[kj] Pyramid Myth

[Phillipps Marc]

>did............."

If it was just Jaz saying it I would probably agree . . the same story has
also been told (in slightly different forms) by both Geordie & Youth though
. . 

"Whatever light Geordie makes of his talents, he does reveal a more serious
side when recalling some strange events which took place during some of the
'Pandemonium' sessions. Largely under Jaz Coleman's influence, large chunks
of the album were recorded deep inside the Central Chamber in the Great
Pyramid at Cairo, Egypt.
"Well we got in because Jaz knows the guy who is the caretaker of the place,
a guy called Abu Sett. We went down this corridor and into the chamber with
a couple of DAT machines to mix a couple of backing tracks and for Jaz to do
some vocals. The place was only lit by torchlight, it was really creepy and
we had enough power in the batteries for about six hours of recording. But
for some reason, after about half an hour both the batteries went absolutely
dead, nothing left at all!"
"The whole place is a very powerful and spiritual place. There are specially
chartered flights coming in from Tibet with Lamas wandering around in robes,
most excellent"
(Geordie - Guitarist magazine December 1994)

(I do find it hard to believe he actually said "most excellent" though)
