVED how
    the group on la villa emulated the improv. on the MONSTERS portion of la
    villa as RUSH does on Exit Stage Left - excellent!! Also, the added
    touch of a portion of Anthem at the end of By-tor was a great touch.

    Kaiser was more than adequate on Mission - perhaps my favorite rendition
    on the CD overall. Kaiser emulates Neil Peart very well in this song.

    Now, Deen Castronovo! What a surprise! I have never heard of this guy,
    but REALLY would like to find out what group he plays for, b/c he is
    excellent!!! He did a very good job in Anthem, although I cannot say the
    same about the chipmunk vocals! Deen absolutely NAILED the drum part in
    Natural Science! That was extremely impressive!! He got all the fills,
    transitions, solo - nearly exact to Neil's version. I can't say that I
    liked his performace in YYZ - I think he got a bit busy, and as a Neil
    Peart fan, too, I missed hearing the classic ride cymbol pattern during
    the "chorus" of YYZ. Oh well - he was still awesome though.

    Closer to the heart was good - missed some of the expected fills of Neil,
    but we cannot expect everything to be the same. I likes the 2112 to
    finish off the song - quite nice indeed!

    Reinert did a great job in Red Barchetta, as did everyone else.
    Freewill was done well by Brockman, too. Although the song seemed a bit
    choppy compared to RUSH. Didn't quite flow the way rush does.

    Finally, I have to put a plug in for Billy Sheehan on bass. I really
    enjoyed hearing him play bass - very good indeed.

    Well no, in fact. I guess we don't wanna go through THIS again, but I'd say
    the Black Album is probably the best Metallica, save "Ride The Lightning."
    The new record, though, is pretty damn awesome, itself.

    Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't join the chorus of folks wishing Mr.
    Bahr congratulations on recent events. The best, my man!

    Just got working man, only a month late, but before i get to that.....

    About the Smurfs... WHO??? Lemme guess, they have Papa Smurf as band
    manager, they brought in Azarel to shred on lead guitar, kept Brainy on
    bass, the girl smurf on vocals (what was her name again??) and uhhhh,
    Sleepy (was he a smurf or a dwarf? i get 'em confused) laying down a
    mezmerizing, trance inducing rhythm line.......

    and further to the British guy who mentioned 'em (sorry, didn't catch yer
    name on the quikscan), does "are you being served" qualify as good british
    comedy? Because I like that show just fine........

    ok, on to the other part
    like it sez up top, just got working man, and to tell truth, my fave song
    it is Natural Science.....NOT because it is the best, LVS, YYZ, red
    barchetta, and a few more have it beat, but because maybe my expectations
    were so low on the vocals.....I was dying laughing (happy laughter) at
    Townsend's vocals, which i think are cool, especially those Little Richard
    impersonation (one is around 5:45 or so)....sure, he coulda chopped some
    of the screeches in half, but nevertheless, I ENJOYED that rendition.....

    A Vocal job that bugged me, on the other hand, was Sebastian Bach's take
    on Working Man....almost ruined the album for me before i'd heard the
    other 12 songs...did like his stuff on Jacob's LAdder, however....Mark
    Slaughter suffered from trying to do a Geddy voice, and missing a few
    notes.....i have a slaughter album, and also a Vinnie Vincent album (Yes,
    I admitted it!!! (then again,I picked both up for 50 cents apiece....),
    and like Pat D. said, he *never* sounds so chipmunky on those......

    too many damn dots ruining my day (or was that the start of school??)

    Got this off the STYX list. Enjoy!

    This guy wants to be a proctologist, and he wants to be a really good
    proctologist, so he decides to go down to the morgue after class and
    practice a little. Well, he uncovers the first guy and there is a cork
    in his butt! He thinks it's a little strange, so he pulls it out and music
    starts playing!

    "...On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again...".

    The guy really freaks out! He runs and gets the M.A. and drags the poorguy
    back to the table. "Look!" he says, and pulls the cork out again,
    "...On the road again..."

    The M.A. is totally unimpressed..."So what?" he says.

    "Isn't that the most amazing thing you've ever seen?", the guy asked.

    "Are you kidding?" says the M.A. "Any asshole can sing country music!"

    BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

            I would suggest that you take a look at some of the new Fender
    line. I have tested several of their tube units with a strat and they
    have a great clean sound, particularly if you are looking for a
    Claptonesque tone. The distortion is iffy. You won't get a good heavy
    crunch from one of these things, but you will get a nice present sound
    that cuts through easily. The neck pickup will sound best for leads.

    Some comments and a rebuttal regarding the Rush protest (my URL for which is given above)..... Sorry, Mithrandir (or was it Mojo? sometimes it's hard to tell the difference since their tone is similar), but album sales and boycotts DO make a difference. It wasn't always that way, but ever since the inception of the SoundScan system, record sales charts are based to a much-larger degree on actual store sales.

    Not every store reports to SoundScan, and I kinda wish they could put a sticker on the door (like ASCAP and BMI stickers) saying which ones do and which ones don't. But in general, the mainstream chain record stores -do- report via inventory control which albums are selling; it's handled in the UPC scanning at checkout.

    -I- am not boycotting T4E (I know some Jammers are, and that's cool with me). I'm just deferring my purchase for a week as a gentle protest. They might be a 400-lb gorilla, but in this case I think they're a 400-lb gorilla IN THE WRONG. --Paul, Rush fan since SIGNALS

    Let's. Wait. On. This.

    Let's wait 'til DT has released TNE (The Next Album :)) and has something to promote. It's been said before, but please, don't waste a letter to these shows now; it'll only piss them off for later.

    Getting Rush on one of those shows is a cool idea, but it's probably a bit too late -- I'll bet the bands are already booked for the next month or two, and they would likely have already been contacted.

    Yes it is true as the subject line states I can make you a copy of SUBCONSCIOUS on CD. Now I say again that this is a COPY and it is not an original from some secret stock pile. :^) I have received permission from Mike to do this and my intent is not to compete with him. I am doing this because I realize that there are a number of Jammers that missed out on SUBCONSCIOUS and I would like to help.

    Date: Wed, 4 Sep 1996 00:05:41 -0400 From: JamesArin@aol.com To: ytsejam@ax.com Subject: CD dubs of Mike Bahr's Acoustic Dreams Message-ID: <960903233637_471308464@emout15.mail.aol.com>

    Yes it is true as the subject line states I can make you a copy of Acoustic Dreams on CD. Now I say again that this is a COPY and it is not an original from some secret stock pile. :^) I have received permission from Mike to do this and my intent is not to compete with him. I am doing this because I realize that there are a number of Jammers that missed out on Acoustic Dreams and I would like to help.

    > A note from Mike: > Hi everyone! I can't make any more, you're all well aware of >that. It seems like what Jim's doing here is a decent enough project... I >don't even know how he's going to cover costs because I barely did when I >was using much less expensive recording media. If you missed out on >Subconscious, this is your chance to at least get a CD copy of it. It >won't be the original, numbered, valuable collectible, but it will be the >same music on CD and that sure beats cassettes! :) For the record, as the >original creator of Subconscious, I give my blessing for this project to >go forward, and he might do Acoustic Dreams later; who knows! > >MTFBWY! Mike Bahr, durnik@goodnet.com/mikebahr@dreamt.org
