    Actually, SFaM entered (!) the german LP-Charts on no.8. How's that for
    popularity?

    Well, not above 100. I looked at the billboard 200 ( numbers 1 thru 100
    cause I didn't wanna pay anything) and they were not to be found. I guess
    the rock market-segment is way larger over here :-)

    Well, it keeps getting better! At least here in germany, things don't seem
    to work out too bad for OFB.
    By the way, it's great to see the tour dates for germany, once again my town
    wasn't forgotten. ( Question for Mike: How often did you play for a sold out
    place in Offenbach?)
    Rock hasn't quite died in germany like it seems to have done in the US.
    On a different note, Korn, RATM etc. is quite big here too, but we do have a
    yearly Uriah Heep Tour to look forward to.
    Think that's all for now

    Not true. As of the November 13th dates on Billboard's top 200 list,
    Dream Theater's Scenes From a Memory was listed at #72. I'd say that's
    not bad at all.

    Hey, what's wrong with these bands? I was forced to listen to the new
    Korn album for my school newspaper to critique it, and I actually *gasp*
    ENJOYED it. It's not bad music - you're just dissing them because they're
    popular. Same thing with ICP: Their music may seem vulgar and
    unmeaningful to one who doesn't listen to it, but if you were REALLY
    listen to the words and the meanings behind the songs, you'd see that they
    put a lot of effort into their music and that they discuss a lot of issues
    like domestic violence, racism, and bigotry in their albums. Try learning
    about what you bash before you bash it.

    Bravo. I agree thoroughly with this thinking. I happen to enjoy ICP a
    LOT, for these reasons. Besides, their music is so FUN.

    Geezus, this is one hell of a good song!!! I just can't believe it how

    about the pirate CDs. :)

    Yeah, that pirate SFAM release gets really big sales here too. People
    frequently stop me to ask me about my FII tour t-shirt. And when somebody
    asks me "what is my favourite band?" and I say DT, there are no more "Dream
    what?" questions, like it was before. And in the latest issue of our biggest
    music magazine there's a big article on DT with much praise about SFAM. I
    guess OFB has got a pretty big name here, so I only can hope for ... Oh,
    well, dreams. They're never gonna come for a show here. Life sux.

    And BTW my S&M and SFAM are LEGAL ones. :PPP

    Peace and merry christmas everyone!

    Ho Ho Ho!

    Gran Turismo 2 for Christmas!

    Just a tip to that guy who posted saying he thought GT sucked because of the
    arrow keys.... Use the analog controller that comes with the Playstation
    and use the JOYSTICK. :)

    Hope everyone on the list has a fantastic new year!!

    Yeah, my brother got it for Christmas as well - I must say that I'm not
    all that impressed with it. I was hoping for the same kinds of
    innovations that Gran Turismo 1 put out there (that is, I was hoping for
    some improvement on the original or something), but it's really just a lot
    more of the same. Sure, there are more cars and different tracks, but I
    was hoping for better graphics, more realistic control of the cars,
    SOMETHING.

    Only one problem with this: Not all PSXs come with a dual shock
    controller, only the new ones. So anybody with a PlayStation that's more
    than a few months (or a year, or something like that) is SOL.
