    Hi!!
    
    This is Angela. I used to be in here way back when but i on't think i
    ever properly introduced myself. I'm 21 (AFTER WAITING OR WHAT SEEMED
    LIKE FOREVER!) and have been starting to get back into Metal after a
    short Dance Music phase... wow, i can't believe that happened!  Anyway,
    i live in Boxboro and work in Maynard (doing secretarial stuff for
    finance - what happened to a nice comfy Jeans Job?)... I have a wide
    range of musical interests, but lately i have been listening to all
    sorts of metal, including Metallica, Megadeath, Metal Church, Sacred
    Reich (what a kick *ss version of War Pigs they do!), plus bands like
    Nuclear Assault, Faith No More, and Circus Of Power, and I have always
    and will always listen to the old stuff like Zeppelin, Floyd and the
    Doors... it's a shame you feel like such a fool cranking good music at
    the beach, not that it ever stops me, here i am, the only car that
    isn't cranking "Can't Touch This!" ... it's really funny!  Well, i'm
    gonna go browse for now... feel free to contact me by mail, but please
    write to me at CFPA31::HOLMAN since this isn't my account (it belongs
    to my boss)... i'm always looking for a few more MetalHeads to hang out
    with... 
    
    

    Howdy!!!! from the bible belt of America where every type of music is 
    considered satanic. Oh well I guess you learn to live with it. I'm into
    alot of the heavier stuff now( Metallica and up) although I do listen
    to Zepplin and the Doors now and then, but mainly Metallica even though
    they don't make any sense ;^) (had to get that in)
    
    
    Mentally yours,
    
    
    Jeff a.k.a. J{ff

    As HM has found a new (temporary) home and my musical tastes have
    changed....I'm going to re-introduce myself.

    Metal will never die!
    
    Hey metalheads how's it goin'?  I just recently found this conference
    and was overjoyed to see it.  
    
    I'm Grant Kimura from Toronto.  Some of my favorite bands are AC/DC,
    Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Lita Ford, Girlschool, GNR, Zeppelin,
    Salty Dog, and Cinderella.  Up here in Canada, it's hard to find people
    who like metal and have an adequate amount of intelligence.  Maybe I'm
    wrong, but I haven't found any.  Are there any out there in the Toronto
    area?
    
    Before I go, let me leave you with a verse from an AC/DC song...
    	"Rock'n Roll ain't noise pollution,
    	 Rock'n Roll ain't goin' die.
    	 Rock'n Roll ain't noise pollution,
    	 Rock'n Roll, it will survive"
    
    -Grant

	I have been mostly a read only member of the HM conference, but
	I think I wrote 2 replies so I thought I would introduce myself.	
	I don't play any instruments like a lot of the people that read
	this conference.  I just like listening to HM music..  I don't
	care to much for Headbanger music (it's o.k. I just prefer 
	regular HM music.)

	Some of My favorite groups... Extreme (#1), Boston (close second
	even through they haven't released anything lately), Whitesnake,
	Winger, White Lion, Led Zep, GnR (of course), Steve Vai,
	Faith No More, RHCP, Warrant, Poison, Rush, Tesla and so on.


	I just turned 19 in August and I have been working at Dec for 
	about 2 1/2 years.



						-Slash

    
    Alright!! Just found the NEW HM. Glad it back.

    Dream on. Top bands include.. Rush, Zep, Priest, Sabbath, Tesla,
    Scorpions, AC/DC, Van Halen, the late Great Stevie Ray Vaughan,
    many more. I'm not into the newer music....like Extreme, Metalica
    etc.....Musicians/vocalists I like the most...
    
    Eddie, Mathias Jabbs, Alex Liefson, Jimmy, Klaus Mein, Geddy Lee,
    Bon Scott, Neil Peart, John Bonham..... Well, I guess that's enough
    from me...
    
    
    Jeff

    I'm Bill Rasmussen, work in Knoxville, TN. in Order Management
    Services.
    My first introduction to heavy metal music was by listening to Stryper.
    I don't know if I consider myself a "metalhead", as I like practically
    all types of music, but I do like Stryper. Yes, I'm a Christian, but I
    think I'd like Stryper if if I wasn't....
    
    Later,
    
    Bill
    

I'm Scott Sanville, I work at PDM in Marlboro, MA.  I have have been
    into metal for a couple of years now, and I've been loving every
    minute of it(I'm only 17).  My favorites are Iron Maiden, Judas
    Priest, Metallica, Faith No More, and others.  I also like some
    less heavy stuff like Van Halen(All Halen Rules), Sammy Hagar(I
    Can't Drive 55 Can You).  Hope to have many wonderfully, all metal
    conversations.
    
    See ya,

    My names Dan Sweeney been reading for awhile and thought I'd sign in.
    
    Been listneing to metal since Kiss released Destroyer in 1976 (Still
    an excelent album!) I'd have to say that my personal favorites right
    now are Guns and Roses, Maiden, Aerosmith and Tesla.  
    
    This is a great conf. I had started to mellow but, all the reviews and
    imput on some of my old favorites has got my cranked up again..

    the third world, man! Like,`d-square'!!!!  My name is Fabian Badillo. I
    am a 23 yr.old system operator/student here in Cupertino,Calif. I, like

    Temp. in August, but as of Sept. 24th, I am a certified `deccie'.
    	
    	So now, I can write these notes FOREVER.................
    
    I'm not into `thrash' metal, but I like any type of rock such as:
    
    Aerosmith, Motely Crue(older stuff), Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, ZZ Top,
    Dregs, and so on and so forth.
    
    	When I'm not piercing my eardrums, I like to listen to progressive
    rock such as:
    
    Cure, The Smiths, Midnight Oil, Cult, Gene loves Jezabel, etc......
    
    	I also enjoy `clubbing' to hear the latest local bands from the Bay
    Area i.e.  Satchman, Babylon A.D., Kidd Blue, Encore and other
    `locals'.
    
    	Since most of you are Easterners, fill me in on some of those
    aspiring bands o'er yonder.
    Looking forward to hearing from y'all also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have
    any questions involving bands from Calif. feel free to E-mail me.

