[ZEBRAFREAK]

MY GUITARIST HAS A 45RPM "BEARS" RECORD!!!

[OU812]

NO way .............Yes way ted

[yleekiyote]

In my hayday, of a pizza cook, many moons ago, I found several 45's of Zebra. I told the guy I would buy them from them, and pleaded with the owners of the jukebox to put them in. Needless to say, the jukebox company is gone, and I lost out on some collectables. It had "Who's Behind The Door", "Bears", "Tell Me What You Want", and I can't recall the 4th song. Have to ask Randy what songs they put out on 45's. I know it was at least 2 45's.

[GreggCo]

hard to narrow down to one but,
acoustic - Time
Electric - La La Song
Cover - The Rover

[OU812]

I wish zebra would do time live like it is on the cd.

[jeff connelly]

fingers,la,la,song,cant live whithout, tell me what you want for the up tempo beat. it still kicks ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zebraman]

Zebra has alot of great songs. But if I have to choose I would choose these classsic songs.


Who's Behind The Door

Better Not Call

Bears

Wait Until The Summer's Gone

Tell Me What You Want

[Don Wishon]

Why?
Who's Behind The Door?
Lullaby
Time

[ZEBRAFREAK]

LULLABY IS DEFINITEY ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS WRITTEN BY ANYONE!!!

[OU812]

I WONDER WHEN THE LAST TIME ZEBRA PLAYED LULLABY

[yleekiyote]

My friend seen Randy play that on a grand piano, once........once. "Johnny Dangerously"

[ZEBRAFREAK]

RANDY USE TO DO THE PIANO PART FOR "ALL OF MY LOVE"!!!
THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS...3-1 HOUR SETS!!!

[OU812]

IT WAS THE DRUGS MAN .

[ZEBRAFREAK]

YEAH!!! THOSE WERE THE DAY I COULD HANDLE DRUGS!!! :cool:

[OU812]

IM A BEER MAN ONLY.

[ZEBRAFREAK]

MY DRINK AND DRUG IS DIET COKE NOW!!!

[GreggCo]

Has Randy or Zebra ever covered Four Sticks????

[DANNY OURSO]

FINGERS
SAID BEFORE
NO TELLIN LIES

[J.B.]

ZF- Good memory. I have a recording of Zebra playing "All of My Love", but it has a glitch in it. Another rarity...I have Zebra playing the Knack's "My Sharona", but it also has imperfections.
I wonder if I can use that as blackmail! That has to be the most "out of character" cover they ever played. I can remember seeing them play it, and wondering "are they serious"?

Greggco- Zebra did play "Four Sticks" and Randy has played it acoustically as well. An acoustic version is on My Play. I have Zebra playing it as well.

[ZEBRAFREAK]

JB-I SENT GREGG TO YOUR MY PLAY FOR I'M GONNA CRAWL!!!
OU812-GO GET IT!!!
AND WHOEVER ELSE HAS THE MAGIC COMBINATION TO GET INTO JB'S MYPLAY!!!

[OU812]

I WILL LOOK THANKS

[ZEBRAFREAK]

DID YA GET IT!!!

[OU812]

NO I DID NOT TRY AGAIN

[jeff connelly]

Zebra played lullaby at the strawberry fest this sounded o.k.:cool:

[ZEBRAFREAK]

OU812-GET IT AT JB'S MYPLAY!!!
JEFF-WHAT YEAR WAS THAT???

[Don Wishon]

ZF - Strawberry Fest was just a few months ago, right Jeff?

[ZEBRAFREAK]

THEY DID LULLABY...COOL!!! I'LL HAVE TO REQUEST IT AUG 3RD!!!

[OU812]

DON GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK THANKS

[zebragirl]

Take your fingers from my hair
He's makin you the fool

[OU812]

ZEBRAGIRL I agree fingers is the best song done by Zebra.

[zebragirl]

Fingers is really good on Zebra Live, I think even better than the
studio version.

[OU812]

Have you ever heard the orignal studio recording from the workshop demo . Its 1000 times better then the albume version.

[zebragirl]

no, i haven't. do you have a copy?

[ZEBRAFREAK]

OU812 YOU FINALLY CHANGED YOUR LOCATION...DO YOU KNOW DESTREHAN ED!!! EDDIE S. HE'S A BIG ZEBRA FAN!!!

[OU812]

No i dont but i e mailed him .ZF whats up with only one post. Someone said that zebra played LULLABY how long ago was it and did randy just sing it or did the band do the whole song like the old days.

