Greg,randall,Hooked on PT and Jbeseau,
thank you for your welcome.
Hooked on PT, I live in Rome, and, as you know,
PT has composed a magnificent instrumental track
titled VIA VENETO. In Rome young people like rap
and hip hop, but there are real rockers too.
The first PT's album I heard was CRASH AND BURN,
just real kick-ass, just like HEAT IN THE STREET.
ED, I would really like if PT would play Beatles'
track like H>ELTR KELTER and TAXMAN.
Many greetings to the other side if the ocean. |

Actually, PT does cover "Taxman" on the Blues Tracks 2 release, right before he tears into "Purple Haze"....and for what it's worth, this release also has his version of "Whipping Post", which most of you have heard him do live.
Randal, definitely search out some King's X...
"Faith, Hope & Love" as well as the first two ("Out Of The Silent Planet" & "Gretchen Goes To Nebraska") are very good starting points. Ty Tabor's solo stuff is very good as well as Doug Pinnick's side project called Pound Hound...You'll spend a small fortune catching up on this band, so leave a little room in the wallet for the TNA release... Gotta have yer priorities straight!
And a LOUD SHOUT OUT to Eric & Rick! I haven't heard a peep from those guys, and I've inquired as to how they are doing after the crazy hurricane situation a while back. I haven't heard anything from anybody about them! Anybody heard from them? Hope all is well with those two!
And as always...PTB is King! |

You're right Rockpig, I've got only Blues tracks
number one,and PT really played it on that work.

For the record, Pat did cover Rocky Racoon on the solo live disc. it would be cool to hear him cover "Live & Let Die". I'll bet he'd do a better job then GnR. |

No sorry Travelers. I heard the Crystal Bay Show is going to have an injunction put on it. Something about a 1-year return clause. Lets see, I bought a Pat show at the Festival in July 03 and I bought a Pat show for Crystal Bay February 28, 04 and had his draw all pumped up to where I was happy..then some crackerjacker tries pushing this January show, in my very small hometown and in front of my March Madness Concert Series with Monsters of Guitar Rock. We had PT on our list first for a 60,000 watt, new, super showroom in Reno, capacity 1,000. Ted Nugent, Montrose, Les Dudek, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck all so far invited. March 1 through March 31 is our timeframe for these shows. Wee running television and multiple radio spots. With a playdate 35 miles away in January PT can't happen anymore for us. I heard PT wants to play the scuz hole Biltmore, across from the street of the Crystal Bay where I did the show earlier this year. Kick a little dirt on that...and let a local weasle book the show. Thank you a helluva lot. Blu |

oh yeah, Specks and Strat, I spaced on Pat having done those two Beatles tunes! His version of Rocky Racoon helped inspire "Ballad of Anna Walsh" one of our hack originals. I was just listening to the tape of when that song was born, and I heck you not --I started out singing the lyrics of RR to a new lick Tom was playing, then made up a song about a brunette I met at a wine-and-cheese thing earlier that evening. It has become our best original, second only to Shadow of the Mount (written at Mr. Rainier). And yes this message involves PT! hahaha
go SEAHAWKS (gulp - I hope)
hey JMROXX, I'm coming to NYC on the 29th, with time late on the 30th. You still around? Rich and Carl, how far away are you guys? |

wow.... can you get an injunction on a PT show? Sounds kinda heavy, considering it's only music. I mean, after all how much $ is there in it for a promoter to put an injunction against a gig? I say let that boy boogie woogie how, when, and where he chooses...., but that's just my opinion. What is a one year return clause? Sounds kinda like Santa Clause... he comes once a year. Hmmm... kinda sounds like my ex for that matter. LOL! Well... let's just hope there are no more bomb threats called in to the stage. I am suprised they never caught that person. Maybe these things take more time than we would like. Sure hope it happens very soon. Enough trouble in the world without some nut job threatening to harm our favorite guitar slinger. |

Hey ya down there to the other side of the ocean,
I guess you're sleeping like a log right now.
Hooked on PT.. in which US town do you live?
If only I could travel to Usa!!
First of all I'd see LA, and then Seattle, and so on. Sure I would get many PTB gigs.
Jbeseau, maybe Johnny Winter is as fast as Pt, but
not that sharp.What d'ya think 'bout Satriani?
Cheers ya all! |

Ty Tabor is the Beatlenik of Kings X. Doug Pinnick is heavily influenced by Sly Stone. I've seen a whack of shows in my time and no other act is from planet Kings X. Pinnick creates an OCEAN of GROOVE, then stirs in a heavy dose of SOUL.Ty & Jerry add the Beatles.
Man, I'm getting goose bumps thinking about the shows I have seen when they open with Groove Machine. In fact, "Tape Head' is my personal fav, as it is the first on the smaller label. The band seems free and less restricted, and My God what groove, what soul, what harmonies.
That music is soooo good, but you know, unfortunately to write music like this, you have to see and experience a lot of bad ••••. It's like, their is light at the end of the tunnel, very spiritual, which is not surprising when you consider that they were once promoted as a Christian Rock Band. Ponder this:
Little Bit of Soul
Put a little soul in your pocket
Put a little soul in the street
Put a little soul in your rhythm
Put a little soul in me
Put a little soul in your lover
Put a little soul in those sheets
Put a little soul in something
Put a little soul in me
Just a little bit, just a little bit
A little bit of soul
Put a little soul in your music
Put a liitle soul in your groove
Put a little soul in your vision
Put a little soul in you
Put a little soul in your living
Put a little soul in your time
Put a little soul in your religion
Put a little soul in mine
Just a little bit, just a litle bit
A little bit of soul
Put a little soul in the thing
That you love to do
Let it all go if you want to
It'll come back to you
Just a little bit, just a little bit
A little bit of soul |

I wuzz lurking about last night in a local saloon when I ran into a local band manager that I`ve known for a few years. He told me that PT, Night Ranger, and a local group, will be playing at a big biker annual biker rally in nearby Fort Lauderdale the 2nd weekend before Christmas! WOOHOO!!!
I`m hoping to make it up to Daytona this coming weekend. Rick and Eric have a few gigs lined up there this coming weekend, and Rick Derringer does too.
Hey Kid65, I`m sad to say that Johnny Winter ain`t what he used to be. I`ve seen him several times over the last 7~8 years, and he`s just a shell of himself because of his poor health. I saw his brother, Edgar, a few months ago and he`s doing just fine and in fact did some vocals with PT and Carmine on the new CD. I saw Joe Satriani last weekend and Joe is a genius with the 6 string!!!
Oh man, I was up in Connecticut this past week and I was having some kinda weird flashback! I swear, it was like all the tree leaves up there were ever so slowly turning yellow, red, and orange!!! Oh, the colors, the colors!!!

