My T-shirt says "Tony Likes Hob Nobs"

we were ona vacation before jus my friends and we were all in an apartment and tony who isnt in the pic - we put loads of hob nobs (which are like cookies) crumbled up in his bedsheets, and he got really pissed off, so the next day we all got t-sirts printed up sayin that "" and we got like 7 complaints for being loud on the first night the apartment was in tony's name so he kept getting into trouble, it was a really funny week! and loads of other stuff hapened!

And jazzy boy,

He's wearing a cup, so his buldge looks bigger! it looked mad funny theres other pics but i didnt see them and of corse the video!

we actually palyed it very well, and i think were doin a gig soon!

michelle: lol on the bass drum pedal.... A good exercise to start of with is a nice little roll exercise.... In beats of 4.... On the snare (1,2,3,4) to the tom (1,2,3,4) to the floor tom (1,2,3,4) and finish it with a bass drum kick.... Dadadada, dadadada, dadadada, boom.... lol, put on that mean face and then (one hit for each) bass drum, floor tom (right hand) and with your left hand switch between the snare and tom all in one fluid motion.... Should be 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3 and play around with it and get the rhythm down and wail away!!.... Fun stuff and a great way to start!! :-)

Jazzy Boy: lol, I'm not off the boat Italian, but my Dad's side is 100% and my Mom's is Irish and German, lol, I think Dr. VAI explained it best when he was talking about touring Italy (I believe the notes are from the sleeve of AIAUW) : He said that they may call me the Italian virtuoso, and as much as I may try to act like it or want to be, I realise that I am American.. Which has it's own culture of sorts.... lol, read the liner notes for his full description.... Although, I do talk with my hands alot, which is a great habit I adopted from my wonderful Grandma from Palermo and Grampa from Sicily.... None & Nono ;-)

slanshroom: Your hard work has paid off bro!!.... More gear!! lol, and as long as the girl is good with it, Wohooo!! ;-) LMAO on the dude that told you to wait your turn on your Park amp head, lol!!.... Dude.... I'm the same way when it comes to the music stores.... That ego guitarist mentality just turns me off, lol, that's why I visit them when everyones at work, or else I bring a bud with me, lol.... Get some rest bro, and plug and play when your VG88 comes in!! :-)

962: lol man, on the 24hr Lemans race!!.... Sounds like it was brutal!!....

Smalldude: Welcome to the SatchRealm!!.... btw, got to this page of the site and list yourself as attending the particular show that you are going too.... You are automatically then entered in the drawing for a backstage pass.... And you can invite a guest if you win!!.... Good Luck!! :-)

The Forgotten Part Deux and Speed Of Light for G3 Bournemouth!

Hi Joe

I went to see you at the Agricom years ago in Edmonton, Canada. (Much too long ago) Anytime you want to venture north, you're definitely welcome in Canada.

I just got my Satch tickets for the Greek Theatre show in Los Angeles... I went through Ticketmaster...

I'm in the third section back (including the pit), about 46 rows from the stage. I'm on the outside of Joe's side, about even with the speakers on that side of the stage...I have the two seats on the outside end of the row in the right-center section...

These are worse than I've ever had before for Joe, but they're better than when I saw Deep Purple and The Scorpions at this venue a few years back.

Overall, I guess I'm happy with the seats. I'd like to be closer, but it's cool that I'm sorta in the center (although if I were one more seat to the side I would be in another section that isn't near the center).

Is anyone else here going to this show? Post a message here or drop me an email and maybe we can meet up.

hello Satchland!

happy birthday MOWLIE!!!

Has anyone heard from trutina lately? I don't think he's made a post here in a while, and I don't think I've seen him on my buddy list recently, either...

My dad was a drummer way back when he was in high school and college. One of his drumsets has been set up in my room for the past two years or so, because I'm only here at home a few months out of the year.

I only play / practice a few minutes every other day or so, so I can't play much more than House Full Of Bullets or Whispering A Prayer right now...haha. Oh well, though......I'm having fun.

First, you don't "deserve" anything. No one here does. The aftershow passes are a gift.

How many shows have you been to that have had an aftershow pass contest? I think 5 of my 7 had the contest, and I've never won. MegaBoyd has been to more shows than anyone on T2J, but he hasn't won the aftershow pass contest here...

krazie olie - Matt is playing bass for Joe...

Tetova: would you like to be my guest? I have 2 passes.... email dragonchild if you are interested. Look for me at the show, I'm a tall blonde. I know that's very common here. I will have camera equipment with me.

Hello Everyone in Satchland!!!!!! I'm here in Sweden at dragonchild's house watching Bad Horsie from Live at Astoria DVD! Eva cooked a great dinner for us. We are looking at some of my photos too. I brought some to get signed-8x12´s. Eva called me last night and gave me the great news! I just saw the email notifying me that I had won passes for the Gothenburg show. I also asked permission from joe's manager to photograph the shows I will be attending. I got an email from his manager...Yes! I can photograph the shows here, maybe NY also! I will be sharing my photos with the website so you will be able to see them to! I am flying so high right now! It's my dream come true!! I can't believe it!!! I am bouncing off the walls! OMG! all I can say is OMG!! Thank you God! this crazy idea to come to Sweden was my destiny... I won aftershow passes from Vai for the Stockholm show so Eva will get to meet Joe and Steve too! I can't thank her enough for all her help, maybe this is a start. Take care! I miss you guys!

I'm really torn now on whether to buy a 7-string...I need some recommendations for a 6-string around £500...preferably Ibanez...
