I think Alex's fingers are on FIRE from his newest solo!!! You HAVE to check this out! I am amazed, and he would give Kee Marcello a run for his money here. I honestly think that this is his best work yet, so go check out the brand-new version of "No Matter How Far" that I just posted.

After several of you here asked for it... I also decided to let you add our songs to your myspace playlists. I initially didn't want to, because these are all still just demos. I just figured that it wouldn't hurt, so I hope you enjoy! Also, I've been uploading the entire songs instead of just clips. It may come back to bite us in the ass, but I just like you to hear them.

Anyway, hope you're all having a great day. Now GO LISTEN TO THE SONG!!!

[JH'sTXfan]

Awesome! Box that one up, it's ready to sell.

[G.I.Jim]

Awesome! Box that one up, it's ready to sell.

His playing kicks ASS on this song! BTW... Thank you. If you like this though... just wait until we get the live drums and studio-quality sounds in these songs!

[JH'sTXfan]

Did you change the intro on Losing You? It's lost the Cold as Ice sound, or maybe I'm just used to it now.

It's All Over Now is beautiful.

No, I just posted a clip of that one. The intro just isn't there. Thanks for the compliment, and I'm glad you're checking out our stuff!

thanks guys,, this solo really gave me hard times. Not just because of the fast runs we did put into it!! Infact before I came up with the version you can hear now I just recorded tons of different solos takes and everytime I was coming back to listen to one of them the day after I recorded it I found myself thinking it was shit.. some of em was ALL yngwie-wise... Some other sounded like a "tarantella" I think with a little help from Jim I had the chance to balance it finally. Thanks for the compliments guys!!

Alex, nice crunchy guitar sound. Diggin the rhythm sound especially. AWESOME solo. Probably my fave vocal from you as well.

This is a catchy ass song!

Jim, the tempo is steppin up, now I feel like the music is "driving" more if you know what I mean. Once you get an organic drummer with a good touch on songs like these it's gonna be great.

[Michigan Girl]

Well someone's on fire!! this warmed the cockles of my heart!!!
AWESOME!!!!

Dial-up sucks! Didn't get to hear it.

Dial-up sucks! Didn't get to hear it.

They still have dial-up connections?

That's funny right there! And I'm sorry you can't hear it. I couldn't IMAGINE dealing with dial-up again.

[portland]

me either way too impatient for dial up!!!!

[A. M. Scott]

me either way too impatient for dial up!!!!

DIAL-UP????????????? Right here in Italy we don't have it anymore since 1999... I remember it was a real P.I.T.A.

Alex Mark Scott

[walkslikealady]

dial-up = $5.95 DSL = $19.95

I'm downgrading everything...think I'll be dropping off the technical map in fact...get one of those prepaid phones and ditching the landline.


What does P.I.T.A. stand for?

Thanks for the info...pita is still a type of bread for me....


Last month I used the computers at the local library, it seemed there might be several types who don't even have a computer in their home.

ive always wondered.. do you guys have an Olive Garden there? would that be like buying store bought pickles if you had a garden full of cucumbers?

Landline can be a lifesaver though. If power goes out or cell networks go down (rare but can happen).

I also keep a cheap dial up as backup. Just use firefox and turn off pics when reading MR.

Hey Larry,

I'm sorry for getting back to ya with long delay. Here u go....YES we are full of Olive Gardens here ... from North to South we have several of 'em ... infact we just make some of the finest olive oil in the world. BUT...if you meant to ask if we have private Olive Gardens on our own piece of land then we need to go further into our geography First...despite what you see in pictures or portraits about Italy...the "bel paese" isn't actually what Italy is all about ...I mean Italy is not just Green ... we have much green and stuff but all those piece of land are owned by i.e. Company making Oil or Wine or Vegetables... most of the Italian territory is ASPHALT...I live in Milano which is the center of the Italian economy...I guess it's similar to New York in example. We don't have such lands here...we just live in apartments made into big buildings...I'm happy enuff to live in a building where we're just 15 families but I know friends living in buildings made of 100 apartments...they are all looking fine by the way but you can't compare 'em with a piece of land and a house built over it... Now to answer your question: 99% of the Italian Citizens just can't make Oil or Wine or anything by themselves...we just have to buy it...Also...a piece of land in the most weird and uncomfortable place in Italy could cost you up to 100,000 Euros (145,529 USD at today's change rate) per acre ...same goes for apartments....mine is around 1,200sqft and it worth 300,000 Euros (436.589 USD) ... you can figure out it is quite impossible for the mid-class or even often the high-class too to go buying a land or a house when the average income per year is about 25,000 ... working-class men just get 15,000 or so per year...you can't have a loan or something so easily here... I can consider myself as a really blessed guy cause I have a roof over my head, I'm running my own business in Marketing & Media and have some decent amount of money I did put aside...but I have friends who are really hurting financially..since we just joined the EURO thing back in 2002 it's been a mess for everyone here...

I think I ran out of the track right here ... I'm sorry
I hope I answered your question

hehee....compared to the USA, Italy is the most expansive place on earth....just to beef it up a little bit more: 1 gallon of fuel=3,78 litres (or something close to it...btw Litre is our unit measure for liquids) ; 1 gallon of fuel=2 UDS??? ...well...just 1 litre of fuel in Italy is around 2.10 USD...

the same car...i.e. a bmw 320 (not the coupé or the M3...just the basic model of the 3 serie) will cost you 34,000 Euros here (see 49,488 USD) .... in the USA with the same money you can buy a 2010 BMW 5-SERIES 528I RWD.... same model in Italy its 65,000 Euros (94,615 USD).....

McDonalds...standard humburger (I mean 1 humb + 1 piece of shitty chees)menu plus coke and potato chips will cost you 6,99 Euros here which is 10,17 UDS...that makes it easier to understand why I'm desperately trying to move to South Carolina soooooo fast... !!! It's a hard deal but it'll worth the pain!!!!

Yeah, I was joking. Everything in the States is so cheap compared to the UK and that's before you take into account the exchange rate. A couple of years ago we were getting 2 dollars to the pound, so basically for us everything was less than half price. What a holiday that was!