"Dogman" is also a King's X masterpiece. I compare it to "Black Pearl" in that the record label did practically nothing to promote it because of a strained relationship at the time. FWIW, King's X made VH1's list of the 100 most influential hard rock acts as voted on by fellow musicians. I've gotta believe that PT garnered quite a few votes on that as well. |
Toast Poster
| | Posted on Sunday, October 17, 2004 - 02:28 pm: | |
Love'm all Blur, Dogman had the big producer & was the last push from Atlantic with Pretend making it to the radio. It's a crying shame the state of radio and big record companies. The artist's are damned either way. If Pat didn't have intial support from Polygram - none of us here would be posting on this site. You just wonder why they drop the ball. Kings X same thing, I remember hearing It's Love from Faith Hope & Love on the radio & taking a chance on the rest of the disc. I've been a fan ever since.
It's all about profits and trends I guess - the companies are looking for return on investment, don't sell enough biscuits and thats the end. Imagine Pat in the board room at Polydork central - "look Pat you need tight red leather pants like that guy in Loverboy - you also need a hair cut it's the 80's you know. We need you to dumb down the music and add synth keyboards - stop singing about cocaine and start singing about getting laid." |
Blur

Well put. It's all about timing. King's X was at their peak about 2-3 years before "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and was light years ahead of any those "grunge" bands, at least in my opinion. PT and King's X are at the top of my list for bands that should have been a household name but never got there for one reason or another. |

Toast Poster! We talked about Kings X so long ago! You turned me on to Doug's side project "Trouble" which I dug/dig!!! That was some post brother!! I love the circle of influence thing! Who listened to what and how it shows up in their music and how they OWN it and make it theirs!! Kings X is totally Kings X! They may have influences, but dammit! Who sounds like Kings X!!?
I was talking to a friend earlier tonight and I said, "Your record collection is so much better than mine, but mine is so much better because of you."
Thanks to everyone here who has EVER mentioned another band, because rest assured I have gone and sampled at least 90% of them! And probably liked at least 75% of that!!! I love finding out what other people like, especially people that already LOVE something that I love!!! Hint, hint! Heavy PTB reference here!!!
BTW, I talked to a lady in Belgium today, okay, chatted and she likes PTB!!! She admitted to only knowing Boom Boom, but she liked it!!! Okay, yes, we were naked at the time!! What the hell!?
What is that damn instrumental band that RockPig got me listening to about 4 years back!!? I need to dig them out again!!
I'm not drunk! Wish I was! But I love all you guys and gals! Beautiful post Toast Poster/srxie/srxieless!!! I don't know how or why, but it hit me!!!

Hey kids65! Ever hear of a Texas legend Johnny Nitzinger!!? He played for Alice Cooper for a bit if I remember correctly! Man can that boy play! Read interviews from him and his story is something else! He was fronted $1 Million dollars for his first album and when it got time to make it he was damn near broke! I think he said he had to borrow to finish!!
One of his in my mind best albums, "Live Better Electrically" is one of my all-time faves!! He is bluesy, kicking-your-ass-rocking, and soulful as the best! And, he is late 50's, early 60's and still kicking some Texas @$$!!!
Once, at one of his shows I called out a request for a song!! He said, "That's second set material!" I told him I couldn't stay out that late as my then wife would kill me!! He said, "She can only kill you once!" I stayed! The only guy I have EVER seen that refuses to turn it down, so they throw blankets over his stacks!!! I promise!!!! Big old moving blankets, shaking from the sound behind them!!!!

Hey Bette!!!!!!!!
We're still here. I keep watching for a show we can get to, it seems like nothing jives with our schedule anymore.
We were in Utah two weeks ago , and this week I flew to Sac. just for a couple days for a wedding. It seems like I never stop. Daryl is still going to school, so between the two of our date books we have a hard time fitting much else in.
1-29-05......Tahoe ? HMMMMM? just happens that's my week in Sac, maybe we need to think about it!
Hey Scott and JO haven't heard from you in a long time, you too Ed! Hope everyone is good

JB! No one sounds like Kings X, & it is the influences that shapes the artist, but the music comes from inside them. It's the same reason we love PT so much. Their is a lot of singers, that play a mean guitar and write their own songs, but who sounds lke PT? I've never heard another Black Pearl.
I believe you must be referring to Supershine with Doug Pinnick and Bruce Franklin from Trouble.
I remember those old chats, in fact I rember trying to find your picture on a SRV Double Trouble album cover all evening. I spent countless hours with a magnifying glass & then I find out a few chats later it was a Molly Hatchet cover you were on!
It's hard to beleive but I,ve been on this site for 8-9 years all ready & I'm still waiting for the follow up to School of Hard Knock's, Hot Shot, Black Pearl, you know the KILLER hard rock PT materpiece - I'm hoping T'n'A is it. I preordered mine from Amazon along with Deep Purple's Burn 30th anniversary edition, should be here end of October. |

Hey Randal, are the guy with the bass in his hands
photographed on occasion of PTB's tour in Algona?
So you play bass with PT or have you simply the same name? California is delightful!!
PTB STALKER..I'm very sorry to hear that Johnny
Winter is now such a sick man.I hope that's not a question of heroin..and so of AIDS.Do you remember Steve Ray VAUGHAN? Oh ••••!! Come on Johnny!!
Jbezeau.. I have never heard Nitzinger, but I once
saw one of his CDs in a shop, it was an anthology.
Ya know, here in italy you can easily find works
of musicians like Madonna or Eminence, but that one is not frequent.Anyway I guess it's stuff like Ry Cooder and Stevie Ray Vaughan, ain'it? |

Like you gumball, the money has never been a motive. I do it for the sheer delight of hearing PT. In my position I can book anyone. You start to think as your standing in line at the delicatessan, waiting, waiting, suddenly you start to think I don't want this, I don't need this..I'm out a here - "Whole Lotta Nothin" - Blindside Blues Band. Leave it to you to spin a negative on top of a huge bummer. Favorite slinger is right -- favorite person - I wish. But the other hand filled up first. |

Seattle is the city where Jimy Hendrix was born.

