Joe -

Have you ever played with Frank Gambale? I know Stu has and what a shred fest.

Pretty halarious. I heard she actually blamed the band.

Ashley, the next sound you hear will be your career going down the toilet.

Speaking of funny s*&t,

We have had some pretty political banter over the last couple of days. So sunday is for Football (NFL) and ug-gugs.

Laughed my ass off.

Just bought g3 live in denver, it rocks!!! cant believe i didnt buy it sooner!!!

Im lookin round for a nu amp/fx processor and im not sure what to go for, do i get a podxt and run it through my old valvestate or do i just splash out on a nu amp like a fender hot rod or sumthin? i'm into everythin (appart from this nu-metal nonsense!) and dont really wanna spend too much. (i play a strat mainly btw)

Hey Joe! Are You thinking about gift to me some stuff you don´t need? I´m sure you have old guitars or FX or wathever you won´t use anymore whom I can´t afford pay for! Please, I dream with the day You post me back.

Jazzy, you don't like Tony Mac? I personally think he's great, but I'm not a huge Colson fan. However, he's got a hot cousin? exxxcellent. hehe

You know, it's really refreshing to see someone my age in the US understanding a more realistic point of view on the middle eastern crisis! I don't mean for that to sound at all patronising by the way. hehe. Anyway yeah, I agree on the complete lack of exit strategy for iraq. I guess there was the general assumption that we/they wouldn't need one, cause by the time the 'allies' had 'liberated' Iraq, they'd have an open ended pass to come and go as they please, because they would be seen as gods among men. What a load of crap.

Also, I hate how the whole thing has been arranged on western political terms, ie. "if we do this, they will do this because they couldn't morally do anything other than that" which is completely misguided, when you're dealing with a foreign culture. All the planning should have been under the guidance of somebody who understands the culture and faith on which the middle east is built.

If you see at 30 frames per second, you want to watch at more than that to maximise the chance that your brain will register every frame, giving a smooth transition in sequences of movement. If you see at 30fps and are watching a projection of 30fps, there is a higher chance that the projection and reception will get out of sync, and the transitions will look jerky.

This is why sound is commonly recorded and played at twice the maximum wavelength the human ear can communicate. It's a mechanism to ensure that your ears will recieve all frequencies (tones, sounds, wavelenghts) and not miss anything out.

I hope that makes some kinda sense...

Hope you have an excellent time in South America with Robert!

I just heard that the local newspaper of George W's home-town in Texas, voted for John Kerry. In response, George W is trying to get said newspaper shut down.

OpticalStudio- what did you record in '03? Was it original material, covers, or what style? I know what you mean, the experience of recording music is great. I would be grateful to hear any info or advice you have about home recording equipment, as I will be looking into that at some point! In England everything is so much more expensive though. Sometimes I feel like I can't even draw breath in London without it costing me quids! Thanks for your good wishes. All the best with your moving house stuff- we are in the middle of a house move so know how it feels... we had some idiot pull out the day before our contracts got exchanged... still! Fingers crossed for you too.

ATN, SGs ROCK!!

jelly man - Wow! I just listened to those sound clips, and I'll definitely pick up that Neal Morse album. I don't know much about Neal (or Spock's Beard), but he recorded that album with Phil Keaggy AND Mike Portnoy? Awesome.

That's also true at some hotels here. There won't be a room 13 or a floor 13.

"Endorsed" is more accurate than "voted for", but yes.

"In response, George W is trying to get said newspaper shut down."

Where did you hear that? I'm fairly familiar with this story and I haven't heard that anywhere. So, unless that bit of news broke within the past few hours, I'd have to say it isn't true.

The newspaper might go out of business because it has been flooded with complaints from its readers and local businesses have refused to sell it...but those things have nothing to do with Bush. Those things are a result of the newspaper taking an editorial position that opposes the position held by the majority of its readers. Click here for more info...

Also, for what it's worth, the Lowell Sun, Kerry's hometown newspaper, has endorsed Bush. Click here...

DCK: You like Tony Mac? I have heard his solo stuff and see him with Vai and wasnt impressed. Not my style, sorry. Well, I know that you dont like John 5 or Slash. I think these are some of the most kick ass guitarists out there.

Optical Studio: Moving out? Shoot man. That sucks. I know whats its like going back to the hometown. I sure dont ever want to go back to my hometown (Burnsville, MN). That place used to drive me insane! I always thought the Mall of America was a piece of shit! The only place they sold guitars at was Sam Goody. Growing up next to world's biggest mall can lead to severe depression!

962: Thanks man! Tony Mac...I can see why people like him, but he never pressed my button! dont know why, just isnt my style. People can call me silly for saying he sucks, but I dont give a shit.

and yes, colson's cousin sis is exxxcellent! lol!

Thats awesome!

George W. Bush's hometown (Crawford, TX) endorsed Kerry!

That really says a LOT!

962 - Jazzersise,

I just heard that the Aurora colorado "Thrifty Nickle newspaper" endorses Bush. "yuk Yuk, Ug-gug"

I thought you were for thinking for yourselves?

Namm Man

Edit -

Suzie 2000 Great you are thinking on studing, I like to think that any profesional that has to be in contact with human beens has to be the most trained ones, because if we do not know how to approuch to the ones that we are trying to help, we may hurt them in the worst way someone can be hurt Emmotional and psychologicaly.
So keep on the hard work, I like to think as if we are just a bridge between god's love and the one that needs help; we are just the way gods approuchs to them.
