assistant: It's interesting that "The Crimson Idol" has TWO drummers
credited..?
Unreal! Lucky you!
Ha! It's amazing what people come up with, eh?
That's what I've suspected. I don't think it'd look as good as
just "Wasp" anyway. When it's an "acronym" it is more, well,
imposing.
Yeah. It makes me wonder just how many stories about various
bands I've heard are actually true.

Write your reply.

assistant: I haven't got it, but have heard it. Personally, I don't think
it's worth getting if you've already got their other albums. The
difference isn't really big enough, and besides they couldn't fit
ALL their songs on there. :)
Is this anything like the Beatles "Live At The BBC"?
Almost definitely their best, but closely followed by "Paranoid".
I've got all their early stuff except "Black Sabbath" on CD, but
only "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is remastered. I don't know if any
of the others are available, remastered.
Ozzy will be playing here in February, so I doubt they'll be
touring then. :)
(Naturally, I'm going.)

assistant: I only had to read this far to make up my mind that I will soon
do my best to find and buy this album. "Frankenstein" alone is
worth the purchase price, but if it isn't even the best track..
Sheesh! How can I resist? :)
I've vowed never to buy another LP unless it's of something very
hard or impossible to get on CD. They're too much of a hassle.
I've never seen it, new or used, anywhere (to the best of my
knowledge). A lot of things that were huge in the U.S. haven't
been all that well known here (in this case, unfortunately).
Yeah! And what about "Black Dog"? Or "White Room"? :)
No worries. It was a fluke that I had copies of the interview
here (I don't own a single guitar or music magazine!).

RM> That's a good one! How do you like it?

Write your reply.

assistant: "Bad Horsie" has to be the fattest, thickest, awesomest tits-out
track I've ever heard - and in fact is the only track from the
album I'd heard before I bought it. Truly very cool. A couple of
the other tracks are pretty good too, but nothing overly
remarkable. "Ya Yo Gakk" is a great one for parties (see how
often the word "cute" is mentioned!). Overall I think it's a good
album, a better rounded effort from someone who tends to go
experimental a bit too often (there are no tracks I'd skip).
Probably... Three stars. Definitely worth grabbing for "Bad
Horsie" alone - that's a five star track easily. :)
