njbeast - I think it's more correct to say that you have a "first pressing" of Dreaming #11. An album may go on to sell several million copies, but record companies usually don't print more than a few hundred thousand (or maybe one million) copies at first. If those first copies sell well, then they print more.

With Dreaming #11, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that the number they printed at first was only a few thousand. I'd imagine that entire first run has the inscription on it. I know Led Zeppelin did stuff like that with some of their records.

Sometimes other things change after the first edition (new cover art, corrected typos, etc.). It makes the originals very popular collector's items, as you can imagine.

The trip to New York is sort of a belated (very belated...almost two years late) 21st birthday present from my parents. They said they'd take me on a trip somewhere...wherever I wanted to go. New York is an awesome city and Dream Theater is an awesome band, so it makes sense. ;-) And the fact that the show will be recorded for a CD/DVD makes it even better...

I would consider making a trip up north for a Satriani / EJ show, if my work and school schedules allow it. I'll let you know...

Well here we go again...I did all this at 1.00am last night...the I hit something just as I'd got to the end and lost the lot grrrrr

Hi Joe,

Someone mentioned a solo acoustic album...hmmm fancy that idea...we do!!! Everyone is a winner...you don't have lots of equipment to set up...you will already know all the songs so I'm sure it wouldn't actually take that long and we get another fab album from you...hmmm what would be your favourite tune to play acoustically?

I was also just reading an interview of yours where you said that your favourite student is your son....how's he doing? Can he play any of your stuff?

Also glad to hear you have Green Day on your ipod..I love em too American Idiot and Dookie are great albums!

that's not all...I wouldn't be annoyed about losing that here is the rest...

My full list of ALL of Joe's stuff as the best still stands cos you can't really say one is better than another..but here are some that I just like alot..well kinda my favourites

1. Always with me, Always with you
2. I Believe
3. You Saved my Life
4. What Breaks A Heart
5. The Phone Call
6. Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness

So there you go...I'm just a big soppy softie really aren't I

962 - "Give me that phone...I gotta talk to you baby" well if Joe can do a phone call so can you...I'd love to hear Hill Groove over the phone...so call me!

Do the Stu - Woohoo indeed, you must be on quite a high with all that new stuff going on...you will have to give us an update on how the job's going...what do you actually do there? Last semester eh are you glad or sad? And a new apartment cool for you!

njbeast - Sounded ace eh...modesty that's what I like about you...hehehe :) Seriously have a good rock out 2nite and stay safe urself....

I can imagine the scene now just like on school of Rock...all piling into a beat up old van...hammering it up the road screeming out Hammer of the Gods by Led Zep

death cube k - Oops I nearly changed your name to a very different picture then...death cub K...hmm just doesn't hve the same impact...looking cute and furry I'm sure is not the mental image you want people to think of...anyway...thanks for the info...are you refering to what that kid is playing along too...so that means anyone could play it...cool you should definately all learn to play it and have a guitar battle then!

Bahduh - I'm sorry honey I couldn't help laughing at your little explanation...which is horrible of me cos it's not funny for you at all! Why do you think you wriggle so much...heat maybe? Playing cricket in your dreams? Ahh it's sad that in your dreams is the only place you can play it, must be very frustrating for you cos you obviously love it...well I hope you can find a way to ease your pain..in the meantime thinking of you!

Cheese101 - Great thank you for listening to him...I thought he was pretty awsome...but what do I know...good to hear someone else agree though..

Blue Moon - Oh you poor thing u...I hope broadband will be coming to a screen near you soon! Cool sunrise by the way. I think we may get a scanner soon if we do I will show you some of mine...umm pics of sunrises that is

Austin, hey, welcome back again! haha. It's great to see you back here dude, there's a few thousand question about Joe that need answering....this is your calling! Just kidding :-D You sound pretty happy about the new job and new apartment, that's all good stuff. I hope all the things that have been a bit crazy haven't been bad things?!

Stick around this time bro! ;-)

Yeah I'll sort you out with Hill Groove some time....I don't quite know all of it yet....I keep meaning to properly learn the entirity of the solo but always get carried away playing something similar. Ah well.

962 - lol... Thanks. I've had to explain that one quite a few times now, so I'd like to think I've gotten pretty good at it!!!! ;-P

satriella........well yu can say that...fact is i am always dreaming and so maybe yu are right.. might be that i dream about playing cricket and thus move about all over...hhahahahahhahahahahhaha...who knows ,,yu maybe right..though for a fact i think it is coz i am more active than ever b4 and thus i end up twisting and turning even in my sleep....lol....i dont know how to explain it but i gues yu can understand...anyway cheers and have a nice day.....

/\/\/\R|<: HaHa, lol bro, I thought Mike did a stint with Frank at one time, but I cant find it anywhere, and I may have it confused because of the \//\I Zappa tribute song Frank that Greg Biso played on.... I should have linked Terry Bozzio or Vinnie Colaiuta, lol, I know those guys did play with Zappa!!....

BTW.... I've heard Mike is a clown, but I didnt know he was an a**hole??.... That's too bad, but I hope it isnt true....

PhryDom: lol, D/\\/E, I thought it was his Rhythm Knowledge book when he passed it over his head the first time, lol!!....

Keniko: No problem bro, what a great guy Eric is.... So classy, and a very humble player.... On the G3 Jam he did with JOE and Steve, he outclassed them IMO, although, JOE stuck to the blues and with the song.... His song Manhattan (which is one of my all time faves) has got to be one of the most beautiful instrumentals ever written!!.... And btw..Happy Birthday!!.... :-)

BTW bro, great news on the site upgrades!....

cheese101: lol tracie, that drummer Mike (Mangini) used to be in the Steve \//\I Band.... He is the Steve \//\I of drummers, lol! ;-)

962: Thanks for the tip on Hip Today, I'll check it out.... I hear ya on Greg and Simon, lol, they are incredible, and thats what I love about Jeff.... He's always having a blast, and you can tell him and JOE are 100% in synch!!.... And then \/irgil.... lol, he is a close second in my book.... What a drumming monster he is!!....
