ELTON J. AND BERNIE T. ARE UP TO THIS,THAT, AND THE OTHER Not only have Elton John (he writes the music) and Bernie Taupln (he wntes the words) been reunited after their split three years ago. but they've wrttten a song about It for Elton's new album. The album Is UUed 21 At 33. the song Is called "Two Rooms At The End Of The World" which has been termed '3 moving account of their reunion as a songwrt Hog team after three years apart' and contains verses Uke 'Through a mutua1 agreement. we got that aching feeltng rro look up one another

one more time. 'When we decided to temporarily go our separate ways:' says Taupln. "It wasn 't a bitter parting. as many people thought. It was meant as a breather and gave us the opportunl ty to collaborate wtth other artists whose work we admired," Elton and Taupln have co-wrttten eight songs together. They did this tn a songwriting session In the South of France. All eight of the songs have been recorded by Elton, but only three of them ("Chasing The Crown", 'White Lady White Powder", and "Two Rooms") wtll be Included on Elton's new album , The rest will be In· eluded on the next Eltor album to foDow 21 AI 33.

Besides his reunion wtth Elton, Taupln has been busy on several other fronts. As a

lyriCist he's also WT1tten a song wtth Mike Chapman (Knack, Blondle producer) which Chapman will have Cher s ing, "Chapman WT1tes In only a few chords and we wrote this one In Ove minutes. What a rellen" comments Taupln. As a Singer· songwt1ter he's recorded his own album. He Who Rides The Tiger: For this album he worked wtth Dennis Tufano (fonner lead Singer of The Bucklnghams) who he met In a bar In Hollywood, Says Taupln of this alliance, 'Worklng with Elton Is different. beSides working In a more commercial fonnat. ! write tile lyrics and pass them a long to him. Dennis and I work together - I contrtbute a lot melodlcallyand rhythmically - and it's much more challenging." In other areas of show biz. Taupln Is also busy. He and screenwriter Ian La Frenals have written two sc reenplays based on his past work wtth Elton. One Is for an animated OImand Is called 'Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy: This cartoon has been purchased by Dick Clark and Includes Elton and Taupln as anima ted characters on a voyage to Poptropolls, a multi -tiered city of pitfalls and promises which Is symboUc of the music Industry. The other project with La Frenals Is the screenplay for 'Goodbye

YeDow Brtck Road' which borrows Its title from the multi -platinum album Which Elton and Bernie did In 1973. elOlie to twenty EJ & BT songs wtll be featured In the mm. Says Taupln. 'What we haven't done Is build the story around the songs. but rather. we wrote the story and made the songs Ot 1l."0

only Ca nad ian releasel, something lik e g roup c h em i s try must be discussed, In a power trto, there are no supe rfluous parts, and in Trtumph, bassist Mike levine and drummer Gil "The Bird" Moore play eq ually important roles. 'When we're In record ing:' muses Rik. "It tends to break dow n Into our co mp o n ent parts. Mike tends to think very much like a producer, how things are gonna sound when they're Onally mixed, the best arrangement. h ow It might feel on the radio. Gil Is very much the hard - rock, let's -bust everybody's-balls philosophy, So he's looking togeta very live so und, and a lot of energy. a nd he writes his tunes like that. He brings 'em down to re hearsal and he's ready to go, pound It out. My role is more reOecllve, l et's think about so m e sort of harmonies, or chord changes here. and like that. "I n a three-piece band, the bass is a very steady pulse that you h ave to rely o n 10 keep eve r yt hin g together. The drums sh ou ld be l oud and driving, and the guitar has the mos t freedom . I t's the only thing that plays h armony and melody:' Bu t why a three piece? Doesn't Rik ever feel the need for more musicians on stage. Heshrugs. "Personality wise, It seem s to work the best. In the beginning. It was the l eas t ways you'd h ave 10 split the loot. But reaUy, th at was what we wanted. Sometimes 1"11 admit that' miss h avi n g a rhythm gullar part thai I double-track on a record, or would like to play somet hing more Intricate (nstead of havIng to compensate for the fact th at I'm the o nly g uit a r on stage.

