    	Well, I don't consider Heart to an HM band, but 
    	they're also one of my faves too!
    
    	Oooohhhh...Barracuda!
    
    	Tig~~
    

    I've seen them a couple of times, right up front once!
    Nancy is even better looking in person.  Great show to see, 
    no matter what kind of music you're into.
    
    Anne looks like the Stay-Puff Marshmallo Man now.  She says she
    eats when she is depressed, and she is depressed because she can't
    find a boyfriend.

I'll volunteer! I don't care if she's a little big - I'd love to spend 
time with anyone who can sing like her! And maybe I cna help her work
off some of that excess weight!  8^)

Well, since Heart probably belongs here as much as Bon Jovi, I can make
a few comments. I am a big fan of all their material while they were
on Epic Records. But the two on Capitol ('Heart' and 'Bad Animals') are
both very weak and overproduced. ("The Wolf" is the only decent rock song
on there.)

My favorite album of their's is probably their least known, 'Private
Audition'. This has a couple great rockers ("City's Burning" and "The
Situation") along with some beautiful ballads ("Angels", "Perfect
Strangers").

                Ann is  definately  a bit on the big side.  Watch
                the videos and  see  what happens every time they
                show her face (they  never show the rest of her).
                They stretch the film so her face looks skinnier.
                
                

    Sign me up for a few nights back stage with Nancy.  
    
    She is H*O*T !

    Rember when they came to Mass. and WAAF (radio) had a contest. 
    The object was to guess Ann(e)s weight.  I have never heard a radio
    station get so many calls.  To say she is a little big is an
    understatement but she does have one hell of a voice.

BTW, I spent a couple days with them about 5 years ago (when they were
on the Heart/Kansas tour). Both Ann and Nancy were among the nicest
people I've met in the music industry.

                Guess Anne's weight?!?!?
                
                I missed  *that*  one!    How  long ago was this?
                Back when WAAF was good (with Harvey Warfield and
                Jeff Berlin)?  Sounds  like  something they would
                pull.
                
                

                                      
    Well, they're not called the first ladies of R&R for nothing.
    
    I think "If Looks Could Kill" is their best song ever.  It is so
    ...  (only word I can think of is *intense*).  I'll bet there was
    a personal story behind that song.  Does anyone know?

    RE.8
    	Actually it was on the Bob and Zip show.  It was pretty outrageous.
    It was after Harvey Warfield left.  He (HW) is now working on a
    soft rock/golden oldies type of station.  Definitely out of place.

    I love Heart!!! Especially their live version of "Rock and Roll",
       "These Dreams", and There's The Girl" reminds me of this girl
    that didn't work out as planned.

    On the credits on one of Heart's albums, Peter Wolf is mentioned.
    Is this the guy of J. Geils fame?  What did he do for Heart?

No, this is another Peter Wolf, who does some album producing.

    Heart is nothing short of sensational.  I think Ann Wilson has the
    best voice in rock and roll.  I currently own five heart albums:
    
       1) Little Queen.
       2) Passionworks.
       3) Baby la Strange.
       4) Heart
       5) Bad Animals.
    
    I know of at least two more,  Private Auditions  and  Dogs and
    Butterflies.  
    This band can belt out some hard driving rock and roll and turn
    around to play some heart-touching ballards.
    BTW, which album is "Magic Man" on?

        You forgot 'Greatest Hits/Live' ... a 2-record set.
    
                                                       GTI
    

    The CD of 'greatest hits/live' is missin' a couple of tracks that
    are found on the Album and Cassette.  I think this is so they could
    keep it as one disc.

Your basic discography (in order):

Dreamboat Annie (Capitol)
Magazine (Capitol)
Little Queen (CBS)
Dog and Butterfly (CBS)
Bebe Le Strange (CBS)
Greatest Hits Live (CBS)
Private Audition (CBS)
Passionworks (CBS)
Heart (Capitol)
Bad Animals (Capitol)

    re .16
    
    Magic Man is on Dreamboat Annie, a fine album highly recommended.

