    Got the changer fixed and back in the Beretta, what's in it is as
    follows:
    
    Tiamat		- Wildhoney
    At the gates	- Slaughter of the Soul
    Iced Earth		- Burnt Offerings
    Doctor Butcher	- Doctor Butcher
    Varga		- Prototype
    Type O Negative	- Bloody Kisses (2nd release)
    Cathedral		- Cosmic Requiem
    White Zombie	- La Sexorcisto Devil Music Vol. 1
    Catherine Wheel 	- Ferment
    Savatage		- Hall of the mountain king
    
    And a few brought in to while away the time while I work on a document:
    Nevermore		- Nevermore
    Crimson Glory	- Transcendence
    and a compilation cd called Identity II which has tunes from Nevermore,
    Eyehategod, Trouble, Chum, Sentenced, Samael, Stuck Mojo, Emperor,
    Toxic Reasons, Merauder, Only Living Witness, The Gathering, Moonspell,
    Punky Brewster (that's right), Hostility, Release, My Own Victim, and
    454 Big Block. And it is actually pretty good, mostly heavy stuff.
    
    

Sepultura	- Roots (excellent, heavier than Chaos AD, 
			it burns on headphones)
Deafness	- 18 Ear crushing tracks (a great compilation including
		Carcass, Cathedral, Grip Inc., Torque, Napalm Death, Voivod,..)
Forbidden	- Twisted into form, Forbidden evil (both excellent)

    	April, let me know how The Great Kat is.
    

    It's a keeper.  A must have for any hyperspeed/thrash guitar fan.  
    This chick is a genius!  It's circa 1990, but it's timeless...She's
    pretty wild lookin' too.  She's wearing this white lacey ensemble on
    the back cover and some black leather/spikey stuff on the inside. 
    
    It's a must for you, I'm sure.

    On 2nd thought, you don't need it.  You have too much to choose from
    already.  I fear that she wouldn't get the proper admiration and
    devotion from you that she rightly deserves.  Ahem.

    Shawn, I don't know if I like the idea of this topic getting "swept" on
    a regular basis.  I would be very interested to know what I was into
    back in '91-'92...  Can we vote on this?

    Um, maybe I should have directed my question at coop...?  

Peter Gabriel  Passion   never get tired of this

    
    	RE: April
    
    	Ummm, either 1 of us ... but usually I'm the one that deletes
    	the old stuff from this note.
    
    	But the stuff from '91-'92 is already gone, so what's your
    	point?  A little too late to ask that question now.  8^)
    

    Well, um, I know we can't bring notes back from the dead...but I think
    it'd be a good idea to just leave this topic alone altogether.
    
    Oh yeah:  8pPPppPPp

    
    	Oh, so you mean STARTING NOW?
    
    	I get it.
    

    Yes, please excuse my obvious oversight.

    
    	If I must, I will ... AGAIN.  [sigh]
    

    Don't start.  I've had an unusual amount of java this morning.
    
    MUST I thrash you in public?

I'd pay to see that... 

    
    	April, within reason, I'd let you do to me whatever your little
    	heart desires.  And if it must be in public, then so be it.
    

    Let me assure you it would not be pleasant.

    
    	There's a fine line between pleasure and pain.
    

    "X"

    I guess SueJ drew the line, so I must be pain.

    Shawn, you got it wrong...
    
    "There's a fine line between CLEVER, and STOOPID"
    
    :-)

    
    	Sue, have you been watching "The Stand" recently??
    
    
    	RE: Coop
    
    	That too.  But I hope you're not implying anything by that.
    
    	8^)
    

    Shawn, there is also a fine line between TETANUS and FORMICA.

    eh?

    
    	Than you, April.
    
    	I knew I didn't want to look like a fool and admit that I had
    	no idea what that meant.  And you just saved me the trouble.
    

    April, you have officially been thanned.

    Just picked up "Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy" by the Refreshments.
    'AAF has been playing their tune Banditos.
    