In almost every band I've been In I' ve been the onJy guitar player:' We turn nex t towhysoma ny hard rock bands seem to come o ut of Cana d a. I mention Bachman Turner Ove rdri ve. Rush, Trooper, and a veritable metallic h orde that seems to cross the border waving their amp stacks a nd light shows, '" do have my theories co ncern ing this m atte r :' gri n s Rlk. "The musi c scene up nort h Isa you ng, growing Indu stry, and as su ch, what has establi shed itself before as bei ng su(..-cess' ful Is hard r oc k . As far as co n cert promoters and bar ow n ers are con ce rned. that's what sells their beer the best ". and as far as musicians go, the only real big time that exists is In h a rd roc k . There hasn't really been a progreSSive band ,

"'The thing that was good about the guitar as opposed to anything else was the portabWty olit. and the fact that ithad a lot more connotations to it than just playing an instrument. because it was such a social thing," or aja..:..: thing out of Ca nada.

right back.路路 Could It be the effects, the m i rror bal l, t he explosions and the strobe lights? "I think the show Is Important:' admits


RUt. "but I shy away from the word rellanpe. because I would kind ofhat'e for people to think that we're that shallow. What you see coincides with the music. In fact. last night we played In Portland. and Oregon has laws about not using pyrotechnics. so we had to play without our 'pots. and It didn't seem to makeanydlfferenceat all. We don't need them. but we like It. and they're a hell of a lot of fun,"

I ask If they miss the bars. the one-on-one contact and the simple life of a struggling local band. "Not too much. We'll play In large halls some-

times. but more often small halls. SO we get a good healthy cross-section of experiences. crowd-wise. I like to run around with the kids. and this tour we have a plexlglass riser in front qfthestage with lights in It. and with my wireless gUitar. I have a lot of freedom to get as close to the audience as I want. And I'd have toadmlt f'd much rather work for people who are paying their money to see me as opposed to those paying their money to drtnk beer and pick Oghts."

Finally. we touc h on t h e albUms. Does Rlk see anevolution between each record. a document of a band growing and changing? "When we made the nrst album. we had only been together nine months. and I think that arrangeme nt-wise and playingwise. you can hear that on the record. A young band getti ng to know each other. and we were a IItUe stiff and extremely cautious. By the Game album. everyone was comfortable. so we weren't afraid to have floatIng sections that we could use for Interesting overdubs later. With the ProgressYons OJ Power album. we made a conscious attempt to go back to what Triumph InltlaJlyset out to do. which was to be a very high ene rgy rock experience. and try a nd tap the fac t that we had been together four years. The band is really In control of its own sound." Looking around the ruins of the Warfield. as Triumph ex its to cheers amtd the flame a nd n as h of World War III.

Now that the footage has been shot a nd the editing Is underway. h ow does Rudolph think hi s rock star actors com pared to regular Hollywood actors? "Rock stars are Irregular actors. I guess." he says with a pleasant ou tl ook on the whole thing. "Most of them play themselves whi ch Is dIfficult to do for a nybody. And I think they al l found a sense of humor In thal. which Is what I think makes the picture work. "But this Is a strange experience, when most of the cast, musicians or olheI'\vlse, was brand new - or at least had only been In a few films. When your sta r Is p re domlnanlly known as a rock star - Meat Loaf - but he's playlnga totally non-rock star person. the whole approach to makIng the film was different than If It had been very established veteran actors.

FIREFALL'S DESPERATE FRIVOLITY By Deane Zimmerman

Flrefall Is Mark Andes, Jock Bartley.

Larry Burnett. Mic hael Clarke. David Muse and RIck Roberts. After two solid gold albums and one platinum (wtth their fourth. Undertow. about to go goldl, a strtng of hit singles ("Just Remember I Love You," "Strange Way," and the latest

- "Headed For A Fall"). and numerous tours 8S an opening act, founder and spokesman Rick Roberts says: 'We want to headline," "When you're opening. your job Is to go out and rock 'em and sock 'em. and leave them gasping for breath," he said. 'When you're headllntng.yourresponstbUlty Is to take them on more of a journey. To explore morc of the aspects DC what you do. And It's more fun to take them on thatJoumey than to rock 'em and sock 'em:' Rick fonned the group as "bastcaJly a

plan to get our act together," he said. "and hopefully make enough money to s upport ourselves In the style to which we would like to become accustomed." Since he's FlrefaJl's main songwr1ter. a nd owns the publishing of most of the group's hits. he's achieved thai goal and has bought his house In Boulder. Colorado. "But one of the things our new manager said. and I dennttely agr-ee." said Rick. "Is that there was not a proper relationship between the amount of success we've had with our records and the amount of money we'd generated for ourselves. or the amount of business that we did as a concert act. AJI

""When you're opeDiDt. your job" to to out and rock 'em and aoek 'em. and leaft them ,uplDfforbreath.

