[edit] Re: Carl Palmer
I just deleted the "Fying Hat Band" part you added to Carl Palmer. Carl never played in that band, it was his brother Steve Palmer. Just to let you know.

[edit] Re: Carl Palmer
I never edited Carl Palmer's profile - plus, it was his brother Steven who played drums in the Flying Hat Band.
[edit] Sorry then!
OK, sorry, I thought it was you who added the FHB piece. And I just said the same thing.
Anyway, I see from your page that you like three things that I also like - Nietzsche, Heavy Metal and economics! Maybe you can write something about the FHB. I've heard that their album was released a coupla years ago, but I can't confirm this.
[edit] All Good!
The Flying Hat Band's album was never officially released. As you may know, Vertigo thought it sounds too much like Black Sabbath and put it in the vault. Until one or two years ago, Gary of the Rockdetecor website used to own the original recording, but he has since passed it on to Glenn Tipton. So whether the album will ever surface is now entirely up to Glenn, but I sure hope he will decide to put it out somehow. Maybe even package it together with the much-anticipated follow-up to 1996 solo effort Baptizm of Fire?
However, I do own a four-song demo of the FHB that was released by a now-defunct German label in 1992. It is in fact a split with Attrobus and is no rarity, but in case you don't have it I'll gladly share it with you, just let me know.
[edit] Thanks Dude!
That's really nice of you. I wasn't exactly sure of Attrobus - if it was an FHB or Al Atkins. As a matter of fact I grew out this whole collecting thing, a few years back I sold my entire Priest vinyl collection (over 400 pcs!). I'm just curious to hear their early stuff - what did the "real" rock-rolla sound like, the original "Caviar and Meths", "Holy Is The Man" etc. I know that this Sharpe guy had a lot of demos, but in my day he was loathed by all priest fans as he didn't want to trade or sell them for anything. There was also a rumor that he had the SAW demos... who knows... Anyways, if you have this FHB on digital I'd be glad to give 'em a listen, you can email them leatherrebel74@yahoo.com otherwise don't bother. Thanks,
[edit] 1972 Demo
Check your e-mail, dude, I've got something for you there.
This is actually not a Priest demo, but a Flying Hat Band demo. It's a split with another defunct British band called Attrobus, and there are only four FHB songs on it, but they're pretty awesome. Just makes me even more curious to hear the full album they recorded with Vertigo.
True, Sharpe-Young has quite the collection, or so rumour has it. I have no idea if he owns a copy of the SAW demos, but from what Rob Halford has been sayign they're well locked up. Although Gary has proven himself very good at obtaining rare stuff. I know Rob has a huge collection of unreleased Priest material at his Phoenix house, but who knows if any of it will ever see the light of day.
Check your e-mail and let me know what do you think.
[edit] Thanks You're The Man!
I mean the Holy (is the) Man! I thaught 'Attrobus' was FHB's album title. In any event, I'm going to do 2 things now
1. I'll check my email 2. I'm going to break into Rob's house and lay a hand on those old tapes. Maybe I'll even make a buck on ebay, LOL!
Thanks dude!
Oh, just one thing, how can I find out how many records an artist sold? The other day I was talking to someone who only listens to classical, and we spoke about how much pop sells, and who are the biggest. I said Beatles, Stones, Madonna, Zeppelin, Kiss, AC/DC, Purple, Floyd. Then I read somewhere that I only got a few right - so where do I find this info?
THX.
[edit] Men and the Man
Be careful breaking into Rob's house... You might get lucky, he-he-he.
On a more serious note, if you're willing to pay for record sales data then I suggest you go to Nielsen SounsScan and get all the data by paying. If you're just inetesred in general sales level (in the U.S.) the RIAA official website should be enough.
http://www.riaa.com/gp/database/default.asp - Searchable database; http://www.riaa.com/gp/bestsellers/topartists.asp - Top artists ever.
Currently, the Beatles, Elvis and Zeppelin and the top three best-selling artists in the U.S. A year or so ago Zepp was number two, but I guess the recent releases of Elvis stuff sold real well.
[edit] Interesting Numbers!
I was quite surprised to see a few things... I'd like to know global figures though. Europe is probably less rock and more pop. I thought Michael Jackson was all the way up... Fleetwood Mac was a surprise - I didn't know they were selling records LOL! Plus a bunch I never heard of! You ever heard about George Strait or Brooks Garth??? I also see priest were at their peak sales-wise in the late 80'es - that's when all their albums went gold... Who cares anyway? If I like it I'll listen to it whether it sold 4 copies or 4 billion... Just interesting to see what people listen to in the world.

[edit] Old Macedonian
If you are going to make edits on the Old Church Slavonic page, it is essential you acquire these handbooks:
- Grigore Nandris, Handbook of Old Church Slavonic: I Grammar (London: The Athlone Press, 1959)
- William Schmalstieg, An Introduction to Old Church Slavonic (Slavica, 1992)
- Horace Lunt, Old Church Slavonic Grammar (The Hague: Mouton, 2002)
These are the best general OCS works in English and are the sort of reputable publications we should represent on the OCS entry. Now, be aware that the term "Old Macedonian" is widely used in English, as a glimpse at the introduction to these handbooks would show. The speech of Sts Cyril and Methodius was that of Thessalonki, which is squarely inside the region historically called "Macedonia". The term also helps to avoid confusion between the speech of Sts Cyril and Methodius and the considerable different dialect of later scribes in Moravia (Old West Slavonic) and the slightly different dialect of later scribes in Bulgaria (Old Bulgarian). This nomenclature was adopted long before current wars between Bulgarians, Macedonians, and Greeks over the existence of a separate Macedonian people and the term "Old Macedonian" implies no connection with the current inhabitants of FYROM Macedonia. 05:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wikimedia Canada
Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 14:44, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Samuil
Why did you remove a large amount of text without explanation? Please use edit summaries so your edits are not mistaken for vandalism.Thank you. Johann Wolfgang 00:48, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Samuil
You are right, my bad. However, the text under "Other theories" is absolutely ridiculous, claiming Tsar Samuil's life is the "established theory"? There is absolutely no sense or least of all any proof that Samuil was anything but a Tsar of Bulgaria.
A group of people are twisting historical facts to suit their political views. What if I went ahead and claimed that Caesar was Emperor of Rome only by "the established — and internationally accepted — theory"?
- I see your point, however I do not know anything at all about Samuil, that said I can not take sides on whether the text is true or not. If you want to remove it you can start a discussion on the talk page for consensus (this may not work in this situation though), or ask an administrator to intervene. Thank you.

[edit] Durzhavna Sigurnost
Грешката не е само твоя, за втори път се получава така, защото се предоверявам на ботовете, които в българската Уикипедия явно не са много активни по добавянето на междуикита (или може би аз нещо не разбирам от това, което трябва да правят... в en винаги добавям). Иначе да — съдържанието е супер сходно и няма да е проблем сливането.
Не мисля, че статиите за всички подобни служби имат имена на местния език — виж примерно State Security (Czechoslovakia). Освен това остава въпросът дали ще е Darzhavna, Durzhavna, Darjavna, Durjavna, Durzavna, Darzavna... основно заради това предпочетох преведено на английски име.
