Always interesting to see Sean Connery in his younger years. HEY- Sean C was in Highlander too!<< Where? You might be thinking of Max Von Sydow, who played Ming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >>Regarding Queen...someone wrote about another Queen song being in a movie. I believe the song was "One Vision" or "One World"...or something like that and the movie had alot of jetfighters in it. :)<< It's called "One Vision". It's from "Iron Eagle" and is also on the "A Kind Of Magic" disc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >When was the last time you saw a black artist on eMpTyV's Unplugged?< Lenny Kravitz did an Unplugged in 1994 and aired within the last few months. For us lucky folks that have Muchmusic, we also got to see Lenny Live in Feb. for :90. Three words: Fab - u - luss! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >>Karri- Didn't Queen to a song for Flash Gordon (can't remember the name though)<< They did a whole album. It's not there best, but it's got a few good tracks on it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >elliot's not the only one who likes country. :)< niether's Mathew ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Yet still Winger gets a bad rap.< If Kip Winger wanted respect he should've gone more for substance instead of style. When he finally decided to give up on the teenage girls and play real music, nobody cared (like Cinderella). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >That's a fun game to play. Think of a band, and try to get to Bill Bruford in six steps or less.< Queen: Steve Howe played on Innuendo and Steve was in Yes, so was BB.

It was sent in a few months ago, but I still think it has relevancy. (and no, I didn't write it.)

Macintosh computers are immune to this virus and the number of viruses available is significantly lower than the number available for PC's. So I'll be surfin' while you all are worrying :D << Ha ha ha ha. It's only a matter of time (DT content) before Macintosh becomes the equivalent of the 8-track tape and the Betamax.(no Mac v. PC stuff implied nor wanted - just thought it was funny). :) Alternative music. From what I can tell, just by virtue of it's popularity, Alternative is anything but. In the literal sense, Progressive music is probably the most alternative music there is right now when you consider the radio play and mtv play it gets. I was watching VH1 when there was a special by Symbol Guy (Prince) and it occured to me that no one ever mentions him as a guitar talent. So the guy's a little wacky; he still happens to be an incredible talent. I strongly believe that if Jimi Hendrix were alive today this is the kind of thing he would be doing now. Prince doesn't get much radio play anymore, but he rocks as much as the next guy. Flame me all you want, but IMO Prince can match ANYBODY currently playing the guitar today. Yes that means Vai, Yngwie, and JP. I'm NOT saying he's better or worse, just that he's right up there though. When you think about it, Progressive music and Funk really aren't that far apart musically anyway. Just one person's opinion. Shields up, Mr. Sulu; prepare for flaming!

Overkill 3/27 Poughkeepsie, NY 4/6 Detroit, MI 3/28 Boston, MA 4/11 Wichita, KS 3/29 Old Bridge, NJ 4/12 Cedar Rapids, IA 3/30 Huntington, NY 4/18 Cincinnati, OH 4/1 Syracuse, NY 4/19 Toledo, OH 4/2 Moosic, PA 4/20 Columbus, OH 4/3 Altoona, PA 4/21 Springfield, VA 4/4 Pittsburgh, PA 4/26 Cohoes, NY 4/5 Cleveland, OH I got these off a pretty cool homepage. To Steve Borzilleri (I hope I remembered the spelling ok): Testament already has a song about destroying a city (pouring gasoline over it and lighting) -- it's called "Apocalyptic City" from their first LP The Legacy. If you're just getting into Testament, try out The Legacy and The New Order -- their first 2 albums. Practice What You Preach and The Ritual are pretty cool, too, but not quite as intense as the first two (IMO) -- Souls of Black disappointed me a little. Zack -- while you are recommending DEATH, how about INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT PATTERNS? That's one of the most intense LPs I've ever heard!! Symbolic's pretty cool, too, but I think I.T.P. is more intense. BTW, if anyone has any info. on DEATH touring in the Northeast, please post it or e-mail me. Any results on the D.T. favorite song poll? (Apologies if it's been posted and I missed it). I agree with Ben Lassaude -- THE MIRROR kicks ass (slightly a little more ass than most all of the other D.T. songs (which all kick ass in their own way) IMO)!!!

