ThE mYsTiCaL pOtAtO: Your right man, it does happen to every band with a new release, and Jazzy Boy made some good points for it, but the thing that bothers me about it is that it becomes the spoiler of the actual release date, and it losses it's original significance because we dont think of the release date anymore.... We tend to think of the artist being raped IMHO....

Matt Martinez: Amen on Kazaa brotha!!.... That is good to hear!!.... lol, bad boys bad boys, wacha gonna do, whacha gonna do when the cybercops come for you.... hehe ;-)

JS_JS: Thanks for posting Fretslayers site link again!!.... btw, have fun at your band practice!! :-)

Clarky: haha, Suzuki Piss for G3, lmao!!.... btw, waffie let you out with a kitchen pass!?!?.... Your anniversay must be coming up bro, check the calendar!!.... hehe....

One day out in the Texas panhandle, a guy sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog for Sale."

He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. Theguy goes into the backyard and sees a Basset Hound just sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks.

"Yep," the Basset replies.

"So, what's your story?"

The Basset looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running.

"The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

"Ten dollars."

The guy says, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him, so cheap?"

when are we gonna hear some clips from the new songs? The cd release is less than a month away!

Need Clips need Clips

:)

eta: please wait is chotto matte kudasai, lol, matsu is also a word for the verb waiting, so you were half correct, lol....

How are you doing in its most basic form is O genki desu ka.... Genki (pronounced "Genkey") means happy.... So it means: "Are you happy"....

See you soon is Matta attode ne, which literally means "Again later ok".... lol, that is the hard (or easy) part of Japanese.... Very direct with the subject at the beginning of the sentence (as well as conversation-wise)....

On Kwai Chang Kane.... There was a hit TV series called Kung Fu with David Carradine (in the U.S.) and he grew up with the Shaolin Monks.... He was half American and Chinese, and that was his name.... David Carradine played Kane as an older adult traveling (seemed like forever) through the desert in search of his parents, I think, lol.... It was a kuul show cause the fight scenes were realistic, and Dave actually studied Kung Fu.... btw.... When he was a kid (in the Shaolin Temple), his name was Grasshopper.... lol....

adrianorb: ROTFLMAO!!.... Thanks!!.... ;-)

Sargent t: Welcome to the Satch Realm, and ask away!! :-)

I have another midterm today...fun stuff.

Argh...

Matt King, I haven't written JR lately, but it's on my list of things to do for about 2 weeks now. lol! I want to see if he got any of Joe & Steve's new music (DVD's & cd's). Yeah, I miss him too. It's just not the same without his everyday banter. Ahhh, the good old days. lol! Life gets in the way. lol!

Julie, "off to dentist for my wisdom check up... ugh... " does that mean he'll be testing your I.Q.? lol!

I like Kevin Smith, and Carlin is my favorite. Should be a good movie as long as J.Lo isn't it it. lol!

I ran out this morning and got the new acoustic Godsmack cd. It's pretty good from what I've heard so far :) Skipped breakfast too. I'm starving!

I agree that music should not be leaked before its release date. It just feels defeating as an artist to see an anxious crowd that sometimes goes sour because others are screwing up their excitement by downloading highly anticipated music.

And finally, downloading does help artists like JS and tonnes of others who never get any MTV airplay or recognition. If it werent for the internet, I would'nt be buying and listening to artists such as JS, Eric Johnson, Malmsteen, Opeth and others.

Hi all,

I see there are dates for a concert in London in June. How/where can I buy tickets?

Thanks,

NightFly_Rob Hey hey I'm going the Birmingham G3 date, where are you seated? Im on the 'B' floor section in the second row from the front. Cool news about your JS1200 CA, just reminds me of how much I wanna' have my own signature series of guitar brought out when I am a "wickamundo" guitarist like Joe.

Hey Joe or any of your great fans help me with a question. I was wondering if you played a song on the movie TOP GUN , because there is a part where there is some awesome guitar and it sure sounds like JOE. I aint talking that wimpy kenny loggins stuff either. Also there is a song a FLYING IN A BLUE DREAM called INTO THE LIGHT thats sounds similar to the guitar music in that movie, so if anyone can help me with this thanks much!!!!!!!

Hellow everybody:

Time for my 100 post. It took me a year (or a little more) to reach this number, so I'll make it worth with a simple message.

wow! cool new site, really easy to navigate, and i love some of the cool pics, i really cant wait for this album now, wonder how long itll be b4 we get it in england...

So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says "I'm going to have to put him down." "What? Because he's cross-eyed?" "No, because he's really heavy."