    Great CD!!!!  Kinda Jason and the Scorchers, kinda Bottle
    Rockets - nice summer drivin' music.
    
    - Sean

    
    	My sister and I went to the Aku Aku the other night, and since
    	I'm a nice guy I usually try to bring "neutral" music when
    	someone else is in the car, so I listened to "Back to the 80's"
    	[single CD, 20? tracks] and "Totally 80's" [double CD, 38?
    	tracks].
    
    	Well, I started, anyways ... I'm still listening to the rest
    	of "Totally 80's".  Great stuff!!
    
    	"Word Up", by Cameo, is 1 of the better surprises on there.
    	Do they have other good stuff, or was this their only good 1?

    	Shania's OK to look at [and maybe "OK" is an understatement]
    	but, IMO, not much to listen to.  Maybe I'll give whatever
    	CD of hers my sister has another listen ... "The Woman in Me"?
    

    I must agree wholeheartedly.  She has a very limited range, and very
    little variation with what she does. MMMM, she's very pleasant to look
    at. But that song on "Twister", it makes me tap my toes. I like the
    harmony vocals ( I think done by her husband/producer, Mutt Lange)
    especially when they do that falsetto(sp) thing there towards the end.

    RE: .49
    
    	The only other popular tune I've heard of from them is called
    "Candy"  and sounds pretty much like "Word Up".  You could tolerate it
    for a while...
    
    I think a group called Gun did a cover of "Word Up"...it's about as
    good as the original...and it can be found on the Barb WIre movie
    Soundtrack!

    Amorphis		- Elegy
    Jean Luc Ponty	- Cosmic Messenger
    4 others in the changer....
    
    Cemetary aren't what you might think with a name like that. They are
    pretty much heavy metal with some keys added in. Not too bad either! I
    had just heard about them recently and was searching for stuff that
    looks like I will hafta order cuzz they don't have them at Newbury
    Comics near me.....  ;-(  Probably be ordering a couple more Tiamat
    discs, Clouds and The Astral Sleep most likely....I like this band!
    
    Jean Luc Ponty, can't get enough of Cosmic Messenger, excellent bass
    player, guitarist and drummer during that time period. Very good disc,
    highly recommended for anyone who likes electric Violin in jazz. Some
    perky stuff, plodding stuff (title song is AWESOME!), very good! A
    taste for passion, civilized evil, mystical adventures are also very
    good by mr. ponty.
    
    

    
    	I picked up "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by Santa Esmeralda
    	and listened to it this morning ... 1 of the best covers ever
    	done, although being done "disco style" automatically means
    	that 99% of you won't like it.  8^)
    
    	They also do a fairly straight-forward cover of Van Morrison's
    	"Gloria" [the same 1 covered by The Doors].
    

    
    	Oh, and Warrior Soul's "The Space-Age Playboys" is quite good
    	after 1 listen ... of course I'll have to listen again soon.
    	Much better than "Chill Pill" [found BOTH of them at Straw-
    	berries in Shrewsbury on Friday night], which is a VERY slow-
    	moving album.

    Nice list.
    
    I can't get Sepultura's "Dead Embryonic Cells" out of the changer.
    IMO, this is the best heavy duty EP ever.
    
    Kev --
    

    
    	That reminds me ... I haven't listened to Firehouse in awhile.
    
    >I can't get Sepultura's "Dead Embryonic Cells" out of the changer.
    
    
    	Have you tried banging the drawer with your hand?  Or maybe
    	prying with a screwdriver?
    

    Sepultura is doing Denver tomorrow. I  would go, but I have to see
    Anthrax, & Cannibal Corpse. It was a very hard decision.

    Molly Hatchet - Devil's Canyon. Better than their old stuff IMO -
                                    a little harder, longer guitar solos
    Life After Death - Life After Death. Sounds like old Thin Lizzy.
    Alvin Youngblood Hart - Big Mama's Door. Da country blooze. Imagine
                            Willie McTell or Son House w/o rushing or
                            crackling noises.
    Rose Tattoo - 1st album. Hot with me these decades...