There would be an update out today, except that my PC is taking a nice huge dump on me this week. Worry not for your orders; my hard drive is fine, it's the motherboard that's screwed. I'm likely to have this fixed in under a week, at which time it's likely you'll see a CD update. I'm calling in off a dumb terminal, and this really sucks. In other news... Antiquities is t-minus just under 3 weeks to shipping, so sayeth the suppliers. Could be sooner if they get off their ass and actually do some work at the printshop... I've done my part... As most of you know Scoobacca (featuring the humble ME on bass) is playing two huge parties (free) on 3/9/96 and 3/16/96 at the same large house in Chandler, AZ... e-mail me if you're in the greater Phoenix area (or will be) and need directions. Update on Spring Break. I'm going out of town with the band from 3/11/96 to 3/15/96, and in all probability will break my leg skiing. I'll catch up with the backlog of mail when I get back, but in the meantime, do not be alarmed by the sudden silence on my end of the line. Ytsecon vote: Vegas. I'd rather it be Phoenix because I live there, but Vegas is where all the cheaper plane tickets go to. There's also ample facilities. There's a reason many conventions are in Vegas. :) I'm issuing sort of a clarion-call to everyone in the continental USA who ordered WDATU. With the exception of maybe 15 more packets that I have to send out, I think I took care of everyone in the first 500. Please e-mail me if you're still waiting for yours if you live in the US and I will attempt to remedy the situation. Most international orders have been sent... I have about a dozen to go. But those can take some time to arrive, so don't panic yet if you do not have it... Antiquities and Scenes ordering is going great! The reservations and paid orders are accumulating at a frightening pace, and there are still plenty of copies available. (after all, 500 is no small number when you're counting in ones and twos). If you're interested in these CDs or want more info, please e-mail me or stop by Jeff Chew's Lifting Shadows web page. Take care all! MTFBWY!

I have this album and it kicks ass. I especially love yje unreleased songs at the end. Now all I need to find is te "Songs To Make Love To" EP. Speaking of Mike Patton, anyone on the jam into Mr. Bungle? I finally picked up their first album this weekend along with Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. Definately a good weekend for getting new albums for me too. later--------------Brian ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Mar 1996 10:30:59 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Die Krupps Message-ID: >>Currently playing Die Krupps - A Tribute To Metallica >I saw that once...is it any good? I ust have missed this sig, whoever it is (looks like Neil Gallop, but I'm not sure), but if I saw it, I woul've jumped right on it. That album makes me laugh. The singer sounds like he's constipated, especially in teh "Hold my breath..." part of One. Its real cool to hear Techno-Metallica songs. Ben if you want me to, I'll dub it for you. I don't know if you'd want to actually go out and buy it-I got it on CD for 6 bucks a a record convention. What I would like to know is has anyone heard the new DK album? I saw Biohazard makes a guest appearance and that interested me. later--------------Brian ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Mar 1996 10:31:01 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: theatre/fatez Message-ID: >I think it was Ben who mentioned how DT was spelled Theatre in the FW - >Parallels liner notes, wasn't FW spelled Fatez in one of DT's liner notes? >I think it was I&W. > >Maybe since Fates misspelled DT's name, DT in return misspelled FW name. > > Someone out on line before the Malibu show said that this is why it says Fatez.

Ha! Message-ID: >MojoMan: Soundgarden is _extremely_ talented. You really should listen to >them before slagging. They are about as close to prog as you can get and >still sound grunge-y. > > I hate the fact that Alice In Chains and Soundgarden are pulled into the whole "grunge"scene. THEY ARE METAL and very talented. After all, the were around before Nirvana and whatever were popular, so why are they grunge? Because they are from Seattle? WTF? That would make Bafu Vai and my beloved Mariners grunge (gasp!) Actually, there is no such thing as grunge. Its all eMTyV and commercial radio's catch to make bands popular. BTW, I can't believe I haven't seen this mentioned yet. Headlining Lollapalooza this year are.......METALLICA AND SOUNDGARDEN!!!! Yes, bith bands are officia;. I heard a rumor that Korn would be there too. Definately cool. later--------------Brian PS-I'mm not saying that you said that SG was grunge, I'm just saying that most people do. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Mar 1996 10:31:53 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Keu Message-ID: You know, i had a whole reponse written up, and I can see that this guy is joking. Waht the hell is he trying to say? He loves DT, but he thinks they shoud go alt. He says DT isn't popular anymore. He thinks we should talk about other things, but he subscribes to the list I think that from this point on, anything theis guy says should be ignored, because he isn't even flame-worthy. And john Arch thought I was a troublemaker! later--------------Brian ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Mar 1996 13:33:13 -0400 From: email_address_removed (ernie) To: email_address_removed, Multiple recipients of list Subject: Hitchikers Guide to A Mind Beside Berklee Message-ID: >> >> Actually, it looks like something off the cover of Douglas Adam's >> _Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_ (I think). > >DING!