    Hey all you rockers,
    
    I'm April Threlfall (interesting, huh?)  I'm down here in Dallas,
    Texas.  My first question is:  Is there anyone even remotely close to
    me that likes the club scene (i.e. lllooouuuddd music, screaming
    orgasms (my favorite drink) and fine, long-haired, dudes?)
    --If so, let's party!!!
    My favorite bands (at the moment) are:
    -get ready-
                   Funhouse, Two-bit Thief, Sleez Beez, Sons of Angels,
    Mother Love Bone, Faster Pussycat, Jane's Addiction, Urban Dance Squad,
    Dirty Looks, Vain, Damn Yankees, Eric Johnson, Every Mother's
    Nightmare, Katmandu, Babylon A.D., Extreme, Red Hot Chili Peppers,
    Poison, Steve Vai, Queensryche, Lynch Mob, Alice in Chains, Princess
    Pang, Living Colour, and the list goes on & on & on & on & on.
    ---------I know I'm leaving out a bunch!!!!!------------
    
    My all-time fave's are as follows (in order):
    LED ZEPPELIN, AEROSMITH, AC/DC,MOTLEY CRUE,ZZ TOP, BLACK SABBATH, METALLICA,
    ANTHRAX, PINK FLOYD, BOSTON, BAD CO., THE WHO, IRON MAIDEN, DIO, and as
    before, the list goes, on & on! (Basically anything that's classic
    Rock n Roll)
    
    I'm currently heavy into the glam/metal club scene, but lean towards
    the thrashy, funky side too.
    I'm 19 and have my own apartment where I reside with my fellow
    head-banging cat -SHEBA-!(she's a cool cat).
    
    Well, I'm seriously looking for some crazy people I can party with,
    (with some degree of intelligence)-so dude, or dudette, come one, come
    all, I'd like to party if you're up to it!!!  
    
    I go to a club called "Dallas City Limits" every Thursday ($.25 beer
    night).
    
    Look forward to bangin' withya.
    Later, Peace, C-ya!

    Sorry I haven't put myself in here earlier.
    I'm Al Mazurka.
    I work in Westminster,Mass(don't hold it againest me Tigga,I was
    transfered here from Northboro about three years ago):-).
    I'm 31 and don't think that I'll ever"grow out of"good metal music.
    I don't care how complex or simple the progression to the song is,
    as long as you can feel the power behind it.
    I'v been divorced for two years and have joint custudy of my two
    girls(watch out Wilson sisters)They like Rock but I've caught them
    saying"I like Vannila Ice".Well,I don't wanna influence them too
    much but when they're over my house,and one off these bands comes
    on T.V--I shut it off and tell em its crap.
    I moved from Worcester(where I grew up)to Gardner last year.
    Theres nothing to do in this town.Quite a few musicians but no bands.
    I used to play guitar in a few garage bands and played out abit
    but gave it all up.I now play an electric organ.Hope I'm not
    mellowin too much but alot of good metal song have organ in it.
    When I was 6 my older sister would play 45's by bands like the Beatles,
    Stones,Herman Hermits,Paul Revere,Monkiees and Animals.
    My first album was Bowies Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
    Always listened to Zep,Alice Cooper,Mott the Hoople,Slade,Aerosmith,
    T-Rex,Velvet Underground--that kindda stuff.
    
    Favorite newer bands::Black Crowes,Janes addiction,Kings X,The Furs and
    Queensriech.
    
    I,m 5 foot 10,140 pounds and have long hair,and get comments about it
    every f#ckin day.

    I'm Robert Sheldon I work in Basingstoke, England as a computer
    operator. I'm 17 (18 in March) and enjoy listening to quite a few
    different rock bands these include:
    
    Iron Maiden, Thunder, Slaughter, Cinderella, W.A.S.P., Motorhead and
    Poison to name a few.
    
    I saw Cinderella play at the Hammersmith Odeon last Saturday and it was
    probably the best concert I have seen with the possible exception of
    Thunder back in November last year.
    
    Anyway that's enough about me let's ROCK & ROLL.
    
    Rob.

    Man,. I just realized I'm not in here, so here goes.
    
    I'm Andy Wilcock, an' I'm working in Reading, England writing bits of 
    ALL-IN-1. I'm only working here for 14 months, in the middle of my college
    course, so I'll be gone at the end of the summer, but until then.....
    Faves: Metallica, Rush, KingsX, Marillion, Pink Floyd, RHCP, Magnum,
    Megadeth, G'n'R (love the music, but their attitude pi$$es me off
    sometimes), Leppard, Hendrix, Genesis, and loads, loads more....
    What I love about metal is seeing a band live (see all the above live,
    plus a few more (well, apart from JH!! - I'm too young)).
    
    				Andy.
    
    

    Hello, my name is Byron Boldt. I am a PVAX tech in Albuquerue.  I am a
    huge fan when it comes t music.  My HM taste is more of the 70's and
    early 80's type.  When it comes to newer bands my favorites are
    Queensryche, King's X, Metallica and Blue Murder.  When it comes to
    older bands I like Thin Lizzy (favorite), GARY MOORE (other fav),
    Priest, Scorpions and Black Sabbath.  All these new poser type bands
    make me sick.
    

    Hello out there.  I just managed to find this conference, after being 
    given three other out of use H.M. conferences.  Anyway my name is Jason
    Stevens, 21 years old, work as an equipment operator in Cupertino, Ca.
    I like only one type of music, ROCK & ROLL.  Most old rock and a lot of
    new. My favorite bands are Supertramp, Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin,
    AC/DC, Pink Floyd, OLD Van Halen, Guns & Roses, Slayer, ZZ Top, and the
    list could go on for some time.  
    I guess thats about all for now. 
    
    
    Jason
    

    Well,
    
    Since I was dumped into this topic on re-locating the conference I
    thought I'd give it a go. Barry O'Hagan's the name, 20 something 
    and I work and live in London. Used to be a very keen on the scene 
    but my tastes have diversified over the years. Still catch the odd
    gig and dust of those old L.P.'s if the wife lets me  :-). Obviously
    prefer the Old School; UFO ( The best at that time ), Thin Lizzy,
    Scorpions, AC/DC (the very old stuff), Rush, Blackfoot, Rose Tattoo,
    Diamond Head etc. Those were the days!!
    
    Barry.
    
     

    Hey,
       My name is JAZZ(yes,that is my name) although i love METAL!!!
    Some of my favorite bands are, QUEENSRYCHE,TESLA,FASTER PUSSYCAT,
    JANES ADDICTION, even though I have heard gross rumors about them
    ( right RAGMAN!!!!!!!!)AEROSMITH,AND PARIS BURNING!!!!!!
    
    Yes, I'm a friend of RAGMANN but don't hold that against me!!!!!!!!
     
             BYE FOR NOW,
                 J  A  Z  Z!!!!!!!!!
    

    
    It's ok, I have been using my real name anyways......
    
       Hey buck, what are you doing March 22 or the 27.
    
                                         Just plain ol' Mark.