    Does that Tangerine Dream "Legend" soundtrack include the tune sung by
    Jon Anderson that ran over the closing credits?  I've always wanted to
    score a copy of that number...

    re: .131
    
    Yes it does - Loved by the Sun, along with a song sung by Brian Ferry
    called "Is your love strong enough" at the beginning of the disc. It's
    not too bad, sounds kind of like their earlier stuff, but I still like
    it.
    
    

    Rage Against the Machine (Still haven't gotten tired of this one)

    can compete with regular bands, a really killer album!)
    Sepultura - Arise
    Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire (Almost barely just as good)
    Ugly Mustard 
    Marilyn Manson - Smells Like Children (Buncha crap mostly)
    Marilyn Manson - Portrait of an American Family (This practically hasn't

    Just bought this semi-new disc by Dead Infection.  These guys are way
    out there. It's alot of times inaudible as to what they are doing, but
    nonetheless killer. They are from Poland, and they make Pantera sound
    like The Pet Shop Boys.  If I have some time I'll try to post some of
    their lyrics in here for all of you to appreciate.

    	You FINALLY got the 1st Tragically Hip album?
    
    	And I say that Brian Setzer Orchestra CD in a music store at
    	Emerald Square on Saturday but didn't feel like spending $18
    	on that OR his previous album.  So I bought "Rock You to Hell"
    	by Grim Reaper instead for $5 or so less.  8^)
    
    	The $18 price tag was the same reason I didn't buy "Flat as a
    	Pancake" by Head East.
    

    
    Woo, I'm going to Emerald Square!  I'll spend $18 to upgrade my 
    vinyly FAAP, no problem!  That LP roolz!
    
    Btw, both BSO's were $11.99 at Newbury.  You should know better

    	[grumble]
    
    	So I thought, by reading CDNow's "preorder" thing.  But it
    	appears that Newbury Comics doesn't list it as being out
    	yet, so I'm not sure.
    
    	I was at the mall because my father's wife [I hate to call
    	her my stepmother, since the image of Hansel and Gretel's
    	stepmother always pops into mind] was buying me clothes this
    	w'end and I figured I'd zip in and see what they had.  I
    	figured the $12 or so for the Grim Reaper CD wasn't too
    	bad, but I also figured that $18 was too much for FAAP.
    	I've never heard the album, although I think "Never Been
    	Any Reason" might have been worth it alone.
    
    	I'll probably stop at Newbury Comics tonight and check it
    	out anyways, in case they do have the new Raging Slab al-
    	bum and just sort of forgot to mention it.  If you're
    	planning on swinging by also, let me know and I'll meet
    	you there.

    I do not know anything about Skepticism. I've read good remarks about
    Dominus' previous CD but I haven't heard it.
    I've heard also good things about a progressive american band,
    Porcupine Tree. I've listened a bit in a shop and it was not bad at
    all. If you have the occasion, Cynic's "Focus" is also quite good.

    re: .392
    
    I have Cynic's Focus, it is *ok*, I think it would sound MUCH better
    without the synthesized vocals....some jazz influences on a couple
    parts of some songs. It's ok, but those vocals get to me after
    awhile....not bad otherwise.....Dominus, Dominus, Dominus, HEY! Can I
    have a Garlic crust crunch pizza with pepperoni to go??!
    
    

    Re. Mike
    
    Yes, the synthesized vocals are quite much used and the lead vocals are
    just ok. Their strongest point is the instrumentals played rather fast.
    The first song is the best for me.
    Dominus is heavier and punchier .. and also better ;-)
    
    Sorin

    RE: Sorin
    
    Based on your listening habits, I think you'd like Porcupine
    Tree.  If you like the electronic/neo-psychedilic/spacy sound
    like Tangerine Dream, Ozric Tentacles, or Pink Floyd, you really
    can't go wrong with Porcupine Tree.  Recommended discs are:
    Sky Moves Sideways, Up the Downstair, & Staircase Infinities.

