The NAMM experience was great! The two hour wait to get in a see Joe perform for the Peavy Amp folks was well worth the wait. Joe was very personable, as always, and it was great to be up close for his playing. And the amp sounds pretty good to.

Thx for the mini-show Joe!

do the stu- you and your humour... i heard it was february 29th - oh wait, that doesn't work this year... it is really odd though... it's hardly as if there's loads of new material and they want americans to be spoiled with all the new goodies... like they could have with something like live in san francisco... normally UK get the album releases a day before you americans... maybe it's going to have a simul-release with the new album called "we'll try and do this here again, sometime soon"

crushingday62 - If you can only hear the audio, chances are it's because you have a slow internet connection.

G3 is Joe's thing. I'm sure he'll be the only guy to sign the covers.

Remember that once a firm US release date was set, it was pushed back by about a month. If the UK version was decided to be released in early January way back then, the same reason the US release was delayed is probably what is delaying the UK release. Does that make sense? LOL.

Also, maybe Steve's holding off on it to release it a little closer to the summer European tour.

Hey all, new member. First post so i'll make it count.

tastey - I think that some of the reasons that these guys appear to know so much despite you not saying much is that:

1 - you can give away some information without even realising it... like during the opening introductions.. "hi.. I'm Stace.. sorry I'm a little late.. hubby didn't leave the car keys in the usual place and I had to hunt them down.."

which reveals... you are married... still together... you most likely only have one car and not one each.. and depending upon the tone you say this in will also hint as to your feelings towards hubby..
capturing info like this and making reasonable assumptions from it is what these guys do all day every day.. they therefore listen in a resolution that you are totally not used to and process this information in a predetermined and calculating manner... so even the simplest, seemingly meaningless and most ordinary comments are little probes to guage your reactions and answers.. not all of this stuff takes the form of explicit questions... you'd be surprised at the huge amount of information people give away during the opening small talk.....

2 - 99% of all people are mentally frail, insecure, assume that they are generally inferior in one way or another, have similar desires and aspirations [the usual big ones - wealth, health, happiness... etc], many suffer with some kind of sense of loss [mum.. dad... split / died... girlfriend / wife... lost forever / cheated].. feel that you deserve better [not paid enough.. not enough recognition for what you do].
these guys start figuring you out at the start and then quickly apply you to one of their preset plans of attack.. and when they start drawing a blank or hitting a dead end they'll find out a little more about you and move to plan 'B'....

ok.. my mistake, things are a little misty.. of course.. it's getting clearer.. you dont have a car 'right now' of course [little reassuring smile]... but I'm looking further into your future.. and I do see a car though... you will be getting one I'm quite sure.. 'when' is quite not so clear to me.. maybe a year or two?? [she knows you drive and only have one car... a year is nice and far away / non commital]... yes.. I see you getting a car.... and then a bird will shit on it.... and you will vow to get it one day...

and so on...

psychics hate me....
A - I deliberately give away as little as possible...
B - I lie to them and then change my mind and then contradict myself somemore
C - I think they are all criminals
D - I'm a complete fucking idiot that they'll get no sense from - esspecially as I believe nothing about everything they say

shrinks and 'see-ers'... they are all criminals....

see-ers should be in jail
shrinks should only tend to those that are genuinely mentally dissabled and are in great need of medical assistance - schizo's, paranoiacs, psycho's, sociopaths.. manic depressives, those with ADHD and such..

dealing with the pain of being alive and a human being that pays too much tax, would like to earn more, be in a relationship that was closer to their utopian model.. have a bigger house, smaller ass, nicer tits, straighter / whiter teeth, no loans, etc .. etc is all stuff that best mates help each other with.. no need to spend money.. just have a couple of really good budz that you'd trust with your life... budz that care greatly for each other...

this is just my take

and before you tear into me with a big stick.... please note that I'm not suggesting that you are a neurotic peasant with a fat arse, crap tits and no mates... lmao

keep an eye on the car tho... lmao...

Question for all guitarists in here.......Is it just me, or does anyone else play air guitar in their sleep? My girlfriend laughs at me because sometimes I'll be chording or soloing when I'm resting my hand on her. Then she'll politely tell me to stop playing and get some sleep...lol.....I wish I could remember which songs I'm dreaming about ;)

michelle - I just can't do the psychic thing... or any supernatural thing... it's not even as if I'm sceptical.. I can't do religion.. I can't do any kind of faith stuff... for a reason that I don't understand.. this stuff just has no effect on me...

if there is a hell... I'll guess I'll be there a while burning in it.. lol

1st - undo the screw on the underside of the bridge plate..
2nd - took off the washers
3rd - put a few turns of plumbers tape in the grooves lastley.. refitted everything and tightened up the screw...

it worked ok..

thanx for the suggestion.. I'll try it..

Clarky: lol man, these cuts never have time to heal, lol!!.... The mark of a great Okinawan Karateka is in the hands.... Look at the knuckles and they will have calouse upon calouse (sp?) on the first three.... The mark of dedication, lol ;-)

btw, on .. no need to spend money.. just have a couple of really good budz that you'd trust with your life... budz that care greatly for each other... I agree 100% bro.... There is one person that will stick with you through think and thin, good times and bad.... A good friend (and a dog, lol).... No one can take that way, lol.... It also work's for your mate, but not in everyones case....

r6rocker: I gotta say in michelle's voice: F the F'in F'ers!!, lol man, good thing you saw that note!!.... You got a headstart on a new job, and you can play the game with him and bail out when your ready.... Best of luck to ya bro!!.... I need to find a better job myself.... The guy's I work with want to sleep with the airplanes at night.... They never want to go home man, crazy shit; dedication is one thing, but kiss-assing over-dedication is another, lol....

Do The Stu: hehe, lol man, I knew you've been an Aerosmith fan for a longer time than you've been a SATCH fan.... That's why I was ribbin' ya, lol, and I think you will change someday, hehe.... Les Paul's all look the same, IMHO, and the JS Series is unique.... Plus it's got JOE's name on it!!.... Did I sway you yet, hehe....

Narface: Gung hei fat choi bro!!.... lol, I was gonna post that today (Thursday), but you beat me to it, ;-).... Lot's of people celebrate it here to (Okinawa), and here more than the Mainland cause the Oki's were (and still are) very close to the Chinese since waaaay back in the day.... Here it is called Kyu-sho....

JS JP 41: Welcome to the SATCH Realm!! :-)

mikesb - folks that check out my cd and vinyl collection think I'm a complete headcase... 70's prog, metal, hard rock. delta / Chicago / Texas blues, Baroque, traditional Okinawan / Irish / North African / Indian / Zulu / English folk music, Jazz, be-bop, funk, hip hop, fussion, classical, romanticism, synth stuff [Jarre, vangelis etc], film music, nu-metal, rap-metal, fussion, trance, ... and the list goes on...

haha... but no pop... no country.. and no post modernism...

so what frightens you??? lol..

Is there a moderator in the house? If there is, just to let you know, I have been viewing and posting message here for a while. I don't have that many posts, but I have been trying to read as much as I can of the site. But, I have elected to stop viewing this message board because you have allowed the foul language to get way out of hand. Maybe you don't have any standards. That is okay if it is your choice. I am going to continue to watch for Joe's shows, but I think it is wrong to allow so much unnecessary language on the site. But, that's just my opinion.
