You had something to say about My Electric guitar....
So?? I think that band is the best I've heard in a long time!
You just gotta give them a chance, the first them I heard them,
I too thought they sucked, really. But, as I've said before, the bands
you don't like at first, often turn out to be your favorite bands.
I mean, first time you misten to Manson, you think it's a real mess, right?
But now I think it's real art!

assistant: Hello Martin!
I agree with you. The albums you mention here is among Hendrix's best. I've
recently bought all the remastered cd's on the _Experience Hendrix_ label.
There's another album called _South Saturn Delta_ which also is worth
listening to. I also read in the newspaper the other day that a new album
(double I think), is comming soon. The cd contains 13 tracks never been
realised before and another 7 tracks of familiar Hendrix stuff, but in
differnt versions since it's all live recordings. What I don't know is if the
album is on the same record label and have the same sound quality as the
_Experience Hendrix_ cd's...?
Regards.

Write your reply.

assistant: I had some quiet hours last weekend, and I used them to go trough and listen
to some of my old lp's. I have about 5-600 lp's, and it's not so often that I
bother to listen to them anymore. (Sorry to say, but the cd is making thing
much
easier, escpecially if you're lazy) ;). Well, I came across several albums
with a band called COLLOSEUM. A band I used to play very much back in the old
days. I used the evening listening to a double album from 1971 called
_COLLOSEUM LIVE_
I was happy to find tha the album was in perfect shape, and *WOW* !..this is
great music!!! I had totally forgot about the band, but after listening to
the album, I also found an old live recording of with the band. The concert
lasts for about 3 hours, and includes most of the tunes for Colloseum LIVE.
Those are _Skelington_ - _Tanglewood 63_ - Ropeladder to the moon_ - _Lost
Angeles_ and _Encore...Stormy monday blues_
I wonder...does anybody else out there share my opinion about COLLOSEUM? ;)

There's a death metal scene in Chicago? Cool! Would you consider Marilyn
Manson to be metal? Who writes all the music? Did Zim Zum write any of the
music on the new album?
Oh yeah, that would sound VERY cool :) Are LSD still around?
