ally...WHAT! You don't like yer chelles and cheese anymore? =(

Guitarmeister, yeah I've got "Second Heat". Scarified is awesome, especially on Guitar Wars.

And that's what he plays. He plays rock songs and sings (really well), often with stupid lyrics that have you cramped up with laughter. But sometimes he does get serious, and he'll transcribe and arrange a classical composition by one of the great composers such as Bach or Vivaldi.....for guitar. It's amazing, you've never heard anything like it.

On the one hand he's a technical player who plays shred stuff that is so refined it would make John Petrucci wince, and on the other hand he just plays really cool, often beuatiful, riffs or chord progressions that get your foot tapping or your head nodding, and you can't help but enjoy it.

I dunno, a lot of people don't understand him, and don't get the concept of someone being able to be so jovial about everything. There seems to be this assumption that he should be deadly serious and sincere and lots of people can't hack his whacky humour, but I personally think it's great. He is one of the most honest, friendly and interesting people you could ever meet because he is really just a normal guy who happens to be a 1st-class musician.

METAL TILL IM 60 - We don't know how long Dave LaRue will be Joe's bassist. I think it's safe to say he'll be there for the entire Super Colossal tour and wherever it takes him (North America, Europe, etc.). Steve Morse is pretty busy with Deep Purple at the moment, so Dave shouldn't have any other commitments.

I don't know what it will be like in the long run. From Joe's news post it sounds like Matt Bissonette is done for good, but I don't know it that means Dave is here on a permanent basis as Joe's permanent bassist (yeah, that was cheesey...but I just HAD to do it).

You can fix that in Microsoft Word if you copy and paste it there and then edit->select all and format->change case->sentence case.

Zinc Master "Idea of the Day

I had my cell phone ring changed to a loud sneeze. That way, not only do I not offend those around me, they actually bless me whenever anyone calls.

-Awesome idea...I'm going to do that with my cell phone....too bad I never have it on me though, it's usually somewhere in my car at all times. Somewhere, meaning maybe under a seat or something, I just don't use it.

MarimariSRV I actually haven't heard much from Buckethead, I'll check his stuff out and if I like it I'll go see him. I'll let you know.

Satriella If you are wondering about Paul Gilbert... go here:

http://www.racerxband.com/music.htm

-It's Racer X's site, you can check out their music... Paul Gilbert is one of the most amazing guitarists ever, you'll see what the 'fuss' is about him once you hear him. Download any of the songs (I'd download all of them if I were you, it's all that good!) Racer X is an incredible band, Paul's guitar playing is so technical and flawless. I'm not too familiar with Mr. Big, haven't really heard anything from when he was with Mr. Big. I'll have to see if my dad happens to have any Mr. Big CD's. The only thing I really know about Mr. Big is that Paul Gilbert was the guitarist and Billy Sheehan on bass, that's about it for me, at the time. You'd probably also like Paul Gilbert's solo albums, I didn't, but I think you would probably enjoy them. They were just too...happy?...sounding for me, too close to being considered, I don't want to say it, but...pop.

mikesb...how bout an interview for SOT...how'd the doc go....good I'm assuming by your happiness!

js1200js1000....okay, an yerself?

"vibe on six strings"

Hey Joe! Great music, your an inspiration to us all!

It would be cool if you could do a concert in Quebec City or Montreal this summer. Any chance?
