It's probably the most famous. It's right on the strip, or at least little after it (if you're heading east). It has a heart-shaped sign out front. That's where a lot of rockers in the 80s got their ink done (Motley Crue comes immediately to mind). In fact, if you watch the Dr. Feelgood video, you can see a snippet of the Sunset Tattoo heart-shaped sign burning in flames.

I apologize in advance for the tenuous DT connection here, but since I've noticed that this list also tends to function as a forum for fans of the prog- metal genre in general, with an emphasis on DT in particular, I thought I'd share with you the monster take I hauled in at today's record show in Wayne, New Jersey. This was without a doubt a day spent in prog-metal heaven, thanks to the fine folks at Sentinel Steel and JART Music. Things didn't start off particularly well when I saw that Bob Wolf of "Sights and Sounds," a good friend and excellent source of progressive rock CDs, was absent from this month's show, as he was from last month's, but I was pleasantly surprised at the presence of a tall guy in an Angra shirt, standing behind a table full of *extremely hard to find* progressive metal discs. I mean, we're talking stuff that I've wanted forever, right there in abundance, all right there before me: Black Jester, Conception, Kamelot, Elegy, etc., etc. I stared in amazement alongside my friend Adam and then dove eagerly into the bins. When I came up for air, I clutched the following: Black Jester, "The Divine Comedy" (a great Italian band that for some reason insists upon keeping their weak singer, though I'll admit the guy *did* improve considerably on their last album); Eldritch, "Seeds of Rage" (the bits I heard from this sounded a lot like DT meets Superior; Sieges Even, "Life Cycle" (one of this veteran German outfit's older albums, and from what I've read, one of their best); Skylark, "The Dragon's Secrets" (I'd never heard of this Italian band before, but was intrigued by the fact that this one's got choirs, harps, strings and everything including the kitchen sink--no one goes quite as over the top as Italian proggers, IMO); and Watchtower, "Energetic Disassembly" (their first album, finally available on CD--happy happy joy joy!). I had wanted to purchase the two Kamelot albums he had, but held off because I figured I might find something else I wanted more... Which I did at JART Music's table: ah, at long last, "Twilight in Olympus," the newest opus from Symphony X (for my money, the best progressive metal outfit this side of Dream Theater), and Vanden Plas' "The God Thing," which I'd wanted since reading all kinds of wonderful things about their performances opening up for DT on the European leg of the "Falling Into Infinity" tour. I wrapped up my purchases with a very nicely shot Dio video (Philadelphia, June 15, 1997) and -- YES!! -- the brand new Stratovarius 2-CD live album, "Visions of Europe," which I got for the unbelievably low price of only $36.00 (a good thing, considering how much I'd already spent at the Sentinel Steel and JART Music tables!). It was a very good day, my fellow prog-metal mavens. Just thought I'd share. Anyone out there familiar with Eldritch and Skylark? I'd like to find out more about them. Thanks for reading all this, and for any and all responses. Take care, everyone... -- Jeff :^) NP -- Symphony X, "Twilight in Olympus" (KILLER disc so far...!) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Apr 1998 12:24:36 +1000 From: graham boyle To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Blaze and Maiden Message-ID: Christian P Kremo wrote: > > Why DT chose KJLB as their singer with all the other talent out there > > I'll never know.

Yeah, he finished the contest in 4th place... Which criteria has S. Harris used to choose their singer? I find it highly biased to discard such talented people such as A. Matos and M. Kiske to offer the position to someone who really has a shorter range than me. And this *doesn't* mean I'm a good singer (in fact, I admittedly suck when I'm singing).

This, generally, is what frustrates me about DT's lack of recognition by the (m)asses. I'd say 9 out of any 10 people I've played DT for (including my sister, who's subjected to it just about every day on the car rides to and from school) have been into it, and at least 5 of any 10 have either asked for a tape or gone out and bought I&W themselves. My mom doesn't really understand metal at all - *side story: Once we were in my car, and I put on a jazz station, and my mom looked shocked that I left it on for more than 3 seconds. "You like jazz? Hmm. I thought you were only into that 'Satan music'." *sigh* . . . ;) - but I've played DT for her, and she likes it, especially I&W and ACOS. My *other* sister listens to rap and other such *enter noun of choice*, but she's said good things about DT upon hearing their music blaring through my stereo (drowning out her [c]rap :) in my room. And it goes beyond family . . . I've "converted" more than a few non-metal fans, including a hippie (!), as well as a few "only-the-brutal-shit-for-me, thank-you" metal fans who normally don't like anything melodic or progressive. Keep converting out there, fellow 'jammers. It's *not* very hard, in most cases. At least from my experience . . . > Okay, SAVATAGE question.

We combined those printing needs into groups of similar categorizes (Such as paper, size, weight, binding, etc...) and then present them as one total job to the best suited printer.
