                Hello again, everyone!  My apologies for this issue being
        several hours later than most - due to a thunderstorm Friday
        evening, I was "live without a net" all weekend.  Just my luck.

                On Europe's Headbanger's Ball there was this bit about 
        the "Last Action Hero" soundtrack.  They played the Megadeth bit,
        which has a video attached.  After that they played the 'Jet City 
        Woman' clip.  No 'Real World' video was "available as yet."  
        Let's keep our fingers crossed.

        Last Action Hero        Jorge <15062998R@servax.fiu.edu>
                All of you who have been hesitant to buy the "Last Action 
        Hero" soundtrack, you're really missing out on something good. 
        Besides two cheesy songs by Megadeth and Tesla, the whole thing 
        is good, especially the Queensryche, Alice in Chains, and Cypress 
        Hill songs.

        Liking Other Bands      Jeremy <apd@math.ufl.edu>
                I like Queensryche, Dream Theater, Galactic Cowboys, 
        Voivod, Mordred, but I just think Rush sounds like pop music with 
        poor singing.  My favorite Rush song is 'Roll the Bones,' and 
        that is a remake of an old Rush song - I think that the direction 
        that Rush took in the 80s was a bad turn.

        Liking Other Bands      Jorge <15062998R@servax.fiu.edu>
                To all these people confessing about how they don't like 
        Rush, take it easy!  There's no unwritten rule stating if you're 
        a Queensryche fan, you must be a Rush fan!  To me rush is 
        all right, but no big deal.  Please, you people sound like you're 
        confessing murder or something!

                I would give anything - well almost - to see the Galactic 
        Cowboys opening for Queensryche.  Talk about on heck of a show.
        The Cowboys are one of my current favorites and Queensryche, well
        you guys probably can guess how I feel about them! I just thought
        I would put in my .02! 

        Opening Acts            Jorge <15062998R@servax.fiu.edu>
                Galactic Cowboys was another awesome choice for opening 
        act. How about Rage Against the Machine?

        Back Issues on Disk     Don <grendel@jaflrn.linet.org>
                For those of us who don't have FTP access, why not put 
        the back issues on floppy disk for mailing purposes.  I know that 
        I'd like to see all 100 back issues, and I'm sure they'd fit on a 
        1.44 if you used PKZip?  Just a thought.
                        {There are servers on the net that will retrieve
                        files from FTP and e-mail them to you.  -sh}

        Boot or Promo?          Brandon <cuz@cs.brandeis.edu>
                Don't be too sure "Unplugged and Other Stories" is a 
        boot.  I am trying to remember the name of the promo that came 
        out at the time of the initial MTV Unplugged show, but I am 
        pretty sure Della Brown was on it.  It is a surprise that the 
        station is saying what the name of the album is, though. 
                However, if it is a boot, one has to take the guess that 
        RIF is a college station, no commercial station would take that 
        risk.  And any DJ with any knowledge probably wouldn't do so 
        either.

        Replacing Geoff         Igor <igor_sinyak@ccm.hf.intel.com>
                Yngwie's old vocalists in Queensryche?  It could work.  
        There have been several.  Jeff Scott Soto was last heard on 
        Germany's Axel Rudi Pell "Eternal Prisoner" CD.  Mark Boals sang 
        a few tracks on Maestro Alex Gregory's "Paganini's Last Stand".
        Joe Lynn Turner I believe is in Deep Purple.  I don't know what 
        Goran Edman is doing, but before Yngwie he sang half the songs on 
        John Norum's "Total Control".  I hear Yngwie's new singer will be 
        Mark Vescaro, from Loudness.  I think all these guys could step 
        in for Geoff, except maybe Turner, I think he's not aggressive 
        enough.  Another suggestion is Midnight, ex-Crimson Glory.

        Replacing Geoff         Mark <mckinzie@math.wisc.edu>
                You youngsters might want to take a listen to Halford's 
        older material.  He was quite capable of some decent ballads back 
        in the early seventies - the "Sad Wings of Destiny" album is a 
        must-have for any prog-metal fan.  Of course nowadays, Halford, 
        Dio, Meine, et al have all lost their voices.  Let's just be 
        happy Geoff is still singing well, his voice doesn't crack a 
        whole lot on tour, and he's fronting a solid band with good 
        lyrics.
                Why not Diamanda Galas as Queensryche's lead vocalist?  
        She has Geoff beat on range, would _definitely_ add some edge in 
        places, and if you want ballads, turn Chris wild - he seems 
        bursting to sing lead as it is!