"Everyone works toward headlining a show but a lot of that Is Just based on maintaining yourself In the business," he continued. "If you don't do some sort of bUSiness you don't stay around very long, and everyo n e wants to pursue their career, I feel lucky 'cause I get to make a IIvtng doing something that I would be doing anyway, There's a certain Inherent relationship between the more success you have a nd maintaining your career. HIf you're a good lawyer starting out. or you're a good plumber, you'll be able to

find work because for al l Intents and purposes there are an Infinite number of employers. Whereas on the other hand, If you're a good musician. there are maybe fifteen. twenty. or thirty e mployers In any one field of music that a re likely to book or sign a certain kind of act. And for whatever reason there are quite poSSibly many situations where a very worthy talent Is bypassed, Essentially you're Inasltuation where they can tell you no, you cannot pursue the career that you have chosen for yourself. sorry - you can't do It. Of course nobody can teU you that you can't play music. but If you want to be In the music bustness_.

"I don't know that we ever sat down and said 'Look. we want to headline'," he laughed. "but we all knew It. Irs a given that we want to headline. It never needed to be discussed - weaH knew that was the goal."

Calling from Los Angeles. where he was furthering hi s publishing career. Roberts talked about Flrefall's cua;tenl plans. They had been sched uled to open for Marshall Tucker Band but si n ce that tour was cancelled after the death ofMTB's bassist.

Tommy Caldwe ll. they were getting an路 other IOUf together. And even though their fourth aJbum had been released just

two months before this conversation took place. ruck said they were also planning to go back Into the studiO to begin working on their flfth. '1'hal way we could do It In little seg-

me nts rather than trying to do the whole th ing at one time:' said Roberts. "In the past we've gone Into the studio expecting to make the whole album, thought we had made the whole album. left the studio. and then had to go back in and do things over because we felt there were a few weak spots that should be shored up. So thiS time. rather than try and unde rtake the whole thing and perhaps lose focus on our vtslon and then feel In retrospect that we aren't totally pleased with It, we decided to do about four tunes at a time, One of the advantages of that would be to keep a fresh viewpoint throughout the making of the album ," Going out on the road between albums has given many bands a chance to test out the new material and regain some of the freshness lost In the countless hours spent In the studio, And while Ric k Is sure t hat Flrefall's tours have had that effect. whether t hey've been aware of It o r not. he feels that they haven'! always used tourIng lime to Its best advantage. 'We haven't a lways added In our new material until after we've recorded II." he said. 'We do try the new songsoul. but It's usually at the last momenl. before we go Into the studio. It's no t something that happens during the course of the natural progression or lime between albums. I think th ere's more of a growt h when you keep st retching out. At one point we were doing nothi ng that wasn't recorded -j ust the songs from the first album, As late as 1978 - with two albums out and a t hird o ne about to come out there was a period where we sunk Into that morass of stagnation," Although the group has a lways been Involved In the produc tion of their albums It's o nly on Undertow that they've give n themselves credit. "I write the songs so it's very dlrrtcult for me to stay out of the arrangement and production," said Rick, "and the same Is true for everyo ne." There's no particular reaso n why they were never listed before but according to Rick. "As you build tenure, they tend to give you a little more latitude, And Jock. who's been our liaison man with the art people since we didn't have management until recently, took It upon himself to add It In, He also added two words - desperate frivo lity' - on the back of the Inner sleeve a t the very bottom of the lyrics, That was what J wanted to cal l the album, Desperate Frivolity, but our producer didn't know what frivolity meant." he laughed, Prior 10 fonnlng F'lrefaJl.

Burnett a nd Muse were equal ly strong mUSicians. Surprisingly. they never had a problem working out a group sound. "Bu t there's definitely been a growth process. a melding of styJes as time has gone by." said Rick, "whlch I'm sure counts for part of the broadening (hat's taken place. When we started out maybe It was more InsuJarbut we weren't aware of It, We liked the way It sounded tlien and we like the way It sounds now. ''T he first ad that Atlanti c put out was 'Don't callus a supergroup', but we never said that. The concept of a supergroup never occurred to us. We knew that we sat In astrongerposltlo n forgettlngstgned to a contract by virtue of the fact that three or four of us had, as they say In the biz, a 'track record', but It was just a springboard to what we wanted todo, which was make record albums," There have been times in the band's history when everyone didn't ~et along, but now Rick says, "Everyth ing s peachykeen," "After 5 lh years we get along pretty weU, It's all the same guys that It was at the start and that must say something. What caused a lot of the turmoil as tI me went by wasn't ego, It was that we came to the band with matured mUSical Ideas, We weren't a bunch of kids who came off the

street with a consiste nt vision of o ne another. and s tarved together - we came from separate places, And a numberofus had bee n through It and, by benefit of our experience. felt th at we had a certa in educated guess as to the way to approach something, We all thought we were doing It the right \vayand we all had the best Interests of the band at heart but sometimes our methods were not the same," ruck defines rock & roll as "being a kid forever and having a good time" - but adds. "It's a lmost as Irt here's somebody there. some nebulous force. saying 路Now. looklt. If you' II be a kid. If you'll keep so me relationship with your youth going and If you can translate that, not only will we let )UU hang out and party - although rock & roll Is certainly not all fun and games. I('sa very hard way to make a ltv1ng -If you' I! do that. not only can you cruise around. but we'll give you a whole bunch of money.'

