Hey, whats been going on with ID? This is a boring time to be an ID fan no tour or anything
what's going on with imperial drag now?, are they touring soon, or is a new album in the works, their debut album was awesome!...
I too have the new coward album. We got the promo about a month ago. This is a must have. Mr. manning's work adds a lot to it. Incidently I'm going to see them at the end of the month at St. Andrews in Detroit. Can't wait for the new album and a new TOUR!!!!!! Peace - I'm out.
HELLO, HELLO, HELLO!!! WUSSUP, DRAGSTERS? JUST WANTED TO DROP A LINE &
SAY "HI!". I'M SITTING HERE IN THE SWELTERING CALIFORNIA HEAT, SWEATING.
AS I WRITE THIS, I'M LISTENING TO THE SOUNDTRACK FROM DISNEYLAND'S MAIN
STREET ELECTRICAL PARADE (R.I.P.).I DON'T KNOW WHY I JUST TOLD YOU THAT,
BUT WHAT THE HEY!
FIRST THINGS FIRST. I SIMPLY MUST SAY A HUGE
"THANK YOU" TO TIGER! I HOPE YOU ALL APPRECIATE WHAT HE'S DONE FOR US
(AND YOU!) WITH THIS WEBSITE. WE ALL THINK IT KICKS MAJOR ASS. SO WHAT
DO YOU SAY? C'MON, WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE NICE MAN? THANK YOU!, THAT'S
RIGHT. VERY GOOD! ALSO HAVE TO SAY "KONICHIWA" (OR IS IT "OHAYO
GAZIMAS"?-"COME BAN WA"?) TO SATOMI. "NANJE DESKA?" (IS THAT
CORRECT?,OR DID I JUST ASK YOU WHAT TIME IT IS?) -TWO NEW PEOPLE TO SAY
HI TO; THE VERY SWEET "I.D. LUV"-HONEY, YOU SAY THE NICEST THINGS! YOU
MAY ASK ME ANYTHING YOU WANT (well...ALMOST anything!) - AND A PERSON
NAMED "AaRON"- I MUST HAVE COPIES OF THE GORGE SHOW (W/ALANIS) PHOTOS!!!
PLEASE RESPOND, & LET ME KNOW HOW TO HOOK UP W/YOU SO I CAN GET SOME OF
THOSE! PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE!!! (BY THE WAY, SEND US A TAPE OF YOUR
SISTER SINGING OUR SONGS BACKWARDS-WE COULD SURE USE A GOOD LAUGH!
I
WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME, IF I MAY (what am I saying, of COURSE I can,
it's MY website!) TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME FRIENDS OF MINE THAT ARE IN A
COUPLE OF BANDS THAT YOU REALLY SHOULD CHECK OUT; THEY'RE CALLED SILVER
JET & SUMMERCAMP- BOTH BANDS ARE FROM SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA ( A
SMALL TOWN, JUST AN HOUR NORTH OF L.A.) AND THEY BOTH KICK ASS. BOTH
BANDS ARE STAUNCH ALUMNI OF THE CHEAP TRICK SCHOOL OF "POWER-POP", HAVE
REALLY HOOKY, CATCHY LYRICS, GREAT MUSICIANSHIP, AND YES
GIRLS,...THEY'RE ALL "CUTE BOYS"! THEY ALSO BOTH HAVE RECORDS OUT ON
MAJOR LABELS (SILVER JET ON VIRGIN, SUMMERCAMP ON MAVERICK, MADONNA'S
LABEL) WHICH MEANS THEY'RE SELLING THEM IN A SAM GOODY, OR A TEMPO, OR A
TOWER NEAR YOU. BUY THEM!!! TODAY! DON'T WAIT! SAVE YOUR PENNIES, OR GO
BUG YOUR PARENTS FOR THE DOUGH. YOU WON'T BE SORRY, I PROMISE! THEN,
WHEN YOU'VE DECIDED THAT THEY ARE YOUR NEW FAVORITE BANDS (AFTER US, OF
COURSE!), AND OUR NEW ALBUM COMES OUT, AND YOU EACH BUY TEN COPIES,
MAYBE WE CAN TOUR TOGETHER WITH THEM, WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL? BOTH BANDS
ARE ON TOUR IN THE STATES RIGHT NOW- SILVER JET IS CURRENTLY MAKING
THEIR WAY BACK WEST FROM A EASTERN U.S.TOUR ( WHICH INCLUDED BRIEF
JAUNTS OFF TO JAPAN & THE U.K. FOR PRESS), AND SUMMERCAMP IS INTO THEIR
THIRD WEEK ON THE LOLLAPALLOOZA TOUR, AFTER A STINT WITH FAILURE
(ANOTHER AWESOME BAND!). PLEASE DO ME, THEM, AND YOURSELVES A FAVOR &
CHECK'EM OUT- TELL THEM ICKY SENT YOU ( AND THAT I SAID FOR THEM TO SEND
MORE POSTCARDS, DAMMIT!).
