    In Mike Bahr analysis of King's X, he says that there "Legal Kill" is the
    only pro-life rock song in existence. Doesn't Galatic Cowboys' "If I Were a
    Killer" also have a pro-life vibe. I don't want to start abortion as a topic
    of discussion here on the jam, I just want to address that song as having a
    pro-life stance.

            Now I could be mistaken, but I was just running through the liner notes on
    George Bellas's solo album, and I believe it said something about keyboard solos by
    Matt Guillory. Iffin' that's the same Matt Guillory as the aforementioned (and I
    don't think that's such a common name), here's another DAMN good reason to check out
    Bellas's album on Shrapnel Records. They keys are just as psycho as the guitars on
    this disc. Maybe a preview of what we can expect on Chaos Theory's album?

    > from time to time.

            You'll be pleased to hear that they have a new drummer. Kevin Soffera (the old
    drummer) seems to be way more into Fusion than prog, so he left to pursue that end.

            That it is, and sound bytes WILL be available soon.

    > I found the band's official website on the web: www.epix.net/~kbhansen

            I guess that makes it Lemur Voice syndrome, because they must have 2 official
    pages. Chris Ingles and friends are working on a site, as I mentioned before, at
    http://www.prognosis.com/shadow/

            Can't get much more official than from the band directly :) That's where
    you'll wanna look for the new samples pretty soon. I'll let you all know when they
    arrive!

    Sorry, couldn't resist :) Lycos is just too damn much fun sometimes!

            I can certainly take a joke :) but in all seriousness:
            Glam is a trend, just like flannel was to the Seattle and Boston music
    scenes (although that is dead too!) The music of this period was excellent.
     It's some of the best stuff (talent wise) that ever came out. If you
    listen to the stuff that you either:
    1. Threw away
    2. Stuck away in your closet hoping that some day it'll be cool again
    3. Sold in your yard sale for .25 a tape :)
    4. Can't find
            You will see that this stuff is actually really good. My buddy turned me
    back onto this stuff. He believes that the 80's will never die! I agree
    now.
            If you look beyond the big hair and women's clothing, you might see the
    talent. :)
            The Village people are not to be compared to the 80's, they were disco.
    Glam is 80's metal. Come on man! Lata, J

            Someone asked about the verses of beggining and ending of Carolina IV
    (Angra, btw).. So, I've tried to figure it out by mylself and I couldn't..
    Humm.. that's why there's a fuqing faq somewhere. For all of you interested
    in, it's on www.regra.com.br/musica/angra/

            If you are lazy (me?) here's the verses:

    9. What do they sing in the beggining of "Carolina IV"?
    -------------------------------------------------------

    They sing two choruses in Portuguese in the beggining of "Carolina IV".
    According to Rafael, here's what they sing:

    "Salve salve Iemanjá,
     Salve Janaína
     E tudo o que se fez n'água
     Jogam flores para o mar
     Deus salve a Rainha
     E o meu traço nessa esfera...

     Um caboclo de orixás
     Logo deixa a Terra
     Vai de encontro à sua sina
     Onde o céu encontra o mar
     Achará seu porto
     E é assim que isso termina..."

    And I'm sorry, but I'm still trying to find a way to translate it to
    English... :)

    Got something funny to add to the Andre Matos accent
    discussion.......

     I played Holy Land at work for a couple of fellow technicians
     and they both said something like " I like these guys except
     the Vocalist sounds EXACTLY like that singer from LOUDNESS!!"

    Ya know...I kinda think there IS a certain similarity....but since
    Loudnessesseses (too dam many ssssses) singer was JAPANESE
    I'm not at all sure why this would be so.

    Any one else think so?

    These guys also liked Superior's Behind a lot except they felt the
    sound was too much like DT. IMHO they have a very original sound
    with less progressive tendencies and less keyboard work than DT.

    Speaking Of Superior-Any of you Jammers who haven't ordered this
    from Dream Disc need to do so. It's only about 13 bucks and worth
    twice that. Very heavy, very melodic and it grabs you right away and
    never lets go. My only wish-More solos next time guys ; )

    Question for the Jammers

     Thinkin about ordering Symphony X Divine Wings.
    I didn't like Echolyn or Shadow Gallery (the only dissapointments
    I've had with Jammer recomendations). Not heavy 'nuff for my
    tastes.

