I bought something yesterday and realized I don't want it.  I purchased the
program from the concert at the Berlin Wall fromm 7/90.  Also included was a
piece of the wall that they were giving out at the concert and a book of sheet
music from The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking.  I paid $35.00 for the whole
thing.  i would be willing to go lower but I would much rather get what I paid
for.  It was in the import section.  I also would be willing to sell the
program and the piece of the wall, and the sheet music separately.  I'd rather
no but I will entertain offers.

On a side note knowing that Relics is no longer being made in the states I
checked and found out that this is true of the world over.  Can anyone tell me
why?  Is there a copyright problem?

Could that be Back in the USA?  It's a Chuck Berry song that Linda Ronstadt 
covered.

Well, after a first listening, it's not a favourite, but I kinda like it. The  
music is pretty good, with a good variety of styles but still enough of the old  
Waters/Floyd sound. And it's not another of those sub-50 minute CDs that I hate  
paying for.

I'm sure sick of Waters' anti-war rhetoric, though. I wish he'd find something  
else to sing about. KAOS, although it had an overall anti-war message, at least  
had some other stuff on it.

Jim Steinman has also worked on MeatLoaf's Dead Ringer album. His own band
"Pandora's Box" made one album ("Original Sin" - worth listening) and should
have a new one out really soon. He has also written some songs for Bonnie Tylor.

I heard the preview show on radio last week (Thursday evening, I
think) and one of the songs they played was obviously "Run Like Hell"
played a bit slow and perhaps in a different time signature (at
least the intro part for "RLH").

Sorry, don't have the CD, don't remember which song.

I don't know ho most of you feel about glam-metal, but I just got the
new Warrant last night (Dog Eat Dog).  I only got to listen to the
first couple of songs, including the new single "Machine Gun", and I
must say, this is not your average glam metal.  There's a fifty, heavy
bass line under the songs I heard, and some fair-to-partly cloudy
solos.  The liner says that Jani Lane (the lead vocals & accoustic
guitar) wrote all the songs, as with the previous two eforts, but this
stuff sounds much more worthy of this news group (even tho' I like the
old stuff too).  Has anyone else heard it?  Thoughts?

I've been a Warrant fan since "Down Boys", so I bought this album the

writing more serious songs now compared to the last two albums, but I
definetly do like April 2031.

Organization: University of Notre Dame


    I read the recent postings about the Babys and one implied that Bad 
English broke up, apparantly with some bad blood between the 
members.  I've been a John Waite fan for quite some time-- saw the Babys 
with Styx in 1979 in Lakeland, Florida (first date with my now wife) and 
have followed his career since then.  In fact, we saw the Baby's twice, JW 
solo four times, and Bad English once.  I loved the first Bad 
English record; IMHO, it was quite underrated.  Unfortunately, the second 
one (Backlash), sucked.  It was the worse thing John Waite has 
ever put out.  As far as I know, they never even released any videos from 
it, and John Waite has always released lots of videos.  

     I never heard any details of the Bad English breakup.  Can 
anyone fill me in?  

                                                  Thanks.

I'm not sure, specifically, which one Clay is referring to, but I can guess
a couple of obvious choices:

	lox ears -- Axl's childhood nickname from Brooklyn
	sax role -- Remembering Axl's earlier work with David Clayton-Thomas
	so relax -- A comment on Axl's recent psychotherapeutic breakthroughs
	sore lax -- Indicating Axl's anger at being ticketed in Los Angeles

Was it one of those, Clay?

Thanks to David for an admirable job of posting the lyrics.  Now, even
assuming for the sake of argument that the double negative "didn't
didn't" may be glossed over as poetic license, would anyone like to
take a guess at what the above lines actually mean?

Extra credit for experts: interpret and justify Steve Miller's
famous(?) line:

"Some people call me Maurice
'Cos I speak of the pompetus of love"

Just wondering,
