Pantera - Cemetary Gates

Just a tidbit on these guy's too.
The guitar players dad has a recording studio in Pantego Texas , not far from Dallas.
Some of my buddies made a demo tape there once.
Also the guitar players dad did a lot of Jimmy Buffets studio work on keyboards.
Sadly the guitar player (Dimebag Darrel) was gunned down on stage by a psycho ex fan who balmed him for breaking up the band even though the singer was a heroin addict and OD'd .

This is the song that "made" them IMO

Good Version Too but not origional group.
Just Page and Plant and others but well worth the watch or listen rather.

any mixmasters here?
Add a little nuttiness and play these two songs at just the right time one over the other

(A professional mixer could make a really new hit)

Can you read my mind (Original version)

Can you read my mind-live version with Lea Salonga from the Superman soundtrack
(with Lois Lane doing the Can you read my mind)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbZEqLM1slI

The Superman instrumental goes first, then when it is time for the recitation by Lois is when you cue in the other


(Play it loud and watch everyone else in the room leave and call you nuts, loco, loony)
If someone makes a hit off that, I can give you an address to send the royalties ©

Dire Straits (live), Romeo and Juliet

Big John Wallace sang the backing vocals in Taxi, and was the voice of the drycleaner Mr. Tanner in "Mr. Tanner".

Harry had a great band, and after Harry tragically died, none of his band ever found a job as big or satisfying as those days.

Once or twice a year the band does still perform in charity events, or with his daughter Jen Chapin or brother Tom Chapin. But it's not the same without Harry.
Personally, out of all the people in the entertainment field who died, I think the biggest loss and most senseless was Harry.IMHO of course.

It's too bad there is no tapes (or are there?) of Harry speaking to Congress about Hunger in America and the World.
(before it was a popular thing to do, Harry actually had the balls to not only do it, but get himself invited to speak to Congress...)
It can be said, that without Harry, and then Harry's death there never would have been a Live Aid, A We are the World and without Harry, artists like Bruce Springsteen probably would never have started doing benefits for food banks and feeding the poor.(ALso thank Harry's wife Sandy for getting Harry involved). (At the Tribute to Harry at Carneige Hall where he got the Medal of Honor, Bruce Springsteen gave a great speech about Harry kept "bothering" him to start speaking out and doing charity events. How Bruce would run if he saw Harry was coming, knowing that a lecture would be given, but look how much Bruce has done in the years since for causes...thank Harry for that.

Or perhaps the saddest song ever recorded"
The Shortest story (about the very sort life of a baby born where there is no food, starving to death)

I am born today, the sun burns its promise in my eyes;
Mama strikes me and I draw a breath and cry.
Above me a cloud softly tumbles through the sky;
I am glad to be alive.

It is me seventh day, I taste the hunger and I cry;
my brother and sister cling to Mama's side.
She squeezes her breast, but it has nothing to provide;
someone weeps, I fall asleep.

It is twenty days today, Mama does not hold me anymore;
I open my mouth but I am too weak to cry.
Above me a bird slowly crawls across the sky;
why is there nothing now to do but die?



So if anyone can find a video of his testifying to congress...

Me too man ... that was scorching !
Hell , i'm gonna watch it again and again.

Check this oldie but goodie out , remember Brandy ? by Looking Glass ?

JUSTICE THROUGH MUSIC AND OP-CRITICAL RELEASE HAPPY SPRINGTIME, BUSH IS OVER


Thirty some years ago, John Lennon released Happy Xmas, War Is Over as a prelude to the end of the Vietnam War. Now JTM and Op-Critical have released a remake of the song with new lyrics, called Happy Springtime, Bush Is Over. In the original, the Harlem Children’s Choir sang the hook, and in our new version, the Harmonic Angels do a terrific job on the chorus and the hook. Here is the video of the band and the choir, complete with footage of Yoko Ono’s giant Imagine Peace billboard and her Peace Prayer Trees that she put in Washington in early April.

Enjoy, spread the message, spread the links and imagine peace.

this above video appears to be sanctioned by Yoko Ono and the Beatle Estate for John Lennon
Which means its a legit video

Thanks, G4A!
