Well, it just goes to prove that you can spend all the money in the world on talent, and it doesn't necessarily mean shit. The Eagles look like third rate wannabes. The defense looks like complete garbage, and that was supposed to be the best evah... not. Not just poor, but disgustingly poor. Bleagh.

Stampede have recently been in the studio recording a special remake of SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT, a track which was an old favourite and always a mainstay of their live set. The track is now available to download for free exclusively from the band's official Facebook page, and will be available for a limited time only. The band announce news of the free download just as they kick off a series of live dates with US rockers Y&T, in support of their new album 'A Sudden Impulse', released in May this year on Rock Candy Records. Although originally recorded live, both for a BBC In Concert session and at Reading Rock Festival in 1982 for the live Official Bootleg album, up until now Stampede had never recorded a studio version of the song. "We wanted to do something to say a big thank you to our fans and to all the people that have supported us this year with the release of our new album 'A Sudden Impulse'", states vocalist Reuben Archer. "Shadows of the Night has always been a real favourite of ours so we thought it would be great to do a studio version to give to our fans".

Rays opening up a can o' Whup-Ass on the Rangers tonight... yeesh!

Yep. Two wildcard races tied on the last day of the season, and BOTH result in the #1 and #2 collapses of all time (Boston was 9 games up on the Rays at the beginning of September, and the Braves were 8.5 games up on the Cardinals). Nothing gives me warmer fuzzies than watching the Braves die a slow horrific death... expect maybe when the Phillies did it to the Mets a few years ago.

Of this year's nominees, I went with Heart. Easily one of the most influential if not the most influential female-fronted bands ever. The fact that Rush is not in the HoF (are they somehow ineligible because they're Canadian?) makes the entire thing a joke. Sheer musicianship alone, regardless if you like their style or not, should have had them in years ago.

No shit. Great lateral, but the whole thing should have been null and void.

I'm diggin' what I'm hearing from all 3 of these initially. Issa - The Storm: http://www.heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/glamcd.cgi?BandNum=5458&CDName=The%20Storm Kimball Jamison: http://www.heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/glamcd.cgi?BandNum=5995&CDName=Kimball%20Jamison Fergie Frederiksen: http://www.heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/glamcd.cgi?BandNum=1404&CDName=Happiness%20Is%20the%20Road

Do tell. Any particular reason given for the change?

Well, I received a call from Bernd at Connecting-Music and I think we have things straightened out. Bernd apologized for the harshness of the email. It seems that Davy woke him up in the middle of the night (the voicemail Davy left me was about 4:00 in the morning as well). The Vain samples will not be put up again, since Davy does not want anyone to hear the album before it is actually released. Whatever. I'm not sure what the point of advance promotions is then, but it's not worth arguing about. Note to labels, musicians, promoters, etc.: If you don't want outlets to put out any snippets of songs to the public for a particular release, you probably should actually let them know this. I can't speak for anyone else, but personally my mindreading skills suck.

I just posted this over at MR in reply to someone referring to the Vain sound samples at HH, which I have now removed:

Damn. Reading the subject line, for a sec I thought someone reported that Geoff died...

I picked this up on Friday. Like most of the other "WalMart Exclusives", the bang for the buck is phenomenal... 2 CDs + DVD for $11.88? Are ya kiddin' me? I've only listed to the second disc (rerecordings) thus far, and it sounds freaking phenomenal. Definitely a new vibe with some of the instrumental effects, but stylistically and vocally remain incredibly consistent with the original versions. The production/mix is top notch, and Hansen is really the perfect Gramm replacement. There are songs where you can't tell that it's NOT Gramm singing... probably a better fit/replacement than Pineda was for Perry. One of the things that is really impressive is Hansen's range. Most vocalist's ranges deteriorate with age... look at any of the classic bands that have put out anything in the last 10 years (Kansas, Styx, etc.). In virtually all cases the vocals suffer comparatively speaking, as the lead vocalist struggles to reach heights that were easy... 25 years ago. Taking things down an octave, downtuning the song 1-2 steps, using backing vocalists for the chorus instead of lead vocals, etc. Not Hansen. He sounds really good, when you consider that Gramm in his prime had a pretty high range. Definitely a must-have.

More added: Danger Avenue - Long Overdue Night Ranger - Somewhere in California Scott Rolaf - Light of Day Sebastian Bach - Kicking and Screaming Shy - S/T Skansis - Leaving You Stala and So - It Is So The Wheel - S/T Toby Hitchcock - Mercury's Down Uriah Heep - Live in Armenia Vain - Enough Rope Work of Art - In Progress XOrigin - State of the Art

Lucas is an egomaniacal douche. These audio changes are absolutely idiotic. The addition of those "No"s at the end of RotJ is second only to the long drawn out NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at the end of Revenge of the Sith in complete stupidity. It's as if Lucas WANTS these films to be turned into caricatures of themselves. Egads. -Dan

I've been watching the movies on Spike in HD, and using that as a worst-case scenario, the Blu-Rays should look excellent. I'm holding off hoping for a Black Friday deal on the complete set. -Dan

Long overdue, I'm adding a bunch of album audio samples to the main site. Since Frontiers has outsourced their U.S. promotions to a different company rather than doing it themselves, getting the promo releases in a timely manner is virtually impossible. Grr.... I've added a few tonight and will be adding some more over the course of the next week. Samples of ALL tracks from the following releases have been added: Airrace - Back to the Start Bridger - S/T Electric Boys - And Them Boys Done Swang House of Lords - Big Money Human Zoo - Eyes of the Stranger John Wetton - Raised in Captivity Jorn Lande - Live in Black http://www.heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/audio.cgi

If someone wants to email the scan to me I can make sure it gets posted...

Reading through this thread again after the dust has settled somewhat. Positive and negative firsthand reports on trades/sales is exactly what this forum is for, so no, I am not going to delete this thread. It stays. That said, the tenor seems to have calmed down a little bit, and the OP's admission that the intent was not to throw Adriano under the bus, makes it seem like the "Beware" subtitle was a bit much and might imply something to those who don't read further, so I have removed that subtitle from the thread. People will read and draw their own conclusions, both pro and con. For as much as the OP may have had or may be having issues with Adriano, there are others posting here stating positive experiences dealing with him. That's the point of this section. One bad experience does not necessarily tell the entire story. With various people stepping in and giving their perspectives, one gets a better overall picture. None of us are all good or all bad; the truth lies somewhere in the middle. -Dan

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! Could be a lock for Song of the Year!! Actually, some of the others are pretty damned good too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0DeIqJm4vM&feature=like-suggest&list=UL And the sequel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi7gwX7rjOw&feature=related

This may seem like an oddball request... if there are any board/site regulars located in Canada that have been thinking about donating to the donation drive, please contact me first. I have a request of a philatelic (stamp collecting) nature that I could use assistance with. Thanks, -Dan

Anyone else ever encounter this? A vocalist that either has annoying characteristics or isn't very good, and logically you should avoid, yet you find yourself listing anyway, either because their strong characteristics outweigh the negatives, or the other aspects of the music make it win despite the vocalist? I'm running into this right now with Rob Moratti - Victory. As with every other thing he's ever done, he sounds like a damned chipmunk, yet like all the Final Frontier material, I love it. This new album is great stuff!... but every now and then I find myself looking around the room for Alvin and Theodore...

Oh... you mean back when I posted this for Geoff the first time. http://heavyharmonies.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=27330&st=0&p=611855&hl=geoff&fromsearch=1entry611855

My understanding is that the buyer in question is not a board member, but a board member's relative. Is that not the case? There's been some uncertainty. -Dan