    I saw them at Great Woods this past June.  It appeared that Ann has
    lost some weight, but has a bit to go.  It was a great show, they
    really rocked.  I think Howard Leese is one of the most under-rated
    guitarists around.  He is excellent.  This was the second time I've
    seen them live and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to go see them
    anywhere, anytime.  
    

    
    
    	Hey, this is one I have to write about 8^)!  Heart is the only
    group that have followed from album one to present.  I have seen
    them four times in concert (the last time front row center).  For
    those of you who have to put down Ann because of her wieght I want
    you to know it is because she has a heart (no pun intended) condition.
    This is another reason why Nancy is doing more of the singing recently.
    They do not know if Ann is going to live much longer or make a
    recovery.  
    	The girls have always been special to me for their music and
    their lyrics.  I'm glad they have gotten away from Sue Ennis now,
    I think she was the biggest factor (along with Nancy's drug problem)
    for the group having a downfall for a couple of years.
    
    
    	I want to write more, but don't have the time, until next chance,

Hmmm....obviously it is just a matte rof opinin, but I think that Sue
Ennis wrote some of their best material with them. Two of my fave
Heart albums are 'Private Audition' and 'Passionworks', which were
those 'downfall years' you are talking about. It is the material they
are now doing that I hate! Before, they had a great individual sound and
style that belonged only to them. But now they sound just like so
many other pop/rock acts (Starship, Bryan Adams, etc.). 

IMHO,

    I heard a song on the radio this am, a duet with Ann Wilson (can't
    mistake that voice!) and some guy.  I think the name of the song is 
    "Surrender" or like that.  It was really good.  Has anyone else heard 
    it or know anything about it?  Is it new/old, on what album???
    
    Thanks for the help,

The only song I know off-hand that fits is a duet between Ann Wilson
and Mike Reno (of Loverboy). It is called "Almost Paradise", and is
on the soundtrack to Footloose.

But it could also be a new song that just came out.....

    it's robin zander of cheap trick

    Ann Wilson just did another duet, but I can't remember who it was
    with now.  The guys in the studio were making fun of it last night.
    It was a male vocalist, in the metal genre.  Maybe I'll remember
    later?
    
    Maybe someone else knows?

    	The song is called "Baby, Surrender to Me" and it's a
    	duet with that Robin Zander dude.  It's from the 
    	soundtrack of Tequila Sunrise...as told to me by
    	JJ (VIDEO::MORRISSEY).  She told me to make sure I
    	gave credit where credit was due, so I did.

	Heart will release a new album - Brigade - in March, produced
	by Richie Zito.  The style of the LP apparently has a harder
	edge than before.  The band plan to tour the UK and Europe
	during April/May.

    	It's about time!! =)
    

    
    
    Heart hasn't been the same since they got rid of Roger Fischer,
    Mike Derosier, and Steve Fossen.  IMHO.

Short review of last night's show:

No opening act, the band came on and did a 40-minute acoustic set, took a
20-minute break, then came back for an electric set.

Some of the songs played in the acoustic set included "Dog And Butterfly",
"Dreamboat Annie" (preceded by a short acoustic solo from Nancy), "These 
Dreams" and a great version of Led Zeppelin's "Battle For Evermore".

The majority of the second set seemed to be material from the new album
(which was just released on Tuesday). But they did manage a few more 
classics, including "Barracuda" and "Crazy On You". They did a slow cover
of "Love Hurts", and for the encore an acoustic cover of Bob Dylan's "Ring
The Bells". Of the new material, the two standouts for me were "Rage",
which featured a growling guitar riff that reminded me of Alice In Chains,
and "Back To Avalon".

Overall, I think the show was poorly paced, with too much new material and
not enough older stuff. They skipped over a lot of classics/hits, including
"Magic Man", "Kick It Out", "Bebe Le Strange", "Straight On", "What About
Love", "Where Will You Run To", "Never", "If Looks Could Kill", "Little
Queen", etc. etc.  The highlights of the show were very good, but not enough
to entertain you for two hours.

    Alan...All we want to know is...How FAT are The Sisters???

    ...let me field this one alan....;')...Al_CraZ...let me put it this way
    ..they aren't as fat as fabio is stupid.........hope this helps..../k 

    I thought only the lead singer was putting on a few pounds.  The guitar
    playing sister has remained trim.