Kids65, sorry to many bar-maids. It was actually 2001. I think rome was the show that got canceled due to a fued with a near by venue. I live near Frankfurt in Germany. Had to go near Saarbrücken on business just about every week a couple of years ago.
I am now ready to rumbel. HiHo, HiHo to the stripshow we all go...oh no who put bar-maids in my head. Hope to see a big turnout tonight. Rockin' Roadster off to Rock his butt off. |

No KidsOut the House, I'm not in the Pat Travers Band -- YET! gimme time -- LOTS of time. I only hope to jam a tune or two with PT some day. That would be the schuess! And gREG, Ehm TV was retired when V (Van) was booted and S (Steve) joined the band. Now we're STEHM!
That's it - The "TNA It Takes Alot of Balls with STEHM" Tour! Sounds like Badass REK to me . . .
And yeah, Strat, I did suspect that we'd get plucked but couldn't help hoping for better. I'm sure Jerry's Kids will figure out to catch the ball when JR shows up -- tomorrow! already picked him up in Fantasy football . . . and of course I have mixed feelings as he's a former LA Fader and a SF 69er!
Which brings me to gREG -- it doesn't look good for coming over this weekend, man. Got an interview in LA next Tuesday and off to NYC Thursday, with plenty to do before I go. Aw shucks. Or is it schuess? anyway, DAMN but I'll be watching it on NFL Game Day.
Last thing, today WATER is falling out of the sky in San Diego! What does it mean? That hasn't happened here in many moons, seems like last year. OOPS - I'm off topic. Bye now |

from Amazon:
Whenever rock icons like guitarist/vocalist Pat Travers and drummer Carmine Appice work together, enlisting the support of the ingenious all-round bassist, T.M. Stevens, into the bargain, the result is bound to be a technically accomplished masterpiece oozing sheer energy and power. The current album by Travers & Appice, It Takes A Lot Of Balls, certainly lives up to its promising title: real men playing rock music for people with guts. Powerful blues rock with gritty guitar riffs, driving drum sounds and intricate bass grooves mark the album’s 13 tracks – be it the compelling opener ‘Better From A Distance’, the ripping ‘I Don’t Care’, the typical Southern rock of ‘Can’t Escape The Fire’, or the tender sounds of ‘Hey You’. Pat Travers proves to be not only an expert when it comes to dynamic power chords and fast solos, he also sprinkles in fantastic slide parts and demonstrates with ‘Stand Up’ that he knows his funk rock. "The recordings were cut in one go, the! album was written almost exclusively at the studio," Carmine Appice enthuses. "We’d planned one or two tracks, but the material seemed to almost write itself. I expect that our audience will love the CD. I’ve been a fan of Pat’s for a long time. This collaboration was definitely worth waiting for all those years."
It Takes A Lot Of Balls highlights the trademarks of these three exceptional musicians, and the result is a timeless, ambitiously recorded, powerful blues rock album that highlights not only the technical competence of each individual musician but also their exquisite songwriting. As Carmine Appice describes It Takes A Lot Of Balls: "These are some of the best songs that I’ve ever written and recorded." |

I was not trying to put a bad spin on anything. Just don't think this should be spewed across the globe for all to see. Annnnywaaay..... The new TnA CD is just great. Go get hat one everybody. I got mine from Ebay, but I will get one extra at the store to make sure they get the click for it. |

Randal: Sorry for the late response, but I've been...busy. NYC is about a 4-hour drive from me, and I'm committed to be in town this weekend, dammit, I'd love to buy you a Heinie or something...  it's just not in the cards. I'm about an hour outside DC now, for future reference.
Counting town to the US release of TNA...from what I saw live, I think I'm gonna like it. 
Next week, 2 back-to-back shows of my latest favorite guitar-slinger, Joe Bonamassa. His new CD is great...I'd recommend it highly. Title track is a cover of the Blind Faith song "Had To Cry Today", which rocks on the CD and even more so live. A little something for everyone...some great slide work, a ballad, a bunch of hard-rockin' tunes with a blues soul. Definitely worth seeing live if you get the chance, too. And, unfortunately, unlike Pat, he plays about 200 shows a year, so it's a bit easier to see him.
Just took a road trip and spun "Go For What You Know" on the highway...is that CD fantastic, or what? Hard to believe I've been listening to that for...25 years? Ack, I'm getting old. Now, can someone help me find my car keys?

Hey Purple Carl,
GFWYK is one of the absolute best "Live" releases ever put out by ANYONE. I'll continue to play that sucker for another 25 years!
On another note, one of the Guitar Magazines recently put out the top 100 WORST solos, and it pleases me to say that there was NO mention of our man PT anywhere near that article! The magazines always leave PT out of the various guitar lists, so they damn well better leave him outta this one! LOL!

By the way Jimi Hendrix was a false hippy.
Actually he was hard rock's father.
MACHINE GUN is a hard rock masterpiece, just
like Led Zep's COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN, but Jimy
played that tune beforehand. |

OK, here it is. First Review TNA in Europe.
First of all i am to say hello to everyone in PT Land. They are having fun.
I would actually have to tilt the message board with words like rocked, funkyfied, the greatest, the bestest, ... I won't.
They all arrived in a huge tour bus. A real tour bus! Blackend windows and all!
They have loads of merchandise! Besides the usual stuff like cd's, t-shirts; something for bar-maids, strings with the TNA logo on the sparce space. They come in pink and black.
The venue was one of the smallest places i have seen. They managed to do a great job. They had two bar-maids. None with hair in their face. Just what to expect from german bar-maids.
The Lizards kicked off the show with a very small but fantastic crowd. Very solid performance. Good hard bluesrock. Another reason to spend some money for merchandise. Haven't been able to listen to the cd yet. But i am shure it smokes loke the band did.
Then TNA hit the stage. First thing to notice, the crowd moved from save distance to almost on stage. T.M. Stevens is an absolute eye catcher and showman. Great musician and very nice wonderful down to earth person. He had his wild african/rasta style and outfit. Constantly interchanging with the audience and other band members. If i hadn't seen him sitting around very relaxed, i would say this guy can't keep still. Carmine also gave a tremendous show. Monster drum solo. Of course he was limited to sitting behind the drums, but stilled proved his stage presence. Also very involved with the audience. I haven't seen that many smiles on Pat's face for a long time. Obviously enjoying the show. Not having to carry the full vocal load as in his own band, it gave him enough room to roam the stage and do some nice moves with T.M. Both T.M. and PAT made full usage of their effect boards. All in all my head is ringing, my guts are trying to find their normal position, my feet are still dancing and i missed my highway exit on my way home (still processing the show). I don't have to tell you extrordinary musicians these guys are.
They played for about 90 minutes. Here the set list. Have it in copy, so i wouldn't forget. All songs TNA except ( )
Taken
Better from a distance
I don't care
Crash and burn (PTB)
Living alone (BBA)
Bass solo (10 min!)
Gotta have ya
Keep on rockin'
Turn me on (T.M.)
Can't escape the fire
Guitar solo
I lala love you (PTB)
Evil (Cactus)
Drum solo
Sexy (Rod Stewart)
Boom Boom (PTB)
encore
Stand up
Living alone
Thanks for one the best nights in my life and having had the plearsure meeting all these fabulous artists.
GO OUT AND SEE BOTH BANDS AND OR MEMBERS ANY PLACE YOU CAN!!

