180.0. "Frozen Ghost" by AUNTB::MONTGOMERY (D-D-D-Dittos!) Mon Mar 23 1992 08:20

    
    I'm looking for any information anyone may have about a band out of
    Toronto called Frozen Ghost.  They have three albums out, the most
    current being "Shake Your Spirit".  I know that Arnold Lanni and Wolf
    Hassel were (originally?) with Sheriff but not much else.  I'd really 
    like to know where Arn's been for the past two years.
    
    I'm beginning to get the impression I'm the only person on the  planet
    that's heard them.

    	Well, for the most part, I'm also on this planet and I've heard
    	of them ... and not just because of the note in H_M.  I have
    	their self-titled cassette, bought because I liked [whatever
    	that song was, "What Should I See"?].  Good song, but I don't
    	remember the rest of the album.

	Ditto.  I enjoyed that song too and I seem to recall enjoying		
	the rest of the album.  I don't recall liking too much from
	the second album but I may just have to go back for another
	listen.  I'm pretty sure I would enjoy hearing the self-titled	
	release again.  It has been a while.

	Sorry for nothing recent on them but surely someone on the planet
	or even the net must know something current about 'em.

180.3Let's see, that makes 5...AUNTB::MONTGOMERYD-D-D-Dittos!Tue Mar 24 1992 07:3220
    
    "Should I See" was on the first album.  A song I really liked alot.  If
    you liked that one, then I highly recommend the third, "Shake Your
    Spirit."  I don't know where Arn's been for the past two years but it's
    well worth the considerable  wait!
    
    I didn't like all their songs on both their albums, but the ones that I
    did like, I liked alot.  "Shake Your Spirit" far outshines their
    earlier stuff.  It's a kidney-thumping piece of work and I'm highly
    addicted to all 10 songs.
    
    If you got a spare $10, take a chance.  These guys deserve to be heard.
    
    As for my questions, I guess I'll just have to write and ask him
    myself.  They must be my own personal rock group.  Frozen Ghost, with a
    fan club of one.....
    
    Thanks for the response,
    Helen

    I suppose nobody ever heard of the lead guitarists he brought in on the
    either.  Anybody ever heard of Lawrence Falcomer, Curtis Lee, Colin
    Linden or Wild T Springer?

180.5For future generations....AUNTB::MONTGOMERYFROZEN GHOST IS BACK!!!Sun Aug 02 1992 19:0623
    This note is for posterity.  As my office is looking at a brutal TFSO
    coming up, I have to get in one more word in case I get slashed.
    
    I have been amazed to find that FG seems to be a very unknown goup.  I
    isn't only the lack of response here, but also the blank stares I got
    in Prodigy.  I don't believe that they'll stay unknown, either. 
    They're just too good and I know that the world isn't deaf.
    
    To those of you who responded to me here and offline, let me just say
    that this group has started over.  You can't base your knowledge and
    taste for this group on what they've done in the past.  The current
    work is much, much more professional and much, much more mature; and I
    personally believe that the difference is that Arnold Lanni has beat a
    mean drug problem.  You know, this is your music, and this WAS your
    music on drugs...
    
    To those of you who haven't heard them at all, I'll just say Boston. 
    Supertramp.  If you like those groups, you'll like Frozen Ghost.  If
    they keep cranking them out like they have "Shake Your Spirit" then
    sooner or later you'll hear of them.  I hope that when that happens,
    all you people will remember that you first heard of them from Helen in
    North Carolina.
