Conference napalm::heavy_metal

I hate this band.  Don't get me wrong, their music's fine.  They cancelled on
the morning of a show in Montreal because of "tax problems".  Nothing like
waiting until the last minute. I'd gotten the day off from work, even got that
funny colored Candadian money.  Had to exchange it back and lost 5% each way.

This was their spaceship tour.

    You will never convince me that "Fire on High" is NOT "Heavy Metal"
    done with string instruments instead of guitars and Marshalls.
    
    Duh-dah duh-dut dut dut dut dah-dut...

    ELO?  Okay, mods, we're going way over board here.  Is there not enough
    talent nowadays that we have to resort to THIS?

    Tim, what exactly do you mean 'funny colored Canadian money'? ;^)

Looks like it escaped from a monopoly game

    Except it's not worth as much!

    I've seen ELO twice live and left early both times (they were the
    second band on the billing).   I found them really listless live
    especially when they played after Kansas on tour two summers ago.

    Geez...Now I really regret starting this topic....
    
    I guess we SHOULD stick to more of a " Metal " theme....I'm sorry.
    
    I just thought that since ABBA, Prince, & some other non-metalists
    were in here, I might as well add E.L.O..... Oh well...

    You might as well. Some of the older farts might appreciate such a fine
    topic. Hahahahahahahah!

    Spanks!!!

    I deleted note # 11...'cause I thought it was a kinda harsh thing to
    say....BUT....since you didn't seem to take offense....
    
          You ARE a cruel person....;-)   hee hee

    Haven't you seen some of the notes from the clowns I work with.  I
    cannot be offended....just watch out for the mods.

    Regarding "sticking to metal"...
    
    I think some of you may have forgotten or never been aware of some of 
    the history of this file.
    
    It was started partially because Metal fans were getting blasted by
    by folks in the MUSIC notesfile.   I think this notesfile started out
    partially as a "refuge" from folks putting down H_M in the MUSIC
    conference.
    
    Ultimately, *I* came to think of this file as the "real" MUSIC
    notesfile where you could talk about any kind of music without
    getting overly abused for it (of course, we do our share of
    lighthearted abuse...).

    p.s. There still is a MUSIC notesfile, but its half-dead.  About
         1/20th of the activity H_M gets.  

I agree with Dave.  I know more people in this notesfile than anywhere else.  I
don't always agree with opinions in here but I have learned about some pretty
good stuff from reading recommendations in here.

I remember Bob Mercier talking about Rage Against the Machine a long time before
any radio station dared play them.

    Somehow the "your music isn't as good as mine" type stuff in here just
    seems to have a whole lot less of an edge behind it than what went
    on in the MUSIC notesfile.

    Don't forget that the formation of EHM (from the infamous "cookster")
    was started because he didn't like hearing about bands like ELO
    in here...  Thats when we fired his ass from moderator-ship.

    	Someone is showing their age...

    	What the heck is the drummer's name, he helped out Black Sabbath
    	when Bill Ward had cancer and couldn't go on tour.

    	This is a test, name the ELO drummer, and the Black Sabbath
    	album and tour. A correct answer will instantly prove you're more
    	than 30 yrs old.

    	That was the year when they found Carmine Appice's little brother,
    	Vinnie, who had just recorded on a solo LP with Rick Derringer.
    
    	Black Sabbath then recorded Mob Rules with Vinnie on drums.

Not the guy who drummed for Rainbow is it?  Cozy Powell?

    
    nope.....damn,I know this one(I'm only 29...honest!)

    	Come on now, I'll give you a hint, it was the heaven & hell
    	record with Bill Ward.
    
    	The ELO drummer's initials are B.B.
    
    	Name the drummer and the year...

    
    wasn't it something like Biff Bruford?
    
    						ian

Bill Buckley?

    
    barnacle bill 1847?
    
    						ian

    
    btw...I have a few ELO lp's in my mums house.I liked their stuff a lot
    when I was a lad!
    
    
    						ian

    	Biff Bruford? Now THAT'S funny, I'm in a YES tribute band, can't
    	wait to tell 'em about that one...
    
    	Barnacle Bill? naw, he was a sailor...
    
    	It was *Bev Bevan*
    
    	I'd say ELO was a part of Rock & Roll history, Metal has its
    	roots in R&R...
    
    	As for Cozy Powell, yes, he toured with Sabbath 4-5 years ago,
    	I saw them at the Orpheum in Boston. Geezer Butler was there.
    
    	Cozy is amazing, he was the original drummer for Rainbow, he's
    	played with ELP, Emerson, Lake & Powell (Imagine trying to fill
    	Carl Palmer's shoes), played with Black Sabbath, recorded solo
    	LP's with Gary Moore on guitar, some of the most smokin' guitar
    	solos I've ever heard from Gary...
    

I think he also drummed in MSG (Michael Schenker Group)  See note 860 for
details.

    
    Bev Bevan...that was it!