    
       I`m Billy my favourite bands include Deep Purple, G&R, the Doors
    (dare I say it) and the best of them all AC/DC.  

    
     Almost forgot the best of the Irish Philip Lynott and Thin Lizzy. Also
    most of Gary Moores stuff. Theres another Irish band not as well known
    outside of Ireland as Lizzy they are Horslips, the ubnsung heros of
    Irish Rock. 

    Well, I've been reading this conference for over a year now, and I
    guess it's time I introduced myself!  
    
    The name's Ken...
    
    The age 26...
    
    and the music is METAL!!!!!
    
    Favorite bands include, but are not limited to:
    
    Metallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Yngwie, Black
    Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Megadeth, Fates Warning, Deep Purple, Hendrix,
    Ozzy (w/Randy), Testament, Overkill, Aerosmith, AC/DC (older stuff),
    Zeppelin, VH, Riot, Tesla.
    
    I used to be under the names of WFOVX5::JENKS, and WFOVX5::BABYOK, as I
    was using friends accounts and contract working at Westfield (Debug
    Tech).  Now I'm contract working at Maynard (Hardware Qualification
    Engineer), but I have my own account.  Guess I'm moving up in the
    world!
    
    So now that I'm out east, maybe I can get to see some of these shows
    that I keep hearing you people talk about, and meet some of you fellow
    metalheads!!
    
    Rock On!
    		� Ken �
    
    

I am also rapt to see there are other intellectual head-bangers out there 
as there don't appear to be too many in New Zealand apart from my big brothers!

It's also nice to see a true-blue AC/DC fan.  I am looking forward to their
New Zealand concert in November.

I also get right into Deep Purple - any more of you DP fans out there?
As well as Iron Maiden, The Doors (the movie is excellent), Joe Satriani,Led
Zeppelin, and so on.  It took me a while to grow into this music, and people
still don't believe I'm a head-banger - I don't wear black jeans, for a start
(or is that only an NZ custom?).  I am a five-foot 12 redhead who is a wp
operator for a living and there aren't many like me around!

But I digress.  As I am only temping here for two months I probably won't get
to read this conference again, which is a real bummer.  So I am making the most
of it while I can.

I leave you with one of my favourite lines:

   "Shuzbert, Nanoo nanoo"

(Have you ever noticed that line on the end of AC/DC's 'Night Prowler?'  Check
it out?

    I'm at a ripe ol' age of 31 and I haven't read all the intros to know
    what everyone else has had to say -  (It's 7/3/91 [late] and I may be 
    out of a  job by Monday so I'm ramblin on  :*( ) - but I enjoy GOOD 
    music.
    
    Heavy Metal - been listening it since I was 8 years old.   I
    can't get into much else.
    
    Just wanted to say HEY (as we say it down here in the South :*)  )
    
    
    

    Hey I'm back . . . .

    Hey Crofts, care to clue us in to your first name?
    
    Yo oldtimers...
    
    I noticed awhile back that replies .0-.168 in this note had
    disappeared.  All the current moderators claim no knowledge of how this
    happened, so it appears to have been some sort of accident.  Anyway, my
    apologies for this.  I'd like to ask you all to repost an introductory
    note for yourselves if there's not one here now.  I'll do one for
    myself too.
    
    Greg

    
    Okay, I'll do it again.
    
    I'm Peter Cook, or I was last time I checked. Way back in a galaxy
    far far away, Shawn and I started a Heavy_Metal conference because
    we were tired of being slagged off in ::MUSIC. So here we are today.
    [that was old timer trivia for you freshmen 8-)]
    
    I started out liking Kiss, then went to Black Sabbath, then to
    Iron Maiden and everything else. My first concert was Ted Nugent.
    The second was Alice Cooper. Fond mamm, I mean memories.
    
    I'm really mellow in person but can create legendary suffering in 
    notes. That comes from 7 years of ::SOAPBOX. So like, forgive me
    if I get out of hand. 8-)
    
    I'm in a band (Note 466.*). We have a demo that I haven't sent yet
    because I'm broke but I promise I'll send it out on Wednesday,
    Pretty soon we're going to do a 24 track recording and press
    some CD's and tapes. Like, professional man. 8-)
    
    My favorite bands are Iron Maiden, Helloween, Anthrax, Scatterbrain,
    and heck, Mystic Powers of course.
    
    I'll go away now.

    	eesh.  ok, if I have to.
    
    	I'm Judy Chaisson but in notesland I'm known as JJ....don't
    	ask why, it's a long story!  =)  I work at ZKO in Nashua
    	and I won't tell you where I live cuz I'm sure you've never
    	heard of it and I hate it anyway.
    
    	I won most bashed in this year's Noters Awards I believe.
    	That being because I like all the, ahem (I hate this word)
    	poseur bands that everyone else hates.....like Bon Jovi,
    	Poison, etc.  But I do have some endearing traits....I like
    	the Crue, Slaughter, Scorpions etc.
    
    	I get really peeved when I hear metal being bashed by those
    	who don't know any better.
    
    	I'm 23, married and am owned by four cats.  I'll listen to just
    	about any kind of music except opera and real-down-home-knee
    	slapping country music.
    
    	I hang around with Tigga too much.  =)

    Ok, here's the bio I promised before I ran off for lunch...
    
    I'm Greg House, but in Notes I'm known as...um...Greg House (oh well,
    no catchy nicknames here).  I sign most of my notes in this conference
    "gh".  I'm one of the moderators of this notes conference and I also
    help moderate the Guitar conference.
    
    I'm a software engineer <yawn> working in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 
    I work for the AIM engineering group (if anyone cares) at CXN1.
    
    I like a lot of different types of music, basically everything from
    thrash to classical.  I don't particularly care for Muzak, country, or
    light pop.  Favorite rock bands would include Anthrax, Racer X, Jane's
    Addiction, Megadeth, Ozzy, Ted Nugent, Metallica, Aerosmith, UFO, and
    many others.
    
    I play guitar and am in and out of bands occasionally (mostly out).

        This isn't my original, but it works. . .
        
        Far away and in another dimension, the worlds of Harkur float
        along side a vast cosmic void.  Within this void, there is no
        sound as we humans  know  it.    It is the testing ground for
        warriors from the cosmos, not  only  a  test of strength, but
        that of the mind.  These  few  know  no other way but to join
        together at the beginning of each decade to hone their skills
        in  competition, enabling them to go forth within  their  own
        worlds to persue the rights of those that are  oppressed  and
        plagiarized  by  their peers.  To him, there is no  room  for
        bigotry on the small, fragile decaying planet he reigns from.
        Mere words  have thought, yet no power to persuade those that
        feel they are greater than others.
                
