Austin, That doesn't excuse his behavior here. .....WRONG! You should say "In my opinion, that doesn't excuse his behaviour here". Joe has his board labelled as a "kind of free-for-all". It being free for all, I feel it's perfectly acceptable for people to express themselves in whatever manner seems fit.

I mean god, it's only fair. Namm Man and I fully debated a subject which we have very much opposed opinions on, but at no point did either of us say "you can't say that".

Wolf2 doesn't make the slightest inkling of sense, but he's generally accepted, it seems, and all the better for it. My saying that jazzzy, like me, is someone who is easily irritated was not me sharing my thoughts on why you should excuse his behaviour - it was my effort to help you understand his behaviour......when you can understand someone and what motivates them, you can best judge the way you react to them......in the long run, it's much easier than trying to change someone.

hehe, I didn't really just randomly pick those figures outta the air!

It also depends on what kinda music is your style. Considering you said you love Joe's music, I would guess that you like to play stuff in a notably Joe-influenced style? If so, then yeah, learning all those things you mentioned is a good idea!

Years ago, joe wrote articles for a guitar magazine, and those articles were, more recently, compiled into a book called "Guitar Secrets" or something straightforward like that. I recommend getting it (try amazon, it's realy cheap), it explains everyting really well in there!

Hi Joe. Haven't made a show.... yet. Hope life is good. xo

Tastey - I saw what the bleep do we know? a few weeks ago and I loved it. We are so darn programmed. I told my students( high school) about it , that it questions our sense of reality. I loved the animated cells and wedding scenes. Our general sense of empowerment is so low. I've been reading and talking about this stuff for some years now, love it.

Satchurated Feedback is a great cd, very impressed. I wish you all the best in your musical careers.

Favorite album : A tie....CP & ITLIS

Biggest album for the time : SWTA

~~~now back to my regularly scheduled homework program~~~~

Hope all in Satchland have a good evening!

Zen - the ultimate path to creativity is found via a healthy blend of a willingness to absorb anything and everything... all styles, all instruments, techniques, technologies, no bounderies... and drive this with a curiosity for experimentation, imagination and creativity...

musique sans frontiers

here's a nice introduction...
before you learn to tear it up like a shredder, learn tio riff...
the riff is the vibe, the attitude... the aggression....

every tried learning all riffs to Unleashed in the East by Judas Priest????
so the album is a little dated... however... the riffs are still relavent today...
they're not too tough... no Drop-D tuning..
and you'll pass though a raft of techniques from power chords, single note riffs, muted riffs with power chord accents.. etc...
another nice riff school is found in the first two Dio albums..

if you fancy some qulity riffing but less metal centric try learning Strangers in the Night by UFO and Live and Dangerous by Thin Lizzy - and these two also contain great rock solos that are playable

once you start picking up the pace of your playing then raise the level of difficulty...
if you feel inclinded to head for the EVH and Malm albums..
then do it gradually and pass though other simpler albums first..

no point in going to the dojo and studying 1st dan kata on the first day..

now with the really hardcore metal bands like Slipknot and Fear Factory there are a few things you need to appreciate first....

1 - they are shit tight: why? partly because they are better players than many give them credit, partly because they drop tune which makes riffing much easier and also because of the production tools in the studio

2 - they have a giant sized tone: why? because the guitar parts are 'tracked' [recorded many times in unison and over laid] to fatten the tone...

so... you'll never sound like them or be that tight...
in fact, live they can't 100% recreate it either...

but that don't stop you learning the riffs..

sounds to me as though you're in need of "riff replacement therapy".. lol..

good luck and enjoy the ride... and questions... just shout..

then I realised... it's all lies... I'm not reformed at all...
and I'm not proud... I just don't give a shit...
so if all that was my fault... I didn't even notice... lmao....

Avarice is my custom 7... she's been an active member of my harem for over a year now.. and is a key part of my new album.... and she's a babe.... shwing......

one of my cabs is real old... it was old when I got it and I've had it for years... lol.... years ago it cost £100..
my other cab is 18 months old and was something like £350.. it's nice.. and makes my old one look really scabby... lol..

anyways... I thought Brainspiller and Snuffmovie wasted him..
so this wolf2 must be a poor imitation of the original and late wolf... lol..

can any German speakers translate this for me????
I'd really appreciate it...

Sehr geehrter Herr Tebyl,

es freut mich, dass der Spot auf DSF positive Assoziationen bei Ihnen erzeugt hat. Die Musik wurde exclusiv für diesen Spot, der übrigens unter dem Namen "fluid motion" als Kampagne in ganz Europa zu sehen ist, komponiert. Der "Verursacher" dieser Musik ist Paul Clark. Tatsächlich existiert in unserem Hause nur unwesentlich mehr als das im Spot gezeigte. Aber vielleicht werden Sie hier fündig: http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/Paul_Clark/

mit freundlichen Grüßen,

cuthbert1776 - "You are overlooking one key thing. The Colts' defense SUCKS!!!"

LOL...yeah, I know. I think it would've been a shootout in the 40s or maybe even 50s, but I still think the Colts might've won. Then again, maybe I'm just thinking that because Manning is the quarterback on my fantasy football team and I want him to score more points. ;-)

If you don't want people to respond to comments that you post on a public message board, maybe you should email them to people privately.

"If there were any people I talked about it was no one on T2J."

You didn't say who you were talking about, so how was I supposed to know?

"Also, the person I talked about being intolerant to the right wing party was Fat Mike from NOFX."

You originally said "many people" not "the person".

"Are you some kind of police here?"

How am I acting like the police?

"You do not need to be the mouthpiece."

I was speaking for myself.

"My biggest issue with you is that you keep directing people what to post and what not to."

That is not true. I have said several times on this website that I have no problem with people having their own opinions.

"We do not need a moderator, which you are trying your hardest to be."

I am not trying to be a moderator.

"You need to get rid of your "holier than thou" attitude towards others."

I have no such attitude.

Hehehe...just think of it as an introduction, like The Bells Of Lal (Part I) or The Forgotten (Part I). It doesn't have to be understood on its own, it just gets you in the mood for the next part of the song.

Also, in Ricky Garcia's Jemfest Radio interview, Joe said he would like to film one of the upcoming west coast shows for a DVD release.

Several of the guys in my suite had colds last week. I didn't catch anything then, and it looks like they're over everything now...so I think I got lucky.

You're not understanding my point. "Behavior" and "opinions" are two different things. It's not an excuse for his behavior (mood, etc.). I didn't say anything about his opinion or his point of view. I've said before that I'm not trying to keep people from expressing their opinions.

I just took a test about an hour ago. If I find out next week that I failed it, does that mean it's okay for me to read T2J while I'm pissed off and upset, swear at everyone, and put them in lousy moods? Wouldn't it be better for everyone if I waited until I was in a good mood? Being in a bad mood because of one thing shouldn't be used as an excuse to be pissed off at other things in life.

"at no point did either of us say "you can't say that"."

I'm not saying that either. As I said before, I have no problems with opinions...it's the unnecessary swearing and namecalling that goes with them. That stuff just isn't needed. I said that in a post to you over the weekend.

"it was my effort to help you understand his behaviour"

I understand his behavior.

waz up people
