ovation1- Oh my word!!!! That is AMAZING! thanks for the links...scarified was awsom! Ummm not sure where you got the humour bit in Flamingo but that was awsum too!

I LOVE GUITARS!!!!!

hrh Fish - Thanks - Will give you a hug if I see you at the London gig! But yeah very heavy man...and I got a hole in my shoe..so walking in the rain was no fun either!

962 - I enjoy, I enjoy...I believe...I believe!!!!!

peaceandguitars - how ya doin today?

I got to listen to six Rush albums at work tonight...awesome. :-)

I know the band has been selling their Ytsejam Records releases on the road, but those are Dream Theater releases. I don't know if they'd sell a side project like HOTG.

awwwwww thnks michell :) those pics were so beautiful

i've got soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much to catch up

damm, had to sell some of my gear today to pay for some bills still got my guitar and psp, might have to sell the amp, dunno yet

nice to hear you released a new album

i am a guitarist, playing on a very beautiful Ibanez RG 470CB. the sound given by the Joe satriani and Steve Vai signature pickups is just wonderful. i can get the same sound as joe's on his last albums. there is no need to own a JS SERIE to get his sound. i play on a Roland Amp with the Cosm modelisation which gives me the R rectifier sound from mesa boogie amps. i get joe 's sound and tone . its just wonderfull

i have been playing bass for many years and i became a master of the bass.then i decided to start playing guitar on a ibanez model with the edge pro bridge and signature pickups. i playu only lead and solos. i am allways practising on joe 's songs and i can play stuff like Summer song or Satch boogie or even Surfing with the alien. i am always practising on his songs in order to get enough knownledge in order to make my own music and find my own path. i am not copiing.

i am french and i live in qatar. good to hear the release of the new album, i will have new stuff to work on.

what i love about satch's music is his blues side, like in big bad moon or slown down blues. in fact his music gives me inspiration and power to practise more and more to be the best and make my own way.

as i have been playing bass , i have a instinct knowledge of the fretboard, i mean i have no idea of the name of the notes bu i know what sound i will get buy playing on any case. so i can make new stuff and learn very easily as it is like automatic.

it would be awsome if you could come at DUNESTOCK in qatar, this is like the woodstock but it is in the desert.

have a nice day

Afternoon everyone!!!

It's half-term holidays; whoopdedoo!!!!!!!!!

Sandy!!

Satriella!!!

Plum Loco has been my call sign for about 8 or 9 years on this site and on other sites... I might not have left alot of messages on here like some other people, but I read it every day... I just might not have anything to add or talk about... nothing good anyways... just lately it seems things are just like a box of chocolates for me...

Bear has actually been my nickname that my parents gave me since I was born, nearly 34 years ago... short form for Barrie...

hope that helps!!!

Peace Out

Guitarmiester, yeah those are Paul's lyrics on the jam. "I-ba-nez, and la-ney amps are the coo-lest" haha, what a legend.

ovation1...thanks very much

What's green, fuzzy, has 4 legs, and, if it falls out of a tree, can kill you?

Ibanezplyr: Right-on man, glad to see you and Steven are still rocking, and Godspeed to you guys!! :-)

Oh, and btw, for you guys and anyone else here interested.... Paul Gilbert is looking like this these days.... lol, I think we are getting closer to an Instrumental album from him! :-)

Guitarmiester: Dude.... Where did you get the whole 90th anny show?!?!.... I've only seen a few parts of it floating around on the web....

Satriella: haha, lol, the funny thing about the Flamingo dealio was the name.... Thats what he calls it cause he cant play Flamenco, lol, you have to see the whole video (Terrifying Guitar Trip).... In the beginning, he is in a pool with his dog and an acoustic talking about his early days as a player.... At the end he has this Godzilla/Gamera toy fight staged at the end, lol, I love his humor!!....

Here's some more from that video Terrifying Guitar Trip....
