962: Cool man, I'll keep it in mind. To be honest I didn't even know that Toto was still playing.
Jazzzy: Dude, no love for Macalpine!!! Wow, well to each his own. Honestly, I really only like the "Maximum Security" cd. It's a classic. There are some killer songs on his 92' "Freedom to Fly" cd, it's more a rock album and not so neo-classical. Glad you dig John 5! I want to get the Vertigo cd bad!!

SUZIE2000- If You logged on to My site there is an album called "morning light" That was the 1st recordings! July 03'...All original and totay experimental(probaby because i did'nt know any real song's) I did not know anything about EQ or compression, and I Just picked up the guitar!...So I was reacting on feeling and what I was hearing, A year later is when I began taking lessons and learned all My pentotonic scales and the whole circle of 5th pattern, Plus a whole lot of other basic stuff, I can say I learned from the best in the new york, LA, CA. area- John Mcarthy-Tony Burnett. and My home studio experiance came by serious trial and error!...I have screwed up many a take!...I know quite a lot about Home recording, Now.The good equipment and the prices, the ease of use!...I have owned quite a few! from Yamaha, to tascam, fostex, Korg , Zoom...You name it. I chose to stick with Boss...Because of My "limited range of readin comprehension" That was the most user frendly for Me!...But You realy cant go wrong, If You want i could give You a list of some realy awesome ones such as the V-studio's or the less expensive stand alone, Most come with 24-16 bit conversions which is standard comercial CD quailty!...I started green in late december 02' so that would make Me playing for a total of 2/12 years. And The stuff I have learned is very insightful!, and ......wait a minute I have to post again this is getting realy long...hang on.....

Hi all, just thought I'd add one comment to the weekend's WWII conversation. Despite everything Winston Churchill did in that war, he'll still be remembered in Australia as the ^%#&^$&^ that sent the WWI ANZACS to a freaking beach at the bottom of a cliff covered in Turks at Gallipoli. Welcome to international war, colonial boys. Thanks for supporting the Empire, I hope you all get shot dead on your first assignment. (Those are not his words, note!) Of course, Hamilton was responsible for most of that muck-up, but it was Churchill that sent them all there without first planning it properly.
Later! Enjoy your Satch!

Suzie, anyway-I can talk for hours, So just take to mind what intrests You!...I startded with A tascam tape based unit, Whcih for Me was akward because of the panning! I was always earsing hard earned recordings because I did not know how to pan...Digital- was way easier For Me...And I found through Boss and My effects units I could get a "sharp" tone out of it! Some guitarist hate Digital, Because the response is "flat"...but now there are ways to mimic tape quality through digital!...My 1st real competent recrder was the Boss Br-1180...I recorded "Wildeworld" and Morning light" and "one Step" with that wonderful machine! still have it!...In fact i got so proffiecent at making quality recordings with EQ and trim and shelving, tweaking mastering, That I recieved very kind compliments from the serious pro recording artist! George Clinton-Mr. P funk...Buzzy Linhart-Who worked much with world reknowned Eddie Kramer(He's from England) -Who Produced Led Zep 2 and Jimmy Page with a 2-10 cab! much of hendrix stuff...Plus a million other stars!...And I recieved An Honorable mention in the 03 John Lennon songwriting contest For My Composition for "the song "one Step" I was thrilled!.... I am learning more everyday! Paul Clark(Clarky) Hipped Me to some very good home recording books to!.......I Now own A Boss BR-1600 It's too awesome!......Well I think I'll Sstop talking now, I Hope I did'nt bore You?...But obviously I get hyped about recording and anyone intrested! If I can help...My Day is Made!..Well Much cheer's and sucsess!..........Jazzzzzy- Maybe We should get A place together In LA, CA. and start Rockin' out in West LAlLOL..I was told I theres places that would Love My crazy guitar antic's! Out there!!................ Everyone- That is terrible new's about hendrix motorsport team...I was very much into wiston cup before Dale Left Us...The Family and Freinds will be in Our prayers!