[yleekiyote]

Zebragirl, another Bestbanker, so, around parts are you from? I'm around Ames & Barataria. It's pretty cool to know someone on the might world wide web, that lives in the same neighborhood as you. So, been a fan for long? Did you ever go to see them at Ole Man Rivers? I actually went and saw them on a riverboat, on the Mississippi once, during the 87 tour. It was awesome.

[yleekiyote]

OU812, my friend saw Zebra years ago, and mentioned that Randy played a full size white piano, for the song. Don't recall what year, but it was in the 80's for sure. And it was in New Orleans.

[OU812]

thats what i thought . i think its been years that lullaby was done. ZEBRAGIRL that song take your fingers is on the best ob cd

[zebragirl]

YLEEKIYOTE,
Yes I am a bestbanker! I live in old Marrero. My husband saw ZEBRA on the President in 1987, with Hagen & Ronnie Snow.
I was a little to young for that. ( I was listening to Duran Duran). But I have been a ZEBRA fan since 1989.

[mark]

TAKE YOUR MIDDLE FINGER FROM MY HAIR!

[OU812]

zebragirl i have a studio recorded song by HAGEN called i want to be your lover did you ever here of it.

[yleekiyote]

Yep Zebragirl, I was there. Ask your hubby if it was his shoes that I tossed my cookies on.....

[OU812]

was it chocolate chips. or jack n chips

[yleekiyote]

You know something OU812, I don't think the X-files or CSI would be able to solve that mystery!

[zebragirl]

That Hagen song along with a demo of Zebra's Who's Behind The Door are both on the WRNO rock alblum from '87 or '88. I have that record somewhere......

[OU812]

ZEBRAGIRL Me to do you know of any one who has the 7 song studio tape of persia

[zebragirl]

OU812,
My husband told me that persia use to be called Royal Orleans.
We have not heard anything by them(I'm too young), I guess they sound like Zebra?
My husband ran into the guitarist in 1986 at The Firm's concert. He said he was wearing really tight leopard pants and looked like he thought he was a rockstar!
By the way we buy alot of our audio equipment from NOAV.

[OU812]

great whats your name.

[Big Sun]

So what did Persia sound like anyway?

[OU812]

singer and guitar player were big time zep fans that somes it up.

[zebragirl]

what do you think about China Rain's song Last Forever?
I think Zebra should include this in their set list.

[mark]

I think Zebra Girl is right. Besides 'Light Of My Love' Zebra should regularly include other random China Rain tunes in their set list. While 'Last Forever' is indeed a awesome tune, I can see 'Your Only Lonely Today' fitting quite well into their standard repetoire.

[OU812]

last forever a great song . I thought Randy should have played that song with zebra I think it might have helped move his solo cd more.

[Sue]

I happen to really like China Rain "Bed of Nails". I know I might take some bashing for that, but I like it! I agree with Mark and Zebragirl...My 2 favorite songs on the album are "Last Forever" and "Light of My Love", I also like "I Loved, You Lied". Come to think of it...every song is good except "Psychedelic Sex Reaction". I think it's cheesey...thank god it's a remake. Randy does play China Rain songs at his acoustic shows sometimes. It would be cool to hear them more often though :D

[Big Sun]

Yes Sue, That line in "Psychedelic Sex Reaction" is really cheesy when Randy says "now ya shoot my pinball, got my flippers goin" ow whatever. :)

I do LOVE pinball however, so I let Randy slide on that one.

[OU812]

That might be the worst song done by randy ever.

[Sue]

Thank God Randy didn't write that song!! A band called Babylon A.D. (I think?) wrote it, China Rain covered it.

[ryank]

I was working as a tennis clerk when i heard the china rain cd. i brought it to work to listen to it from start to finish. It's really hard to have an opinion on the first listen, and really liking the artist, being a young kid, etc. Then walked in the vending machine guy - he ripped on me. "what are you listening to?!" It was pyschadelic sex reaction. One other part that gets to me is the first words of before it's too late; he's sings real low, and i'm thinking, "what is that?" i agree with the previous post about "last forever" and "i loved you lied". Without looking at the insert, I believe those are mostly randy left alone. Please don't make randy write with other people, i don't like it. I wish zebra would take some of these scattered tunes, and include them in the studio releases = riverside, eulalie, children of the heart, last forever, etc.

