Jazzy Boy - When did I say Steve recorded something with Ozzy? I read and replied to The Prez's post. You didn't really need to repeat what he said...I got it the first time.

My comments were in response to what The Prez said about Steve, Ozzy, and their record labels. As far as I know, they were both with Sony / Epic at the time...so the "Steve can't record with Ozzy because they're on different record labels" argument isn't valid.

I don't know if Ozzmosis is Ozzy's greatest album. I think No Rest For The Wicked is strongest from start to finish. I'd probably have to go with that one, even though my favorite Ozzy songs are on No More Tears. Then again, all of Ozzy's stuff with Randy was brilliant...so maybe one of those albums is the best. ;-)

The Forgotten (Part 2) (and Lifestyle and Hill Groove) For G3!

like the Raegan quotes - he was a funny guy! Long may he rest in peace.

Does peter use the same body design for everything, you know, does he have a trademark design, or will he make it completely to your design spec?

so, your flight is at 4:15? lunch would be cutting it a bit fine for you, but we could meet in the morning. Please do mail me those details! talk to you soon!

2297electricrainbow: hmm.... I see on Michael.... It's been a long time since I've watched it, lol, and thank's for bringing me up to speed (haha, so to speak) with Champ Car....

trutina: I love F-1 also, and I had a friend that "etched" all of his tools with "Senna" in memory of that great Champion.... I remember when I noticed it on his tools, and he was like "wow, your the first guy to notice that".... It really is amazing how F-1 has changed over the years, and I hear ya on Tony George, lol.... After all, yes, he did bring F-1 back to the U.S..... On the cars.... I know they are more aerodynamic nowadays, but I dont like those "turned up" noses, lol, the last year of the "kuul look" was back in '91 I believe??....

Do The Stu: In the end, regardless of the amount of marketing, it seems like people interested in guys like Jimi or Shawn (or whoever...these are just the two names I have been using) go out and actively seek their music, while people who buy CDs from Britney or someone just do it because she's half-naked on MTV...

I agree with you right there!!.... Sex sells big time, and Britney and Christina are right up there at the top.... And right up there at the top of talentless, lol.... ho-hum, right....

slanshroom: spent weeks trying t find the notes,then in a second while taking a dump in my oh so bad toilet the notes arrived,lol.Something about showers,toilets & just b4 y fall asleep

haha, LMAO man, lol, sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest places, and the toilet is no exception, hehe!! ;-) Kuul of your friends in Dublin to hook your up like that and best of luck to you with Hungarian Gypsy bro!!!!.... Hope you can get around the grounding problem (that must really suck having to battle that!!) and work through that awesome tune!! Stay kuul man and have a great week, and AMEN to thats all i want t do for the rest of my life,money was never a priority for me in music because in music i am free,free from everything that a working life wont give!! :-)

/\/\/\R|<: haha, I wonder what would happen if you addressed a letter like that and mailed it!!.... lmao!! ;-)

TASTEY: Congrats on getting some Tripolis!!.... I'm hungry now, lol!!!!

marimariSRV: Thank's for the info on Eric, and hell yeah, he has an awesome voice!!.... Hope you can get to tell Steve that Eric gave him a shout, and lol on not just bowing to anyone, you go girl!! ;-) Awesome news on telling Jeff about Dave Martone and someday getting to Eric!!!!.... Demons Dream hasnt left my cd player since I got it, and it's crazy.... I'm loving it more and more with every listen, and that's a hard thing for me to do, but Dave's cd is just so intoxicating it's unreal!!!!.... Glad your loving it too, and happy to hear you are ready for the trip!!!! :-) :-)

962: lol man, Rally is a whole nother (lol, that's a word??..hehe) ballgame!!.... Those guys are badass!!!!.... I used to love watching the rally's and having SATCH or VAI music blaring in the background!!.... Awesome stuff man, I'm glad you brought it up, cause a good friend of mine has a kuul video he made with the rally and it kicks ass!!.... btw, I hear ya on the F-1 being so technologically advanced these day's, lol, the real drivers would kick their asses today, lol!!.... I didnt know about the 2008 deal, and that should make it much more interesting again!!!!....

