Re: Late/Rules/RE: (TV) Hell, yes!

That's to bad that the original Destiny street is being further buried.  I had a friend pick it up for me while he was visiting New York whenit first came out and was absolutely blown away by those guitars (it was my first exposure to Quine).  I taped it and would blast it in my car and this thread reminded me of how they would just howl in pain, seeing as how they were fan's of Night Ranger, def Leppard and anything the radio deemed as good.  If I had any knock on the album it was the plodding bass that never seemed able to quite keep up.  IR Hell's vocals are as equally terrible, if not worse, than Verlaine's but that's what made it even better.  

Good times...
