Hey Graham-

See if you can get ahold of Alex and John.Also, I emailed John a Ptb. of another cool Ninja Gaiden tune that I forgot to tell youse guys about when you were here.I guess ask him for it, it is a MID extraction thing, but the sound is close enough to get the right idea.

clarky: just thought i'd share one of your horoscopes for today: You're so enthusiastic this week, Libra, you want to do everything at once. Hopefully, common sense will be around to restrain you. Think twice before you do something rather silly.

Flagg, well said re Thin Lizzy. Scott Gorham, the oldest serving member in the current amalgamation was in the Mark III (third iteration) of Thin Lizzy. I got no problem with them touring the material, I got a problem with them using the name. Phil Lynott and Brian Downey were Thin Lizzy.

MikeyVai, Mr. Timmons is also the nicest guy you could ever meet and can play convincingly in many many styles. He can do the SRV thing, the Satch thing, a lot of the Vai thing, blues, fusion, the Gary Moore thing, a lot of Jeff Beck. I even heard 'verbatim" Santana out of him not to mention the mind boggling country fried pickin and fingerstyle playing I witnessed in his Pawn Kings ( Andy's blues group) show I was lucky enough to see in a small club in Dallas.

All of this different sound through a small Laney set-up I might add.

need to complain a little:

the job - dont really like it. especially when my boss gives me a report thats at least an inch thick or more-no lie, and wants 3 copies of it, we have an ancient copy machine, that doesnt sort, so i have to do it page by page, and rotate the copies so they dont get mixed up, and then sort the, into 3 piles by hand. do you know how much that sucks? if we had a sorter, it would have taken less than 10 minutes, but nooooo...too cheap to buy a new copy machine, so stacy gets the honor of making the copies.

my truck - just bought it last july, its a 2001, was driving home from seeing joe last night and was going like 75 down the highway and over a bump and the truck shook as usual, well it didnt stop right away, it felt like a had a four tire blow out all at once, scared the living shit out of me, so pulled over, but then it seemed fine, so i figured it was a freak thing, but then it happened again, so now i have to have it looked at. they think its the shocks, but someone else says it could be this other thing that the steering column is connnected to which is connected to the front end or somethin that costs a fortune. any mechanics in da house?

oh and no i didnt hit the jackpot either, i only ended up losing $150 though, could have been worse, so i won here and there to keep me going through the end of the night and the next morning..............

chris - hehe, the alien thing kinda reminds me of avarice.... the frightening thing is some people would actually believe that. There are lots of people who look to the most far fetched explanations of bible events that are far less likely than how the bible itself actually puts it.

Webmaster or Joe (whoever reads it first lol)- I gave Joe a demo of mine, it had my number on it and it said awaken on top. I asked Joe if he can tell me what he thought of it and if he could call me about it and he said he def would. I just really hope he does, I've worked soooooooooooo hard on it. All I'm asking for is 5 min that's it. Thanx for your time, I know you're very bussy and believe me I appreciate everything you do. I hope I'm not being a pain in the ass, it just would mean a lot to me.

I dont know if this was posted before but here is a link for the Satch Texas show with Andy Timmons on it. I beliebe im not the only one whos gonna say this but i enjoyed a lot more to see this single video than the entire jam set with Yngwie on the last G3 tour DVD..... Satch should join forces with this amazing guitarist on the future, he really deserve it, he sounds very similar to Satch and they quite match on stage.

Enjoy if you havent seen it yet

Joe Satriani & Andy Timmons jam

to the guy askin about g3 tickets in birmingham go to the nec website, its something like www.necgroup.co.uk

Thinkin about getting tickets for the G3 show in Copenhagen, Denmark ..but i'm wondering what kind of setlist the 3 of them will play ...is it just 4-5 songs like on DVD/CD's or more ?

From Andy Timmons.com:

Hi Everybody,

Thanks to all who were in attendance today at the Dallas Guitar Show...we really had a great time (despite the ridiculous gymnasium-style acoustics!!) greatly due to the wonderful response we received!! Glad you all are digging the new tunes..can't wait to get the new record out there. A huge special thanks to Joe Satriani for giving such an inspiring performance as well as the awesome jam he invited me on stage for!! The man has huge ears which makes the "jam" a much more musical experience than the usual fantastic it can potentially be!!

Hope you all are doing well...thanks for all the great posts!! Keep 'em coming!!!

Love to all,

Satch does it again!

Have you been tested and have you been diagnosed with carpal tunnel? If not, you may have just overused some of your ligaments - rest should help. Otherwise surgery could be an option.

Zinc Master: Im going to a specialist tomorrow to get tested. If I do have carpal tunnel, will I have to quit playing the guitar dya think? Or would I be able to still?

Sugarplum: Thanks for typing that message. I think religion and state should not be mixed. It only causes more trouble. Living in a place like California, dont you ever look outside your window or go for a drive? There are people from several parts of the world! America is a melting pot. These people raise families and would feel awkward if every school they sent their kids to were Christian. Its not just Christianity...its about any religion forcing their dogmas on people. I think schools should be secular and America needs to be secular if you think it is not. My friend, this is 2004 not the 1700's.

I grew up Catholic and went to a Catholic school. You cannot avoid ethnic, religious, sexual diversity etc living in a place like America. You have to make everyone feel comfortable by being hospitable. Thats all it takes. It can be challenging at times, but God will reward you for it...if thats a way to see it.

PS: America is a secular country even if it pains you to realise that.

Joeman9: Sorry for being harsh....but admit your last post sucked. Or I can accept it by calling it "the people with underdeveloped brain" diversity. That works!

Do the Stu: It was fun to bash Joeman9, seriously...but I'll stop.

To all the intelligent people Zachary, trutina, michelle and others...I salute you.

I'm lovin' all this Andy Timmons talk!! The man deserves to be on G3...

962 and Zenfish - Andy has got a lot of SRV in him... a lot of the Pawn King stuff is similar to it, as well as "I Remember Stevie" (obviously, lol). He also has a lot of Joe and a bit of Vai in him too... I wouldn't call him a Vai clone at all though. He can do so much on the guitar, so it's kinda hard to call a guy with so much versatility a clone of anything really.

Man I can't wait for his new disc!

Ga6o - Ya I saw that posted at the Timmons site... man those guys rip it up together!!

Webmaster ~ T2J's screen lost its black for me, letters are grey and the background is white, very strange. What can I do to fix it?

Hi Joe....: )

Hi satchland ~ so many beautiful people here.
