Re: Law and Order - Rites of Passage

Listened to first 5 songs and they were better than I remembered but I still prefer the first record (listening now)! Go listen to Soul Inside. I have that that CD too. I'll have to find it sometime and check it out Like I said I worked at Tower records and we got promos, and a copy of Rites went i...

Re: I cover Pat Benatar's "Fire and Ice"

Yeeks. No wonder the timing sucks. Your best bet if you are doing a cover is to find a free midi file of the song that somebody has already done, and grab the pre-programmed drums from that. You can alter them to taste, but that should come pre-baked with the right arrangement and grooves. If you M...

Re: Law and Order - Rites of Passage

Love, Love Love this album. First one was good, but played the hell out of this for a long time and still listen every once in awhile. Was a more straight up rock band. Hair metal was hanging on by a small thread, grunge was taking over, this was exactly what I was looking for at that time. Dawn ov...

Law and Order - Rites of Passage

Anybody hear this thing? Its their second album. They had some exposure on head bangers ball with the song "We don't see God" from the first album. By the the second album in 92 they were in the pocket with what was happening, a mix of Black Crowes Rolling Stones and G&R but without th...

Re: I cover Pat Benatar's "Fire and Ice"

But take the drums. I literally pasted a wave file of the Pat Benatar original song into the free software audacity.

Was DLR responsible for the image of fun in a band of malcontents?

In 1986 I was surprised by how disdainful Eddie and Alex were of David Lee Roth. I think most of us believed they were all the best of friends and drinking buddies. But over the years with stuff coming out, it seems it was David Lee Roth that was the happy-go-lucky spirit of Van Halen. And maybe Ale...

Does he say "band members may stop by"?
Does that mean $250 promises only a peak around backstage and a look at some memorabilia?
If that's the case they should probably throw in an exclusive t-shirt. And not a crappy single color one either