    Thank you Steve, I'll check for Porcupine Tree. I like PF and also some
    of Tangerine Dream (I haven't heard yet Ozric Tentacles).

    Are we talking about the brunette cutey that they showed on the

    whole-heartedly! She is a cutey! ;-)
    
    

All you Susanna Hoffs fans, she's doing a show at the Kendall Cafe in
Cambridge(?), MA on about 5 semi-consecutive nights, starting about now!

I'm thinking of checking it out for its worship potential!  (I know about 2
Bangles songs, that's it).

    	Wow!  My first thoughts are these are "Keyboard Renaissance"
    	and "Rob has GOT to hear this"
    
    	This guy is the first keyboard player to come along in ages
    	that really blows me away.  It's hard to say what it "sounds like"
    	but I'd be surprised if any fan of Dream Theater didn't like
    	this stuff.   Doesn't sound like Dream Theater (hardly any guitar)
    	but it's that 70's progressive musical values in a 90's context

    	Sorta seems weird to rave about a prog-rock technical wizard and

     	good songs on this album, but I'm also impressed by the production.
    
    	Unfortunately, JJ didn't loan me the album cover (afraid I would
    	get drool on it I suppose) so I don't know who produced or played
        on the album, nor who wrote the songs (does Shania write?)

    is A-OK in my book.

    Sorin, what do you think of Therion's "Theli" release compared to
    leparca Kliffoth (spelling may be off a tad...)? Glad you like
    Anathema's Eternity release. I am going to put a couple of their older
    releases on my ever-growing list.
    
    

    Re. Mike
    
    I only listened Theli once and I was very well impressed. I like it better 
    than LK. Much classical singing and choirs, a bit in the style of Carmina
    Burana (but heavy metal however). You should like it.
    Re. Anathema, I've listened their previous which was very doomish and
    with rougher vocals. It was good but too slow and depressive for my
    taste. "Eternity" is much better for me.

    RE: Minardi
    
    The Bill Hicks "Arizona Bay" thingy?  Is that a comedy album?  
    
    	The reason I ask is cause the group TOOL speaks very highly of Bill
    Hicks and in one of their songs they mention "Learn to swim, we'll see
    you down in Arizona Bay."  This of course would only happen if
    California sunk into the Ocean as the song imply's.
    
    	They also use a very small portion of his routine in the begining
    of one of their songs called "3rd eye".
    
    Just curious,
    
    	J

Arizona Bay is one of the two brand new albums of Bill Hicks material since
his death. His friend, Kevin Booth  from Austin put the new releases
together, with Bill's mom as executive producer. It's been a long wait since
his death, but the albums are worth every penny. You NEED to buy them. Arizona
Bay is my personal favorite, with Rant in E Minor a close second, they
are edgier than the other two, Relentless, and Dangerous, though all are
brilliant.

Tool's admiration of Hicks seems to border on worship. Hicks' opinions and
bits on politics, society, America etc. seem to dominate their music, bordering
on plagiarism.

Friday in Austin, there's a release party with KLBJ, with Kevin Booth, and
Tool attending.

The fact that Bill's mom (executor of his estate) is executive producer of
the albums is kind of funny, and was a bit of a pain in the a&& for Booth.
She's a fundamentalist Christian, and Kevin had to get her okay on all
material for the albums... bits about Jesus, pornography, fundamentalist
Christians, drug use, etc.

    What do you think of Sentenced - Down? I hear they have a new singer on
    this one, and that he wasn't quite as capable as the original....that
    is sort of subjective though....
    
    

    After a first (and partial) listening it sounds fine. The singer has a
    normal voice (recalling, maybe, in few parts the singer from The Cult)
    although he prefers the mid-lower range. The album is closer to
    straight metal than to death metal. Catchy riffs and quite hooking
    melodies. I don't know their previous stuff but apparently this one
    gets a wider appreciation.