SPEAKING OF SANTA BARBARA, THERE'S ANOTHER
BAND FROM THERE THAT I'VE BEEN JAMMING WITH ON THE SIDE CALLED CREATURE
FEATURE. THEY'RE BUDDIES OF MINE AS WELL, AND I INTEND TO RECORD AN
ALBUM WITH THEM (WHENEVER I GET THE TIME!). THEY'RE A BIG DEPARTURE FROM
THE'DRAG -A LOT HEAVIER, MORE AGGRESSIVE. THIS BAND SATISFIES AN EVIL,
LITTLE HARD-ROCK BONE IN MY BODY. THEY SOUND SOMEWHERE ALONG THE VEIN OF
ALICE IN CHAINS, SOUNDGARDEN, & HELMET, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF WHITE
ZOMBIE THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE. DON'T WORRY, MY HEART WILL ALWAYS BE
THE'DRAG'S, THOUGH!
I NEED TO TALK BREIFLY ABOUT THE RECENT
DISATISFACTION OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SENT IN MEMBERSHIP MONIES
FOR THE FAN CLUB, AND HAVE NOT YET RECIEVED ANYTHING-BE PATIENT. KENT
RUNS THIS THING, LIKE TIGER, OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF HIS HEART & HIS LOVE
FOR THE BAND AND OUR MUSIC. IT TRULY IS A "MOM & POP" OPERATION! I
APPOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE IT MAY HAVE CAUSED ANYONE, BUT I ASSURE
YOU, I HAVE PERSONALLY CALLED HIM TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. HE HAS
YET TO GET BACK TO ME, WHICH PROBABLY MEANS HE'S EXTREMELY BUSY WORKING
( AT A REAL JOB-YOU DON'T THINK HE DOES THIS FOR A LIVING, DO YOU?!)-
I'M SURE HE'LL BE CALLING ANY DAY NOW, HE'S USUALLY VERY GOOD ABOUT
GETTING BACK TO ME. AGAIN, I APPOLOGIZE. PLEASE BE PATIENT. WE'D REALLY
HATE TO LOSE ANY OF YOU!
WELL KIDS, IT'S WAY PAST MY BEDTIME. I'M
GONNA TURN IN NOW. SLEEP WELL DRAGSTERS. IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS DRIFTING
OFF, JUST COUNT LITTLE ROGERS JUMPING OVER HIS MOOG!
LOVE ALWAYS,
ICKY.
G'NIGHT!
(P.S.- I'M GUESSING "THUNDERCOM" IS EITHER AN ANNOYING,
NERDY, SWEATY, OBESE, COMPUTER GEEK WITH ZITS WHO'S NEVER EVEN SEEN A
NAKED WOMAN IN HIS LIFE, LET ALONE KISSED ONE- OR AN ANNOYING, NERDY,
SWEATY, OBESE, FEMALE COMPUTER GEEK WITH ZITS WHO'S NEVER BEEN KISSED.
WHADDYA THINK?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
SORRY! I'M A RETARD! I HIT THE WRONG BUTTON. DIDN'T MEAN TO POST THAT TWICE. TIGER, WOULD YOU BE A BRO & DELETE THE SECOND ONE, PLEASE? THANK YOU! G'NIGHT! zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Hey leave Thunder Com Alone. This Guest Book would suck without him saying cool things. Thunder Com I'm with you all the way Dude!! :)
THANKS FOR YOUR NICE COMPLIMENT ICKYSAN!! DO YOU PERHAPS HAVE AN ANSWER TO WHO IS COUGHING ON 'BOY OR A GIRL'? IM ON A MISSION TO FIND THIS OUT YOU SEE... UM I FEEL QUITE TERRIFIED OF "THE OTHER WHITE MEAT" I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND!! IM GONNA GO OUT ON A LIMB AND SAY THAT THUNDER.COM IS A FEMALE COMPUTER GEEK, I DONT KNOW WHY JUST A FEELING I SUPPOSE! SAY HEY KID IS PROBABLY HER IMAGINARY(sp?) COMPUTER FRIEND, MOST LIKELY ONE OF THEM YUCKY BACKSTREET BOYS FANS, WHATEVER, DRAGAHOLICS ARE WAY ABOVE THEIR LEVEL, WE NEED NOT LISTEN TO THEM. WELL IF ANYONE KNOWS THE ANSWER TO THE COUGHING QUESTION, LET ME KNOW! THANKS AGAIN TIGER DUDE, YOUR PAGE ROCKS!!!!!!! ID IZ LIFE ;-)
ID Luv or Whoever: If you Leave Thunder Com alone he will crawl back in his wall or something and go away. Even though I think Eric Dover is pissed at me. ID Still rules!!!!
