Just now rolling in from a killer gig tonight (err, hmm last night).

What a blast. Still trying to come down, so I thought I would pop in.

Joe - I can image what it must be like for you when you're touring pretty heavy. I'm sure after a while things seem to settle into a routine, but I was wondering... Do you find yourself needing to wind down after each performance or does it depend on how well you "felt" the show went? Is there an after-show ritual you follow to come down? Just curious.

I'm really looking forward to catching one of the "Evening with..." dates up in LA. (Any chance you would like to help a young up and coming instrumentalist? Need an opening act?? ;-) Ah, one can dream, right?

Anyway, have a safe trip back from Hong Kong.

I did it again!! Thank's PhrygianDominant......When I read your "gimme that phone", I said it in a JOE voice!! LOL, thanks dude....Amazing, isn't it....what words can make you do :-)

drafter37: Sounds like a great way to install carpet in the house, lol....On the video question....JOE does not move around too much either....He must be saving his energy for his fingers, lol!!

I had a great nite....I was even singing "FRIENDS" in my head while in the shower, lol, there never goes a day without JOE in it!! I wouldn't have it any other way........ "I believe" :-)

Peace all, /\/\ike

phryiandominant... have you looked in Webster's Dictionary to see what an idiot you are yet? You claim that you are so educated and that people with English as a primary language should know the dictionary. Maybe you should do a little reading my friend. I hear that you like to "salt every snail". If you want to claim that you are so educated with the English dictionary, try reading it again. You are surely mistaken. Time for your grammar and vocabulary lesson.

Ever hear the expression or vow "Speak now or forever hold your peace"? www.websters.com states that the 3rd definition for "peace" is .....freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions..... as in "I speak my peace". That is totally correct and if you did a little reading you would find that "piece" is an animate object. "speak now or forever hold your piece" NOW THAT IS FUNNY! Did you get that or do you need another grammar lesson on the difference between peace and piece and how to use it correctly in a sentence? I am very educated but it only took 3rd grade to teach me how to use that expression.

Michelle.... Typical bully answers. Do you need another pair of husky pants too? They say you are getting a little too big for your britches.

Joan, do you really want to know who is throwing stones and living in glass houses?

lets all fight and show our IQ.

Dragonchild, I don't think you are wrong. Yes, Michelle likes to "joke" about getting together with the band members on occasion ....Which is a pity. Would you want to hear your mother (or wife) joking about being with another man? Or would you want to read groupie chicks saying that about your father or husband? It is offensive to some including me so I "speak my peace".

Is it that hard to be funny without acting like a tramp? Are trampy jokes the only way to be funny? Must one make jokes about being with another that is married and committed? If you don't have the respect for one's own family not to do that, have the respect for the person we all love.

Hey Satchaholics

Has anyone heard anything on perley yet??????????? I hope Joe gets him/her back...

Cheers

guitarzbabe: "Lighten' up Francis"!!!!!! (Quote taken from a funny movie)....

booyah.

Ovation1, Hetfield's voice is EXACTLY how it came out of my head, with the guitar riffs right behind it :) Man, you had me worried for a second. I thought you were singing the theme to Friends on tv in the shower! LOL!!

Song of the day ~ So Fucking What by Metallica :)

guitarzbabe, take it to my mailbox. You're really making yourself look lame. Did you get beat up alot as a kid? What is it with you calling me a bully? LMAO!! I voice my opinion and I'm a bully, but you voice yours and your just saying your PEACE. You sooooo have issues. Therapy might help with that multiple-personality thing you have going on too. Just use your REAL name and stop hiding behind nics. Your talking to thin air on here now. If you want me, you know where I'm at. It's been fun. ta!

edit** you wrote - "It would be such a shame if people couldn't speak their peace. But it is even more of a shame to say whatever one wants to say knowing it offends others. "saying whatever you want whenever you want" isn't always the right thing to do even though we are lucky enough to have that right. Just have a little class and respect for Joe and his family here."

If I spent my life worrying if what I said was going to offend somebody, I wouldn't be living much of a life. Censoring myself for YOUR benifit will never happen. Life is for LIVING. I don't think I said anything offensive in my post to SHARON (not YOU). I didn't know I should have run it by the Southern Belle Etiquette Committee to see if it was proper for a lady to speak her mind. Maybe you should lighten up instead of standing there pointing fingers at everyone who isn't "proper" enough for your little world.

Joan, thanks - love ya!

Matt, do you also do P.T. poke & Cadillac slap? LOL!!

GEEZUS!!! It is "a lot". not "alot". lol.

"take it to my mail box" ...."take it outside".lol ummmm. don't know where we are getting the idea you're a bully.

all of us using nicknames must have multiple personalities.