    Re. .40
    
    ;-) Mike, actually I am not exactly a generic death/gothic metal fan but 
    those genres, together with progressive metal, are the main trends in
    today's heavy metal. I like some alternative and grunge things but I
    haven't explored too much this area.
    There are tons of death/gothic/doom/etc  metal bands but I like only
    some of them. 
    Here are some of the bands or CDs I don't like at this moment (a matter of
    taste):
    Paradise Lost (although I like few of their songs), Craddle of Filth
    (impossible vocals), Slayer's latest 2 CDs and "Hell awaits", Danzig's
    last CD, gore metal bands in general, and the list may go on and on..
    The CDs I have recommended are recommended as top heavy metal and not
    limited to a genre (however in some cases you have to like the rougher
    or lower range vocals).
    
    Sorin ;-)   

    
    Nevermore		- The politics of ecstasy
    Pain		- Pain (Hypocrisy, lighter vocals, heavy stuff)
    Peaceville comp.	- Blood Divine, Autopsy, Vital Remains, etc...
    My Dying Bride	- Like gods in the sun (like new Anathema!)
    Sentenced		- Down (new singer is close to original)
    
    Nevermore is technical and thrashy, sounds good so far but haven't
    listened to it completely yet. MDB has clean singing now! He sounds
    sort of like the guy from Anathema which surprised me. Pain is Peter
    Tagtgrens project and has vocals mixed and not very heavy but the music
    is reminisque(sp) of Hypocrisy's last two releases. Sentenced new
    singer is close to the original but a bit different. The Peaceville
    compilation has some decent stuff on it, Anathema, The Blood Divine,
    Autopsy, Pitch Shifter, Vital remains, Morta Skuld, and a few others (I
    didn't bring the cases in....) and is mostly good, some heavier stuff
    with Autopsy/PS/MS singers. Vital Remains surprised me because the
    vocals are not brutal like I was expecting when talking to Dle about
    them (what about them Carlos??). Sorin, pick up the new MDB, if you
    like Eternity by Anathema, you'll like this one! He doesn't sound as
    forlorn as Anathema's singer (who's pretty good for this genre), but it
    really surprised me compared to Trinity by MDB (their first 3 EP's
    together on one disc). I still haven't been able to get TBD or
    Skepticism's discs yet....I will probably have to special order
    them....BUT on order Death is just the beginning...IV and Chris
    Franke's Raven are on order (Chris Franke was part of the 3 guys in
    Tangerine Dream and also does the music for Babylon 5 TV show) so I
    should see them by saturday or monday at the latest I hope!

    	Re .last
    
    	Mike: I don't think I have heard the "countess" song from VR, but
    the stuff I have is pretty brutal if you ask me. It's not an "all out
    speed" death or black, but IMO it definitely has traces of both. I
    don't know exactly how Dle categoreizes the band, but the 3 I have are
    pretty brutal indeed.
    
    	I'm interested in the Chris Franke. I have pretty much ALL of TD's
    output and that's a band I would really like to see live, at least
    playing all of their 70s stuff.
    
    	Let me also know about pain, as Hypocrisy is one of my faves.
    
    	I'm glad you liked Grave, I really dig them too.
    
    	And if you  just can't find stuff brutal enough for you, Dle just
    told me Vital Remains is touring with Incantation. That SHOULD be
    brutal!!

    Hmm, I will look for VM when I get a chance. I listened to all of MDB's
    Angel and the Dark River, had a bonus extra CD! Live at the Dynamo '85
    and is ok, drums are miked a bit high and violin is a bit in the
    background. Hey, for free, what the hell! $14.27 for the disc at CDNow.
    Not bad for 2 in one! Heard most of Grave, a bit on the brutal
    vocal-wise (what do you expect with a name like that!  ;-) ).
    