Quote:Evil (Cactus)
Pat playing Cactus.... never in my wildest dreams! The Cactus albums (w/ Jim McCarty and Rusty Day) are without a doubt my absolute favorite albums of all time!!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing that could be better is if they played Parchman Farm ala Cactus style - now that's Blues Rock!
I couldn't tell you how many Cactus LP's I wore out durning the 70' & 80's
WOW! TNA playing Cactus.... I can't believe it.

Sorry pics from Germany will take til saturday. There is only one photo express store in town. Their machine is being repaired. They said they are ready late friday.
Won't make Hannover tonight.
Snorkels you are in for a treat!! Pull your strings up tight. Too bad you'll miss T.M. Stevens. Got to talk to Tony last night and he is a real cool guy as well.
Kids65 i am half american and half german. This is not essential for being a Hammerhead, but it's a damm good start. Well of course i know Michael, but personaly. I am not that much into soccer, but i do root for Eintracht Frankfurt on occasion. I am more into american football, but not the Seahawks. I lived in Houston Texas a long time. I got stuck with the Oilers now Titans or should i say Midgets the way they are playing now.
Greg after further review the call stands; you where not there as a bar-maid. So tell the truth, what was your disguise? I guess you didn't make it cause a liter of gas costs $2.00 over here. A liter of beer was the same price last night. Let me tell you, it was not the problem to get in that car, i had trouble gettin' out again. After a couple of hours of my butt nearly scraping the road i almost needed help to get out that thing. I hope no one saw me.

Still sounds like a helluva show.
Actually Rod, gREG DID make it to the show. I heard that Interpol was wise to his presence in Europe. In order to avoid blowing his German barmaid cover, he dressed up in African garb and hit the stage AS TM STEVENS! They can do wonders with makeup these days. If you looked closely enough, you could see the roadie who was standing behind him under the poncho-like overshirt, playing the actual bass riffs while gREG's hands were conspicuously out of the picture -- as in, up his tutu! It'll be harder for him to do Tony Franklin, as I believe he still has not grown a beard. Don't put it past gREG to shave just for the gig! Just curious g -- what in the hell do you wear on Halloween???????????? |

Rod von Duetscheland,
Thanks for the TNA concert review. Sounds like the guys are having a great tour. I agree with Jimmy "Big Pipe" Beseau...I hope there is a chance for more shows here in the U.S. (other than the recently announced Anaheim show...you lucky bastards!).
For what it's worth, A&E's Biography Channel is featuring a show tonight (Wednesday) on the life of Jimi Hendrix. Show time, I believe is 9 to 10 pm EST.
And finally, here's a direct quote I spotted on another website from Kiss bass player Gene Simmons...I had to share this little tidbit of his thought process with you... Here goes...
"I also have very clear (apparently biologically sound) notions about the difference between man and woman. The male of the species, we are told, manufactures billions of sperm daily. The female of the species only makes one or two eggs per month/per cycle. The only problem females and males have with each other can be summed up with the following: The female of the species has convinced herself that all those billions of sperm are only for her. Can't we have a few hundred million to play around with? Now I ask you. Is that too much to ask for?"
And as always...PTB is King! |

Hi Rod, thanks for the review. I'm off to the last night of the tour in Paris.
I'm looking forward to seeing Tony Franklin again. First time I saw him was with The Firm, with Paul Rodgers and Jimmy Page. Last time the guitarist was Dave Gilmour and the singer was Kate Bush! So PT's in good company. |

| | Posted on Wednesday, October 20, 2004 - 07:25 am: | |
Hi Rod, Michael's got an exytra-fine guitar technique. When i was a KID -15 tears old- I bought his live work titled LIVE AT BUDOKAN, so
damn cool. There are tracks Like ATTACK OF THE
MAD AXEMAN, CRY FOR THE NATIONS and INTO THE ARENA into it, just kick-your-ass masterpieces,
but I don't find the cd version here in Italy.
Among US sports I prefer baseball, taht is more
rational and regular. Brute force ain't nothing
without technique. With regard to european football I support SS LAZIO. Do you know that
MANNSCHAFT?

When we arrived at the venue, Pat made us feel very welcome and introduced us to everybody. So that was a good start. They are all very nice indeed. When the show started, the place wasn't completely packed, but the crowd responded good at The Lizzards, and I have to say, it's a great band! Surprising singer, very good.
So it was a great warming up for TnA!
As the cd isn't out too long, many songs were very new to most of the people, but as Rodney already said, the band was in a happy state with many laughs on stage, and the audience liked that. And PT rocked! Looks tougher then ever, seems ten years younger again. Tony Franklin did an amazing solo on his frettless bass and Carmine did his solo, he almost hit the drumkit of stage, haha.
It was the same setlist as in Dortmund, except the TM song was replaced for Snortin'.
So it was a great show, nice to see PT has become a real rocker again, even a sexy one, when he shakes his hips during the Rod Stewart song Sexy, haha. Heavy song now, better! And funny..
Nice merchandise too, of course we got ourselves some shirts, finally real Travers merchandise!
Also met Catman and company, nice to meet you!
Well, now we will focus on sunday, another TnA gig, in a café! See that big tourbus coming with all the gear and bandmembers, no audience can get in, it's allready full then, haha! We'll see, should be fun too.
pics will follow soon, I hope, the computer is not working properly all the time....Glad I got this review on.

I usually end it by crowd surfing myself....and then urinating. This puts a damper on the whole thing. Then in the mosh pits, I knock everybody out and scream, "Dis eez MY pit azz-oles!!!" That stops too and we all go back to enjoying a wonderful show! Although at Damage Plan, I think I just upset the kids. Hey, hard lessons. g |

Hey Kids65,
Unfortunately there are stupid people all over the world, including the U.S... and I really wish they would stop breeding at such an alarming rate. Later reports confirm that she was an innocent bystander who was struck by a pepper spray bullet through the eye. Not that it makes the tragedy any less. As much as I really enjoy sports, you'll never catch me in the middle of a riot after a major victory turning over cars, setting fires, breaking out business store windows, or having a shootout with a fan of the rival team. Why people think this is reason or excuse enough to behave this way proves their stupidity. Get a life people!
You'll also never catch me crowd surfing or in the mosh pit at a concert. I'm there to check out the band, not act like a cardholding member of the World Wrestling Federation (sorry gREG! LOL!)... How did those stupid habits get started anyway? Do those people even LIKE music????
Yo King Edward...Glad to see that you got the computer bugs worked out (again!). Thanky, thanky!!

