All Blues: sorry I don't know what guitar he used, but just over 4 years ago I asked him about the song (would he record more stuff along the lines of Tears In The Rain) and I got this reply: "funny you should mention that, i was just fooling around with that cool program in the H3000 that made "tears in the rain" sound the way it does...joe..." so I haven't answered your question or said very much to help, but I hope you found it interesting anyway!

Michelle: just curious, what is a good drum face? Does it involve gritted teeth? Mouth wide open and eyes straining? How about one of my favourites: eyes glaring wide, lips between clenched teeth and nose screwed up? I like a good cold sneer. (The I'm-too-cool-to-play-gigs-for-your-crowd look.) Unfortunately it's in my nature to give huge cheesy grins every now and then, which ruins the image. It's all developing, as for years I was a pokerfaced Jeff Campitelli.

It must be time for me to post, since JS JS is going to bed.

Jazzy boy ok then. tell us a good one please. and your not really a big fan of hip hop are you? just wondering, lpersonally I hate the stuff (and not becuase mostly black people do it-I am not racist but I have been called so just because I hate rap and such).

HEY PEOPLE

Does anybody here remember that film wit Steve Vai and Ralph Maccio with that marvelous duel-guitar?
"Crossroads" was its name. At last Maccio (and obviuslly Mr. Vai, but maybe anyone more, like Ray Cooder, playing slide on credits?) plays a Meddley about 24Capriches of Paganini (I know the 5th, ja), things of life, Malmsteen's first-favorite-album.

It would be great to see it (all jam, that is not too different from any G·moments) in their Satch-Vai way, and so much with Malmsteen, the three playing like that duel. I need to see that DVD, 2003G3Tour. Slow-connection doesn't let me play VideoDemos on QuickTime, but the Audio ones were great !

And Tomorrow I'm gonna pay around the same price for a B.B.King concert next week... KING OF THE BLUES COMES TO SPAIN !! Granada Jun 25 and more

So I must wait to have it in my hands, but I ll wait knidly... knowing it ll be great when finally gettin

And have a lot to study... Buuuuuffffff ! it ll be great for me too
PEACE

Clarky Gooners lmao, friends of yours ? heh heh. I was interested to see your comment about it being more difficult to pick up Yngwie's playing style a day or so back. I'm assuming that was because of his phrasing and not purely the speed ?

Trutina Hey Bil! Dude, DO NOT leave here without 'our' permission again, wandering minds rarely gravitate to the positive (hey my own QOTD!) ;-)

michelle - Thanks, but you're a little late I'm afraid. I wrote the outcome of the date a few posts before yours... It could have been better. It could have been a hell of a lot worse, but it could have been better.

The platinum packages for the 9/4/04 Greek Theatre show have already sold out... Ugh...I was hoping people wouldn't buy them. ;-)

DelfinoPie - "I think bringing up the whole religion subject was a bad idea on my behalf"

Why do you feel that way? We're having an intelligent discussion...what's so bad about that?

I have a feeling he'll be back to a more "greatest hits" set when he's back in the US for the Deep Purple tour... The same thing happened when he went from Europe to the US in 2002... Oh well.

Hi Joe,

Yoda - I'm glad to see that the tracks appear to be going down well with pretty much everyone you play them to.. that's really encouraging stuff...
I like the Raft and Artaud too.. I suspect though that once you here the 'final mixed' version and learn to play it, that The Baptist will be taking Number 1 spot... lol..

Artaud is nice though.. very pretty...
have you actually tried free-styling over the opening chord progression yet?..try it.. lol.. it's a real bitch..

the new testament is not a holy book at all.. it is a detailed history of a people that were under occupation by Rome.. during a time when signaificant and radical changes were occuring [Jesus' life being a considerable part of it] the Essene's needed to document their history.. but they also needed to protect those involved less they be arrested and most likely exectuted by Rome... So the whole series of events where written and encrypted to ensure that the history survives that traumatic time and those people / places / times and dates remain protected from prying Roman eyes..

Much of the true meaning of the bible was lost in translation from Hebrew.. all you see is the basic text that was translated at face value... did you know that the Bible in Hebrew describes two different Jerusalem's.. one is masculine and the other is feminine... in translation to Latin and Greek this 'error' was corrected... and English has no such concept of masculine and feminine words.. so the true meaning is lost... the masculine Jerusalem is the one we know today... the feminine one is Kumran.. [the New Jerusalem]... Jesus did not create Christianity.. that faith was manufactured long after he died.. and my money says that Christianity from it's invention to the current day bears no resemblance to anything Jesus was into.. from what I understand.. the faith that was most like that which Jesus was trying to create was the Cathar faith.. which in turn ceased to exist after one particular Pope sent 20,000 knights to remove them from the face of the earth in the early 13th century... Christainity is a manufactured thing.. most Christians don't even really understand the 'real' content of the bible.. they just read it at face value... and a minority built properous careers and empires in the name of that book...

I totally admire and respect everythig that Jesus set out to achieve.. to me he was a great man.. a real visionary.. and unfortunately for him the societies of the time were just not ready for such a forward thinking reformist..

I've read the bible cover to cover.. studied it to to some degree.. and studied it with reference to history and the Kumran Scrolls too.. the Bible is a simply mindboggling work of genius.. the book that is really interesting is the old testament.. now there a whole facinating story to be unearthed.. and from what I gather.. an epic and tragic one too.. I'd like to find out a lot more about that one..

delphino - sorry bro.. I missed out last night.. I was away from my pc for a little white.. saw you'd came in and then gone..

girlie = cute girl.. so for me.. girlies = my guitars.. and I love them all.. lol..

delfino - speed is a nice thing to have, and a pointless thing to rely upon...

she gave you all the right signals and you simply didn't spot them..

"just want to be good friends" obviously means she wants you to shove a baseball bat up her hula and knock it in with a great big mallet...

"will you stop pestering me" means try again a little latter with a beyonette and trench club, and I'll most likely say yes hot stuff...

"piss off" means bend me over the sink, mash my face into the taps a few times whilst doing me up the hoop and smashing me about the back of the head with a jerry can...

you see.. all the signals where there, you just failled to read them...

I reckon it's 'cos you're just a lil' teensie bit shy... lol ... lol..