    My Dying Bride		- Angel and the Dark River
    My Dying Bride		- As the flower withers (death vocals)
    Anathema			- Eternity (can't get enough of em!)
    Rollins Band		- Come in and Burn (kicks!!!! GET IT!)
    Grave			- Soulless
    Christopher Franke		- Raven, tv series

    Carlos, I am surprised you are into Tangerine Dream! That wasn't
    expected! Their stuff from the mid to late 70's is really cool, and
    into the 80's as well. Their real early stuff is sorta psychedelic acid
    tripping sounding IMO, Atem, Zeit, the Collectors edition, Electronic
    Meditation, etc...but I love Green Desert, Le Parc, Thief, Underwater
    Sunlight, et. al....I haven't gotten too much of their later stuff (I
    do have Rockoon, Melrose, Canyon Dreams, etc.... We should start a note
    but they aren't heavy metal. Maybe we can chat in the "Favorite
    non-metalist" note? Let's go there!
    
    

    
    	Mike, feel free to start a note on Tangerine Dream.
    

    
    Shawn, not into the consciousness-raising meditation motif, are ya?

    But you gotta love "Grateful When You're Dead/Jerry Was There"!
    
    Don't worry - you'll be all set in a month or so - Ric Ocasek has
    a new CD coming out! :^)
    
    - Sean

    
    	Yup, forgot about "Grateful ...".  I'd already loggedd off by the
    	time I got to it.
    
    	So far, after a little more than one listen, that's the highlight
    	on this album.  Even a little bit of that "wocka wocka" guitar
    	sound we ["we" probably only being me and you, Sean  8^)] know
    	and love from the 70's.
    
    	You know who these guys remind me of?  Blind Melon.  So far.
    

    
    Blind Lemon?  Hmmmm.
    
    To me, they are more like a mix of Syd Barrett, Charlatans UK,
    and maybe George Harrison.
    
    I actually like the "Govinda" and "Tatva" - they're the unique
    cuts that set off the CD.  I'd love to see them open for the Moody
    Blues this summer, just for those songs.  Ommmmmmmm.....
    
    "Start All Over" is a great pop song, I don't care what anyone
    says.
    
    And that "wocka wocka" sound roolz!  Every band should do one
    song with one!
    
    Btw, their new single, a cover of Deep Puple's "Hush" (didn't
    DP actually cover that from someone else?) is #2 in UK.

    JJ, thanks.  Gotta stay versatile, ya know?  Of course, I haven't
    reached Shawn's level yet, and hopefully never will.  8P 
    
    I would love to see RHH live!  You know they're from Dallas?  One of
    these days... 

    
    
    	How's the Jewel CD?  I'm planning on getting it this month
    	from BMG  (buy one, get three free!).
    

    
    It is EXCELLENT!!!

    Very introspective, tender.  She's amazing.

    I've got a buddy named Jewell - he's pretty cool...Maybe I should buy
    him the CD?
    

All my cds are in jewel boxes.  Does that count?

    JJ, when you listen to Jewel for the first time immediately flip it 
    to track 5 (Near You Always).

    
    	Do the rest of the tracks suck or something?
    

    Hardly!  Track 5 is the most touching, imo.

    re: -1
    
    Hi Sorin, Happy late B-Day dude! I don't think I will be able to get
    Ever Eve since they are most likely not available as normal sales, ie
    an import. Have you gotten either of the two MDB's I have now? They are
    excellent with clean vocals like Anathema. Good picks! I need to find
    out if the other one I don't have is like these two or with the death
    style vocals (As the flower withers has them along with the 3 ep
    trinity disc I have). Therion is ok, but I am not that much into them,
    I might get it later, but have other higher priority picks to save and
    look for!
    
    ;-)
    
    PS - Get Rollins Band for some hard stuff, good release from
    Hank/Henry!
    
    

    
    	Speaking of Rollins, I just saw him in a movie ... was it "Heat"?
    
    	And I know he was in "The Chase".
    

    Re. Mike
    
    Thanks ;-). Therion's "Theli" is very different from their previous
    works. It hasn't much to do with Lepaka Klifoth (sp ?).

    Morgion is low end guitar, low end vocal death metal with some
    atmospheric sound due to keyboard usage. At least mostly intelligible
    vocals with some higher end screams and a few low end growls for all
    you Death Metal fans! It is a 5 song EP (I guess) clocking in at 34
    mintues. Quite heavy, but Sorin and Carlos would like it. I think they
    have some other material out.
    