I saw Eric & Rick yesterday and they are both very much still alive and well. Eric is still without a kumpewtr. The guys are playing here in Daytona during Biketober fest and they are playing right in the center of all the action. There are about a jillion tricked out bikes rumbling non-stop. Large hootered babes abound too!
While the guys were taking a break, I started to wonder around. I walked across the street and then heard a nasty sounding slide guitar. I went to check it out and it was Eric Sardinas going at it. I hung out there and bought a cd from him after he ended his set.
Well, it`s time for me to head on out for day two. Oh yeah, Eric & Rick both say "Hi!" and they also let me know that they`ll be doin the mid December gig with PT in nearby Ft.Lauderdale.

Damn -- I thought I had saved the last post before the website had a hitch in its connectagezoink, but I guess not. uh . . .
I was gonna say that gREG WAS actually in Europe, Snorkels! He was dressed in African garb with a wig on -- he looked just like TM Stevens! It's amazing what they can do with makeup these days. If you look closely at the photos, you can see the roadie standing behind him (under the same gown) and playing bass. gREG's arms are conspicuously missing from the photos, and one can only guess where they might be. Up his tutu, maybe? Confuscious say, "Man who go to bed with itchy butt wake up with smelly finger." ahem
so what you're saying, Rod, is that at Anaheim (if it is a TNA gig) we'll have gREG standing up front wearing only a TNA eye patch over the groin area??? DAMN, and I was gonna go . . . I don't think I would want him standing behind me, but I don't think I would want to see the view standing behind him either. And no, Nair would definately not help! ya hairy bastard ya
MAN those pictures are trippy! TM's Shaka Zulu thing is way out there, if you ask me and I know you didn't. It will be great to see Tony Franklin again -- haven't seen him since he Firm in 85 and 86 -- The Forum and Irvine Amphitheater. Steve, Ed, were you guys there? He's one of my favorite bass players, and was instrumental (ah-HYUK) in my move to a fretless bass a few years ago. Call me a hack if you must, but I play the damned thing pretty effing well thank you. I broke into "Closer," "Make or Break," Radioactive" and "Live in Peace" at band practice last week. Just happened to remember most of the lyrics. I do a fair cover of Paul Rodgers . . . I said FAIR. BTW, my next gig is November 13. Nobody close enough to come, I don't think, but if you are lemme know. And yet I digress. The SEG on Pat's face tells it all! He's having the time of his life! Carmine with the wig on (or is that gREG) is a crackup! I actually wrote about gREG wearing the eye patch before I saw the pics -- who knew?? funny. I got to meet Carmine at the Coach House, so am really looking forward to meeting Tony. Life just gets cooler, don't it!
Sorry gREG, but Seahawks eat Cardinals for lunch. My home number is 619 298 0804 -- feel free to call and give me heck if you guys manage to score! I'll bring yer number home so I can talk smack too. Guess I've used up my quota of alphanumeric characters -- time to get a little work done, go to an afternoon party and have a ripping (hack) band practice tonight! see ya folks
Oh yeah, one last thing. Kids, sorry to report that Layne Staley, former singer for Alice in Chains, overdosed on heroin a few of years ago. Fortunately for lovers of their music, Jerry Cantrell still tours pretty regularly. Go buy his "Boggy Depot", and Layne's Mad Season solo band -- don't have the name of the cd here at the office, but it's the only one they did. It's kinda like buying new AIC, so will help heal ya when you hear the news. Do not accidentally buy Matchbox 20's "Mad Season" -- that definately ain't it. This reminds me, I heard a band called Future Leaders of the World the other day. If anyone is jonesing for Nirvana since Kurt Cobain's tragic run-in with a shotgun, you will love it. It sounds like the album they might have recorded if he had not loaded the gun that day . . . sorry to end on a downer but listen to it and you'll feel better. okaybye |

I think Mad Season's cd is called "Down" and don't forget Cantrell's "Degradation Trip!" You will not be disappointed!
AIC was/is great. I have "Jar of Flies" in the cd player in the truck now, with "Dirt" on the seat.
Did anyone do a tribute to Layne like the "Temple Of The Dog" tribute to/for "Mother Love Bone" singer?

Hey "Big Pipe",
Sounds like you need to clean up yer truck! You've got a jar of flies in yer CD player and dirt on yer seats! You slob! Go wash up that truck right now! That ain't no way for a cowboy to treat his mechanical horse....I thought you Texans were smarter than that?
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk......"Degradation Trip" does indeed rock. (Especially the rare version, huh Jimbo?) Shhhhhh.....
Randal, I was thinkin' the same thing about that big ol' smile (or as you put it, SEG) on Pat's face. I've seen him grin a lot, but never to a point where he looks like he's bustin' a gut over something. Good to see that. Apparently things are going very well on the tour!

Rockpig, your argument is quite right.
I know that even in U.S. several squarehead guys
wanna show people how tough they are, but I
didn't know that football or baseball stadiums
were frequented by hooligans.
By the way these guys are strong an' brave when
they're joining to their gangs -for example knifin'to dead poor people from their behind- but they're often like chickens when you catch'em alone.
Hey Randall, Sorry for Stanley. AIC were a nine days' wonder. I did love their music but not likewise about NIRVANA, that played punk and not a
technichal hard rock.
Anyway I think that drugs' use must be controlled,
like Rolling Stones did for long time, otherwise
it definitely leads to dead. |

Looks like i will have to rephrase my statement from my review.
Quote:They are having fun.
What i meant to say is THEY ARE HAVING FUN!!!!
I haven't seen Pat smile and laugh on stage (actually off stage as well) that much either. I believe it is due to him not having to carry the total load on vocals. It gives him more free space to enjoy what is happening around him. Also he has a big professional road crew and a driver who know their business. I remember a driver they had who didn't even know where the next show was. So Pat had to tell the guy where to go and read the map for him. The crew is taking good care of merchandise and sales as well. Therefore i think Pat is totaly relaxed and just simply enjoying.

