I wouldn't say that Donnette Thayer represented "the Game Theory sound" in
any way.  She came late to the band, and the 2 tracks of hers on Lolita
Nation sounded like they were on the wrong album.

>Some questions:

>Is Game Theory any good?

They are very good but they don't sound anything like Hex.  Not at all.
Their sound is basically the "perfect pop song" combined with the
smartass intellectual lyrics of Scott Miller.

>Is the first album any good?

The first Hex album?  It's halfway decent if you like the "ethereal" sound,
but my opinion is that, while it sounds pretty and nice, it's mostly 
forgettable.  I never got he second Hex album so I can't say how they
comapre.

You've all forgotten NMN's two 7" releases, both of which predate Mama.  Also,
while Mama has the NMN sound that we all know and love, the two 7" sound
_distinctly_ different (except for one song on the second ep).  They are:

"Look! Here Come the Wormies!"
"Betrayl Fear Anger Hatred"

If you look hard enough in enough stores maybe you'll get lucky.  

Also, I saw no mention of the 7" they did with covers of "Oh, Canaduh" (the
Subhumans classic) and "New Age" (originally by D.O.A..

  Actually, it just got a CD reissue not too long ago. It included their
  debut 7" 4-track EP as a bonus.   I do admit the CD sounds like a
  big demo tape, but if you're a hardcore fan....

   The guitarrist and vocalist, Andy Kerr, moved to Amsterdam and
  decided to take a year off.  As far as anybody at Alternative Tentacles
  is concerned, the band is NOT defunct.   Also keep in mind that the
  members of NoMeansNo are in their mid 30's and 40's.  Putting on
  such energetic shows can take its toll after a while.  This hiatus
  might just be for the best.

going to call it quits after an endless series of poor sales
even on their A&M production.  "Curse of the Mekons", their

So, have they produced anything since?  Will the show in

	Well, in my opinion, it wouldn't be that hard of a conclusion to
draw...considering that they WERE on Megaforce/Atlantic Records...a
minor/major label NOTORIOUS for signing Metal and Hardcore bands...of
course, being a huge King's X fan myself, I do  have to agree with you that
it seems like a lot of people do key into them initially for their sound. 
It's only after listening to them a few times, does one realize the
uniqueness in their songs and arrangements that sets them apart from your
typical "pizza" metal...As for the station manager's opinion, the guy must
listen to hundreds of bands a week, and the PR and A&R people I've dealt
with seem very comfortable with marketing King's X as a metal band...in
fact, if you think about it, I've only seen their videos being played on
"Headbanger's Ball", of all places, and only heard their albums on college
radio stations!  Also, think of the clubs they frequent.  I've seen them in
more than seven different cities, and each time, it's a small venue known
for its metal acts.  I also remember them opening for some stadium tour for
Metallica in CA...remember "Monsters of Rock"?  Anyway, "guitar sound"
isn't the only qualifying aspect of metal.  It's always fun to listen to
Diamondhead's guitar sound, because it really isn't that distorted, even
when compared to Ministry (whom isn't regarded as metal by most
standards...).  Well, just my $0.02 worth...

Yes. Myself and Bullwinkle J. Moose (ksantosu@descartes.waterloo.edu -
though it appears he hasn't logged on since summer when we followed
the Wedding present on part of the Eastern leg of their U.S. tour. You

There are a few places we weren't sure and I haven't written to the

send us *his* version of the lyrics.

I haven't put them on the lyric board since I was unsure of the ftp
procedure, and besides, this is the first I;ve thought about it for
some time.

1. I will e-mail them (in their 97% correct form) to you.

I was curious: what's the going price on them these days? I very

course, that singles 1-6 are compiled on "Hit Parade 1", and that "Hit

There is a live version of Victory available on a tape I picked up in
Berkeley of NoMeansNo playing live in Poland.  The tape doesn't do
NoMeansNo justice like live and cuddly does, but it is an excellent
live album nonetheless.  I suggest picking it up if you see it in your

Here's my version of "Shallow Then Halo":

Wing water
Feathered river
Dirty rich soil
Strong and fertile

(Er) Then shallow she
Earth as we know it
And then halo she
Scarred for the sacred

Stars at my eyes
Stars at my feet
Woman in waiting

	At the risk of starting a major war about something trivial, I think
these lyrics also "sound right" when you listen.  In particular, I would have
thought that "halo" in the second verse fitted the title a bit more.  As for
the first verse, it's just prettier.  I have the CD of Garlands (my second

that section is undoubtedly wrong.
