        _Screaming in Digital______________________________Editor's Note_

                Hello, all!  To those in Canada, Happy Victoria Day.  A 
        quick matter or two.  First, my thanks go out to the whoever 
        mentioned SiD on the Rush list.  Several new subscribers, very 
        cool.  Secondly, I apologize for the delays in the t-shirts, the 
        screen-printer's big expensive computer system didn't have a 
        simple file-conversion utility, so I had to move the files from 
        PC to Mac at a friend's house.  I intend to place the order this 
        Wednesday.  Of course, that means that if I don't at least know 
        what you _want_ by Wednesday, it's not ordered.  Many thanks to 
        those who've already told me, and in most cases already sent in 
        money. :)  And now, on with the important stuff!

        _Neue Regel___________________________________________What's New_

        LAST ACTION HERO        lab_helmts@vesper.emcmt.edu (Terry)
                I saw on MTV that Arnie was having a premiere party at
        Planet Hollywood for his movie, "Last Action Hero."  By any 
        chance will Arnie have any of the bands off the soundtrack 
        playing there?  (especially Queensryche.)  I know loves his heavy 
        metal and was hoping he might invite some of the bands down.

        _Speak____________________________________________Correspondence_

        NEW CD AND TOUR?        golcar@homer.bethel.edu (Carol)
                Does anybody know when a new Queensryche CD is going to 
        come out?  Does anybody know when a new Queensryche tour will 
        be happening?  I have yet to see them in concert and would love 
        to see them after everyone's raving concert reviews.

        _Roads to Madness__________________________________________Shows_

        PROGRESSIVE TOUR        tdely@fl51p01.space.honeywell.com (Troy)
                I saw some hope/desire to have a progressive metal tour.  
        A couple of the bands you have mentioned probably wouldn't be 
        there.  Crimson Glory dissolved soon after "Strange and 
        Beautiful' was released, and they were subsequently dropped by 
        Atlantic.  I know that Jon Drenning and one other former member
        (not Midnight) are still together, but they have gone through at 
        least 2 other names by now, and I have yet to see them play a 
        show around here.  As for Fates Warning, they are down to 3 
        members.  Most notably, Frank Aresti left.  When I talked to him 
        on the "Parallels" tour, he was pretty fed up with touring and 
        the whole music thing.  Too much time away from home, not enough 
        support from the label, etc.  So, Fates Warning is down to a 
        drummer, singer, and guitarist, and they have a 3-song demo out 
        that they are using to shop for a new label.  It wouldn't 
        surprise me if ATCO/EW picked them up - Connecticut connection 
        with Dream Theater.

        OPENING BANDS           golcar@homer.bethel.edu (Carol)
                I have only heard a few songs by Dream Theater on the 
        radio.  I considered buying their CD when I went to the local 
        record store but instead I bought Soul Asylum.  They would also 
        be a vote for an opening band for Queensryche in my book.  
        Anyone else like Soul Asylum here?  
                I was surprised when I bought the CD how many songs I 
        actually knew by them and just never knew they sang them.  Their 
        three most popular songs are "Somebody to Shove", "Black Gold",
        and "Runaway Train".  They just came out with a cassingle and CD
        single for "Runaway Train" with "Black Gold" also listed on the
        CD single. 

        PROGAPALOOZA            om1ey3@greenwich.ac.uk (Mike)
                How about a lineup of Rush, Queensryche, Dream Theater
        and Marillion, in no specific order mind.  Simply, I queue a week 
        for a lineup like that!
        
        _Spreading the Disease_________________________________Resources_

        MINDCRIME TABLATURE     jlee@weird.miami.fl.us (Jason)
                I finally got the Guitar tablature book for "Operation:
        Mindcrime" from the fan club.  Geez, I'm a little ticked off.  In 
        case you didn't know, it's only a "selection" of the songs, not 
        all of them.  In my opinion they left out some of the great ones. 
                Also, dunno if anyone noticed this, but check out a 
        couple of the songs, like 'The Needle Lies.'  Is it _just_ me or 
        whoever did this tabulature did it from the live tape?  Not that 
        the music is too much different, but the lyrics that follow 
        along - that's definitely from "Livecrime."  Stranger and 
        stranger.

        _The Killing Words_________________________Babble Interpretation_

        DOCTOR BLAIR AGAIN      caw@gtech.com (Christopher)
                Well, another Dr. Blair Sighting.  This one, of all 
        places, on the Mickey Mouse Club.  It was background for a skit 
        of "Doggie Howser, M.D."  Yeh, the skit was a real woof, but I 
        got a kick out of the intercom.

        _Breaking the Silence__________________________None of the Above_

        FORTUNE                 mark.badolato@asu.edu (Mark)
                Lately Fortune hasn't been doing covers on nights that 
        they only play one set.  Nights that they play 3 sets, they do 
        lots of covers.  We saw them on New Years Eve at Ovations in 
        Peabody, MA (with Harvey Warfield and 93.7).  Since they were 
        playing 3 sets, they did many covers (including at least 3 
        Queensryche and 2 Kansas).
                If you haven't seen them for a while, check them out.
        Bob's voice is amazing.  My friend Jay Franze hired Bob to do the 
        vocals on his 2nd demo.  I've heard two of the songs and Bob 
        completely blew me away!

        YTSEJAM ADDRESS?        ltx!csaba@rutgers.rutgers.edu (Csaba)
                In the last article of the last newsletter there was 
        mention of an Dream Theater newsletter called Ytsejam.  What's 
        the subscription request email address (and the format of the 
        request)?  My two bits on Dream Theater: Great band, but I don't 
        like the singer's voice.  Geoff on the other hand is simply 
        awesome.
                        {Try ytsejam-request@bnf.com, and in the body of
                        the message put "subscribe ytsejam <name>"  -sh}

        VENI DOMINE             pls@shell.com (Pete)
                The spelling is as above and you can get it from True 
        Tunes at 1-800-669-TRUE.  They sell Christian based music.  They 
        even sell stuff from a Christian death metal band... go figure.
                        {Could someone who's heard both tell me whether
                        Veni Domine sounds _more_ like Queensryche than
                        Sacred Warrior?  -sh}