This message is directed to Roger Manning, I doubt he will read this but if you do....I am just curious as hell! What happened between you and Andy Sturmer? You guys were pals man! Do you still keep in touch? What would it take to reunite Jellyfish? Yea I said it! So what, it's on the mind of many even though no one will admit it. And another thing Roger, your brother kicks ass on bass. Why don't you get him involved again? You can't ever tell when you'll need a witchdoctor and besides he was a zany dude....PEACE
As the person Thunder Com hates the most I will guess that Thunder Com is More than just One person. Even that or Thunder Com Is fat enough to be 2 people Heh Heh ID rules 4 Life
THANKS GRETA, YOU'RE RIGHT, LEAVE HIM ALONE AND HE/SHE WILL GO HOME RIGHT? ITS JUST VERY HARD TO IGNORE SOMETIMES, BUT IM GONNA CERTAINLY TRY, ITS JUST NOT WORTH IT.
I am glad to have found some more ID fans, they possess such brilliant pop-sensibility. I am starved for more from them, is there a tentative release date? On the recommendation from Icky, Summercamp is a great band I may be interviewing them on August 5. If I do I will be sure to pass on the request for more postcards.
Icky, We're all starving for some new music and a tour. Since You seem to be the only one to visit the site. . .what can you tell us man. When can we expect the new Creation or a tour???????????? Thanks for visiting the site, I think it's cool you're keepin in touch with the fans. P.S. THANKS TIGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to win the Texas Lottery and throw all the money into getting Jellyfish back together again. How much do I need to pay?
Pardon My French, but FUCK all of you who keep talking about the Jellyfish. YES, they were awesome, next to the beatles they were (are) my favorites. BUT IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON. THE DRAG KICK ASS. You people are being awfully rude. GO PLAY AROUND ON CHRIS BRAY'S JELLYFISH SITE. TO ALL THE GUYS IN THE DRAG, THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU WE LOVE YOUR MUSIC. CAN'T WAIT 'TILL YOU COME TO MICHIGAN AGAIN. . .I GOTTA DRIVE FOUR HOURS TO SEE YA AND I'D DRIVE TEN IF I HAD TO. I'm out
I don't think people will ever stop talking about Jellyfish. Why? because they ruled. Alot of People are ID fans becuase of Jellyfish. So Jellyfish should be an accepted subject here. Jellyfish rock
Hey man I don't know Thunder Com nor am I him or it. It's just that I personally think some of his/her stuff is funny.Hey It's my Opinion (Disagree if you want to). Also I AM an ID fan. Thank you and Goodnight
I COULDNT AGREE MORE WITH STARCHILD, ITHINK THAT SOME RESPECT SHOULD BE PAID TO THE MEMBERS OF IMPERIAL DRAG, IT IS SO VERY COOL THAT THE BANDS DRUMMER HAS THE COOLNESS TO WRITE TO HIS FANS ON THIS PAGE, HE SHOULDNT HAVE TO FEEL LIKE HES TRYING TO LIVE UP TO JELLYFISH EXPECTATIONS(ESPECIALLY BEING THE DRUMMER) NOW LETS DROP THE JELLYFISH TOPICS AND CONCENTRATE ON THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD, IMPERIAL DRAG!!!!!! THANK YOU, LETS CONSIDER THIS CLOSED, PLEASE!! ID ROX THE WORLD! :-}
Concerning Starchild and I.D.Luv's comments, I have a right to my own opinion. I really don't feel I have disrespected anyone by suggesting that Roger M. & Andy S. work out their differences and play together again. If the Plastic Ono band had a website back in the '70s I would have suggested to John that he reunite with the Beatles, so why can't I do it now? If you're not following what I'm saying that's fine, you have a right to your own opinion...as do I. In other words... Oh, never mind, I'm beyond that. PEACE!
ID LUV: Its great that you voice your Opinion. But Theres a little thing called the CAPS LOCK button That I think you are using a little too much. Well I guess what I'm trying to say is lay off on the CAPS. I'm not being an Asshole just making a comment. Also it doesn't matter if you tell someone not to talk about Jellyfish because there just going to do that anyway.
