This is probably the healthiest way to look at FII. The band's trying something out. Give them a little patience, and we'll see how they react to our reactions. It's the same thing as trying a new live jam, except that it takes a good 6 months to a year to get the reaction, instead of 5 minutes.

Again.) I picked up The Best of King's X. While not as heavy or progressive as I was expecting, I found it to be a really good cd. Anyway, IMO!, they sound a lot like Extreme. My questions are: Does anyone else hear the similarities? Who influenced who? Is this cd really the best of King's X? NDTC so private mail is ok. Forward it to the ET list while you're at it. :) The theme of this post is King's X and I'm sure Mike Bahr would agree, ~Trevor wants to meet that twisted sister Eckie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Apr 1998 04:47:45 -0700 From: "Suplizio, Jim" To: "'email_address_removed'" Subject: DU HAST!

Just plugging your ears with your fingers makes it sound twice as good, but you can't do that all night. Well, you could. But I wouldn't. I'd never get to 'accidentally' fondle the chicks in front of me. So I took a look at the drugstore, and they had 5 or 6 different types, all basically soft foam that you squish into a little cylinder and cram into your ear canal. They had the decibel reduction rating right on the package; they all reduced the noise by 28-33 decibels.(decibles? I don't think so, I know it's short for "deci" "bell"...) Anyway, that's enough to prevent the following after concert situation: guy1: cool concert, huh? guy2:(looks at shirt) Thanks, I got it for christmas! guy1: Go take a piss?

Ok, I just had to jump out of my hole and post something because so many people were writing something about FII. I can only say that I really love this album. I can't understand, how somebody can say that this album isn't as good as Awake or IaW. Of course, this is all a matter of taste and of course everybody has to judge by himself what he/she thinks is best. The only thing I don't like too much is the overall sound of the album. But this again is just a matter of taste. Somehow the sound fits to the songs though. And I like the songs as they are. I'm not a big fan of CD's where some musicians just want to show how fast they can play that scale on the guitar and that roll on the drums. On FII are real songs and IMHO that is it what music is about. There is feeling in the songs and I like that. So I have not much to complain here. :) I also really love Awake and IaW but for different matters. IaW is for me an album where 5 incredible musicians show how great music can be if you are highly skilled on your instrument. Awake is more heavy and I like it therefore. Every DT album has its own soul somehow and I like each of it for different reasons. And I'm sure that the next album will sound different again and some people will like it and some won't. DT shows, that they progress in their "work" and maybe that's it what causes the changes in songwriting and sound of an album. If they would only release the same stuff every time, people would probably loose their interest also. I can only say that I like all of the albums. Amen. :) Happy jamming. :) Bye Bernd PS: For those who are interested in Superior: We're mixing the songs at the moment and I think I can say that we will get a killer sound for the new album. Just to make you curious. :) I'll try to put out the next Superior newsletter in 2 weeks or so.

It must have been The Gene Krupa Band since Gene Krupa was the first drummer to utilize double bass. My thoughts about FII... The album could have been better if the mix would have been done properly.Not much, though. New Millennium. Kinda nice at first but it gets boring real quick. You not me. Cool song at first but it doesnīt stand up to many listens. Peruvian Skies. Again, a good song at first but gets boring after a few listens. Hollow Years unlistenable.Live it was kinda nice. Burning my Soul. One of the better songs in FII.It was great live.I still wouldnīt listen this many times in a row. Hellīs Kitchen. Almost unlistenable.Sounds more like a free form jam than a complete song. Lines in the sand. The best song in the album with very few(if any)boring parts. Take Away my pain. Listening this all the way through is a daunting task.I wonīt do it voluntarily any more. Just Let me Breathe Best song after Lines in the sand.That little "discussion"between guitar and keyboards is great. Anna Lee Unlistenable Trial of Tears This song was kinda good at first but now I donīt like it at all.Too predictable and boring. -Vilzu- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Apr 1998 08:29:46 -0400 From: "Christopher R.

Don't you think that traveling is also one of the main themes of "Fly by night"? Think of "Fly by night", "Making memories" , "Rivendel" (Tolkien!!). > Individualism is a lock for Anthem, I would say that "Anthem" is about what he [Neil] at the time saw as the ethical base of individualism, namely rational self-interest.

Message-ID: Wow, this Hank thing is REALLY taking off!! When I sent the message the other day, he had about 300 and some votes and was sitting at #35. Now, he has over 3000 votes and it NUMBER 2!! He's right behind Leonarde DiCraprio. He needs less than 1000 votes to take the lead. Please go to the following site and vote if you haven't done so already... http://www.pathfinder.com/people/50most/1998/vote/index.html Again, this is for People Magazines 50 Most Beatiful People list. Who knows if Hank will actually make it in the magazine (I'm sure they drop him as a joke candidate) but it'll certainly be fun to see him beat out that little punk DiCraprio. He's already passed Hanson and the Backdoor Boys. !! Gotta love him for that! Make sure you get the name right, it's...

Guess who wrote about Opeth?! :-) Anyway, what I said was that they were the second biggest selling act from Century Media. They're not the biggest ones (which is Emperor).