[OU812]

Randy told me there was a lot of out side help with about 5 songs on the cd.

[RockinRob1970]

I wish Randy could get the old mix back on his vocals. The compression or something (especially on the debut albulm) I love the best. Seems like his voice may be changing a bit over the years (God bless him, he's sung in alot of smokey clubs) Wish the live vocal mix was as clean as the studio. Hoooray for the new album! How about the next one? I'm ready. Go diamond!

According to the liner notes, "Psychedelic Sex Reaction" was written by Randy Jackson, Jack Ponti, and Vic Pepe. The song was indeed recorded by a band called Babylon A.D., on their 1992 album, Nothing Sacred.

I once saw this song requested at a Randy Jackson solo show, and he stated that he couldn't remember the lyrics! (He gave it a brief try, though.)

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=A5l62mpe39f3o

[OU812]

Jack Ponti IF YOU REMEMBER DID MOST OF THE WORK FOR A BAND CALLED BATON ROUGE.

[zebrachikodoom]

take your fingers from my hair

[RockinRob1970]

I find it hard to decide on ONE song as a favorite.

[jeff connelly]

he did a lot of work for baton rouge a great band,great songs, great people playing and there cds still sound good and as for sex reaction, randy did write that and more than one artist could have recorded it but Babalon did do it and it did better than his version they were a o.k. band . You can tune a piano but you cant tuna fish .Peace!

[banterman]

yeah, I'd have to go with "Door," although "Mind's Open" and "Time" are up there (and should be performed more)!

[OU812]

I have never heard them do minds open live.

[RockinRob1970]

Timeless song! I requested Randy to play it last night in the Pass, Miss. All he had was dry acoustic and vocals. It was pretty impressive. Sounds like a whole band playing. Needless to say it was one of the fastest songs of the night. Go to home page for rpabay@aol.com for a picture.

[RockinRob1970]

heres the link for Randy playing live in the Pass, Miss. No midi here. It was good while it lasted.

http://hometown.aol.com/rpabay/myhomepage/photo.html

[OU812]

A friend of mine drove up to see randy he brought a camcorder to the show he said there was about 25 people there.

[RockinRob1970]

I saw him there. I wish I could get some of that video (the song on the new albulm "Who am I?" . There was about 25-30 people there, but that was a dead location on a dead night. It was good being in the front row for a change.

About the best Zebra song: It'll be on the new album.

Search Google.com for Randy Jackson - There's a good recent interview.

Also, Randy says "No album title yet." Let's think of one. I came up with a list of some.

Anybody ever get depressed after Zebra leaves town?

[jeff connelly]

I have seen zebra 32 times and I have never seen them play mind even though it is A GREAT SONG AND TO BE HONEST IT IS RANDYS FAVORITE SONG. YOU CAN TUNE A PIANO BUT YOU CANT TUNA A FISH.PEACE!!!!

[banterman]

Well I guess no one did manage to request "Lullaby" on 8/3! I'm glad I did manage to generate a movement for adding "Mind's Open" to the setlist though.

I'm pretty jealous hearing about some of these live and rare versions of songs people have. The Rover? NFW! I need to hear some of this stuff!

Is it possible that someone who knows the band personally could ask them if they mind if folks from this forum put together a live rarities CD combining varioius tracks people have, just to share amongst ourselves?

[banterman]

By the way, am I alone if feeling that "Hard Livin' Without You?" is one of the worst Zebra tunes? I don't get why it's on "Best of" and why it's touted as one of the better 3.V songs on the website. That song just sounds to me like something some pop star who never in their life heard Led Zeppelin would sing, and I love the rest of that album!

[RockinRob1970]

I guess Mind's Open is one of Randy's favorites. Just the guitar in the beginning is so emotional. As soon as I requested it at his acoustic show, he jumped on it. It's like he said in the interview (search for it on google.com) The first few chords in the song make the statement. That song is timeless.

About "Hard Living Without You": Very emotional. Not so much the instrumental part but the lyrics and vocals. Very touching and like reality.

I asked Randy about where did people get all those tracks of live performaces. He said alot of people have them from 1980. Some have come from more recent shows. If you have questions about file sharing or whatever, I'd just email him and ask. He's a friendly guy and does answer his emails.

-Rob

[OU812]

banterman the guys dont mind sharing all of the old tunes its the new stuff that some people have a rough mix of that the band wants to keep to there selfs. I wonder if we could put up a topic called ZEBRA SONGS AND WHO EVER WANTS TO CAN SEND OR DOWNLOAD A SONG TO AND FROM THE TOPIC PAGE. i have no clue do you.