    Mike Bahr, please e-mail me. I lost your e-mail address, and I'm
    forced to take desperate economic measures and cancel all my CD
    orders.

    Whoever you are who posted the King's X overview (I think it was
    someone with the address of durnik@goodnet.edu or something), that
    was a really good breakdown of all of King's X's stuff. I plan on
    grabbing a few of their discs the next time I get some moolah. Too
    much of my money these days is being spent on male hookahs.

    Oh, and also.. Pam Wheaton, never mind, you don't need to e-mail me.
    I have it all taken care of.

    Sorry again for the clutter, folks.

    Cradle Of Filth are a scream alright, they all wear full face make up and
          in every picture I have seen of them they try to look as mean 'n'
          evil as possible but I find them hilaroius. Their music I would
          describe as standard death metal, with some nice keyboards and female
          voices, nothing spectacular.

    They seem to be an image band to me, here in Sydney, the one shop that
          stock their merchandise sell more t-shirts than CD's, figure that one
          ?

    HI jammlings!! :)

    Ok, as there were quite a lot people talking about my (my?) band
    Superior I decided to crawl out of my hole and post something
    here... :)

    I'm sorry that I didn't show up here for a few months but I just
    didn't have the time to read all the jams. Just wanted to tell you
    that I'm still alive... :)

    For any people who need some information about Superior, have a
    look at http://gaia.owl.de/~fine/superior.html
    This is (one of) our homepage(s) and you find a lot of info
    there about our band (people, pictures, soundclips, lyrics,
    Newsletters, ...). If you have any problems to find our album
    feel free to email me at basmer@med-rz.uni-sb.de and I'll
    send you some addresses where you can find it.

    Thanks to all people who wrote so positive things about our
    band recently. You rock! :)

    Just to let you all know... we're currently writing some
    new songs (just recorded a few on 8-track) for the next
    album. We're going to be in studio again from the 8th
    December on and the next album will be out in Feb./March
    next year.

    Ok. All for now. Maybe I should read the jams more often... :)

    Bye.

    Aren't you paying attention to that opening *zzziiip*? Geez, everyone
    thinks that that's something being UNzipped, but it's obviously not. It's
    a woman zipping up a jumpsuit so she can go skydiving. She just likes to
    give blowjobs WHILE skydiving...

    Whoah, dude... I just, like, discovered how to surpass the "unsurpassable"
    adrenalin-rush skydivers are always talking about... Be right back...

    > I saw an interview with Nikki after they fired Vince Neil Wharton and
    > he said they fired him because Vince wanted to go in the direction of
    > bands like Poison, and they wanted to get heavier.

    I heard they were planning on going heavy right after the release of Dr.
    Feelgood. Nikki Sixx said, before the tour even began, "our next album is
    going to be total balls-to-the-wall heavy stuff" which I inferred to mean,
    "there won't be any feathery 'time for change' shit on our next album."

    As for why Vince was kicked out of the band, I heard and read in an
    interview with the band that "basically he wanted to race cars more than
    he wanted to play music." This statement was partially true as Vince Neil
    was a big racecar-driving fanatic, though I think at one point all rock/
    metal musicians have had their picture taken in a Pennzoil 1 Racer...

    However, this statement was driven back into Motley Crue's face like a
    railroad spike not six months later when Vince Neil bounced back onto the
    scene with "You're Invited But Your Friend Can't Come" on the soundtrack
    to "Encino Man." So yeah, the boys told Vince to Get The Hell Out Of Here,
    but there they were without a vocalist for MONTHS and here was Vince Neil
    on heavy MTV rotation with the video, which featured the members of the
    band Ted Nugent is in now, the name of which I can't remember...

    Satanic with gothic makeup and bizarre shoulder-pad devices. Glamorous
    runway models. Leather-clad badboys with motorcycles. Asylum residents
    surrounded by voluptuous nurses with large syringes (though I'm not sure
    exactly what trend they were trying to set with that one). As it is I'm
    not sure how much guys like Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee could "change" their
    images as their arms are somewhat covered with graffitti. Not unlike a NEW
    YORK SUBWAY.
