Thanks Seven Slave, I'll check KIngs X out. I've been wanting to check them out anyway.

I bought a Marillion Album today. It's great stuff. Its very much on the classic dreamy, imaginary side, and the music is really good.

GREAT news and HORRIBLE news.

Great news, Joe IS playing CRUSHING DAY and I will flip out at the show.

Hi everyone. I can't wait until Tuesday...I want SBM now! LOL...

Joe - Thank you, thank you, thank you for working Crushing Day into the set for us for this tour. :-)

TheBob - Do you have Live In San Francisco? I know it's not from the SBM tour, but it is recent.

Harmoniac - I bet we'll be able to buy shirts once the tour starts. Although now that I think about it, that stuff might not end up on the website. I might be confusing Joe with someone else, but I thought I read somewhere that he didn't want people to go to his website and see a thousand links that say "buy this" or "buy that"...

JS Clone 1: Yes, I saw that too on HMV...

The Japanese release is available to buy...

Joe? You got a Japanese fetish or something? Probably your crumby record company... Ahh yes..... Sony = Japan

Why is the S.B.M. North American version not released in Canada until September? and yet The Canadians have to pay $45.00 for a Japanese release, that they can buy right away??

Heck...I'm glad I downloaded it for free now...

JOE, WHAT ABOUT PLAYING IN SAN ANTONIO TX.

YOU PASSED US UP THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES ON THE

G3 TOUR AND I KNOW YOU HAVE A STRONG FOLLOWING

HERE. PLEASE TRY TO INCLUDE US ON THE NEXT LEG OF

YOUR TOUR. TO SEE YOU AND DREAM THEATER ON THE

SAME NIGHT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE...............

Joe,

When all this awful hot will stop???? I’m sweaty all day and I look like a seal! What about you in the rest of north hemisphere? I didn’t find SBM yesterday, so went to the supermarket and bought a lot of chocolate! :-)

Sparrow: cool mum! Don’t say she’ll be the oldest, maybe her spirit is younger than younger people!

PhryDom: what did you do at your pc at that time??? Apparently you couldn’t sleep… You didn’t drink your relaxing tisane!

Have a good Sunday all!

I am no one special, but I would like to bring up a subject that seems to keep popping up constantly in the forum. So many people are talking about how Joe should not have went on tour with Dream Theater. I just wanted to give a little education about Dream Theater. Dream Theater is made up of 5 truly talented individuals. First and foremost in my opinion, there is John Petrucci. Now anybody who had heard about the outcome of the last G3 tour, or if you were also so fortunate to have gotten to see, you would know that John Petrucci absolutly took the crowd by surprise. He was unbelievable with his inhuman like speed on his riffs, and blew the roof off right with Vai, and Satch. John went to Berklee for some lessons which is where he met Mike Portnoy, and John Myung. Mike Portnoy has been named one of the top drummers in the world, and his precision is uncanny. John Myung is a highly intricuit bass player. His passion, and love for his instrument is what gives him his greatness. Jordan Rudess plays his keyboard like Joe plays Chrome Boy. He can transcribe virtually any guitar solo into keyboard, and harmonize with John, to make the coolest duo i've seen. I will be honest, James LaBrie does have a different sound to his voice than most singers, but it is this that gives Dream Theater their distinct sound. If you have tried listening to Dream Theater, and really can't get into them, try "Liquid Tension Experiment 1 & 2". This is a side project with Mike, John, Jordan, and Tony Levin. It is nothing but instrumental bliss. I am sorry if I have upset anyone, and sorry about the length of the post. I personally am awe'd by Dream Theater, and I can't wait to see them and Satch Master jam, and I just wanted to throw my little bit of info to everyone to possibly open minds. If I am wrong on any of this info, or you would like to tell me how you feel, post a message. If there are any other fans out there feel free to Email me.

JS Clone 1 - I guess you can buy it from cdnow.com or amazon.com, right?

KriztalPlanet - I'd say most people here love Dream Theater. If we had to choose a band to tour with Joe, DT band would probably be a top choice among the fans here. While it will be a great tour, most of us are bummed that we won't get as much live music from Joe. In the past we've been used to 2 1/2 - 3 hours of Satch...this time around we'll only be getting 90 minutes.

Hey Joe/Webmaster,

I agree about the sweatshirts. I really would love one!

2 days to SBM!!!!!!!

Hey, I'm learning Day at the Beach right now. It's so cool... So addictive!

Does anyone know where I can get one of those Whammy pedals Joe talks about in his LISF dvd? I got my guitar catalog (Musician's Friend) yesterday and it's not in there. My local music stores I'm pretty sure don't carry it. Help me out? Thanx.

MinD StoRM kicks azz.

Peace

PhrygDom - I have a new e-mail, so you should be able to send me that stuff now... dontspillmybeer@hotmail.com

L8rs, Neil.

Kriztal Planet, I agree with you and I support you now. Good post :)

Its Stu Not Boo, Ethn, And Michelle: Thank you for your feedback it feels good to have the same likings as as others. Michelle, I posted about this before, but I'll post it again to see if it helps you. I seen that Houston tickets were goin on presale on the 18 earlier this week, instead of having to wait till the 22nd. I went on there and waited, and when the page activated, all it said was "These tickets are only available through AllAccess.cc, or something similar to that, and it gave a link. I clicked on it, and it was through Clear Channel communications, and you had to pay $60 a year to take advantage of this. Well I wanted to see Joe bad, and I go to quite a few concerts, so I figured what the hell? I went through, and signed up, and it said ok, now that you've chosen your tickets, you need to remember this password, or passcode, something like that, and I was like concentrating on the passcode tryingto remember it for sure. There was a link to go back to ticketmaster, I clicked on the link and it brought up a totally different ticketmaster page, nad said "Presale Member". I didn't even need the password, I guess it logged me in. I ended up getting 12th row, and all 5 tickets in one place like I wanted. I'm happy, even though it was not as close as I was at G3. Hope you find this useful. I think it sucks that you have to sign up with something to get that advantage, but I'd pay anything to see Joe, or Dream Theater, and totally if in one concert. I'll probibly cry like a damn baby when I have to leave the concert... LOL
