*we somehow skipped that one.. dunno why...

Jons review was interesting, bye & large I agree with it, altho there are some
glaring inaccuracies.. :)  we did play Skinheads in Leningrad (in the loo
Jon?) and the "No Limits" style song I sang near the end was an ironic rocking
version of Kylie Minogues super giant number one for weeks & weeks hit single
"Can't get you out of my head".. which translates to a 2 chord thrash rather
nicely methinks. :)  (demo version I made for ther band to learn here:

Regarding "Dumbing Down" to the drummer, I agree Dino is *very* different from
Mick Stupp, but he's just as fast a drummer, & he swings more, but Stupp
definitely had a stronger personality & often led from the back, but he's
swapped drums for the guitar & we already have 2 of those, so..

I`ve sent Dino a CD with the bits he's unfamiliar with on, so maybe he'll be
more to your liking next time..

The band "feels" very much like ICU to me, I wouldn`t be in it if it didn`t,
there was a time during the 1st day of rehearsals back in October when I was
desperately thinking of escape excuses, but luckily things "clicked" and we're
back in the saddle again.. don`t expect the set to be composed of "oldies" for
much longer.. :)