        Replacing Geoff         Richard <lets2780@stud.let.ruu.nl>
                Although I have all of King Diamond's CD's (as well as
        those of Mercyful Fate, including the rather OK reunion album), I 
        would think Mr. Diamond would simply not do in the case of Geoff 
        having to be replaced.  King's singing is not half as excellent, 
        and the mere fact that he can sing rather high means nothing at 
        all.  I trust you meant your suggestion in jest.  I just figured 
        I'd react like the overly concerned Queensryche aficionado I am.

        Replacing Geoff         David <ccoprdr@prism.gatech.edu>
                Beyond the fact that he's a little old now, and his
        voice is beginning to fail a bit, what about Bruce Dickinson, 
        previously of Iron Maiden? :)

        Replacing Geoff         Tina <tina.briones@ebay.sun.com>
                If Geoff left, I would suggest calling up Tony Martin 
        from Black Sabbath.  He is by far my most favorite vocalist that 
        Sabbath has ever used.  I think his voice is really strong.  But
        I don't think it'll ever happen.

        Replacing Geoff         Jorge <15062998R@servax.fiu.edu>
                I thought that your choice of King Diamond was great.  
        That would be really different.  As for Eddie Vedder, I don't 
        think so.  Nothing against him, but I've been Pearl Jammed out 
        for now.  How about finding Don Dokken from whatever rock he's 
        been under lately?  Nah.  Another good choice would be Midnight 
        from Crimson Glory.  On the "Trancendence" album, he sounded a 
        little too close to Geoff, but on their last album "Strange and 
        Beautiful," he changed his vocal style, and the results were
        awesome.

        Movie: Mindcrime        David <ccoprdr@prism.gatech.edu>
                I'm not sure who should play Nicki.  I thought Uma 
        Thurman was perfect for Sister Mary, though.  As far as Doctor X 
        goes, I think there are two good choices.  Robert DeNiro (think 
        about him in Angel Heart), or - half-jokingly - Al Pacino.  "Jew 
        wanna @#$% with me, mane?  Kill the senorita.  And get da priest 
        as well, mane." :)  As far as Father William goes, you need 
        someone slick looking.  Maybe Bill Clinton or Kevin Costner. :)

        _The_Killing_Words________________________________Interpretation_

        Anarchy-X Spoken Words  David <mocko@cirrus.atmos.colostate.edu> 
                The spoken word section of 'Anarchy-X' is really cool!  
        For _years_ I haven't been able to pick out what was being said.  
        However, I'm still not convinced that what was in the FAQ is 
        complete.  Something extra is said (1-2 more sentences) between 
        "...equality?" and "This country..."  Has anyone figured this out 
        and can it be added to the FAQ?

        Neue Regel Meaning      Jason <downsj@csos.orst.edu>
                John was close.  'Neue Regel' is German, for 'new rule.' 
        Geoff also pronounces it wrong, perhaps on purpose - in order to 
        hide what language it is?

        Neue Regel Meaning      Michael <mmcpher@emoryu1.cc.emory.edu>
                Neue Regel is German and translates literally as 'new 
        rule.'  In the context of the song, 'new order' and 'new regime' 
        are both apropos.

        Neue Regel Meaning      Jonathan <jmosher@linden.msvu.ca>
                As you already must have a hundred replies on the meaning 
        of 'Neue Regel,' here is another.  Directly translated from 
        German, I get 'Neue' = new and 'Regel' = rule.  

        Neue Regel Meaning      Tina <tina.briones@ebay.sun.com>
                A friend of mine that speaks German says that Neue = new
        (neue is used like "latest" or "most recent" in fashion), and
        Regel = rule, standard, regulation, precept, principle, or law.
        So my guess would be the latest (most recent) rule (government).

        Latin Choral Vocals     David <mocko@cirrus.atmos.colostate.edu>
                Has any enterprising person - one with better ears than 
        mine - identified in any way what the choral group is singing in
        'Suite Sister Mary?'  I would be interested in knowing what song 
        they are singing.
                        {This was covered a while back but I forget the
                        answer.  -sh}
