death cube k..... couln't agree more.

dakook, mthead was and has been a nice guy since he got here. You're a bit OVER sensitive when someone breathes sideways at yer girlfriend. He really meant no harm. You two need to work on TRUSTING each other and stop taking your anger out on innocent bystanders. I mean no disrespect to you and ang, but really dude - the guy was just being lighthearted. Lighten up!

Well Joe, the studio you were at is truly beautiful...hope it sounded as gorgeous as it looks!! Guess I'm late, but welcome home....hope you're getting to spend some time with your family now, during this holiday season!! You deserve a beautiful Christmas!! :)

U might need more than a dust pan to shovel snow with....but who knows....U R SUPER-CHELLE!! When you get done threatening the snow into submission with your vicious dustpan, u might wanna go check on Scotty..he sounds like he needs lotsa HEP!! :)

It really was 'just in fun'. and i meant no harm or offence to anyone.. i came to this site to say hi to joe and my fellow fans.. maybe even make some new friends. thats all !!! I'm usually a good natured guy... and i've been thru too much in my life time to deal w/ more B.S. Thanx again LOL and slam-a-tociuos hugs to U :] MT

Hi everyone!

962, "I knew you'd enjoy Andy Timmons! Correct me if I'm wrong, but is he not just one of the coolest players ever?!"

Simon, you were so right...I was amazed by the man, he has a great level in everything. And yeah he is a super cool guy...very smiling!

Well, here is my review of Guitar Fest 2005 with Andy Timmons as main star past Thursday December 1st...

The concert was absolutely awesome! One of the coolest things was the venue, "Ritmo y Compás" is small and intimate (there are no barriers between stage and audience) and the cool and friendly atmosphere rubbed off on the artists, so the interaction with the audience is magic.

The show began with Tony Hernando, one of the main guitar heros in Spain as well as music producer and guitar teacher with his own school of music, he played fantastic but in my opinion he is too technical...and there's no much soul in his music. Anyway he delighted first row guitarists that were even filming with tiny cameras his incredible playing.

Someone commented me that in the 2003 edition of Guitar Fest he played "For The Love of God" and "Flying in a Blue Dream" literally "note by note" stunning everybody!

He was acompanied by the monster showman of drums Mike Terrana! There was a moment at his drum solo that he played soooo fast...that had Matrix effect haha

It took a long time to change gear, almost 40 minutes...but at 23:35 Andy Timmons on stage!

It was my first time seeing him and discovering his music and I'm impressed. I loved every song, every note, he is incredible. Versatility, energy, technique, melodic sense...and he smiles all the time, very cool! His show lasted about two hours, he played 17 songs.

I took notes to post the setlist here ;-), he played mainly songs of his last album "That Was Then This Is Now" and many new songs from his upcoming new album, so here it goes:

Super 70's
Pink Champagne Spark
Falling Down
Beautiful, strange (very Satch ;-)
I remember Stevie (incredible tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan, he had a real guitar ecstasy during this song...a fussion with his guitar almost religious, it was the "climax" of the concert!)
Turn Away (he dedicated this song to Tony Hernando, it seems that they had become very good friends...)
New song (?)
Electric Gipsy
New song ("Move on" or "Gone" ? or something that sounds like that)
A song with oriental influences ?
All is Forgiven
Farmer Sez (the Texas cowboy moment, we shouted "yihaaaa" and stuff loudly haha...it was very funny)
Pungent Larry
New song ("Deliver us"?)
Cry for you

Encore:

Groove or Die
ZZ Top's La Grange with Tony Hernando, it reminds me to something ;-)

At the end, it took place a guitar raffle, the winner of the guitar, that was full of happiness, was asked if he played guitar, he said he doesn't play guitar..., then some people of the audience included myself shouted something like "play something, don't be shy!" and he said he plays a little, then we shouted "play play" and he played the latest part of Eddie Van Halen's Eruption with his brand new guitar, he played really well! I think he will never forget his first moment of glory...it was a real party for everyone. A memorable night.

You can see pictures from the show here:

Andy Timmons doesn't have a message board (?) so I posted them at Vai's General Music Discussion thread.

Good Morning ALL............... GOSH what a BUNCH OF DRAMA to read first thing MONDAY MORNING!!!!!!

Michelle first of all TRUST is not an issue with Dakook and I He read a post and thought it was not very nice and he has the RIGHT to his OPIONION!!! JUST LIKE YOU DO ON OUR RELATIONSHIP!!!!!! IF YOU READ THE POST YOU CAN SEE IT COULD BE TTAKEN MORE THEN ONE WAY ............ and I guess he is protecting what is his......................and why cant everyone get along on here????

Slansh, great Les Paul quote...... bwahaha!!! Think I will dig out the "McLaughlin DiMeola De Lucia Live in San Fran" for another spin..... Some eminently hummable tunes on that particular opus as I recall LMBFAO.......

Good Morning Satchland..... How are you guys?

It's friggin' cold in Chicago. I remember telling JS1200 I don't mind the Winter as long as it's doesn't get into the teens or single digits. Well is a balmy 5 degrees. I shouldn't have opened my mouth. That's Chicago. It gives us charcter and I'm the biggest charater there is...lol....Sunday it's forecasted to be 39. Go figure.

Mari.... Glad you had a great birthday with Yngwie. Also, happy you were a hit at your reunion. As for the guy hiting on you at B.B.'s...well.....you can't blame him for that. Take care my friend. Hugs to you.

mtlhead....No problem bro. I'm glad you're a player...er....guitar player that is. You are a musician if you know how to play any instrument. It's up to you or any individual on how far you want to take it. Just because you don't read music doesn't mean you're not a musician. If you saw the recent posts on people's fav players. Most on the list don't read. Again, it depends on what you want to do. Have fun and enjoy playing guitar. Take care.

DAKOOK.....I'm glad I made the list along with Stevee T. Thanks bro. About more feeling with the SRV stuff....It's funny....some people say they feel every note of our version of Texas Flood...others say.....needs more feeling. It's interesting how people can listen to the same song with different ways on how they interpret it. It happens to me also, Somedays when I listen to that version. I'll feel every note...other days...it will just pass me by. Thanks for your comments. Handshakes to you....lol....

Angelina.....How are you today? Hope all is well with the twins. BTW....That's me singing and playing guitar on the web site. Thanks for your comments. Hugs...

Kayla....Did that mountain open up yet? Hugs.

Have A Great Day Everyone ! ! !

Happy Monday everyone! Listened to a portion of the sinphonie this AM. Interesting look forward to hearing more.

My husband put the Christmas tree lights up last night and we listened to Christmas music under the beautiful crescent moon and either Venus or Mars which was so bright.

marimariSRV...glad to hear the wolves are barking for you...there should be a pack....missed you too!

LucySorets...very nice shots!!

Liminous ......Don't know about Joe coming out with a 7 string. You've reminded me of some Christmas Cd's. I highly recommend Two and I've had these for a couple years and love them. It's a little laid back but the piano work is great. It's Vince Girauldi's Charlie Brown Christmas. I hear you laughing...lol....But really it's great. It's the sound track from A Charlie Brown Christmas. It's soft and soothing and Vince's trio plays great. Yes....it has the Linus and Lucy theme. A must have. The other is by an Aussie( Hello Mr. Ramsay ) Gary Hoey. Not only is Gary a great guitar player he's a multi-instrumentalist. Gary played all the instruments, engineered, produced this CD. It's called HO HO Hoey. It's awesome a musit have also for a Chrictmas Rock CD. Thanks for reminding me. Anybody have these CD's ?
