Dehumanizer is the best Sabbath, IMHO. Or second best - Heaven And
Hell is just as good as Dehumanizer. If you like Dehumanizer, get at
least these Sabbaths:
-Heaven And Hell
-Mob Rules
-Paranoid

Well, if you don't like it, you ought to listen to it more :-)

Dehumanizer is the heaviest Sabbath album ever.

Yes, he played the part of Jesus Christ Superstar, and perhaps he 
is Born Again :)
But, Did you know that he showed up to record Perfect Strangers
NAKED and surprised the hell out of the rest of his old Deep Purple
mates?  Seems that during the time he was away from the band he found
that he preferred to record au naturel.
Good thing he kept his clothes on on stage!

Just got word from Rodney Dunsmore that his new band Killing Machine has
just released a 7 inch single.  It is in the NWOBHM vein, so the singer 
actually sings, there are two songs on the single:1. IN THE BLOOD  and
2. DEATH OR GLORY.  Side two is a cover of the HOLOCAUST classic.
     If you would like to order it or just want information write to:
                          Killing Machine

                                     78468

p.s. it is $6.00 including shipping and handling.
Rodney Dunsmore and Edward Vasquez,both formerly from DEVASTATION are in 
this band.  If  you  write, tell them how you heard of the single
and tell them Carlos from Houston told you....

The rumours are correct:  "Into Glory Ride" and "Hail to England" were
indeed released on one CD.  Around 80 minutes of music.  I managed
to get this CD in a record shop in Harvard Square.  I was quite lucky
to discover it; it was the only copy they had in stock!!!  It was a bit
pricey, I thought, around US$22.00, but imho, well worth it.

they are very likely the overall grimmest band (lyrically) around. if
you don't like death metal, don't even dream of buying it, you'll hate
it. if you like death metal, brutal lyrics and feel the need (if you've
a weak stomach) to carry a barf bag around, then its the album for you!
personally, i don't care much for it.

by the way, the name of the album is TOMB OF THE MUTILATED and i think
they have two other albums, titled EATEN BACK TO LIFE and BUTCHERED AT
BIRTH.

It's been a while since I have had time to watch MTV, and I just caught the

pedophile phanasy?  And his questions to Danzig were so stupid, I wanted
to puke.  That haircut...  

approx.:

R.R -- "...is one of my favorite songs.  It's real gloomy,  sorta has that
        depressing side to it.   What is the song about?"

G.D -- "Well, read the lyric sheet.  It's about loneliness, depression, ..."

R.R -- "Do you guys ever get tired of playing the same songs over and over
        again?"

J.C -- "Yeah, that's why we adjust the set night to night, and play what we
        feel like."

R.R -- "Do you guys ever play any Samhain or Misfits stuff?"

G.D -- "[Pissed off] Why do you keep asking that?  Those bands are over. This
        band is called Danzig, not Misfits."

This after R.R. claimed to be a big fan and said he saw "more than a dozen"
shows by Danzig.

I thought that Kirk said they were drawing cards to see who would get to

	Well, Last night on Pirate Radio, Dave Mustaine called from
	Finland and talked to that goober d-jay they have, and mentioned
	that he would be coming back in 18 days. I can't remember where
	he said he would be coming to first in the States, but he did
	say it was only 18 more days.

This is really funny because in my experiences of born-agains the very *idea*
of metal is sinful. They won't even consider the possibility. Even if it claims
to have a Xian message, the music is Satanic. I always figured Xian heavy metal
was for somewhat more moderate people, because I have had _Bible_ thumpers tell
me they don't even have to listen to the stuff to know it's evil.

Here's a .sig I found on alt.fan.pern I thought was worth sharing:

The Republicans are thinking of changing the Republican Party emblem from
an elephant to a condom, because it stands for inflation, halts production,
and gives a false sense of security while one is being screwed.