[ABITA MAN]

A favorite of mine that seems to be overlooked is "Don't Walk Away". It sounds even better live.

[banterman]

Abita, I wish I could agree with you from experience about "DWA" but I'll have to just take your word for it (as far as it being live).

OU812, re: your idea about posting mp3s, I think the server for this forum can't handle the file size. But maybe we could start a thread where people say what they have available and someone could make a master list and somehow try to compile a CD by mail? Or at least it could be a way for people to swap recordings.

[OU812]

ok i know what to do stay tuned.

[RockinRob1970]

Just go to winmx like everybody else.
:cool:

[banterman]

I don't know what winmx is, but if it's some illegal place to rip off music from artists then I don't know why they'd have rare recordings of Zebra playing "the rover" in 1980, and I also don't want to patronize them and encourage unauthorized theft of music "like everyone else."

[banterman]

by the way, I just got the china rain CD, and I am like "Oh my god, I can't believe that is the same Randy Jackson from Zebra!" A little too along the lines of Night Ranger for me.

[OU812]

B MAN RANDY HAD A LOT OF OUT SIDE WRIGHTERS ,<---- TO HELP HIM OUT ON THE CD. AFTER TALKING TO RANDY HE SEEMS NOT THAT HAPPY WITH HOW A LOT OF THE SONGS CAME OUT ON THE CD.

[GreggCo]

China Rain to me was so-so. Believe it or not I liked THE SIGN better! Still neither project holds a candle to Zebra

[RockinRob1970]

winmx is like napster. I asked Randy at the show where people got all those old recordings from the Madhatter and stuff. He said everybody had those. You won't find many from real albums though. People bring digital recorders into concerts/solo gigs Randy said. Mp3's aren't that good anyway. If your a real fan you'll buy the album anyway. Ask OU812, he knows about that stuff (right ou812?)

China Rain had some good songs on it like "Last Forever" The songs were written some time ago. Some sound like 80's bedroom metal, like "I Loved, You Lied". Still good though. I had the same first impression the first time I heard it too.

[OU812]

thats right i bought every cd and i dont sell my boots .

[banterman]

Well, let me ask y'all this: if I like Zebra as someone who comes from the angle of a Led Zeppelin/Rush/Yes/Moody Blues fan, and I don't like "Hard Livin' wo/You" because it sounds to me like REO Speedwagon and Toto whom I don't like because they are too poppy for me, and I don't like China Rain because I think it's too much jumping on the bandwagon of hard rock bands that decided they wanted to see more chicks at their shows a la Bad English, Damn Yankees, etc...

would I be more likely to like the Sign CD over China Rain?

The only tune I like at all on China Rain is "Only Lonely Today." The rest of it I can't see how anyone could possibly think it is worthy of the guy who wrote all those timeless songs for Zebra, and I have to agree with whomever it was who said that Randy should not co-write. At least he shouldn't co-write with people who are trying to cash in on a stylistic fad when he is capable of writing true classics on his own. The only Randy co-write I like is "But No More" Maybe Guy should get in on it some more! (not to be opinionated or anything!) :-)

BY THE WAY, is the Zebra chick who was praising China Rain a few pages ago the same woman who was selling their merch at the Downtown show on 8/3 and who was telling me how great that album is? (don't worry - I won't retribute ;-) )

[RockinRob1970]

I WOULDN'T MIND MORE CHICKS AT THE CONCERT.

[Sue]

Yep Banterman, that "chick" was Chinarain62 and she said she was at The Downtown show on 8/3 selling the merchandise at the booth.
I don't think I can fairly answer your question though. I happen to like China Rain/Bed of Nails. I saw The Sign once at The Village Pub last fall, and it was "soso". Although, I was impressed with Terry Brock's voice. Maybe if I had the CD or saw them live a few more times, they would grow on me. I believe alot of Zebra fans were disappointed in or didn't give a fair chance to China Rain/ The Sign because they were expecting to hear Zebra. Sometimes these musicians go off and do solo projects to expand their musical horizions, take their talents to different levels. Just a thought...

[RockinRob1970]

I thought the China Rain was pretty good. It wasn't my favorite, but I bought the CD and there are some good songs on it. From what I heard, the CD was released kind of late and the songs had been written long before the CD was out.

