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

"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.....

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.
alexandre, no problem amigo! And yeah, Nuno's drumming experience also has a lot to do with his unbridled style of playing guitar, especially rhythm guitar. All the dead notes he uses and "Hot Space" come from the drumming structures and patterns in his head!
michelle, I haven't got to the stage of being up against any brutes yet (I'm sure Delfino knows more about it than me) but they seem to basically be bouncers! In the various movie scenes in the game, a lot are of "The Council" - a group of Prophets who make all the decisions, and there's always a couple of Brutes standing on the door to punch anyone who doesn't show them some ID! hehe. They're ace though.
jazzzzzzzzzy, haha, Cortana rocks, she's been given some really funny script! Apart from anything else, a woman's voice is easier to hear and interpret than a man's.....I don't know if that had anything to do with it, or if Bungie just wanted to make the 2nd most important character a lassie with big whams!
TravisHodges, the Fender sounds like a good choice. Also, TS-9's work best with Fender amps. I think if you use a TS-9 and a DS-1 together, you may find the tone easily turns to mud cause there's too much drive. next time you got to try stuf, I'd recommend trying a Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal. I use two of them and it's really useful.
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.
Guitarmiester, haha, they reckon Joe has one of the worst tones? I'd love to put that person, who compiled that list, on stage with Joe and watch him rinse them for everything they've got. Having completely pissed on their parade, Joe would mop up with taste and precision like none other.
Austin, seeing you mention a "Sound page" reminds of the coolest thing - last night my bro-in-law was lookin through my parent's old Vinly collection. Slipped inside one of the covers was a sound page from Guitar Player magazine, printed 1988. It's soundpage number 42, bearing themes from Crossroads, featuring Steve Vai and Ry Cooder.
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!
edit:
Master Yoda, it's 3:00 AM! Or sometimes 3:30, but I consider 3:00 to be the watershed!

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!"
Life - what a nice travel...

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."?

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!!!!!!!
HERE GOES THE MESSAGE

Zenfish,
No Frustration on my part, if such a contest should happen, and I entered & lost...it would be to the better man/woman...no bad feelings on my part.
It would be a RUSH to know you even had a shot to be onstage with Joe & his band, our playing might benefit tremendously with all the practicing...the winner, or winners would have a great fulfillment.
Life is a competition whether we like/know it, or not...survival of the fit-test...
This idea was not mine originally, but I like it, and it's not meant in anger, or to pit one against another.
Peace, Love & Happiness
from one Frenchman to another! (actually, I'm a mutt; French Canadian-Canuck, Native American Indian, English, Italian/American)