Cameo-Cream-Red-Chocolate-Lilac-Blue Smoke Rolo for G3!! ;-)

R.I.P. Ronnie Reagan.... One more for the big gipper.... One of the greatest of all time is gone....

....And last but not least.... An Eric Johnson Sig Strat would be truely amazing!!!!.... Wow!!....

Jelly Man Sorry man I don't see the Johnathon Ross resembalance...probably because I don't want to lol...Jonathon Ross annoys the piss out of me...as does Frank Skinner lol.

But I got the DVD on now actually so I'll try to keep an eye out for the shot your talking about. :-)

962 I think we should start some kind of petition(sp?) then to get an anniversary special G3 on the 10 year anniversary...and before anyone points it out I know technically it hasnt been going 10 years because of the years they didn't have G3's...but who cares lol.

I still think FRUIT SUITS would be awesome to see, but I think I am the only one now lol.

been super busy lately... I can't keep up! As soon as exams are over in a week I'll try and get back to normal.

Good to see Joe posting more too! have a groovy day everybody...

mick87: Good Luck with the exams bro, and I got a busy few months coming up myself.... Starting next week we are down to 3 people for awhile because of VAC season.... I'm gonna be scarce after Mon starts, lol....

Ovation - thanks mike... good luck to you too man! I guess it's back into invisible mode again, lol.... Being scarce for G3!

Ovation1:Having a break dude,i,ve been at this now for 14 hours on Hungarian,its a tough one for me,but i,m making progress.

Tura has played a blinder on the making of this album,she understands although difficult for her,the effort it takes t perfect the best i can this step,although i was tempted t leave the guitar & do the physical love ting a min ago,lol,but otherworldly sounds call,how frustrating yet beautiful eh,such is life

I,ve mapped it out t completion in 13 steps,currently on the 1st the hardest,working on chords t complement the melody.Pablo de Sarasate was such an amazing composer,i,m just beginning t realize his genius in note choice,fingers crossed he wont turn in his grave at my efforts,lol, i really feel like a stumbling fool attempting this segway between Bachs C minor & H.G.

anyway back t it,i feel the pizza call in another 6 hours,lol

Dear Joe,

The land of gods awaits you, the 'guitar god' of all times.

What is it that has kept you away from coming to india. Your music may be a niche out here but believe me there are people in awesome numbers just waiting for your appearance. Yours fans are spread across the whole country.

Please inform us of your India tour which should definitely have my city Bombay included.

Hi, joe.. I am from China, a crazy fan for you. It's my first time posted here. Please forgive my poor english. I just wanna thanks for your coming to beijing last week. May 30th is really a fantastic day for all our satch fans in China as we see our guitar god face to face, just like dream comes true. Now I am in England and just got the tickets for G3 in Birmingham on June 26th..Really can't wait to see u.

And one more thing. you looked unhappy when you left the stage on that day in beijing. Did that translator say something bad? We all chinese satch fans promise you if that translator said anything bad, it's not true. We just hope it won't ruin your impression of beijing because we really look forward to your formal tour coming here.

Does anyone have any tips on doing the cool arpeggios in "The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing"? I'm almost certain with practice I can get upto speed descending the strings, but ascending again...is a bit tricky for me..so does anyone have any excercises or something that I can maybe borrow to get my hands used to that kind of thing?

Happy Birthday Steve Vai!

alexandrecaetano: Hello my friend! Happy 400 to you!! The concert sounded awesome! So glad it was a great show! I see that juju808 is coming to vist! Have a wonderful time! Enjoy G3! I have to get ready myself, I leave on thurday!!! I can't believe it! Have a great week!
