That's a lot of wisdom..........err, words........err, subjects..........err....oh damn, a lot of STUFF you've had to say!! LOL! Keep it up, you'll catch up to Michelle before ya know it!

Matt, hum, you Portlandites can't exactly tell time up there, huh? %am.....is that some nouveau way to telling time? LOL! I'm guessing you meant 5 am, but what do I know? I'm just a poor old Kalamaty Flats resident and we don't know nuthin down here! But hey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A YOUNG/OLD FART!!!

PS, should I be proud to be a turtle head like Joe????? :+/

Fromage101___yes yes, jazzrock like hendrix he was genius, bluesrock jazzbluesrock Zappa was genius about rock melodic blues. No one now ____________jazzbluesrock

Michelle: it was the opening lines from "The Distance" by Cake, a song from about 10 years ago. The singer almost "sang" monotone, and all their guitar solos had 1 or 2 notes in them, but that song was great.

He's going the distance...he's going for speed...she's all alone, (ALL ALONE) all alone in the time of need (#insert brass horns here#)

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course...he's fighting and biting and riding on his horse...

Cheese: well it's 4pm here, and it's 29 degrees (C) outside in very low humidity so I'm glad to be inside again, and I'm fine too, thanks! How about you? Must be about the end of winter there?

civgeek, you moldy old bastard - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! When you turn 40 you can run with the Big Dawgs! Okay so we just walk at a steady pace, alright!

Jazzy, you're right. It's only a matter of days before Stevee reached 2000. lmao!! Now stop badgering me!!!

Tracie, uno mas :)

benny, that's it!!! I knew I heard that before. Man, now I have Stevee's Sinatra lyrics and your Cake lyrics in my head. I hate when that happens! lol!

Night peeps!

Artanis I, 29 degrees celcius, I'm guessing that's somewhere in the 80's (F)??? Jeez, sounds nice...summertime there!

Yes, winter is trying to give it up here, high in the low 50's, but it could turn into a blizzard at any moment without us seeing it coming!! But it does feel like spring is just around the corner, and I'm getting spring fevah........

Hi folks,

Anyone interested in an original 10th Anniversary, Chrome Boy there is one on ebay, item no 7302221116. Sorry I don't know how to do the link thing. Have a great day everyone in Satchland.

Hey everyone...hello Mr. Satriani...

I'm new to this site and just wanted to do a post. Most of all I wanted to say to Mr. Satirani that he is one of the major reasons why my guitar skills have improved. He inspired me to be me on the guitar and not to try to be like everyone else. The largest part of this influence was centered in the song Down, Down, Down (which I am in the process of tabbing out). Its jazzy vibes and rich sound proved to me that one can play the guitar with a cetrain amount of humility. The simple fact that this song is from the heart moved me to the core.

hola hoiguy79

Yo estoy los Estados Unidos. (I apologize for my horrid spanish)

outtttttaaaa timmmmmeeeeee

tteeee yyuuuuuuu aaallll toommmooorrrooooowwwwwww

Hy all of you guys out there at Satchland, everything´s ok everyone?

uah - welcome to the site - yes, Down, Down, Down is also one of my favorites, you spoke right out of my heart....

michelle - best wishes to your pop, hope he is ok soon.....

Got the new Vai CD yesterday, listened to it, and all I can say is: Steve has done it again.... very crazy stuff, I also liked Yai, Yai - sounds very funny.

mikesb - I read your interview with Joe, especially this point was very interesting to read -

Describe how your current 'look' and stage persona evolved?

"Well its really quite simple. For as long as people have known about me I've been on a steady course of hair loss, and I got really tired of working around it. One day I was out jogging in San Francisco and my hair was quite long at the time (February 1996) and it was really bothering me and I jogged past a pharmacy store that had a hair clipper advertised in the window and I just went in and purchased it, ran back home and just shaved it all off. Then I went of course, oh my God I've just shaved my head. But I've had it for two years and I really enjoy it. It's more fun for me and I'm not a weave, fake hair kind of guy, so it's more honest and in line with my kind of music and my image of straight ahead."

Wow, that´s exactely what I thought of......because I have nearly the same problem with my hair since 1996, it´s called “Alopecia areata” and it looks terrible, so I also have to shave my hair from time to time since 1996, but everyone of my family and my friends tell me (and I also think) it looks very cool (I´m wearing Bandanas too). It gives you something like an “bad girl look”..... and you can save the money for the hairdresser *lol*.
You can do a quick jump to the site www.naaf.org to get more informations about it if you like....
The other thing is, that nearly everyone who talks to you, and people who don´t know you, will ask you sooner or later: “Do you have cancer?” And my reaction: “Oh my god - no!” I´m at full health and my blood is still ok.......
So far, I´ve always thought Joe shaved his hair because he only wanted to look cool .... but such things connect.....

death cube k - thanks for the info, but only 10 submissions? So I´ll try my best to send in my tune, but don´t be surprised, for me it has no “pro” quality, because I had no pro equipment to record it, for the next few month I have no money left to buy some pro music tools :-(
I just was experimenting around how to record things with my computer and the tune is what came out of it all, some kind of homerecording stuff, that I made in quiet a hurry, if you like to give it a name; only guitar, amp, a little drumming tool (for the drum parts), computer and an recording tool where I could add some effects to the recorded parts and to do the mastering for the whole thing ......
By the way: I would be very pleased if some friendly ones of you could help me and give me some infos what is good (and not too expensive) recording equipment ..... I´m not in a band yet, but I have the dream to form a band with other musicians the next 1 or 2 years, let´s see what comes out .....

VFR, no I didn't post it already - I f*ck*d my test! haha, I knew I would! oh well, got a retest on the 10th (next month).

There's also the use of gun-mounted cameras and laser designators. The gun-camera is linked to a little screen (a Heads Up Display) attached to the soldier's helmet. hanging in front of his eye is the little screen which shows him what the gun is seeing. This means a soldeir can crouch behind, say, a vehicle or brick wall and just lift the gun up and see exactly what it's aiming at, without exposing any more than just his hands. It's a very safe invention and is likely to reduce battlefield casualties (especially in urban warfare) to as-good-as-nothing. The gun camera's laser designator means a soldier can do a similar thing, only instead of shooting he's "painting" a target for laser-guided bombs.

It's all very promising. Unfortunately, it's expensive, not every soldier could use it as the training would take too long and would cost too much. Apart from anything else, I think it'd be more to the point if the US government were spending US$ 127.000.000,00 on stopping wars altogether, rather than just finding technologically more advanced ways of winning them. I think I'm both for and against it, for the reasons I set out above!
