Hi all.

I havent been able to catch up on a whole week's posts so what been happening? Anything cool???

Well today is my 25th Birthday (woo hoo!!!) so I am going to go out and get bladdered Clarky Style as I am really surprised that I made it this far!!!

Oh and "Come On England, Come On England". Lets hope that England can really cap off my B'day.

u get 2 backstage passes i think, and u prob all know i wud lovvvvve to get them,

Heres the pics of my Grad, where we dressed up as Gnr and played welcome to the jungle, it went great, i dont have the video tho :( but pics will do!

Jazzy Boy...yes you are correct....Troy Stetina did a version of "flight of the bumblebee".... I have a copy of it...he also did a beautiful version of Bach's "Prelude in D"...

Mowlie, HAPPY BIRTHDAY youngin'!

Brother Al, which G N R guy are you? Funny stuff!

Man, I was just wailin' away on the drums. lol! Can't play for shit, but I was having a blast! My daughter's going to be mad at me. I ruined the nice shiney tape on her Hard Rock drum sticks. oopsie!

I'll have a drink for you birthday boyz while I'm at it too :)

Cheers mateys!

Slash or corse! (2nd from left) my guitar is in my hand, u can jus see the headstock... but that pic doesnt do the performace justice!!

(and on the site i gave ya^ dont mind the talkbox links a friend wanted examples of it!)

Powerslave214: Happy 36 man!! :-) Good luck with your tests....

dragonchild: Awesome news Eva!!!!.... That is so kuul that you guys got hooked up and are going to the show together!!!! And Mari needs to invite a guest on the pass give away!! ;-) Have a blast!! :-)

Do The Stu: Roger that on the cd man, let me know, and I'll look around for it the next time I get to the local cd shop downtown.... I'm guessing it's around 2000 yen (about $18-$20) because I have a few Richie Kotzen & Paul Gilbert singles (with 3 songs on them) that cost $15....

That Central Park show IS awesome man, and I watched it all the way through!!.... It's refreshing to see someone (I've seen little bits of Dave before) playing acoustic and singing!!.... He's awesome and I agree on his chordal progressions and riffs!!.. Perfect for the music he plays!!....

Stefan is a great bassist, and he's got the fingers to play that 5 string, lol, I did hear the line changes on Warehouse and All Along The Watchtower, he really fits the band well!!.... I didnt see him use a pick at all, and I'd like to see him try that.... My appreciation for bass players goes up 10-fold when I see them do both, lol!! ;-) He played a great little feedback / echo solo in there too, lol!!....

Carter.... One of my top faves, I knew he was good, but after watching the whole show, he is that much more amazing!!.... He's a syncopated madman, and he's having so much fun at the same time it's awesome!!!!.... And he's smiling the whole time while chewing gum, lol!!.... Him and Dave connect so well, and it is obvious how much those guys love playing with each other.... Oh, and the keyboard solo improv was awesome the way it built up with Carter!!!!.... The end of the show was incredible, and their appreciation for each other shows why they are an awesome band!!.... Great stuff man and I hope everyone else buys this dvd!! ;-)

Thank's for the boxed set info btw!!....

michelle: Congrats to your daughter!!!!.... Bang away, lol, she's going to be so surprised when she gets home!!!! :-)

ATN: Good Luck on the trade-in to get your Peavey back, and keep the Experimental coming man, kudos!!.... lol on John MaCarthy, and look forward to the new stuff!!.... Stay kuul man and give Steven a high five!!....

Happy Birthday mowlie_2000!! :-)

Brother al: Congrats man!! Kuul!! :-) lol on G-n-R, LMAO!! ;-)

mikesb: lol man, great to see Dave is available off the shelves there in Finland for Noppa, lol!!.... He better get it, and I hear ya on the shifts in Dave's music!!!!.... His songs stay in my head all day, lol, simply amazing, and it just get's better and better after every listen!!.... What an amazing songwriter and guitarist!!!!....

alright for all the drummers out there...how hard is it to learn the drums? they just sound like they'd be a lot of fun to know how to play haha

Brother Al, what does your shirt say on that pic?

Mikey, you're right, the bass pedal needs some practice. It will help once we get a proper seat and we're not using a stool or desk chair. lol! When I try to drum quietly I'm a mess, but when I make " the drum face" and start wailin' on 'em, I'm a bit better. lol! Aggression always wins! lol!

Mowlie- Happy Birthday!

Michelle- Hope you continue to have fun with the drums ;) I used to have a friend who played drums and it was a great stress reliever! Cant play worth crap, but its fun to try and also to come up with your own solos lol...

Hope all in Satchland have a good night...

Thanks for the birthday wishes, and happy birthday to mowlie, too.

A nice rare NY strip (steak for those of you with minds as filthy as mine) is a wonderfull thing ;-)

Congrats to Michelle Peart :P

God gave rock n roll to you...

michelle: anyways, congrats on buying drums michelle. Tell your kiddies to learn some Metallica. Than your house will be rocking!

MikeyD: Italian. From Italy or Italian background? Like I dont consider $atch Italian. Hell, I hope to bang Monica Belucci someday, probably the sexiest Italian lady. Or is she?

As for my Identity, It will be revealed soon. Perseverance pays off.

Death Cube K: Isnt that Bucketheads nick name too? Lardbuckethead. lol. Kidding!

Brother Al:. dude. Why is that Axl Rose wannabe shirtless W/ A BONER ??????(or you drunk Irishmen may call it a whiskey bottle inside the underwear). I am concerned.

Fretslayer: Very cool updates on the website. Enjoyed the Videos. There are a shit load of guitarists out there but most of them want to show how good they play and are sometimes not concerned about the melody. But you stand out. I am impressed.

Mowle and Powerslave: Happy Birthday guys!

Alexandre: How you doing brother?!

Trutina: Got some questions regarding Cross Country. Did you drop the tuning? more coming up......................

Death Cube K: lol. Go to Chat. Even though its not PC, agree that LardBuckethead is funny....You could capitalize on that, you know?

I thought Death Row + Ice Cube + Korn = Death Cube K

But its Bucketheads nickname. Well, who cares?

GET IN THE RING MOTHERFLABBER!

Michelle:The drum face,LMAO

Stu Clone: Oh, deep dish pepperoni sounds terrific and my hunger soared once again after I read your poist....Me so Hungry still!

Joe is Italian. He's impressed you mentioned Pizza, so probably youre getting a "free" backstage pass. Woohoo!
