Artanis I Sultana: Oh yeah, thank's for the Alligator correction, lol, your even more of a wrestler than I thought!!.... BTW, Narface tried to take over your position, lol, but he will be the Gong playa!!.... ;-)

Stu Clone: Yo Yo Yo 700!!....

death cube K: I think I already told you, but I'll say it again.... Happy Birthday!!....

mick87: lol, my HFH (harmonics from hell) will be included on my Terrifying Cowbell Trip dvd!!....It's ok to let the word out cause no one has a cowbell like mine....With Mike Manning as my Zemaster Cowbell tech, no on will stop me!!....BTW, I just read When the Glock Strikes Midnight: A Tutorial For the Crappy Beginner has become a bestseller!!....hehe ;-) BTW, take care of that ankle bro!!....It's real easy to twist it again, I've done it many times....MAN, THAT HURTS!!....

The Prez: ZAKK owes everything to Ozzy (although I think Ozzy should retire also, lol), but I read somewhere that they want ZAKK to clean his act up or else he's out....He's a drinking machine, and seems out of control....BTW, I like the pic's, especially the one with JOE beating up the SBM haters, lol!!....

Narface: Congrat's, and here's your ASAHI!! Goooonnnnggggnnnnggggggg!! ;-)

962: lol, King Of Clubs is great, and Raw Blues Power has it's moments, but it is more of an original blues style that may be hard for you to get into....If they have Burning Organ I would get that with KOC....Good cross there, and Alligator Farm has some good stuff too....Two Become One (Spice Girls remake) which is awesome, and his best Instrumental (IMHO) Let The Computer Decide is on there!!....He plays a 7 stringer for that one....All out balls to the wall!!....If you got the $$, get all three, lol, and same on Kotzen....His newer stuff is great cause he's really refined his playing style....lol, spend that quid!! ;-)

Do The Stu: What's up with the bouncer only receiving a 4 month jail term?!?!.... That's crazy....

gleed: Havent heard Ihoujin, lol, but isnt Sakai the same star that Marty Friedman is touring Japan with as her guitarist?? edit: I see that was Aikawa Nanase that Marty played for, lol.... I'll have to check out that other stuff you were talking about

Sky_Ant: Thanks for the review, and CONGRATS!!....

....Saw a Jaco (some kind of "re-visited") cd the other day, and it had some killer bassist's on there doing remakes, I believe, of Jaco' stuff....Is it any good??

Edit: mick87: All three artist's are great, but may I suggest Mike Stern' Between The Lines!!!!....More Melodic stuff in there than SATCH!!....Well, almost....lol Mike will blow you away!!....

JOE!!! Can't wait to see the DVD!!! Please make it longer than the first one?

Mick: no wrath brought forth this time. Lucky for everyone, really.

"Thunder from Down Under" is a term we usually hear in reference to ManPower (male stripshow tour), but I think in general it's whatever the heck you want it to mean.

TomSr/Austin/Mick: that's how I did it...

If correction of the day wasn't "crutches" then it's "make sure you include http:// or the link won't work"

Ovation - lmao.. would you look at that, my book has hit #1 in Fiji! They always did love me there, lol... best of luck with the Dvd, heh... And the ankle is feeling a lot better, well compared to before. The Mike Stern one sounds good, thanks bud!

Artanis - LOL Dude, are you serious?! Maybe we should call you the Attack From The Outback or something instead, just so the ladies aren't confused.

ome: it's a black shortbox sierra with the rounded rear fenders, there's a word for tht but i forget what it is...

sidestep on the box, thats it!

anyways, 2 sleeps until i see joe!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!

Artanis I Sultana: lol, I wont tell anyone about you not seeing any Croc's, lol, hehe, and Attack Of The Penguins!!....My gosh, 1 foot tall!!....At least you can out run them!! ;-)

Maybe he should play the windchimes?!?

The Prez

Dude, that is an amazing pic, as if it's from Kill Bill or something, haha

I assume thats not the latest promo shots of Joe from Sony Records, so how'd you do that??

Thanks, Alex.

ovation1 - I've seen that Jaco "tribute" CD as well. It's probably a great buy, but I'm going to hold off on it until I am more familiar with Jaco's other albums.

If you want a good place to start, get his self-titled solo album or Weather Report's Heavy Weather. For those in the US (sorry, Mike...LOL), CD Universe is selling these albums for $9.95 each. They are both a steal at that price.

EDIT - The first person to discover the identity of the "reviewer in California, USA" (read the reviews at the bottom of each page) will receive ten points in the "Hey! Austin wrote a few reviews for CD Universe!!!" competition.

mick87: hehe, Mike to the 3rd....lol, now that would make quite a G3, lol....

Artanis I: I like your new hometown United States o Australia ;-)

OCP - Oh right, Gollum... thanks for the reminder. When i'm bored and home alone, that's what i'll do.

Wow...that was fast. The ten points go to Mike aka ovation1, the neo-classical cowbell virtuoso. Congratulations. Save your points...when you get 100 you can redeem them for a brand-spankin'-new cowbell-striking mallet.

Do The Stu: lol, I edited my last post, you might have missed the rest....I'll keep my 10 point's, lol ;-)

Artanis- thanks so much for the laughs about the penguins! you are so brave... :)