Hey Kids...Yes, I know it was drugs and I am pretty sure it was heroin that did in Andrew Wood, singer for Mother Love Bone, the band that Pearl Jam grew out of. Gossard and Ament were both in MLB as well. Very, very influential band for the likes of the Pearl Jams, Soundgardens, and probably AIC. MLB is a little spacier than the harder AIC and Soundgarden, but funky and fun and musically diverse and interesting.
I am NOT an opponent of drugs. I AM a proponent of common sense and moderation. I want all my friends and musical genii (plural of genius!) to leave this world when they are called, not when they overdose. With that, RIP Layne, Andrew, Jimi, Bon (I know...), and any and everybody else we have lost.
On that, how in the hell did Ozzy survive!? Or Keith Richards!!? Dayum! They must be bulletproof!!

Randall,
Saw The Firm twice in the SF Bay Area, in Oakland and Concord. I hadn't yet moved down to La La Land. I also saw Tony play with Paul Rogers at the Troubadour here in LA, with Reeves Gabrels (ex-Bowie) on guitar, and Tony Thompson on drums. That was one rockin' gig! They did some Free & Bad Co, plus Hendrix & blues covers. Tony is definitely a great bass player! I hope he's playing with Pat in Anaheim, and I hope I make it there!

Saw Van Halen on Friday night in Seattle. Saw them before many years ago with both DLR and Sammy, I thought the Sammy version was much better.....just sounded better. On Friday night they left nothing undone. A pure rocknroll night, with a few Sammy tumnes in there too. These guys have lost NOTHING, and it was about time they got back with the Red Rocker. Seachickens returning to old form, perhaps another 8-8 season on the way? Peace............ |

Hey Coolhvacman,
Be glad you saw such a good VH performance. The tour has been seriously plagued, and that's why I chose not to go to the Seattle show. Past reports of spotty shows, bad Edward performances, and recently Edward firing all of Sammy's crew members led me to the decision to avoid this show. I saw VH on every tour from VH 2 through OU812 as well as the VH3 tour in '98 with Cherone and as remarkable as all of those were, I didn't want to tarnish my memory with the chance of a bad performance on what might possibly be their last tour...ever. Edward's been in a bad way for some time now, and he seems to have gone off the deep end lately. As one of my all-time favorite guitarists, this really bums me out. See the report below for a late update from just this morning.
By the way...My favorite VH tour was "1984" and I also believe Gary Cherone never got a fair break. That tour was overlooked, but they dug out some old early VH songs that Sammy would never sing, and to hear someone who could actually sing (Cherone) those old songs (Mean Streets & Hot For Teacher were unbelieveable!) instead of yelping them (Roth) sure took them up a notch to another level! That '98 tour with Cherone was remarkable. On the flip side, that VH3 album really stunk! Explains why that tour was a dud from every other standpoint. Still, I'm glad I caught it.
ANOTHER END OF THE ROAD FOR VAN HALEN?:
The world of Van Halen is a fickle thing and the band have never been far from a headline. The guys are currently working their way through their last weeks of 2004 tour dates - shows that some never thought would happen. But they did, after the feud between vocalist Sammy Hagar and the Van Halen brothers was laid to rest earlier in the year. The guys finally hit the road again on the back of a new compilation that featured 3 new tracks.
There have been numerous reports of problems within the band and just as many reports of Eddie Van Halen drunk on stage. Rumors flared again last week after Hagar appeared on US radio station KSHE, stating in an interview that he thought the Van Halen re-union was fun, but it bought closure to that chapter. He went on to voice his unhappiness with the high ticket prices from the tour and how he wished some members of the band were into fan interaction as much as he was. It was implied that once the current dates were completed, Hagar would return to touring with The Warboritas and the future of VH would again be up in the air. What really is going on? What's next for Van Halen? The reality is that at this point - no one knows. But I for one am not hopeful of anything continuing once this leg of the 2004 tour concludes. Everything I am hearing from my sources - past, proven sources that have all contributed to past Van Halen reports - is negative. Everything I hear points to a band that is managing to function despite inner turmoil. And it seems all that turmoil is centered around Eddie Van Halen.
It is no secret that Eddie is drinking heavily and has been since the start of the tour - that drinking and his subsequent behavior has put a major strain on relationships within the VH organization. As one source put it - Eddie is "unstable". As a result, there are no band commitments planned past next month. Sammy Hagar is planning to tour with his solo band The Warboritas and could be playing solo as early as December, with further plans being made for summer 2005. Apparently Hagar did not want the re-union to play out as it has, but would rather return to being a solo artist than tour with Van Halen under current circumstances. I am told there are no 2005 tour plans and no album plans. All will become a little clearer once the tour concludes next month. To sum up, everything I have heard points towards confirming what Sammy Hagar said on KSHE-FM last week. Once this tour is done, another chapter of the Van Halen history will close with it.

So, I never saw them live, except on the DVD. Have seen Hagar after the split and he was amazing! It must be like seeing that GREAT movie 10/15 years ago and then seeing it again today and thinking what the hell was so great about this movie???

Do you think Ashlee Simpson will be lip syncing in porn like she does with her music? Nyuk, nyuk.... Man, that episode of her on Saturday Night Live this weekend sure brought back the Milli Vanilli flashbacks! And then she had the balls (It Takes A Lot Of Balls! There's my PT tie in!) to say it was her band's fault because they started the wrong song? Does she think most of the public is as stupid as she is???
Seeing some rave reviews on the current UFO tour. Sure hope they make it up to Seattle! Sure hope Zepagain gets up here too, Steve!
Speaking of Seattle, if Queensryche are coming anywhere near your town soon, go check 'em out! They do an almost 1 hour set of their hits, then take a 20-25 minute intermission, then come out with Operation:Mindcrime in full, with stage props, actors, updated video, etc. then a preview of their new upcoming sequel to Operation:Mindcrime. Initial reviews have been very good, and the two sold out shows in Seattle was very impressive!

You should seriously considering writing a column. Call it THe Rockpig Report, you could cover the seedier, titilating aspects that we all want to know. Sign me up as your first subscriber.
In fact Rockpig I was thinking of you earlier in the day. I was traveling along in the company Taurus listening to Nickelback's The Long Road. I'm not sure if you are familiar with this CD or not, but anyway's as the final track - 11 eases in - I'm struck with a thought - a revealtion if you will. These guys (Nickelback) are doing a fine job or carrying on the ROCKPIG tradition, that dragged the likes of me in you into its hedonistic clutches.
It's a great day in rock'n'roll knowing their is still young heterosexual man, that play loud guitars and who's first priority is to drag the attractive woman that attend their shows on to the tour bus. Amen brother. |

Plan for tomorrow: Best Buy for TNA & Page/Plant Unledded DVD ($11.99 on sale). Hopefully, they will actually HAVE TNA in stock! Then, annoy the co-workers with a little TNA in the afternoon, and settle down in the evening for the Page/Plant viewing!
UFO also at HoB Hollywood on 11/15, I'll be there! Gotta try & meet Mr Bonham Jr!
I saw VH every tour with Roth back in the day. They were unstoppable and untouchable! Sure, Dave was Dave, and not exactly the greatest of vocalists, but it didn't matter. There was such a vibe with those 4 guys onstage. Never quite the same with Sammy, although technically, they became a much more polished live band. Didn't see the Cherone tour, or the current one, unfortunately. I do really hope Ed keeps it together. I mean, the guy REVOLUTIONIZED rock guitar! I hear he's been phenominal at some of the shows this year.

