Sheesh, how outdated is religion anyway? It should be kept up with modern times, that yes, people > have different sexual preferences. Would you call a person who thinks he is a vampire and goes around drinking people's blood and person with a preference or a person with a disorder? Religion does try to keep up with modern times generally.Whether it succeeds or not is beside the point Everytime someone converts to a particular faith it is up to them to decide what they want to believe.

I haven`t checked my mail since Friday cause I wasn`t home... and now i press the damn "sync all" button and get like 10 jams... damn it, you`re not wasting your time! yea, 4 more till digest 5000, i know! Anyhow... i was at this concert at Friday. Well, i highly doubt that any of you (besides Cyberduke) have ever heard of this guitarist from Macedonia named Vlatko Stefanovski. Well, he was a guest at the show of Gibonni - and he is like one of the best singers and writers here in Croatia... it`s nowhere near prog but i really like him. So, Vlatko played guitar on Gibonni`s last album... AND Vlatko was voted for the best guitarist in pop music by Guitar Player magazine. The guy is absolutely fucking amazing! Even though he didn`t had to much place for solo acts within the songs, he played some killer intros... i bought his latest Cd at the show and got it signed. There aren`t any too progressive songs on the album but i think that some of you jammers might like it... Vlatko uses alot of scales and elements from macedonian folk music. He is definately the best guitarist in eastern europe... Anyhow, for the first time in my life i tried to tape the show... and it turned out very well. So, if anyone is interested to hear some nice shredding by Vlatko, let me know and i`ll make you an mp3... This summer is going on pretty well... last weekend i saw Mike Oldfield, at friday i saw these two guys, next weekend i`ll see Vlatko again with his trio and Whitesnake... hey, didn`t Steve Vai play in Whitesnake for some time?

Since Break was released I haven't heard a damn thing about them. :\ Word is, some of the band wanted to dive right back in after their European 'Break' tour and some of them had no interest in doing so. They haven't broken up, but they ARE in an extended holding-pattern. Which might as well be broken up. Who knows? BTW, you can now get Paul Craddick's solo effort (which still features all of Enchant) on InsideOut now, so all the internet import places are probably carrying it. Lastly, Enchant's 'Break' RULES.

Are they still a band? > Shit. Since Break was released I haven't heard a damn thing about them. :\ According to Paul Craddick, the band is looking to start writing the follow-up to "Break" later in the year. If you want some good Enchant stuff to hold you off until then, pick up Paul's solo project - called "Xen" - which is now on InsideOut Records in Europe. It features all of the other Enchantiles (Ted, Doug, and even Benigmus) on the project. Personally, I consider it Break's sister album - it's less serious and not as dark as Break is. - mike. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= erotomania! - http://www.erotomania.org -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Jul 1999 07:12:57 -0700 From: "William Kimbril" To: email_address_removed Subject: Virgin Steele Message-ID: Hello List, Can anyone tell me about this band?

Though it doesn't seem to be working right now, Virgin Steele's official website is http://www2.crosswinds.net/new-york/~invictus/ Invictus is a really good disc, but beware some of the older VS albums. These guys have been around for a long time, since the 80's, and their old stuff is NOT good, IMO. Go with Invictus, and maybe the Marriage Between Heaven and Hell pt. 1 and 2, but I wouldn't recommend anything older than that.

An unamed person said Bob Rock ruined metallica. I thought this for a long time. But then I heard the demos to the "album with no name or title, or PRODUCER", and they sounded the same. Bob just tweaked their sound, whcih honestly, the Black album is the best when it comes to putting music to tape. Now they have a more raw type of sound. They did grow their hair back long, so all those worries can stop it.

Would this be considered >"Selling back In?" Well, I don't know. They had a show here on 3rd June, and it was the second best show of my life. (The first was DT's show 16th June, 1998). They had long hair then, but not the length of the hair was that counted. They did not play even one crap-song from the Load-Reload albums. Just the heavy stuffs. They played songs from Master (Battery), Ride (Fight Fire with Fire, Creeping Death, Ride), and they did not forget to play One. In addition they played a lot from the Black album. So they were incredible. Two bands played before them. Two 'trademarks'. The first that kicked some asses before Metallica was Merciful Fate, the other that sucked some cocks was Monster Magnet (Bleah.)