    EoS is typical EoS on this release, which I think is their 3rd release
    out of 5. I was looking for the new one, Infernal, and found this
    instead!
    
    Black Mark Attack is out in 2 volumes, I think the other one might be
    Black Metal music, I will have to check again, this one has EoS,
    Memento Mori, Yosh, Necrophobic, Bathory, Divine Sin, Cemetary, Tad
    Morose, Aggressor, and Lake of Tears. LoT, Tad Morose, Divine Sin sound
    quite good, not yer normal DM you see me listen to! Bathory was a
    surprise as I expected them to be very hard, but I think they are
    termed "War Metal" type of music. And to top this off if you look at
    the logo on the disc it looks like a demons hand doing the metal finger
    salute but the ankh (what I think it is/represents) is VERY similar to
    Queensryches logo more seen on Promised Land and O:MC I think.

    Collins is/was part of this group along with Chuck Burgi, Morris Pert,
    Percy Jones and some other musicians. Great cruising music (some of
    their stuff anyways, and especially this disc), excellent musicianship
    on all parts. All instrumental, although there is some singing by
    Collins on other discs (Product - Soho and Don't make Waves). They put
    a several releases from the mid 70's through the early 80's that I know
    of and I think they recently put out a release in the past couple of
    months which I want to get info on (see if it's not a "best of"
    compilation which X-Trax is like). A must for acid/fusion jazz buffs!

    	STP [I thought this was a very impressive change]
    
    	?
    

    Shawn,
    
    'Evil Empire' isn't bad, but it takes a REALLY long
    time for any rap-influenced music to grow on me. I've
    seen lots of folks rave about them in here, so I thought
    I'd give 'em a chance. Can't say I love them, but the
    non-rap features (the music!) are good.
    
    STP's latest is amazing!  I've never been a fan of the
    Seattle/grunge sound, including most STP.  A friend loaned
    me 'Tiny Music..' a while back, and I was hooked.  They're
    more talented than I ever expected them to be.  What I like
    is the diversity of styles on this album.
    
    Steve

    
    re: last couple
    
    Steve, if you like Rap metal, check out a band called Stuck Mojo, 4
    dudes that can crank some heavy metal with rap style vocals. I don't
    have any of theirs at this time, but might go for their debut "Snappin'
    Necks". They are on Century Media, have a newsletter, etc...fairly
    heavy. I heard them first on Identity II compilation from CM, then got
    the first one, which IMO are MUCH heavier/better tunes by them on it
    (2 on the first Identity disc) than on Identity II. They have 1 tune on
    Identity....3D which isn't my favorite. Identity I has better tunage by
    them I believe off their initial debut. Punchy/gritty/heavy dual/triple
    vocal rap stuff.

    	Steve, if you haven't bought RATM's debut yet, please do.  It's

    ~Pril  I see you finally are checking out Rollins newest. This disc
    rocks! Great heavy low end on the bass, great drumming by Sim Cain and
    good guitar work by Chris Haskett(sp)! I really like the first track
    the best off the whole disc though! Great intro!!! ;-) Blows your
    speakers out if you aren't careful with the volume level (then again,
    some of you have more serious sound systems in your vehicles). Still, a
    great starter song for the disc, overall it is excellent and shows that
    maybe Hank is tempering himself (or whatever) now compared to his
    earlier angrier stuff. I like it!

    Re: Mike, I was mildly disappointed with the new Rollins.  Nothing will

    Ah, what are you thinking of as their first release?? I hope you don't
    think it's "The End of Silence" because you are about 3 discs off if
    so. I have "Turned On" which is a live disc of 1 track (unless you can
    index this thing), "Hard Volume" which has a cool 30+ minute live jam
    called I think "joyriding with frank" and its a cool jammin tune!, and
    another one that I can't think of the title off the top of my head, and
    it is much rawer and punker/angrier/stranger I guess you can say. I do
    like Hard Volume though for tracks 1 and 2, and of course the last
    track!  I really like this new one, I think he could reach a wider
    audience with this release. I still like TeoS over Weight also, but
    Weight has some good tunes (Shine, Liar, Disconnect, song after liar).
    
