    	"American Metal" is my favorite by them ... off of the
    	"Terror Rising" album.
    
    	I have a couple others ... "Visual Lies" and "Menace to
    	Society" I think.

    	Oh yeah - "Terror Rising" has their cover of The Tubes'
    	"Don't Touch Me There".
    
    	I've never heard the original, but the cover seems to
    	be OK.

    You gotta like Notorious off the Menace....album!  I like all the
    albums so far but I haven't heard the new one.  Saw the new video,
    it's alright I guess, but hows the rest of the album?
    
    Mr. Ed

    I just bought on saturday "Master of Disguise". It's very good. I knew
    little about Lizzy Borden but the CD was at very good price with other
    few albums and the usual vendor recommended it to me. What a good
    surprise to discover such a great singer! The album mixes heavy metal
    with some classical orchestra interventions (even a famous organ intro
    from Bach) and adds also a little trumpet/sax on two rock tracks. Very
    well recorded and with many guests. I recommend it well.
    I liked the CD so much that today I returned to the shop to buy also
    "Visual Lies" which had also an interesting price so I got both for the
    price of one.
    For those who don't know Lizzy, I found he has (at least on "Master..")
    a voice quite close to Geoff Tate's.

    Sure, it's the famous Fugue 5XX (525 ? 537 ? 524TD ? 535i ?) we all
    know.

    Yesterday evening I've listened "Visual Lies" together with "Master of
    Disguise". They are both very very fine ! Great singing, instrumentals
    and production. Lizzy Borden is the name of the singer as the
    "Master.." is a solo album. I think for the "Master.." Lizzy was
    influenced by "Operation Mindcrime" somewhat as the tracks are linked
    by different interventions. But don't get confused, it has nothing to
    do with Queensr�che except the voice which can be compared to Tate's.
    Lizzy Borden plays quite melodic heavy with refrains catching you very
    quickly while keeping away from any poppish influences.
    I'll check for the rest of the LPs.

    	I thought I kept up with this stuff; I didn't realize she was
    	now in a new band and of course I can't recall their name now,
    	Lava-something.
    
    	Any comments?

    I thought she was a he?!?!

    
    	I'm obviously more confused than I thought!  It reminds me of what
    	happened to me the other night while roaming the streets of Central
    	Square in Cambridge;  Some (I assume) high school girls asked me for 
    	change for a quarter but all I had was a dime so I gave it to 'em.
    	One of them tossed a piece of candy at me and said here's your
    	change.  No big deal, I'll live.  So I tossed it back in return 
    	for a comment by her that showed she was in great need of a biology 
    	class, a text book with pictures, or something.

    	Lizzy Borden is a he.
    
    	Lizzie Borden from Lizzie Borden and the Axes is a she.
