I heard his solo on the "Working Man" tribute album (the song "Analog Kid", track 3) and loved it (way better than Lifeson's :) ). I haven't heard any SX yet, but will shortly, I'm sure (give me a day to get it FedEx'ed from CDNow). I've been searching for "The Dark Chapter" for months, figuring he was just a fucking solo artist. God, I'm a moron. :) David Dixon Internet Developer Integrated Information Systems, Inc. email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Nov 1998 17:05:52 -0500 (EST) From: Rick Audet To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: Tower, LaBrie, SG and other flames Message-ID: Amanda Rosenblum wrote: > and to Joe, if you think its hard to find a progmetal girlfriend, try > finding a guy like that that also likes goth industrial and synth pop, > and who can keep up with the mind of an astrophysics major!

I had "Carved in Stone", and it blew. Any reason why this one is any different? And my responce: HELL YES!!! Tyranny is MUCH better (though I actually liked CiS, I like Tyranny much more). Tyranny is simply an incrediblly well done album! The concept is new and performs really well. The sound is unique (though there are reminants of CiS)... I honestly think this is one of the best albums of this year. Do get it... you won't regret it.

OK, here we go again. Ytsejammers may remember my "Month o' Love" theory? Well, it's that time again! Somewhere around the time between Halloween and Thanksgiving, human hormones will go wild. It's the human mating season. Have any of you felt funny lately? Don't worry, be happy! It's just your genetic imperative to reproduce. Watch for signs, you'll be seeing them soon...(Other than Amanda and Joe here.) my $.50, BH P.S. Amanda, you realize that Joe is enraptured with your mind, but the body of Pamela Anderson Lee is more important to him right now. ;o) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

That's why I think it shouldn't have been in that higher register when he sang it, since you can't understand what the hell he's singing about. You can rewrite what notes will be sung, or maybe even rewrite words so that certain words that are difficult to enunciate aren't used. > personally, i LOVED the fact that James sang that part flawlessly, VERY > impressive He may have sung it flawlessly compared to the album version, but since the album version has the same enunciation problem, then what's the point. Now, mind you, this isn't a flame, but more of a pet peeve of mine. I love his voice, and I think he does an excellent job most of the time. The "Caught in the Web" studio thing - his voice kicks my ass when I hear that - is an example. But when you are going to sing words, sing "words". Otherwise, you might as well make the words into "whoa-oaaaa-oaaaa" or something similar....... -Al ===================================================================== b l i n d l a b o r s t h e b l i n d a n d I a m u n w i l l i n g t o u n c o v e r m y e y e s ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ email_address_removed OR email_address_removed OR email_address_removed HOMEPAGE:http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/9280/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Nov 1998 17:59:57 -0500 (EST) From: Lars Hellsten To: email_address_removed Subject: Revenue Canada KISS MY ASS! Message-ID: Well, *finally* got my OIAL in the mail today (I ordered from CDNOW about a week before it came out). Listening to it right now, and what can I say? It rocks, just like everyone has been saying. I'm glad someone finally got the right idea and turned up the keyboards in the mix. Two problems. First, I too got a promo copy. WTF is up with that? And secondly, I got this nice big fucking Revenue Canada customs import form stuck on the package. So I get charged GST and a $5 handling fee on it. WTF is that? I've ordered stuff (including larger orders) from CDNOW before and NEVER had this happen before. Do any other Canadians here know how this stuff works? So... Revenue Canada: fuck you, greedy bastards! The joke's on you. Let's see you try and steal 7 bucks from me 5 years from now when I'm living in the US! Ha! Holy fuck, Voices just started...

It's OK, but not as a QR album, if you get what I mean. It's a decent 'alternative' album, but OF COURSE does not measure up to O:M or Empire, for example...

There's been talk of JM and DS splitting from the band and wanting to concentrate on Platypus.....the band also seems to be having communicative problems ("what's the next album gonna be like?" "I don't know, what do you think?" etc.). Do any of you guys know further details?

KISS was never about > 10 minute guitar fests. Their songs are fun, party type songs. That's > it. Obviously if you only like music like DT, you wont like KISS. Wrong. The Kiss song "Jungle" is definitely in the running for Song of the Decade, as far as I'm concerned. It's got a REALLY catchy melodic guitar theme (like Collective Soul or Creed), and a fair amount of "balls and chunk." He even SINGS well! I heard it on the radio once and was hooked. This happens to be the only Kiss song I know (other than "Rock and Roll All Day"), and therefore the only one I like. But I *really* like this song. Pat -- are their other albums/songs anything like this? Maybe I'm a bigger Kiss fan than I realize .
