mikesb, what? No Rob Zombie for Halloween? lol! I'd have to say Alice is in the #1 spot for sure.

Steven, things are good here at the moment. Here's hoping that your move goes smooth like butta!

Suzie, make sure to get a second opinion. They tried to tell my oldest sister she had asthma. The meds made her choke and cough worse than what she did without it. Her lips were purple for the longest time (weeks/months). I actually sat with her in the ER during one of her many episodes. She was coughing continuously and couldn't breathe. She told them that the breathing treatments made her worse, but they insisted she needed one. After coughing and gagging so hard she would throw up during the treatment, they finally came back in to check her oxygen level. It was lower...just like she told them it would be. After a long time, and many tests, they finally figured out she has bad lungs. She occasionaly needs to be put on Prednisone (sp?) among other meds for her episodes. Hopefully your problem is just a reaction to a bad cold and nothing more.

joe... it was great to meet you again (10-22). i didn't talk to you as much as i wanted - for some reason i felt like i was taking up your "precious time" and left without saying everything i wanted to. to refresh your memory, here's one of the photos we had together. joe&zonin like i said, my friend recorded the experience hendrix concert last february. i then transferred the show to a fellow T2J friend here and he gave it to you at a hollywood record store appearance. i have seen many concerts in my day, but i will always hold that one as being top of the list! anyways, i really wanted to ask what it was like to play with billy and mitch onstage in that type of setting. also wanted to tell you it was my birthday that night - wasn't looking for an instrumental of happy b'day, but i drove in from minnesota that day and i totally spaced it off. i also wanted to give you a cd containing one song of mine i feel more than worthy of a "T2J vol. 2" CD - i guess i'll just hope someone else involved with that whole thing asks me for an mp3. i got a bit tongue tied with you - i have felt that a few times over the last year having met people like ray manzarek and robby krieger and ian astbury - you think of all these questions and comments before hand - then BAMM, there they are, and nothing. just so you know, the show you played was the best i've seen to date - and i've seen about 15 shows prior to this. motorcycle driver, war, strange, the traveler among several other fantastic tracks - wow. still blown away days later. you are, and always have been a true inspiration. many thanks to you for all your efforts.

Hi all! Just thought I'd pop by on this beautiful first day of November. Anyone would have to be forgiven for thinking it was summer already. Oh yeah, it's a public holiday here too. Free parking, yeah!

Delfino: I hope you washed your hands before posting.

re Alice Cooper: he became a Christian a couple of years ago, and no longer sings his old stuff. Interesting.

I'm on air tonight by myself for the first time, I hope I don't get too nervous and panic, because there's no backup plan! If things go toilety it's too bad. Should be okay though.

hey people. im buying a new amp this week cos well i need one!! i was just wondering if ppl had any thoughts on the following amps and if they could help me make a decision. ive read some reviews but i trust satch fans more. ok the amps (in order of price)are:

Crate GT212
Peavey Bandit (transtube)
Marshall Mg250DFX
Fender stage 100

Delfino, Nuno Bettencourt is probably the best I can think of, with regards to exemplary material for arpeggios. He uses them to their best in a lot of Extreme solos, and they sound really cool.

If you can find some string-skipping examples learn them cause they sound awesome.....if not, let me know and I'll see if I can help out with tabbing some or something.

Arpeggios are something I need to work on too, but you should find them endlessly exploitable for all sorts of things. Apart from being the basis of sweeping, you can also slow them down drasticaly to write decent melodies which don't just sound like scales! For example, Love Thing uses bits of arpeggios, carefully structured to make that divine melody.

Clarky - I got the application form for that grant I was telling you about today; from the Music Sound Foundation. It's a thing set up by EMI. Hopefully, I'll get all the extra shit I need like the tutor references and written quotes by the end of this week so I can get it snt it off ASAP. Fingers crossed!!!

Matt King - I checked out your track and I have to say that I think that is probably your best work so far. Quite simply stunning!!!

To all who havent yet checked out my version of Crystal Planet I would like to know your opinions so Click here and check it out.

Aarren, I know there are a lot of good players on this site, but you are very, very good! I had a few minutes to listen to a couple of your cover tunes. You rock!

Michelle - Thanks for your kind words, especially from a seasoned veteran (lol!!!) like yourself. Glad you enjoyed them.

achoo

I received an email from Fanfire with the web site link.

Michelle:thanks darlin,i figured as my partner had been so understanding as t allow me t go the full hog on music,the least i could do was give her a better place t live in.Needless t say shes totally made up.We,ve been livin in a shithole for the better part of 2 years & when it got the stage of walls startin t fall apart & small animals running around due t landlord incompetence...well,that gave the green light t get the F**k out.Could have renovated myself but its not my prob,typical crap y have t put up with when y dont own property.Gettin cable/lead/wire hell linked up & running smooth at mo,well... y know the score,been there done that,read the book,bought the t-shirt,lol

Ovation 1:Yo skipper,back from the storm? looked like hell let loose not just on US turf! Hope alls well with y bud

Hey Everyone. Back from Mexico. It was a very rewarding trip. I felt like I did a little good down there. It was interesting, I met a doctor from the town I went to, Oaxaca, and he does volunteer work with the farm workers here in Oregon! It was very ironic that the two of us were doing very similar things in each others countries because each country is too fucked up to take care of their own.

If any of you are planning to take a vacation. I would recommend going to Oaxaca. There are many interesting things to do, lots to see and the weather is good.

Well off to study. Nothing like two mid terms the day you get back from another country.
