No idea.

>1927

A band from Australia.  Formed by Gary Frost (Moving Pictures????) in the late
80's.  Their first album was called "...ish".  Was very good.  Lead vocalist
was hired after he appeared on a "Gong Show"-style variety show.  Think they
only have one album, and also think that Frost has left the band.
(They got their name by each member of the band thinking of a number).

  The reference by Bono was to the GnR concert/riot in Montreal last month.
I am sure that there are more people that have seen a complete GnR show than
those who have seen a show cut short, but, Axl's tantrums are no urban legend.
Just ask the staff at the Olympic stadium.

I sure do. I bought it myself in England. 

What it is is a bootleg of the Hassles' Second Album, "Hour of The Wolf"
It is remarkably good quality for a bootleg. Now that the Hassles' first
album is now available here in the States, the entire Hassles discography
is available on CD. I'm so happy :-)

It sounds nothing like Atilla. Atilla sounds like what would happen
if Billy was a member of Black Sabbath back in the early seventies...

i too felt this way for a few months, after it was announced that U2 were
not going to come to Buffalo, where they played one of their first US gigs
(a small club called "Uncle Sam's", right after the release of "Boy" and 
they still had the U2 hyphenated)  but the more I analyzed it, and the more i
listened to the various interviews (Rockline on the radio, AND the MTV 
Rockumentary) i realized that:

1) this is all just a phase, and

2) Bono is not at all serious about this "image", at first i thought the
   fame had gone to his head, but after a friend saw them in Toronto
   (i at the time was broke) and told me that he didn't have the Zoo
   Station Black Plastic Leather outfit on for the whole concert, AND
   that they played for over 3 hours, i finally realized that this whole
   thing is just a joke, the only thing is: MTV, and all the Pop radio 
   stations and dance halls don't get it!!!  they've been playing "Achtung"
   without even realizing that they're getting snowed!!!

3) if fame would have gone to his head, he would have snubbed a local
   record promoter who helped push "Boy" and get it airplay.  the guy
   was at the show in Albany, NY, and Bono invited him backstage from
   ON THE STAGE!!!

another side note about "pop" radio stations:  one of them, KISS 98.5 in
buffalo, was going to co-sponsor the GNR/Metallica show here (this 
station plays absolute shit like Kris Kross and Taylor Dayne), but then
they were left out of the contract talks 

i don't know what that has to do with the topic, but i just felt like throwing
it in anyway.

bottom line is: don't worry about Bono and the boys, and that he has totally
changed, because he hasn't forgot all the people that got him where he is,
and, if they do seem commercialized, why shouldn't they cash in on their fame
and the helpless whims of leeches like MTV??  i think it was brilliant for 
MTV to have sponsored the first leg of the tour, because that was less $$$
out of U2's pockets.

All I know is that I haven't heard anything but their first album, Facelift.  
It blows big time!!! It doesn't sound anywhere near as cool as Would?
They do have an EP called Sap that is actually supposed to be pretty cool
but I haven't heard it yet.

The Life of Riley is off the CD "Sense" which came out earlier this
year. Yes, it is typical of the rest of the work which is great pop
and unbearably hummable. If you like finely crafted pop, this is one
of the best examples. The title song is great as well, but there isn't a loser
on the CD.

Agreed, Life of Riley is representative (though LOR and "Sense" are the
two best songs on the album). Fans of this style of unabashed pop are
advised to check out the new self-titled album by Rumblefish
(East/West-Atlantic Records, 1992)...Similar
style and a bit more consistently good, I think...

(Also of note, with regard to the Lightning Seeds is that there are two
CD EP's for the song "Sense", one commercially available, one not. Both
contain material not on the album. The promo-only version contains a
significantly different mix of "Life of Riley," as well as 3 non-LP songs.
As I recall, the commercial EP contains two non-LP songs plus the
LP version of LOR).

     I liked ATD a lot more than his other solos.  I dont think that he is
rehashing the same materials.  In ATD he is commenting on the impersonsal
and non-emotional way people act towards war, and the contradictions they

make concerning religion (ie. if these people are religious, then why the hell
are they acting like they do... ?)  This is VERY different than his other
works.   I also tried to figure out the backwards msg but had trouble doing

so....  I liked the instrumentation, although it took me a while to get used

to his voice...  Ah well.  And most of all I liked the electronics in the

background of three wishes and Its a miracle.   Just my opinion. =)


          And yes I agree Gilmour carried the musical influence of Floyd,

but I will always remain a Roger Fan anyway....  (Gilmours c00l too).

  Blues Traveler and the Spin Doctors and Phish are some new bands out of
NYC who used to play the local scene there a lot.  They have been influenced
a lot by the Dead but I can stress here that their music does not sound much
like the Dead at all.  The debut album from Blues Traveler I think is called
"Eponymous" and the debut album of the Spin Doctors is called "Pocket Full
of Kryptonite".  Their music is pretty similar.  I haven't heard any music
from Phish yet.

  I would check both albums out- more info on these bands could probably be
found in the rec.music.gdead.  These bands are heavily bootlegged since they
are not against people taping their shows.  They go on long jam sessions
when they play live, which may be where the critics made the GDead association.

  John Popper who is the lead singer for Blues Traveler plays a mean 
harmonica and the music is, well, more blues-oriented than the Spin Doctors.
The SDs play more of a funk/rock type of groove.

   Either way go ahead and listen for yourself; I'm sure you can pick up
a good-quailty bootleg show of either band if you dig around a bit on the
net.