GENE SIMMONS SAYS IT'S HARD BEING SUPERMAN EVERY DAY The departure of Peter Crtss from the Kiss line-up was taken by Gene Simmons and the rest of KIss with a philosophical attitude that Indi cates how strongly Kiss feel about what they're doing. and how optimistic they are about the future of KIss.

"You create something togotherand at a certain point In

you,r life you grow. and you

make a decision to continue tn

a different direction," said Gene In discussing Peter's announcement that he wouki leave the band to pur.Jue a solo career. . "Peter Just got marrted, and they're happy, he wants kids, and he wants to change his

Itfemode. We're going on a work! tour In September. and Peter didn't want to do that But whatever he decides to do. he1J remain In the partnership of Kiss. which means he'll share In the money. we have control over what he does In his solo career. and. M a member of the corporatJon. he has control over what we do," For Gene. Paul, and Al%, the future of Kiss Is something

that they look forward to, He explained by saying. "The three of us bave a differen t vision of what's going on. I fed that ultimately we can make a dent - culturally and soctally - In mUSical history.

I'm alive And the dawn breaks across the sky I'm alive And the lun riles up so high Lost In another world all the way Never another word till today But what can I say I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive.

Suddenly came the dawn Irom the night Suddenly I was born here tonight How can II be real I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive.

Two up two down On the wrong side of town Joe ' s neon flashing Ihrough the broken glass surround A baby cries from the tenement below We were together then But that was long ago Now listen to the wind as It cries to me In vain She's up to town now And movln' on her game.

Caught in a slip stream Moved Into a bad dream I was ready for the let lag The worst trip I ever had Slip stream Oh you know I'm fallin' apart at the seams And I'm caught In a slip stream tonight. We used to play the mission Down on 5th Street north of Vine We did It all lor peanuls Didn't pay us for our time Then we started chaSing rainbows That were way above my head I tried to fly there with ya But my wings were made of lead Now I listen to the wind As It cries to me In vain She's up town now And movln' on her game.

think It's very original In Us own right :' The sou nd of rock and r oll Is heard throughout the Olm. howeve r. As Rudolph

In II f( nc wa s 1St' s.a~ R ld4 ph, he's really pi ("< bt funny, Also because he sort o f represen ts a s ummary. I think, of all the twists and turns o f mu s ic . I think h e's In g reat contrast to Blondlc," Speak ing of contrasts. there are a wide range of them , Including the parts played by Don Cornelius and Art Carney. 'Well , you see, there a re twoseparatc films gol ng on h ere: ' explains Rudolph. "O ne Is the Texas film, the Redflsh manor. Art Carney Is Travis' father. we basically keep c utting back to him as Travis longs for home or wh atever. Co rn el iU S, Is a real surpr ise, he's a comedia n, really funny, very a n imated . He plays Mohamed John so n the g reatest rock and roll p ro m ot er In the world , We don't deal In any subtleties In this film - we have th e greatest road ie In the world , the greatest promoter, and the world 'S greatest g rou pi e, w ho gets n o respect beca use s h e's a virg in. Yet It's do ne In a very sweet way."

