Keniko - Yeah man, I turned around and sold it immediately. LOL. I didn't give up on DigiDesign, but the next interface I buy is going to probably be an HD system. I've been using the PreSonus FirePod and the difference is hardly noticeable at the LE level, IMO.

SteveeT - No problem, man... like I said, I assume it's no longer an issue with new gear, but there are some older 002r units floating around out there, and that's most likely why.

alter_ego_of_joe - Cool man, glad to hear it!! It'll pay off in the long run... :)

Dear Joe, For christmas I recieved your latest CD-Is There Love In Space. I noticed on track three-Hands In the Air, that your Ibanez sounds like a Fender. Do you use a Fender in the studio, or do you have a Fender sounding pod? Don't worry, I know all about sponsors and stuff like that so I can keep a secret. I hope your new CD I've been hearing about is a big success. Stay in touch, and keep safe!

Satriella: haha, lol, all you have to do is post a link (instructions are on the bottom of the screen when you select the Post Message icon), and insert all your words in between the brackets [link url="http:etc,etc"]text here[/link....

Do The Stu: Thank you also, and I forgot to mention Nuno Bettencourt and DramaGods.... Great to see Nuno back, and there is also a section there to view their video performing Megaton.... As with Forty Deuce, their website is being made, thus the myspace link holdover.... Enjoy....

Hey all,

I had a long, hard day today and went into my studio to unwind. I dialed up All Alone from Time Machine, turned down the lights and cranked my JBL LSR28P's. Man...what a great tune. If you haven't listened to that one in a while, dig it out and give it a spin. Just beautiful. The guitar tone is very well engineered. Sounds like a bit of re-amping to get two simultaneous amps ala Stevie Ray or maybe he's got a touch of the Fulltone Ultimate Octave switched in. Dunno. And of course Joe's phrasing is spot on. Just sharing. Peace.

Best Regards,

I just receaved the awesome Joe poster from the FanFare site. I have noticed something odd on my particular poster. Joe's signature is actually on it. I assumed that it was on all the posters and clearly wasn't written by Joe himself. As I look closely at the signature, it looks very real. It looks as if a marker has been used. This is not shown in the picture on the FanFare site.

What could this mean? Does Joe sign the posters?

If you have this poster, tell me about yours and if it has a signature.

OH GEEMINIES!!!

lucysorets,,,thanks for the mail....yu have one too.....peace,,, yur khasi has picked up...way to go!!!!! cheers...

tracie...yu have mail too...regards to chris...

ovation1 - Okay...I had a chance to listen. I really like Forty Deuce. I'm familiar with Richie Kotzen's guitar work, but this is the first time I've heard him sing. Man...I really like his voice. Are you familiar with Sammy Hagar's post-Van Halen solo work? These songs really remind me of Sammy's songwriting/structure. It's very good...

I looked at the DramaGods page...so this is the band that used to be Population 1? Why did they change the name? Did Nuno get some new band members, or...? I remember seeing them on television a few months back...they're also very good.

Keep me in the loop...let me know when their websites are up and running. Thanks. :-)

For the past few tours, Joe has been selling autographed items at the merchandise booth (I think it started with the G3 2003 tour). The posters FanFire is selling are most likely leftovers from the ITLIS? tour.

Grrr!!!!! I just put new strigns on all my guitars, and whilst I was teaching with my SA the top E kept going proper flat - so of course I kept trying to tune it, but it was only getting worse. Then, the bloody ball-end pinged off!!!!! How gay is that???!!! Not suposed to happen, me thinks...

In ther news, I HAV EBON JOVI TICKETS!!!! WEMBLEY STADIUM!!!!!! Nickleback are supporting, but I can overlook that minor setback... lol

Clarky - Yeah, possibly man. What's the venue?
