OFF: Gov't Mule/King's X/Monster Magnet

[BREVARD, Adrian R.]

>Speaking of Gov't Mule.. thats another band I've never heard but have been
curious about. I see them mentioned in several different circles.. i.e., the
"Jam Band" people talk about them and the "heavy" people talk about them. I
thought they were a jam band at first but now am not so sure.. should I
bother?

Oh I get cised.  The late Robert Rudich used to rave constantly about this
band.  I finally bit and picked up the first Live album.  Raw uncensored
stuff, just the way they played that night.  These guys are the bomb.  Money
back gauruntee on the Mule!

>Monster Magnet is another one.. but I did hear their latest radio stuff and
wasn't that impressed so I may skip them.

An acquired taste fer sure.  Powertrip is a very good album.  I just love 19
Witches, still think it would sound better on the Brain Surgeons but thats a
nit.

>I'm a picky S.O.B.

As am I which would explain the relatively small (by comparision to others
on this list) CD collection, less than 200.

>On comps... I did buy "Workshop of the Telescopes" since all my BOC except
"Imaginos" is on LP and I wanted some of the old stuff to play in my truck..
I may still go out and buy the first 3 on CD though since WotT missed many
of my favorites..

I am sooooooo embarrassed.  I said I only had two comps.  I lied, I have
four.  WotT (yes a BOC comp found its way into my house), and the Best of
Sea Level, another Allman Brothers related band, though they sound more like
the Allmans than Gov't Mule.  I only got the Sea Level 'cause I can't find
the s/t or Cats on the Coast on cd.  Might as well wait on the first three
to see if Mo Fi actually does a gold T&M.  I'd prefer a gold ST but will buy
this sucker anyway.  There is also three pak by Sony which has the first
three for about $20.

Next time I'll try and think before typing.

>JB (In search of new listening adventures..)

Well how are you for some Triumph?  Then there is Saigon Kick, another
brilliant unkown band that dosen't play together anymore.  They have some
fab stuff if you can find it.  Did I ever mention Shadow Gallery to you?
What about Dream Theater?  You got the money I can surely help ya spend it
:).
