[ryank]

holy crap! celtic frost. i had the album of that trio, with black circles under their eyes; wish i still had that record. it sounded great back then. we covered "dethroned emperor". Is hawkwind a classic group? i have a tape that's a homemade copy, and there's a band on there = "hawkind". he may have spelled it wrong. the tape is roots of metal, and the song is "silver machine". luv it. sounds a little like kiss to me. one of these days, i'm gonna get some king crimson. I hear alot about 'em, but don't think i've heard them?, and can't hear shit from this webtv.

[OU812]

U.K. DREAM THEATER GREAT BANDS STUDIOVOD I HAVE ALL THE CDS FROM BOTH BANDS.

[Studiovod]

Ryank...I could go into the whole History of Hawkwind.
Its a long one.
I have collected more Hawkwind on CD, Vinyl and Videotape than anything else.
That is a good song you mentioned...but they have a million more good ones too! Check out the Album 'Quark, Strangeness and Charm' sometime. Excellent stuff!

If my Main Computer hadnt met with the Angel of Death...i could burn a Copy of that & send it to you! BUT...it will be a while before i can build another System an do that.

Celtic Frost are still active.
I talk to Michael sometimes through Email or the Voivod Forum.

U.K. are GREAT! Love that stuff!
I really dig Terry Bozzio on Drums and all the Music of Eddie Jobson. Do you have the EJ & Zinc 'Green' Album, Mr. Van Halen?
I really miss that Album.

[OU812]

remember TNT .

[ryank]

what about "riot", not "quiet riot", but i had these two tapes - "narita" and "fire down under". great rock n roll. kinda like the cult. After these albums, it was sort of hit and miss. I like the simplicity and the singer on the narita album, but it's very rare, and i can't find it. Somebody swiped my narita tape.

Hey Less...thanks for coming to my defense! Us Long Islanders have to stick together:D

[Sue]

Mark - I like your list, very cool! I understand what you are saying about Billy - I have to be in a certain frame of mind when I listen to him. Are they having a Dream Theater/Satriani/Kings X show at PNC? Ours is scheduled for September 14th @ Jones Beach. Hopefully I'll get tickets for my birthday...I'd love to see that show.

[OU812]

Hey Less...thanks for coming to my defense! Us Long Islanders have to stick together

SUE I took another look at your list and after further reveiw you get an A . O by the way what ever you did worked you look nice today.

[Sue]

OU812,

Why the change of heart on my grade? Did it have anything to do with me throwing Stryper in your face? If you think about it...going from a B+ to an A is a big jump!

P.S. Are you trying to butter me up?

[mark]

Yep. I'm going to see that Dream Theatre/Satriani/Kings X show Sept 13th at PNC. Got some really good seats.
And left a few off my list like:

Queen
Collective Soul
Boston
Robyn Trower
Tull
CCR
Blood Sweat n Tears
Marillion
Spocks Beard
Thin Lizzy
Jon Butcher Axis
Roy Buchanan

Like I said, Put a little more thought into it and the list can keep going.

[OU812]

Well sue you might be my butter cup on this site .

[captain2man]

OK.....I'm not going to contribute to this thread......but way early on in the thread, there was some Celtic Frost going on.

I just had to chime in because - at this very moment - I happen to be wearing a Celtic Frost shirt.

Hey....does anyone have that rare recording of Celtic Frost covering "Making You the Fool".......or Zebra's cover of "Circle of the Tyrants".

It's nice to see 2 completely different styled bands have such respect for each other.

(this has been a joke......only a joke......if this had not been a joke, the planet would have imploded)

[Sue]

Thanks, I think!?!? Like I have much competition?

[LessPaull]

Have you ever seen the original STRYPER lp with the Devil ??? (it was taken off the shelves after its release) Pretty Cool !!! I believe the same time G N R's Appetite was banned also !!
Oh Yea !!! As a collector ...I own em !! "Rock n Roll The Way It Ought a Be !!"

sue have to agree with most of yours good list all except the zepplin, metallica i'm yet to see dream theater

[OU812]

I was a big time STRYPER fan for a long time . THEY HAD SOME GOOD SONGS.

[Sue]

Well Charlie, you seem to have good taste! But seriously, to each his own. I actually thought of more groups for my list afterwards(like Mark said). For those of you who like Zebra and/or Rush and haven't listened to Dream Theater- give them a try, I think you will like them. They are a band influenced by Zebra and even give them credit in their liner notes. Anyone interested in hearing them, let me know and I can burn some CD's for you.
Less- To be honest, I'm not really familiar with Stryper. I remember in high school that they kinda took a religious stance on their music and that they wore black and yellow. I'll dig out my "Monsters of Rock" tape, and give them a listen. After Ou812's comment about Billy Joel, I just had to find a band from his list to retaliate with.
OU812- I didn't grade your list because there are a handful of bands on there I never even heard of!

[yleekiyote]

I've got a confession to make....I own "In God We Trust". Yes, I know it was Strypers 2 or 3rd album, but the christian thing was happening. I actually like Billy Joel. Seen him with Elton. The King and Queen of pop tour. He definately puts on one hell of a show. Own a few albums, (running for cover). Lets see, my catalog contains: Kingdom Come, Giant, Cinderella, Bonham, Jude Cole, Extreme, Duran Duran, Bryan Adams, Cher, Celion, Kiss, Zep, ZEBRA, Rush, Dream Theatre, Marillion, Genesis, Collins, Gabriel, Mike & Mechanics, Yaz, Triumph, Survivor, Toto, Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, David Lee Roth, Yes, Whitesnake, Page, Plant, Boston, Aerosmith, Ac/Dc, Adam Ant, Def Leppard, Eagles, Foreigner, GTR, Inxs, Journey, Kansas, Men At Work, The Outfield,

Thats a short list. Around 400 cd's last time I check. Some have been destroyed, (accident and on purpose).

