Of all the bands that would come into Bill's Records & Tapes when I worked as a teenager, the most attention-starved was Cinderella who would come in wearing full length leather coats over lace and zebra print and two foot high hair (in the summer) pretend to be reading magazines but were just trying to get people to ask who they were.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:48pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

The relation of Band & Audience in Metal is a great & powerful thing. You can feel that - & a singalong Chorus goes with it. Anthem by numbers... The cynical part of me thinks they worked so hard because they were materialists. Everybody keeps score in different ways... Of course - the Music Biz was radically different then. (Yes?? No??) For all this talk of competition & trying to distinguish themselves - it has th patina of sameness to me... Their strenuous desperation seems a compensation for not having ideas or much to say to me... like HipHop when it to being nothing but talking about how bad they are... But still - they're Rawking hard, right ?...

But I'm also going to be grateful for what we just got. Brilliant show and interview, efd! What a joy to have been here.

Thanks, Scott!