Hello there!
Next review.....we're still floating...
It was fu..ing great again. It was in a small club (PTB played there a few months ago), hot and crowdy. But very nice!
We were early again, easy in a open café, and the soundcheck was already kicking! There were some difficulties with the sound, cause the home sound system is not in the middle, but on the side.
The club was crowded when the Lizards began, man, they are a great band, very own style, and heavy!
The people liked it very much and hopefully they will return as a headliner.
Then, after the drumkits were switched, TnA came up and blew us away, as we all know PT uses a little volume....haha.
There were still some troubles with the home sound system so now and then, but they didn't make trouble about that, PT came up with some very good solo's you otherwise will never hear. So we were glad about that!
Carmine had some trouble with his own kit and mic, but the roadies did a good job and solved everything, the band had even more laughs about this all. Also Tony, what a change in a few day's! Last thursday, he joined the band just two day's and was serious busy with learning all the notes from a book in front of him on stage. But this time, he didn't need that anymore and was going crazy! Dancing and shaking all over, completely nuts, very funny!
Then during Carmine's solo, he came into the crowd to check if everybody was singing along with him, haha. On his way back, he threw his drumsticks on the stagefloor, nothing happened. Then the roadie did the same, and the stick bounced back. That was the trick wich Carmine failed at....ooops, haha. Carmine laughed and had serious fun.
Anyway, everybody had a good time, and the music was great. It rocks heavy and steady, all you, buy that TnA CD!!
After the show they took their time for pics and signing, very relaxed.
Something else, we spoke to Jan Akkerman last friday about Carmine, who is an old friend of him, but they haven't seen each other for a long time. (in 1973 they recorded the LP Tabernakel together, and Tim Bogert too). We told Jan where Carmine was playing this sunday. He wanted to come! So we arranged with the owner of the café that Jan was coming, but it had to be a surprise for Carmine. Well, Jan came and Carmine was very pleased to see his old time buddy again! We felt very happy about this, if you can imagine. They have spoken a long time together, so thats good!
But every party has to end, and we said goodbye. Always sad, but we are happy. We have seen TnA two times and The Lizards too. They are all great musicians and very nice persons as well, also the crew who surrounds them. So thanx to them all for the fantastic time!!
Pics will follow later on, filmuser too....

Great review Snorks! I'd venture to say that the tour was a smashing success! I really liked to Jan Akkerman Carmine reunion story.
Next time Pat plays here in Seattle, I'm gonna try to hook him up with Michael Shrieve. Michael played on the "Crash & Burn" release, and currently has a little bar here in Seattle called Tost that features interesting little fusion bands from time to time. My best friend's fiance is friends with Michael's wife (or ex-wife) so making that contact should be pretty easy.
Hey Zepfanus, don't hold your breath to see Pete Way. It's well documented that he had visa issues and will not be able to do the U.S. tour. His replacement is Barry Sparks, who's done some time with Dokken and the Jeff Kollman Band. Jeff was guitarist for Mogg's side project Sign Of 4.

gREG,
I didn't see it last nite but I heard about the
dip Simpson actually did it "live" That SNL thing
was so embarassing to watch. It showed her
lack of character, for sure. And to blame the band. I can't wait until the 15 minutes of fame
end and she's begging for attention like a lot of the rappers and all other no talents out there.
gREG, now look what you started. Now I'm ranting! |

gREG,
Dude, I can barely pull my own string (don't read too much into that comment!) and I really wouldn't want to tarnish PT's reputation and water down his talent by putting him on a show with a bunch of hack low talent lip syncing wannabes...I like Mudd's analogy...these people can't even carry PT's guitar case!
Toast...You REALLY wouldn't want me for president! I am neither hardcore Democrat nor Republican...I think the extremes at both ends are very dangerous to our society, and that seems to be the way both of the major parties are leaning. Is nobody moderate anymore? Why does each side insist on it being their way or the highway? The policies I would implement IMMEDIATELY would absolutely freak people right out of their skins! But I do promise a PT tune would be placed right under our National Anthem! And all lip syncing "artists" would be shot or deported!
On a serious note...Has anyone heard from Takashi, our PT friend from Japan? All those earthquakes they've had recently causes me concern with one of our PT Family members...
Off to pick up my copy of TNA today!
I am Rockpig, and I approve of this message! |

Hey all you Hammerheads,
I've done some on-line searching and besides Amazon.com , Tower Records & Barnes & Noble both list TNA in the data base as available for shipping. Tower has it for $15.99 with low in-stock, and Barnes & Noble has it for $16.98 with shipping within 2-3 days.
Here's another option...Go to your independent neighborhood record store and tell them that you'd like to support THEM instead of the big conglomerates and I can almost promise you they will do all that they can to get the CD for you ASAP!
Tell them the CD is on Steamhammer/SPV Records. That might help speed things up. This will help you to get the TNA CD & the little guy running the Mom & Pop record store trying to survive against the big corporations. This was exactly what I did, and I had no problems getting the CD. Best of luck with your hunt, and thanks for going the extra mile trying to purchase it somewhere "legit" so that Pat & Carmine get the proper sales credit. I'm sure they greatly appreciate it! PT fans are THE BEST!
Hey Toast....I forgot to tell you that part of my "presidential plan" was for us to take over Canada, and send all of you Canucks packing to France! I bet THAT got your attention! LOL! Just kidding, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to mess with yer head a bit....

Did you guys catch A. Simpson on the Today Show with Katie Couric this morning? If you missed it, you can see it on video at MSNBC.com .
Simpson now blames it on acid reflux that hit at 6:00, just before showtime, so she was force into using "backing tracks" by her Daddy/Manager and that (GASP!) she had NEVER before done anything like "voice over tracking" (see lip syncing!)....Um hum......right. THE GIRL IS A TOTAL IDIOT.