[LessPaull]

ALICE COOPER
MOUNTAIN
DEEP PURPLE
RUSH
AC/DC
JANES ADDICTION
CHILI PEPPERS

But i wont go into it all right now.

I more like SATANIC Black Metal and Death Metal.

Slayer
Venom
Vader
Death
Decide
Coroner
Cannibal Corpse
Christian Death

You know....Crap like that.
:p

I saw someone mention CELTIC FROST.
Great Band!
Mr. Warrior sometimes posts over at the Voivodfan Website.

All-in-all...You folks around here like some pretty great Music!
(Except for the Billy Joel bit. :p )

CHEERS!

[mark]

Grading isn't really necessary anyway. Everyone has a different taste in music and I respect that. As a matter of fact my favorite Billy Joel tune is: 'She's Always A Woman'. 'The Stranger' as my second. Poppish songs like 'Allentown' and We Diden't Start The Fire' & 'Uptown Girl' I can do without!

city boy

[yleekiyote]

You are correct sir......He has taken up the new hobbie of feeding fish.:D

[OU812]

I HEARD THAT THE BAND PUSHED HIM OVER AND TURNED HIM LOOSE . HE HAD TO HAVE IT HIS WAY.

[mark]

HOLE! That girlfriend of Kurt Cobain. Courtnetney Love. I'm sure she can dig a pretty deep hole. Just like my dog Puggs does in the back yard.

[Sue]

I really used to like Loverboy back in high school - mike reno was hot! If I remember correctly, Zebra opened up for Loverboy at Nassau Collesium back in the early 80's...I was too young to go :(

[LessPaull]

I Was There !! And MOST DEFINATELY...ZEBRA KICKED THE SHIT OUT OF LOVERBOY !!! I left 1/2 hour into Loverboy..I'd say at least 1/3 of the coliseum left after ZEBRA !! & ZEBRA knows it !!

[mark]

Loverboy is ok. But I diden't mention them in my favorites. I only like them enough to get their 'Best Of' CD.

[OU812]

L.B had 3 good radio songs and thats it.

[chinarain62]

Oh yeah - I forgot about some others:

Def Lep
Scorpions
Twisted Sister
Ozzy
TNT
Hardline
Danger, Danger (Let's Get Naughty)

[ryank]

Just have to add that i saw the bangles on good morning america. They look and sound great. excellent vocals. I'm glad they're back together. Anything old school, i'm happy to see.

[OU812]

I wonder if the bangles ever jumped into a mosh pit before ..................LOL

[OU812]

YEA BABY YEA!

[EVHFV]

I'll have to come back here when I have more time and give a list of my favorite bands. Too many to put on here right now. But it's cool to see people into some of the lesser known bands that I like...like TNT, Giant, and Lillian Axe. Another one of them would be Zebra....but you all know about them already. :-) Another good one is Vandenberg (before Adrian joined Whitesnake). Great stuff!!!!

Phil

[OU812]

TONY HARNEL IS ONE OF THE BEST POWER SINGERS I HAVE EVER HEARD. THIS GUY IS SO GOOD HE CAN MAKE STEVE PERRY LOOK LIKE A BEGINNER.

[banterman]

Led Zeppelin
The Who
Yes
Rush
Meat Puppets
Screaming Trees
Trip Shakespeare
Beatles
Ramones
Grateful Dead
Jane's Addiction
Smashing Pumpkins
Zebra
The Kinks

...just for a sampling

I've got a "best albums of the 90s list" on my band's website if anyone is interested at http://banter.ws. go to "band member profiles" and click the guy w/the long blonde hair!

[banterman]

Yes, China Rain, I will have to slam you for Loverboy, but it seems par for the course. I'm sure Sue will slam me in return, anyway!

Holey Mother, nice list!

[ryank]

the meat puppets, what a coincidence. I happen to have a wav file of me playing some of the outro solo to "backwater" > try this > http://www.angelfire.com/indie/damiankidder/backwater.wav ; Those guys made like 9 cd's before anyone noticed. True musicians if you ask me.

[OU812]

ON THAT SONG I JUST HEARD THE SINGER NEEDS TO GO.

[banterman]

well for anyone who likes the Meat Puppets, get psyched for Eyes Adrift, the new band feat. Curt from the Puppets on guitar, Kris from Nirvana on bass and Bud from Sublime on drums. They don't have an album yet but have been touring around playing their new stuff, and they are great. Great tunes, great performers. They played an amazing jam to finish off the show I saw. Most of the tunes are like Meat Puppets b/c naturally Kurt is the main writer, although Noveselic sings some oddball country tunes w/some good melodies. Their album will smoke.

it's wierd, though, that Nirvana had Kurt and Kris on guitar and bass, the Meat Pups had Curt and Cris on guitar and bass, and now Curt and Kris are guitar and bass in this band!

[OU812]

I ALWAYS WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO KRIS.