The Sign, though (Randy's "For Hire" project) I thought sounded kind of drab and too 80's. That's just my personal opinion. Randy said the label was an 80's label. (I was right about the 80's thing). Now If they could get a hit like the Damn Yankees did, that would be cool.

[banterman]

That's funny. I thought China Rain sounded too 80s! I'm afraid no one will be able to convince stubborn old me that China Rain or Damn Yankees or any music in that vain is worth a hill of beans compared to the 'bra, hit or no hit.

[OU812]

RANDY is not to fond of the cd anyway.

[zebrachikodoom]

i like bears too, it was one of the dirst songs i ever learned on the guitar besides a passage to bankok

[banterman]

wow, a woman who likes Zebra AND Rush! awesome!

[zebrachikodoom]

and plays guitar and bass guitar

[yleekiyote]

"Zebrachick..........will you marry me" I play drums, we have ourselves a family band. :D

[zebrachikodoom]

sorry i'm taken

[mark]

What is this a dating service? lol! But if Chickadoom has a 442 cutlass I'll race ya!

[zebrachikodoom]

no not yet but i do have a 85' cutlass supreme and 75' convertible stingray vette, and 81' z28

[mark]

AH! You'd probably eat up my Nissan 240SX. But soon in my driveway will be a new 350Z touring or track model once all the hype dies down. I haven't decided on which one yet.
Maybe you'll be ready to race then. better pull out the vette. Your gonna need 300+ horse!

[zebrachikodoom]

the camaro has 350 hp the vette has 165 hp

[zebrachikodoom]

i do like those old nissan z's though

[mark]

But the new ones can eat em up and spit em out!

[mark]

165 hp vette? My 240 probably would give that a challenge. But I like the 96 LT4 special editions. I was gonna do that as a second car but then reality hit. I don't have the best driving record and Insurance in Jersey ****s!

[zebrachikodoom]

165 hp was stock in those cars back in the day gas crisis

[OU812]

BOY DID THIS TOPIC CHANGE.

[indyagent]

He's Making You The Fool

and Take Your Fingers From My Hair (live version)

Those are my favs

Randy

[indyagent]

I had an 82 280ZX and that car rocked. Power everything with digital dash. T tops. Seat warmers, headlight washers and a fuel injected monster

[Eulalie]

[ZEBRAFREAK]

ZF EVER NOTICE HOW FAST THAT SONG IS IN THE SOUNDTRACK NO SMALL AFFAIR SOUNDTRACK-"HARD LIVING WITHOUT YOU"(ZEBRA)

[Big Sun]

Yeah, that version of Hard Livin' is really fast. How about those handclaps too? I haven't heard my copy in over 10 years but I kinda remember some cheesy, mid 80's drum machine handclaps on the track.
I bought that tape @ the old record store in the Esplande mall in 1988 for $0.99. It sure was hard collecting that kinda stuff before MP3's!

[ZEBRAFREAK]

I BOUGHT THE ALBUM AND THE VIDEO!!!
I GAVE RANDY MY COPY OF THE ALBUM
TO GIVE TO MY FRIEND JIM AND HE KEPT IT!!!

[OU812]

THE VERY BEST IS TAKE YOUR FINGERS FROM THE ORIGNAL WORKSHOP DEMO TAPE.

[RockinRob1970]

Great songs but I think that there is no best song (they're all best). I could not pick one over another. Or, the best song will be on the new album.

[zebrachikodoom]

can't live without is one of the best songs, after fingers

[rushhakeem]

Thats a toughy but here goes,

1- Fingers
2- Time
3- Cant Live Without
4- Tell me what you want
5-Shes waiting for you

[OU812]

Don't forget to send him a copy of the last WHAM CD

[RockinRob1970]

Anyone ever listened to the CPR album that Randy sings "Back in Black"? Awesome album! I listened to it years ago and had no idea that was Randy singing! The last song on the instrumental album is really a killer tune.

[Sue]

Hmm...i'll have to check that out.

[Big Sun]

My friends and I thought that the Back In Black cover was kinda goofy. It doesn't fit Randy well to me........

Randy is awesome but as Randy, not Brian Johnson. :)

[banterman]

interestingly, David Crosby also has a group called CPR with his son whose last name is Raymond (b/c he was adopted and met DC as an adult) and whoever P is.