        One warrior of  that  world  has  returned  from  that  void,
        victorious !  His  next  ten  years,  dedicated to destroying
        malice  and  discontentment  among  those    who   refuse  to
        acknowledge the ways of the future.  They live in fear of the
        words propelled by a force too strong for them to understand.
        They cower as if hiding from a bad omen, for they know not of
        its true meaning.  This force is the strongest  of all forces
        known within the universe.  It is.  .  .Heavy METAL !

        Let's just  leave  it  to  say that I leave my mind open to a
        wide and diverse  selection  of  METAL.    Since  I play bass
        guitar as well, some  of  the  music which may not be exactly
        pleasant to listen to, CAN be fun to play.  This I've learned
        in the band I'm in that plays vintage/nostalgia rock.
        
        Veteran status is a little more than three years here. . .

    Errrr,let me think.
    
    Started listening to Specials,Madness,Beat,Selecter (2 tone)/skinhead.
    Got into Iron Maiden,Motorhead,Deep Purple,Saxon,Tygers of Pan Tang,
    Budgie,then got into thrash when it 1st started (`83). Then got
    heavily into American Hardcore/punk,then English punk...
    
    Now i don`t give a toss. If it sounds good i`ll listen.

    Dislikes: musical snobs/bigots. I also like classical, jazz, blues 
    and folk (in fact if its performed with feeling and played by musicians 
    not machines I'm prepared to give it a listen -I might f**kin hate it-
    but I'll give it a listen).

      I work at the Atlanta CMC...where I'm a CSS.  I'm 21 and been
    listening to Metal since I was five....or when they used to call
    it Acid Rock.  Anyway I was raised on Kiss, ZZ Top, and Ozzy.  I
    wanted to be Gene Simmons since the first time I saw him.  I started
    to play bass around the age of 8.  I had an accident with a knife about
    2 years ago where it severed the tendon and the nerve in my middle
    finger of my right hand.  So that nipped that in the bud...but I'm
    working at it...and I will play like I used to.  Right now I play 
    guitar..left handed...and still learning.  `Pril told me about this
    conference...and I'm glad she did.  Warning...I'm a bit of a smart butt
    so don't take me to heart.  Well I'll see you in notes.

    Hi folks,
    
    	A new entry to the block...  During my youth, I was very much into
    heavy metal (I basicly lived for Kiss and Quiet Riot!), and of
    course as we get older our musical tastes change...  So now I listen
    to alot of Alternative stuff, and blues/jazz stuff...  But every
    once in a while (Ok, alot lately!) I find myself digging out the
    old Ted Nugent stuff (Great White Buffalo is STILL my favorite song!)
    and just melting back to the past...
    
    
    					Steven (who isn't really old,
    					but feels like it.  Probably
    					because he's getting married 
    					next year, and he hears 30
    					knocking on the door...)
    

    Hi ....My name is Bob Penn.....
    
         I like Metallica,Ozzy,Iron Maiden,Scorps,Ac/Dc,Randy Rhoads,
     Van Halen.
    
          Well...My brain is bruised from moshing so.....
    
                     Cheers,
                             Moosh Bob

          					     |
    
    I like the OLDER Rock/Hard Rock...Sweet, Deep Purple, Mahogany Rush,
    Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Krokus, Ozzy, Cheap Trick, Queen, Styx, Kansas,
    Thin Lizzy, AC/DC...and the newer, more pop-oriented HM;  TNT, Wild
    Boyz, Steelheart, Beau Nasty, Firehouse (you get the picture).
    
    I play guitar, am an avid roller coaster enthusiast, and can be pretty
    darn opinionated, so beware!  8^)  I'm pretty down-2-earth and easy
    going, so don't worry, my bark is worse than my bite!
    
    Lets go roller coasterin!
    Buck E Lee (yet another alias!) 

Hmmm...My original entry (entered many eons ago on one of the innumerable
previous incarnations of this conference) seems to have vanished. Anyhow,
some of the information was out of date, so it's time for a re-write.

I'm Keith Fagg (stop sniggering at the back there -- a perfect Old-English
last name dating from the Middle Ages -- explanations available upon request) 
working as a Principal Technical Author in the CBN Engineering group in Reading,
UK. Known as Keef in this 'ere conference.

I've been listening to rock/metal since 1969/1970 (so long ago I can't
remember the exact date).

Listen to just about anything, but main likes are: Motorhead, Metallica,
Black Sabbath, Deep Purple (early to mid seventies), Sacred reich,
Nuclear Assault, Anthrax, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Maiden, Status Quo (pre '78)
Judas Priest, Megadeth, Accept, Ozzy, Gillan, Wasp, Onslaught, Led
Zeppelin, B. B. King, Albert King, Muddy Waters, AC/DC (early stuff),
Groundhogs, Grand Funk (early), Free, Bad Company (early agan), Cream,
Robert Plant, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Rainbow (early), and so on.....

If you're ever in DEC Park, my cube is easy to recognize. Untidy, loadsa
paper everywhee (so much for the paperless office) and plenty of posters of
Motorhead and Metallica all around the walls.

See ya,
	Keef.

    Okay, since you asked.
    
    The name is Ruth Buchanan aka BJ and I've been working for DEC for the
    last 3 years in the S. Fla office on the international side (GIA, what
    a concept!)
    
    I love all kinds of the music, except real whiney hound dog country and
    opera (except maybe Klingon opera, right, Rob?)  I started listening to
    EJ in jr. high, then got into The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Styx,
    Journey, REO and, of course, Zepplin.
    
    I didn't really start listening to 'heavy metal' until I moved down to
    S.Fla. and starting borrowing tapes from my sixteen-year-old next door
    neighbor (The kid nearly had a corony when I asked him to borrow some 
    GNR tapes.  He said he thought I was too old --GEEZ!-- and I've not even
    twice his age yet!)  I like everything from Metallica to JonBon (yes, I
    admit it, I like to 'poser' bands!  Don't hold that against me!) 
    
    And all the rest is history.  I've moved again recently, so I've been
    without my 'tunes for a while and I'm suffering mightily.  As I said,
    I love music, but I can't play a note or hold a tune in bucket, so I
    really envy all to guys up there in bands.  GOOD LUCK TO YA!
    
    Rock on!
    
    BJ
    
    

    
    
    
    Seeing as how I was so nicely coaxed into this note, thought I'd better
    oblige!

    bottle of homemade wine, and a few pizza slices...
    
