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!

jazzzzzzzy

Just finished with the enya and reflecting on my life.

No guilt, no remorse, peace sells but who's buying.

I think ill smoke a doob and play guitar.....

Do the Stu:

Thanks for the info. You're a life saver.

To All:

I'm noticing that this is a very politically charged message board, and it has become increasingly complicated. Allow me to clarrify the issues for you.

1) President Bush Was A Male Cheerleader!!!! A Former Coke Head!! And Firmly Believes That God Personally Chose Him to Lead The Righteous Americans into Judgement Day. (scarry don't you think?)

2)Senator Kerry Bears a Strong Resembalance To Mr. Ed. And Senator Kerry has little to no testicles left after riding the fence for so long.

Given what the current global opinion is of America, and especially our leader, I'd say we're in desperate need of a leader who commands respect. Not just for being uncompromising in his set of values, but also having a set of values that are in synch with reality. Friends, when you vote, choose the lesser of the two evils. Face it, No Matter what You're Screwed Anyway.

DCK - Got the CD. I will get onto trying to create a press pack tomorrow.

Aarren

cuthbert1776: Thanks man :-) I'll be in and out weekly as my schedule does not permit much internet time.... My internet time is 100% at home only because I work on aircraft, lol.... I'm trying to fit guitar into my free schedule more than it used to be, so using the T2J time was the best choice.... lol, I'm sure JOE wont mind, haha! ;-)

Anyway, it's good to see you guys, and make sure you vote for a leader that will make you think and hope.... ;-)

l8ta peeps....

Your mum for G3.

I won a pair of the internet backstage passes to meet Joe tomorrow night. My question is for anybody that has won before.

I have a JS1000 guitar and am dying to get it signed, can I take it backstage, how does that work?

Austin......thanks...at least now I know I was'nt seeing something miraculous...lol....pretty cool trick anyways. The best trick he did was walking into Compton with a camera crew and not getting robbed..lol !

Michelle......he's a superfreak !

Ashlee's excuse is almost believable.....I guess I have issues with the "little sister wants to be famous too" thing.....they should send her back to Nickelodeon for some "slime time live" action ;)

guitarded boy

As for getting your guitar signed, I saw 2 people getting theirs signed - they had the Platinum package. They were allowed to have their guitar left at the coat check, and pick it up after the show to be signed.

Guitarded boy, take the back plate and leave the guitar at home. That way there will be NO worries about damage or theft. Just my 2 cents, unless you want Joe to sign the body :) Congrats on the passes!

MIKEY!!! Holla!! lol!

Do the Stu- thanks! Unfortunately my computer is a bit ancient, and can cope with sound but not video! That sounds hilarious! Wish I had seen that!

Cheese101- the Musicians Institute sounds a good move for your son- all the best with that. It is so good that he found the guitar! You have a very positive attitude too. :-)

OpticalStudio- yep I saw your other stuff on there too. Will let you know when it arrives! Probably take a couple of weeks. Thanks for the address re. the John Lennon Songwriting Contest- oh dear we're a bit late for this one, but it is good to know for the next one! Thanks again. Sorry to hear your bad news, your month's notice, is that work or where you are living? Hope you sort something out, sometimes bad things happen for a reason?

hola yo me gustaria esta vez escribirte en espaņol por que puedo comunicarme mejor. primero que nada quiero darte las gracias por la inspiracion y por ser uno de mis primeros profesores. gracias a tu forma de ver la musica conoci la melodia y que la velocidad es solo un recurso para expresar lo que sientes . hoy tengo 20 aņos y soy guitarrista de un grupo chileno de rock progresivo en abril vamos a mexico a un festivall llamado bajaprog. y despues comienza una gira por u.s.a si dios quiere. solo queria compartir esto contigo aunque ya se que es muy improbable que contestes este tipo de mensajes , ya que deben llegarte a cada momento. bueno espero que tu carrera continue como siempre impecable y estare esperando que lleguen a chile a fin de aņo. adios.
