RE:Hall of Fame
by Kinetic Kid 25 Feb '03

Thanks Giovanni, To have responded to my outspoken cry for information! I hope they get the chance to really practice the songs well and put on the best show ever. My songs for the Hall of Fame: If i had to play with The Police these are the songs i would play. 1. Driven to tears... Because it kicks ass live and i would play it like in Frejus the best version ever! Also suited for the critical times 2. Can't stand losing you medley... It's an amazing version to hear live 3. Shadows in the rain... Like live in Melbourne 4. Spirits in the material world... Another good political song 5. King of pain... Because it's a classic and sounds good p.s: With no backing vocals just the band singing Police songs that will probably play: 1. Message in a bottle... A classic for the masses 2. Roxanne... Another classic that everybody has heard of. hope play it with extra fast and punk like the early days with improv 3. King of pain... Another mass favorite. p.s: Hope they wont use backing vocals or Bono to sing high backing vocals for them. Cheerios ! Kinetic Kid __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

And....

AC/DC is giving a free concert in NYC the day after they are inducted into the HOF. It's their only show of the year. Fans have to win tickets on the radio, etc. Uh, hello, anyone listening out there in Police-land???? Sounds like a good idea to me. Maggie

Hall fo fame
by Kinetic Kid 23 Feb '03

23 Feb '03

Hey everyone ! Itès been a while! I just donèt understand that there isnèt much coverage on the hall of fame, especially concerning our band The Police. I was hoping to find some stuff on them, considering the fact that they are going to be together on stage for the first time in a while. I need to know more about whatès going on with them... Any leads!? "Too much information, going through my brain..." In my case not enough ! Kinetic Kid __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I know this was posted a LONG time ago but it got buried in my e-mail box until now......

Remember tho that the true DVD-Audio stream on the disc has to be played via analog hookup much like SACD is. Plus the Dolby/DTS track is not much higher up in resolution than standard CD.

Its one thing to have extras and such for a DVD Video title. But honestly for audio stuff, I want the audio quality to be the priority first and foremost on the disc. Now yeah DVD-Audio does a good job but SACD in my opinion has the upper hand as far as quality is concerned. I don't mind extras as long as they are worthwhile, but when I'm buying a DVD-A/SACD - the thing I'm most interested in asides from the album being worth owning is the sound quality. I've even bought a few albums that I've never heard of before on a whim and have grown to be favorites of mine (ie: Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters" on SACD, REM's "Automatic For The People" on DVD-A). > > > Plus the > > fact that SACD is capable of allowing both the standard CD > > plus SACD versions on one disc (the new Rolling Stones > > remasters for instance are hybrid CD/SACD discs). > > And as I've said, current DVD-A discs also include Dolby Digital / > DTS > versions allowing playback on DVD Video players - available for as > little as Â£59 (Around $100) What's the cheapest SACD player again? > > I'll agree to disagree. Cheaper doesn't always equal better (ie: Apex). I only payed $129 for my current Sony DVD/SACD player tho so the little extra in my opinion was well worth every cent. :) Oh... and wake me up when Peter Gabriel's "Up" is on DVD-A... or Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon." Both are coming out on SACD at the end of March - hybrid CD/SACD discs that is. Angel C.

Grammies/Clash
by foxie 21 Feb '03

21 Feb '03

dave grohl just got added to the Elvis/Boss/Tony Kamal line-up. it should be interesting. springsteen is a big fan of the clash. the only depressing thing about it all is that it took the passing of the great joe strummer to get the clash recognition. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
