    Sorry for all the useless jibber, but I have three days of jams to catch up
    on (and boy are my eyes tired!)
    First, a warm hearted sympathy goes out to Rick and his wife. may she recover
    quickly.
    Now on with the useless jibber

    _I_ never met Charlie. A friend of mine did. Didn't I make that clear enough?
    I'll ask him for you guys that if he sees him again, to at least do 2 or 3.

    >thinking there! :)
    I disliked her from the first time I heard YOK. I put her off as one of those
    "annoying chick band" type of music (ex.-No Doubt is on the radio that girls
    voice really annoys me so I'm gonna put Anthrax back on.), but since my life
    started to suck, I've been paying attention to lyrics a lot closer and I have
    a lot of respect for Alanis as a songwriter. She can write some good songs,
    plus the music itself has a whole "Fuck-you, fuck-the-world" type of feeling
    to it, and that's how I feel right now.

    > I can tell you right now, wouldn't work... I don't know if you were here
    >a year or two ago, but there was a big idea to get MTV to play "Anybody
    >Listening" by Queenryche on... Halloween I think?
    About this time last year. I remember cuz that was the first thing I remember
    ever seeing on the jam, and I was introduced to the jam by reading the thank
    you in ACOS. Gee, can't believe I've been on the jam for a year now. Seems
    like only yesterday I was posting 20 times a day!

    >Wish I could say the same about a drummer friend of mine. He's soooooo

    I hate people like that. I wish they would open their mind a little. Speaking
    of Metallica, I was running on very little sleep yesterday and started dosing
    off in theory. My teacher noticed this and got my attention by saying, "You
    can't compare two different styles of music in the same light. For example,
    you can't say a Beethoven sonata is no good compared to Load by Metallica,
    You can't say Beethoven sucks because he doesn't use two fuzztone guitars..."
    I thought this was funny. Then he talked about people that listen to music to
    fit in and I wanted to talk about the alternative thing (Something I feel
    very strongly on) but I realized the kid next to me loves the Offspring and
    Green Day. Oh well.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I hope this doesn't signal the end of FNM!!! Anyways,
    anyone have an opinion on G//Z/R? It is Geezer Butler on bass, Deen on drums
    (or was it Randy?), I forgot who the guitarist was, and Burton C. Bell of
    Fear Factory. Being that I LOVE Sabbath, Ozzy, and FF, would I like the
    album? (stupid question).

    >the radio?
    Yeah, but it really is more of a thrill to hear a song on the radio that you
    aren't expecting. It's like a surprise. I listened WSOU in NJ all summer and
    they play DT every so often. One day I heard PS in my friend's car and even
    though I don't normally listen to that song, I cranked it just because it's
    cool to hear DT unexpectedly. If you put the CD on, you know it's coming on.
    Get my point? As far as DT going mainstream, I believe that if DT got some
    rotation on MTV, they would get popular because of this fucking brainwashed
    "Alternative Nation" that we're living in. If they believed DT to be
    alternative, they would get interested. They don't pay attention to what time
    signature a song is in or how talented the guys are. I played DT for this
    girl in my school. She wanted to know if they were alternative. I told her
    yeah, and she said she liked it. In turn, she got her friend into it, who in
    turn bought ACOS, who was comparing who was hotter out of the 4 of them. So
    it goes to show you people don't know what they like. End of story.

    Scott,
     
    You missed the point of the exchange on Cairo. The person who told the
    jam not to buy it HADN"T LISTENED TO IT! No one is forcing anyone to
    like a band on this digest (I think). I was the one who responded to the
    "Don't buy Cairo" because the recommendation was being made with no clue
    to the music. If someone listens and then doesn't like it, cool. Your
    opinion on Shadow Gallery is fine given you at least formed your opinion
    AFTER listening.

    from what i gather after late nite discussion on irc, most people
    that don't like his voice don't like it due to his screaming. i, for
    one, like his voice tremendously. (btw, check out Vai, "Sex and
    Religion" if you like Townsend). he's got one of the more original
    voices i've heard. but hey, to each their own, i think it's just a love it/hate it
    kinda thing.

    went to a midnight sale for TFE yesterday (yeah, i know, no
    willpower....but then again, outside of Working Man, I have no MC
    products, and so don't feel an attachment and therefore no reason to
    mini-boycott, either).....milling around, I hear a comment: "well, you
    know he's here to get Rush--he's wearing a dream theater shirt", from in
    front of me, and if you remember the Jason Giles design has only the
    majesty logo in front, I was suitably impressed.....
    the kid now has jam subbing info, maybe he'll join us.....(he's a
    freshman, and to this senior, he IS a kid....or am I just getting old??)

    Yes! And, that's the kind of stuff that I think should be put on the actual
    studio albums. When people hear things like that, they'll realize his talent
    and how well he fits with the band, and might help sales.

    I don't mind Devon's singing and in fact Rescue Me or Bury Me has always
    been my favorite vocal performance of the whole disc but....

    I always thought that was Vai himself who sang that track!
    if so then I hope he keeps singing.

    James Labrie can be a bit cheesy sometimes but hey, he still blows away
    anyone else I've heard. I also wish that he would stay towards the clean

    And those who listen to Stern regularly know that that woman who saidshe gets
    raped every day and that she's a psychic said that Dave would be in the band
    for 5 years! Didn't he look terrible though? He looked like...an old man!
    While Eddie, with his long hair and overalls with no shirt underneath looked
    like he was 18 again! So now what? I heard a rumor (may have been here, may
    have been on a newsgroup) that Gary Cherone may be joining. Any truth to
    that?

    I agree. I think that his screams are irritating live, and he tends to slur
    his words together. I understand that there may be a situation where he is
    tired, hot, whatever, but I like to say I have a pretty large collection of
    DT bootlegs, and I haven't heard many shows where James can -really-hit those
    notes the way he does on the album. That's all IMHO. Flame away!!!!
