Will say this one more time: in a literal sense...Jimi lost against drugs. Loser = someone that loses / has lost. Winning and losing is not a "one or the other" kind of thing. You win some, you lose some. Everyone is a winner and a loser to some extent. It's called life. Therefore I can call you (or me) a loser, with no fear of being incorrect. Therefore I can call Jimi a loser, with no fear of being incorrect. To say someone is an overall or complete loser is completely different. I am in no way doing that. So stop thinking so hard in pop culture and it's meaning of words.

That was my point from the first place.

the first person who called jimi a loser today ment a loser..in an extremely negative way...i guess he did lose to drugs..but usally when people just call someone a loser...it's implying that they are a bad person..and i'm pretty shure its what that person implyed (not talkin' about you Artanis, i generally agree with what your saying) .....but anywho :)

Anyone heard Payable On Death yet? I hope it's better than that Satellite album. Fundamental Elements of Southtown was the one.

I bought 1/2 a dozen CDs yesterday: POD "Fundamental etc" 1999...(finally, instead of borrowing all the time), Foo Fighters "One By One" 2002 (already have it, will give it to someone), Hoobastank 2001, Incubus "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." 1997, Linkin Park "Meteora" 2003, The Butterfly Effect "Begin Here" 2003. Combined total: A$34.80. That's somewhere around $25US. Weep.

I guess I should stop doing that. I know what he meant and what he said literally are not the same. I get caught up in picking out the literal meanings of sentences.

This is by far not the first time I've "defended" someone's statement in this way. Each time I disagree with their intended meaning but agree with their literal wording...the word pedant springs to mind.

Sorry to cause such needless arguing Zach, Quito & Aimless...

962 I didn't know about the Hillclimber...sounds pretty cool though. Power is good, but you really only need so much when going to work. It's kinda like someone who buys a car that can go 280 mph....it's like buying a 36 hour clock lol!

O.K., so much for the Barry White song. Damn, foiled again!

PhryDom, www.sharonosbourne.com will tell you all about it.

Hendrix not a decent person?? I thought he was very cool and way beyond his time. If it's the drugs he did that make you feel that way - well, that kinda wipes out half the music industry...

Invigor, I can only think of two words to sum up my thoughts on your travel - holy shit!!! So glad you got to meet the guys too!

tapper5 - The Steve Morse DVD is titled Sects, Dregs, and Rock 'N' Roll. It's awesome.

I met up with a guy at the 10/18 G3 show who flew to Los Angeles from Germany. His name is Mathias and he's posted here a few times. I can't remember his username right now, though...geeze, I have a bad memory.

You should be able to cancel your preorder at Amazon so you can buy it through this contest as soon as the details are worked out. Keep in mind, though, that you'll probably pay more for the DVD buying it through Sony's store than you would through Amazon or CD Universe.

The Big Question - Is it worth the possible extra money for a chance to win an autographed copy when you will most likely be able to meet Joe at a future gig and have him autograph it in person?

I just got back from G3 at the Beacon Theatre, and let me just say, I was totally blown away! I knew I was in for a treat, but I was not expecting a show of that magnitude. The guest appearance of John Petrucci and Neil Shon was awesome. Thanks for a GREAT show. Keep on rockin! Hey, when do tickets for next year's show go on sale?

Sincerely,

templar...no sweat man...i'm glad the guitar is cool though! Olly, I added you to my msn contact liste - my email addy for that is satch3d@hotmail.com (old scnreen name lol)

michelle - happy 900 girlie..

top idea bro.. I'm wondering if shimming the 3rd and 4th to shorten the radius would be best in my case..

most players know very little theory.. not knowing it doesn't really hurt too much.. and knowing it won't make you a better player...

However, knowing it would certainly give you more options when improvising and writing

you're diffinately better off know more than less.. but if you're not too bothered about it and pretty happy as you are then there's no point in breaking a sweat over it either...

the most important thing is that you love playing

that night I'm sitting in front of Cubase inputting my ideas from the train..

being able to hear the whole band and the whole orchestra in my head and then notate what I hear has huge advantages.. you never know when you're going to get inspired... it don't always happen when you're sitting with a guitar or in front of a piano... it just happens.. so it's very cool if you can capture it.

my situation is that I have no regular band.. so I write and sequence the backing tracks.. so most important to me was a PC with Cubase and a nice keyboard workstation [like my Korg Triton].. this is essentially a 'writers suite'...
I added the 16 track later...

if you have a band with a drummer, bassist etc.. all you need is a nice portasudio [like the Yamaha AW16G] and a couple of nice general purpose mic's [like Sure SM58's]

so what exactly is your situation...

Hi

is the new anthology going to be available in the UK from Nov 18th? I've checked all the usual sources (101cd.com, cdwow,hmv) and there's no mention of it.
