My wife is married to a metal head. But she liked metal/hard rock before I
was around. She has always been a major Triumph fan (even before me). She
liked Judas Priest, Great White, etc. before I was around. She likes some
of the newer stuff I've showed her, even Metallica. However, she doesn't
care for Pantera, Mr Bungle, or Ministry. The guy taking a dump at the end
of "Slowly Growing Deaf" on Mr Bungle doesn't impress her one bit. :+)

I nominate "Let's Put The X in Sex" by KISS and many other songs they've
done on the last 6 or so albums. During that time, they are the most poseurish
of poseurs. Coming in a close second is that song "Keeping The Faith",
Jon Bon Blow Me and his band's latest.

Hey, I resemble that remark! Actually, it was the kerosene-soaked knickers

Don't you mean the funniest librarian you've NEVER seen?

Didn't Van Halen use a power drill at the beginning of the "Poundcake" video?
Hehe..stay tuned, one of the ALLMUSICers sent that Jackyl song as one of his
picks for the compilation tape. Maybe you'll all get to hear it.

Seeya,
