Thanks for the welcome!

Zinc Master....very funny! I wish I could say we were from some place "exotic" like Wisconsin, but born and raised right here in Oregon. The name "cheese101" came from my son in one of his more brilliant and creative moods :-) and he originally registered on this site with that name but never posted. When I decided to post I was "allowed" to use his nickname! And now I'm stuck with it I'm afraid!

It's a scary world we live in if we all fall into one of those 4 categories from your test!! Time to go live in the wilderness maybe?

Hey, anybody want to write a 500 word essay about apartheid including citations from three books and two articles for me? No? Didn't think so!

What' up ya'll?

ok here is something kinda cool for everyone in the milwaukee area....i have 2 extra tickets for tomorrow night at the pabst theater in the 4th row on the left side where joe stands most of the night that i will give to one person for free,since my buddy backed out at the last second but he paid me before hand, so i can make this a fun thing for one of my fellow die hard fans. now i want to make sure whoever gets them deserves them. so email me on why you should get them, and include a phone # where i can reach you tomorrow afternoon . i will pick the winner based on how well you prove to me that you are a satriani fan. my email address is satch_rules5150@yahoo.com

i live in the milwaukee suburb of west allis and i will drop the tix off if you are in the area. if you are not, we will make arrangements to meet before the show in front of the theater.

Jazzy, of your stereotypical Democrats, I do not buy shitty long skirts from street vendors (or any other vendor), excessively smoke pot (or poke smot at all), not shaving the southern hemisphere (it'a just a trim bro), being excessively PC (HA-HAAAAA!!), play hacky sack (I play in the sack, but it ain't hacky), bad mouth metalheads and say stuff like "how can you even understand that, it's all noise!" (people say that to me!) dreads (bedhead is as messy as it gets), getting wasted (Well, you got me there) and talking human rights and peace (it's my human right to get wasted, peace bro!) and the part that pisses me off the most...not practicing anything they preach. (As for the last one, I try :) LOL!!

Alexandre, hello honey, I am well. My knee was misbehaving again today, but it will get well again. It always does. How is Hadji? Give him a big hug from me, Moey, & Stewart!

Cheese 101, yes, when to push and when to back off is a challenge. My friend more or less gives in to just about everything her son wants to aviod a melt down. If he wants to go to the store across the street, they go. If he wants a toy, they get it. Stuff like that. He's about 9 or 10 now, and he's becoming quite a handful. Better in some things, but harder to handle in others. He also swears like a sailor, which doesn't go over well in public. He's very smart, and has a great memory, but every day is a challenge. She started taking him to doctors when he was almost 5 and he was talking so that only close family could understand him. Her mom rejected the idea of her taking him to a specialist because they would "label" him. Have you ever heard anything so stupid? I stood by her and told her that she had to do what was best for her son and her, and his life was in her hands. If she wasn't going to stand up for him and try to help him, he would never move forward. She did it, and she continues to do it. He has improved a lot since then, but still has a long way to go.

Steven, I'm good, thanks. I'm looking forward to some nice weather in the next few days. Cloudy days bum me out. Give me some sunshine on a cool fall day and I'm a happy camper :)

SupaaDave, David Blaine is a freak! lol!

Hehehe...we've gone the longest time without any questions about Joe's DS-1, and now it looks like we've had 3 or 4 questions about it in as many days.

Jippy - In the past, it seems that Joe has only done two of the three cities (Ventura, Los Angeles, Anaheim) on a tour leg. Since he already has shows in Ventura and Anaheim, it wouldn't surprise me if he skipped Los Angeles proper this time around...

Do you have a job? Would you work for free? Would your parents work for free? If not, then why should software developers?

School is going good for me... I'm finally finished with my midterms... I got a 111% on one that I took last week...woohoo! :-)

Also...if you accidentally post the same thing two or three times, you can edit the repeated posts and erase them completely. If you do that, it'll be easier for people to scroll down past the repeated messages (and they hopefully won't get mad at you for just making an honest mistake)...

michelle

Great come back to the stereotypes that a Pump, Pump, Squirt youngster likes to feign as experience. It's liberals like you that make me believe there IS LOVE IN SPACE.

