Hi Tony,
Sorry for only getting back to you now. I got stuck with some work stuff. There is a sequel but it is not called SPIRAL like I originally said, it is called DEEPER. I did get a novel called SPIRAL but it is part of THE RING CYLCE by Koji Suzuki.
I got all the names jumbled.
DEEPER has been available in softcover since Aug08, at least here in Canada. If you have problems getting a copy, let me know, and I could always send you mine.
The 10 Best Bootlegs of All Time Posted Thu Oct 9, 2008 12:52pm PDT by David Skye in GetBack In July 1969 a couple of Los Angeles-based fans found a pressing plant with a no-questions-asked policy and produced 2,000 copies of The Great White Wonder, a double album of Bob Dylan’s music in a plain white wrapper. This landmark set marked the creation of the first rock bootleg and launched a largely underground movement of recording and trading music by and for fans. The fact that this movement is still going strong well into the age of MP3s is a testament to our insatiable desire for rare recordings and live performances from our favorite artists.
Nowadays, artists compile their own official "bootleg” recordings. Last week Dylan issued the latest in his wonderful Bootleg Series: Tell Tale Signs. But somehow even the most satisfying artist-sanctioned release just can’t take away the thrill of scoring a great "unofficial" recording. Here are 10 that make our Bootleg Hall of Fame. Once the Man lets us, we'll play this stuff for you. Until then, close your eyes and imagine…
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN The Roxy Theater, Los Angeles, CA – July 7, 1978 [FM Broadcast] With the famous war cry “Bootleggers, roll your tapes,” Bruce personally guarantees a classic bootleg. The Roxy’s on fire, bending to the Boss’ every word. The venue’s intimate setting (500 capacity), combined with Bruce’s energy, make for an electrifying night and contender for best show of all time, as the band sounds tighter than ever and the crowd sings along to “Spirit In The Night.”
JIMI HENDRIX Cafe Au Go Go, New York, NY – March 17, 1968 [Audience Recording] This has been one of my all-time favorites since I first slipped the Maxell cassette into my player. Jimi was recording late this evening in a studio down the street from the Cafe Au Go Go. He decided he wanted to jam, so he walked to the club, hopped onstage, and joined the band, believed to be John Mayall And Friends. The magic is present from the opening chords, and the performance of “Little Wing” is heartfelt and mesmerizing.
THE BEATLES White Album Demos [Home Demos] The Beatles gathered in late spring 1968 at Kinfauns, George Harrison’s home in the London suburb of Esher. Accompanied by only their acoustic guitars, John, Paul, and George sat down and recorded rough demos of their newest material. Most of these songs were written during their trip to Rishikesh, India, in February to April 1968 and subsequently recorded for inclusion on The White Album. Not all of the songs performed that day would surface; some remain unreleased. Our favorite is “Child Of Nature,” which John would later rework for “Jealous Guy” on his 1971 solo album, Imagine.
LED ZEPPELIN O2 Arena, London, England – December 10, 2007 [Audience Recording] This is probably one of the most anticipated bootlegs in history and the fastest to hit the market. Fans were uploading videos from their cell phones to YouTube literally minutes after the concert, which was put together as a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, the legendary Atlantic Records founder who had personally signed the band. Listen to “In My Time Of Dying” and hear how well Jason Bonham, son of original drummer John “Bonzo” Bonham, fills his late father’s huge shoes.
BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS The Quiet Knight, Chicago, IL – June 10, 1975 [FM Broadcast] This was recorded on the Wailers’ second night in Chicago on what would be their last small-club tour. Their popularity exploded after Eric Clapton’s hit with Marley’s “I Shot The Sheriff,” and their subsequent tours would all take place in large venues. Thanks to bootleggers, this club tour was documented and just as the Natty Dread himself mesmerized Chicago, fans can still enjoy the original “I Shot The Sheriff.” Join the Trenchtown Experience.
THE DOORS Dinner Key Auditorium, Miami, FL – March 1, 1969 [Audience Recording] Jim Morrison, arrested? What really happened? The quality of this recording doesn’t meet our usually high standards, but come on: how many times have you heard about the alleged indecent-exposure incident and wondered what really happened? Check out this bootleg, and you can listen to exactly what the jury heard during Jim’s Miami trial. It’s the opening number, “Back Door Man,” by the ultimate rebel. “Are you ready for a good time?”
BLACK SABBATH Convention Hall, Asbury Park, NJ – August 5, 1975 [Soundboard] There are many bootleg stories, but this is one of the best; it's from a respected Black Sabbath collector. With the help of King Biscuit Flower Hour, Sabbath recorded this performance, hoping to put out a live record. Instead, the tapes were placed in the King Biscuit vault, where they remained for more than 25 years. In 2001 the doors were pried open, and this gem was leaked. A collector called King Biscuit to inquire about a recording he believed they possessed. The KB engineer handling the vault found the show, whicg was labeled “wasn’t good enough.” With that, the engineer kindly offered to send the collector a complimentary copy, thus the source of this recording. Ozzy asks the crowd, “What do you want to hear?” The crowd replies, “Paranoid.” Fireworks explode, and, with his trademark “We love you all,” the frontman carries through with a blistering version.
PINK FLOYD Madison Square Garden, New York, NY – July 2, 1977 [Soundboard] New York City was pumped, the local WNEW-FM began airing spots, and a giant inflatable pink pig was launched in Central Park’s Sheep Meadows (now Strawberry Fields in memory of John Lennon). A Floyd soundboard recording from the 1977 tour is a rare commodity. A lot of great audience recordings exist, but a soundboard is very rare. As Floyd take the stage for the second set, opening with “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” one fan comments, “I was about to hear my favorite album of all time played live by my favorite rock group.” Envision dry ice bellowing from the stage, breathtaking animation, and goose bumps as Floyd’s Syd Barrett ode swirls through the speakers.
THE ROLLING STONES Leeds University, Leeds, England – March 13, 1971 Leeds is one of those absolutely precious clear soundboard recordings from this tour, and many consider it to be the Stones’ definitive live document. The band is inspired throughout, so the whole show is one big highlight. Keith Richards and Mick Taylor prove why many enthusiasts consider this lineup their best, as you’ll witness in “Midnight Rambler.” The duo spins and weaves guitar lines and trade off solos, turning a slow bluesy number into a good old rowdy rave-up.
GRATEFUL DEAD Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA – March 23, 1987 [Audience Recording] What would a best-bootleg list be without the good ol’ Grateful Dead? Some fans, of course, argue that the essential performances are from the ’60s or ’70s. But the band’s first shows of 1987 tour after Jerry’s coma were explosive. The audience reaction alone during the chorus of “Touch Of Grey” is enough for this show to be classified a classic, and it was recorded by yours truly.

