lol, i agree mohawk, but him playing with the philharmonic orchestra isnt fiery or his usual stuff, its far more classical, and sounds really amazing, but yeah some of his stuff u do need to sip before u gulp, u might burn ure throat otherwise, but alot of his stuff can (like of course Joe's amazing playing) b appreciated and enjoyed by everyone, cos its so beautiful.

lol, im 2 serious at the moment, but really wont b any kind of waste if u get him playing with the orchestra, ull love it!!

take care guys, im off 2 bed, kinda tired...

Nass, oh yes, I agree, Yngwie is amazing. But IMHO, his latest albums are not as good as his previous, he repeats himself a lot. I think Yngwie needs to develop his talent further away. At this point Joe & Steve wins. But anyway I was watching the other day his DVD Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra and it's thrilling.

mohawk, I think he's one of the few hard neo-classical guitarists who has real feeling. He's capable to play superfastly but still with feeling.

Eddie Van Halen for G3?....hells no!!!

I think Zakk Wylde, Yngwie and Van Halen should have their own tour and call it "clash of the ego's." I could volunteer as moderator.

Why did EVH break 2 guitars??? Man, that really sux!!! I worked for 6 months non stop to afford an electric guitar with an amp and this ass breaks his in a few hours!!!

life's not fair, and lindsay lohan isnt mine :(

Thanks for the reminder (link) I have to apply for the permit by Jan 15. Have you ever been to the BWCA? I've been going for thirty years, and I still look forward to the trip every year. Before the government annex the land and mad it into the BWCA, my grandfather had a cabin on four Town Lake. We used to fly in for a month in the summer. Grandpa would stay out there all summer and fall pretty much by himself. Those were the days running through the woods, fishing and swimming. Now I have to get a permit, leave the boat motor at home and sleep on a rock for two days. I still love the area though. Stay safe.

Awwwwww Jazzzzzzy don't be so hard on Eddie! He's a real manic guy though, and have often wondered if has an undiagnosed condition - he has all the signs of someone with manic depression / bi-polar disorder.

Tool,

Thanks for the heads up on CD Baby...I'll check you guitar work right after I've finished this email.

How many copies of your CD's did you need to give them as a starting minimum?

Michelle - thanks! Don't think it is bronchitis, seems to be gradually getting better, anyway!

Master Yoda,

Arguments a-plenty is right....seems lots of us need to stand up for what we believe....why can't we all just get along? lol

I'm doing alright...just putting the final touches on my website & music....should launch next week...very excited!

Yourself?

Suzie: now that I think about it, you are right. EVH may have some serious personality issues that he resolves thru alcohol. but still, I would like that guitar....

“When the night falls, the big moon’s gonna rise. You can look right up, see it in the sky. Makes me feel like I’m going to blow a fuse. I start to shiver and shake with a strange kind of blues.

...but I like it.

I see it now the moon is high above. It’s got a hold on me, I just can’t get enough. Big, round, black and white, I feel the pull, I see the light. Big bad moon’s looking down on me tonight.

...but I like it.

When the moon comes, got nowhere to hide. It can turn your head around like it turns the tide. Man, woman, boy, child. makes you feel like you were born wild. The big bad moon’s looking down on me tonight.

...but I like it. ...i like it.

Talkin’ ’bout big bad moon Ooh yeah big bad moon Talkin’ ’bout big bad moon Ooh yeah...”

Stevee T - Sounds good man. Tonight I'm transcribing a bunch of John Petrucci solos by ear, with no slowing down software. So far I've done Another Day and Erotomania. They weren't easy, I can tell you...

Jazzzzzzzy- Eddie still ROCKS though!!!! OK, he may have done that to the guitar... but I still love his playing. That's all that really matters to me!