    I was working for DEC at the SBP office (Fareham, Hampshire) last year
    as the industrial training part of my computer science degree course at
    Staffordshire Polytechnic (but don't tell anyone, it's kinda
    embarrassing! =;*)  ).  I didn't enter anything in here last year as I
    was always *tooooooooooo* busy watching and looking after our systems
    down there...so if you ever had any hassles accessing any machines down
    there, you know who's fault it was (my boss's of course!).
    
    Recently been sidling into the world of HM after being brought up in
    the music world (mostly by my own choosing up to the age of eleven!) as
    a violinist (hey, but don't hold it against me!).  I've only recently
    been interested in the stuff in here, mainly over the past few years. 
    I keep getting introduced to different stuff, so excuse me if my
    knowledge of the subject is crap sometimes!
    
    Favourite stuff includes (well, the stuff I've heard so far, anyway)
    Metallica, 'Floyd, Aerosmith, RHCP, Thin Lizzy, most Led Zep and the
    usual list of favourite stuff...(can I say I like Uriah Heep in here,
    or will you all laff at me! =;*)))))))))  )...Andy Wilcock (see 3.20
    etc) has had a great deal to do with getting me into this type of
    stuff, so if I pi$$ anybody off, he's to blame.  OK?!
    
    Hate stuff like recent Tesla and all the glam stuff (don't know why, it
    just gets on my nerves).  Also, all the other stuff that generally gets
    yer feeling like you're listening unwillingly, rave etc.
    
    Other likes include Crowded House, B52's, Waterboys, The Cult, Jane's
    Addiction, most Blues, most things really as long as they don't sound
    like they've been put together in five mins with a DX-7 and an Atari-ST
    (sorry if I offend anyone by that last thing, but you get the general
    idea I hope! =;*)  ).

    What's up, all? I finally found my way back to the one conference I
    enjoyed, before its coma. Chris Simpson checkin' in from New York,
    A.K.A. Spaceknight, due to brain capacity and comic hero.(Yay team!)
    Glad to see all the regulars are here, DD, you gonna be back, or is 
    my lack of caffeine gettin' to me? Is Motorbreath still around? Bah!
    enough of this B.S.'n, my favorite groups are Loudness, Queensryche
    and AC/DC, and whatever new stuff I get my hands on I'll let ya
    know about, although my taste is out there.

    Hi Everybody....Ive been in this conference for about 10 months. I ve
    been busy reading all the notes and I completely overlooked this note.
    Well Im officially here now!
    My name is Bob Mercier and I have been with DEC for 4 years. I work for
    the Desktop Service Group in SHR. I have been a metal fan for years. I
    grew up??? listening to old Sabbath, Led Zep, Queen, Pink Floyd, Yes,
    etc. I currently like all types of music. I really enjoy supermarket
    music....NOT....you know the kind Im talking about.....plays at warped
    speeds..No really I like everything from Early 1900 Big Band stuff to
    Metal. Some of my current Favorite groups are: Old Sabbath, Led Zep,
    Janes Addiction, Living Colour, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam. Music I hate
    is LA Style POSEUR Music.....boring,repetetive....not my cup of tea.
    
    A little about my outside DEC life...I play drums in a Boston Based
    band called CoNtaGioUS....hoping to get signed someday...Im married
    with children (3)....Keep quite busy between work...band and family.
    Hopefully it will pay off someday...
    
    I usually wont start to much trouble in here unless Im in a good mood.
    Also, I like to do .......... stuff alot, because my grammer sucks and
    it easier then deciding where to end a sentence.....
    
    Bob

    Er,i`m from Dec Park. D1 (you know,the bit where it says "900 calls

    Bill Waxman
    HLO 
    
    I'm not a hardcore metal fan, but I've learned to appreciate more it 
    since that's all what is played at the gym. Besides I'd rather lift to
    Metallica then to Michael "I dont know if I'm black or I'm white" Jackson 
    anyday.
    
    Likes: AC/DC, Extreme, Some Metallica, Some Guns and Roses, Nirvana,
    Living Color, Pink Floyd... And others
    
    
    

I've noted in here before, but not for a long time... so an intro is a bit
overdue... but anyway.

 I'm Keith Nicholson.. from DEC PARK D4. 

  I like lots of different music, lots of different bands.

   I'll try and note in here a bit more in future.. 

    Hi, Clare Bowcock here 8)

    GnFnR, Metallica, Dan Reed Network, Cinderella, Bon Jovi, Dave Lee
    Roth, Bryan Adams, etc, etc
    
    Keep up the good work with Notes, its really heavy!!!!
    
    
    Later,
    Clare

    Hi,Stuart from D1. 
    
    Favowite bands include Carcass,KLF,Ramones,Skid Row,Spread Eagle and
    alls sorts of other rubbish..
    

Alias Droid here,

        Andy Foster        (nickname Droid is courtesy of my Mom!)
        Mass. born/raised  (just a statement of locality)
        Age: Mentally: *very* young!  Physically: You-ah neva minda dis one!!

I'm currently working as a System Support dood in SHR for CAD software products.

Some of my favorite bands are Foghat, Kiss, Rush, Sweaty Teddy, and billions
more from the 60s-80s. Looks like a lot more to come as the 90s roll along.

I've played guitar, bass and drums in several bands over the years, and 
last August joined a band called the Diversions (playing bass). They've
released one cd so far, called 'Tourist Distractions', in late 1990 (before
my time). 

Glad to be here!

Ok, JJ just pointed me here so I guess I should lay it out.

Andy D'Amore , Software Engineer in Nashua.  Work with JJ (that's how
I got turned on to this).  Actually worked with Pete way way WAY back.
(Ok, mid 80's).  Woke his brain cells up yesterday to that, I think I
hurt him when I did that. ;^)  (Hi pete!) Know Mike H. from other notes.

Unfortunatly, I don't have a musical bone in my body (though I play a decent
air drums...NOT)

Love lot's of music, rediscovering my HM love from high school and college.
(JJ still doesn't believe I liked Maiden then , I wonder if I still have
those posters, damn...)

Tastes vary depending on the mood, whether is major head bangin' Maiden/Metallica
type stuff, or just jamin' with Van Halen or Nirvana or whatever.
Like it all.  Right now I'm hip to Metallica and Nirvana.  And always always
ALWAYS to *THE* band. Led Zep of course.  If they had a church, I'd be lightin'
candles every day.  :^)

Obviously, I'm not a Soundgarden fan...

Glad to be here. (gotta run to a freakin' meeting, damn...)

    I wuz last seen at a DECjam in Marlboro screamin my ass_off and
    pretendin to be Ethal Merman...  Did you miss it?
    