Live Large And Love Life!

Michelle: Those are just meant to be stereotypes. My goal was to tell DammMissNamm that sometimes people built stereotypes because it is hard to get to know a person completely with just a few words being said (like here on the internet). stereotypes do not hold truth for the most part as everyone is different, but it makes sense collectively sometimes.

Alexandre: God Bless you man!

Bahduh: Dude, yes...I was joking. Congrats again!

dck: Yeah, Vertigo could have been better. But a good first solo album.

DammMissNamm: You seem to be in denial that you are a war crazed fanatic. As for me being a Pump Pump Squirt (whatever that means in your redneck dialect) I think you have reached mid life crisis and have insecurities about getting old. I think you need to buy an Enya album and reflect on your life as a misguided missile engineer. ]

Ibanez89: I would buy the Ibanez JS (a 1000 is the best one, i think). I would stay away from the (artigi)anal guitar, unless you are into that kind of stuff (hehe...)

Jblaze: God Bless you man, I hope everything works out well for you. Take care and hope to see smiling back at T2J. Peace.

Masterop, as far as we know, Joe doesn't teach any more, although he probably teaches his son from time to time!

With the guitar, I'd suggest using the neck pickup with the tone wound right on, for a cool, smooth slightly watery sound a-la Hill Groove, or the bridge pickup for something hotter like A Train Of Angels or any time you need some crunch like the beginning of Time.

I take it you don't have a Wah pedal? I would suggest getting one next time you have the spare ca$h. I would also thoroughly recommend the Morley Bad Horsie....I know Joe uses the Dunlop Crybaby a lot, but I've found the Bad Horsie very straightforward and 100% reliable, and I personally prefer it's tone!

I hope that helps in some way! hehe

Yeah George W and the Bush Administration (ie. his cronies) tried to get it shut down.

And it wasn't that which I was referring to with regard to sharing an opinion. I was referring to the fact that I just shared my opinion on the whole America/Bush/The American Colony of The Middle East thing but the concept of me sgaring an opinion was, to some, unacceptable.

It seems that that is unacceptable to you too. Well, neither Joe nor webmaster John have threatened to banish me for it, so I suggest that if you don't like what I have to say, you keep quiet and ignore me, rather than just trying to lay down this "I AM The Law" shit.

"I think you need to buy an Enya album and reflect on your life as a misguided missile engineer. " but that one was better. 10 points for the man in the jazzy corner, that cracked me up.

Do the Stu: I can tell you once again that you seem to be very easily offended everytime someone on this website seems to be a liberal. Not even once have I seen you criticize the Republican policies. Not that you should, but in general you seem very bent to the right. I know you are the guy who has been here the longest and the "know everything" guy, but please cut off the "I am the law" attitude here. It's coming off as being anal.

962: Thanks bro! Its kinda odd that JS_JS (redneck shit) pops up like that. I'll try to be more civil if they a chance. Well, shit! I am going to see Marilyn Manson and Megadeth real soon, and that should be a blast.

Bahduh: Newsman was not insulting you or anything of that sort. There are many light hearted jokes that come off as vile, but take it easy.

JS_JS

bahduh, tell us a little bit about your wonderful new son :)

Jblaze, have a safe trip! Don't know if you'll get to read this before you go, but take care, God Bless, and we'll be sending our good vibes to you every day till we hear from you again.

DamIMissNamm, I thought Jazzy's post on stereotypical Democrats was funny as hell. He's a good guy and I knew he was just trying to make a point. He has a quick trigger finger. If you come in here with your hands at your holster, he'll be the first guy standing 20 paces away lookin' ya in the eye. Hopefully things on here will calm down soon and we will go back to our regular irregular program.

Jazzy, "it is hard to get to know a person completely with just a few words being said (like here on the internet). stereotypes do not hold truth for the most part as everyone is different," I absolutely agree. First impressions are a bitch too. lol!

Ashley Simpson was on the Today show this morning. She said her acid reflux was acting up on Saturday and it took her voice. She said she has never used a backing track before, she writes all her own music, and always sings her songs live. Her drummer pushed the wrong button and played the first song twice. Ah well, shit happens. lol!

Happy Tuesday people!
