Delfino- if I had a spare £275 kicking about I wouldn't hesitate to donate it to your guitar cause, but until I win the lottery- I'm a bit brassic! Sorry though. :-)

Punkdude- thanks, I hadn't realised there was such an album! The Lenny Kravitz cover particularly interests me, I'm quite a fan of his (another Flying V enthusiast!)

Steven- hope you are well! Your website is great. :-)

Zoom GFX-5. Multi-fx pedal. £120, last one in the shop...good deal?

i've tried it out and it sounds good, but, it doesn't give you much scope to change the sound as far as i could see. i'm going to give it another try to find the delay and other effects on it on thursday.

what do you people think?

and also any ideas on how to make the sound less distorted when playing into the computer? it becomes more gainy and horrible when going thru the computer compared to when just going out of the amp.

Joe,

I live in Houma Louisiana and recently missed your show in New Orleans due to work. Are there going to be any more stops in my area, I really want to catch one soon.

yes, hello?

Hi Michelle, howz it goin? Megadeth is coming to town!!!

mikesb: Sorry dude. I hope things work out for out you. take care.

Zenfish, You said, "I'm looking for some symbiosis. For, contest shall be the slave of symbiosis. The symbiosis is also a very big principle of life"

And, I agree with you Gestalt is very symbiotic...everything is everything...all related to each other...each atom intermingling...if a Butterfly flaps his wings in South America....

punkdude, ahh cool man! I'd like to hear that cover! Sorry, I'd never heard anything about it before, but now I know why....Thanks!

So, again, sorry Austin!

I dunno....maybe I just got a sh*t memory. I'm probably going senile.....I'm not even 21 yet. Jeezzz....

Clarky-no-Malarky, If someone forced you down, and tied you up with leather straps & poured hot wax all over your body...how would you describe the style of music on your new CD Release-Shredz?

Hi there,

GODGUNSGUITARS, Your idea sounds like a good one.

Looks like t2j Saturated Feedback struck the right chord with everyone...sooooooo...let's be happy with that!

Neither, Joe or Mick have gotten back to me...not that I really expected them to, but think of the clammer it might make if enough Young Guitar Slingin' Guns got wind of the mighty opportunity they'd have to play next to Joe. CD sales...Guitar & Amp Sales might soar, but them again, they'd probably have to go International with the offer, then it would'nt be as fun & cozy for us REAL fans!

I'm finished with that concept...nobody felt comfortable with it, so I won't beat a dead horse.

962 - well, it was released today, so I hope it's finished...

keza, It's been my humble experience that practice makes perfect.

Some have natural talent, some couldn’t buy it!

Don't give up...I practice until the muscles in my hand's hurt.

There was a time that it only took 5 minutes to incur pain, now 3 hours isn't enough...making it more difficult to make time to reach that zone...I'd practice for 12 hours a day, if I didn’t have to earn a living.

Taste & Tone FIRST, and fuck the need for speed until you can say something slow first.

Show me a musician that can grab you with ONE note, like Joe, then you can add the speed.

I'd rather feel one note, than be bored to tears with a flurry of meaningless crap...but that's just one man's opinion.

Hope I've Helped!

Peace, Love & Happiness

cheese101,

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm gonna pick up my guitar, put on my head phones, and take myself to a better place.

GGG - Thanks, that was some very interesting stuff. By the way, I wasn't questioning your beliefs or asking you to clarify the reasoning behind them - I would never do that. The whole 'free will' thign goes both ways!!! I was merely asking for your perspective on stuff.

Jelly - Oh yeah!!! the DT gig. I remember now... Duh... LOL

Austin - yeah, I reckon I agree. Half three is late, but four is defnitely early...

NM

I felt this deserved a separate post:

EUROPE Rocked The Night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fucking unreal. They played all the classics: Let The Good Times Rock, Rock The Night, Carrie, Sign Of The Times, Wings Of Tomorrow, Cherokee, etc., and of course The Final Countdown...

They also played a shit load of stuff from their new album, which isn't half bad actually. I may well buy it.

Basically, the gig was immense. Best gig I've been to in a long time. John Norum is such a badass player too. The thing that got me the most is that Joey Tempest can still hit the majority of those notes. Rocktastic!!!

So good I even bought the t-shirt!! LOL

Noppa - Cool... It'd be awesome if Steve Morse could play at that festival...

LOL...it's okay.

I was going by memory as well...I thought I remembered someone mentioning "Fender-spaced" here quite a while back.

"I have a memory like a seive, evidently, so ask Austin!"

Hehehe...what happens when the time comes when I can't remember something? ::shudders:: ;-)

Does anyone know how to play Speed Metal Synphony by Cacophony, Im trying to learn it and Im just wondering if anyone else knows it.
