Well, I've got every one (except for _Midnight Dynamite_), and I'd say my
favorite KIX album is _Cool Kids_.  Some awesome/interesting songs on that one!
My only complaint is that it's too short.  The other two (_Blow My Fuse_ and
_Hot Wire_) are also good.  Don't know enough about Dynamite to talk about it.

	I'm not excusing the rioters or directly blaming them, but I think
you're missing the point, Derek, because you're so blinded by your
love/idolizing/whatever it is you have for GNR.  Why is no one blaming
Metallica?  Because they responded to the accident maturely, promised to play a
full show at a future time, and because they APOLOGIZED to the fans, even for
something they had no direct control over.

	Axl Rose did none of the above.  I wasn't there so I can't say whether
or not his voice was gone or not, so I won't blame him for ending the show
early.  But he apparently handled the whole thing like the "GOD he is".  You
say that jokingly, but Axl certainly gives the impression that he's above
everyone else and that he can and will do whatever he wants.  I already think
he's an asshole--if he did hurt his voice, he handled it horribly; if he didn't
think the crowd was in to it and that's why he walked off, he's just proving
(once again) to the world how big of an asshole he is.  In any case I think the
riot would have been prevented had GNR acted reasonably.  I'm sure the picture
of Axl giving the crowd the finger didn't make to many rioters feel like they
had overreacted the next day.

Why shouldn't Axl sing that song One in a Million. You've got 10,000 rap
bands saying Kill the White Devils (as James Hetfield said in a recent
interview, yes the lead singer of Metallica, "rap is basically black
people saying how they should be given everything and all that shit")
about which no one but no one has balls enough to complain about.
Personally I like the song One in a Million for I know it gives every
bleeding heart here fits every time they think of the song. The song is
just Axl's opinion. Why can't he express it? or does everything have to
be one opinion only.

What a relief.  For a moment I thought that our newsfeeder had gotten
confused and substituted this group (alt.rock-n-roll.metal) with posts
from alt.bash.axl.rose.n.gnr.

Seriously, it may be time to create alt.rock-n-roll.metal.gnr.  All the
recent bandwidth certainly merits its creation.

GNR's "LIES" was basically acoustic, one side anyway.
They are the first band I can think of that released
and "acoustic" tape.  After that it really populor.

      actually I'd rather hear one of Madonna's roadies fart into
      a microphone that hear any GNR song live now-a-days.  I wish
      I couldn't say that but they are so disappointing now as
      compared to the first time I saw them in late 87 - early 88.

Look,

All I know is this discussion is getting out of hand.  Someone posted 
that people that were bystanders and that did nothing about riots are 
just as guilty.  Axl did not try to help stop the riots, which makes 
him guilty.  He was the only one that had any chance of stopping this 
before it went out of control.  It looks like he just provoked the 
audience.  Too bad he doesn't care about his fans, though.

There's at least 4 Pantera releases.  I have three of them.  The two most
recent are much better than the previous stuff which is sort of pop metal.
If you can find "Power Metal" in the cheap bin (I paid $6), it may be worth
it, but I wouldn't pay more 'cuz the music is just OK.

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal '79 Revisited
2 CDs (47:27 & 72:00) 30 Songs (other mediums have 24 songs)
Released 1990
*** (out of four)

This one was released a couple of years ago, but I just received it, and
I think it's worth a review.  It's a collection of NWOBHM songs, all from
the time period of `79-'81, put together by Lars Ulrich and Geoff Barton
(of KERRANG!) and contains some really interesting stuff in its two hours
of music.

Only two of the groups here went on to huge success:  Iron Maiden, whose
input to this collection is a previous unreleased version of Sanctuary from
the Friday Rock Show, and Def Leppard whose Getcha Rocks Off (a song about 
sex with groupies) demonstrates that they were capable of writing interesting
music (if not lyrics) before their descent into the lite-metal abyss.  Despite 
the lack of big name bands and lack of the sophistication that ten years of 
supposed improvements by more recent bands has produced, the music on these 
disks is (mostly) still quite good.

You can see the roots of current metal in many of these tracks.  For example,
Venom's Angel Dust prefigures Slayer and the entire death-metal subgenre.
In the crunching guitar lines on Diamondhead's Helpless, as well as other
tracks, you can hear where Metallica's style partially came from.  The largest
difference here with current music is the high-pitched, almost nasal singing
present on many tracks, which was for the most part (I'm happy to say) a
passing fad.

Lars includes two of the songs that Metallica has covered (Blitzkrieg and
Helpless), as well as songs by Sweet Savage and Diamondhead that they haven't
covered.  The Sweet Savage, Weapon, and Vardis songs are good fast-moving songs.
Witchfinder General does an excellent, haunting song named after their group, 
and Witchfynde (a completely different group) shows with Leaving Nadir that 
slowing down a song doesn't necessarily mean they must make pop trash.

As with any compilation feature 29 different groups some of the songs fall flat.
Samson, despite featuring Bruce Dickinson in his pre-Iron Maiden days, perform a
thoroughly boring song titled Vice Versa, and Sledgehammer by the band of the
same name is trite and annoying.  Despite these minor glitches, I would recom-
mend this set to anybody who does not already have most of the songs from other
sources.

them. So being a bit of a Kiss fan, I would'nt mind knowing what these videos
are about. Also how these songs are doing on respective charts around the

Another thing, I saw a poster of the band, and it looked as if Paul, and Eric
had goaty beards aswell as Gene, what is the story here? Of course Bruce was

Don't go comparing MetallicA and GNR because you can't, the only 
similarity between the two is that they both are touring together.
At least MetallicA cares about their fans, which you can't always say
for Axl. MetallicA told the crowd what had happened but GNR didn't 
give a shit about their fans.  Oh yeah, Axl lost his voice, and that's
why he ended the show buy saying _I'm fucking outta here_ and giving
Montreal a GNR salute, the finger.

Name some, I'ld like to see the list.  One thing is for sure there 
aren't many bands that are as wasted or stoned as GNR.  Case in point 
Slash on Rockline.  He only swore 8 times I think, the only word
they edited out was fuck.  And he slurred about 8 times.  Lars 
had to fill in because Saul had no idea of what the fuck he was talking
about.  Another incident was on the Grammys a couple years back.

The only thing I can say is that when I saw them(with Skid Row)
at Alpine Valley Wisconsin)they totally rocked.  Definately
the best concert I have ever seen.  They put on such a great
show and put so much energy into it.  At three hours a night
its not surprising that Axl's throat is so fucked.  However,
My point is that there are a LOT of disapointing bands
touring lately and FROM MY EXPERIANCE GNR has blown them
all away.
