    --Korg,
    Damn you beat me to the question. I was thinking the same thing.(I actually
    caught the rerun of that episode about 3 months ago) To those who can't
    remember, a clue: He shares the same first name as a famous guitarist. In
    a hugely successful band over the past 30 years. :)

    >>Does anyone remember the made for tv movie Knight Rider 2k? Seems like
    K.I.T.T. was downloaded into an old classic car of some sort and
    K.A.R.R. had taken over the new Knight Industries Two Thousand,which
    was the new body style (firebird?)

    --saw this too---they put K.I.T.T. into a '57 Chevy, they wrote it in that
    Michael Knight owned this car for collectors reasons and they put KITT into
    it.
    And K.R.2k...isn't this where the dreadful Viper show was thought up?

    last note:
    anyone else here get into M.A.S.K.?

    I'm wondering why no one mentiones the 6-Million-Dollar man (was this the
    original name ? I retranslated it). Another great classic from that era.

    BTW: Those shows were aired in late 80's here in germany, but they are from
    the early 80's guess, am I right ?

    A bud of mine just told me all about this show. It sounded like Megadeth was back to their old tricks. That's cool to hear!! There were fires, mosh pits, and broken noses. :) Also the drummer from Hole was playing in Motley Crue. What a trip.

    Have you heard that 8 people died and numbers might grow bigger in Roskilde Fest in Danemark yesterday while Pearl Jam was performing!!!!!!!. The muddy ground and the irresistible compression of the people watching the show squeezed the front row and some fans have died; that's terrible! Pearl Jam cut their shows many times saying people in the front row are having big trouble so the audience should back off.. think of 100.000.000 people watching a show. Well, the Cure canceled their show afterwards as a respect for the people who've lost their lives. Bad news man, bad news...

    Al is the man! If he could play half that crap he did with Savatage ("The Storm" for example) I knew he could learn Megadeth. The real question is... will he actually stay in this band for more than two albums?! I guess it depends if someone more popular comes along. Mark my words though... if anything ever happens to Kirk Hammet... and Metallica would be looking at him... he'd just ship in two seconds. :) > Megadeth played a new tune (which someone I work with told me was a sequel > to "Hangar 18") which really kicked - more modern, yet very reminiscent of > the RIP album.

    Hmm... I think the tune is called "Hangar 1 Revisited". If the new album is like RIP I can't wait! We shall see. :) Just so long as they don't name it "Re-Risk." :)

    Kurt, While I'm a little disturbed that you're THIS into MacGyver it is kinda cool. His first name was definitely Angus. I don't answers to many of your questions, but I do know why he didn't like guns. When he was a kid, he and a friend were playing with a gun and he killed his friend with it accidentally. I also remember he drove a Jeep, wrangler type. I'd love to hear the answers to the rest.

    I liked Knight Rider, but I found that he was just another guy in a cool car. No extra powers outside the car, that sucked for me. So let's take a trip back. Back to the 60's and TV. One of my first favorite TV shows was one called ULTRA MAN, a Japanese real life show about a man that turns into a 50 foot tall aluminum man to fight monsters. It was cool for a 5 year old. That told my age here. Then in the 70's my favorite TV show was THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN. lol I can remember wanting to be as cool as Steve Austin. Wanting to beat the crap out of the local bully by merely picking him up with one hand and throwing him 2 blocks away. I can even hear the sound effects as I did it daaa daa daaaa daaa. Or the soundtrack as I ran down the street doing my Steve Austin impression, da dadadada dada dadadada. I remember lying in bed as a kid trying to go to sleep and dreaming that I was being rebuilt, they had the technology, made me better, stronger, faster. Da dadadada dada dadadada zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Soon after came THE BIONIC WOMAN and I watched that show as well. I always wondered if they had kids if they would be bionic too. Later I found after growing up that even if they had bionics their backs would give out, even if the limbs could support the weight and what they did. Broken back? Not to worry we can make that bionic too. Wait no they didn't do that. Well years went by and finally my question was answered when they did THE BIONIC TV MOVIE starring all the favorites and more. Bionics was still cool and two more people became bionic. These new bionics were even better, stronger and faster. Made the originals look slow and old. Well they were. hehe Just kidding to the actors. So the next time you run down the street or go jogging remember the theme of THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN. Who knows you could even pretend to run like Steve Austin did. Well got to run to work Da dadadada dada dadadada....Da dadadada dada dadadada.........Da dadadada dada dadadada made it to work.

    Hey guys - I found this at progradio.net and thought you might find it interesting. If this has been posted before, I apologize.

    --------------------

    What happened to Clockwork???

    After the completion of our last album, "Surface Tension" we began work on the follow-up disc. It was evident from the start that things were just not happening for us. Writing the extremely technical tunes was becoming quite formulaic and we found ourselves just going through the motions, "two guitar solos per song, stay out of 4/4 as much as possible, blah blah blah." We decided it was time for some major changes.

    We took a hiatus from the band and went our separate ways. By October of 1999 we had gotten back together, inspired and ready to work. At that point we decided, to reflect our new excitement about the band, that we would officially close the book on the Clockwork name. The next six months were spent putting the finishing touches on the new band. Leo Niederriter came onboard to replace Douglas Gillin on vocals and we added a full-time keyboardist, Josh Martin (who has played with Adrian Gaylsh and studied with Jordan Rudess). The new material for the first Target Earth album is coming along very well. We already have four songs done and many others in progress. I'm sure we won't disappoint!!!! :) The chemistry is far greater than anything we achieved in the Clockwork days. So, keep your ear to the ground for more news!!!