Mikesb: MacAlpine bored me to tears. I downloaded Chromaticity and Edge of Insanity. Did I use the word "suck" when I talked about them? If I did, sorry. But he's not my style.
Fretsalyer: No love for the Mac Music. I like Big Mac's though.
megabody: Colson was full of himself when I met him.
DCK: John 5's new album is all shred, you should check it out. It has some pretty shitty licks in some of the songs, but overall its fun to hear. Macalpine's tone on stage was crap on stage. Dave Weiner on the other hand is decent. Keneally is pretty good. I dont know much of stuff but I heard some clips on his website.

Do The Stu- I remember a comic that ran for a while, probably about 15 years ago or so, called "Scream"- and it had this storyline where each week some nasty person got in the lift which took them to the 13th floor (which didn't really exist) where they met their doom.
It rocked! But it went out of circulation eventually.

Hoiguy, thanks for the encouragement, by the way!
OpticalStudio- wow you certainly know a thing or two about recording then! Thanks for all your info and advice, I found it most interesting. I will certainly ask you for advice when we eventually buy some equipment. What is your website address by the way? Or is there a link to it on the www.talk2joe.com website? Will try to investigate!
I was especially interested in what you said about when you received an honorable mention in the 03 John Lennon songwriting contest for your composition for "the song "one Step." That's quite something, you should be very proud! How did you find out about the contest? Do you go in for many? My husband has always wanted to enter classical guitar competitions overseas, but as of yet hasn't done any.
Anyway thanks again!

OpticalStudio- I managed to get a link to the cdbaby webpage- had a listen to Morning Light and thought it was great! Unfortunately my computer doesn't have the greatest sound quality, so couldn't fully appreciate it. I would like to buy a copy, but will they ship it to the UK?

do the stu:
Does it say a lot? You bet it says a lot. Look at it this way, the republicans are constantly showing polls non stop about how Bush is leading against Kerry. I have watched Fox news to see what side of the story they have. The Democratic leaders, on the other hand, are not blatantly showing "support" polls. They do the real campaign as compared to propaganda which Republicans use as their key strategy. So when Kerry gets endorsed in Crawford, relatively its a bigger blow to the republicans as opposed to Bush being endorsed in Kerry's hometown.
That says a lot, if you are able to understand it. Again, I always find you criticising the Dems. Are you sure you're not voting Republican?
Wipe my ass with "powdawhr."
962: lmao at your comment about the (mis)guided missiles. I do not understand how you can "guide" a missile and tell it not to blast an innocent civilian's head. good work bro.
NewsMan: Even though you have come out as a major cock to me, I like your politics and your sarcasm. Post more often.

Austin, yeah that bit of news broke about 10 minutes before I posted it. It was fairly near the top of the BBC News at 10, and the british media is more accustomed to broadcasting things like that than the US Media is, becuase they're not bothered about the consequences.
DamnIMissNamm, I didn't see the fucking newspaper. Jesus, you really cluth at straws when somebody says something you disagree with don't you. I wouldn't be overly suprised if you turned out to be racist too, and homophobic.
Jazzy, "Crawford"...that's the kiddie! I was trying to remember the name!
On Tony Mac, people might think you're silly for not liking him, but that would be very narrow-minded. We're all entitled to our own opinion! I've heard a little of his stuff with Planet X and it was ok, but I could mix it up with Dream Theater and not be able to tell the difference.
I think Tony is good and suits the Vai stage but I can understand not liking him - kinda like my feelings on Petrucci. The man is a monster, but he only hits a couple of my buttons!
Nr Nick, okay let me put it like a shoting range;
You're on a range and you got one minute, and only 30 rounds, and you have to hit 30 targets. There are only thrity targets, which requires a hit accuracy of exactly 100%.
If you are suddenly given 60 targets and you have to hit 30, that doubles the chance that all your 30 rounds will hit a target.
So, by projecting an image at double the frame-rate we can see, there is double the chance that your eyes will register a visual frame every time they recieve a signal, and thus reduces the chance that you will see a moving image as a jerky, stop-frame progression!
Any better?! hehe
Fretslayer, haha, yeah Toto are still going strong. I saw them earlier this year in London and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen, they were really on form. Luke's playing almost reduced me to tears, people can say what they like about him, but he impresses the hell outta me.

