Conference napalm::heavy_metal

    Yeah, Al, you're "The Cruiser" all right, just cruisin' around looking
    for an "offending" note to obliterate!  (Oh, that rush of power--
    "Ok, Dilly you don't exist anymore"  Poof!)

     But to the topic:  
    SET FLAME/ON*************
    (My first official announced flame)
    
    Are these people *high?*  
    I like BAM, too.
    Outstanding Vocalist=*PEBBLES!!*??????
    WHAT?????
    
    I am *sorry!* but this is ridiculous!  What a bunch of clowns.
    Who voted, anyway???
                     
    Give me a break.  I can't take it anymore.

>    Yeah, Al, you're "The Cruiser" all right, 

Actually, just for your info, The Cruiser is the guy who first posted the
note in the RECORDS conference....

Also, for those unfamiliar with the BAMmies - they are awards issued by
Bay Area Magazine in San Fransisco. ONLY musicians from SF can win!
So it is not a national contest...

(Of course, that's still no excuse for Pebbles winning....)  8^)

cat

    Ohhhhhh.....
    
    I thought we were talking about BAM the California music magazine.
    
    It's sort of like out "Beat" but it's bigger and better (because
    their music scene is so much more elaborate)
    
    Ohhh.....That explains it...
    
    Dilly_who_should_learn_to_read_BETWEEN_the_lines
    
    Cat,  I still think you should be The Cruiser.
    or the Vulture or the Hawk or the Grim Reaper.  The Grim Reaper,
    yeah that's it.

    Wow...Metallica WON an AWARD???!!?
    
    Someone call for an ambulance, I'm having a heart attack...

Huh?

We *are* talking about BAM (Bay Area Magazine)! In their annual 
awards show, only SF musicians are allowed to win. Just like if the
Beat had an awards show, only Boston are musicians would be nominated.
Get it?

cat

    
    Hey are we going to get to see it when the Boston Music Awards come
    up.  Print the outcome of that.......Guess who is going to win
    everything?  Best band:  Metallica  (noooooo!)
                             New Edition (ding!)
    
                 Outstanding female vocal:  Ann Wilson (nooooooo!)
                                            Tracy Chapman (ding!)
                 Guitarist will be someone like Ric Okasak
                 Overall......... da da da da duuuuuuuuuum..........
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Bobby Brown!
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    these things go to the musicians that came out of the area.....They
    aren't nation wide.  So If all San Fransico has to offer is Huey
    and the News.........
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    We do have Aerosmith, Jon Butcher, Boston, Extreme, whah else?
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Kat  who thinks Boston is the okay despite the fact that Bobby Brown
    	 is going to win everything.

> So If all San Fransico has to offer is Huey and the News.........

I was just going through some old notes (for cleaning up), and ran across this
statement, which I wanted to comment on (really, Kat, I'm not trying to pick on 
you!)...

Just so poeple know that San Francisco has more to offer than just Huey Lewis, 
other bands from that area include Metallica, Jefferson Airplane, Journey, 
Grateful Dead, Santana, Credence Clearwater Revival, Translator, Romeo Void,
Red Rockers, and a whole bunch more. Just FYI....

cat

    
    re -1
    
    .....and isn't Y&T from San Fran.??
    
    jab

    Not sure, but I thought that Y&T were from So.Cal...

	I'll officially post the winners at a later date.

	But, just wanted to let you know that the BAMmies are
	getting better.

	Bad English got "Outstanding Debut Album" 
	Todd Rundgren won for "Outstanding Keyboardist"
	Neil Young got something similar to a "lifetime achievement award".
	Faith No More received "Outstanding Club Act".
	Tesla "The Great Radio Controversy" won for "Outstanding Metal Album".

	More later,

	LB 

    
    Lisa,
    
    
    You forgot......

    I hope the Little Mermaid wins. Under the Sea is real funny if you know
    all the words.

    
    I used to have: You know that it's better down where it's wetter - as
    my P_N.  A totally innocent line taken from a Walt Disney tune and
    someone complains...
    
    Flip

    I love the Little Mermaid!!! That little crab dude slayeth me!
    

    Actually its Dahling its better...
    
    

    
    Sure, in one of the choruses...but not in the others.  I missed half of
    that film crawling around on the floor scooping up popcorn, which my
    neice decided to drop kick across the auditorium!!!
    
    Flip

      I run the sound of the Lil Mermaid thru the stereo when my kids watch
    it. For the type of music it is, it's quite good.

	LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Rapper Vanilla Ice and pop icon Madonna won
dubious honors Tuesday as an alternative music company issued its first
list of irreverent Rhino Awards.
	The Rhinos, reflecting the votes of pop music critics, were announced
over bagels at Canter's Deli on the eve of Wednesday's Grammy Award
extravaganza in New York.
	Rhino Records, known for marketing offbeat, quirky and nostalgic
music, created the spoof honors to give critics an outlet for zapping
artists who rely more on hype than creativity and ``partly a response to
the self-serving nature of most music industry awards,'' said Harold
Bronson, the company's managing director.
	Vanilla Ice, the white rapper who has been a much bigger hit with
fans than critics, was bestowed in absentia with three Rhinos: The Leroy
Neiman Award for worst artist, the Dan Quayle Award for least creative
artist and the Taste of Honey Award for most inane new hit artist.
	Madonna, who rekindled controversy with the steamy video for her
single, ``Justify My Love,'' won the Imelda Marcos Award for the video
that wasted the most money and the Carl ``Kung Fu Fighting'' Douglas
Award for most inferior single. She also earned the Warren Beatty Award
for being the worst interview subject.
	Other ``winners'' included: rapper M.C. Hammer, the Milli Vanilli
Award for hit artist with least contribution to his hit; the film 
``Young Guns II,'' the Plan 9 From Outer Space Award for worst
soundtrack album; Phil Collins, the Ronald Reagan Teflon Award for the
star who remains most popular despite having lost talent; and the band
Poison, the Spinal Tap Award for worst heavy-metal band.
	None of the winners attended the fete.

    Bravo!!!!!!

    YAY!!! "Under The Sea" won!!!  8^)

    I'm sure glad I don't watch lame award shows.  Looks to me like it was
    once again a popularity contest, not a talent contest.

    I didn't watch much of the show, just flipped back and forth to it
    every once in awhile.  I did catch Aerosmith performing "Come Together"
    which I really liked and part of Living Colours acceptance speach.  I'm
    happy to see Living Colour win something, I think they're very talanted
    and typically underrated.

    Living Colour was TOTALLY shocked, it was a riot!  Tough competition on
    that one......Faith No More, Jane's Addiction and Living Colour.....
    EEekkk...
    
    
    Anyone catch Billy Idol's performance?  It was a riot and a total slam
    on the Grammy Academy.  He lip-syched the entire thing (and made it
    very apparent that he was), he changed the words to "Cradle of Love" to
    make some very rude/hilarious comments, and the two women dancing
    behind the blinds had absolutely NO clothes on besides their knee-high
    boots.  I was ROLLING on the floor laughing.....no one else at my house
    understood what a slam it was.....
    
    Bahaha.....I wonder if Sinead accepted the award they gave her.  She
    was boycotting the awards ceremony, but she did win something (and one
    of the Living Colour guys had a Sinead shirt on.