    Fear not; I'm back and I'm jammin thanks to the Crowes and my
    new soul_mate.  Actually, it all started with Aerosmith, but
    that's a long story...  
    
    My biggest goal in life right now is to go in the studio and
    do a kick_ass cover of Joyful Noiz's "Greater is He."
    
    I learned how to sing by puttin on "Mama Kin" and tyin dish
    rags around the end of a hockey stick and listen closely to
    Steve Tallarico (Tyler) while I screamed my_ass_off.  
    How did everyone else out there learn their axe???

    Chad here,
      I'm a DEC temp working in Hudson, (MA) Telecommunications for the 
    summer between college.  I'm 18, been listening to Metal since I was 
    10... Started with Ozzy (Thought the bat thing was most cool...) and
    progressed from there.  Now I'll listen to anything heavy, I'm not
    really into the Warrant, Winger stuff (It's not metal).  
         Hmm, favorite bands, tough one- there's a ton of 'em...
    probably Ozzy, Slayer, Sepultura, Pantera, others...
    Crossover stuff is cool, too (Prong, Corrosion of Conformity, etc.)
    I play guitar, currently just jamming with some friends.  I'm not
    really into the long hair thing, but I don't discriminate, either.
    I have a strong dislike for people who throw unwarranted (no pun 
    intended =)  ) slander at the music; I don't care what they listen to,
    so why should they.  That's about it for me...  Talk to all of you
    later!!

     Hello everybody.  As i've started to enter some notes after reading for
     about a year and a half I think its about time to introduce myself.
    
    I've been with Digital since april '89  I currently work in Stockholm
    Sweden.
    
    I listen to most music except the modern so called dancemusic. My
    favourite HM is most of the 70-early 80th kind of bands like DP AC/DC
    KISS LZ.

    Thats about it.
    
    /P-J
               

    
    >Welcome!  Nice to see some new faces in here!
    
    Well I can't quite get my face in here but I will introduce myself.
    =;^>    
    
    Will Alexander - I work at the Customer Support Center in Colorado 
    Springs and have been with DEC 9 years.  I have the distinct pleasure
    of playing in THE ZONE with Coop who in turn introduced me to this 
    conference.  
    
    I listen to every form of music found on the planet but I only 
    like what sounds good to my ears.  I started Playing String Bass
    (classical) at the age of 8 but did not start listening to
    Hard Rock until '71 (I was only 11) but it was not until I heard 
    bands like Armageddon that I realized that Heavy Metal was unique 
    and why I do not consider Zep or Jethro Tull ]:^) as Metal... 
    
    I will not list all of my Favorite bands/artists since my list is very
    large and includes all other types of music but I will point out that 
    with a lot of bands, I like some of the material very much and other 
    songs of the same band/artist I do not care for - it is just what 
    sounds good to me.
    
    Well anyway I am a

it goes...

My name is Dave Sloat, I'm 26, new to DEC and new to Nashua, NH.
I guess I've been into the metal "scene" (whatever that is) for
about 13 or so years.  Right now I'm more into some
of the grunge/alternative sounding hard rock, but my tastes
run all over the place.  I had the opportunity to meet a lot of
cool bands in the past while I was the Heavy Metal director at
my college radio station (bands such as Armored Saint, Hallows Eve,
Death Angel, Flotsam and Jetsam ... anyway these bands were cool
at the time).

Let's see... Anything else to add here... 

Oh well, my biggest musical regret was the time that I missed a Red Hot
Chili Pepper/Nirvana/Pearl Jam triple bill in late 1991.  I hate it
when that happens.

Other than that, I'm also trying to learn how to play the electric 
guitar so that maybe someday, I too will have a band (if not, then
maybe I can at least get a talk show).

Anyway, that's about it for now...

      Killed the Tzar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain..
    
    - Stop. You're not *that* old!
    
    - I'm 64. Will you still need me, will you still feed me..
    
    - Stupid! You're not 64, you're 46.

    Rather a collector of good Rock (and Blues) CD's than a hard-boiled
    Metal fan, to be honest. I read this conference for quite a while now
    and like its liveliness and humor, as well as your discussion whether
    Satriani or Morse is more emotionless (or was that in another
    conference?). As H_M is my main source of information on the harder
    stuff I owe you thanks for all the hints at groups I wasn't familiar
    with at all e.g. Megadeth, Metallica, Dream Theater, Tesla, L.A.Guns..
    You cost me a lotta Deutschmarks, folks  8-)

Err...

I'm a bit of a read-only in this conference, but I usually note
under CHEFS::GEORGEM, my name's Matt George, and I'm into music
in a big way.

umm....what do I like?  WiLDHEARTS...PJ...Weezer...Oooh, loads of stuff.

But DON'T MENTION GREEN DAY!  They're on a par with the Spin Doctors!

Cheers,
Matt.

    Word is this HM conference is the place to hang these days.I'm Kevin
    (-kev) checking in from the GUITAR notesfile.I'm the worlds biggest
    Hendrix fan and avid collector of his stuff as well.I love all
    music,well pretty much (country and rap {crap} don't sit well with me
    at this present time).I'm with DEC at the Kanata plant in
    Ontario,Canada,and a new-comer as well.
    
    Hullo to all,
    
    -kev
    

    
    Boo! You either know who I am or don't care. If you're smart,
    it's the latter.

    	Hmmm, I HAD an intro note in here ... oh well, it was old any-
    	ways.  Let's try this again:
    
    	Shawn Labounty
    	MRO1-3 [SBO group] formerly FXO, formerly LMO2
    	Marlboro MA
    
    	Live in Uxbridge MA [10 miles from  MA/RI/CT junction]
    
    	I'm currently a Data Analyst, actual title Operations Analyst,
    	and have been for almost a year now, although only for the last
    	2 months officially.  Prior to that I was a Work Coordinator in
    	the stockrooms/shipping/receiving, prior to that I was a lowly
    	Stockkeeper, and prior to that I was an Engineering Tech for 5
    	years before being told I was "excess" and that it was the stock-
    	room or the street.  Been here 8 1/2 years now.
    
    	Current co-mod, and short-lived original host [for 2 months,
    	until the ANT:: system manager noticed what I'd done and told
    	me I had to get rid of it 8^)].
    
    	Ever since a friend played Aldo Nova's "Subject" and Motley
    	Crue's "Shout at the Devil" for me, I've been hooked.  I love
    	the sound an electric guitar makes [well, as long as it's not
    	me that's playing it!!], and combine that with loud drums and a
    	catchy bass line and you can't go wrong.
    