    There was another lesser-known car show in the 80's that you might remember. It involved a super-hero which could change into a car at will. He would change into the car and would IMMEDIATELY be going 100 mph. It went so fast, you couldn't see the car, just the blue streak of light behind it. The funniest part about it is whenever he took a corner, he didn't have to slow down at all. The blue streak would just simply bend a perfect 90 degrees and he'd just keep on going.

    What is this obscure TV show I'm referring to?

    it got set on fire a few times but i dont remember anything causing its destruction :)

    > Here's one, how did he stop the fire ants from getting into the house, > after they ate up the fields.

    um, i vaguely remember he dug ditches and filled them with gasoline, and when the ants started getting across on drowned ants bodies, he set fire to the gasoline. i dunno if that was around the house or the plantation though, or if it was even macgyver, i suppose it could be an episode of some other show with a similar story :) my friend says he built a flame thrower and then blew up the dam, that sounds familiar too so i suppose he's right :)

    > Umm. last one on the TV movie what did he use to defuse the nuclear bomb? > (I actually remeber thsi one well too.)

    milk, neon light tubes, small corks. :) haha macgyver was awesome. i always hated the spanish overdubbed version here in PR though. they pronounced his name "mac-geever" :) moo.

    Yup, that's what good ol MacGyver did in that episode. Here the REAL trivia question:

    Name the short story and author that this episode was based on.

    BONUS: Name the movie which was also made from this, and its star.

    Now THAT is trivia. :D

    'Listen' is out of print. If anyone finds copies of it, let the 'jam know. None of the standard vendors (Laser's Edge, MoreMetal, etc.) have it anymore. What a same - it's a great album, but I've only got it on CDR and I want the real thing. I've yet to try the Seigen Records site, but seeing as how it's the lable that released 'Listen', that might be the best bet...

    Fasting is a thing Steve does from time to time, in order to "cleanse" himself. This sounds kind of looney, but until you try it, you can't really understand what it's like. After the 2nd-3rd day, there is absolutely nothing left in the body for the body to absolve, so it starts taking in bacteria and other enzymes that can be harmful and absorbs those, totally cleansing your system. Unfortunatly, if your not in the best of shape to begin with, your immune system will falter a bit in those few days.

    If anyone is interested in trying it, start slowly first with 1 day of fasting, or 2 days. Some people do it for spiritual reasons, others do it for cleansing, others do it for self-discipline. I do it for the latter two, and sometimes because I just don't feel like eating. Sometimes when hunger pangs set it, it can be uncomfortable, but after about a half hour, you hardly remember. So get a good book, and try not to do too much as far as activities go. Drink water as well, that is allowed, (in my fasts, anyways), I take down 10-20 glasses a day, depending on how late I stay up. And now with my discovery of Fruit 2.O, I'll be drinking that.

    As for the guitar part of my post, I noticed that after a while of listening to virtuosos, (Vai, Satch, Johnson, Petrucci, etc.), that the technical side of my playing started to come through, (I started using my pinky for once.....), although I never really sat down and started studying scales or modes. Here and there I'll sit down with a scale and/or mode chart, and start learning them, but I mainly stick with Lydian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Pentatonic and, Phrygian. I should really learn more, but at this point, I don't really use anything else or have the need to use any other scales.

    I think the thing that helped me the most was playing with a band, plus different jazz bands around my school. Reading chord charts can be fun, depending on the song. Playing with a band is always fun. I never used to count while playing along with songs, but playing in a band has FORCED me to count or else it just wouldn't work. For some songs we play, I don't bother anymore, (middle section to "Burning My Soul" and some parts in "5 Minutes Alone", you hear em' and play em' so many times it's like 2nd nature).

    Now with writing music, I think I've started to open up and realize that I don't need to write all these heavy riffs all the time, and it's ok to write something that sounds happy. Once I did that, it was easier for me to write something I really enjoyed working on, and the more I enjoy the song, the more apt I am to follow through with it. (Even though sometimes you just don't want the song to end and it goes and goes and goes and goes.....).

    I think the whole theme is self discipline, so starve yourself for a few days and force yourself to play your guitar for 5 hours a day....it's fun!

    Warm Regards, Andy

    Now what do I get? :) I only know this because we had to read that in 9th grade. Then the teacher subsequently made us watch the movie. hehehe. It's actually a good story, but in the 9th grade I was often too busy trying to look down Cheryl Pilkington's shirt to really admire a good tale and/or movie. ;)

    Strangely, though, Flowers for Algernon and its subsequent movie Charly really caught my attention more than most. It just goes to show what a "loser" I was in Jr. High actually enjoying such literature. :) -- KorgX3 thinks the Ruum was the best of all.

    Someone's probably posted this by now, but it's called "Return to Hangar" and will be on that new album of theres, which will be out sometime this summer I believe. -mike C.

    NP: Megadeth -Return to Hangar...actually I downloaded it but can't find it now!!!! arghhhhh

    Does anyone else here have the Singles soundtrack where the Smashing Pumpkins do this great 4 minute feedback thing at the end. The soundtrack serves as a good reminder that alternative really wasn't that bad at one stage.
