Satriella I thought so. It's too hard to just pick one Yngwie CD. You can get one and not like it, but then years later get another one and really like it...which is what happened to me. I 1st got Collection, didn't really like most of it, didn't listen to Yngwie for a while, then I got another one out of nowhere and was a huge Yngwie fan since that. It's hard to just pick one, but like I said, go with any of the ones I mentioned.
--Hey, just heard about the latest Vai DVD that's in the works. Check it out on Vai's site, he says some stuff about it.

Cuth - No better way to start the mornin than T***ies and Beer.
Gay Al - The track sounded nice. I could nit pick a couple thjings if you want the constructive critizism. Aah just read Cuths post. My opinions would be the same. And you were playing the notes rather than expressing them.
Guitarmiester - Along with Berkelee you should look at different universities too. There are some schools back east with very good music programs. Don't narrow you choices too soon.
Student Loans - Student loans are just that loans. They need to be repayed. End of discussion. I feel you should also have to do some community service while in school as part of the repayment.
Lab report - check
Materials memo - check
Transportation HW -check
Fluids final - check
Thermo final - check
Almost done. Transpo and materials final tomorrow morning... then finish my essay. Chocolate Martini here I come!!!!

Hey, angels don't do that!
OTTAWA (Reuters) - One of Canada's leading cinema chains has stopped handing out Christmas wrapping paper to its patrons after parents complained it featured angels fondling each other suggestively, newspapers reported on Tuesday.
Famous Players acted after the wrapping paper -- a promotion for the Virgin Mobile phone service -- was handed out to young children.
The paper features a male angel grasping the breast of his female partner, while she has hold of his genitals, as they kiss. Both are fully clothed in white angel attire.
"It would have been great for the right age group but clearly it wasn't suitable for children," a spokeswoman for Famous Players told the National Post newspaper.

Court: Disabled Can't Escape Student Loans
(AP) - America's seniors and disabled cannot escape debts from old student loans, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, freeing the government to pursue Social Security benefits as part of an effort to collect billions in delinquent loans.
The Bush administration had argued that the ability to withhold Social Security benefits is an important tool in the pursuit of $5.7 billion in student loan debt that is over 10 years old. Overall, outstanding loans total about $33 billion.
Government lawyers said there is a limit on how much can be taken from benefit checks, 15 percent, and that the Education Department can forgive debts in some hardship cases.
The unanimous decision went against a disabled 67-year-old Seattle man who lives in public housing and had sued claiming he needed all of his $874 monthly check to pay for food and medicine.
James Lockhart's benefits had been cut by 15 percent to cover debts he incurred for college in the 1980s. He has about $77,000 in unpaid loans.
The court's decision applies to loans that date back more than 10 years, and covers both disability and retirement benefits under the Social Security program.
Senior citizens groups did not know how many elderly or disabled people could lose some of their monthly checks if the government decides to go after them.
"It means that you can take the Social Security benefits of someone who is 90 years old and living on a small amount of money," said Brian Wolfman, director of the Public Citizen Litigation Group and the lawyer for Lockhart. "The losers are clearly older Social Security beneficiaries."
Lockhart lost earlier at the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said that Congress, in laws passed in 1991 and 1996, eliminated a 10-year time limit on the government's right to seek repayment on defaulted student loans by seizing Social Security. The justices affirmed that decision.
Other lower courts, however, have ruled in favor of Social Security recipients, and Wolfman said that Congress could reconsider the issue.
The Supreme Court was called on to clarify federal laws that sent conflicting messages about the collection of old loans. The government first began withholding the money from Social Security benefits in 2001 and has defended its authority to do so in court.
The ruling, written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, will probably be one of her last. She is retiring after 24 years.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia said that Congress "unambiguously authorized, without exception, the collection of 10-year-old student loan debt. ... In doing so, it flatly contracted and thereby effectively repealed part of the Social Security Act."
Groups such as the AARP and the National Consumer Law Center had urged the court to safeguard Social Security benefits in the Lockhart case. The benefits, the organizations said, "are critical in preserving a measure of financial independence for older and disabled workers."
Also Wednesday, new Chief Justice John Roberts announced his first ruling, in a case involving legal fees. The 9-0 decision backed insurance companies, which argued that they should not have to pay legal fees of a New Mexico couple in a case that was shuffled from state court to federal court, then back to state court.
The student loan case is Lockhart v. U.S., 04-881, and the lawyer fees case is Martin v. Franklin Capital Corp., 04-1140.

OCPS470: lol, thanks for the skinny on Matt, it's good to hear your in touch with him, and tell him we said Yo!.... Also, I believe Do The Stu said a while back that Matt was in L.A. and he was going to meet up with him.... L.A. is the place to be for Matt IMO.... He'll get noticed there....
....BTW, I hear ya on the ultra-competitive deal..Thats not my bag either, but as in music, so is the nature of our society.... It's sad that some of the teachers there are big-headed ego monsters, but I would go there and hang onto Dave Martone like stink on sh*t, if you know what I mean, lol!.... If you want something bad enough (in this case learn and be around professionals), you gotta go and get it....
Guitarmiester: Here is Matt King's link.... I think that the best thing you could do is to check it out first so you can get a vibe of the place.... Good luck and keep us posted....
BTW, if you miss a link, there is a menu selection in the middle bracket at the top of the screen to view old posts: View messages from the last 1 hour
gotta have joe: hehe, lol, I can imagine those JS's hanging all over the tree and they actually have little batteries in them to make the whammy bar scream, lol! ;-)
Keniko: Let's not forget the Trans Siberian Orchestra!!....
962 / Satriella: Damn guys, lol, I should have mentioned Eric Clapton in the Crossroads title, haha!.... When I first posted about it (for seeing Joe Walsh), I added the link for the Crossroads Festival, but I guess no one saw it, lol....
Ga60: Yo Gabe, Happy Holidays!.... Hope you and the fam are well....

My only constructive criticism is that some of your bends on Train of Angels sounded a little bit off key, and there were times when the timing seemed just a tickle off.
Yup exactly :D i wasnt bothered changing it, lol it was recorded pretty raw but nobody's perfect :p i used my strat which is scalloped with a gay arkward intonated birdge, so u gota watch the bends on some bits, i was kidna learnin bits of it as i was recording it, but hey no excuses i knew if i posted it here id get that lol, + i find if u are espressing the notes in recorded tracks, like adding alot of vibrato, it doesnt sound right sometimes, Live shows well u vibrato the hell outa the notes!! 8)
+ d major H is somethin i recorded on my phone wen i got a delay pedal :|
Heyyyyyyyyyyyy Joe