says with a smile, "You name It. we use It. We've used music In every form I've ever encountered In film. We use H as score, as source. as effects, there are live record ings with Blondle dOing 'Ring Of Fire', A1Ice Cooper does a coup le of songs, Hank Williams. Jr. does a couple of son gs, we have a punk act In lAoThe soundtrack of the movie is different from the soundtrack album because there's no way to put all that music In th e film. We use bits and pieces of songs, we use whole songs In some cases. Cheap Tr ic k d oes ou r title song which we use a cou ple of Urnes, '" think thai the sound of the plctu re which Is where I am rtght now, 50 I'm consc ious of It - I th ink It's real state of t he a rt sou nd , Not Just the mus ic. but the way we use e ffects. Fort u nately the studiO (Un ited Artists) understood that we needed to do this In Do lby Stereo so we get to use al1 th e advantages of that." Rudolph 's ea rli e r c redit s Inc ludin g wrlllngAllce Cooper's tvspeclaJ. W elcome To My Nig htmare'. Although he says that experie nce really didn 't have much to d o wtth what happened In making Roadie. ' he d oes feel It was i'a good Intro to Alice. who I think Is one o f the really true comedians In the rock a nd roll world. "I'm Just a regular guy from the Valley who grew up to make movies," he says. "I've been living with thi s as we all have. and the thing Is th at It becomes more special. I see mus ic as narrative, ' think It is for ou r whole culture now, because very few peopl e read, a nd yo u ca n ' t trust televisio n, so movies have become the only form of reality a nd musi c Is the o nly form of a narchy. I think. " . Dealing with rock stars on the set as actors was so mething Rudolph says ,he : dldn't have much trouble with. ''I'm pretty : com fortable with actors. To me they're the most Important eleme nt. whether they're new ac to rs o r s ta rs , With out th em ob v10usly you don't have much , and also 1 like to c reate so me sort o f an atmosphere where th ey really contribute to the material , Meat Is surprising. but I knew that before we started, I mean hewas prepared , he had his c haracter down. he plays a real hero. He knew this g uy pretty well , which Is a ll you really ask of any actor - to know tha t character, so that yo u get the scene," In making the film. Rudolph says he thinks It was more fun than anything else. "The pic ture Is, even more thana rock and roll m ovie, II 's like pop funnies," In picking the rock personaJ llIes that are In the 0101 , va rious concerns were kept

Meat. Debbie Harty, and Allee Cooper were really becauae they were funny. I mean, Meat turna in what I consider a ~or dramatic performance,路 In summing up the film before release. Roadie will be getti ng out to your local Rudolph observes. "1I's a swec t movie - I thea ters as you read thi s, Rudolph has use th a t term because bas ically underhigh hopes for the film , "My two previous neath It all It's a really nl cc little love s tory films (Welcome To LA' and 'Remembe r My Name') nobody saw, I mean they came which wo uld probably be co rny In a no ther film. but we cast Meat Loa fa s the leadinj! out on as small a release as you can get. they were I guess arthou5e films o r wha t- man and a gi rl who wel!!hs abo u t a hu n dred pounds (Kakl Hunl('rl a s the eve r.

MARSHALL TUCKER PLANS NEW FUTURE

CHEAP TRICKS AND NU DISKS For decades now In England up-andcoming rock acts have worked their way from a fi r st Single to an ep (extended play 45 with three or four songs) to an Ip loften at a budget pt1ce until the band hits b ig, when the prtce goes up). But the U.S. music Industry has only fitfully attempted to make It less expensive for record buyers to get new mUSic. F'aithfully following an allor-nothing philosophy. there have been only sporatlc attempts at makJng It cheaper for buyers to take home a record by a new band In the hope that once they listen to it they'll be back for more at h igher pt1 ces. Recently Ep ic Records decided to try again, with 10" recoms they call 'N uDISks'. (Cynics might note that these new diSCS are the same size as disco singles, and now that disco Is dead the pressing mac hines have to be used for something). Each Nu-Dlsk has (our songs on It and sells for 84.98. WhIch tsn't much of a bargain, since each song costs 81.25 plus tax, where a regular 87.98 Itst price Ip with e ight songs costs the buyer 99垄 per song. But the hope Is that you, dear record buyer, wlll be more w1lling to take a chance on an unknown band at $4.98 than you would be at 87.98. The first four Nu -Dlsks released Include three by English bands: The Confldentlals. Propaganda. and New Muslk. and one by Cheap Tr1ck. How Cheap Trick got here takes a second t hough t. By making Cheap Trick one of the first Nu-Dlsk releases. It bt1n.gs attention to the whole concept (after all. they don't need the exposure) and also suggests the collector's J tern nature aT the Nu-Dlsk . The C h eap Trtck Nu-Dlsk has four songs , two fro m ea rly studio sessions and two from their 1977 live tour.

The untimely death of Tommy Caldwell from Injuries In a car accident saddened the rock world and dampened the spi ri ts of the surviving m em bers of the Marshall

Tucker Band of which Caldwell was a founding member. But a month after his passing, the band announced that they will continue to perform as a band wtth Franklin Wilkie. a long lime friend of the band. as a temporary replacement (or Caldwell . ''There's no way one person can replace a guy like Tommy:' said band spokesman Joe McConnell. "He was the heart and soul of the band. We know t hat Tommywould have wanted us to conti nue and everybody's real pleased with Franklin's playing,"
