I know that one of them was called "Three Lock Box."  There is also, of course,
the solo album he did after he joined VH.  Eddie played bass on it.  It was
originally self-titled "Sammy Hagar," but I think that the name has been 
changed to "I Never Said Goodbye."

     Don't be too sure about that.  Here in Lansing Michigan, the country
station here is pulling in 15-20 percent of the audience, and is adding to that
number even as we speak.  This has been going on for at least the last few
years, and before that there were two other country stations trying for the
same audience which our "super station" now gets by itself.  The Silver Dollar
Saloon (once famous for hosting Rock-n-Roll bands on the rise or on the wane)
is now a "country-rock" (read: country) bar; and I NEVER saw so many cars in
the nearby parking lots as I saw at that place when it reopened in its country
format.
     Let's not forget that Country music has been around as a specific genre
for at least seventy years, and has its roots in folk.  It was the
cross-pollination between country and black music which created Rock-n-Roll;
and country has always had a steady base of support all over the nation
(remember:  Wall-Mart didn't rise up out of nothing, sadly enough).
     I say just get the old classics (Carter Family, Hank Williams Sr, early
Johnny Cash) and ignore the rest of this now-sick genre of music.  Given ten
years, it will fall back to its rightful place as a sidenote to whatever real
music is coming out then (even as I now set it up as sidenote to Rap and
Alternative/College)

I think that you're getting the feeling that people are defecting from rock 
and roll to country; however, the numbers are small. Where country is truly 
making gains is against Top 40 and other directionless formats. Rock and 
roll listeners are loyal to their product; in fact, equally as loyal as 
country listeners.

I agree almost fully, this new def leppard album was very dissapointing.  It 
is just a rehashed hysteria, made for top-40, preteen dribble.  I am not
flaming those of you that like it, it is your choice, i dont care.  as to the
music however, I wish they did something different, I really liked pyromania,
and a few of the songs on hysteria, but back to the point, on this album it 
seems as if they said, "gee what will everyone like/buy?  how can we make this
palatable to more listeners?"  So anyway, in its genre (top40) it may be better
than average, but there are a tremendeous number of more interesting bands and
albums in which to invest your time and money.   just my opinions, hope no one
takes serious offense ;-)

How can anyone group Kip Wimper and the classic speed metal band

I could never stand those people who think that the only good music

there is a lot of trash these days, just take a look at Top 40.
But there is always heavy metal!  Many people confuse heavy
metal with poser music.  I go, "so do you like any metal?"  And
they're like, "yeah I like Motley Crue and Guns N Roses!!"  These
people think that if a band has long hair and play guitars they
are heavy metal.

That is why I am on the Poserkiller mission.  I do not want to
see heavy metal disintegrate into poser music.

It'll be a "semi-acoustic" performance. According to Ian Anderson, the
set will include "some old favorites, some songs we have never played
live before, and some brand new songs."

The band will consist of Ian, Martin Barre, Dave Pegg, and Mattacks.
No keyboard player will be with 'em, though Mattacks (and maybe Ian)
will play a bit of piano and keyboard when needed.

The above info comes from "A New Day" magazine.

Check out early solo albums by Rick Wakeman.  He's generally derided/
praised as the prototypical pompous, bombostic, over-done art-rocker.
*The Six Wives of Henry VIII*, *Journey to the Centre of the Earth*,
and *The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round
Table* are all EXCELLENT albums.  (Although some will say the
vocalists on the last two are grating; personally, I gripe more about
the banal lyrics.  Wakeman should have stuck with instrumental music
like *Six Wives*, easily his best.)

Also look for Mike Oldfield's stuff.  *Tubular Bells* and *Hergest
Ridge* were among the first album-long rock songs.  (But checking my
*Oldfield Boxed* and a few Jethro Tull albums, 'twould appear that
Tull's *Thick as a Brick* (_definitely _ get this one!) beat Oldfield
by over a year; Tull also put out another mega-concept-album, *A
Passion Play* which is very highly recommended.)

And don't forget Yes, Genesis (Gabriel era), Alan Parsons Project,
etc. etc. etc.  Have fun!

Excuse me, but isn't how good a musican is a matter of opinion?
I though so.

If you want to talk about how much musical training someone has had or who
taught them how to play, or what musical school they went to, that's a
different story.  George Lynch of Dokken can't read music, from what I hear.
(Am I wrong?)  But I think he's pretty good.

Are you saying we aren't allowed to discuss what we think about various guitar-
ists unless we know exactly what they are doing?
I believe there is a group for guitarists if you'd like to talk about that kind
of stuff.  Of course, you can post it here too, but see below...

Personally, I hate listening to music around a bunch of people who know how to
play various instruments, since they invariably start talking about chords
and progressions and such, and I don't really care.  I just like the way it
sounds.

>So, Suaron, stay in rnr.metal, OK?

Suaron can post where ever he wants.  Is there a law that sez your not
allowed to post to alt.rnr if your name is Suaron?
It would be nice if the post was relevant to the group, I guess, but if he
wants to be an asshole, you are just going to encourage him by replying.
