dave lombardo? 

ABSOLUTELY! 

one of the best speed/technical drummers around. he'll be back with the
band for their next album (about a year or so away), but i hear that
the old drummer from FORBIDDEN who's filling in on the MONSTERS OF ROCK
tour has held his own.

taking a listen to 'decade of agression' and having seen the band once,
i wonder how the hell he does what he does without machines or other
assistance. its absolutely amazing.

Fuck You. Nobody needs to know how to play drums to know what they like.

Hehheh. I knew someone would bite that bait. Yes, they are heavy on the Satanic
themes, but preaching? Well, maybe a moment or two on the second album, but
nothing at all on the first.

Hey, all you dedicated metal-heds! 

How many of you REALLY wanna see a JUDAS PRIEST compilation/greatest hits disc?

I've talked to A LOT of people here in Louisville, KY, and they all agree, 
since Rob Halford has pretty much gone AWOL, they may as well...

PLUS, wouldn't you just love to have ALL the best songs on ONE or TWO discs, 
instead of shuffling through 5-6 discs? ESPECIALLY if you're in the car!?!?!?

The reason I'm posting is 'coz my friends and I wanna get a letter-writing
campaign to (CBS?) and to the fan club, and SWAMP'm with letters asking for
either a greatest hits (not-so great idea, usually chopped songs or leaving out
a few good ones!) or a compilation (the BEST IDEA)...

If you think this is a cool idea, gimme a ring on my account...If there's a
good enough response, I'll even send out a form letter that y'all can simply
print and mail....cool?

IF BY SOME MIRACLE, SOMEONE KNOWS IF CBS (is THAT THEIR LABEL? I GOTTA GO HOME
AND LOOK!) HAS ONLINE ACCESS...THE MORE THE BETTER!

Thanks!


BTW, You guys are right, QUEENSRYCHE was the best...they've improved
horrendously,...Operation Mindcrime was GREAT, EMPIRE's BETTER....

Anyone like these guys? I guess you'd call them industrial. Anyway, I have
their VIVIsectVI album, and to say the least it's interesting music. Who
plays what in this band? They list Rave, N. Ogre, cevin Key, and D. Rudolph 
Goettel but not who plays what. There are some weird noises here and I'm
eager to discover what actually produced those (I could accept "synthesizer"
as an answer, but that seems much too credible and easy a response).

Are all their albums like this one or are they similar to Godflesh in their
varying sounds per album? (I found SLAVESTATE to be similar, but STREETCLEANER
to be more like my grind / death albums).

You are comparing apples and oranges here. But yeah Jason Becker is phenomenal!
Saw him live a few times, with Marty Friedman and Cacaphony, and the guitars
just drooled all over the place. It was almost TOO MUCH GUITAR, and that is
a very rare thing. 

It is just a shame that nobody seems to want to give Jason another chance at
the big time, since he had to back out of David Lee Roth's band because
he has Lou Gehrigs disease.

The Police should be among the best. Only a few have reached the apex they have
hit musically. Too bad they also succumbed to the negative parabola effect,
hitting the top with SYNCHRONICITY and then dropping to the pits with "Don't
Stand So Close To Me '86." Did Copeland use a drum machine on that? It sounds
horrible! Ruined a great song.

No one else has mentioned Marquis Marky from Coroner!!!! This guy is great!
I saw Coroner last year, and they were third on the bill, opening for Nuclear
Assault. Marky had to use Panic's drums (all three openers used Panic's drums),
and they had to stop playing after three songs because the drums couldn't take
his force and speed. All the screws and bolts and stuff just kept coming out,
and the stage crew took about half an hour to 45 minutes to fix the thing.
I need not mention that of the four bands Coroner, despite only playing three
songs, were the best act by far that night.

I'd say that I'd have recognized this new Maiden even if I hadn't know
it was Maiden.  But I miss the bass sound too, it has been on every
Maiden album before this and now it is gone. I hope it hasn't gone too
far and will be back on next Maiden album (I think it will, because
next Maiden will be a live album and the bass was audible at least on
Maiden's gig here in Finland and Donington=).
My theory is that Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P. stole Steve's bass
guitar and used it on the new WASP album. The WASP album sounds very
Iron Maiden'ish in many places....

Here's some of the Christian Metal bands that I think are noteworthy:

Deliverance
Believer
The Crucified
Vengeance Rising

Personally, I don't give a crap what a band sings about so I'm just basing
this on music alone.  That's why I can mention Venom, ALL, GWAR, and 
Deliverance in the same breath.  To ME, it's not WHAT you sing but HOW you
sing it.

The new SOD disc is terminally cool.  They play most of their
material off of "Speak English Or Die."  There are a few new songs,
most of them very short, and a couple of Ministry covers.  ("Stigmata"
and "Thieves").  Not bad.  Charlie Benante and Scott Ian trade jobs
for a while toward the end.  Neither one sounded bad on the other's 
instument(s).  If you like SOD, this is a must-have!

Uh, no.  "Ace of Spades" was written MANY years ago.  Go to yer local record

It'll be from the late 70's.

My father was over in Denmark recently and decided to do some geneological

I must admit, however, that I've never heard of anyone by the name of Bendix,

	1) Scott Travis (Judas Priest.  If I needed to tell you that,
you have no appreciation for drum gods).
	2) Nick Menza (Megadeth.  Though not their original drummer,
he's down-right amazing)
	3) Charlie Benante (Anthrax and SOD.  Another drum god whose
work speaks (pounds) for itself.
	4) Neil Peartt (Rush - I know this isn't realy metal, but he
is still one hell of a drummer.  Anyone who can teach Lars Ulrich a
thing or two about drumming damn well better make this list!)
	5) Lars Ulrich.  (I better not have to tell you his band!  As
much of a prick I think he is as a person, he is one great drummer.)

Am I the only one out there with diverse tastes, or are there others?

Listen, I go from liking Entombed/Sepultura to Megadeth/Metallica to stuff
like NIN and Primus all the way to REM/U2 (NOT the Cure!) and even
Bach/Brahms...so you name it..i like it.  I don't just dabble either, like
"oh, Ilike this song, I like that song"...everything I like, I am into and
not just like a song or two off of an album.  Here's to all of us, whether
our tastes be diverse or not...it's the music that counts, and how you enjoy
it...