optical - are you happy with the tone you get from your rig right now?? if you are, then why change anything...
962 - when I was referring to bush getting me killed....
I was hinting at girlies bush...
me playing with bushes that are out of bounds..
and me getting killed either by:
my wife [in my sleep]
the guy my wife hires to do the job
the owner of the girlie that owns the bush... lol...
or all of the above... lol...
the US and involvement in Panama - seems like the Panama canal is the reason to me... the US must have Panama as a close ally.. given that the US navy is centered around the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the ability to transfer resources between the two oceans would seem to be a pretty obvious need.. the time and cost of sailing around Latin America when compared to using the Panama canal means that it is strategically important to keep that resource available and in 'friendly' hands..
UK in the Gulf, Tony was not only interested in the 'economic' prize, that much is clear to me. Like our US allies, the UK deemed it vital to their national and secondly global interests to keep oil flowing.. and the bulk of production must be handled by nations that are not hostile to the western nations.. forget the WMD bullshit, that was an 'excuse'.. the real reason [as it appears to me] was a growing hostility to the west by Arab oil producing nations and a gradual destablisation of the region.. and therefore a threat to oil production...
also some Iranian intervention nudged us all towards war too as they encouraged via the distribution of mis-information the Anglo-American invasion..
at the end of the day, the Anglo-American military planners didn't really need much of an excuse...
when you look at the broader picture, both Gulf wars are in my view largely justified... and I'm inclined to believe that 70% of sensible and educated Iraqis would most likely agree that in the long term, the invasion should bear good fruit..
the Mongols and Rome???... bro.. I'm sure that those guys never met... at a guess I'm sure that they were divided by at least 500 years... the invasions from the east during the height of Rome were the Goths and the Huns.. and I'm not so sure that the Gothic migration had no impact on the British Isles.. because I think that may have been the trigger for the Saxon, Angol and Jute invasions / migrations westwards that began around 350AD and ended around 600AD...
if those invasions hadn't occurred... we'd all be speaking Welsh...

cuthert - I've been thinking about the 'freedom' and 'war' question in general.. prompts me to ask a question..
could it be considered that freedom and long term prosperity of you nation are intertwined??? even loosely..??
if you think that is the case, then I think it'd be reasonable to assume that most wars our nations enter are to some degree justified...
so the primary reason is long term prosperity.. the secondary reason is "freedom"....
can our nations be truly free if they are not prosperous??
I dunno...
but when you're selling the idea of a war to Joe Blo..
the secondary reason becomes the first choice... lol..
so I guess you're right about Pearl Harbour... The US knew it needed to join in to WW2..
so she stuck out it's chin knowing full well Japan would take a swing at it...
then it's much easier to get the folks at home to rally around the flag and support the effort at large....
it's not the first time that little scam has been used and it won't be the last ..
mikesb - I don't think that the war debate is depressing at all..
interesting more than anything else...
A Hooters in China??.... lmao.... Chinese girlies although often very pretty, are not really famed for their hooters... lmao..
michelle - it ain't that funny when you sling it up the hula and it don't touch the sides...
if anything, it's pretty disturbing...
even thinking about it means that I am mentally damaged enough to need councelling..
dam - I don't know if you've done this already....
try looking into Churchill's accounts of the war in Sudan.. this was before to Boer War.. Churchill was there as a young man.. his account of the battle of Omdourman [spelling is probably miles out] and the events leading up to it are very interesting and beautifully writen..
a first hand account of a war between the British Empire forces and the Sudanese / Dervishers that is well worth investigation...

Good afternoon everybody. How's it hangin'?
Clarky - Have you heard Fear Factory's new album 'Archetype'? Dude, you'd fucking love it. Heavy as hell. The loss of Dino Cazares doesn't seem to have affected them in any big way; they're just a little less industrial sounding now.

Thank you for the birthday wishes.
We shall see about St. Louis - they are now down 0-2. Stranger things have happened.
I need to support Boston - since St. Louis is the nemisis of the Cubs (but I am more of a White Sox than Cubs fan, but support both teams, except in head to head competition)
