07:45:53 RickO4001: go indie-more control for you all
07:46:31 Guadalcanal dia: this browser window is awfully small for a large band.
07:45:13 Guadalcanal dia: new cd"s yall -live and studio god willing.
07:44:37 Yall: Go for it... this is the Guadalcanal Diary singled-out hour!
07:43:45 Yall: Has the band been talking to record labels?
07:43:43 Guadalcanal dia: you people certainly have other things on your mind besides music.
07:43:29 Yall: That will happen Guadal... sorry to hear it, though.
07:42:42 Guadalcanal dia: the browser crashed.
07:41:02 Wally: Now I remember why I stopped going to chat rooms...who ever doesn't have a question for the band should just listen or go away. I'm outta here. But Guad...I love ya. I'll keep in touch with Winston's web. "Serial Killer, cool" !!!
07:40:45 Sexkitten: Hmm, Guadalcanal Diary....I don't think I was around for them in the 80's....I like punk and alternative....
07:38:48 Yall: To all our new chatters: We're here with Guadalcanal Diary tonight. A band from Athens, GA that were humongous in the '80s. g
07:37:04 Guadalcanal dia: we will share it with the world yal.l
07:36:48 RickO4001: get on an indie label why don't you.......they'll treat you better and put more attention to getting your music so it's available to more people.....like me.
07:36:44 Guadalcanal dia: we will share it with the world yal.l
07:36:31 Wally: I think music got kinda crappy from the time you left the scene (early 1990's). What do you guys think? Noone has that late 80's sound anymore.... grunge blows? REM sold out! Smithereens no longer exist...and I know there wuz
other great music then.... who did you play with that you liked? didn't like?
07:35:58 Sheafe: Seen the band MANY times, been looking to talk to Jeff again
07:35:46 Guadalcanal dia: winston if i read the question right , yes please stop me is about a serial killer.
07:35:08 Yall: GD: What will you do with the recording?
07:30:13 Guadalcanal dia: jjeff are you here?
07:28:41 Yall: Here's another question: Number of albums released?
07:28:13 Yall: Are there still tickets available for the shows Jan. 23/24 at Smith's in Atlanta? (for all you new folks... the band is recording a live album on those nights...)
07:27:11 Winston: http://winston.tusc.net/gd
07:26:59 Winston: I second that one Wally...
07:26:56 Yall: Winston: Pop up that www page url again...
07:26:47 Bollard: you played with them or something?
07:26:27 Tina: i don't know any of them..... you, bollard?
07:26:19 Guadalcanal dia: everybody knows r.e.m.
07:26:16 Wally: Have you guys thought about doing Summer music festivals?
Memphis in May, City Stages (Birmingham)? I think you'd find lots of long-ago fans would turn out, since everyone's not aware of Guad Internet Pages.....
07:26:08 Yall: Freak, and all other new folks: WE're chatting tonight (until 8 p.m.) with Guadalcanal Diary, a band from Athens, Ga...
07:25:42 Guadalcanal dia: murray: vocalist. jeff and murray: guitars. rhett: bass. john:drums

07:24:20 Bollard: hey GD , i hear you know REM
07:23:32 Yall: (the Chattahoochie is in Atlanta, Ga.)... Question:
Members' names?
07:22:52 Guadalcanal dia: on both sides of the chattahoochie.
07:22:02 Guadalcanal dia: yes: bunny.
07:21:43 Yall: How about some history for those here in the chat tonight
that might not be familiar with the band. Question:
Where did the band originate?
07:21:31 Guadalcanal dia: cattle prod is good. overall.......?
07:21:14 RickO4001: ooops, i thought walking was about GOD
07:20:45 Yall: does the bunny have a name?
07:20:38 Wally: What's your favorite song that you guys did? why? (my
personal fav. is cattle prod)
07:20:02 RickO4001: the one that's not on CD.........aaaaahhhh
07:19:49 Guadalcanal dia: walking in the shadow ...... pt. one was about the bunny.
07:18:58 Guadalcanal dia: it was jamboree oh wise one.
07:18:46 SB: music?
07:18:22 Guadalcanal dia: the bunny is a mascot of sorts who came along for the ride, disappeared when we parted ways and came back to us when we reformed.
07:18:07 Winston: Actually, that was Jamboree wasn't it? :)
07:17:36 Wally: There wuz a particular song on "Walking in the Shadow"
that used to have lyrics about "please stop me
before I kill more". I always thought that this song wuz about a serial
killer. How far off base is that?
07:16:47 Guadalcanal dia: we have songs about bugs on the studio album
plans.
07:16:35 Yall: Are you releasing the record yourselves or are you working
with a label?
07:15:59 Guadalcanal dia: wally yes studio. yes, live!
07:15:50 Jade: I'm at Honky Tonk
07:15:26 RickO4001: so what's the bunny about?
07:15:12 Winston: What kind of turn around are you expecting for the live
album? I.E. when will we be able to buy it?
07:14:49 Yall: Guad.: Bugs?
07:14:28 Guadalcanal dia: the bunny is producing .
07:14:24 Doc: Hve you ever been in a Turkish prison camp?
07:14:03 Wally: Guad. Oh man! And I am in the process of moving from
Memphis to D.C. this weekend. If I have a buddy go to the show in Atlanta can they buy music or is it just the show which you are recording? or will you be going back to studio too?
07:13:46 Yall: Who's producing the sessions?
07:12:59 Guadalcanal dia: sheafe, my dogs & any or all members on the phone depending on what i say.
07:12:14 Yall: Winston, is there an e-mail list people can sign up with?
07:12:11 Tina: hey guadalcanal dia......
07:11:25 Winston: I keep up with used CD's of GD stuff and send email to a list of about 340 folks when someone has one. For more info : winston.tusc.net/gd
07:11:17 Yall: There's a lot of history behind the band... so how would
you best answer the question: "who are you guys?"
07:11:10 Guadalcanal dia: wally, that's exactly why we are recording
greatist hits this weekend.
07:10:47 Yall: Just a note: We're here for the next hour with Guadalcanal Diary, a band out of Athens, GA about to record a live album...
07:10:10 Sheafe: John, anyone else there with you?
07:09:59 Guadalcanal dia: hi everyone & tina
07:09:35 Wally: Hey Guad, I used to listen to you all the time when I wuz
in college (MWC - Fredericksburg, VA). Graduated in 1990 and never heard you guys again when someone stole all my music tapes. So do you find many people can't locate your old music on CD?
07:09:15 Guadalcanal dia: no plans to play out of state just yet.
07:08:33 Guadalcanal dia: Performing old and new material. A large
selection from each preveous album.
07:07:26 RickO4001: any plans for shows out of georgia ?
07:07:06 Doc: I think I had a tape of yours....was there a kid swinging a
2 x4 on the cover?
07:06:07 Yall: will you be performing new and old material or all new?
07:06:05 Sheafe: Who is missing in the physical sense?
07:05:46 Guadalcanal dia: we certainly are.

Jan. 23/24 and recording it all for a live album...