    Opeth though is cool! Last track (as Sorin mentioned) is excellent if a
    bit short compared to the other 4 tracks.
    
    

    
    
    	The only disc that's been spinning this week is Jewel.

And he sounds like he's gargling on broken Corelle tea cups.  If the 
record company had ANY faith in the band whatsoever, it would have 
invested in some nice Waterford crystal.

re: band aid
	No. They were cut from the lineup.

So the organizers had to start from scratch?

    go on...
    I'm itchin' to hear more.
    

re: Shawn. Unfortunately the band had just severed ties to their management
	company, and the business-end of getting them into Band Aid ran into
	complications. Band-Aid's situation is critical now, they need
	a transfusion of talent injected into the lineup, and have to deal
	with bruised band egos when determining the headliner.

    
    	if they aren't careful the whole thing could turnicate-to

    .98 Mike, the new Helmet didn't do it for me.  It's not all that bad, but
    it doesn't compare to their previous release(s).  His voice seems to
    drone on and on and on top of that, the music is way too repetitive.
    
    JMHO

Yup, definitely.

"Milquetoast" is the only good song they've done since "Meantime".

Oh, "Wilma's Rainbow" was pretty good also.  I'll have to give 
"Betty" another spin.

Listening to Devo's "Oh, No!  It's Devo!" ... it's been way too long 
since I heard this one.

"That's Good" [the song they did on their "Square Pegs" 
appearance].

"I'm a man with a mission, I'm a boy with a gun.
  I got a picture in my pocket of the lucky one."

    
    I love Devo.  Always have.  I heard they'll be doin' a reunion
    thing sometime in the summer...
    
    I remember how hard I roared when I first heard their cover of
    "Satisfaction"...that was something.
    
    Kev --
    

I think that's on "Greatest Misses".

Heck, let me go check.

Hmmm, it's on both "Greatest Hits" and "Greatest Misses".  I guess 
they wanted to make sure you got that song no matter which one 
you bought.

If you have "Greatest Misses", crank up "Mongoloid".  It ROOLZ.
One of their best, IMO.  WAAAAAY back when, on "The Dr. 
Demento Show", they played an old [possibly demo?] version of 
Mongoloid that doesn't appear to be available anywhere that I 
know of.  But I think I have it on tape [used to tape the good stuff 
off of the show] and I'm going to have to find it and listen to it 
because it's better than the released version[s] that I do own.

And I'm listening to Helmet's "Betty" for the one and a halfth time 
tonight.

Not bad overall, but still way better than "Aftertaste".

"Plaid" - Blues Saraceno

Been a while since I listened to it, so it's on spin #3 right now.

    So Max,
    
    What do you think of the new Rollins Band disc "Come in and Burn"? I
    personally like track 1 best, but overall I like the entire disc, just
    track one really jumps out overall. Sort of like track one of TEOS, or
    the last track on the same disc (JUST LIKE YOU! my minds not my mind).
    I wished he would have done that one live when I saw him! He was
    intense though, to say the least!
    
    

Getting my long-overdue Jackyl fix by listening to their first two 
albums.

They have a third, but it's a live album and I didn't see the use of 
buying it.  Hopefully they'll come out with something new soon.

    Siouxsie And The Banshees - The Scream. 
    Steve Vai - Passion & Warfare.
    Monster Mike Welch - Axe To Grind.
    Mekong Delta - Pictures At An Exhibition.

    DEVO is on Lollapaloser this year.
    
    Both their first 2 albums are pure masterpieces, but the second one "Duty
    Now For The Future" reigns supreme (Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA is out of
    control).
    
    "Mongoloid" and "Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy" are both cool on the
    debut - the original version can be heard on "Hardcore Devo" available
    from Rhino Records - there's some other good early stuff on that, too.
