        Southern Heavy_Metal?  HAH!!
    
        How many HM bands do you know that come from Knoxville,
        or Louisiana?
    
        All they produce is fiddle-playin'. 8^)

    OK, Southern folk, this topic is reserved so the Berklee grads
    can sit back and tell each other how good they are.  I guess we
    can go watch Hee Haw re-runs or chase chickens or maybe even wax
    our roto-tiller.

    I used to know this dude at Berklee named Jeff something. He was the
    lead guitarist for a metal band from Louisiana called Leroux (sp?).
    They used to have a few hits and some vids on MTV at one time...anyone
    remember? Anyway, this dude was hot! We did a recitle in the pavillion
    (FYI, its outdoors on Boylston st) and we had these marshalls just
    cranked all the way up....Boston was rockin!
    
    So, the moral of the story is there are hot metal players from the
    south up north!

    Hey Buck, you knew the guy from Leroux? He wasn't lying, ya
    know! I saw Leroux in concert at the Cape Cod Coliseum, backing
    up Foreigner (on the Foreigner 4 tour). They also had a hit
    with the song "Nicole", which is on an album I have. That song
    is a killer, and the rest of the album is pretty good too.
    Although I wouldn't call them HM, but more like hard/pop rock
    (ala .38 Special).

    re: 112.6
    
    I know this is WAY off the subject of this topic, but I just have
    to ask you..............what the heck does "ala" mean??????
    
    Someone I work with uses "that word" all the time - I don't know what
    it means - but when she uses it, it "seems" to fit in with whatever
    she's saying.

    	Hey, you guys want to know a well kept Southern secret ?  Don't
    use "Finger Ease" to make the neck on your axe slick.  Here's what
    you do.  Ya git a niace big greasy chicken wang and rub up and down
    the fretboard (is at whut ya call it ?).  Slicker'n snot on a doorknob.
    And when ye finish with it, ya can rub it behind ya ears fur like a
    poultry cologne, then ya eat it.  Make sure ya wash ya hands, ya
    never kin telll whur that GIT-tar's been.

    I remember reading somewhere that Berklee was going to start offering
classes specifically for HM playing/performing.

    re.3
           This sothern boy would expect as much from someone that 
    would critize LED ZEP.
           Let us not forget one of Rock and Roll's main influences.
    A southern guy by the name of Elivs Presley.
    
    ps.Read "Hammer of the Gods" Bio of Led Zep. See who Page/Plant
       idolize!
    

    
    	HM at Bezerklee???  When I was there, any guitarist caught playing
    	anything but jazz would be labeled a "Rock Idiot" and banished
    	forever riding the elevator that only stopped on the odd floors.

        The bassist for Vixen is a Berzerklee grad.

    So this school does have 1 good-looking grad.....but the band is
    not worth .02!

         I went out to Boston once...in quest of seeing and planning
    to goto BERKLEE.  I was right out of high school on a massive
    trip with two other friends/musicians of mine.  We all of
    a sudden  wanted to go to BERKLEE. So we saved money and took
    a flight from COLORADO SPRINGS to BOSTON. Well to make a long
    story short:  Both of my friends wimped out after two weeks
    and wanted to go home. I went with them which is one of my
    greatest regets in life!  It was two weeks of musical heaven
    and I wish to visit again and see about going there again...
    
    
    
                        But just like everything dreams can fade 
    and things put off for money and other responsiblities.

    Yo Friz!
    
    If you wanna go and you can get in, then GO FOR IT!!!
    
    You may not have the chance later and it really sucks going through
    life with regrets about decisions you made when you were younger!  The
    responsibility stuff only gets worse the longer you wait.  Education is
    one of the best things you can do for yourself.

                                CLASS OF '69
    
         Went to Berklee in 1969, it was like being on top of the world,
    music 24 hours a day, the teachers were some of the best Jazz Musicians
    on this planet, and the trainning was INTENSE, they definately bring
    out the best in you, no matter what TYPE of music you're into!!!!!!
         Found that MONEY was the key word at Berklee, if you had the bucks
    you'd make it through no matter what.
         I lived in the Dorm on Hemingway Street, which was quite the
    place, lived on Tang, morning, noon and night, lotsa jamming, lotsa
    parties, lotsa music.
         While I was there, my close freind was out in Vietnam, he was a
    Bass player and I'd send him letters telling him how incredible Berklee
    was and also send him whatever new Beatle Albums were out!
         The funny part was that I was always a Beatles fan, and most of
    the students there would laugh at me whenever I'd talk about the
    Beatles, and then............"ABBEY ROAD" came out and everyone  in the
    entire Dormatory would be playing the album 24 hours a day! You just
    can't beat magic, and that's just what music should be, not just tech-
    nical.
         Anyhow, I wound up dropping out of Berklee cause my Sweetheart
    wound up with child and had to make a choice, but got everything I
    could from the COLLEGE for a whole year.
         My friend came back from NAM, went to Berklee, graduated and wound
    up teaching there.  We're back together in a band called
    "R-E-V-O-L-V-E-R"  and he said teaching there sucked, he's a great Bass
    player but travels out here to the Worcester area just to play in a
    band that at one time did nothing but Beatles tunes, and now we're
    getting into more diverse material like, Van Morrison' "Moondance",
    Gary Moore's "Still Got The Blues", Instumentals by Carlos Santana and 
    some of the better stuff from the Golden Era of Rock, the '60's.
         All I can say is that Berklee gave me the knowledge that I need to
    learn the stuff we're doin' and I definate haven't regretted ever going
    there, and if you've got the opportunity, DON'T PASS IT UP!
    
                                                   Music Is The Force!
    
                                                        Storm'N.

    Could someone post the address of Berklee please?
    
    And a question - how does it compare with the Musicians Institute in
    Hollywood, for example?
