Stevee T - I don't know if an idea like that would be a good one...well, at least, I don't think the earlier suggestions (along the lines of "Who can be the best Joe Clone?") are good ideas. I just can't see Joe going for something like that.

I'm not Joe, though, so maybe he will be interested in it...I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I don't think it's necessary for you to post that message every day, though. People have done that before and it drives many of us nuts very quickly. If you sent it to Joe's manager, I'm sure he'll pass it along if he thinks Joe would be interested in it.

LOL...that's a great line. It sounds like something Steven Tyler would write, but I know it isn't from an Aerosmith song...

Who wrote it?

I said it is not representative of the entire issue.

Logically, the argument makes no sense. If you study logic and understand arguments, premises, and conclusions, you will see that. Carlin's monologue is funny because it is illogical and makes no sense.

I did not mention my pro-life stance in my criticism of the monologue. Carlin could have said the opposite (he could have gone on about the "Liberals don't care about babies in the womb, but they want to take care of them as soon as they're born." point of view), and it still would have been illogical.

"it has made perfect sense to a lot of people"

How do you know that?

"I dont see what's so illogial[sic] about it."

He uses blanket statements that don't make sense.

He says all pro-life people are killing doctors who provide abortions. I have never killed and do not plan on killing an abortion doctor, and I have never met a pro-life person who has killed or plans on killing an abortion doctor.

Catholics don't approve of abortions. For entirely different reasons, they don't approve of homosexuality. The two issues are unrelated, and it is illogical to try to combine them.

Is the monologue funny? Yes. Is it logical? No. Does it make sense? No.

That is my point.

Owner Of A Lonely Heart is from the album 90125 (the name is the same as the album's catalog number). The album, released in 1983, is a "different" Yes album (just as the red album and EOC are "different" Satch albums)...it was not recorded by their most famous lineup.

You kinda answered your own question there. Satch is most likely on the list to cause controversy, promote discussion, and increase magazine sales.

I didn't film it, and I don't remember who did. I'm hosting it because the guy who did film it took it down from the web after a short period of time. If someone here knows who did film it, please let me know (in the interest of giving credit where credit is due).

The incorrectly labeled "Heart Of The Sun" was a Satch improv recorded over a backing track that appeared on a sound page (Or was it a CD?) that came with some guitar magazine several years back.

EDIT - 90125, not 90215...

Zenfish - Those are both great Yes albums as well...but I was trying to keep my list short. ;-) If you mention those albums, you also have to mention The Yes Album. And, of course, you can't leave out Yessongs (Clarky's favorite). That one might be #3 for me.

Yuck. I hate hangovers...

But I went to see two really great bands last night - Season's End and Desolation. There were actually three bands playing but the first one was pretty dreadful...

Anyway, one of my classmates is the bassist in Season's End and I was otally blown away by them. The drummer was amazing, and their singer had this voice that just kind of sucks you in and forces you to listen. Quite creepy really...

Desolation were the main act, and in case you couldn't have guessed, were a bit like Opeth - really technical, death metal kind of stuff. Great riffs and solos, and their vocalist had amazing stamina to sing like that for an hour and a half. The only probem was that their drmmer had absolutely zero soul. He looked thoroughly bored throughout their set. Shame...

And tomorrow I see EUROPE!!!!! Bring on the cheese!!! lol

Zenfish....

"Blue Jean Blues. ZZtop (Fandango).

Do you want to listen to some pure feeling? Listen to this song!"

You are a nasty dog and a funky king! ..lol....

Nam Mann

Zenfish....

"1977 is the begining of the end for the genius of YES. "

Did you ever listen to Changes or Leave It on 90215? I believe it was their best work. Ahhhh Harmony and Melody two of my favorite people.....

I've just been pondering this thought: At what point does late become early?

Hmmm...

Delfino, you finished it? Shit man, you work hard! You know the bit where you're in the temple and you have to kill the prophet? I'm there right now! hehe, it's taking me a while, but I am doing it all on Heroic.

It has 2 settings - boost and drive. The drive actually adds proper, smooth, very warm, creamy overdrive, like a TS-9 but fatter. The boost setting is excellent - it just boost the signal, with a little tonal control as well, so if you use it with another overdrive pedal, like a DS-1, it can give it the kick up the ass that it needs. Also, if you use the boost setting with your clean channel, you'll get the natural broken glass feel of a just-overdriven clean channel and a Strat, kinda like Clapton and Stevie-Ray. If you use the boost on the dirty channel, you get a more ballsy crunch. If you use the boost on the dirty channel with your guitar's tone wound off, you get a BB King type sound.

We put it on and although it was skipping quite a bit, it sounded ace. Also, I swear some bits are different to those that Vai released on CD a couple of years ago! It's cool....I dunno what to do with it though! maybe I'll try and get his signature on it or something!

My younger son (6 years), yesterday after a very pleasent bathing-session when we were leaving the sauna/pool -department (wife and the older son had already left upstairs):

"Daddy...do you remember that tune:
~waw-waw-waw-waaah-- waw-waw-waw
waw-waw-waw-waaah-- waw-waw-waw~ ?"
("THE TRAVELLER" from SBM)

I smiled and said: "Kyllä muistan, poikani. Mennään kuuntelemaan se!"
Edit: ...sorry, translation: "Yes, my son. I do. Let's go and listen to it!"

962 - Well, I reckon 4:00am is still late. But then again, that's only if I''m still up. If I had to get out of bed at 4:00am for whatever reason (fuck that right in the ass!!!) then I definitely wouldn't say I got up late. And if you have to get up really early, at what point do you say "fuck it - there's no point going to bed."?

Master Yoda + 962

Do The Stu, I agree with everything you've said, except continous posting & Joe's Manager...will Joe's Manager forward the idea & let Joe decide? A large response from our community might be just what the doctor ordered.

Joe Clone...it would be a gas, but you're right...Joe might not go for it, but he might roll on the floor laughing when he looks up and see's 5 guy's all w/shaved heads, all dressed in black tees & pants with Red wrap around sunglasses playing Red JS1200's (which Joe will supply as an added bonus to winners, or the bass or drums of your choice).

Would you enter, if you could play Bass on stage with Joe?

Do you remember, who made the original post?

I don't want to drive anyone crazy by posting the message on a regular basis, but a month passes soooooo quickly....soon it'll be Spring, then Summer, then Heaven, and beyond!!!!!!!

Stevee T - An interesting slant on the topic under discussion. Thank you.

civgeek, I know it's an easy one, but zinc didn't know it by just the last line, so I added more.

Austin, it's Creepshow by Skid Row :)

Yoda, happy hangover. Hold the cheese. lol!

962, you got any ID?? lol!

Jazzy, "a lassie with big whams! " ROTFLMAO!

I woke up this morning with this song rolling around in my head ~

"Now I'm staring down the barrel of a .45"

Anybody know what it's called and who sings it?
