They used to show it at the midnight movies around here and had actors in the aisles
playing out some of the scenes and generally messing with the attendees. If you get a
chance to, go check it out.
It's one of those things you have to experience.

No, and I really don't want to know about it either. The first one was bad enough.

Agreed, be it rock, classical, folk or especially world music.

LOL :)
I tried to google it to no avail. I think that I remember hearing it on Alan
Freeman's "Rock Show" BBC radio programme in the 70's. But it was the 70's and
it could have been anything :)
I heard a good version at the National Theatre (now the RNT) years ago, in the
play. One of the few Ibsen's I like.

Which reminds me of the catalogue aria from Don Giovanni. Have you heard Girlie
Girlie by Sophia George 1986?

Yep. As I live next door to a place with (at last count) 3 garage bands
(one of the guys is a sound engineer, so he has all manner of "artists"
come in), and most of what we hear, well, let's just say that if we
called them "three-chord wonders", it'd be an insult to three-cord
wonders the world over. One of the percussionists can't keep a steady
beat, even.
Personally, I'm a classical fan - mostly Romantic period, though I like a
fair amount of Baroque music as well.
Right now, I'm listening to the 1812 Overture. I think it's the Telarc
Digital recording (but I could be wrong, I've got a couple recordings of
it).

I haven't seen the play myself; there is a recorded orchestral version
I've heard that has lyrics in German that I really like. I may have to
dig that up now, in fact...Most of the recordings are just orchestral.

Have you ever listened to Joe Satriani? The album _Surfing with the
Alien_ is particularly good - I like "Midnight" from that album - some
outstanding technical guitar playing in that track.

I haven't - sounds like it might be interesting, though. Mozart is an
interesting composer - I especially like the Symphony k16a, at least
about the first 30 bars of the first movement. I get an image of people
running through a forest (like a chase).

I do have that in my collection, in a version by Lisa Kelly from the
'new journey' of the 'celtic woman'.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_oi6S4kLuY (were there any rules
concerning linking to possibly copyrighted material at youtube?)) .
Eventhough it is one of my favorites from that album I didn't recognize
the text.

Might I suggest you add "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" to that musicals
list? In my list of musicals I would dress in drag to go see live,
Hedwig ranks much higher then Rocky Horror.

You can do a lot it without post-processing. Guitar effect pedals are
everywhere, and if you don't like buying them just remember that the
guitar signal is AC and you can clip the waveform or otherwise distort it.