Now is writing all in caps rude or something??? If it is, I didnt know and dont mean to offend anyone, i just think it looks neat, thats all, as far as the jellyfish thing is concerned, talk about whatever, its just a matter of respect, and iguess some will and some wont choose to follow.....whatever.... ID LIVES ON!!:-)
I think writing in all CAPS means that you are YELLING. Is that right?
Has anyone heard from Kent lately about the ID Fan Club. It seems he has just dropped off the face of the Earth.
YEEEE HAA! GOT YOU ALL IN CHECK! I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE ALL MY FELLOW ID FANS A GREAT BIG SHOUT OUT! AND TO ALL YOU UPTIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS YOU BETTER SPEED ON BEFORE YOU GET PEED ON!
I haven't visited this site for a month because I was busy...and whoa,some rude boys were gonna occupy this page? Anyway,hey I.D.LUV! Yeah I've been wondering who is coughing on 'Boy or a girl',too. But I was not sure if it was a real cough. You can hear sound like a cough on the end of the first chorus!?We have to make sure about it.... I talked with Tim Smith of Umajets and ex Jellyfish when he was in japan w/ Sheryl Crow and he doesn't think there is any possibility of Jellyfish reunion. I don't need it either because I really love Imperial Drag now! Though I watched a JF live video last night...;) Thanks Icky and Tiger ! And Kent are you busy to run a fan club for RED KROSS?
Coward's debut album (Roger Manning on keys) is alright... Red Kross' latest is AWESOME! The lead singer is a cross between John Lennon and Donnie Vie. I believe its titled Show World and it's a must have for all pop music lovers.
Thanx satomi, I'm glad I'm not crazy and someone else has heard " the cough ", Iguess I should reccomend a band to listen to as well, they're from my home town of Calgary, and they're called ZUCKERBABY, very cool band, major glam rock influence, they are ab-fab, however they don't even touch the greatness of the Drag. oh yeah Happy B-Day to Me!!!!!! sorry. until next time.... I.D. kix butt ;)
You people say lets not talk about Jellyfish but then you go and talk about bands no ones ever fuckin' heard of?? Think about it.
#1. Is swearing really necassary? #2. At one time no one had heard of JF either, if it wasnt for word of mouth they might not have made it past their first album. #3. Maybe i am a hippocrate for talking about other bands but i felt i just had to add in my suggestion, considering its much more polite and brain stimulating than mindless cursing. R U happy Falk? I thought about it for ya! (where do these rude people keep coming from?) ID rox :-> #
Hey everybody this is Joe the Bass player just posting to give you some kind of update on what we've been doing. We've been writing and recording new material all year, taking our time with it cause we want to get it juuuuuuust right. We're pushing some sonic boundaries here so we're not rushing anything. New frontiers take time. I can't give you a release date yet except that it probably won't come out till the beginning of '98 (technical/business logistics and all....) But I just wanted to express on behalf of the entire band that we thank you all for you continued support and interest during this down time. We're busting our asses here to try and make something for you that will satisfy. We're diggin' it ourselves. Mucho Amore to you all. To Tiger, Satomi and Kent, eternal love and thanks for all you've done and do. As for myself, I've been working on a side band called Gracie, recording demos and gigging around the L.A. area this summer and fall. Great music (to my ears at least) lots of melody and groove and quite different from ID (but it still rocks). I think a new Moog Cookbook record is nearing completion as well so look for that offering in the not too distant future. Oh...and IDLUV, I don't know who's coughing that is (haven't caught it myself) but it was probably Dover since he's the only smoker in the band. When I find out for sure I'll let you know. Once again, eternal love and thanks to you all for all the support. It don't go unnoticed. Will write more as the story unfolds. Until then....Hasta La Bye Bye.
Ok, enough rudeness guys. Even though I understand "Falk rockers" point. I still feel that he/she/it went about it the wrong way. Also lay off the bad words (Because we've all heard them before. and it doesn't make you sound cool) Sorry I just had to say that.
Thank you Joe,but I haven't been sure why the cough sound is on the song???just happening? Well,I hope Eric Dover is not a *heavy* smoker.I hate a heavy smoker and it's not so good for the throat...I saw him no smoking in a train for about 2hours.Good boy.
Yeah thanx Joe, we are finally getting somwhere, cool. I cannot wait until the new album comes out, it should be absolutely faboo. I'm at a real shortage of things to say today, so buh bye. ID RULZ!!!!
