OpticalStudio- that's ok! Don't worry. I would one day love to record some rock guitar as well- who knows.

Zinc Master : So you must be around 45...Have fun with some champagne tonite..

Optical Studio: Hmm, not working...thats wierd. The show was so good! I will have another dose of it tonite man, I cannot wait. If I was as good as you, I would only hear myself play! try getting on AIM!

jazzzzzzy : only one more post til the 1000!

Joe, have you read Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano? If you have not, please do! Its really one of his best works. Also, if you have the time, please do check out Stephen King's Different Seasons. Its one of the most chilling novella's I have ever read. See you tonite again at the HOB's!

Bswing Bswang....

Have fun tonight and be safe. There is a place next to the HOB called Bin 36. They have an excellent beer on tap called BIN 36. It's dark and murkey yet wonderful. Excellent place for the ladies before or after the show.

Kick'em in the teeth Joe!

Hey Joe,

I wanted to throw out a suggestion for a G3 tour. One of my favorites, who's WAY underrated, and has somewhat disappeared....Jake E. Lee. I sure would like to see him again, but don't know if he'll tour again. I'm sure he would be thrilled to tour with you & Steve, and be most grateful. And kick 100% ass! If it does happen, maybe you or Steve could lend him a whammy bar, so he doesn't have to torque his neck in half for dives. Nah, actually, I like that!!!

Zinc Master - Happy birthday. :-)

I think the St. Louis Cardinals will win in five games.

"Just because of one accident - no beer?
Over-reacting anybody?"

Yeah...the fans are overreacting. I have always wondered why people feel the need to vandalize their city when their local sports team wins.

Joe I'm so jazzed for this coming Wednesday night in Columbus. I even managed to get a date, she had never heard of you but I promised her that you're not heavy metal! But 3 hours might be a bit much for her, I don't know, we'll see.

I hope I win the backstage passes, looks like my odds are currently 1 in 55, not too good, but I think it would be the coolest thing in the world to meet you, your music has been a big part of my life for so many years now.

eek this place is hard to keep up with!

cheese101 - thank you! Yes, my stuff is "self-everythinged". I've been playing for 23 years. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Reaching people with music is an awesome thing. :)

Somebody pointed out that my link in my original post was not behaving nicely. I fixed it, but here it is again for anybody who might like to give a listen: http://www.arfnbear.com

Thanks everybody! JOE, you're the best!

Wow! 131 posts in 1 day! I know it's an election year but I come here to get away from all that stuff. I know it is a part of life but I can't keep up with all this. I can't stand TV cause of the damn political commercials! I'll be back (maybe) after the election, erection......whatever! Gotcha!!

Big News!! I may be going to NAMM! I put in the request at work (f'ers) they better not screw me this time! I have a press invite if I can swing the expences! I'll use my tax refund! Now that's what I call pre-planning!! Pre-spending, I'm good at that!!

Get away from all that stuff??? Hahaa, my spare time for the past two months has been spent watching convention videos, state of the unions, inaugural addresses, debates, and other random speeches from throughout history. My entire life during election time is politics. I can't imagine wanting to "get away from it."

Farting Gnome - Dan Huff is a fantastic player. I have the first 2 giant albums, didn't even know they had 2 others - I will look for them - thanks for the heads up.

Glam Rock was what happened around 89 - 90 when motley decided to wear, then take off the make-up.

Fluctuating short one or (should I say vertically challenged one)

Great song of the day! I always try and get my vitamins f and z.

Everyone try to check out the heart on Vai’s Ultra Zone, track # 4 “FRANK”

Uhh…. Umm, excuse me MR. Flexible, I just wanted to say…..

OME: I sometimes play solo gigs of instrumental music. In the my-room theater, you ever heard of it? I have a pretty strong following too. The 4 walls, they always attend.

No seriously, the few times I have had the opportunity to play out I have always done Instrumentals. I just find anyone that can hold a rythm and then I let it loose. Unscripted, it usualy works out quite well. You see, I have a lot of talent but nobody to make music with. In the barrio/hood everybody raps. I've made a couple "beats" and sold them to a couple up and comming groups but nothing serious. I need some exposure.

Alexandre, best of luck with your workshop!

Clarky, "butt hole the size of a bucket... roflmao.. " Now that's just tooo damn funny! ROTF!!! AGH!!

OME, sorry for the delay on your Godsmack DVD question. I bought it today and got to watch a bit of it before work. Sully is thanking Pennsylvania while the band is onstage. I'm thinking Philly because we saw them in Reading and they weren't taping there. I only got a glance at the booklet that comes with it. It's a great DVD from what I've seen so far :) Love Sully, so it's all good. At the beginning of the DVD, Sully is on the phone getting the word that they aren't allowed to film at the Hammerstein. They show clips of the guys walking around & taking cabs in NY, but I think the show footage is all PA (my home sweet home). I'll let you know when I find out for sure.

Jazzy Jason, thanks for the nod at the passes. I hope you had a fantastic time. Did you get any pictures with Joe?

Zinc, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Cheers!

Mari, " I know it's an election year but I come here to get away from all that stuff. I know it is a part of life but I can't keep up with all this. I can't stand TV cause of the damn political commercials!" Sucks hard, doesn't it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8 pages and only about 20 posts worth reading.

Steven, sorry you're feeling down. I'm feeling a bit off kilter myself. I'm in a mood lately. All this political bullshit isn't helping either. Music is the best medicine. Party on Wayne. Party on Garth.
