civgeek, unemployment is a big part of the crime - always. You can go to http://www.readingberkspa.com/home.asp and check out all we have to offer...besides crime. LOL! The railroad was Conrail when I was growing up. Not sure what's going on with it now, but many trains still roll by every day.

SupaaDave, The Extremist is one of my favorite Satch cd's.

pp0 - I don't really think EVH was a major influence on Joe Satriani. You are correct about Alan Holdsworth, though...he influenced Joe's legato style.

Okay, but that's also probably true with people all throughout the world as well.

"I disagree on Jazzzzy being insensitive and intolerant"

Saying 98% of the 51% of people who voted for Bush (Where did he come up with that number?) are "white trash nascar worshipping trailer park douchebags." is not being insensitive or intolerant?

I know you don't like Bush, but you haven't called Bush supporters names like that. Other Kerry supporters here haven't called people names like that. 99% of the country didn't vote for the candidate I voted for, and I haven't called people names like that.

It's completely unnecessary to do that to try to prove a point. Making mass assumptions based on absolutely nothing leads to ugliness. People get pissed off and start calling other people names and it escalates. It makes this a miserable message board to read.

"but just doesn't like it when some people...tell him that he is wrong."

I would like to know when he visted the 58,270,569 people that he referred to in his statement in order to find out that they are in fact "white trash nascar worshipping trailer park douchebags".

"but opinion is "abstract"."

His statement was not an opinion, it was an attack / insult directed towards half of the country. He has done this countless times concering a wide variety of topics since he's been here. Opinions are fine, but this stuff isn't needed... It's completely unnecessary, and it causes a ton of crap on this message board that just shouldn't be here.

You are very wrong.

Your verbal attacks on people are not sarcasm.

"where the hell was your post to DammMissNamm when he popped up and started almost teasing that Bush won."

Link me to the post you're talking about. I searched through his posts and didn't see stuff nearly as bad as the thing you said (that I mentioned above).

"If you dont like my posts, kindly skip it unless its something thats very very offensive."

It was offensive. I didn't skip it.

"When Suppadave talked about pissing on the Koran, you lips were shut."

Show me that post. I don't remember reading it. I just did a search and I didn't find it.

"I know you have a grudge on me"

I have told you several times in the past on this very site that I do not have a grudge against you.

I do wonder why you find it necessary again and again to constantly throw insults around on this website. Many people here don't do that, and those that do don't do it nearly as often as you do.

I would like to know why you find it necessary to insult other people instead of just disagreeing with their ideas. I have asked you this more than once in the past, and you have never answered me.

My younger brother has that pedal. He bought it with Christmas money about two or three years ago. He got it for a clearance price that was, IIRC, close to the price of the "normal" Dunlop wah.

I've messed around with it a few times...it's a very cool pedal. I have a lot of fun with it...I can get a few cool Satch tones (the wah solo from You Saved My Life, for example) out of it with ease, and I'm not really even a guitarist.

Do the stu: Here is the post which has been edited by SuppaDave

Why does'nt Osama Bin Laden come out of hiding and take his lumps like a man? Does the Koran instruct Muslims to be cowards too?

OpticalStudio-

Hi, I know how stressful moving can be- in England buying even a flat can turn into your worst nightmare! We bought one a year ago, and straight after we moved in so did this DIY freak of a guy above us, and he spent 9 months hammering, sawing... it made our lives hell! Anyway we decided in the end the place wasn't for us, and put it up for sale, found a new place... then right at the last minute the person who was going to buy our flat pulled out- and there's nothing we could do. So now we've got another buyer and just have to pray this one goes through ok!! Sorry to ramble on but I think I'm still half-asleep... Good luck with it all!!

Optical studio: hang in there bro!

hey joe! are you EVER going to visit the Philippines? i grew up listening to all this guitar stuff by Di Meola, Vai, Reinhardt, You (of course, my mom's favorite lol), Petrucci, Malmsteen, Howe, Segovia, and all those other guitar gods...i've gotten quite addicted, i broke my heart over "Love Thing" and i can't tear myself away from "House Full of Bullets" and "Summer Song"....

oh, and if you do come to the Philippines...

here are some local people you should see play, they're really good!

if ever you come here, that is.

-cynthia alexander the official webpage (though i think it's under construction at the moment) and this other link is the yahoo e-group of the same artist

-razorback (i dont remember the links...)

AAAARGH! when are you EVER gonna come here?

Jazzzy, Nice Pic...I see you're well fed,strong happy boy...by the way...whatchya cookin in the smoka?

Jazzy, a true chameleon. Are you supposed to be the plant, or the grill, or maybe the drink on the table? You can't be the dog. He looks to mellow - and would you check out that huge smile! I think your the grill. Nice legs ;-)

I miss Mikey up in here.