Next package I'll put in a bunch of Beatle boots, stuff you've never heard before and maybe stuff you may not want to hear again. I'll include the white album boots.

Right now I'm shaking the foundations of my neighbors homes with Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood. For some reason when I blast this CD, I see Eva Longoria dancing to it for me in a pink bikini that has 'Horrordude' in red lettering on the ass.
And I'm naked, having myself and ice-cold beer: the only way to cruise Horror World is naked with cold beer. Pizza's cool, but you don't want olives falling into your lap when you're sporting no clothes.
If Tommy Lee ever met me, he'd have to change his name to Pee Wee Lee.

Listening to Van Halen "Zero" - the Gene Simmons demos. Cool stuff I found awhile back which has Van Halen rocking out a demo BEFORE their famous eponymous debut!

Led Zeppelin's BBC Sessions: this double CD set always makes me want to chug a case of cold beer and get a portrait of Jimmy Page tattooed on my forehead.
Does this make me an obsessed fan?

Listening to a cool power metal band called Saidian, who are eerily reminiscent of the German power metal band, Edguy. So damn good it's scary. Also still rocking to AC/DC Black Ice and the new Malmsteen with Tim "Ripper" Owens on vocals!
Been listening to Sirius and heard some great songs from the 70's and 80's I haven't heard in years....Thunderclap Newman, Dave Mason...some neat stuff.

Metallica's Master of Puppets: anyone who doesn't crank this when it's in the CD player deserves to have funky peanut butter loaded into their underwear when they're sleeping.

I miss the early Metallica. Master of Puppets was a masterpiece. Such a killer thrash metal album the band wishes they could still make. After St. Anger which simply sucked and Death Magnetic which really was fairly forgettable, I've all but written Metallica off.
Speaking of written off, has anyone heard the new GnR CD called Chinese Democracy? All I know is that if this is the disk that Axl took 15 years to make, it's a major disappointment. It doesn't even come close to anything in their past catalog, including Spaghetti Incident. I suppose there will be a lot of pissed off gunners this month when they get the disk.
HHF, it's a full CD. 14 songs and most fall under the wtf was Axl thinking category. GNR is a hard rock band with punk influences marked by the trademark Axl vocals and Slash guitarwork. The new tracks have toned the energy way, way down and Slash's absence is definately noticeable. Even Axl's vocal chops seem somewhat strained on some tracks where he sounds more like he's having a rough bowel movement than singing with intensity. Hardcore fans will feel let down by this one. Maybe three or four good songs that have that GNR feel...that's it...

Wow, I didn’t know it was an album. I am going to have to check it out. I know it might not be that good, especially with no Slash solos and cool riffs coming out of a sweet-toned Les Paul, but I will still have to get it. It is GNR after all.
Tt, comparing the once mighty GNR to the BeeGees is something of a sacrilege. The BeeGees invigorated a style of music that was destined for obscurity while GNR breathed life into a genre that has been around for decades and is still going strong. Sadly, though, of the 14 songs on the "comeback" GNR CD, maybe four are actually good. That is a disaster considering this is the band that had cds like Appetite for Destruction where every track was a classic or even the powerful Use Your Illusions where there were way more hits than misses. Not sure if it's the infusion of new blood or the loss of Izzy who was the best songwriter in the band or the fact that fifteen years has warped Axl to a new level, but this is not the Guns I remember...or want to.
Well, lets see. The BeeGees, long before they donned skin tight spandex and horrified hair stylists everywhere were known for their syrupy blends of soft rock that was done to death by many artists like the Carpenters, Captain and Tenille and so many others. Those "pop" songs may be a staple on AM radio, and as muzak in elevators and dentists offices everywhere, but they hardly changed the face of music. The beeGees are and will always be best known for their foray into the drugs, dancing and glitter era known as disco.
GNR revolutionized the face of rock by taking aggressive music (punk, metal, etc) and making it appeal to the mainstream and essentially becoming the biggest band of their era. Each successive album helped the band become bigger and bigger. Had it not been for internal strif and Axl's difficult demanor, they could have been the biggest band of all time. The fact that when Chinese Democracy is released Saturday to the masses, it will go platinum very, very quickly and sit atop the charts for a very long time. Fifteen years and the fans have not forgotten and will eat this cd up, even though it is not good. Why, because of their impact. Could the BeeGees have done that 15 years after their last song? Absolutely not.
So, it's not a question of the fact that easy listening stations still play the BeeGees, GNR are still played on rock stations across the world and fans still stop and listen. As any GNR fan can attest, the opening riffs to Welcome to the Jungle are some of the coolest in rock history.
