Helllo Joe: I'm a serious serious fan of you, but first of all i wanted to thank you for the great performance at the fillmore on 12/16 eventhough you were sick. I had the most wonderful blast of my life, I was reading on your fans e-mail stating that you play better thena steve vai, Of course you are steve's vai mentor, of course. my favorite song \ its Always with me, Always with you, and this song will be my wedding song. thanks again, for your time and reading my e-mail and I will see you at the house of blues.

thanks

Jazzzzzzzy- I'm using a different computer this evening, but guess what- I can't get sound on this one either! The sound thing needs updating, and I don't like meddling about with someone else's computer (especially my father-in law's one!) Sorry about that, I noticed though you had some Ozzy stuff recorded, are you much of a Randy Rhoads fan?

Delfino- shame about that keyboard!

Steven Wilde, hey dude! yeah I'm good, hows things with you hombre? yeah Alex is still hyped about the recording! My recording setup is out of action now though.....I was using a multi-fx processor cause it has stereo output, and I was running that to the stereo input on my soundcard. But the multi-fx unit has quit outputting anything, even through the headphone socket, so I can't record stereo any more, and I'll be buggered if I'm recording mono! hehe. I will get it sorted out in due course, but it could get expensive!

So, as a result, no new recordings at the moment, but I'm enjoying the process of looking objectively at my gear and finding out about the little nuiances of each different variable in each different instrument! But yeah, we've been working on stuff and discussing ideas and he's still kind of on a high about it, it's really satisfying! Good vibes being aimed in your direction bro :-)

ps. that's a whole lot of middle-name-ing going on there! Respect!

Dear Joe,

I'm Erik from the Netherlands. I first heard of you through an album with different rock and guitar songs by a radio station I then bought surfin with the alien and recently the extremist Cryin is my favorit number until now In october my mother died, the day the house was empty and I drove home with cryin blasting out of the car speakers i had to cry

hey joe hey guys

finally i got in here at long last. i was lucky to log in yesterday.

im having password problems. every time i log in and click on post message the computer logs me out. its really screwing me over.lol

i dont know how i got in 2nite.

962- your so right about lukather. what a musician. remember that gig at the royal albert? WOW! your right about his incredible ability to improvise, ive got sum dvds of him and larry carlton which really show off his ability. the highlight of every show they did on there was a song called "the pump". i dont know whether youve heard of it. its a 14 minute jam, and every version they did was purposly made different. no solos were the same. its gotta be quite an achievment to be able to do this. i hope i get to see him again.

seeing as your a luke fan, do you like dann huff or mike landau? they are both awesome. and also best friends of lukes.

peace

the farting gnome

The Farting Gnome, hell yeah man, I 'll not be forgetting that Toto gig last summer! that was immensely cool, the whole band were on top form! Bobby's singing was incredible, and Lukes playing was so fresh. I had watched the Amsterdam DVD lots, and then seeing them playing some of the same songs live, and hearing the improvisation going on, was fantastic!

yeah I have Luke and Carlton's "Live In Osaka" CD on which they play The Pump.....it's amazing, they compliment each other brilliantly. I'm ashamed to say I've not heard of Dan Huff.....what's his style and where's he from? I have heard of Mike Landau tho....he's on one of the tracks on Gregg Bisonette's 2nd album, and is very impressive!

Please let me know the titles of those DVD's with Luke and Carlton on....are they official or are they bootlegs, and where'd you get 'em?! Cheers dude, keep on rockin!

damn me being so slow.....

962, whaddya want Andy to sign, MariMari?? lol. Maybe she can get an on the spot foto signed or a promo photo with the new AT Ibanez, that would be cool!!!

962- dann huff was in a band called Giant in the '90's. he also does a ton of session stuff. nowadays he's just a producer. you hardly hear of him any more im upset to say.lol. Giants last album was released in 2001. since then...........nothing. its a real shame. still check 'em out. listen to sum sound samples on amazon. see what you think

standout tracks include: "time to burn" and " thunder and lightning" ( from the album "time to burn")

and also a awesome track called " you will be mine"( from the album Giant III)

hope this helps :)

CHECK OUT THE NEW BAD HORSIE CHROME JEM! WOWWWW

i bought those luke/carlton dvds off ebay. the seller is very reliable and has loads of toto stuff. theyre not official dvds but they are of great quality. he's got an awesome dvd of totos kingdom of desire tour. i really want that one. the material off that album is the best theyve done in my opinion.ill send the seller an email, ive kinda kept in touch. and ill keep you informed.

peace.

Steven Wilde,

The demon appears again...

dck and mikesb: I had On fire playing on my stereo while recording the solo. I used my new maple fretboard fender strat.

slansh: excellent bro! anytime dude. have you ever recorded with a banjo? I am thinking of this getting this banjo player on my floor to do some jam sessions. Do people in England ever use banjos? later dude.

962: I just bought some Nyquil. yay!!! which means I can sleep well. You cat looks so squeezable! its very cute. looks too soft. damn, now i wanna squeeze it!!!!!!

a little about me:

thank u steve t!

MikesB

the vai bad horsie guitar looks k00l. but......

the RG model is almost exactly like the JEM. Which guitar is out there that competes with the JS? none...

question: If my brother pays for my fender strat, should I return it and get a JS or should I stick with the strat? I am really loving the strat, but the JS looks too tempting.