    	Favorites, in no particular order:
    
    	Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Metallica, Krokus, Twisted Sister,
    	Scatterbrain, Steve Vai, Blues Saraceno, Van Halen, AC/DC,
    	Guns 'n' Roses
    
    	Non-metal favorites:
    
    	The Cars [all-time favorite band], Horslips, Weird Al Yankovic,
    	Raging Slab, Styx, Devo, Air Supply
    

    
    
    	Since someone made mention that notes in here got deleted
    	I thought I'd check it out.  One of mine is still here but
    	it's old so I'll update.
    
    	Judy Morrissey....(got divorced, took back my maiden name)
    	Still at ZKO
    	Still known as JJ
    	Still bashed for loving Bon Jovi 
    	Living in Milford NH with my three cats
    
    	I'll listen to just about any kind music except opera.  I think
    	I'm considered one of the old timers in here....there are so 
    	few of us left.  But I'm glad to see some new names floating
    	around, we needed fresh blood.  =)
    
    	JJ

    >I don't have an intro note, and I don't need one ;-)
    
    	Is that "need" or "deserve"?
    

    We don't need no steeking intro note!

    There are some funny-ass intros around the .40 range!

    	My name is Carlos Menendez. I work out of a remote site in Sault
    Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.
    
    	I am what you probably will consider "extreme" heavy metal. Judging
    by the references and most of the notes here, I like the more
    aggressive stuff.
    
    	Some of my favorite bands are Pantera, Sepultura, Slayer, Machine
    Head, Biohazard, Grave, Obituary, B-Thong, Death, and others.
    
    	Because of the geographical situation I'm in, I don't get a chance
    to go to too many concerts anymore, but I'm looking into going to a Pan
    tera concert in the summer, providied they come up close enough.
    
    	That's all for now...
    
    	Carlos

    hi carlos ...
    go to pantera GO GO for it ....

    Gidday!

    Hello, My name is Darlene Phillips.  I work in Hudson Ma.  I've worked
    for digital on and off since I got out of High School in '79.  I've
    never spent much time in notes but I guess its time I did.
    My favorite bands are:
        Led Zep
        Robert Plante
        Live
        Green Day
        Pearl Jam
    
      I guess not what a lot of you would call HM but consider that I'm
    a grandma. And I take my mothering and granmothering very seriously!
    
    I've enjoyed this note file the last couple of days and hope
    to catch some of you cruisin'  
    

    
    oh yeez~the first heavy metal granny! 8)

    ps..I also work in Hudson..fabsix!

    I'm not sure that I'm the first HM grammy but I know this...  The older
    I get, the louder I like my music.
    
    Ian, I work in fab 4.  This is my second stint at Digital.  I quit and
    came back.  Yes, I came back. :-(

	Hi Ian, what's up?  Now that's a young Gran-mama...

     nothing much really...I'll drop by and we can chat!I stopped by the
    other day but you had gone already!
    
    
    					ian

    OK Cap'n Quad.  You must work in HLO too.  How do you know how
    old or young I am?  

	Unless high school was the best 7 or 8 yrs of your life...I took an
	edumacated guess...I don't...ahhh whatever...nevermind...
	
	/CQ

    
    
    Hi grandma Darl.

    Yes Cap'n, I'm a young Grammy, but a Grammy all the same.  I'm glad you
    said Hi.  What else did Jimmy tell you about me?  Anything I should
    know?

	Nothin' nothin at all Should he have told me something???  

	/Cap'n Quad

    No, not much to tell.  I was just curious.  Was that you I just saw
    in the hall pulling the hair out of your head?  Cheer up, I had a
    week like that last week.  Don't worry, next weeks coming for you too!

    
    	Who did that song?  Was it Bonnie Tyler?
    
    	I hate it when I hear a song name and forget who did it!!
    

    
    RE: -1
    
    Shawn,
    
    It was Air Supply...
    
    Oppps...according to HEAVY_METAL rules that should be Xxx Xxxxxx!
    
    /jen
    

    
    	Yes, you're right ... should have remembered that Air Supply's
    	vocals are more feminine than Bonnie Tyler's.

    Or CQ, your next week could be just like this week!!  :-)

    Hello.  
    
    My name is April Barber.  
    
    Some of you may remember me as April Threlfall.  (Yes, it's really me!)  
    
    My original intro is #16.  
    
    Although my musical tastes have changed a little, I still like the
    heavy stuff.  My current faves are the ****Toadies****, Live, Smashing
    Pumpkins, the Foo Fighters, the Presidents of the United States of
    America, Pantera, Silverchair...etc.
     
    On the not-so-heavy list would be Joan Osborn and Contemporary
    Christian artists.
     
    I am a mother of a 2-year old (Alyssa Corinne).      
    
    For the record I want to say I am glad to be back (this time permanent - 
    for real) and I have REALLY missed the people and the atmosphere here.  
    
    Is that hubub I hear?...ab

    Thanks you guys, I am REALLY happy to be back!!!!!!!!1...ab

    Well I've actually been here about 6 months now but, I'm working an
    unusually long and boring evening shift, so.......
    
    I'm Paul Renaud, stuck up here in the frosty cold world of the DEC
    Kanata manufacturing plant.
    I used to live down in sunny San Diego and Los Angeles (Newport Beach
    actually), but got moved back up here in the cold! Why you ask???
    Because my beautiful Canadian wife could not get a working visa, and
    was not enjoying staying home playing Mommy all day.  Besides, with
    only me working I figured she wasn't pulling her weight financially! So
    I brought her back up here and put her to work!!  Coincidentally she
    also works here, building these wonderful machines that we are all busy
    writing with!
    As far as music goes.....mostly anything coming out of L.A., with the
    exception of POISON.  YEEECHH!  I used to hang with a guy who worked
    for Geffen, so my claim to fame is having met most of these people of
    which we speak!
    I also worship the ground that the three Steve's walk on (or sleep
    under).....Steve Vai, Steve Stevens, and Stevie Ray Vaughn!
    
    This message was brought to you by Bobby T, who introduced me to the
    notes files.........................Thanx BooBY!
    
    Paully

    Hi Guys,
    
      I've just recently got my account and have been reading up on this.
    It's pretty cool to have other music lovers out there.
    
    Anyway,  my name is Frank DaSilva.
    I work at DEC in Kanata.
    My favorite bands are Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Whitesnake,
    Motley Crue,  pretty much anything as long as it's rockin'.

    
    <-- Welcome.
    

    Welcome to Heavy_Metal Frank!
    
    'pril

    THANKS FOR THE WELCOME.
    
