I was quite surprised when I heard them do "dreamline" on the radio. Before playing it, the DJ said (paraphrased): "we're probably the only station in Baltimore that has the balls to play Rush?" And besides it's a lot better than that pussy station called HFS. Brandon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jul 1997 00:20:15 -0400 From: email_address_removed (D. J.

Sort of a Well, I see that as part of the problem. There's also the fact that most people don't need or want music to be challenging or complex. All they want is a nice beat to move their booty to. Who cares if the artist sold out, or only know three chords on his guitar. If its catchy and they can dance to it, its good enough for them. We're the weirdos who need music to be more than that...the ones who can't stop buying CD's, and constantly looking for music that will move your mind as well as your booty. Here's a challenge: try dancing to the instrumental part of Metropolis.:) : It's all a necessary evil really...the "business" half of "music : business." If there's a trend goin' around, the industry's going to ride : it 200%, because, in summation... : : It's all about money. >:) : Yeah, but you can work yourself around it.... it's difficult, but possible.

Message-ID: Hey, I'll make this short and sweet. Are you in the Met Club? Do you call the black album by it's real name? Do you know who the original bassist and/or guitarist for Metallica were? Have you ever been to a Metallica show? Have you any lyrics memorized? I think I made my case. If you have only now gotten into Metallica, or any band for that matter, I find it hard to say that you are the biggest fan. I bet that might even offend people that were in the pits at the concerts for Kill 'em All (ever heard of that album? :)) Had to get that off my chest.

Message-ID: MEGADETH LAUNCHES TOUR ON INTERNET Megadeth may be launching its U.S. tour in Las Vegas Thursday night, but the band will mark the occasion on the Internet. Dave Mustaine and company will hit their Megadeth, Arizona website (at hollywoodandvine.com/megadeth) at 6 p.m. Eastern time for a live, two hour, RealAudio chat with fans. Users will be able to actually hear the band address their inquiries, and will be able to see animations of the band. Considering that the band recently released a top ten album, "Cryptic Writings," and is about to embark on a tour, there will probably be no shortage of subject matter during the chat. However, to add grist for the chat mill, the band will donate a guitar to the Hard Rock Cafe immediately after the online event, and will go on to meet with the woman chosen as the second annual "Miss Megadeth" at the band's show that night. If you can't make the chat, Pollstar says you can actually see the band in the flesh on the following dates: 7/24 - Las Vegas, NV @ Joint 7/25 - Las Vegas, NV @ Joint 7/26 - San Francisco, CA @ Warfield 7/28 - Salem, OR @ Salem Armory 7/29 - Seattle, WA @ Mercer Arena 7/31 - Salt Lake City, UT @ SaltAir Pavilion 8/1 - Morrison, CO @ Red Rocks Amphitheatre 8/3 - Kansas City, KS @ Memorial Hall 8/4 - St. Louis, MO @ American Theatre 8/6 - St. Paul, MN @ Roy Wilkins Auditorium 8/7 - Milwaukee, WI @ Eagles Ballroom 8/8 - Chicago, IL @ Aragon Ballroom 8/9 - Hebron, OH @ Buckeye Lake 8/10 - Cleveland, OH @ Agora Parking Lot 8/12 - Detroit, MI @ State Theatre 8/14 - New York, NY @ Hammerstein Ballroom 8/15 - Mansfield, MA @ Great Woods Center 8/16 - Asbury Park, NJ @ Convention Hall 8/18 - Pittsburgh, PA @ Ice Garden Arena 8/19 - Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club 8/21 - Sanford, FL @ Tsunami 8/22 - Sunrise, FL @ Sunrise Musical Theatre 8/23 - Palmetto, FL @ Manatee Convention Center 8/26 - Dallas, TX @ Bronco Bowl 8/27 - Corpus Christi, TX @ Texas Sky Park 8/28 - San Antonio, TX @ Sunken Garden Amph. 8/29 - El Paso, TX @ El Paso Civic Center 8/31 - Phoenix, AZ @ America West Arena miss megadeth?!?! ****************************************************************************** * david y. kobayashi email_address_removed "i'm afraid of americans, i'm afraid of the world. i'm afraid i can't help it. i'm afraid i can't." d. bowie ****************************************************************************** * ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jul 1997 01:36:31 -0400 From: email_address_removed (Aaron K.

Message-ID: Hey gang, Sorry I haven't been keeping up. . .my wife just deleted about 6 weeks' worth of back 'jams. . .but I feel I must comment on Tuesday night's Fish-stravaganza. Oy-yoy-yoy-yoy! Now, I am a bit of a Fish fan, but not a huge one (well, maybe after this. . .). I'm mainly into his work with Marillion. But jinkies, Scoob, the man puts on one fabu-tastic show! 2 1/2 hours of a band on fire, and audience singing along and following clapalong instructions like a machine. . .ever seen a band used to playing arenas in a club? (Maiden springs to mind. . .) Suffice it to say, a mind-blowing experience. His band was awesome, especially the new guitarist. . .even if you think his solo discs are on the mellow side, you should check him out if you can because the energy level at this show was unbelievable. Now I'm going to have to get some of those live CD's he put out. . . Also coming up in a couple of weeks: Masters of Reality! Golly, guys, we thought you were dead! Anyone heard their new material yet? Someone was outside the Fish show handing out flyers for the upcoming Marillion show! Maybe I'll check that out too. . . And finally, to all you fucking bastards (pardon me tongue) who didn't go to Prog Rock Nite and let it die even though it was FREE, for fuck's sake, I ran into Bob Wolf at the Fish show and he told me that it's starting up again at a club in Brunswick NJ next month. . .I forget which club, but he's supposed to email me about it. Let's not let this thing disappear again, folks! Sure, not every band that played was great, but you didn't even need to ask for a refund, and where else can you walk in and pick up things like the original Spock's Beard disc, US Asia, Braindance, Raphael Rudd, etc. etc. etc. etc. all at very reasonable prices?????????
