JOE: What's your position on music and drugs? I"m starting to run into this problem. I just had to quit a band because one of the members is a drug user, and I won't have anything to do with this. I'm starting to worry that this will hurt my ability to work with artists....but oh well. I just don't know why drugs and music have to be interlinked, especially since drugs and alcohol inhibit your ability to focus and play your best. It's all just very stupid I think.

Hey Joe,
I had a tech question for you if don't mind. Have you ever had any radio interference when using your ultimate octave? If so, what did you do to solve the problem? I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and whenever I use it, I get a lot of radio feedback in it.

peaceandguitars: Drugs in all forms will never make you a better composer, you just think it does, for a moment it opens your 3rd eye. It gives you the illusion you can, then you take more & more & more till all thats left is just the illusion & thats what you become after, an illusion of your own rambling mind, ie.. a nothing of what you dream about real life experience
In the words of Pink Floyds Wish You Were Here:
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Some think thats an anti war song
Peaceandguitars: Please dont become another statistic, you are way better than that....one thing i do know...any idiot can shoot up, snort, smoke, or drink him/herself to death
Take care of your mind/body & you wont have "serotonin deficiency" or worse look it up bro

OllyNo1, ha, thanks for checking out my soundclick matey! And thanks for your kind remarks! I dunno, I've just been sort of busy trying to improve bit by bit....improve my playing, my writing, my recording technique, everything really. It never happens quickly though! hehe. Thanks again dude, I really appreciate you checkin out my stuff!
Satriella, I love Nuno's lyrics. Yeah you're right about the "Fine By Me" lyrics, I know you know who else loves that song! haha. She remembered More Than Words so I loaned her some of Nuno's more recent stuff to check out and she loved it. More of his lyrics that go on my list are from one of Population 1's songs:
I was only just beginning to say, all the things that couldn't be said, then they come and take you away......I love you, I love you, I don't care who hears me, I know that it's uncool to sing it, it's just that, I'm tired of trying to find different ways to say it, and I love you, I love you, it's all that I'm feeling....just let it flow ~ Nuno Bettencourt, "Flow"
Here's a note to say I'm fine, but words escape between the lines, and tell the story, gone is glory, we have built our world on sand ~ Eric Johnson, "Once A Part Of Me"
Also, haha, thanks for the support! you remember I told you I met with a bunch of t2j-ers before the G3 show in Bournemouth? Olly was one of the crowd who I had the pleasure of meeting at said event....haven't seen him here since then so it's great to see a familiar old face return!
Notice how I'm avoiding your question on sharing my own lyrics?! haha, sorry but no, I'll get the songs recorded first and then put the lyrics up with the mp3's, otherwise it looses something!
Besides, I've only got one song actually finished, I've currently got 2 others that are half written (if that!). I hate writing lyrics, it's too difficult! :-D
Stevee T, thanks for checkin out the new tune buddy! Glad to hear you're diggin' it.....I'm annoyed with the poor mix, the guitars are all over the place and all too loud. I spent an hour and a half trying to sort it out this morning and they wound up too quiet, so I've had enough of it now! haha

js1200js1000, aww dude, that put a real big smile on my face man! I'm really happy to help, and if me helping you has given you some more positive perspective then I'm thrilled!
I once worked for about 6 months in the Deisgn and Technology department of a local boarding school. I was just working as a general workshop assistant, helping kids cut wood and drill holes and al that stuff, but my supervisor was the technician and he is the most helpful, generous guy on the planet.
Working with him and seeing how happy he was to help people really inspired me and made me realise the importance of trying to be good to people who deserve it.
I dunno man, but it seems that giving you a little help with your guitar stuff has given you a similar sort of experience/insight/whatever, and I think that's really cool! So thanks, I'm honored!
Wish I was round the corner so I could listen over the whammy section of "Searching" for you. The main thing though is that you're happy with the way you're playing it....if it sounds recognisable that's great, and if it sounds cool while you're playing it that's the only other thing that matters!
As we're on the subject of working out other people's stuff - sometimes it's useful to just sit and listen to the section of the song you're working on....leave the guitar on it's stand and just listen closely to the notes and how they're being played and in what order!
Rock on bro, have fun with "Searching"....much respect to you for working on such an epic tune!

Joe, See you at the House of Blues April 6th and very much looking forward to it! Give me some lesson recommendations in the Chicago area for my left handed 5 year out Les Paul player named Joe Pignato. He studies you, along with Steve Vai, John Pettrucci & Henry Garza from Los Lonely Bros.
Watch for him in the future, Joe he has it at age 5!
Peace! Waffle Eater

Do The Stu - I saw that show in Portland. I'm not a big Lenny
fan but was cool to see him perform. Seeing Aerosmith was
an experience that makes one smile when he thinks about it.
How was your show?
Got my tickets to see Joe in Denver yesterday!!!! That makes
me smile too!
Joe - Hows it going? Do you have enough people for your
road crew? I have a class A commercial license and I am
looking for something to do.