    IT'S MORE OF A PASSION BUT I'M WORKING ON MAKING IT A PROFESSION.
    I'VE BEEN IN A BAND HERE IN OTTAWA, FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS AND WE ARE 
    LOOKING TO CUT AN ALBUM SOON.   SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY POINTERS OUT 
    THERE I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HEAR THEM.
    
    THANKS,
    FRANK  :-)
    

	Sure Frank, STOP SHOUTING AT ME %^)

	CYA

	/CAP'n QuAd

    Ah yeah, sorry about that Chief!
    Promise I'll never do it again.
    Thanks,
    
    
    
    Frank....
    

    I thought you liked to shout, Cap'n?
    
    8)

    
    	Frank, if you want to cut an album, I'd suggest one of Michael
    	Bolton's ... should be pretty easy to cut with a pair of garden
    	shears, and it'd be a step in the right direction.
    
    	8^)
    

	Does that have somethin' to do with an old P_name 'pril??

	/Cap'n Quad

    Maybe.

    RE:.148
        Thanks I'll look into that.  Michael Bolton is definitly a good
    album to cut.

Hey if you don't like cold weather - how did you last in Burlington?

Slade fan?  Cool choice

I moderate the Vermont conference (your replies were the first I'd had in 6
months)...

I grew up in Shelburne, went to Rice High School and UVM.

I still go back a couple of times a year.  My mother lives in Essex and my
sister in Richmond.

    	Nothing to do in ::VERMONT, eh?

    	I'm at MRO, on the way to Uxbridge MA in a few minutes.
    

    
    > ....these 12 hr. shifts get to ya after a while....%-}
    
    you know it.
    

As of this week I'm living in Holliston after moving from Milford (ma) where we
lived for 11 years.

Vermont has some cool stuff.  I still like Church St stores and restaurants.  We
usually go up in the fall to Smuggler's Notch with my sister for an afternoon of
champagne, M&Ms and macadamia nuts on a big rock near the summit.  The problem
is that way to many people are clogging roads that aren't designed for the
traffic.  When my mother grew up the Old board (Shelburne Rd across from Sears)
was the edge of civilization heading south.  I don't even recognize Shelburne
now.  Sort of like the situation in towns here like Shrewsbury and Westboro I'll
bet they were much nicer 20-30 years ago.

I used to go to a neat bar called the Lighthouse on lower Church St.  It was
owned by the rhythm guitarist for Mahogany Rush (Canadian band - but not Rush)
before it became a 3 piece.  Apparently Frank Marino wouldn't let Bob, the owner
play much of anything so he quit.

Vermont can be boring - depends on what you want.  I think it's nice that many
people in my town owned boats and were able to sail on one of the largest lakes
in the US.  Lots of good skiing a day trip away.

Too many of my friends drank way too much and got into other stuff due to
boredom though...  I like Massachusetts although I still miss being able to buy
beer on Sunday.

Last but not least I'm here for work (people who work with me might disagree but
hey).  I have too many friends working in dead-end jobs up in Vt just to live
there.  I had a friend who was promoted to night manager of a 7-11 type store
after working there for years...  My brother in law is watching the Red Cross
pull out of Burlington and is faced with working in the Medical Center Hospital.

G'day all,

 Nic here, I just found this conference, so I thought I'd better sign in.

 I'm Australian (for those of you with college educations thats the place 
with the Kangaroos NOT the place with the mountains/skiing and guys running
aroung in leather shorts) currently living/working in Munich (Germany, funnily
enough another place that does have  mountains/skiing and guys running aroung 
in leather shorts) - any other Aussies in here??

 Today I'm into Stone Temple Pilots (Core), Guns'n'Roses and Silverchair.

 Tomorrows favorites depend on which cds I grab before I go to work, but in 
general I like ALL music (obviously that excludes rap/house etc etc), my Heavy
Metal roots come from bands like KISS, AC/DC and various punk bands in the 
seventies (god I feel old now) so for some of you seventeen year olds... just 
remember - I was listening to metal before you were born..... now when I was a
lad....zzzzzzzzzz

 Nic

this summer.

    Wow, cool languageness.

    Greetings all ...
    
    Name:	Theo Bellamy (a.k.a. "Bugs" by some - I go through a bag of
    				pre-peeled carrot parts every two days)
    Job:	MCS Project Manager, ex. Field Service Engineer (but who
    				who cares?)
    Location:	Charlotte, NC - been all over - citizen of Planet Earth
    
    I've loved and have been playing music since the early 60's - it is the
    one constant in my otherwise strange life. Started playing Bass Guitar
    in 1970 and after 25 years of noodling I finally got serious and found
    a teacher who could help me _play_ without insisting that I learn to
    read "Lightly Row" and "The Volga Boatman" from sheet music.
    
    Bands I Like: (in no particular order)
    	Van Halen - and, yes, Van Hagar
    	Kings X
    	Rush
    	RHCP
    	Satriani
    	STP
    	Steve Morse
    	... many, many more ...
    
    I like music played with Passion AND Skill. Music played with passion
    alone is just noise, and music played with skill alone is just boring.
    
    Just thought I introduce myself so I can contribute from time to time.
    I am NOT a Ren & Stempy happy-happy-joy-joy noter, and I seem to have a
    knack for pissing people off with my opinionated ramblings. I'll try to
    behave ...
    	
                    

    
    	Welcome, Theo.
    
    	And we DO care about everything you have to say ... especially
    	since you are with MCS and are still with the company.  8^)

    You should fit in nicely then!!

    of VanHalen..

     As stated in 1145 I've just discovered this Note - today. Anyways
    my name is Stephen Bernard, I work at what's left of the OTO office,
    in Facilites. I prefer Heavy Metal but don't mind other rock's ie.
    Southern - Black Crowes. I can tell you when I was 12 yrs old and
    my friends were listening to the Monkees's and Partridge Family etc
    I was getting my first taste of reality AC/DC's High Voltage.
                                                       
    Stephen 

    Thanks for the warm welcome and hello to all the other newcomers.
    
    It's cool to see such an active conference ... almost makes you believe
    there's life in the ol' DEC after all. Just wish I could spend more
    time in here.
    
    Bugs (who lived HM before HM was cool ... can you say Acid Rock boyz &
    girlz?)

    
    	I don't know, let me try:
    
    	Acid Rock boyz & girlz
    
    
    	Yes, I can.  8^)
    

    Excellent!!!
    
    Now .... take this little pill and try again in an hour :-)
    

    
    	"... and the 1 that Theo gives you won't do anything at all."
