First off, you can still buy the "Garage Days Re-Re-vistied" EP through
Columbia House. The Garage Days Re-visited EP is Side 2 of the 
"Creeping Death" 12". Only a couple of pressings of "Kill Em All" 
\were done with "Am I Evil" and "Blitzkrieg" included, and then they
reverted back to the original songlist. The two tracks were combined
with the "Whiplash" EP, and are available on disc. 

hope this helps.

Yes, but both the US and the European version might be hard to find. For some

More than two. The one you are thinking of was a project of Cher and
her then-current boyfriend, Les <studio wizard> Dudek. "Dead Ringer"
was the title track from Meatloaf's 2nd album, so that explains his
appearance in the video.

I have an album by another band by that name from New York with a female
singer, but since I don't have it handy, I can't give much more information.

Why, my living room, of course!  There wasn't room for a pit at the Deicide

I'm pretty sure Vai has formed an actual band now, and last I heard it was
called Light Without Heat.  The new album from them is supposed to show up
around summer time.  That's all I know.  Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge, and Adrian
Vandenberg are trying to re-join, but I haven't heard any more than that.

There most certainly was an album. I did not buy it at the time 
and can't find it anymore so I don't know what was on it. But I 
remember that it was "Stars" and 9 to 10 songs from other bands 
who recorded something special for the album.

I think that Dio could've handled working with Ozzy. But as Dio does
... hmm... dislike Ozzy quite much, he didn't want to be WARMING UP
for Ozzy. If I were Dio and the situation would've been this, I
wouldn't have done this gig either. On the other hand, if both Dio and
Ozzy would've been on stage singing together those Sabbath classics,
it would've been different. Probably.

	If you want to listen to an INCREDIBLE drummer, listen to Alex
Marquez's work on Malevolent Creation's "Retribution."  I guarantee that
if you seriously enjoy truly _heavy metal_ drumming (i.e., not drumming
in Guns N' Roses or Pantera or Queensryche or the rest of the poser
bands) you will absolutely be amazed by Marquez's work.  And to see him
in concert (as I've been fortunate enough to see) is something else.

Leonid, he's got a point. Cronos wasn't always really good. I wouldn't say they
had no clue what to do with their instruments at all, but they weren't the
best of the bunch either. Compare to Dave Murray or Kevin Heybourne on guitar,
Stef Prockopczuk (Gaskin) and Chris Troy (Praying Mantis) on bass or Clive
Burr (then with Praying Mantis), Thunderstick and Dave Hogg on drums. The
vocals of that sort were probably the best of the lot, though, in my opinion,
when you compare to Motorhead or Tank, but that's probably because Lant 
doesn't smoke as much as Lemmy does.

Anyway, Venom has improved greatly since their first single as far as
musicianship. Unfortunately, their compositions are missing some of the
energy that they used to have. I like their new stuff, but something about
the old stuff seems to keep the albums in my CD changer a bit more often.
