Well, as far as I know, the lyrics for "Without You" were almost all made by Eddie. I don't know about the rest of them, though. I think they're almost all done by Gary. >Most of the music still sounds like trademark VH >with a couple new twists.

Well, that "unusual" sound is what I really love about this record. Judging from interviews that I read, I think that one of Eddie's goals for this record was to input new and strange "twists", as you said, on the songs, like those that he always put in his famous solos. As of A Year To The Day, I think it contains one of the most fantastic solos ever done by EVH. Really raw and emotional. >There is one thing that really bugs me, and thats the overly raw >production, even though you can tell it was recorded with very good >eqiupment...it makes for a really weird sound, and with the the amp >buzz here, and the out of tune vocal there, it really gets to me. > I agree with you about the vocals, especially on The One I Want. That one is hard for me to get into. But I think what you're referring to is How Many Say I, that is all sung by Eddie. Really weird. :) I don't know if other people here agree with me, but I think his guitar tone really changed from Balance (and even Best Of) to VH3. It's got much more high-end (I like it, tho), maybe it's his new guitar, the Wolfgang...

Tony uses them on the song called "People" from the THRAK album, Talking Drum and maybe other songs as well. You can see he plays them from the King Crimson - live in Japan 1995 video.

What happened to trading for blanks and postage? Why would you go so far as to actually sell a cdr of these tracks? For someone who has made a bit of noise about Bahr selling officially released Rush stuff, it strikes me as odd that you'd sell these tunes. I wish people would consider trading for blanks more often... it helps people start a collection, and the real goal of boots isn't to get as much as you can that other people don't have... it's to get and spread some really cool material around. The only really responsible way to do this, IMHO, is to make it as cheap and convenient as possible.=20 Christopher W.

It seems that I have had my nest shitted in by offering to trade a CDR of FII demo's. Before you start mouthing off you should have read the guys post properly. He OFFERED ME $15 for a CDR. Did I ask for $15 ?? and I also said only if you have absolutely nothing to trade and I also don't recall agreeing to this either. email_address_removed wrote: > I'll trade you $15.00 for a disc :-) >I would do this only if you have absolutely nothing >to trade ?? I also object to being called a fucking 'Ytserobber', what a load of bullshit. My original plan was to make a CDR of FII demo's for jammers who kept asking about them, and I also said trade only, the guy offered me money, I didn't except it, nor have I had further contact with the guy. This is a clear case of you twisting words to suit your own needs. I am far from a robber, just ask all the jammers, like Eckie, Luke, Insania who I have sent CDR's to for FREE if I am a 'Ytserobber' ? If you can make a CDR for $3 including postage that's your good luck, I can't I don't live in the USA where CDR's are cheap and so widely available.

You weren't, seemed like you were to me, specially after the krackley guy offered $15....but let's put that down to pure coincidence :) Of course I am seeking gain with a trade, but the person who I trade with is also going to get a personal gain from the trade too, I can't see anything wrong with that ? graham ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Apr 1998 03:23:21 -0400 From: "James Arin Colberg" To: Subject: RE: Threshold-favor / Last call for Rush CDs / Asst.
