Pete S.: into the void(((standing on the ledge)..............on the ledge?

David: So we're expecting a few CD's in the next week or so - HTP Live, Alchemist and the "Best Of" (although nothing new on that one...)...

Shirean: via Roberto http://www.legends-of-rock.com/

Pete S.: is this a link?

David: should keep us busy 'til October!!

David: yes that link works - although there's not much to it right now...

Pete S.: yes a good follow up after the gig

Shirean: http://www.legends-of-rock.com/

Pete S.: thanks shirean

Shirean: Looks like they are still working on it

Pete S.: that'll be great....have to save up!!!!

David: Don't know who booked that tour....but talk about a zig-zag schedule - they're going up and down the country almost daily!!

Pete S.: hey guys ...i thought on the....ledge was the key track on htp.....so live?

David: I should think so....I think it would be a mistake not to play almost the whole album, especially for the UK shows....

David: My current fave is "Ride The Storm"....but it changes on each listen [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Pete S.: yes indeed .....but the purple tracks may dominate etc

David: Glenn is superb with his gritty hard rock vocals....love it!

Pete S.: run run run

David: it would suck if it's dominated with Purple songs....one maybe, but not 3 or 4....

Pete S.: yep i've seen jlt in a different light after this album

David: that's just my opinion however [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Pete S.: yes i agree david

David: JLT is actually very good live and can pull all the stops out....we were pleasant surprised by that when we saw VCR earlier in the year....

David: and you have to be pretty good to keep up with Glenn who is so vocally domineering onstage...

Pete S.: with rainbow...i prefered dio then it was bonnett....

Pete S.: it got more commercial...

David: Yeah, I liked Dio with Rainbow, then Sabbath and his first solo record...after that I lost interest....

Pete S.: yeah.....H Hell was the best sabbath album.......but a lot of ozzy people argue that

Pete S.: in my opinion anyway

David: I don't look at it as a "Sabbath" album but just good music....

Pete S.: yes david after the fisrt dio album...it started to get "polished

Pete S.: mind you ...glenn's sabb. was really good and probabally underrated

Pete S.: a bit like stormbringer....takes time too sink in!!!!

David: yeah, I never accepted that as a Sabbath album...but just a great piece of music....I only bought it at the time 'cuz Glenn was on it.....

David: it had been a little while at the time since he'd been on a whole album....so was anxiously awaiting that release...

Pete S.: yeah i rember now....it was an age

Pete S.: what is the phenominar stuff like.....good line up

Pete S.: sorry about spelling!!!

Shirean: Its great stuff

Pete S.: what type....rock, funky......did it sound dated?

Shirean: rock...

Shirean: no I don't think its sounds dated

Pete S.: hey that's good,i'm pretty new to that stuff....will there be any on the jukebox soon?

Shirean: I'll see that something is added to the Jukebox next month - just for ya :-)