Hi all, heard that the first issue TNA has sold well and second round is in production. So keep asking for it. I'm shure there will be enough in supply soon again. Sorry, but it seems Europe got hold of too many copies, so stock was low for the U.S. I already bought 4 copies myself.

Got the last copy at Tower Records Torrance, CA.
It was almost as if they saved it for me.....
Sittin' right there in the front of the Travers bin - smirkin' and smilin' at me as I trepiditiously walked in half expecting that I was going to have to visit a few stores.
But I breezed by the Zeppelin bin and SNATCHED UP my No Quarter Unledded then proceed to the Travers section and BAM! there is was!
Now I'm happier than a pig in slop! |

Hey Travelers... only the third time thru for me....
Carmine is simply AMAZING.
TM is brass, bold and pretty darned wild.
Uriah is rock solid and funky!
And Pat is, well... Pat. Nobody even comes close. I love his "laid it down" live style. His vocals are top notch and that Guitar is smokin'!
This CD has it all.

WOW! I just got my Ashlee Simpson kicked! brain juice all over the walls. 13 whole new songs featuring bad ass Pat Travers and company -- and WHAT company! Can't wait to see this lineup with my own eyes.
WHEW! man that's rockin'
I also picked up Tom Waits' new CD, Real Gone. Noticed on the liner notes that Les Claypool plays on 3 songs, and Tom's son Casey plays drums on most and turntables on one. That's way cool! AND I bought Robert Plant's Principle of Moments, since we're toying around with "Big Log," and noticed that he put out "Dreamland" in '02 so I bought that too. Rounded out the purchase with the new Godsmack - spaced on the LZ DVD.
Now I have to figure out which one to play after getting blasted by TNA!!! Better go down easy with TW . . . g'night, "Richard" |

I did the new RP first -- good idea
Tom Waits will scramble my already blown-out brains enough to put 'em back where they were, just in time for another listen to TNA before closin' time. Yeah I'm workin' late! so what?? heading for NYC Thursday morning, so I gotta git stuff done. Only time to catch a late show (I put in for tix to The Late Show) after our event Friday. Might try to catch a rock show about 11, but Ima gettin' on a plane back at 8am -- in Newark! Maybe not. . . just don't tell me TW or David Johansen are in town |

Holy smokes!
What a day yesterday....
First T-N-A then UnLedded!
Both are fantastic!!!
The No Quarter DVD is probably one of the best DVDs I've ever seen! I think I like it even more then How The West Was Won.
Jimmy's got more guitars than Carter's got pills!
And you gotta love the Hurdy Gurdy!!! I have never seen a Hurdy Gurdy being played before. Looks freakin' complicated!
Best songs (IMO):
Since I've Been Loving You
Gallows Pole
When The Levee Breaks
In the visual dept - No Quarter - unbelievable simply unbelievable
I have to say that I never realized how much I liked LZ until I started going to Zepagain shows... I know, I know... I'm a rock and roll heretic and prehaps a little bit guilty of rock and roll snobbery. But I've been saved! Good lord almighty I've been saved!!!
You guys really should see this DVD.....
Plant/Page and Lennon/McCartney we're living in some wonderful times...
just don't turn on the news! LOL!
P.S. Hey Steve... any chance Ms. M and myself can request Since I've Been Loving You tonight in Pico Rivera??? |

Well, I struck out twice yesterday on TNT! Tower in Marina Del Rey had gotten one copy in, and it had already sold. The guy stocking the new stuff totally remembered seeing it, said you couldn't forget a name like, "It Takes a Lot of Balls!" But it was nowhere to be found.
Too busy today & tonight, so it will have to wait till Thurs now.
But yes, the No Quarter DVD rocks! It's been totally remixed from the original version, and sounds fantastic! Ed, did ya check out that new version of Black Dog in the extras? Very cool!
We'll try to get your request in for ya, see you tonight!

Wow, haven't heard from you around here for a long time, Cindy! Great to hear from you, and hope everything is going good for you after your move. Do you miss us in the Vancouver/Seattle area? Do you miss the warmer winter climate? I bet you do!
I knew you'd have no trouble sniffing out the new TNA release! Ha! Doesn't matter if you got it at a big conglomerate or a private independant record shop, so long as it was a legit sale and PT gets his share! Sure sounds like everybody is really diggin' the rockin' direction the CD took instead of the blues stuff that's been done for so long....Hope PT and Mike Varney make a note of it! Let's get Eric & Rick in the studio with ol' PT and get that OTHER ROCK CD out there......

Hi Rockpig
I really miss Vancouver/Seattle big time, didn't think I would miss it this much, but the west coast sure has a lot to miss ....haven't had a chance to go and visit yet, but hoping to soon. Calgary just doesn't feel like home yet. Being able to have the option go to Seattle for concerts, miss that! You never know what the future will bring or where I will consider moving next, some possibilities......Warmer climate, what's that again? freakin' white stuff already landed a week or so ago....Still in shock I was able to get T-N-A, thought I would be having to order through the mail.....sure happy I am in the only person in the office the next couple of days so I can crank up my new cd's all day!
T-N-A released now......good time for a chat session sunday? |

Hey Randall, Rockpig,jbeseau and the other guys.
Think over that:tracks like COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN by lED ZEP, MIDNIGHT RAMBLER by Stones,
HEAT IN THE STREET by PT -I've mentioned a few
among a lotta masterpieces- are definitely music
evergreen. When you hear those tracks there's
nothing to stop you from supposing that they should have been recorded just this morning.
So don't trouble yorself talkin' about some characters, that's just a waste of time, 'cos
they're gonna fall into oblivion.

Excellent Idea! This is precisely what we did. We bought ours from Scrape Records, a store specializing hard rock & metal. They boast as proud to be the only metal and hard rock specialty store in the Pacific Northwest. They also have an online store, check em' out. They even had it in stock the day it was released & were playing it in the store player too. Cool! While we were there we also picked up UFO's 2004 'You Are Here' & UDO's 2004 Thunderball release as well as a concert DVD of UDO's Nailed to Metal. Also bought tickets to a cd release party & comeback tour for Kick Axe(anyone remember them?, its their first studio release since the late 80's). One stop rockn'roll shopping & an Ashley Simpson free zone too!
Gotta love the mom & pop shops! |

hey Badger, a hearty AMEN about Scrape Records.
I actually got my TNA through them via eBay. Won the bid back in early Oct, got it last Monday.
They apparently sold it without having it in stock because when I emailed them after two weeks about when I should expect it they said something about not realizing what the release date was.
anyhow....seem like good folks |

Oh boy! Here in Italy priests are still hangry with young boys who celebrate Halloween.
Are we in the 21st century or what?
May those guys have some fun without
