Qestion still remains: Does Joe play Time Machine or Down, Down, Down for EWJS tour???????? Shots out to Tastey, Zinc Master(let me have your ticket dude !!!!!!!!), Narface, I know youre out there somewhere Do The Stu. Everybody else what' up!!!!!

achoo

Zinc Master: Yeah I know "Times is Ruff" and all that. I was just kidding. I bought the gold package though, hopefuly I will get invited to the meet and greet or Maybe I will win those backstage passes( I never did in previous years). "Suerte" is usually not on my side. I'm planning on taking my (hopefully not for long) ex- girlfreind to the Saturday show. Come to think of it though, I havent even asked her yet. Im just going to spring it on her on Sweetish(or however the hell you spell it) Day. She likes his music.

So, after a nice "evening" and after the enjoyment of Down, Down, Down,(fingers crossed) I might have the oportunity to "go down," and win back "The Crush of [her] Love." Ha HA Im so stupid.

Come on back passes

Go go gadget backpasses

Open sessapasses

sufferin' suckapass

What are you saying about 9s? Personally I prefer the sound for my style...

HA HA JELLY MAN. The only bass I know about taste good in my belly. Oh yeah I said 9s suck ass. But if it suites your taste.......

Just Kidding!!!!!!!

ah ex girlfirneds they;re like luminous flesh giants.... - (i dont really know what that means)

Mine apparently is going to ring me tonight... which is 10.30pm now, so who knows! ill see her on sunday anyways...

Delfinopie: Ah I see in spanish delfi`n(I dont know how to make the accent mark with the computer) is dolphin that must be Italian or something. huh? anyways....

Brother Al: lol maybe she'll luminate my flesh giant(I dont know what that means but it sounds funny). No I love Her though. If she dosent come back I regret to say I'll have to "kill'er bee bop,"and sheel be nothing more then "Memories" For I am the "Lord of Karma."

Yeah thats how I kind of conned the coochie out of her the first time around some, damn near, six years back.Learning and playinying songs like that for her. LoL

Well thats all for me satchland. Goin' home now. I'm off of work.

Okay... I managed to listen to Jordan Rudess' Rhythm Of Time today. Wow. :-) I had VERY high expectations before listening to this, and I was still completely blown away.

A few comments for jelly man (and anyone else who has heard the album):

Time Crunch - I think this could've made a great Dream Theater song...so much so that it's almost a disappointment hearing it here. Don't get me wrong, though... This song ROCKS and is my favorite song on the album. Maybe DT will work parts of this into an Instrumedley sometime in the future...that would be cool.

I don't really have much to say about this song, but that's because I love everything about it. There are a lot of cool solos here...but really, everything stands out as being awesome.
Screaming Head - I really like the change that happens after the first minute and a half or so...cool stuff. The song is awesome, but it's not quite at the level of the first track. Satriani's solo is cool here. Most of his guest appearances sound odd to me because his guitar "stands out" too much. That isn't the case here, though. There are a lot of cool rhythms in this song...I actually found myself focusing on those more than the solos.

The textures in this song remind of Rick Wakeman's album, The Six Wives Of Henry VIII. Some of the other songs on this album remind me of that album as well.
Insectsamongus - This sounds like it could be a Steve Vai song...I actually think it would've been cooler to have him solo on it instead of Satriani. The guest solo here is really weird, but it sounds cool.

I love the groove at the end of the song here, under the second solo (the one that isn't played by Satch).
Beyond Tomorrow - The singing here is different, but I think it's better than Satch's vocal songs on ITLIS?... I hear a lot of DT-ish stuff with the vocals here.

There isn't a lot going on early in the song here, it's almost a letdown after the nonstop energy of the first few songs. The song picks up soon, though...and the solos here again remind me of Rick Wakeman.
Bar Hopping With Mr. Picky - This is another light, less-busy song...but like the previous track, it picks up fairly quickly. The bass parts throughout this song are very interesting, and Steve Morse's guitar parts are awesome.

This is the shortest song on the album. It's so short, it almost seems to stick out like a sore thumb...
What Four - This is another song that I can't really say much about...mainly because I like everything. This song has a lot of cool rhythms, most notably the ones before the big solo at the end of the song. Oh...the solo was cool, too. ;-)
Ra - This is one of the most interesting songs on the album... I think it would have fit nicely on LTE II. There are a lot of cool textures and layers here... Again, I don't have much more to say because I loved everything about it.
Tear Before The Rain - This is another vocal song, and I think it's a great way to close the album. I like the keys during the verses. I know I really shouldn't say what I'm about to say, but I can't help it... This song reminds me of Space-Dye Vest. I'm not saying JR ripped off Kevin Moore...all I'm saying is that listening to this song at the end of Rhythm Of Time gives me the same feelings I get when I listen to Space-Dye Vest at the end of Awake.

In closing, I feel like I should say Time Crunch was so cool that, after the album ended, I listened to the first 30 seconds of it again before I turned off my CD player. ;-)

My name is Elizabeth and my "good-friend," TIM WEBLEY, is a huge fan! You may remember signing his Steve Vai custom at the Tower Records here in Hoffman Estates... ...I even found him an autographed pic of you for him for christmas... ...I have bought tickets for us to see you OCT 22, at the House of Blues in Chicago...

Our relationship is a little undetermined at this time, and I was hoping if you could say a word or two about how "Once you find love, you shouldn't let it go " or something to that effect with his name -- it would show him how much I care and what I'm willing to go through for him -- which is needless to say, BEGGING you for a little help.

I'm sorry this message will be written everyday 'til the 22, since I'm not sure when or if you will even see this. Sorry for the annoyance.

I love getting more cds in the mail, its like Christmas, lol. Some more Hendrix, Gilmour, Frusciante, and Incubus to add to my collection. And I love it, I love it all!!

Do the Stu - hmm... I dont own many Hip cds, but I would recommend you start with "Up To Here". It's one of their first I think, and has some awesome tracks. Blow at High Doe and New Orleans is Sinking are my two personal favorite Hip songs. Plus it only costs about 9 bucks.

Michelle - thanks michelle, and lucky you! lol, that is really awesome... joe, metallica, and godsmack all in a week. That's so beautiful, I think I might cry... well maybe not, lol. Have a blast and a half!
