Presence, and a Whole Lotta Clive

[dancing_days@xxxxxxxx (Adam Shoop)]

presence
presence is one of there great albums...and you have to consider the
situations...what did you expect, a sequel to Whole Lotta Love?  Achilles
is just as great a song as that (even though it could have been edited
down a bit, IMO), and so is the rest of the album...as I said about a day
ago, and someone else mentioned, Bonzo is SPECTACULAR!!  And as I also
mentioned, I love those sections in Royal Orleans from aproximately [off
the top of my head] 00:52 to 01:09 [I can't remember what my Alg. 2
homework is 10 minutes after its assigned, but I can remember specific
times in a song where I like the drums, what an idiot]  I do however
*love* Bonham's drumming on 'Kashmir', and believe it was his, or one of,
best efforts.  It really makes the song...and PG.

Clive, I usually don't get in on stuff like this, and when I do I usually
make stupid comments/mistakes, but really, just stop.  The constitution
reads that in OUR country everyone is equal...well I'll check on this,
but I'm pretty sure that every OTHER country in the world doesn't think
exactly like this, at least most of them.  And...BECAUSE THERE IS CRAZIES
LIKE YOU STARTING WARS LIKE THE ONE'S YOU SPEAK OF!  

Oh and...
 I can't think of any wars where one half tried to blow the other half
away, it's usually mixed up all over, or we wouldn't have a war, one
country trying to take over another, that country trying to stop it,
other countries intervening trying to help...

Am I being technical?  Too bad.

over it".
>Oh no, oh my God, I've done it now!! I've mentioned another rock band!!
>Let's see how far the "any opinion's okay with us" brigade react to
this!!!

Well I read that post and I don't ever remember hearing I had a 
"metaphysical, religious, X-Files type thing!!" ever mentioned, as you
described it.  All he or she [I can't remember]
was saying was that they knew what the band members were going through,
and the album is really moving...I think about everyone I know listens to
music because it *pleases* them...and sometimes it just makes you feel
good...like you wanna get up and fix the entire world...and that is what
LZ does for me [depending on the song, obviously not Tea For One or
something].
Maybe you need to go listen to the Eagles...Lighten up...we're all here
to have fun, don't act like such a [I believe you put it as...] cunt, or
a prick.  Your choice of words throughout all your posts have been in
*BAD* taste...try and write intelligent replies, don't just fly off the
handle filling up your posts with as much malicious vulgarity as
possible...because it's not necessary to make a point...

[CLIVE PORTION ENDING]

Page/Coverdale
I really enjoy the guitar work on Page/Coverdale...just like most fo you
said I would...and Coverdale's vocals are pretty good...sometime he
sounds a little like Brian Johnson [AC/DC] but sometimes his vocals are
quite nice, some of the lyrics really suck, and while I prefer Plant, the
album is pretty good.

great...and which worked better, as far as actually *working*?  I'm
guessing neither...what was it with those things that they were always so
out of wack?

No one knows...it's a complete mystery...Molder and Scully are working on
it as we speak...

yeah...that's pretty effective, Americans think we own the world...last
time I checked we hadn't tried to take over Canada, or Mexico, and the
only time we have stepped in on a war was to try and help save someone
else's butt [excluding thebad mistake of stepping in and not pulling out
of Vietnam], and when we bombed the heck of out Japan, we gave them money
to build it all back up again [go figure]...So settle down Clive Barker,
go play with some of those scary action figures spawned off your scary
movies...
