might as well send a copy back when someone requests one.



SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT

Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose
And to pretend
She's overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word

hello, hello, hello, how low?
hello, hello, hello, how low?
hello, hello, hello, how low?
hello, hello, hello

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?...

With the lights out it's less dangerous...

And I forget
Just why I taste
And yes I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
Its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

hello, hello, hello, how low?...

With the lights out it's less dangerous...

Yep...That new Led Zeppelin single is killer original rock, isn't it?

As for Def Leppard sounding original, listen to the new album. I haven't heard 
a more blatant rip-off of Hysteria. The sad this is they had to rip themselves
off for their "original" sound.

Rush is not underrated, nor are they overrated. Everywhere you go, you see 
them being praised to the hilt as being great musicians. If you want to talk 
underrated, try Marillion. Not many people know them for being great musicians,
they only know them as "one of those bands in the M section."

First of all I have a question to all of you that fondly refer to Gun's 'N
Roses as Gun's 'N Posers... Tell me exactly what they are posing as... Axl
never made a public announcement... "We are a metal group... that is all we
are..." At least I never heard it... so just tell me in as much detail as you
possibly can with your feeble minds... What are they posing as...

Okay next... to all of you GnR fans out there like myself... Would you guys
please start posting... I am sick of hearing people like Suaron flaming
everyone who expresses a positive opinion about GnR... I can't belive you would
let a weenie like that walk all over you and scare you from posting... He
hasn't stopped me, and I like to think of myself as one of the starters of the
GnR wars on these newsgroups... All you GnR fans are getting your asses rubbed
into the dirt on 3 boards... Now that has to stop... This is a plea, nothing
more... I know there are fans out there who feel as strongly as I do... So
express it... Do something about it... Don't let people who were grown out of
Tipper Gores ass censor you...

Third I am sure I will catch a lot of flame from this post... I expect it and
welcome it... If I get the flame I know I have gotten to you... Suaron can't
resist flaming me... I have heard enough of his crap to last a lifetime... But
I am not planning on buckling under the flaming... As long as these newsgroups
are here I will post as much Gun's 'N Roses as I feel like... Suaron is not my
censor board nor should he be yours... If you let him, he has won... But I
would hope that GnR fans have more of a spine than that...

I am off the stage now... I am leaving it up to the fans to help me out here...

If you are curious about the other places this war is going on... Check out
alt.rock-n-roll.metal where by the way Suaron was elected president...*laugh*

	This describes my experience w/ TMBG exactly, except for Apollo,

I'm a singles person myself, and many of my favorite acts never had even
ONE great album (Sam Cooke, for instance), but here's my choice for
the greatest 3 consecutive albums:

     1. Bringing It All Back Home (that is the right title, isn't it? MY BRAIN
         HAS JUST GONE BLANK! I was thinking of Cooke's song "Bring it back
         home" and now I'm not sure about the title to one of my favorite
         albums!!!! I think that's right though.)
     2. Highway 61 Revisisted
     3. Blonde on Blonde
All by Dylan, of course.

I can't think of three other consecutive albums by any one else that are
truly great. Some people my think the sequence of Rubber Soul, Revolver, 
and Sgt.Pepper's is good, but Sgt.Pepper
has always bored me to death.

Why isn't there more discussion of singles on this list, as after all, it
wasn't until the late 60's that the album gained any degree of importance.
How about people's choices of the greatest B-sides of all time?

   Off the top of my head I think I might pick:
        "I'd Rather Go Blind" by Etta James (A-side: "Tell Me")
        "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the Tokens (A-side: Never can remember,
          but something completely inconsequential!)
        "Slippin' and Slidin'" by Little Richard (A-side: "Long Tall Sally")
        "That's Where it's At" by Sam Cooke (another A-side I can't recall)

   After all, I've never known anyone that goes around humming an album!

I picked up the single for 'Smells Like Nirvana' today...it is absolutely
hilarious!  He has, once again, very well reproduced the normal sound of the
group that he has parodied, and it comes out excellently...supposedly the album
is coming either this week or next, so be on the lookout.

Gosh, for someone who claims to really HATE this band, you know an
*awful* lot about them.  Most of us try to just ignore that which we
find distasteful.  (Although I don't always succeed in restraining, as
you'll find out in a paragraph or so if you don't get your asbestos
underwear on quick.)

>Why don't you Poison posers listen to real music like Motorhead,
>Suicidal Tendencies, and Judas Priest?

Why don't you just SHUT UP?  I've managed to ignore a couple of your
inane posts now, but it's gotten to the point where you've wasted enough
bandwidth with your juvenile blatherings that I simply _must_ reciprocate.

Actually, this applies to a lot of the crap I've seen on alt.r-n-r of
late.  FOLKS -- if you don't like something, just don't SAY anything!
I couldn't care less about the new albums by Def Leppard or Black
Crowes, Poison make me rather ill, and the rest of the corporate rock
crowd I find about as exciting as watching grass grow.  BUT I KEEP MY
BLOODY TRAP SHUT!  (Usually -- sometimes I have to break down like
this, sorry.)

Am I totally weird here in thinking that maybe the S/N ratio would be
vastly improved if people would just talk about something in which
they have an interest (other, of course than "Band X sucks!!!!")?

of course, a blatant idiot like yourself wouldn't even be able to spell
the name of the group right. it's megadeth. that's deth, not death.

if you think they're so bad, it's obvious you have no clue what either
heavy or speed metal is about.'go to hell' (from bill and ted's) is an
average song, and 'no more mr. nice guy' bite to start with.

what else do you know about the band? do you have or know any of their
albums? do you have their latest album, RUST IN PEACE, seen by many as
one of the better metal albums of the last few years? do you have any
clue about marty friedman, their lead guitar player? listen to his
solos on RUST. they kick over just about anyone and anything metal has
to offer. to even classify megadeth, queensryche and slaughter in the
same paragraph shows quite clearly that you have no concept what you're
talking about. not in the least. i wonder what you consider a good
metal band to be...
