Hi all,
I need your help to select songs from Metropolis part 2: Scenes From a
Memory.
I'm doing a radio program and next week it will be dedicated to this CD.
I'd like the selection to be as representative as possible for the hole
disc. The problem is that I have to select music for about 30-35 minutes
because the show total length is about an hour. The rest of the time we
explain, analize, discuss, ... the cd.
Thank you very much for your help.
Narc=EDs.

Here is my suggestion:
Overture 1928
Strage Deja VU
Home
The Spirit Carries on
Pam
"Hi"
John Myung, 8/23/1998

Regression
Overture 1928
Strange Deja Vu
Fatal Tragedy
Home
The Spirit Carries On
Finally Free
Which is well over 30-35 minutes.
You could cut Strange Deja Vu after "I'm not the one the sleeper thought he
knew", going to some discussion of the opening of the album and the story
that's being set up. You could then go into Fatal Tragedy to tell a bit more
about what happened that fateful night. If you're rushed for time, I guess
you could fade it at the beginning of the instrumental break.
Then you could do an introduction to Home and what's going on in the song
over the top of the opening, time tbe end of the commentary just right as
the wah-wah kicks in :P That might be cool because it's so quiet at the
beginning that it will slowly creep in behind the commentary and leave
people wondering what's going on for a bit. You've got almost 2 minutes for
an intro there. Once again, if you're pushed for time, you could fade out
after the last of the vocals.
Then you can get a bit of commentary in about TSCO, the choir, etc, maybe
mention Teresa Thomson, cos there's no room in the setlist for Through Her
Eyes, etc. If you need more time, you could do some commentary over the
beginning and bring it in with MP's little drum fill before "I used to be
frightened of dying..."
Then with Finally Free, you can let the Hypnotherapist do your introduction,
then come in over the top and talk about what the song means, thank your
parents, etc. If you can swing the full 10 minutes remaining, bring the song
back in with Jordan's quiet little piano bit just before the lyrics, and let
it run to the end. It would be cool to let it end with the static, no more
commentary, just let that hang :P If you don't have enough time, fade it out
just before you get the sound effects, I guess.
Anyway, just my ideas. I'm sure with some creative editing, fading, etc, you
could work it all out. You may need to do something like skip overture, I
guess, if you really need a few more minutes, but I reckon letting those
three go at the beginning is a good opening.
Let us know what you come up with!

I'm -very- tired of rap and hip/hop....but saying that The Darkness is
not part of that "money machine" is just plain silly. They are getting
pushed by labels and airplay consultants like there's no tomorrow.

Their "throwback to the 80s" sound is kinda interesting, but time will
tell whether their current (targeted, planned) success is a harbinger of
true musical change....or viewed as simply a novelty, to be discarded as
being silly.
If people get more interested in old-school rock and metal thanks to
them, then cool. But when I first heard them, I thought "this is going
to set the metal and hard rock world back twenty years." --And not in
a good way, but in a "this is trite and silly, rock and metal still
can't be taken seriously!" way.
Ironically, the subject above is a Killswitch Engage song-title...and a
comment on the rock music world today. Both bands may be playing
Ozzfest this year. (!)

I thought that "The Darkness" was just a joke band, like Spinal Tap...spoofing 80's metal.

It's good to see ACDC is still alive and well these days :P I saw a bunch of their songs on tv yesterday, and one of them... well, if the lyrics included the word "Thunder" or "Struck", I think they would have been sued. They're not bad, but, at least in the live clips I saw, it sounded like they need another cat to strangle in front of the microphone ;P

I sent in my cash in December to the Arena "the Cage" Fan Club and have not received anything. I have sent them 3 emails and got no response. Anyone on the Jam a member or does anyone know anyone who is? I am trying to determine if I should allow more time or dispute the charge.
Thanks.

Have you tried bringing it up with the band itself? I actually emailed the band before they came to Montreal a few months ago and promptly got a response from drummer Mick. Don't expect them to solve it for you (as I don't think they are that affiliated with the club), but maybe mention to them your discontent. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob P To: Multiple recipients of list Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2004 9:49 PM Subject: Arena Fan Club
