What do you know.... Thanks Austin, for taking your time to explain it to me. Now I can impress all my friends with yet another little detail about the English language..... LOL

Twice Yayo!!....You gotta be good to break up a three peat, and you couldn't ask for a better guy (gals ncluded) to break it up....lol :-)....BTW Austin....That must be part of JOE's alien sense that allow's him to do that ;-)....And good luck on the aftershow draw!!

Hey Quantum: I agree about the Kurt issue....He will be more remembered for his lyrical skills than anything else...I think the people who voted F'd up or just wanted to see his name up there....Sorry, but they didn't have anything positive to say or play in their music......BTW....Got SBM in every day as well as a newly bought "Mother Heads Family Reunion" (Kotzen)..My boy has got some talent there....I can almost sing like him...."A Woman & A Man" is simply beautiful......Can't play like him though....believe me, I'm practicing :-0

Go easy on ELPP guy's....He's been here a long time and is a bonifide friend!! He hooked me up with a great Satch gift that I will cherish!!....As you know, somethimes what you write online doesn't come out the way you mean :-}....Go with the flow....

Michelle: Thank God your O.K.!!!! It wasn't you time girl, and I'm sure you we're like "F-No, this guy aint gonna hit me!!!" I've had those situations before, and it just stops your heart!!! Please don't scare us anymore ;-)

As soon as I get a chance I will be checking out your stuff Colin...and your new stuff Pete :-)

Guitar's, Guitar's, Guitar's....They rule my life, besides my wife!! (and there's no other way I would have it!!) lol, did that rhyme?? ;-)

Peace all in SatchLand../\/\ike

Yoda - I got news from the custom shop... they won't be shipping my new girlie until 2nd of Sept.... so I won't have it for the tour...... totally gutted.... because I have no 2nd 7-string I can't risk going on stage with only one... I've had to drop tune two of my guitars to B so that I can play the set... There are a few problems with this...

All the lead parts are in different positions so I have to relearn a whoe bunch of solos...

I lose some of the really high notes so I've have to rewrite some of my solos to accomodate this..

50% of the set requires a 'sub-E' guitar so I have to change guitars throughout the gig and pretty often.

I now have a pair of guitars tuned at concert and a pair in B.. this means different string guages, truss rod settings, bridge / spring settings... which is such a pain in the butt. I also now have to take four guitars and I only intended to take two 7's...

The strings are floppy even though I've up-guaged to Ernie Ball [skinny top / heavy bottoms] which are a 10 / 11 guage hybrid.

I can't believe that I have missed your tour Joe ... bad personal things have been happening recently... mostly in the area of work so I took my eye off the ball looking for tour dates...is there any chance of you coming back to the UK? Personally I'd travel anywhere in the UK to see you live (having seen you three times previously)...

Any ideas on how we can see you apart from flying to the US?

Desperate dude from Birmingham, UK

Hey joe. I just became a member on your site. IT'S SWEET.

I am coming to see you in cleveland september 3

Hey Joe. I've been playing guitar for 5 years. I am 11 years old and i watch my DVD of G3 live at least 4 times a day. I have both G3 tours. On the first one I watch you play Cool #9, flying in a blue dream and Summer Song. I play Summer song and we are learning cool #9. but i still have to get the RP200 multi effects pedal then I can do cool #9

Joe,

Austin, yes sir, I was in a line of cars. I guess this guy seen a break in oncoming traffic, & with the jeep turning he thought it was clear to go. He had a HUGE blind spot with the jeep turning right & blocking his view to my lane of traffic. It was really an assanine thing to do. You NEVER pull out or make a turn if you can't because another vehicle is blocking your view. The crazy thing is, the drug store messed up a prescription and I had to go back to straighten it out - my third time there that day. My 10 yr. old son was with me on my previous trip, but decided to stay home with my daughter this time. He would have been sitting in the front passenger seat (I don't have airbags) which is right where the car almost hit me. I don't even want to think about what could have happened. I just made sure to give thanks for what didn't.

Ovation, I'll try bro, I'll try! lol!

Climber, you know it! Thanks :)

hey ppl, i'd just like to confirm: did Joe say that he will be touring Asia in the fall and doing the "evening with..." tour in US during winter?

Hey Joe,

Have you ever worked with an English Guitarist called Jimi Savage before? He's been teaching me for 3 years now and i've just become heavily envolved in your music.

I'd love to know how austin managed to post so much on the old TTJ forums - he must have waited for the 4 hours mark!!!

I never noticed the three-peat gag before!!! lol

heya Joe!

I'll be up to see ya' in about 9 hours(hope traffic isn't too crazy). Have a great show! I've meet you twice(the last time you played Tucson and last G3 in Phoenix) and both times, I thought of things I should've said/asked after I had left..... Kinda' funny how that always happens. I'm sure I'm not the only person that does this. Hell, I was thankful to be standing in the same room with you...

Anyway, we all know it's gonna' be a kick ass show.

i got a question for anyone really..

Mr Nick - Your math is off somewhere. The new site went live on June 12. So from then to now is 56 days of me posting on T2J. I've made 160 posts (not counting this one), so that comes out to an average of roughly 3 posts each day, or one post every 8.42 hours. If you don't count my vacation (because I posted a lot less), I've posted an average of 4 times each day, or once every 6.18 hours. Well, it's much too early fo me to be doing math like this, so I'm going to stop now. ;-)

Quantum - Yes, that's basically what Joe said.

stu hacking - I didn't really post that often on the old T2J...I'd post maybe 3 times per day. But if you look through the archives I made sure I'd keep my posts as close to the four hour mark as possible, so I can get a last post in right before I go to bed (around midnight). LOL, I had this thing down to a science, didn't I?

TOADFISH , glad to hear you had a great vacation. whats this about you being on C4 ????? Yeah , I got your photo's , thx man , they were really cool , thought I might reduce the file size and put them up on your website , and this site , in the road section , if you want ??
