GODGUNSGUITARS- I have a cousin thats the exact same way and working on that same path. He quit school when he was young, then he went in contsruction cuz he thought he would do that for the rest of his life. well, a few weeks ago his he lost his job because they were not getting good business I guess. Now he's depressed, drinks alot, and has no job and is haveing the hardest time trying to get into even the simplist job cuz he's got no education. It's sad when I think about it cuz he's so stuck on himself and blameing the world around him.

Joeman9- haveing trouble with that Battle of The Bulge stuff ey? I can see why ur upset about doin it. Hell, if i were doin that, I would make a 13 page essay or more lol. I study that stuff for as a great hobby of mine, as u prolly already see lol. BUT, you should know how we got here, how it became to be. How our past shaped our present, and is the foundation for the future. How much we really should appreciate and respect the people who fought for us and ground we live on, even our enemy. We learn from the mistakes of the past and try not to have them repeated, even though they do get repeated. But it's like I say - If you don't know your past, you won't have a future. (no offense to anyone) You may not use this info much in ur life, but at least you'll know parts of why we live like we do now. I know this is not only Battle of the Bulge oriented but in history in general. so good luck on that project and don't give up, try looking at ur interest in the battle and write about that.

All the best :)

Master Yoda: haha Neil, I can see it know.... Clarky getting the interview and from behind you jump in front of the camera and say I'm the rhythm / lead guy in the mix, any questions??.... Meanwhile Clarky is standing off to the side with a funny grin on his face.... lmao man!!.... Hope you guys can work out the live shows of the Shredz!!....

michelle: You are so right about LISF!!.... Everytime I go back to it, I'm just amazed at the quality of it!!.... Stu looks so kuul and is just a great as JOE.... He's my fave now after watching lots of bass players.... He can reallly do it all!!.... btw, did you go drop off your daughters friend in the robe and pj's??.... What a riot!!.... I could see you dropping her off and ducking under the steering wheel trying not to be seen!! haha!! rotflmao, good times indeed!! ;-)

VFRrocker: Thank's man, and I forgot to mention that aircraft are my third love.... Family, Guitar and then airplanes, hehe ;-)

Joeman9: You'll work it out bro, and try not to get too hasty and say stuff like that.... People might think your serious and freak out.... Just do the best you can and it will all work out bro....

Happy pre-emtive 2000 Do The Stu!!.... Will you make it before the site changes?!?!.... I'm betting yes!! ;-)

mick87: I hear ya man, my eyesight sucks too, and those Sim's are fun to fly!!.... I used a 747 full motion simulator before and taxi'd fine and takoff was no problem (It's easy, lol, 200 kts and pull back on the yoke, whella!!).... Coming in on the Glidescope and landing was another story.... I captured it great (Glidescope) and when I got over the runway I was easing it down, and my Instructor was like Your running out of runway!!.... I let it down and the screen went blank!!.... The review screen came up and showed that my tail hit first, rotflmao!!.... Funny how a run / taxi authorization class turned into a flight test!!.... lol, it's amazing what a bottle of Johnny Walker will wager from an Instructor, hehehe!!.... ;-)

....All this Ice Cream talk has made me hungry....

Joeman9 - When you do a pinch harmonic, you don't touch the frets. Saying "24th fret" meanst hat you do the pinch harmonic where the 24th fret would be (if there was one).

I refuse to see them again. Some of the business decisions Gene and Paul have made recently are absolutely disgusting.

For the chickens and eggs / abortions thing, one of several differences between the two is that eggs aren't sucked out of chickens with vacuum hoses.

ok, i got a confession. my friend recorded the experience hendrix show joe played at. and it turned out pretty god damned good if you ask me. i'm listening to "red house" right now (in my current drunken state of mind) - and, i gotta say HOLY FUCK - this sounds pretty damn good joe!

Ahhh......fresh post!!!

Hey all, busiest Saturday ever. Longest anyway.

Jazzy: considering baby chickens (chicks) only come from chook eggs that are fertilised by a rooster (bulls don't really work) eggs are not aborted chickens. It's more like eating a chicken's period. Now that is gross!!!

Mick: what's funny is that I looked at most of the photos on that site and thought they were crap. It's better than those pictures look.

The North Esk river is all swampy, the South Esk river lies between cliff faces, they meet near the cataract gorge to form the (tidal) Tamar river in the centre of the city. Two separate worlds collide, and the gorge is incredible. We were only there last night actually.

Not to say that school is the be-all-and-end-all or that leaving school early is always a bad thing, BUT it's so often true that people who quit school because they can't stand it often find themselves in the exact predicaments that have already been mentioned: low (if any) income (either earned or from the government) and blame everyone else (usually "the system") for the fact they don't enjoy their life and that they can't get employment.

Again, some people don't need to be at school after high school (or junior high whatever it's called in other countries) because they have obvious talents or great opportunities to earn a long term living. Some people are brilliant at mental arithmetic or maths but unfortunately calculators and computers mean there are no jobs that require that gift. Sucks for me eh. So I do further education to get a bachelor degree and hope it helps find a job that I can do.

If you are a big muscly guy and you live out in the farm area, you could get a life-time job working on the land, and college or university aren't really necessary.

climber: I agree about E\//-/ man, plus those guy's have been calling him for a long time and he knows them pretty well now, so Ed jokes around with them.... I disagree with Ya Yo saying that he sounds drunk.... The guy had cancer removed from his tongue, so of course he's gonna sound different!!....

Happy Birthday to Anuj!!

Do The Stu: I do hope the basic design stays the same here, and yeah, I want to see you hit 2000 just in case we start at zero again, lol.... ;-) btw, those interviewers did a pretty good job in my opinion, cause they asked some great questions!!.... They especially nailed it when Eddie was talking about Wolfgang saying (referring to his Dad's music) Why doesnt anyone play this music anymore, then Eddie paused, and one of the interviewers said Cause were all waiting for you Eddie, or something like that (I'll have to listen to it again).... Pretty kuul cause it caught Eddie off guard and seemed to ring a bell in his head, lol!!....

Drake the Snake: Yes, it's true.... The JSX is a reality, and I do believe it is already out there....

zonin: Kuul on the recording of the show!!.... Maybe you could share it with us?? ;-)

Is There Sex In Space??....

recorded with stealth mic ear pieces on a $1K DAT recorder - turned out fantastic.

Hey People!
I have been to the bar again.....and I feel the Alco. Thanks DCK, Do the stu and everyone.......

About Eddie Van Halen: He is a good guitarist (up to a certain extent). Better than me without a doubt. But can he face the upcoming competition we have at T2J??? ummm, no! And thats something to smile about :-) I have heard more Grovie Movie, Strings from Heaven, Cubicle than any other VH song. And I need not bring Joe in this. Who compares to him?

the question is my friends......is there beer in space? are there guitars in space? is there Joe in space? is there bush in space (hope not)? is there sushi in space? What is in space? is there lust in space....physical attraction and all that? Maybe!

Is there space in space?

Shogun Vai - I still think some of those questions were rude...haha. ;-) How many times did they have to ask him to play Eruption? Ugh... Oh well, though...in the end, it's nice to hear from Eddie.
