r6r- what stuff did you start off with playing? It was Metallica that originally got me to pick up the guitar. Then, when I found out that Kirk took lessons from a guy named Joe Satriani, I figured I'd look into it. Needless to say, that took me into a different world.
Tendinitis sucks!!! I always have to start off slow and simple when I play and then gradually build up more speed and stretches. And my wrist still hurts sometimes!!

ZAXIMUS - What got me into playing ? Well early on it would have been Deep Purple and Black Sabbath and Queen in terms of 'noticing' guitar playing but about the time i started playing I guess it was the NWOBHM. Confused? Thought so (lol) New Wave Of British Heavy Metal - Saxon, Tytan, Angelwitch and a whole host of other bands that you would probably not have heard of. Early guitar gods? Yngwie, Uli Jon Roth, Joe, Steve (all around the mid eighties) oh and of course AC/DC, Metallica and Anthrax and most of the artists signed to Roadrunner Records.

NWOBHM? Yeah! Diamondhead, Blitzkrieg, Misfits. I wasn't really aware of it when it was happening (I was in grade school). But I've read about it. That's what influenced a lot of my influences (so I'm a 2nd generation NWOBHM'er)

ZAXIMUS - Diamondhead yes, Blitzkreig and Misfits were more Punk. Punk was late '76 - '80ish, NWOBHM was '79 to mid '80s. No guitar solos in Punk was the main difference, well in terms of the 'principle' of it. God that was along time ago................ Am I Evil........... are you f**k (lol)

Mr Nick - thanks for the Joe interview link. Wow, was it just me, or did the tone of the interview seemed tense and hurried? The questions could have been a bit better, but Joe's answeres were really short. Granted, it was cool that Joe did the interview, considering it wasn't a big name site, but I felt bad for the interviewer. Maybe Joe was just really busy.
An example of what I'm talking about:
Q: Are there many outlets, especially radio, that cater to your style of music?
A: Yes.

Invigor - Bad!
Viking5150 - Damn straight. My fave tracks are Babushka, Burning Rain, Iberian Jewel, Giant Balls of Gold, Principessa, Brandos Costumes and the solos to Black Forest and Burning Rain blow my mind.
Austin - Thanks for checking those videos out. A friend and another performer of that concert was filming. I was confused with the delay to view the guitar solo aswell.
Clarky - The biggest clip on that site is not even 4mb. The other 2 are even smaller. It shouldn't take you more than 6 minutes to d/l the largest one.
Clarky, I gotta ask someone from Britain; I watch a lot of Monty Python and a word that often comes up in the dialogue is the word "git". I take it as some form of insult. What does it mean?
After 2 days of being away from T2J, Happy b-day Clarky.
DannyK - So I hear you're playing in, Pickering was it? I think... with Nick Lee opening up for you? I'll very most likely be there.

JSC1 : 'git' is a word that normally refers to a miserable lonely old man... but it can also be applied to just about everyone that you want to be nasty too...
i'm not saying that clarky is an old git... before i get told off by someone... mentioning no names...
sorry to butt in clarky...

Hello Dear Joe and Joe fans...
I am new in here and I have a question... I don't know if it's too personal, but I'll appreciate if someone who knows the answer or even Joe himself answers my question...
I wonder what's the place of GOD in Joe's life? Does he have the Lord in his life? I just assume he has and I want to find out... I also would like to find out if he has any songs dedicated to our Lord?
Joe is such a great artist, such a beautiful person, a great talent... he is a blessing to our world... I love him, not only for his music but his great personality... He is one of us, among us... not like other so famous stars...
Every time I listen to Joe, I thank God that He blessed us with a such great talent...
I appreciate your answers...Please do not take this post as a means to start a Believer versus non-believer thread. If you do not agree with this post, I ask that you please respectfully decline to comment.
Thank you,
John

Hi joe, I just got into your music from my girlfriend's dad, who probably is the biggest fan of yours that i know to date. Anyway, his 50th birthday is coming up on Oct. 15th, 2002. And me and my gf don't know what to get him. Since he loves your music and stuff, I was wondering if you could plan something in the future to call him and talk to him to wish him a happy birthday or meet him sometime and jam on the guitar. He plays the guitar also and he is rather good. We went to your's and dream theater's concert when you guys came to pittsburgh and you should've seen the smile on his face. I know this would make his 50th really special if you could do this. If you can't, I understand, I mean, I'm just a 16 year old fan from Pittsburgh. But, if you could let me know somehow that would be great. Thanks for reading this and hopefully you can make his big 5-0 special. Your fan, Mark

Whojack, know what's funny? Me too!!! LOL!!!
I picked up the AC/DC~ For Those About To Rock cd today. I had it back in the day, but it disappeared somewhere over the years. They were my favorite band back then. Man, this cd rocks!! I forgot how much I loved Inject the Venom and the rest of the songs. lol! I heard the first riff of that song and it stopped me in my tracks. Whoooo! Goosebumps! lol! Lots of good memories are tied to this old cd. Music IS the soundtrack of life.
Just Keep on Breakin' The Rules!

Alex: I thought so... after all, we're neighbors. Just keep it in writing, though, I'm not sure I would understand you if we were talking face to face. ;)
If anyone was curious of what I was telling Joe to say to the crowd at his next concert in Stockholm, Sweden, it translates like this: "Hi, my name is Joe and I'm pretty good at playing guitar." Not very exciting, no... Hey, if you have suggestions on what Joe should say while he's here, post it here and I'll translate it for ya'! LOL

Special thanks go out to Mr. Udo and Aki, Space, DJ Richard Walker, Mr. Sha and family, and all our friends at Epic/Sony Music for taking care of us so well...Hey Narface, see you next time!....Now I've got to get some sleep...Joe