I'm skeptical about Randy singing BIB but gotta hear it. Speaking of AC/DC, did any of you happen to see the Zebra shows in '89 that were recorded for the live album at which Cannon opened up, along with Razor White and Deljuidice? That Cannon band was hilarious. All their songs seemed to be about hell, and then they covered "Highway to Hell" among some other ACDC tunes.

[Eddie S]

I agree, it is kind of goofy sounding. Way over the top for Randy.

[RockinRob1970]

I heard Randy do B in B years ago with his MIDI show. I thought he did a good job. If that is really him (on the CPR album (not Crosby), Somebody verify that? That was a killer album.

[3.v]

don't forget l;ive +5 And the tour de force Fractured Mirro never duplicated it or added to it on 2 & 3..

[GreggCo]

I remember seeing Deljudice. Anyone know whatever happened to them????

[chinarain62]

Fingers and Makin' you the fool without a doubt!

[banterman]

Randy told me via email that Mike Dejuidice is now starring as Billy Joel in a musical about Billy Joel, and then I happene to notice that also he seems to be doing billy Joel tribute shows at the Downtown club in Farmingdale, LI where Zebra often plays. I think the band is called Big Shot.

[JJD]

I have the CPR CD and think Back in Black is good but not as strong as some of the other tunes. My favorite is Zakk Wylde's "I Wish"...Randy did "Shook Me All Nite Long" at his MIDI Show. I thought that was a better cover.

Fingers Hands down but I cant count the new songs until I hear them on 4.

[OU812]

fingers

[zebragirl]

ok, i brought this thread back up to the top of the list. chinarain, kissterical, stinker, hughbond, dawnie, gooup, tome811, Miguelbastardo, GuitarPLYR, earl, STIX, ziggy, macca, Mr. B, rob, bayougirl, carlw, chara, doorman, palerider, swan, nydreamer, and to anyone who i have not added (i tried), what do you think is the best zebra song ever?

[macca]

For me, its a dead heat between original versions of Fingers and Summer's Gone. They just rock!

[pale rider]

I think I would have to go with the original La-La Song!!!!

"She's tellin' you she's goooooooone, She's gooooooooooone."

Without a doubt "Why" is Randy's masterpiece.

[RockinRob1970]

I've only heard the song "Why" and the other new songs about 3 times. If I could only hear them a couple more times (hint, hint), I might have to change my favorite list (although I hate to choose).

[hscott]

Randy had played the studio version of "Why" for me when in Florida in November. If there were no other songs on the new album besides this one, I would still be ecstatic. "Why" is the culmination of all Randy's influences and questions he's had about life. I hope you all enjoy this one because it's "all that".

Well since you went to SO MUCH trouble and since you mentioned ME SPECIFICALLY...how could I not try to answer. This as we all know is a bit of a difficult question to answer (with ANY band). For the looongest time I absolutely loved Tell Me What You Want. But of late..'Children At Heart" has become one of my favorites and I still can't believe that IT was the song removed from 3.V. The record co. removed it 'cause it sounded like another tune on the album. Anyone know which song I'm referring to?
(Here he goes again)

"Why am I hear all alone, I've got growing pains, and I feel so old......"

[hscott]

On your knees before you get too old.
Count the cost before you lose your soul.
Don't you question God before you die.
Cause all you'll hear is how and never why.

[RocktheChance]

Oh where do i start? Can't put them in order but here are some
"She's waiting for you"...."But No More"......"Fingers"(of coarse)
"Can't live Without (maybe #1)....but my favorite line from Zebra......."Why am I here all alone...its such a crazy world.....and I'm feeling sooo stoned...I'm kinda tired, walking in the rain, sleeping in the saaaaand"..Anybody know the song??

I think he's just suggesting that they go into th estudio and re-record "Take You Fingers From My Hair". Much like other bands do and include in a compilation package...like The Police with "Don't Stand So Close..." not a bad idea I might add!

[RockinRob1970]

More videos! OU- Can't you do this?

[GuitarPLYR]

This is really tough, because for me I have three Zebra modes. I get in different moods for "Zebra", "No Tellin' Lies", and "3.V". All three albums have a different feeling to them. Of course you can listen the the "Live" or "Greatest Hits" album and get a taste of it all.
With that said, I would still probably pick "Take Your Fingers From My Hair" . . . ANY version

[OU812]

WORKING ON A NEW ONE AS WE SPEAK.

[RockinRob1970]

Well, I mean like a "studio video" You know, with the lip gloss, air drums, lip sync and stuff. Like the old videos with maybe some more interview. :cool:

[OU812]
