For what it's worth, Rick's choral arrangements in some of his later work
are excellent- namely because there are no lyrics but just "aaaaaah" notes.
I would recommend "Judas Iscariot" on the _Criminal_Record_ and "Awaken" on 
the YES album _Going_For_The_One_ as examples of this era.

I also am a FH fan.  I missed there show here in Buffalo in which they opened
for Tesla.   Anyway, the day after the show, I was talking with my friend
who saw the show in Rochester.  Well anyway, I guess CJ Snare announced that
their next album gets released next month.  I'm psyched.  I believe they 
should be able to pull off another hit album with more ballads and rock.
If someone doesn't beleive in their potential, just look at the facts.
They released their whole debut album except for about 3 songs, out of 11.
Firhouse rocks!
Oh also released info. I believe, is that Slaughter is also releasing their
second next month as well.

Subdivisions (spoken)
In the high-schools (sung)
in the shopping malls 
Subdivisions (spoken)
etc.
)

When I've seen them live (3 times now :)) and on ASOH (A Show of Hands)
Alex does it but in the studio version it sounds like several people 
do it (?) I think a similar thing is done in Neurotica on RTB.

Also, I know that all the members of Rush are intensely private people
now and guard their privacy jealously. Yet I feel that Neil's writing has
become much more personal in the last 5-10 years (especially on RTB). 
Any opinions and/or facts on this?

As we all know Pearl Jam was on SNL the other nite. I've never seen them
live but have the "TEN" lp, and I really like it! And I think they did an 
allright job (average compared with other SNL bands). Now his little
pro-choice bit is a little debatable. Its actually really minor compared
to the stupid things G'n'R have said on national t.v.
 I think that they probably should haven't done it. They came accross
as a young self-righteous band, and it detracted from the musical aspect of
their performance.
 BTW what the hell was the bassist doing? Was THAT "cool"?

 On the other hand I suppose it got them some attention as did
Fishbone's performance.

 I think the best performance(s) I've ever seen were by:
       Eric Clapton ('90)
       Paul Simon   ('70's)
       Blues Brothers ('70's)
       Living Colour  ('80's)

The worst was BY FAR by that rap band where all the one guy does
is wear obnoxious, stupid clothes, stand with his arms crossed, and
yells "BOYEEEEZZ!" every couple of minutes.

So you're saying that it's almost, but not quite as good as _Thriller_?

I agree.  ;-)

  [ more hype about its obvious commercial success deleted ]

Side note: I used to like Def Leppard a lot.  Hysteria killed them for me,

was just kind of ambivalent towards it, unlike their previous stuff, which
I thought was great.

	Glenn Hughes was the bassist/vocalist of Trapeze before he joined Deep  Purple in '74 along with David Coverdale and was in the band until it broke up in '76.  He revived Trapeze in '77 and was in Trapeze until '79.  He was also a  member of Hughes-Thrall in the early 80's and Black Sabbath's vocalist on  
Seventh Star. He has also guested on a number of records by other artists,
especially Gary Moore.  As a bassist he was ok, but he was great vocalist with  a real bluesy voice.  I don't know anything about his recent efforts, but would certainly be interested. His records with Purple,Trapeze or any  othere bands are certainly worth checking out, IMHO.
	Hope that helps.

Lets see:

Beat Happening's *Jamboree* and *Black Candy* albums (currently in limbo
because of Rough Trade going under) are supposedly being reissued on
SubPop.  They are currently on tour.

Love Battery have just come off the road, and are currently back in
Seattle.

Gas Huffer is touring with the Super Suckers (they'll be in Salt Lake
City on May 7).

Mudhoney has just signed to Warner Bros.  Apparently, they singlehandedly
saved SubPop from bankrupcy when they let SubPop release *Every Good 
Boy Deserves Fudge*.

Pearl Jam suck.

I haven't heard anything from/about the Walkabouts since the *Scavengers*
album came out.  What's the scoop?

Mark Lanegan's second solo album is supposed to be coming out on SubPop
"shortly".  I'd heard rumors of the Screaming Trees breaking up, but
apparently, only the drummer actually ended up leaving.  Confirmation?

L7's new album got a good review in SPIN.  It's out either this week
or next week.  I haven't heard anything from it, and the four-track
radio station preview has been getting so-so reviews on GRUNGE-L.

Hello fellow netlanders,

I just received my copy of "The Jamison Journal" in which it said
that Jimi Jamison was planning on releasing "When Love Comes Down" from
his CD on April 1st.  For the first time since he went solo, this song has
a video.  I'm wondering if anyone out there has seen it.  Most likely it
would air on VH-1.

Thanks.

This is not a dig on Chris at all, because I keep hearing this argument...
but, this line of thinking is SILLY!!!

Given that CDs last either 10 years or forever (depending on who you ask),
how often are you people throwing away your jewel boxes??  I mean, sure, every
now and then I step on one or drop it and break it, but this doesn't seem
like it should be a big problem to the world of recycling.

Hell, get rid of shrink wrap first.

Those stupid digipak things (that's those cardboard funky packages we've all been
seeing on some of the newer releases) can't possibly be durable.

The introduction of the digipak was purely a monetary decision with an
environmental smokescreen...

Yes, that must be it.  And now CC Devil is trying to be the Jimi

I received mail from a: ehasuike@ics.hawaii.edu concerning my Richie
Kotzen post.  Since my mailer system wouldn't send it, here it is
if he is reading:


    I think Kotzen figured he needed to make a quick dollar, I think it is
the Vai-syndrome: make an albumn with a big band, make a few million, leave,
and do a solo albumn.... I guess my only reassrance is that he has
his solo albumn with Interscope.....he did stress he wanted to stray away
from his guitar playing...genius gone to waste....
