>Why not? An opinion is an opinion. No one's more true than the other. Down to the individual taste.

As GNDM implied, most of the information came from this site (I can't remember if the book acknowledges that).

> started off right at the front and must have got moved at least 20 feet by the swell of approx 90,000 people pushing.

The audience was nowhere near that big.

>From the reviews and photos i've seen it looked awesome.

It's the same show as perfomed on "The Nightmare Returns" DVD, if you have that.

Was the performance at Reading Festival (or Donnington/whatever it was called!) Reading. >ever filmed? Not professionally.

Exactly (as has been previously discussed at great length).

>The only credit for lyrics/music on that cut is Tobias Sammet.

Thanks. This would mean that Parish can blame someone else for that lyric.

>Hmm, girls and boys and toys...now where have I heard that before?

>He's just sooooo not trying anymore...

Do you know for sure that he had anything to do with those lyrics, though? That question was asked earlier in this thread, but I don't think it was answered.

>Really strange that Alice has a new cd coming out but the tour is not in support of it.

You must have missed the long discussion at:

>Like me, Alice is a Republican and I honestly believe that is what is his keeping him out. Then again, I could be wrong

I doubt that has anything to do with it. After all, Johnny Ramone was reportedly a Republican and that didn't seem to stop him from getting into the Hall Of Fame.

>maybe he needs a reminder from the spider...the black widow. That would be difficult as Ertegun died in 2006, so he's probably no longer in any position to influence who gets voted into the Hall Of Fame (and that subject has been discussed here before, so hopefully this thread won't go off into tha...
