[Heeplist] Heeplist] No apologizes (translation)

[merrick3 at comcast.net]

I think the new Heep line up is great. To me it is like apples and oranges trying to say if this line up is better than 1972. For me it is what am I in the mood for. I think this line up is great , now I have a solution for some ok. If you don't like the new line up don't listen to it. For me as a Heep fan listening to this band thru the years with the many different line ups and the many different albums to listen to makes me smile. If I want to hear older Heep i put it on, I find my self listening to a lot of the Bernie Era stuff now. It is funny how many self proclaimed critics there are , like their opinion is somehow valid above all others. I will say it again, you don't like the new heep don't listen to it. Like I need validation of what real Uriah Heep is HA HA. There will always be over opinionated critics in every aspect of life but it really doesn't matter. With that being said I will be listening to Outsider today when I head off in the van. 

MADMAN 

p.s. URIAH HEEP FOREVER

I get Igor's point now and I know many do not agree. What he seems to be 
saying is current Uriah Heep is a watered down version of the 1972 era Uriah 
Heep, with only one original member left. I got that from another recent 
post where he says Trevor and Lee are gone. 

Now I ask, is there anyone on the list that thinks current Uriah Heep is 
better than the 1972 verison? Ok, that is a rhetorical question as I doubt 
anyone will say that. 

The majority of us feel we are lucky that there is a version of Uriah Heep 
that makes us happy and puts out great new music. We celebrate the past, 
yet embrace the "now" (our Heep glasses are half full) 

So Igor while you have a valid point, you continue to belabor such point 
into ad nauseam. Your help glass is half empty or maybe a drop left, lol 
:-)) I do have a question, if they are so bad and so watered down and such 
shells of their former selves, why are you here? To celebrate the past and 
reject the now? 

One last question, do you have a band in mind that is playing now that does 
live up to your expectations and that you are a huge fan of? As some of us 
over obsessed, pie in the sky Heep fans on the list? 

Perhaps I should simply rephrase: Are you a fanatic of any current band? 

Just aksing here, not trying to cause trouble, only trying to figure out why 
you bash the current incarnation of Uriah Heep over and over on a list of 
fans? Are we to be college fraternity pledges who are naked on hands and 
knees and every time get spanked, have to scream out "Thank you sir, may I 
please have some more"?
