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."?

962 I'm going back through it on heroic now...I didn't bother with "Easy" mode lol...My jaw is still thoroughly dropped at the scenery, I think theres a bit not far from where you are now where theres a massive (and I mean massive) battle and Vai plays a nice few minutes during it...tapping and everything :-)
I think I'm going to watch all my music DVD's today...LISF, G3-2003, Live Scenes From New York, Battle for Mexico City, and the self-titled "Rage Against The Machine"....
COuld do with "Live At The Astoria" really couldn't I....

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)

OCPS470 I was looking at the Keeley mods for the DS-1 last week on his website. I see that Vai had his DS-1 modified by Keeley, I forget which one it was though. I was, and still am, considering buying another DS-1, see how two together sound, if I don't like it, I will just send out my new DS-1 to be modified by Keeley. Getting one modified is about the same price as going out and wasting money on like a Boss DS-2, or something crappy like that pedal. I have heard a lot of good stuff about Keeley mods, so I think I am going to just buy another DS-1, send it out, and pay, I think $75, to get modified. (anyone who likes or uses DS-2, don't take anything personal about what I said about it, I just hate that pedal, sounds like absolute crap, DS-1 is better)

Zenfish,
It wasn't my original idea, BUT I LIKE IT! BIG BAD MOON...
I certainly don't want to fight for it, just have some fun with it, and give it a chance. I'd think the contest would be held prior to the Stage experience via, Audio submissions.
I'm not asking you, or anyone to follow it if you don't support it.
If you don't wish to play with Joe & his band...then that's your choice...not to wish.
Music is an expression of life, which encompasses everything we experience, or hope to.... Joy, love, pain, sorrows, competition, winning, losing, peace....quiet......the highest mountain is only the highest, because of the lowest valley!
You know, how you measure up as a human & a musician in your heart...I'd love to have Joe's technique down, but I'm workin' on that.
To sacrifice your friends to meet Joe...would not be worth it...
By the way....how do you describe a Friend?
Playing well under those conditions would be difficult for some...I've played in front of, and with some famous people, and they're people too...it's ALL in our heads...the trick is don't psyche yourself out, and get in the zone...have fun...express yourself!!
I've already encountered Joe face to face...shook his hand, spoke with him briefly, and I handed him my CD, he looked at it...read the title, and immediately threw it in the trash...only kidding...he gently put it down on the table next to him...then he threw it in the trash, he's a very soft spoken, understanding, nice guy... I like him as a person, and musician.
Zenfish, you may not want to be involved with this, but would you perform with Joe if you had the chance?
Thanks for your understanding, and willingness to explain yourself....we're here cause' of Joe, and I think he'd appreciate your spirit...hopefully mine too!
Love, Peace & Happiness,
Stevee T.

hmmm...just sprayed the lizard onto my guitar...only to find out that after millions of practice sprays on random pieces of wood...that the spray-mount i was using, that specifically said it doesn't react with auto paint,....DOES react with auto-paint...so now I've got a massive mark where the bastard spray-mount reacted...
Looks like I'm gonna have to either sand it all down and start again...or...................................................any suggestions?!

Hotlicks,
Welcome to the site.
I believe...we can change anything.....
Seriously now...I believe...Ibanez Custom shop did it for him.
You can buy a chromeboy...if you can find one for about $3000 -$5000 depending on it's shape.
