BLIND GUARDIAN FOR ALL!!!!
IMAGINATIONS FORM THE OTHER SIDE [BLIND GUARDIAN]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where are these silent faces
I took them all
they all went away
now you're alone
to turn out every light so deep in me
hold on, to late
Will I ever see them back again
or did they all die by my hand
or where they killed
by the old evil ghost
who had taken
the ocean
of all my dreams
which were worth to keep
deep inside my heart
I wish I
could get them back
from the everflow
before they'll fade away
Ref.:
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side
Where's the ocean's daughter
was Peter Pan in Mordor
no one's there to keep alive
all these fairy tales
may I return to Oz
will I meet the "Tin Man"
"Coward Lion" where are you
without brain the scarecrow's lost
in the middle of the lake
stranded in the real world
left in a world
no place for daydreams
serious life
I fall into
I fall into a dark hole
and I can't come out
do you know if Merlin did exist
or Frodo wore the ring
did Corum kill the gods
or where's the wonderland
which young Alice had seen
or was it just a dream
I knew the answers
now they're lost for me
Ref.
(Solo)
I hope there is a way back
with my talisman
so I look into myself
to the days when I was just a child
come follow me to wonderland
and see the tale that never ends
don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
there is another world
Ref.
BYE FOR NOW. JUST FOR NOW.

Write your reply.

assistant: Why don't you like Earache? They used to have the excellent extreme bands on
the label but not anymore... Anyways, Wolverine Blues was originally released
by Columbia via a licensing agreement with Earache (Columbia wanted to "cash
in" on the death metal movement! hahahah what idiots!)
Again I veer off track. I just wanted to say that if you liked Wolverine
Blues, check out their latest, To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth.
It's more of a progression of Wolverine Blues, not even Swedish grind like
their first 2 albums. The album spawned yet another metal sub-genre: death
rock!
eh well just telling ya. They've mellowed out quite a bit over the years
(their drummer and main songwriter recently left the band to go with his
side-project full time, the Hellacopters. They're a ROCK band that opened for
Kiss during the Scandinavian leg of their tour and Paul Stanley was quoted
saying he loved them!)

 BTW, I noticed a neat 3-disc set in the new CCM catalog- Fleetwood Mac's
 first three albums (Fleetwood Mac/Mr. Wonderful/Pious Bird of Good Omen)
 on 3 CDs, with original artwork. Despite the fact that I have almost all
 that material, I find myself sorely tempted. Heck, the price, at $42, is
 even quite reasonable, considering it's an import.
 No problem, just telnet to bbs.neverending.com

Write your reply.

assistant: You won't regret it!
 You should be aware, though, that some of the tracks are a far cry from
 "Frankenstein". Some are quite mellow. "Round and Round", for instance
 (though it's a /real/ good song!). But others, such as "Free Ride", /are/
 very much in the same vein.
 As always, YMMV. But I've listened to the album twice in the last week
 (thanks!), and I stand by that statement.  To my ears, "Frankenstein"
 rates no higher than third place.  ;-)
 You're spoiled!
 Them too!
 _They Only Come Out At Night_ is as much a "keyboard album" as a "guitar
 album", though. Maybe more. But that Ronnie Montrose.. I'll tell ya, that
 boy can /shred/!

    Chuck dons his Moderator suit and reminds Denis of the MUSIC echo
rules, especially:
Rule 7:  A few words on profanity:
  1)  Please restrain yourself. Is the offending word necessary? Or
      are you just trying to tick someone off? The only time profanity
      is acceptable is in the form of a quote from lyrics in a
      pertinent context.
  2)  If you find such a word necessary, please use an asterisk (*)
      in place of a vowel. If the appearance of the word itself is
      offensive to the receiver, then you will be able to convey your
      message without actually having to rub anyone's nose in it.
  3)  Anyone who is swearing is assuming the risk that the moderator
      will find its continued use excessively annoying, and will take
      appropriate action.

assistant: In the middle of the song Roll The Bones, there's a rap-like section. I had
heard that it isn't Geddy Lee, but that it's the drummer, Neil Peart so
"raps".  I would suspect that the deep voice in Counterparts might also be
Neil Peart.
